The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-12-16

| erlSneS the many
Those who insist on maintaining
such a system and who profit from
it, must pay the cost. The capital
lists and government must pay unem-
ployment insurance. The workers can
not, haven't the means to pay. ANY
proposal that the workers shall con-
tribute to unemployment insurance
funds, simply means that the workers
are to transfer their few pennies from
one pocket to the other. It does not
add to the income Of the workers.
Insurance to All Workers, Regardless
of Race, Sex, Age, Etc.
Hoover-Woll and Co. regard this
provision as unreasonable, also. The
system they support exists with the
help of policy which divides the
workers. One small section is bribed
with a small concession. This bride,
when given or promised, is a reward
| for treachery. In return, those who
receive it are required to desert and
betray the large body of workers.
Those Disseminated against, the most
oppressed and exploited are the large
ana basic sections OF the working
class. The Negro masses, the young
/ workers, the women and foreign born
workers, the uns5illed workers of all
age, sex, race and nationality. No
bill that is drawn in the interest OF
the working class can fell to provide
against discrimination. Ali proposals
that ignore this basic issue thereby
expose the treacherous character of
the sponsors of these fake measures.
The provisions in SO far as refusal
to scab etc, are self-evidert.
Workers Administration
Aside from the VIGOROUSLY corrupt
handling Of public funds, in all
branches and division of the govern
rnent, the workers have another very
good reason for demanding workers
administration OF unemployment in
srance funds.
The very facts that the bosses con-
slider that they are giving a dole to
the worker who is supported by pub
lie funds, is sufficient to indicate
what kind Of treatment would be &C.
corded to workers who become de-
pendant upon unemployment insur-
ance, If this insurance is administer
ed by agents of the bosses. The mil
lions Of workers who have been COM
PEELED to stand with hat in hand, in
long lines before the relief agencies,
know well the humiliation they are
compelled TO suffer at the hands Of
social workers" and other bureau
Gratis who administer these funds.
Workers administration is the only
| guarantee that all the vital provisions
Of our bill will be put into effect.
It is q cardinal point 70 (which we
must fight with all the power at our
command.
Can Our Demands Be Realized?
Those who fight against every
measure that improves the conditions
OF the working class say no. They
speak with assurance and seeming au-
thority. But they are expressing a
wash, rather than a fact. Matthew
Vol does not want the workers to
wni unemployment insurance. Mat
thew VOL knows that his masters
have no intention of granting this
basic demand Of the workers. For
Matthew Vol, Bill Green, Norman
Thomas, Murphy, Music, etal., the
word OF the multi-millionaire rulers
OF the y. S. is final. Each in his
own way directs himself and the or.
CARNATIONS under his control to the
task of helping the ruling class carry
out its announced policy of mass
starvation
But the workers, once they realize
the power Of their organized num-
bers learn to have as much confidence
in their power as the bosses and
their agents have In the power of
their money and their government.
We know well that the ruling class
Of the U. s. has no intention of
granting unemployment insurance.
We know that In order to secure I'M
employment insurance we must de-
velop the mass power of the workers.
We know that this power can be de-
veloped under militant, revolutionary
leadership. And we know that when
the ruling class is confronted by the
power Of the organized fighting
masses, they will be compelled to pro-
vide unemployment insurance that
conforms with the needs and demands
Of the masses.
Organize! Fight On. For Real
Unemployment Insurance!
The Workers Unemployment nj
surance Bill has been presented to
Congress. All their tricks and all
their lies will be Of no avail to the
legislative agents Of the ruling class.
The million masses of unemployed
and part-time workers will not per-
nit them to forget the demands en-
bodied In this bill.
Millions Of signatures: thousand of
of collective endorsements in all
unions, fraternsi societies, veterans
organizations and in the shops will
serve to remind Hoover and Congress
OF our insistent demands. Demon
strations around the homes and Of
fees OF members Of Congress will
