ARMOUR TOILERS
TALKING UNITY,
ORGANIZATION
Ready to Resist More
Wage-Cuts and
Lay-Offs

KANSAS CITY, Kansas.-Armour
packing plant is laying off quite a
number of workers and putting them
on the stagger system, the worker
working one week and laid off the
next.
They are building a new chute be-
tween Fowler's and Armour's, to cost,
they tell us, $4,000, and this will
mean more lay-offs because Of in
creased mechanization.
The mechanical department in Ar
mour's boiler makers,
etc.-has laid off very many workers.
Workers have been working for only
Is cents an hour which is much less
than they used to get. Then they
lay them off and hire them back at
20 cents an hour. Some system!
Workers here will not stand for this
without resistance. They are now
talking unity and organization and
it is high time we had such unity
without such misleaders and traitors
as Danny Lane, T. A. McRish and
Johnny Hart of the A. F. of L., who
wrecked our union years ago.

CHICAGO BREAD
STRIKE GOES ON
Consumers Fight 100
Per Cent Rise in Price

CHICAGO, (By MaiD. - Battling
VIGOROUSLY against gangsters, slug
gers, and police, the fourth day OF
ssee Lawndale bread strike finds the
workers, wives, and children OF the
Lawndale neighborhood, more deter
mined than over to force the bosses
to take back the raise in bread prices
from cents to IL cents.
Three to- four hundred adults went
out on the picket line today. Three
hundred children, shouting slogans,
cheering, and singing, paraded down
10Th st., Kedzie Ave. and Roosevelt
Rd. The pickets did not make the
mistake today of trying to cover all
the bakeries In the neighborhood, but
concentrated on few of the most
important ones Thus there were
two pickets to store, and 20 to 30
for a defense corps.
The bosses, through their agents,
the Bravernan, Kaufman, Green
clique, have already offered to come
down to 10 cents a loaf- The rank
and file workers in the bakers union
should not allow these gangster lead
ers to play them off against the un-
employed, but should make united
front with the unemployed.
!. To broaden the base of the strike,
the Wonen's Council, Unemployed
Council and the Provisional Bread
Strike Committee are issuing call
for a conference to be held Wednes-
day. Jan. 4, at 8 p. m. at 1851 w.
osevelt Road and at 4006 w. Roos-

Share-the-WOrk
Plan Put Over on
Hotel Taft Workers

NEW YORK CITY.-We, the
workers of the Hotel Taft, want to
explain how the management came
out with policy of helping the I'M
employed with a share the-work
plan.
The walters were working 6 days a
week at the rate Of $3.50 a week.
Now we work 5 days a week at the
rate OF SO cents day. They were
able, Of course, to take more work
ers on to work, but this didn't put
a penny more on the payroll. On
the contrary. They saved money
how? Before they applied this phony
share-the-work policy, they were
compelled to hire extra men for every
occasion to guarantee service, at the
rate Of $3.50, but now the steady
men have to come and assure the
service for 81. They applied a sys-
tenn Of terror by exposing any little
fault, laying you off for three days
or more without pay. No overtime
is paid for extra hours.
To show an example of co-opera-
ton, the management laid off the
bread girl, who was paid $12 week,
to hire another at the rate of So
with two hours added to the time
The dish-washers have to work II
hours day, with speed-up sys-
tenn, at the rate of $11 week.
We also want to know that for
the purpose of publicity the manage
ment did not hesitate to take off
one day out of our already starvation
wages, without our consent, to sup
port the Gibson Committee (reliet
for unemployed-Ed).

restitution and to the aid of soup

Such criticism arising in Germany
a defeated nation whose toiling popu-
lation groans under the uSury ex-
tracted by Wall Street bankers, are
especially damaging to the prestige
of American imperialism. The re-
port tries to answer them but does
not.
Professor Bum also noted shrewdly
that:
There is peculiar charm to the
American world emanating from
Russia. If the Five Year Plan will
be carried out in reality, 1t will lead
many people to the idea that the
Russians, who not so very long ago
used to be considered as emotional,
gifted barbariarls {. have now over
taken the Americans in the domain
of technique, while in regard to con-
Scious social guidance of society, as
demonstrated by their success, they
have surpassed the Americans"

In the United States we have 49,
100000 unemployed. We have a
rapid extension of the crisis.
We have the Report of the Hoover
Committee on Recent Social Trends.
The perspective given the American
working class for 1888 is in line with
the general admission of capitalist
bankruptcy and failure to find any
way out of the crisis except by the
still further destruction of the living
standards of the masses. 1t says:
THE American standard Of living
for the very near future may decline
because of the lower wages caused
by unemployment, possible slowness
of business recovery and the weakness
of mass action by employees"

years of the F1ve-Year Plan the pro-
duction Of socialist industry doubled
while the production of heavy indus
try advanced three and a half times
compared with pre-war Russia. Yet
this isn't an, the very quality Of the
industries has changed. A number
Of entirely new INDUSTRIES have beer
created which the Soviet Union did
not know before and the creation OF
a powerful industry laid a firm basis
for the technical equipment OF agri-
culture. Supported by the new ma
chine technique, the Soviet Union left
far behind the pre-war cultivated

veloped industrial cultures and are

Capitalism in the countryside mas

Notes

scHLEICHER AND

SCHLEICHER AND
THE SOCIALISTS
The German Social Democracy is
trying its hardest to make its ad-
terents believe that it is a party oil
serious, even dangerous opposition to
the Won Schleicher cabinet. The
facts tell different story however
l. Even under Won Papen so So
cialist deputies were ready to tolerate
the cabinet. After the fall OF Won
Papen this number has grown con-
siderably, especially among these
Reichstag deputies who belong to the
trade union wing Of the German So
cialist Party.
2. Leipart's letter to Won Schleich-
er frankly states that the Schleicher
cabinet is an acceptable partner, with
whom an agreement can be reached.
depart is president of the German
Federation of Labor, and an influ-
entail leader of the German Socialist
Party.
3. Leipart's interview with a re-
porter of the Paris Excelsior" is an
unabashed defense Of Schleicher and
his plans, compelling even the So
cialist Berlin "Vorwaerts" Of Decen1-
Der It'll to make a den1agogic attack
upon Leipart's policy.
4. We have such a significant fact
as the statement of the socialist edi-
tor-in-chief of the "Hessische Volks-
freund," who declares in an editorial:
let Schleicher go to work! We
are not interested in the overthrow
Of the Schleicher government.
ScbIeicher has gotten in touch with
!the great socialist labor front, and
ae should not hinder him in the
making of this experiment, espe-
cialIy since this Is the only road
leading anywhere at the present
time"
5. We have the testimony OF the
'Deutsche Fuehrerbriefe" of Decen-
Der End (this is an information SER
vice gotten out for the biggest cap
tains of Germany industry and fin
Rnce), as follows:
Indeed, there is no doubt that
Leipart and his still numerous sup
porters, including even Tarnow lin
fIuential trade union leader, are
ready to separate from the Socialist
Party as soon as the Government
considers 1t advisable to make con-
cessions to him in this field"
6. There is the fact of the Reichs-
banners participation IN the linden
burg Curatorium, which was estab-
ished to militarize and fascize the
Dung workers of Germany. CThe
aeichsbanner is senli-military Or
anization established largely by the
socialists, with the aid of the Cath
lies and the democrats, to defend
he republic.")
Paste these facts in your hat; tell
our socialist fellow workers and
eighbors about them; and don't be
lrprised when you find the press
DON reporting that the German So
ialists are directly cooperating with
he arch-fascist Won Schleicher.

While the capitalist press,
the economists of the univers.
ity chairs, government and
banking business fOrecasters"
like DR.. julius Klein, assistant
Secretary of Commerce, are
predicting recovery from the
depression" as the New Year
gets going, the cold economic facts
refute them.
Steel making operations were down
to ID per cent Of capacity, the last
week of the year as compared to Is
per cent the previous week. Untitled
orders for steel have decreased i1Af6
in November, which indicates a still
further decline in actual production.
This figure brought untitled orders
down to new record low for all
time.
Back More Than Three Decades
The catastrophe fall in production
exceeds anything ever before known
in all recorded history. Steel, lead,
zinc, silver, gold, coal-production OF
these have gone back to the levels
of 1895 and some as far back as the
eighties Of the last century, that is
from thlrty-five to fifty years. This
Is one of the new features In capital
list crises-all previous declines in
production during a crisis having
stopped short of the point from
which its own cycle started.
While the number Of unemployed
has gone up further ID per cent,
bringing the number to more than
$4,000, 900. wages of those still en-
ployed have sunk more than 3 per
cent the past thirty days.
Capitalist agencies that furnish in
formation for the ruling class, how
ever, refute the lying propaganda Of
the capitalist press and admit that
the coming winter will be the worst
ever experienced. Thus Standard
Statistics, says:
The unemployment relief problem
will reach new heights during the
coming winter. Not only viii the
number of unemployed be greater
than last year, but a larger proper
ton will be dependent upon charity
for support at time when the finan-
cial resources Of private and public
agencies will have been weakened by
three winters of extraordinary need.
The $500 900, 900 provided In the
Relief Act promises to be inadequate.
-. In short, both the near and long
term aspects Of the domestic employ
ment situation are such as to defy
any early or conclusive settlement"

I'VE entered Socialism in the front

and heavy yoke, as formerly consid-

valance and heroism (Stalin). The
socialist onslaught over the entire
field Of socialist construction, the
Bolshevist trempoes in the building
Of socialism revealed the depths Of
the workingclass and toiling peas
antry, brought forth thousands Of
great organizers Of socialist produc-
ton who succeeded in short time
in mastering the secrets" of tech
niQues, management and organiza-
ton; it also produced tens of thou
sands Of inventors, hundreds of thou
hands Of rationalizing suggestions,
saving the state many billions in
money and energy.
The Greatest Revolution
The shock brigade movement and
socialist competition are the express
sion of a revolution characterized by
Lenin and more difficult, more es-
sential, more radical and more de-
cisive than the overthrow of the
bourgeoisie, "for this is triumph
over our own backwardness, laxity
and petty-bourgeois egotism, over the
habits left as a legacy of accused
capitalism to the workers and peas
ants"
Socialism as the first stage Of
Communism has become invincible
due to the triumphs Of the first Five
Year Plan. This struggle of the pro-
letariat is inevitably encountering the
desperate resistance of the dying
classes and all the elements Of decay
Of the former society. The second
five-year program calls the shock
workers Of city and village to fight
the enemies of socialist production
| the remnants of capitalist elements
and their influence, everybody who
tries to corrupt the labor discipline
of socialist production, to Illustrate
the Bolshevist tempoes and dissolve
the collective farms which are the
basic support of socialist reconstruc-
ton of peasant economy and the re-
education of the collective farmers
The growth and strengthening Of the
shock workers, a. new wave Of social
LIST competition-such is the fighting
response of the toilers of the Soviet
Union to the slogans Of the second
Five Plan. This reply expresses
the deepest devotion of the toilers to
the Communist Party, its feminist
Central Committee and to Comrade
Stain, leader of the world prole-
tariat."
