plan. The capitalist class itself is
unable to act as unified class. 1t
is torn by various contending groups
and the only way one group can plan
is by destroying other groups This
has been the history of the trusts.
Capitalist planning after the war,
the introduction of various rationale
cation processes, carried out under
the slogan of scientific manage
ment,' was phase of the growth of
the productive forces, but it did
nothing to eliminate capitalist con-
tradictions and crisis. Precisely the
achievements of this kind of plan
ming brought the especially deep nat
ure of the present crisis.
Expose Pragmatism.
Planned economy is possible only
by the abolition of private property
in the means of production. The
best proof that capitalism cannot
plan is that now, in this emergency
situation, it is not planning. All the
evidence brought by Soule merely
proves the capacity OF the capitalists
to plan new attacks ON the working
class, but not way out of the crisis"
In conclusion Browder demon
strated that all Soule's ideas are ex-
pressions of pragmatism, what he
called, the typical philosophy of the
American bourgeoisie."
"This approach, he said, lis also
typical of the technoeratS. Pragma-
tism is the philosophy of the as
cendant bourgeoisie, but when the
bourgeoisie falls into a crisis, prag-
matism also falls into a crisis.
Pragmatism asks of everything the
question: does it workP And II we
ask the pragmatists the question
concerning capitalism: doe sit work.
we must say, no, it doesn't. But if
we ask concerning the dictatorship
of the Notwithstanding the
Soviet Union: does 1t work? we must
answer, yes, it does work.
"Pragmatism is now Of no use to
the capitalists, but 1t Is worse than
useless to the workers. Those who
want to control the future cannot
wait till the future has become the
past and they see it from behind, but
must be able to see into the future, to
know what it holds in store for them
and to participate actively in helping
to transform the future into the pre-
sent"
The capitalist press decided to
keep silent about this debate, fearing
to publish Browders exposure of cap
italists planning" Only the Daily
Worker prints this and many other
exposures of the bosses attacks on
the workers. Rush funds to save the

COUNTY ADMITS FOOD
RELIEF DISCRIMINATION

BELLINGHAM, Wash, 1t is re-
ported that an old man who used
to work for the Government in the
Forest Service became in need as
a result of unemployment.
The County Relief department
heard about it and because he had
some friends who were Influential"
some food was sent to him right
away. But some bacon which was
sent was plainly of inferior quality
and the old fellow kicked on it.
When the County heard about the
old fellow kicking about the bacon
they sent someone down there i'm
mediately to find out what was the
matter. The official soon learned
that the bacon was very poor and
replaced it by bringing some good
bacon.
AS the official made the change,
he stated that mistake had been
made in this case. He stated that
the bacon which had been sent to
him was what is supposed to be
given to those who do county relief
work. Thus admitting that there is
gross discrimination in the admins
tration of relief.

POLICE INTIMIDATION
ON RELIEF JOBS IN PA

PORTAGE, Pa.-FoFced labor is on
the increase in Cambria County.
More workers daily are added to the
many relief projects at 35 cents per
hour in groceries. The Unemployed
Council had its County Hunger
March in November TO Ehenshurg.
There was two hour fight with the
Commissioners that got two of its
leaders on the relief. Generally the
relief is not given to members of the
Communist Party or any other re-
yolutionary organizations.
But the police are always attempt
ing to terrorize the workers. On
Jan. 4, while was at work, PATROL
man Bender walked into the shoe
and clothing department. of the
Johnstown forced labor relief. He
knows me, SO he asked the other two
workers there if their name Is Tom
Rodgers. I told Bender my name
was Tom r. He said, come with me
and walked out. / sat on the table
where I was when he entered, and as
he got to the door, said come back
here. He didn't return, nor did I
follow as he commanded. So I sup
pose his mission was to make sure
and try to keep the other fellows in
fear of uniforms.-T.

few other departments began to line
up with the tool and die makers.
Result of Daily Activities
This strike which was organized as
q, result of the daily activities in the
shop-tnis strike which ended in
victory as result OF the proper or
gsniHatiensl conduct during the strike
and the building up of leadership
and initiative amongst the strikers
made it possible that the strikers
went back organized, feeling them
selves as part of the Auto Workers
Union, which is now being built in
the Briggs Manufacturing plants.
This strike is of tremendous i'm
portance, and further demonstrates
the Importance of organizing and
preparing the strike to the maximum
possible extent.
Jobless Gave Support
The Unemployed Council was in
Vited to elect a member for the gen.
eral strike committee and to mobilize
the Unemployed Councils to parti-
cipate in the picket lines. AS a re-
suit of the decision of the strike
committee, the Unemployed Council
joined into the strike activities on
the third day in the morning, and
became part of the picket line, work
ing shoulder to shoulder with the
strikers. The joining into the strike
of the unemployed workers under
the leadership of the Unemployed
Councils further electricified the
spirit and served as a tremendous
blow against the company and con-
cretely demonstrated the unity of the
employed and unemployed workers.
This victory against the 20 per cent
wage-cut is being discussed and
taken up in all the plants in the
auto industry in Detroit, and in all
working class neighborhoods where
automobile workers live.
This victory was q decisive step in
advance for the building up of the

My rent is SIS per month. I was
given slip which entitled me to
three days work at SO cents an hour,
hours day. This would total $12;
so you can see what way the balance
would be after have put on the best
pair Of stretchers I could find to pay
the rent.
Not realizing what kind of job
was being forced into I, with 20
others, went down into the sewer.
We were let down 65 feet through
man hole in the street by a cable
with one foot in rope loop hanging
onto the cable with our hands at
times spinning around like a top,
humping against the sides as we went
down. One old man over 60 years of
age became so dizzy his hands had
slipped down on the cable and was
just about to fall off when he reached
the bottom.
Just two nights before there was a
cave in right above, where several
men had been working with air
hammers cutting down the sand stone
and rock. So much of the rock and
dirt came down, that it broke thru
the floor over the sewer. The floor
consisting of planks inches thick,
buried the air hammers and tools.
This we were not told about before
we went down.
There are two shifts a day and a
night shift, I was on the night shift.
The hole, or cave, is lit by gas lamps
called lanterns. Pieces of dirt and
sandstone fall down continually. Any
worker who is not used to such work
is in dreadful fear of cavein every
moment. The air is very foul, There
were rats everywhere.
We were taken up at a. m, to eat
our lunch, that is, those of us who
had any to eat, it being to unsanitary
to eat in a sewer. Most of us felt
however that we would rather eat our
few bites of lunch where we were
than take chances on being raised
by such dangerous means of trans
portation.
There we're two or three bosses
over us all the time. If any one was
caught standing idle they were soon
given something to do. The work
consisted of shoveling sand and rocks
and pushing an extra large wheel
barrow t.fiH 4,4
The men all expressed their dis
satisfaction with the job which is
the worst form of forced labor. One
night was enough for me; so vent

Admit Growing r. r. Jobless
The legislative representative Of
the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, appearing after a number OF
textile manufacturers, admitted that
naturalization and speed-up TO-
gether with the crisis have reduced
the number of workers coming under
the jurisdiction of his organization in
what he called normal times" from
220, 900 to $4,000.
He said that trainmen must now
have more than twenty years service
to hold regular job, and that there
are many members of his organiza-
tien who have twenty two years Of
consecutive service ON the railways
that are unable to hold regular run
and are on the extra list. He sup
ported the Black Bill but stated that
he doubted its effectiveness in meet
ing present day conditions.
K. F. Stout, Legislative reprenta-
tive of the Brotherhood of Main
tenance of Way Employers, affiliated
to the A. F. of L., supported Green's
endorsement of the Black Bill. He
stated, however, that in normal times
100000 men come under the juris-
diction of his union but that today
there were only 100000 working.
Senator Black especially welcomes

ployers' associations supporting his
