We watched our. boss paste the new
schedule on the post near the dress
ing room, and when he finished, re-
mark, anyone not satisfied can go
up to the cashier and get his final
pay envelope No one answered.
That was the beginning of the
N. r. A.
The schedule pointed out that our
hours have been cut Instead of the
usual IL hours we will work only ten
hours-of course six days, and in line
with the new unemployment cam
peign another counterman is being
put to work-for five hours daily; an
other dishwasher-who will also as
sist the cook and a bus girl who
works split hours-five hours at
lunch and three hours at supper time.
No mention is made of the cellar
man, who works till he gets through
.(11-12 hours, seven days. and the
head counterman, who continues to
work IL hours.
Most of us are satisfied-two hours
less work daily, and perhaps on pay
day---
Meanwhile two hours less work and
nobody taking your place while you
have the two hours leisure. We be-
gan to feel the extra work. We have
the same amount of work to do in
two hours less-set the counters and
prepare for the rush hours-but still
we wait; the MIRA. says more pay,
and pay day is coming around.
The day arriyesjpa -day-and the
only ones to get an increase are the
bus and counter girls and dishwash-
.ers-and that's all. They get two dol
lars more, and now make the huge
sum Of $40 week.

The long -awaited American edition
of the Brown Book" which has set
all Europe by the ears, receiving full
page notices in practically every Eu-
ropean newspaper outside of Ger
many, and causing the Nazis to hast
EN- the publication of a Counter
Brown Book, is at last available in
the United States.
A concise analysis of the political
situation in Germany on the eve Of
the Reichstag fire is followed by a
detailed story of the Nazi machina-
lions to burn the Reichstag and
fasten the blame for the fire on the
Communist Party to generate the
pogrom atmosphere needed to sup
press the entire Communist move
ment in Germany.
The Brown Book" makes a thor
ough analysis of the whole Hitherto
case against the four Communist de-
PENDANTS now on trial for their lives
in Leipzig, and proves beyond the
faintest shadow of doubt that the
Communists on trial are wholly in
nocer1t, and-what is more-that the
Reichstag was set on fire by the lead
ers of the Nazi Party themselves.
In no one place has the authentic
account of the Nazi terror in Ger
many ever been given in as full and
damaging detail as in the just-issued
Brown Book" This incontrovertible
narrative, simply related, with the
naked facts allowed to speak for
themselves, will spike the Hitherto
propaganda in the United States
against "atrocity stories" for all time
to come.
The more than 200 pages describing
cases of murder, torture, beatings,
and intimidation, certified to by Lord
Marley, President of the World Com
mittee for the Victims of Hitler Fas-
cism, will furnish the workers of
America with endless material to re-
flute the Nazi lies being spread all
over the country by paid and unpaid
Hitler propagandists.
The Brown Book" is an invaluable
source-book on the terror regime in
Germany today. 1t should be on the
library shelves of every workers club,
and in the hands of as many work
ers as can afford the rather high
price-$2 SO.
The Brown Book" now available
in English, must become the trusty
intellectual weapon of every anti
Fascist in the United States. The
first edition is, understand, already
sold out in New York, but copies are
still on sale at the Workers Bookshop,
so E. 18th St, New York City.

covers a new, source of food
supply or invents a more
deadly type of poison gas.
But that's not so in Russia,
according to A. f. Shorin, chief re-
search scientist in the Soviet State
Electro Technical laboratories, who
sailed for home during the weekend
after two-month tour here.
In Russia the scientist cannot re-
main aloof from the social, economic
and political life about him because
every scientist there is not only a
creator but teacher. He has the
responsibility not merely of develop
ing technology and. exploiting ma
tural resources, but of teaching the
people the meaning Of each new dis
covery and of the old ones as well.
Science and the. 5-Year Plan
"Then of course, every scientist
must understand. the relation of sci
ence and his particular branch of it
to the Five-Year Plan, because in
Russia we don't believe in pure" sci
ence. We say. that science doesn't
exist unless it'has. practical applica-
tions and, of course, every practical
application that can be found for SCI
ence is used for the development Of
our economic life under the Five
Year Plan.
There is another reason, says Sho-
rim, why the Soviet scientist cannot
divorce himself from the everyday
realities which his work influences,
Scientists in Russia, he explains, are
in contact with the workers in the
industries with which their particu-
lar branch of science or technology
is connected. For instance" he says,
"automotive engineers take an active
part in the factory committees, trade
unions and cultural clubs of the auto
workers. The same is true Of metal
lurgists and iron miners. The same is
true of biologists and the workers
of the oil fields, and SO on" In addi-
ton, the scientists have their own
professional organizations and these
lead them to take as active part in
the political and social life of the
country as is, taken by any trade
union.
Soviet Advances in Science
Shorin, small, clean-liinbed, with
reddish hair and a delicately CHS
elled face which reflected every emo
ton aroused by reporters question
ing, spent his two months here at the
Century of Progress Exhibition IN the
laboratories of General Electric,
Westinghouse and in the studios and
control rooms of Radio City. He said,
before leaving, that he is greatly i'm
pressed with American technology.
But reporters who interviewed him
were quite as impressed by Soviet
advances in science, which he de-
scribed, particularly in the fields of
motion picture engineering, in which
Shorin is leader. They listened
eagerly, visibly impressed as he de-
scribed his machine for recording
sound on film which is a combina-
ton of two methods now used sepa-
rately in the United States. The ma
chine will be described in detail by

Only Acc. a Day for
Farmland in Georgia
(By a Worker Correspondent


MACON, Cattle Cotton Mills are
rnl-r working three days a week and
for five cents an hour at that, which is
about $3.50 a week.
The railroads laid off hundreds of
men here today.
The poor Negro is starving, but
you can't do anything with the Ne
gro until the whites begin to change
their attitude, and you know that
the law is bad here in this state on
free speech yet. OF course that can
be broken down if the people begin
to realize that things will never get
better, only worse.
The farm hand here is only getting
46 cents day, and of course you
know that he is about half starved
all of the time except when he steals
something to eat.
Iwould like to hear from you about
The NRA. The people are getting
sick of it here. They see that it
won't do them any good.

Singing PicketS
By Michael Gold

OIISI7lS l. LCkctS
The sky was cold and hopeless,
Our strike was low that day,
And fear marched with the pickets =
Yes, all the world was gray
In blouses bright as summer
Girls raised jolly song:
"The coward thugs are worried
Because our strike is strongw
Knowing the strike was weaker,
Knowing the thugs were bold,
We grudged our little sisters
The splendid lie they told
But as the girls paraded
The sky turned sudden blue
And all our hearts found courage
At last the song came true!
Girls! Garry on that music!
Sing till the Last Strikes won
Sing till this land of darkness
Flames with Soviet Sun!

COMMODITY INDEX CONTRACTS

Here is something modern in financial
deals. A real estate editor in the middle
West reports that in several cases coming
to his attention lately, property leases have
been based on the wholesale commodity
price index.
In one case, a lease providing for a
building rental of $4,000 a year contains
an option to purchase within three years
for 100000 "at the purchasing power of
. the dollar at the time the lease, or in
such number of dollars at the time of the
purchase as will have the purchasing
equivalent of that sum, based upon the
wholesale commodity index One real
estate man has been making similar leases
for two years. One such lease has this
clause:
The minimum rental herein reserved
for the term of the lease and for the option
term shall bear the same ratio to the whole
sale commodity price-average index as the
stipulated rental bears to the average index
number for December, 1882. The index
number here mentioned is the monthly
average index of the United States Bureau
of Labor Statistics"
These facts gain special interest from
recent intimations that the government SER
iously considers stabilizing the dollar in
terms of the cost of living, by adopting
price index dollar" based on revalued
gold dollar whose gold content would vary
with the commodity price level

SAFEGUARDED SAVINGS

A special investigating committee Of
the Association of Reserve City Bankers
has been studying the deposit insurance law
since its enactment last spring. The final
report urges cooperation with the tenn
porary deposit insurance plan and with the
RIGS proposal to strengthen the banking
structure through the injection of new
capital. Il maintains. however, that the
deposit insurance arrangement should be
only temporary.
1--WE conclude" says the chairman of
the committee, that the way to assure
bank depositors of true safety lies in so
improving the banking system that losses
to depositors cannot occur, rather than
adopting some plan of spreading Re losses
after they have occurred
1--WE believe that these are Du tenn
porary measures and that the real objective
is sounder banking system We join
heartily with the public il It's demand for
safety of bank deposits
The deposit insurance p1an looks good
to the public right now There will be no
objection to any real improvement in the
banking system which may be devised and
made effective. If the bankers who OBJ
ject to the deposit guarantee, on the ground
that it may injure sound banks by making
them share the losses of unsound banks,
will get busy and put over such banking re-
forms as will prevent losses and failures,
they will tino the public willing to cooper
ate. In the meantime, the public is glad
deposit insurance is so near.

A LENIENT WIFE

How much personal freedom hus-
band and wife should permit each other is
a question that has been the subject of
much discussion both in pubic and private.
tits suspected that a good many husbands
grant their wives as little liberty as pos
sible, while taking all they can get for
themselves. And in good many cases the
wife adopts similar attitude.
The grand prize for leniency to hus-
band, if such is entitled to prize, would
seem due to Mrs. Rhoda Hood of Louisville,
who gave her husband, James E. Hood, a
card signed by her reading as follows:
This is to certify that hereby permit
my husband TO go where he pleases and fur
thermore to enjoy the company of any lady
or ladies he sees fit, as know he is good
judge. want him to enjoy life while he
can, as know he is going to be dead a
long. long time"
Whether Mrs. Hoods attitude was a
wise enc is open to question, but it probably
saved a lot of argument. Her card of manu-
mission came to light when it was found
il Hoods pocket after he had been killed
by an automobile. while walking alone and
sober on Baltimore street.

The world is more populated
than it ever has been. Humanity
needs as much as it ever did. In
fact, today we consider as neces-
sites what were formerly re-
garded as Injuries. What is the
cause of there now being a de-
creased demand when the natural
tendency would seem to be
exactly the opposite? More peo-
Pile require more supplies and the
education of the people to q
higher standard of living intro
duces a demand for more expen-
sive goods. The cause is the re.
duced buying power of the peo-
pie, and there seems to be q
thousand schemes floating around
to remedy that.
The two things which viii dc
the most is to restore confidence
and to give capital a square dea
so it will, come out of hiding and
go to work. In spite of what we
may think of capital, it take:
money to make the wheels OF
business go round. The fellow;
who have money are scared and
won't put it to work until they
are satisfied that it won't be taken
away from them by taxes anC
they will have a chance to make
