Many Fired, Few
Retired, But Press
Halls End Of Crisis
BY a Packing House Worker
Correspondent

ST, LOUIS, Mo.-A few weeks ago
in July the entire Kansas City press
went on campaign to figure out
the effect the N.R.A would have on
the unemployment situation in this
city and they came to unanimous
conclusion that unemployment
would practically be abolished"
After the first week of August, the
press came cut heralding the return
of prosperity; the Armour Packing
Co. had hired 40 during the week of
August 1,
Firstly, for Armour's to hire 40 is
part of the usual run. However, our
dear hunters for the truth" forgot
that Armours had laid off $50 men
The recent hiring for the purpose
of killing the young hogs to raise the
market, was also brought out as a
sign of the end of depression. These
pigs were to be stored and given to
the unemployed, during the winter,
according to Roosevelt, yet about 80
per cent of them were tanked.
The speed UP in a great many de-
partments has already increased.
The rise in wages that was brought
about merely balances the cut in
hours in most cases and in none
does it provide for the tremendous
rise in prices.

in Buffalo,, in McKeeS Rocks, il
Cleveland, had shown by example
that it is possible now to strike ant
win substantial wage increases also
in the steel industry. But the leaders
of the A. F. of L. signed away this
movement to the Steel Corporation
and the MIRA.
Clearly, the opportunity in the
steel industry was grasped by the
steel trust, with the help of the A.
F. of l.. to prevent either a wage
increase or a strike movement.
Sin the automobile industry, MIR.
Green put the name of the A. F,
of l.. to the Roosevelt code which
gives government approval to the
open shop"
Truly, this was a wonderful COP
portunity"-@but for General Motors,
and especially for Henry Ford, who
gets all the benefits without even
signing the code, and for the whole
open shop" movement of the. Cham
Der of Commerce of the U. 8.
Or take the coal code. 1t is not
even adopted, after months of Jock
eying about, but already 1t effective
ly was used to choke the strike of
$4,000 Pennsylvania miners, and
actually prevent even such wage in
creases as the workers are winning
by their own actions In other in
dustries under the pressure of ris-
ing prices. s4''
The coal code was thus also an
opportunity the coal barons to
stifle the fighting movement Of the
miners.
Or looking at smaller but equally
Illuminating example: The Radio
and Television Workers of Phila-
delphia seized the Opportunity" to
organize into the A. F. of L. In Fed
eral Labor Unions No. 1888 and
1859. Mr.. VIM. Green used the "op-
portunity" personally to supervise the
negotiation of a contract" with tff
employers, establishing their rigHi
to collective bargaining" with thk
personal collaboration of General
Hugh Johnson. This wonderful con-
tract also deals with wages. To OBJ
tain an increase? No, no, not at
all! On the contrary, to guarantee
to the employers that the workers
will not demand any increase! The
contract declares that the unions:
will not demand an increase over
present scale of wage rates unless
such increased rates are incorporated
in the MIRA code for the radio in
dustry accepted and approved by
the President of the United States
Yes, indeed, this was a wonder
full "opportunity"-for the radio en-
ployers to secure the A. F. of L. guar
antee that the MIRA minimum" code
shall also be in reality the maxi
mum, wit h out any inconvenien'
strikes by the workersl
And If the workers go on STRIKE
anyway? Then the MIRA also gives
great "opportunity"-for the capt.
talists to fight the strike with ma
terial and moral support from the
government from the A. F. of L.
and also from the Socialist Party
leader, Norman Thomas, has declared
that, in view of the new deal" and
the MIRA, '''This is not the time to
strike"
Truly, the MIRA creates many 4op-
portunities for the capitalists

THE AIMS OF THE UNEMPLOYED
COUNCILS

The AIMS OF HE UNEMPLOIED
COUNCILS
@ Topeka, Kan.
Comrade Editor:
Would you please furnish me in
formation as to the aims and objects
of the Unemployed Councils and
their plan of organization. We have
here in Topeka about 5000 unem-
ployed, with bu 'makeshift" organ
ization. What little relief they have
been receiving is gradually being TAX
en- away. They are beginning to feel
the need for. mass action. Any in
formation will be appreciated.
Yours for action,
Editors Note: We have asked
Comrade L.-Amter, general secre-
tary of the Unemployed Councils,
to furnish. the reply. He writes as
follows:
The central aim of the Unemployed
Councils is TO carry on fight for the
adoption by. the United States Con-
gress of the Workers Unemployment
and Social Insurance Bill. This bill
calls for unemployment and social
insurance protecting all workers who
are unable to or deprived Of the right
to work, whether for unemployment,
part-time work, sickness, accident, old
age or maternity. The funds are to
be raised at the expense Of the gov
eminent and the employers exclu-
sively and to be administered by
commissions elected by the workers.
Until such time as this bill is
adopted. the Unemployed Councils
are organizing the workers on the
basis Of the United Front" for the
struggle for adequate relief, against
forced labor, against evictions, for
free light, gas and water for the IN
employed, for food, clothing, etc., for
the children, against discrimination
against Negroes and foreign born
workers.
This work is carried on by mobili-
cation of the workers in the neigh
borho0ds, unions, fraternal lodges,
ETC., building powerful united front,
which at the relief bureaus, city halls,
etc, forces the authorities to grant
the demands of the unemployed.
The results of these struggles have
been that where there is q fighting
Unemployed Council the standard Of
relief is higher than where there is
none. But the Unemployed Councils
are not satisfied and therefore put
forward as the central demand I'm
employment and Social Insurance.
This entails a continual struggle, in
which the Unemployed Councils are
taking the lead in all parts of the
country, uniting the unemployed and
employed on this decentralization.

Tin Workers to organize these de-
partmentS. 1t is clear that the COM
pany intends to use the A. F. of l..
leaders to smash the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union. The
workers are being put on their guard
against the treachery of the company
officials, the forenlen and the Anal
gamated leaders. Every effort is
being made by the company to rob
the workers of every gain and to
strangle the workers and to enslave
them through the help of the A. F.
of L. leaders.
The workers, who are organizing
into the Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, may do
we'll to take into serious conSidera-
ton the treacherous and shameful
betrayal OF the steel workers during
the great steel strike, led militantly
by Comrade Foster and by the or
ganizers Of this very organization.
It may be we'll to recall again the
refusal of the A. F. of L. to organize
the steel industry since the infamous
sell-out in 1919, the open support of
the starvation minimum wages of the
steel code submitted by the steel mag
mates
It may be we'll also to remember
that the A F. of L. leaders are cal
ling for class peace" in the pursuance
CT the policy of mo strike and no
struggle" The honorable Mr.. john
stone of the Central Labor Council
of Buffalo stated, I'VE are absolutely
against strikes and shall go to the
limit to prevent them" The same
Mr. tombstone has expelled hun
dredS of A. F. of L. members from
the unions for non-payment Of dues.
The Steel and Metal Workers IN
dustrial Union has won many de-
mands of the steel and metal workers.
It's record is a record of persistent
and militant struggle for the inter-
ests of all steel and metal workers.
Every steel and metal worker should
join up with this union, because it
is the only really class struggle union
that is fighting for the steel and
metal workers irrespective of color,
nationality, religious or political be-
lief
The most important and immediate
task of the Steel and Metal Workers
Industrial Union in the Wickwire
plant is to Immediately extend a
special invitation to the workers in
the departments that are being ap-
preached by the Amalgamated As
ISOLATION of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers is to develop united front
struggles under the leadership of the

Union.

Pig Destruction
Brings Sanitation
Problem in Chicago
tBy a Worker Correspondent

N6g q ftui
CHICAGO, Ill.-Since the govern
ment put bonus on pigs under 100
pounds and piggy sows, the markets
of the Middle West have been glut-
ted with pigs. The most of these
pigs are bing converted into lard
and fertilizer. Those above 80 pounds
are held for export" According to
a statement by Ludo C. Pickett,
termed "paymaster," there will be
no pigs or products of pigs used to
compete with the domestic" supply.
In other words, it does not matter
how many workers are starving
within few blocks of where tons
and tons Of good food is being de-
stroyed, none of the food will be
diverted for the purpose of main
tanning life.
On the other hand, in the words
of Mr.. Pickett, AS q matter of fact
the A. A. A. agricultural adjustment
administration regards it as more
important to the success of the pork
price project that sows narrowing
pigs shortly be sold now than the
little pigs"
The cause of Mr. Pickett's remark
is the fact that the farmers are NOT
sending their piggy sows to market.
They are holding the sows for the
pigs that will be ready for market
next year, when. as they correctly
realize, there will be "still too many
pigs" and the government will have
to destroy them.
Another side of the picture is the
difficulty the government is run
ming into with the fertilizer made
from the pigs. 1t is causing a sani-
tation problem in Chicago, and will
cause market problem" all over
So, it Is mad chase of a mad
and decaying system for a way out.
Too many unenployed-too many
pigs-too many farms. And now
too much fertilizer!
The unemployed workers who have
produced this surplus" must de-
mand the use of these foods by de-
manding unemployment insurance
and putting up struggle against
forced labor.

Heat fat about size of egg in large
skillet, tipping so that sides are
creased Add a finely chopped onion
to potatoes if you like, and salt and
paper, and mix.
Turn potatoes into hot skillet, tap
down lightly with knife or spoon,
clearing from sides of pan, so it
makes one large cake. Brown over
slow fire, turning pan if flame is un-
even. Don't stir while browning!
When partly finished, moisten with
or tablespoons of hot juice from
cabbage soup. Dig up a bit from
bottom to see when brown enough.
Shuttle pan occasionally to keep
from sticking, adding a bit of fat if
necessary. When there is nice
brown crust over the bottom, fold
over half the potatoes so you have a
fat oval cake in half the pan. Tip
out on platter. 1 am very proud of
these potatoes; they are so good!
Everyone always likes them.
Tonight wash some prunes and let
stand in cold water for tomorrow;
allow about or 5 to each person.
Save also little silver of the lemon
that you use for the soup.

and proclaimed again by big poll
ticians, this still doesn't give the
workers anything they didn't have
before. 1t is still only a law, worth
not one cent more or less thar
previous laws.
Do you remember the War Labor
Board, under President Wilson? Dc
you remember how it worked tc
strangle the strike movements OF
i918-1919, and hold down wage
rates? Perhaps won do not remem-
Der that it conducted its work under
declaration of government policy
stated in almost exactly the same
words as section of the N.R.A. The
War Labor Board declared:
THE right of workers to Or
ganize in trade unions and to bar
gain collectively through chosen
representatives is recognized and
affirmed. This right shall not be
denied, abridged, or interfered with
by the employers in any manner
whatsoever"
What was this worth to the work
ers? Just exactly nothing. Under ii
they had the rights they always had
to organize and defeat their enemies
if they could, the right to take what
they were able to get with their own
power. Strikes were prevented or
strangled by arbitration" Under
this declaration the steel workers
for the first time in history, organ
lied and went on strike to enforce
the collective bargaining" guaran-
teed by the War Labor Board. But
the U. S. Steel Corporation denied,
abridged and interfered with" their
rights, fired the workers who joined
the union, and broke their strike
with armed force, both with private
police and government forces. No
one ever heard of Judge Gary, the
president of the Steel Trust, being
arrested and tried for this crime
against the law. But thousands of
workers were jailed, and many
killed, for trying to get these rights
guaranteed by law
The same thing is being repeated
today.
The N. R. A. grants" the rights
which the workers already have, in
order to establish control over their
organizations, tie them up in "arbi-
tration," squeeze out or crush the
militant trade unions, and in general
to prevent strike movements by all
possible means.
"But the NRA has given the op-
portunity for organization, which
the workers can take advantage of
by organizing into the American
Federation of Labor. VIM. Green
is even on the National Labor
Board. Give 1t credit for that
much" Thus pleads the advocate
of the NRA.
What is this Opportunity" whose
is it, and how has it been used?
These are interesting questions.
The A. F. of L. officials had the
opportunity to help work out the in
dustrial codes before Roosevelt signed
them. How did VIM. Green utilize
this opportunity"
How Does 1t Really Work
Green and his A. F. of L. fellow
bureaucrats signed a steel code, which
fixed the existing wage scales and
hours of labor as the legally-ap-
proved ones without any change
whatever. This was done at a mo-
ment when steel workers themselves,

is fine. The union is a great union.
1t is square and hides nothing from
us. Its main object is TO win the
strike, and not grab, grab, grab dues,
like the Boot and Shoe did.
The other shops here in Long Is
land are also strong. I. Miller the key
shop in the industry, is almost all
down. The same with Premier. Five
Star is shut down completely. Miller
is not getting scabs, he found them
expensive all right last year He
thinks his workers are going to be
forced back, but he's wrong. In order
to do that, none of us must shirk
All of us must picket and collect re-
lief. And we mustn't listen to the
red scare which only the stoolpigeons
and the bosses are playing up We
can learn who our enemies are with
out their help or in spite Of it,

Window Cleaner
Describes Tactics
of ALL Burocrats
BY a Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK; am window
cleaner. rank and file Though not a
member of the Communist Party l
am member of an opposition group
which is attempting to overthrow the
demagogic, racketeering domination
of the industry by the A. r. of L. To-
cal leadership.
Window cleaning union agreements
expire at this period, and talk of a
strike has filled the air. Paul Krat,
secretary; William Carlin, lawyer,
and the stoolpigeon Executive Board
of Local No. 2, A. F. of L., have called
meeting to discuss a strike I quote
from their letter calling this meet
ing:
mo one will be admitted who does
not have the union card. d. Final in
structions will be given as to how the
strike will be conducted. Re-
freshmentS will be served. All
members must pay up unpaid dues
and assessments, as funds are needed
for the strike"
We who understand their dirty
n1anipulations expect that at this
meeting the bosses offers, arrived at
in closed sessions with union Off
Gals, will be reported and supported,
and that the window cleaners will
be advised to accept without struggle.
The above quotations give suffi-
cient indication of their intentions.
All window cleaners, all workers,
should see that it is criminal to an
nounce blandly that instructions
will be given"
We are striving to avoid this by
wrestling control of the union from
their hands, and supplanting it with
rank and file control, for the inter
estS of all workers.
