There Are Going 10 Be Many Changes in the Present Personnel of Our Local Courts At torney Joseph Davis and Attorney Sidney Cassel Are Both in Line for Positions
JUDGESHIPS ARE
 UNDER SPOTLIGHT

With a change in the personnel of the bench of the city court now assured. due to a difference of party control between tho state sem ate and house, which will both be- gin sitting on the f1rIs Monday of January for the 1883 session, much speculation Is now rampant here as to the makeup of the local trib- unai for the next two years. Att torney Joseph Davis, we'll known democratic lawyer, a leader among the Jewish people, was known to- day to be one of those ardentiy backed at the present time for one of the prosecutors jobs.
 It was also, reliably reported that Attorney Sidney Cassell was Tn the field for either the post o. prosecu- tor or clerk. ssi
 flor the vacancy .a on the city bench 1t was originally reported di- rectly after election that the lead- ing candidates are Attorneys Pat lck Healey and James M. Lynch.
 Nobody knows who will be re- Heved of the city, court bench job yet. Judge John F. McGrath, the senior judge, and Judge Theodore V. Meyer, the junior member of the city court bench, are now both Ion the spot" as far as the gover- nor's nominations are concerned.

A. F. L. and S, P. Utilize Issue OF
Jobless Insurance to Divide Labor
Try to Deoblize Mass Movement for Federal Insurance
and to Stem Revolt of Oevn Members

call also upon the Socialist Party
to help stem the tide.
BUREAUCRATS ACT QUICKLY
The Socialist Party and the A. F.
of L. bureaucrats have acted
quickly. They have leaped to the
rescue of Wall Street government
in manner that teStifies to their
constant alertness in defense of the
interests of capitalism against the
working class. In particular have
they sprung to the rescue Of the
incoming Roosevelt administration.
The Socialist Party on the ques-
ton OF unemployment insurance
now stands on the same platform
with Roosevelt. Roosevelt also is
for state unemployment insurance
as against federal unemployment
insurance.
Norman Thomas, like President
William Green and the Executive
Council of the A. F. Of L., assumes
that compulsory federal unemploy-
ment insurance would be declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court. In other words, they are
for securing feeding, clothing and
housing of the unemployed by con-
Stitutional means which the Su-
preme Court will uphold, insurance
by states; in other words, when no
one knows better than they do that
the Supreme Court will not look
with more favor upon state insur-
ance than federal insurance. The
principle is the same.
The legality of unemployment
insurance, state or federal, or both,
will not be decided by congress and
the courts but by the workers in
the factories and on the streets.
The Communist Party works for
state unemployment insurance but
not as against federal unemploy-
ment insurance. 1t organizes the
workers to fight for compulsory
unemployment insurance in their
respective states as an essential
part of the struggle against the
hunger offensive and for coYnpul-
sorry federal unemployment insur-
ance at the expense Of the en-
ployers and the government.
. %
THE Communist Party knows that
only organization and reyolu-
tionary struggle will force unem-
ployn1ent insurance by the states
and the federal government. 1t
organizes workers for such strug-
giles.
This Is the great difference.
The Socialist Party wants to
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-12-01

keep the whole movement of the
masses within the legal bounds of
capitalist democracy. Its tactics
are no different from those of the
A. F. of L.-Yoting and lobbying.
Its program has the same objective
as that of the A. F. of Ito de-
fend and preserve capitalism by
tooling workers into placing all
their faith in the futile methods
of reformiSt politics.
What does Norman Thomas say,
in the same article from which we
quote above?
Until we can act nationally in
national crises democracy is in
grave danger
What democracy? Why, capt.
talist democracy, Of Counsel Capt.
taliSt democracy is the present or
der of things in the United States
whereby 15-16,000,000 workers are
unemployed, where the standard of
living Of the working class has been
reduced by some 70 per cent, where
the government in three years of
the crisis has not put one dollar
in the hands of q single unem-
ployed worker.
DEMOCRACY is IN DANGER"
1t is this democracy, whose SUI
preme Court, as Thomas admits,
would probably declare federal
compulsory unemployment insur-
ance unconstitutional, that he is SO
concerned about. Democracy is in
danger" because millions of work
ers are unemployed and hungry,
because, led by the Communist
Party and the Unemployed Coun-
ellis they are organizing, protest.
ing, demonstrating, battling with
capitalism's police, supporting the
Hunger March of their delegates
to Washington in meetings in
which tens of thousands of work
ers have, taken part.
Democracy" is in danger be-
cause masses of workers are de-
manding and fighting for the right
to live!
THOMAS, therefore, brings the
L Socialist Party to the assistance
Of capitalist democracy. In ALI
ance with the A. F. of l.. bureau
crazy he tried to discourage action
for unemployment insurance on q
national scale, split the movement
into 48 sections, put it on q purely
parliamentary basis and thus re-
lieve some of the pressure on capi-
talist democracy. This is the S. p.
tactic.

There was the day David sat near
him during the dinner period. Water
