WILCOX PRESENTS
BEER BILL" AT
SPECIAL SESSION
MEASURE CALLS FOR LEGAL.
ZATIoN OF BEVERAGE OF
80 PERCENT ALCOHOL BY
WEIGHT; 40 VOLUME
by PAUL MAY
Special Washington Correspondent
of The Citizen


Special Washington Correspondent
OF The Citizen
WASHINGTON, March 10
Fulfilling his camapign promise,
Congressman Mark Wilcox was
one of the first to introduce a
"beer bill" in the special session
of congress.
Congressman Wilcox's bill calls
for legalization of beer containing
3.2 percent alcohol by weight or
four percent by volume.
1t was said that this is the
strongest beer which congress
could authorize under the consti-
tuition. This was brought out by
the ways and means committee
last session when it decided that
any higher content would be in
toxicating.
1t is doubtful, however, if any
action will be taken on any beer
bill at the present time, at least
until the financial crisis has been
taken care of.

PROPERTY DAMAGE
STILL MOUNTS

LOS ANGELES, March Is.
After a weekend of ter
ror, shattered Southern Cali
fornia cities today counted
the loss of life from a de-
vastating series of earth
quakes at liz and property
damage near the 10000
600 mark.
As agencies of reconstruc-
ton set in motion fear large
ly dissipated through grow
ing infrequency of shocks.
Officials estimated there
were about 1000 in hos
pitfalls and 1000 others prob
ably received emergency
treatment. Nearly a score
was missing.
In piles of wreckagc
searchers believed other
bodies lay.
A ray of hope that the
seriousness of the disaster
will not be increased by
spread of disease, was seen
as the day passed without
the presence of disease.
In the meantime recon
struction work was getting
into full swing.

Not Always Exchangeable
While gold may serve as a
measuring stick, it may not be al
ways exchangeable for money. In
Germany, for instance, the cur
rency may not be turned into gold,
yet it. is defined as equal to a
specified weight of gold. Germany
will ship gold to other countries
only when it is decided to be alb
solutely necessary by the central
bank. Many countries are now
using gold on this basis.
Before the depression nearly all
countries were on the gold stand
ard without restrictions. But when
the people at home and when 9TH
er nations suddenly desired that
the money owed should be turned
into gold the governments were
forced to declare restrictions to
protect their gold supplies.
The United States has $4,000
100000 in gold-but at the time
the bank holiday was ordered
there was some $6,00O,O00,0O0 or
81, 900, 100000 in money in circu-
lation and some $40,000,000, 900
in bank deposits. 1t would be i'm
possible to turn all of this into
gold.

MattheWWOlIMOveS
to Smash Strike Of
ALL. Bakery Men
Worked With Whalen
to Obtain Anti icket
injunction


NEW YORK. Matthew VOL, A. F..
of L. president member of the
MIRA arbitration board, together with
Mrs. Fillmore Moorehouse Herrick,
wife Of a capitalist, are trying to get
the 1000 bakery workers against
whom a no-picket injunction has
been issued, to return to work.
VOL has worked with Whalen in
the action against the shoe pickets
that led to their arrest and later to
the issuing of an injunction against
the A. F. of L. bakery union.
The bakers are determined to
smash the injunction and to win
their strike against wage cuts. Vol
and Mrs. Herrick want to break the
strike.
The sweeping injunction issued by
Judge Strong against the bakers
union quoted the NRA and declared
all picketing public nuisance"
The Bakery and Confectionery
Workers Industrial Union is plan
ming to hold a public mass demon
stration against the injunction and
to rally workers for mass picketing
in order to fight for the right to
strike and picket.

ton of Dudley Gates, assistant to

err. More designations are reported
to come soon.
To show there were no breeches
between him and Mr.. Gates, General
johnson issued public statement
praising the resigning MIRA member
for his loyalty to the Roosevelt pro-
gram.
Gates is for pursuing the policy
Of Whalen, for the open use of the
MIRA to build company unions, for
the smashing of independent labor
unions, for complete outlawing of
strikes and the use of direct force
to back up this order. While Gates

Strike Of Bargers
in St. Louis Ties
Up River Traffic
M.W.I.U. Leads 900 in
Fight Against U. S.
Exploitation

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. IA
strike of 900 bargemen here last
Wednesday has practically tied up
all shipping on the Mississippi River
from this point.
The men, mostly Negroes, rebelled
against their exploitation at the
hands of the government employers.
Not only were they paid starvation
wages of 20 cents an hour but were
forced to wait hours at time on
the docks for the barges to come in.
Finally conditions became unbear-
able and the workers, following the
leadership Of the Marine Workers
Industrial Union, organized strike.
No sooner had the st. Louis
bargemen walked out, vixen they
were followed by the longshoremen
of East St. Louis and Cairo, Ill.
Workers sent from the City We'll
fare and other charity rackets re-
fused to scab when they learned of
the strike and demanded the return
of their job fee.
The dockmen are 100 per cent
united on the demands fdr a 40
hour week, As cents an hour with a
minimum weekly wage of S18, and
recognition of the Marine Workers
Industrial Union, and are calling on
all workers to support their fight.

In other words, after the codes
are passed the workers are supposed
to submit under government order
and threat of force.
He then set out his Fascist plan
of organization to maintain the
proper balance" of labor land the
rights of capital" He says:
1.-THE industry, therefore, should be
the unit in establishing the field OF
collective bargaining or united ac-
ton of labor and management under
adequate government sanction and
supervision
This means vertical union in
each industry, free of domination or
control either by employers or out
side labor leaders"
In short, company union under
the control of the capitalist dicta-
torship, forcing the workers to bar
gain and smashing their right to
strike in order not to upset the bal
ance" under the MIRA
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-09-02

using these measures, he feared that
slow action would lead to "a ma
tional crisis"
In a statement issues Gates comes
out for the organization of labor on
the fascist plan of Mussolini.
He said the most important Sec
ton of the MIRA is that part reading:
ITO influence and maintain &C
ton of labor and management I'M
der government sanction and super
vision"
He pointed out that the present
organizations Of the workers them
selves were rendered entirely super
fluous and harmful to the carrying
out of the NRA, saying:
with the government committed
under MIRA to the policy of requiring
payment of living wages by industry
as condition of continued existence,
the field of negotiation between
groups of employers and employees
is substantially narrowed

NorWalk Tire Chief
Staggers Workers
to Cut Relief
(By a Worker Corresponednt)


SOUTH NORWALK, Conn.-We
have here a corset shop, called the
R. & G. 1t was one of the first to
put out the Blue Eagle and adver-
tised for help by saying they were
putting on new workers, and that
they could earn SIG or $18 a week.
When former worker applied
for work she was told she would
have to start at SO a week for six
weeks and after that she would get
S12 if she earned it at their piece
work rate. Although she had worked
here for three years on the same
job previously, she was still called
a learner when she was taken back.
In "Norwalk Tire" the wages are
anywhere from Sc, So, $11, etc, de-
pending on how much staggered
time they got. Mr.. Whitehead, the
President, is being boosted as the
Republican Mayor: He is also in
charge of the relief work in the city
and the Community Chest Drive so
we can see why he favored the NRA,
Roosevelt's stagger plan. He wants
to get men off the City Relief and
put the burden on the employed
workers.
When the NRA plan was origin
ated he announced his shop would
work four shifts, six hours a shift.
After a few weeks work some were
getting three hours a night four
hours, and some had to be satisfied
with nothing.
We find Mr.. Cavanaugh, the Pre-
sident of the Cavanaugh & Dolls
Hat Shop, called to Washington to
work on Roosevelt's Hat code. This
same Cavanaugh was respon-
sible for breaking the Hat
ters' Union around Norwalk and
Danbury. He also made it plain he
did not want his shop unionized,
and when he found out an electri-
eian that he put on belonged to a
union he had him discharged. So
this is the type that is helping the

Green Raises Smoke
Screen on His OK of
Open Shop Clause
Had Given Approval
to Fascist Auto
Code

WASHINGTON, Sept. William
Green, in a statement issued yester-
day, is trying to put smoke screen
to his previous support of the open
shop clause of the auto code.
In the statement just issued Green
says that the open shop clause
(Which he approved providing for
hiring and firing on Individual
merit" is counting disaster"
The auto code was written secretly
by General johnson and the auto
bosses in Detroit. 1t was submitted
to the Labor Advisory Board. After
few grumblings, Green signed a
statement agreeing to permit the
open shop clause in the auto code
providing it was not made prece-
dent"
AS the Daily Worker pointed out
at the time, Green knew that by put
ting the open shop clause into one
code, it would apply to all codes.
Every new code handed in now con-
tains the exact words that Green as
we'll as John L. Lewis OK'd. The
auto code was signed by President
Roosevelt.

at 612 River st. and the United Piece
DYE Workers at 40 Third Avenue in
Passaic to discuss strike preparations
and set date for a strike under the
leadership of the National Textile
Workers Union. 1t is anticipated
that the workers in the whole dye in
dustry here will join the big general
strike. TOO workers are said to be
out in Scranton in addition to the
mills in Stroudsberg and Shamokin.
At the same time leaders Of the
Associated Silk Workers are definitely
moving in the direction Of arbitra-
ton under the National Labor Board
In a statement today, Schweitzer,
the Associated Unions secretary pre-
tended to oppose arbitration but actu-
ally invited it by offering to sit in at
meetings with the NRA. He said:
"If they wanted to arbitrate why
didn't they do 1t two or three days
ago. The situation is now out Of
our hands. The implication Is that
Schweitzer would have stopped the
strike if the National Labor Board
had only been a little more speedy IN
coming into the situation.
The officials Of the Associated to-
day denied committee of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union who
came to demand united strike and
a united strike committee permission
to speak to the strikers. They refer,
red the committee to the strike COM
nlittee. At the same time the policy
of excluding National members from
the strike committee is being pursued
by the Associated officials. A shop
chairman Of the Eureka shop elected
by members Of both unions was pre-
vented from serving on the striks
committee on the ground that he
was a member Of the National Tex-
tile Union. Others have also been or
dered off the committee.
The National Union has Issued q
leaflet to the strikers demanding
that all striking shops be represented
on the strike committee and that no
settlement be effected without taas
approval Of the strikers.
The United Twisters Club and the
Independent Wrappers League have
also sent committees to the Associ-
ated asking for unity In the Strike.

of the Workers Ex-Servicemen's

Gil, of which I am a member. They

John participated in the Meuse-
Argonne offensive and knows what
fighting is. And the workers OF
Staten Island appreciate and trust
an honest fighter. In fact, John is
SO well liked that the workers of
Richmond have nominated him for
sheriff. John accepted on one con-
dition, that they and he would sup
port the Communist Party as the
only one hundred per cent American
workers Party.
