SET Up new
CENTRALIZED
NRA MACHINE
Gives Roosevelt More
Power to Crush Fight
Against NRA Codes

DAILY Worker Bureau, Washington
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec.
6.-President Roosevelt is Or
ganizing a National Emergency
Council that will spread SUBJ
ordinate councils throughout
each of the 5000 odd counties
of the United States to supply in
formation to citizens and corporations
on new deal agencies.
1t was emphasized today in the
White House circles that the effort
is not to propagandize but to clear
up confusion as to how individuals
and corporations may benefit from
new agencies such as Federal Relief,
the N.R.A., and the A.A.A. 1t was
said that much unavoidable confusion
has existed, giving rise to problems
which could be solved if every one
understood just whst agencies exist
and how they function.
National Emergency Council mem
bers will include the heads of Fed
eral Relief, the A. A. A., the Farm
Credit Administration, the Home
Owners Loan Corporation and Sec
retaries Of Interior, Agriculture, Com
merce and Labor. Under this coun-
Gil, state directors and county emer-
gency councils will be set up.
Whether they will be paid with
Federal funds has not been deter
mined, but apparently there is money
to supply if necessary. 1t is expected,
however, that many local council Of
ficials will serve on a volunteer basis.
Obviously this new set up will ex-
tend the nationwide new deal bu-
reaucracy which already constitutes
a powerful political machine domi-
mated by Roosevelt.
The creation of this new Emer-
gency Council by the Roosevelt
government to coordinate the work
Of the various MIRA agencies means
that the Roosevelt government Is
Tightening still further its control of
the local and state government APP
paratus. 1t means that the Roo
sevelt government is moving ahead
to an ever greater cooperation with
monopoly capital for the stamping
out of all local unrest and resist
ance against the NRA codes. The
Capitalization of this apparatus to
break down opposition to the MIRA
codes is another step Of the Roo
sevelt government along the road
to increased Fascistization OF the
government.

Agreement

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 6.LThe ar
rest of two pickets yesterday on as
sault charges marked todays fight

The company has been stalling on
signing the agreement to recognize

mands of the strikers. Although YER
bal agreement has been reached on
many points the workers demand a
signed agreement and that all scabs
be dismissed by the company The
strike is solid, with girl strikers in
the forefront Of the fight on the pick
ct lines.
S.M.WL.U. Convention

groups, and opposition groups in the

possible base amongst the steel and

New York Workers
After Strike

NEW YORK-Free transportation

facilities would be provided were
made by the C.W-A. Previously the
men were forced to wait In the cold

POWER USE UP

August retail commercial power
sales, according to the Edison
Electric Institute, totaled 1914
1O4, 900 kilowatt hours, down 2-10
per cent from the 1892 figure
of 1,015,998,000. In July retail
commercial customers took 1913
2O8, 900 kilowatt hours. or $40
per cent more than in July, 1882.
the first upward trend in several
years.
Industrial Use Scars
Industrial demand for power
in August was the highest since
August, 1881, being 3,400,587 900
kilowatt hours, a gain of 30 per
cent over August, 1882, the largest
percentage increase since the up
ward trend in industrial output
started the end of April.
More electricity was generated
by water power in August this
year than in 1882. Of the total
electricity generated fuel supplied
SO per cent and water Al per cent,
while in 1882 81 per cent was
from water and SO per cent from
fuel.
The industry used less coal in
generating its current in August
this year, requiring only LAG
pounds for every kilowatt hour as
against 1.49 pounds in 1882.
More Used AS Rate Falls
While the average domestic GUS
toner used more electricity in
August this year, taking COL kilo-
watt hours as against SGT kilowatt
hours a year ago, his bill was
smaller because of lower rates.
The average monthly bill this
year was $2.77 as against $3.50
previously, while the average cost
per kilowatt hour to the domestic
customer was 5.54 cents as against
$50 cents in 1882.

Mexico Found Booming
Own Manufactures

and Germany are said now to be
events of the past.
Mexico, it is pointed out, Is
chiefly a source of raw materials.
Her agricultural production is
sufficient to supply the needs OF
100000 people, leaving a fair
margin of export. Mexico sup
plies Cuba and Spain with their
basic food, garbanzo, grown in
the states of Sonora and Sinaloa.
On account of the economic de-
preston in these two countries,
exports have decreased consider
ably in the past three years.
Now Exports Sugar
Approximately 100000 tons of
sugar are produced annually,
About 10000 tons have been ex-
ported in 1888. The Mexican gov
eminent has limited this pro-
duction to strictly necessary
needs. The FL Mantle sugar mill,
erected in 1881 at a cost of 3d.
$1,000, this year has produced
1O,OOU COAlS VI ouSoA nAAA OVO'VVO
liters of alcohol.
Two other important agricul-
tural products are henequen and
chicle. Mexico produces about IS
per cent of the white cloth used
in the country. Torreon is the
main cotton-producing cen t r.
Cottonseed is also largely used
in the production of oil for the
soap industry.
AS important as agriculture,
considering export commerce, is
the mining industry, the report
sayh. There is a great demand
for silver and lead, although ex-
ports have decreased considerably
on account of the world crisis.

Manufactures in Mexico are
developing under a policy of in
dustrial nationalism, which is
progressively excluding products
of other countries, according to
a report on commercial and in
dustrial conditions by the Next
can correspondent of industrial
and Engineering Chemistry, !"
journal of the American Chem
ical Society.
Thousands Of formerly i'm
ported commodities are now
manufactured in this country
by Mexico's nascent industry,
which employs Mexican laborers,
says the report. The new imml-
grafton laws require that 80 per
cent of the personnel in industry
must be Mexican citizens. For
eign technical men are allowed
to remain only short time TO
train the natives.
Rubber Industry Grows
The rubber industry has grown
in the past five years to such an
extent that the United States
has lost a large percentage of
its exports of rubber goods to
Mexico. Tires, rubber articles
and products derived from rub
Der are now largely manutac'

Imports of canned goods, iron
