We Hope It
Is Not True

One billion is a recognition
Of the principle we have
been a advocating g amidst
much jeering, but it means
little more than a gesture as
far as getting anywhere with
unemployment is concerned.
The -billion-dollar plan
of Senator Wagner is not
enough, but it is many times
better; for it not only
doubles the amount the
President proposes, but it
does not wait on the re-
covery Of private business to
become operative. 1t be-
comes operative now on pub
lie work-and public work
of real service to the nation.
A great national network of
permanently improved high
ways does not pay private
business a dividend in
money, but it pays the ma
ton and keeps on paying
the nation.
It would be an amazing
thing were the Democrats in
Congress to dump the Wag-
ner bill or some other bill
providing a prosperity loan
at the behest of the Presi-
dent and on his plan. 1t
would be so amazing and so
indefensible that we hope it
is not true. They ought to
know by this time that they
do not become impressive by
permitting the President,
alarmed by their program,
to chisel in with something
not so good.
The Washington times., 1932-05-17
The Theory Of the
Presidential Plan

But better than giving or
loaning money to prevent
starvation is furnis s h in g
funds to furnish jobs and on
a scale that will approx
mately approach the needs Of
the hour. The President
proposes to make just a little
over one billion available for
private e corporations that
have contracts on hand they
cannot fill without a loan.
There is no assurance that
any impressive part Of that
one billion will be asked on
the ground that orders are
waiting to be filled. The
whole theory of the presi-
Dental plan is based upon
the theory that there is, or
will be, a business revival
and whether the jobless men
get any jobs or not depends
upon there being a business
revival this summer.
Under the presidential
plan of opening jobs he
calls it his plan of "unem-
ployment relic" mot so per
cent Of the unemployed in
New York city alone could
hope for a job.

In a call to the workers to attend
the trial and rally to the fight
against race hatred, the union points
out:

trial Union has for its policy the
Unity of all workers for common
struggle against the bosses. The pro-

trial Union calls especially for a
fight for the rights of the most I'M

the trade, the Negro workers. Our
union regards race prejudice as one
Of the most terrible curses of the

B allyn TENANTS
WIN DEMANDS
Force Recognition of
House Committee

NEW YORK.-Twenty- three ten
ants of 292 Hinsley St., Brooklyn,
have won a strike for reduction of
two dollars per apartment and rec
ignition of the House Committee.
In the beginning Of the strike the
landlord wanted to agree on the re-
duction, but refused to recognize the
House Committee. The tenants re-
allied that this was an attempt to
keep them unorganized and held out
for recognition Of the House Com
mittee. The demands were won In
spite Of the scabbing of two tenants,
I. Criger and Morris Plaster who
sought to curry favor with the land
lord at the expense of betrayal Of
their fellow tenants.

TRY TO SMASH
BREAD STRIKE
Socialists Aid Bosses to
Keep Prices High

About go persons attended the
meeting called by the labor takers to
break the bread strike at Brighton
Beach.
Many of those present were bakery
workers who. were forced by their
bosses to attend this meeting The
others comprised the Bosses them
selves and their henchmen, gangsters
and Socialists.
The purpose of the bakery bosses,
the gangsters and socialists" is to
smash the offensive of the Bread
Strike Committee, and to effect a
forced settlement on the price of
bread.
The strike committee calls upon all
workers and consumers to stand on
guard against any settlement arrang-
ed by the takers and socialists.
Yesterday. IL workers appeared in
court and the Judge who supports the
bakery bosses, refused to try the cases
without the district attorney, explain
ing that the arrested strikers are ter
rible criminals" This same judge adj
yised the attorney of the bakery boss
es to cause an injunction to be issued
against the bread strikers.
The bosses lawyer replied that he
would get an injunction against the
thousands who are striking and pick
citing for the lower price of bread.
Three pickets were arrested today
while on duty in front of the Ocean
View Bakery. All three were latr re-
leased.

Bosses of Los Angeles Try to
Declare the Communist Party
Illegal at Trial of IS Workers

"a retired carpenter, a real estate
salesman and one oil pumper.
In his opening statement the pro-
secutOr frankly stated that his pur-
pose is to prove that the Communist
Party follows Illegal methods and
means, as overthrOWing Of the gov
eminent by force and violence, there
by making all the defendants guilty.
He admitted that the Long Beach
meeting itself did not disturb the
peace. The prosecutor put Hynes, the
infamous Red Squad" agent on the
stand. He took all day reading from
many books and pamphlets, and cit-
ing quotations. HyneS still holds the
stand. Tomorrow Hynes and the pro-
secution will use the strategy of try@
ing TO prove that the Party believes
in forcible and violent overthrow Of
the government and then try TO es~
tahlish that the workers are Corn
n,unist Party members and on these

This raises the question of the right
Of the legal existence of the party and
makes it q case of the utmost I'm
portance. Mass pressure and teIe-
grams to Judge Charles d. Wallace,
Jergens Trust Building, Long Beach,
California, should be sent by workers
and workers organizations to help
win the right Of the Party to legal
existence. Among the defendants are
Sam Darcy, Ida RothStein, Lillian
Goodman, Edward Sander.

Fellow workers: This white chauv-

lines of race and nationality, is part
of the bosses campaign to lower the
