Communists Demand
Social Insurance
(By Labor Research AssOciatiOnl

(By Labor Research Association
On the condition of the unem-
ployed and the relief of the suf-
fering millions, the Republican
party platform has only this to
say: 1--WE commend the construc-
tive work of the United States
Employment Service in the Depart
ment of Labor" The Democratic
platform talks vaguely about 'Ex-
tension of Federal credit to the
states to provide unemployment
relief" It proposes a "substan-
tial reduction in the hours of Ia
bOr," to "spread" unemployment,
which is simply another wage cut
ting scheme.
Wages Drop 40 Per Cent
Millions of. workers can testify
10 the results of this policy. Be
tween December, 1928, and June,
1891, the total wages paid in
manufacturing industries dropped
about 40 per cent, and Professor
William Leiserson estimated a
drop of $22,OOO,OO0 in wages be-
tween 1929 and 1881. This huge
figure is made up of direct wage
cuts such as the Is per cent wage
cut of the steel workers, 10 PEI
cent in October, 1881, and another
Is per cent in May, 1882, and the
10 per cent cut of a million anC

unemployment means for the
Democrats making those still a

MINERS In NEED

Line of Class Struggle

Disastrous conditions of hunger
and misery threaten the very ex-
istanoe of the striking miners In
eastern Ohio. Relief is needed at
once to keep thousands of men and
children fighting the coal opera
tors and their agents in the UNM

Saturdays conference at the
WIR headquarters brought out the
greatest challenge that has been
offered the workers relief organi-
cation in this country. Every To-
cal made the same report: They
cannot get money to operate the
relief trucks. Trucks and the rick
ETY. autos can't go out to solicit
relief for the same reason. Some
food comes from the local stores
warehouses and farms, some comes
In from outside, but no money b

dependent on adequate light
ing, many homes still lack lamps enough
for the entire family to read by.
There was, for example, only one
lamp in our old room, and that was in
the center of the room on the table
under the chandelier, with conspicu-
ous wire connecting the two. There
was plenty of light in the center, but
the rest of the room was in utter dark
ness so far as easy reading was con-
cerned.
Because Of the need for localized
light, reflected directly on your book or
magazine, chandeliers should rarely be
used in the average small home. Ac-
cordingly we eliminate the chandelier
entirely, installing several base outlets
instead and resort to lamps. The CEN
ter table, as you remember. we have
already removed to the right end of
the couch against the wall. The lamp
that stood on it was too tall for COM
Portable reading, so was discarded en-
tirely. Its place is taken by a vase
lamp with a round parchment shade.
Another small lamp Of lighter proper
tion goes on the end table at the left
arm of the sofa, and bridge lamp is
placed for convenience next to the easy
chair. The shades Of all these lamps
are in neutral tints to increase the feel
ing of restfulness in the room. Both
silk and parchment shades are repre-
ssnted. Only the shade on the severely
simple lamp used on the writing desk
Is tinted green, the keynote of our color
