The Labor Lieutenants of Wall Street
for the Six-Hour Day and Five
Day Week

! The executive council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, meeting in Atlantic City, New
Jersey on July 20 again showed that it is nothing
but a part of the apparatus of exploitation and
oppression of Wall Street. 1t issued statement
'denouncng" the capitalists for having done nOtn-
ing for the unemployed to get out of the crisis.
Accompanying this "denunciation" was the
the FederatiOn's own "relief" program. This is
the five day week and the six hour day-with cor
responding reduction in wages! This "relief" is
relief for the bankers and for the capitalist class.
The Federation tells the capitalist class that what
they should do is to cut the wages of those who
are still working by shortening their hours still
further, and give a few of the unemployed part
time jobs.
This is nothing but the Hoover stagger-sys-
tenn which the capitalists have already instituted
on large scale, that is, part time work. Eighty
five per cent of these still working are working
one, two, three or so days week This program
which the capitalists have already put into effect
to make the working class continue to bear the
burden of the crisis is the American Federation
of Labor "relief' program.

Pioneers Appreciate Farmers Support

1--WE learn new songs and prac-
tice the old ones. The next perrou
is the one we like so well, swim
ming. After we have had dinner
we have an hour for rest period
before We begin the next class. In
this next period we usually prac-
tice for programs. Next is the
sports period in which we learn
tricks or tumbles or else we play
games. Then we have a real study
period. In that period we learn
about the class struggle and read
books or pamphlets about Joe York
Harry Simms, Tom Mooney, the
Scottsboro boys, the five year plan
etc. Then we swim again and then
eat supper and we have good meals
too. Until 8 o'clock we learn TO
dance. From 8 o'clock until 9 we
either have programs, meetings,
games, or some other entertain
ment. At our camp meetings we
make our own rules and decide on
our punishments. All the Com
rades attend the meeting.
All together We have enjoyed il
all and we all hate to think OF
going home so soon.

Demonstrate August l Against
Imperialist War

On July II eleven Nicaraguan National
Guardsmen, led by Lieutenant Walter ]. Stone, of
the UNITED STATE MARINES, fought 40 rebel
peasants. Two of the rebels were killed. On the
same and the following day Lieutenant Sidney NJ.
Ragsdale, of the UNITED STATES MARINES,
with patrol of q Nicaraguan National Guards
men made two surprise attacks on rebels at Las
Sandillas and OUTAGE. Two rebels were wounded
in the first clash and three on the second.
The capitalist press carries out the same
policy as it did several years ago of not reporting
losses to the National Guard or in the U. s.
MARINES, in order to hide the fact that Amer
lean workers and farmers sons are being killed
fighting for Wall Street against the peasants of
Nicaragua.
