BY GRACE HUTCHINS
Labor Research Association

president WILLIAM GREEN
and other high-salaried officials
Of the A. F. of L. want Franklin
Roosevelt to be elected President
of the United States. Green has
endorsed the Democratic candidate
in the following misleading state
ment: Labor has very seldom
secured the enactment Of so many
measures which so favorably affect
their economic, social and indus
trial welfare during single ses-
sion of legislative body -. a most
rare accomplishment" =. brought
about by Roosevelt's personal
leadership and inspiration"
The facts are that practically every
bill looking toward the protection of
workers in New York state has been
defeated during Roosevelt's admin
istration. No less than six bills
looking toward unemployment re-
lief and social insurance were de-
feated during the recent session Of
the legislature.
The boosted "48-hour week" law
for women workers, already in eff
feet when Roosevelt came into Of
flee, was supposedly improved to
make it more enforceable" but
the amount of overtime still al
lowed, rs hours year, forces the
women to work legally 1917 or SO
hours week. No law, whatever,
limits the hours of work for women
in hotels. in domestic service or in
agriculture. Even such laws as
stand on the books are not en-
forced, and a tremendous increase
of illegal overtime work in New
York State is admitted by Frances
Perkins, state industrial commits
sioner. State factory inspectors
freely take brides from employers
who are freely breaking the labor
laws.
CUTS JOBLESS RELIEF
With at least 100000 jobless
workers in his territory, and the
numbers still inreasing, Governor
Roosevelt and his Temporary
Emergency Relief Administration
are cutting down relief in every
city in the state. The Home Re-
lief Bureau in New York City has
reduced relief by 80 per cent, from
1919 to 1894 family, although it
only pretends to feed Al 900 fam
lilies, when at least 100000 work
ers in the city are jobless.
Similar cuts in relief have taken
place in all upstate cities. In
Rochester the amount for each
family has been cut by 38 per cent,
SO that each person now gets only
Az cents for meal. In Utica the
rate now is only 8 1-3 cents per-
son, a meal, where eight months
ago it was 6 cents. The city of
Schenectady does not feed even
half Of the jobless and their fam
lilies. Throughout the state work
relief is being discontinued. Public
works, highways, bridges and build
ings, on which jobless workers are
supposedly employed, stand unfin-
ished.
BREAKS STRIKES
This is the record of Governor
Franklin ID. Roosevelt on unem-
ployment relief, while capitalist
newspapers carry such headlines as

Roosevelt - An Enemy
of Labor
Fights Relief for Jobless; Smashes Strikes

ROOSEVELT, in cooperation
IL with the rich banker, Lieuten-
ant Governor Herbert H. Lehman,
has been directly responsible for
breaking strikes in New York State.
The most recent instance of their
strike breaking was the sell-out of
$1,000 needle trades workers who
struck against a wage-cut of SIS a
week-about 10 per cent-in July,
1882. Lehman, with Roosevelt be-
hind him, was "arbiter" of the
strike and handed the victory over
to the bosses, as a matter of course.
Officials of the International La
dies Garment Workers Union &C
cepted this sell-out and forced the
rank and file workers back into
the shops on terms that reduce
them again to the sweatshop level.
This is the same Herbert Lehman
who is said to have paid 100000 in
1928 to "rehabilitate" the I. l.. G.
w. u, but really to fight the Left
Wing needle trades workers in this
union
Roosevelt's strike breaking rec
ord in the state is m line with his
record as Assistant Secretary of the
Navy during the imperialist World
War, when he was instrumental in
creating the War Labor Board,
especially in order to prevent
strikes,

long summer months. But he
quickly pardoned a prisoner who
during prison "riot" turned
against his fellow workers in Jail
and helped the guards to fire upon
them
With the power of life and death
in his hands, the Governor hastily
runs over the prisoners cases
brought to him for his decision,
decides in about ga minutes on
each one, according to his biog-
rapher, and the mans case is then
put into one of two piles, one for
the heaven" of release, the other
for the hell of execution. If it
is the case of a gangster favored
by Tammany Hall, the Governor
quickly pardons him, and the Tiger
will register his gratitude in votes.
Thus gangsterism flourishes in New
York State. Such a notorious mur-
derer and bootlegger as LEGS" Dia-
mond, for example, could live on a
handsome estate near Catskill, N.
Y, within fifty miles of the Gov
ernor at Albany, and be sure of
protection from the Governors
state police.
But let unemployed workers come
within SO miles of Albany, as in
the Hunger March of 1881, and the
Governor orders out the police to
crack their heads with clubs. One
worker was SO seriously injured in
this demonstration before the state
buildings at Albany that he was
not expected to live, and many
others were severely beaten.
BETRAYS THE
FARM WORKERS
In making a special bid for the
farmers votes, Roosevelt claims to
be a farmer" himself, because he
owns thousand acres of land and
plants trees He boasts of ''re-
ducing the farmers taxes" Rich
farm owners, of course, welcome
such reduction in taxes and hail
Roosevelt as a savior" But work
ing farmers and farm laborers,
Shaving 10 hours a day for 81, know
that Roosevelt is no friend of the
agricultural workers and poor farm
ers. The increasing number of ten
ant farmers, crushed out of the
farms they formerly owned and
forced to- give up because of mort
cages foreclosed, know that Roose-
welt is no friend of the working
farmers. He is at all times him
