promises that no one shall go cold,
unsheltered or hungry Hamilton
Fish declared that no one in this
country has suffered from hunger
and cold. This is a brszen lie, as
the workers Of New York can testi-
fly. Lehman must explain to ths two
and a half million unemployed OF
this state and the millions OF part
time workers who are toiling 81
starvation wages, why. during the
two years of the Roosevelt admins
tration, workers have starved in the
state. children have tainted from
hunger at their desks. many hsse
committed suicide out of despair,
young workers have been driven to
crime.
Lehman promises a program look
ing towards unemployment insur-
ance.' Amter continued I'VE know
this program. this program of
maximum of $4,000 year to work
ers who in the future may be unem-
ployed Lehman stands for a shorter
work week This is the program Of
Hoover and Donayan, the stagger
plan of Hoover, who is determined
that the burden of the crisis and the
relief of the unemployed shall be
put on the shoulders of those who
still have jobs at miserable wages

that they are the outspoken enemies
of the Negro people, looking on and
approving the lynch terror against
the Negroes The attacks on the
Negroes, as well as the general Of
fensive against the whole working
class, are supported by the socialist

against starvation and inperialist
war
