bosses has taken sharp leap up
ward!
Notice that since March of this
year, the line of production per work
er has leaped up as if galvanized by
electric shock, while the wages paid
to the workers has Jagged far, far
behind.
How was this done? 1t was done
by the speed-up introduced under the
NRA. In the textile industry, for ex-
ample, every worker has to tend more
spindles now than ever before. Faster
work-more intensified work-that is
how the bosses get more out of each
worker under the Roosevelt codes.
But this does not tell the whole
story.
Actually the workers have received
not wage rise-but wage cut
during this time.
For while wages advanced to 10 per
cent, food and clothing prices leaped
10 to 20 per cent since Roosevelt took
officel
So the real picture shows increased
robbery and declining wages since
Roosevelt took Office with his New
Deal"
That is what the MIRA has done
to the workers. 1t has permitted the
bosses to grind more out of the
workers while it has driven them be-
low the Hoover standard of living.

Wagner Fears Rise
in Strikes; Asks
Workers to Submit

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Admit-
ting that strikes were increasing, es-
pecially against the results of the
MIRA for the workers, Senator Wag-
ner on Saturday, at a special press
ference, appealed to the workers
not to strike, but to submit their
grievances to the NRA National La
Dor Board. Wagner has close per-
sonal ties with the A. F. of L. leaders
Wagner was confronted especially
with the Flint, Michigan, strike OF
die and tool makers, and the strike
of $500 Westinghouse Electric Co.
workers.
In both cases, the workers were
fighting against low wages of the
MIRA codes, and demanding higher
wages.
When the A. F. of l.. officials failed
to stop the strikes, Wagner stepped
in asking the workers to submit their
grievances to the strikebreaking Labor
Board
In order to appear as "a friend of
labor" Wagner said, eve have no
desire to prevent the workers from
using the weapon of strike if no other
method is open"
But he told the workers "the strike
should be the last resort, not the
first"
Reports in Washington show that
strikes are increasing rapidly, with
workers complaining that the codes
are cutting wages instead of in
creasing them as promised Failing
to gain anything through negotia-
lions, where in many cases workers
are fired, the workers are resorting
to the most powerful weapon to win
their demands, the strike.
Previous efforts of Wagner to stop
the strike of 10000 silk and dye
workers Through negotiations" in
dicates that the workers are not being
fooled SO easily by the MIRA
The latest appeal of Wagner, with
the gratuitous fright to strike" state
ment is an attempt to win the con-
fidence Of the workers and to keep
them from winning their demands
through strike.

fight. Let's start at the convention
by getting rid of johnson and all the
other takers. Let's fight Roosevelts
New dirty Deal. Let us get rid of
parasites like Colonel w. E. Easter
wood of Dallas, Texas, who wants to
embrace Fascism, that arch enemy
of the workers and vets. The dear
colonel gave Mussolini his Legion
button as a token of friendship.
Three friends of mine on hearing this
threw theirs in the river.
The Red Scare
When johnson gets to Chicago the
APPOINT program will dwindle down
to a 1-point attack on the reds in
our ranks" and the menace of Com
munism. This is old stuff, johnson.
Even the government found the gag
about the red scare couldn't work any
more. The vets on the last Bonus
March defeated that when they voted
for the 3point program. Here vets
from all over the country and every
organization joined in United Front.
So when Johnson starts to rave about
the reds" just stand up and tell
him to pipe down and give us a con-
structive program. We must demand
a full discussion of veteran problems,
not race batting, red-baiting and SEN
atorial hot air. We must demand the
passage of the 3-point program.
ALI vets, whether Legion men or
not, must support the struggle and
fight OF the rank and file group for
representation on review boards.
Veterans Bureau, etc. All legion rank
and fllers must get to Chicago if
possible to keep the convention from
being a picnic of bigshots. All Chi
cago vets, Legion and otherwise, must
support and demand that the rank
and file be heard. All Chicago vets
should mobilize mass support for the
veterans fight for the 3-point pro-
gram. Leaflets must be distributed
calling for a United Front with the
Legion vets, demanding the ousting
Of the misleaders of the American
Legion and election of rank and file
committees. So long bud, see you in

dollar. They demanded the five
day week in order to place more tool
and die makers on the jobs. There
are approximately 40 per cent I'M
employed, in spite of this being the
season for model changes. The men
work only about three or four months
a year.
The General Motors subsidiary,
after stalling off the men for a few
days rejected the demands of the
strikers. After negotiating for five
days, rejected the demands of the
agement led the union to believe
that raise was in prospect, they
broke off negotiations suddenly. The
company refused to accede anything,
but promised to place tool and die
makers on production after compile
ton of dies, SO that they may work
all year around. This trick of the
bosses was intended to create a divi-
sion between the die makers and the
men on production.
Ninety per cent of the workers of
these crafts in Flint and Detroit were
to vote Saturday on joining the
strike. (Results of the vote have
not been received by the time we
went to press.

A. I. of |. Leaders
to Draw Sharp Fire
from Rank and File
100 to At end Wash
ington Me 2ting on
October 2


NEW YORK.-Simultaneously with
the 53rd Annual Convention of the
A. F. of L., which takes place in
Washington, D. c., on Oct. End and
Bird, Rank and File Conference Of
A. F. of L. delegates will be held
in the same city to take up matters
of first Importance to American labor
which the convention, engineered by
Green and his gang, is expected to
sabotage or sidetrack
The Rank and File Conference is
called by the A. F. of l.. Committee
for Unemployment Insurance, which
has received the support of more than
1000 A, F. Of L. locals throughout
the country.
More than 100 accredited delegates
from A. F. of L. locals from the
East and Midwest will gather at
the conference, it was predicted yes
terday by Louis Weinstock, National
Secretary of the Committee.
One of the main questions on the
agenda of the conference will be a
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill. William Green and other A. F.
of L. leaders opposed such bill at
the A. F. of L. convention in Gin
cinnati in 1892, but mass pressure by
A. F. of L. locals forced them to
reverse themselves and to give lip
service to such bill. The same lead
ers, however, have done nothing
whatsoever to further the enactment
of such a law by the government, it
is charged by the A. F. of L. Com
mittee headed by Weinstock.
Another important question the
conference will discuss will be ex-
emption of dues for the unemployed.
In connection with this, the COM
mittee calling the conference charges
that more than 100000 workers were
expelled or suspended from member
ship in A. F. Of L. locals because of
inability to pay dues.
A third important question the con-
ference will take up viii be the Ma
tional Industrial Recovery Act. and
the traitorous action of William
Green and other corrupt A. F. of L.
leaders in joining the U. s. Chambers
of Commerce, bankers and industrial
lists in putting over the slave NRA
codes.
Arrangements have been made by
the committee Co. food and lodging
for the conference delegates in Wash
ington at a low cost.
All A. F. Of L. locals are urged to
elect their delegates to the confer
ence at once and to send in creden-
tiaIs to the A. F. of L. Committee for
Unemployment Insurance, 81 E. 18th
St, New York City. The committee
also appeals for donations to help
cover the cost Of this important con-
ference.

strike are calling for the election OF
a broad strike committee, urging an
appeal to all production workers for
solidarity of action. An appeal is
issued to all A. F. of L. members
to help the strikers.
The Auto Workers Union has is
sued leaflet supporting the strike
and calling for a united front strug-
gle.
The A. F. of L. leaders of the
United Auto Workers Union called
special meeting of its members in
an effort to break the strike. George
W. Starkweather, president of the
local, told newspaper men that his
organization did not recognize the
strike and would take no part in the
strike"
In Washington, Senator Wagner
began to move the MIRA machinery
in an effort to break the strike.

pUT the N. r. A. is failing to
u achieve the detectives set for it
by Roosevelt in the way of bolster
ing up the home market. Commodi-
ties pile up in the warehouses while
the impoverishment of the masses
makes it less and less likely that
they can be absorbed at home. De-
spite the lying statements of Secre-
tary of Labor Perkins about 1000, 900
being employed, the incontrovertable
facts are that less than ever before
in the crisis is being consumed.
Statistics on this point are volumin-
Gus, but we will just take the latest
complaint from the New York Times
Sunday, Sept. I'D: 1.-The sharp drop
in (retaiD trade made necessary
revision in earlier estimates OF busi-
ness for the half month. From
gain of 10 per cent, which was for
merly calculated for the two weeks,
it was figured that volume would do
well to break even with year ago.
All distributive units are apparently
feeling the setback"
Markets and War
With the reported 100000 increase
in employment, the amount of food,
clothing and other necessities of life
purchased in the first seven months
of 1888, in the era Of the MIRA, is
from 8 to 10 per cent less than in
1882.
Surplus capital is piling up. I'm
certainties are making it difficult for
stable investment at home, with capt.
talists sending their money out of
the country.

Hoppers Menacing
Bankers Are Told

Valley City. N. D., June 24.-(R)-
North Dakota bankers, assembled
here Friday at their 31st annual con-
vention, were told by two speakers
that the grasshopper menace in this
state has again become serious.
The speakers were B. E. Groom OF
the Greater North Dakota associa-
ton and F. e. Butcher Of Washing
ton, specialist with the department
Of agriculture, who has just con-
cluded long study Of the grasshop-
per situation in North Dakota.
The 'hoppers now seem to be out
Of control, Groom said, and serious
loss this year seems certain. He said
the losses will be sustained, In his
opinion, as a direct result Of the
general indifference to the situation
which has caused shortage of funds.
The whole problem now is one Of
finance, he said, and unless some
system is set up insuring ample
funds, a continuance Of the pest
seems certain.
The main program opens Saturday
with several addresses and election
of officers scheduled.
Recent changes in the federal farm
loan act were outlined Saturday by
John Thorpe, st. Paul, of the federal
land bank. Thorpe substituted for F.
H. Klawon, president. Also on Sat-
urdays program was j. J. Weeks. BIS

Disabled Veterans
Will Ignore Bonus

Cincinnati, O., June 23.-(R)-Feel-
ing the federal government IS not

bonus, the disabled American veterans
of the World War may make no re-
quest for a cash payment at their 1888

day. II they fail to advocate cash
payment OF the bonus this year, it
will be the first time In the 0rgan-

Corbly predicted, however, the vet
Grams would oppose the administra-

affects reductions in appropriations

with service. The veterans feel now,
as always, he said. that service-con-
nected disability cases should be cared
