BULLETIN

NEW YORk.-T0nigi1t, at
the St. Nicholas Arena, 66th
St. and Columbus Ave-, meet
ing to hear the reports of
the Albany Workers Confer
ence Delegates, action will be
started to rally workers, and
small depOsitOrs in a fight
against the bankers gold
grabbing onslaught. Mass
to the meeting!
WASHINGTON, March S..
There is going on conflict
between the smaller banking
combines of the interior and
the big combines dominated by
Wall Street in New York and
LaSalle st. in Chicago over the
question of issuing scrip.
The smaller banks fear that their
clearing house certificates scrip will
be beaten down and discounted and
that the scrip of the big banks in
the financial centers will become the
dominant means of circulation. IT Is
feared by the smaller robbers that
this device Of the big robbers viii
quickly wipe them out.
May Abandon Scrip Plans
To try to reconcile this conflict
and at the same time to carry out
the most rapid concentration Of fine
ancial power in the hands Of the big
fellows, the federal government is
considering the issuance Of from one
to two billion dollars in new federal
currency. Such an issue would have
the same inflationary results as scrip
and would result in further deStitu-
ton among the unemployed and part
time workers and impoverished farm
erS, as a result of price raises at the
same time that industry is approach~
ing a standstill and throwing adds
tional masses out Of work.
Unification of System
The Roosevelt administration is
proceeding to aid she big bankers
swallow up the little ones by propos-
ing a unified banking system that
will do away with the 40 state sys~
! TENS and the one national system
| This can be realized only through
placing all banking power in the
hands of the Wall Street and La
Sale Street gangs, with Roosevelt as
president acting to coordinate all
moves in that direction.

greatly during the past ten days. In addition,
$1,000 has been received il checks which can

WIRES PROTEST
Conference Demands
Action on 9 Bills

ALBANY, N. Y, March 8. - The
Workers Conference on Labor Legis-
lation, which has just concluded its
three-day session here, at its final
session yesterday sent a telegram to
Governor Lehman, LieutenantG Gov
ernor Bray and Speaker McGuiness
Of the state legislature, vigorously
protesting against the refusal to give
the delegates a hearing on their de-
nands, as had been promised. The
telegram also protested against the
mobilization of armed police who
refused to let the worker delegates
enter the capitol building.
The statement to the legislature,
drawn up Just before the march on
the capitol, demanded the enact
ment OF bills adopted by the con-
ference for state unemployment in
surance and immediate relief, a
minimum wage and maximum hours
bill, bills against eyictions and fore
closures, against inlsunctions and
child labor, for maternity benefits to
working women, for public works
construction program, and a bill tc
protect deposits of workers and small
depositors.
The bill for immediate relief de,
nands $40 week for each unem-
ployed couple, with So weekly TO
each dependent, 81 a day for singh
workers, and cash payment on re
lief jobs at prevailing trade uniol
rates.
The statement to the legislator
pledges the delegates to return T.
their organizations and to mobiliz
broad mass support that will compe
the legislature to enact the bills.

What Is the program of American
capitalism in the present crisis sit
uation? The growth of unemploy-
ment, the wage cuts the misery OF
the workers In the past years Of the
crisis will pale In comparison with
the present attacks on the whole
front against the standard of living
of the masses. The present financial
crisis means the sharpening of all
imperialist contradictions, and the
speeding up of war preparations.
In face of the growing unemploy-
ment, Ro. seyelt declared to the Gov
errors Conference that he does not
even contemplate In any shape Fed
eral relief, let alone the direct grant
ing of Unemployment Insurance. The
staggered workers who received num-
erous wage cuts will not even receive
their wages in regular currency, but
in devaluated currency, or paper
scrip. The charity rations for the
starving unemployed will be handed
out in the same way. The employed
workers in addition to indirect wage
cuts through the devaluated currency
or paper scrip will get additional dir
ect wage cuts. Unemployed workers,
while being denied unemployment in
surance will even have their meager
charity relief rations cut. Initiation
will raise the cost of living, still fur
ther cutting the wages of the stag
gered workers and the starvation ra-
tions Of charity. The veterans are
being denied their pensions and bon
us. The attack on the working class
is all along the whole front. Workers,
the petty bourgeois, intellectuals, who
have after years OF hard toll accp-

Need for Increase Of
Mass Protest

SCOTTSBORO, Ala, March
s. -- The new trials of the
Scottsb0rO boys have been set
for March IL in Decatur, the
seat of Morgan County, Ala
bama, under the decision of
Judge A. E. Hawkins granting
the motion of the International
Labor Defense for a change Of venue
from Scottsboro. Forced to grant a
change Of venue by reason of the
worldwide mass fight for the Scots
boro boys, Judge Hawkins at the
same time rejected the defense pro-
posal that the trials be moved to
Birmingham, an industrial center
with a large white and Negro prole-
tartan poulation. The new trials are
to be heIl before Judge Horton, Of
Athens, Ria.
Glklb luz IOCo Oh
Judge Hawkins, refused to rule on
a motion by the defense for the
ouashing of the indictments against
the boys. The defense based its mo-
ton on the ground that the Sonsti-
tutional rights Of the boys and OF
the Negro People had been violated
by the exclusion of Negroes from the
grand jury which indicted the boys
and from the petit jury which de-
creed their electrocution. The de-
tense proved that exclusion of Ne
groes from juries was habitual. The
I. L. D. attorneys will demand a rui-
ing from Judge Horton, the new trial
judge, on this motion.
Create Lynch Spirit.
AS at the original trials, the town
of Scottsboro was filled with a lynch
crowd for the hearing, following a
yelled invitation issued by the Jack
son Sentinel, organ of the Scots
boro lynchers. Many shot guns were
in evidence. Negroes were intlmi-
dated from attending the hearing. A
reporter from an Atlanta newspaper
was driven out of town because he
asked too many questions OF Negroes.
The jury of IL bewiskered, backward
mountaineers, their minds filled with
boss poison of race hatred, glared at
the defense attorneys and the re-
porters and visitors from New York.
The boys were represented by Gen.
George w. Chanlee of Chattanooga,
Tenn, Irving Schwab and Carol
King of New York City.

Statement of Central Committee,
Communist Party, u. s. A.

THE present nation wide growing
financial collapse brings into the
ciearest relief all the features OF the
downward swing of capitalism, and
the steady deepening of the economic
crisis Entering the fourth year OF
the crisis, capitalism sinks deeper
into the maze of its own contradict
tons The measures undertaken by
the ruling class since the outbreak OF
the crisis, as the firing of millions OF
workers, staggering OF the employed
workers, continuous wage cuts, the
whole system of tariff walls, growth
OF armament expenditures, all these
have only deepened the crisis and in
creased the misery Of the workers.
Big Production Drop.
The drop in production has been
catastrophe. In the basic industries
production has sunk to the 10 CEN
fury level. The present financial
crisis has already resulted In an even
further curtailment Of production.
The present army Of unemployed, al
ready over 16,000,00 workers, Is daily
growing larger. The currency crisis,
growing out of the crisis development
since the outbreak of the stock ex-
change crash, is shaking the entire
social structure of American capitol
ism to its very foundations.
The crisis In the government fin
ances is being aggravated by the pre-
sent financial situation. The deficit
of the government, created by the
pumping Of millions of dollars
