DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 29.-About
300 coal wagon drivers and yqardmen
are on strike in nine yards of four
companies here.

following the usual policy Of keeping
groups of workers In while others are
out on strike.
There are about 1876 coal dealers
in the city, but only a handful are
affected, giving the bosses an OPP
portunity of crushing the strike.
The demands put forward are:
Union recognition, wage increases to

SMALL BOSSES
REVOLVING
AGAINST NRA
M aneuver to Calm
Restlessness Made
By Roosevelt
BY Marguerite Young

DAILY Worker Washington Bureau)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 90
In a political maneuver de-
signed to calm the restlessness
Of the lower middle class as a
result of the New Deals qualification
of big business, the Roosevelt Gov
eminent today launched plan to
draw little business" closer to the
MIA. machine and to bring Congress
nearer to the White Houee.
President Roosevelt held long con-
ference with MIRA. Administrators,
General Hugh S. Johnson and two
leaders of the Progressive bloc of the
Senate, William Borah Of Idaho, and
Gerald Nye of North Dakota. Later
the President and johnson were rep
resented at the White House as agree
ing with the Senators that the MIRA.
in operation has raised two grave
possibilities:
/. That apparently some codes
may work in such a way that big
business is favored to the detriment
of little business;
2. That certain developments tend
to show that the Sherman Anti Trust
Law principle against justification
nd sseasessel t-rtionl tasa iu some
mysterious way been abolihed.
Roosevelt was represented further
as being eager to remedy any such
evils as might arise.
1t was suggested that perhaps leg
islat;on would be necessary to clarity
the Antitrust principle, making it
clear that this has. not been scuttled
under the NR.A., and that an adj
ministrative board similar to the Ma
tional Labor Board may solve the
problem of Fighting any wrongs to
small business under the codes.
1t is obvious that if the board is
to small business as the Strike-b break
ing National Labor Board has been
and still is to labor, the result will be
an actual further attack on small
business, but under a slicker cloak Of
demagogy.
1t was also said today at the White
House that Senator Robert F. Wagner
of New York has asked to be relieved
of the Craftsmanship of the National
Labor Board, in order to fulfill his
duties in the Senate, but has agreed
to retain the craftsmanship until a
successor is selected. 1t is understood
that Wagner is trying to get out from
under the MIRA. criticism expected
with the opening of Congress. 1t
would not be surprising if he himself
will complain of certain admins
trative distractions.
A drive in Congress for protection
of little business" is widely antic-
ipated. The administrations new
maneuver undoubtedly was planned
in anticipation of it. 1t was explained
that the President is eager to have
Congress more completely informed
of the working of the administrative
branch which is dominated by the
White House, and that there is some
possibility that this may be accom-
plished by establishing closer contact
between certain Congressional Com
mittees and the MIRA.

workers arrested are Jack Newman,
Ben Sitessiean. Sol Goldbund, Nor
ris Stern and Vincent Salminci.
Not any of these workers were at
the spot at the time of the shooting,
but police are obviously holding them
as active union members with the in
tent.on of planning frame-up. They
were put through the third degree
and are now in Raymond Street Jail
on order Of Magistrate Kozetti Of the
10th District Magistrates Court. They
are being held on $4,000 bail for
further investigation.

the International Labor Defense is

at the request of state organizations,
to allow time for more adequate prep

The statement Of the national COM

Complying with Ghe request of sew
eral state committees, which have not

funds to enable the National Com

against the fake unemployment in
surance bills that are cropping up in
all sections of the country, and which
will be presented not only to Congress

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.--
Deliberately DOMINIC the man
tie of the late Woodrow Wilson,
war president who led the
United States into impariaIist
war in 1917, Roosevelt yester-
day proclaimed his policies to be an
extension of Wilson'S, and promised
that from now on the United States
is opposed to armed intervention" in
the affairs Of other countries.
Immediately after this promise.
Roosevelt declared one exception, in
the case where "t.3e failure of the
orderly processes in a country affect
the other nations Of the continent
1t is obvious that this EXCEPT OH
completely nullifies the effect OF the
promise.
Wilson Promises
Bringing the present international
situation into historic analogy with
the war period of Wilson, Roosevelt
declared:
1T is, believe, true that the
events of the past ten months have
caused greater interest in gov
eminent, the problems OF govern
pent, and TIE purpose of govern
nient than iii any similar period
in cur history; and yet this recen.
interest and comprehension woilld
have been impossible for the Amer
lean people had they not had from
Woodrow Wilson the original slim
illus and the original understanding
of which he spoke twenty years
ago."
Trade War
Directing his remarks particularly
to the Latin and South American
countries for whose trade Wall Street
imperialism is vying against the op-
position Of Great Britain, Roosevelt
sought to cement closer bonds be-
tween them and Wall Street imperial
ism, by diSclaiming any desire for
territorial expansion
Roosevelt declared that through the
League of Nations "the nations OF
the world have CROPPED forward to
find something better than the old
way Of composing differences" ITO
day." he said, "the United States is CO
operating more openly in the fuller
utilization of the League of Nations
machinery than ever before" He,
declared, however, that the U. S. does
not contemplate membership"
London Talks of Trade
The real meaning of Roosevelt's
non-intervention promise can be
guaged by the reaction reported in
the foreign preos. London, for ex-
ample, recognizes openly the trade
war character of Roosevelt's peace
diplomacy, when a prominent gov.
eminent member stated, The Pres
ident's hands-off attitude in Lat;r.
America affords renewed assurance
of Anglo-United States commercial
competition with q decidedly fail
field on their respective merits"
French Imperialism Pleased
French imperialism, che most poT-
erful military machine in Europe,
found the speech gratifying,
Paul Boncour, French Foreign
Minister calling it magnificent"
This is because French Imperialism
has nothing to lose from Rooseyelt's
hint that disarmament is now inn
possible because of "a 10 per gent
of the worlds population who may
go along with their leadership which
seeks territorial expansion" French
imperialism sees in these words
