1000 STRIKE AGAINST
FORCED LABOR IN ". G

HIGH POINT, N. C.-Unemployed
workers employed on a county and
city forced labor project here are on
strike against a wage cut. One thou
sand OF them refused to work when
wages, until now one dollar a day
while working only days a week,
were cut to 80 cents day, making 1t
s2.4o a week. The strike is a result
OF the activity Of the High Point
Unemployed League.

these skunks," shouted the woman
with the shawl
NO, comrades, that certainly isn't
right" the speaker replied. THE only
result of that would be that they
would then be able to do as they
like with our money without being in
any way disturbed"
Hear, hear!"
DO, you simply want to desert your
millions of working mates who have
not yet clearly recognized the anti
working class role of the trade union
leaders, and leave them at the mercy
of these scoundrels? No. just the OPP
poSite! Just now, before the LIST Of
May, we must do all in our power to
explain to our S. P. D. and morgan
lied fellow workers, in the branch
meetings, in the factories, on the
streets, in trans and at the shops,
what the real truth is and why it is
that these same Berlin trade union
leaders have the cheek to issue a
manifesto for the 1st of May, in
which they dare to write that TIRE
sponsible parties call for demonstra-
tions. No trade unionist will take
part in these demonstrations -
They'll see. Well show them!"
The reserve which had been shown
at the beginning of the meeting had
completely disappeared People had
warmed up. Members Of the audi
ence were debating heatedly among
themselves. Near the door a regular
discussion group hat formed. COM
pletely forgetting the speaker. Her
mann tapped his glass energetically.
Comrades, we cannot carry on like
this, we must have silence until the
speaker has finished; afterwards you
can hand in your names for discus
sion"
Some laughed, and then there was
silence once more.
Comrades. snail now finish. Last
year the trade union leaders and the
S. P. D. saw how the May Day dem
onstrations were completely domi-
mated by the Revolutionary Trade
Union Opposition, with their slogans
and fighting spirit. From being q
tame, well-mannered demonstration,
it had become under our influence,
and through the workers supporting
us, political revolutionary mass
action. In the same way this year.
list OF May demonstration in the
streets OF Berlin will show how small
the influence Of the reformists has
become over the class conscious
workers. 1t would become a day of
struggle Under the Red banners of
the Commu list Party Such mighty
demonstration which would be di-
rected in the first place against the
starvation policy of the S. P. D. CO.
alition government, and would be
blow to their prestige. Fearing this,
they have instructed their 'Comrade
Police President TO prohibit the May
Day demonstrations.
But, comrades" he raised his
voice. 1--WE Berlin workers did not
allow ourselves to be driven off the
streets by Wilhelm, and we will
not now let ourselves be driven off
the streets by ZOerg;ebeE."
"Bravop
Hear, hear"
II repeat. We shall go on the
streets on Wednesday We shall go
unarmed. And under the eyes of a
police force armed to the teeth, paid
for by our pennies and led by a So
c!al-Democrat, We shall conquer the
streets"
"Bravol Bravo!"

fNN THIS connection we must see
L what role the Trade Union leaders
are playing today in the camp Of the
enemies Of the working class. After
the International Workers Congress
in Paris in 1889 had decided to cele-
brate the first of May as the fighting
day of the working class, the Berlin
trade unions were the first to start
active propaganda for the celebration
of May Day in 1890. Towards the end
Of March a manifesto signed by the
most varied trade union branches
appeared in the Volks Tribune and
Volksblatt headed, What is to hap
pen on May the 1st?" In all indus
trial cities it was planned to cele-
brate May Day as holiday Of the
working class, under the slogan Fight
for the eight-hour day by ceasing
work and organizing street demon
strations.
Despite strong opposition, the
workers have stood by their May Day
ever since. The very first May Day
celebration was followed by an in
tense struggle in the Berlin metal in
dustry. All moulders were locked
out. They put forward their own
demands: Shorter working day, and
a minimum wage In 1896 the trade
unions fought the employers for 26
weeks as a result of the 1st Of May.
Two years previously, the Berlin
trade unions had started the we'll
known beer boycott on the 1st of
May i'll order to enforce their de-
Msnds. You see, comrades, the LIST
OF May in those days was always
fighting day and day of celebration
for the trade unions, especially in
Berlin

and raised his voice.

THE Disability Allowance Law made
L eligible for benefits any honorably
discharged veteran having a disability
Of % per cent or greater. No proof
Of service connected disability is
necessary. This clever scheme was
put through to make it appear as
though it was especially enacted to
apply to veterans who contracted dis
abilities in civil life. The pay for
IS per cent disability is $12 q month
and for total disability $40 a month.
There are no allowances for depend
entS of disabled under this law. Thou
sands who had not applied before
because of the insulting clause about
venereal disease now filed claims I'M
der the DIAL. There are no provi-
sions under this for back pay. These
thousand who have been suffering
for II years or more are denied COM
pensation for this time.
This increase in claims and the rise
in compensation paid out is the pre-
text for the slanderous attacks OF
the National Economy League. Men
who risked their lives in Wall Streets
wars and whose disabilities resulted
in one way or another from this SER
vice are called by the MEL. grafters
and racketeers.
More To Be Dropped
And SO the non service joker be-
gins to bear malice Between April
l and June &c. 10000 cases of SER
vice-connected veterans of all the
American wars since the Civil War
will be reviewed on their individual
merits. This means the Veterans Ad-
ministration, through its SIS regional
offices, must review 1888 cases day
or 1A5 cases day in each regional
office. Such examinations are joke
to all but the victims, Many of them
will be dropped from the rolls, while
those that remain will be cut 20 per
cent in accordance with Roosevelts
order
These figures do not include the
434,95 cases of World War veterans
now drawing compensation for in
iuries not resulting from direct war
service. These so-called non service
connected cases will simply be strick-
en- bodily from the pension rolls with
out review This applies to Spanish
American War vets also.
What will happen to the cases that
will be reviewed will depend to some
extent on the vets themselves. Since
we know that we will not be properly
represented by the leaders of the Am
erican Legion, Veterans of Foreign
Wars and Disabled American Vet
Grams, our only hope Of fair trial.
Sounds like a court martiaD is thru
rank and file committees. In the case
of tens Of thousands of unattached
vets end former Legionnaires, VIEW
and DA.V. members who no longer
believe in the leadership of these or
ranizations, it is doubly important for
them to have rank and file represan-
tation in the regional offices of the
Veterans Bureau BY means of these
committees we can and will demand

BY H. E. BRIGGS.

NOTE.-This is the second Of
two articles on the cuts in veterans
benefits and the struggle against
them. The first article, published
yesterday, showed the intimate tie
up between the National Economy
League, which has been leading the
attack on the vets, and the leaders
of the American Legion. 1t also
discussed the history of veterans
legislation since the war, bringing
it down to 1880 when the Disability
Allowance Law was passed.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-04-05

Conditions for eligibility to and
~atings for compensation have been
totally different for the rank and file
veteran and the officer An officer,
establishing a 80 per cent disability
through the kindness Of a doctor
friend, automatically became eligible
for a lifetime pension ranging from
S125 to $3.50 per month, according to
rank. The eX-olficer with q 80 per
cent disability received q minimum
of Sl25 a month The eX-private
with the same disability received a
maximum for service connected
cases of $50 per month, if he was
lucky enough to get by the red tape
surrounding his examination. Not
until the veteran furnishes evidence
as to his earning power before the
war is the rating he is to receive de-
cided upon. On the one hand, we
have the establishment of rank, on
the other the proof of earning power.
This is what is called capitalist JUS
tice.
