NOT far from Princess Anne, Mary
~ land, where the cindered remains
Of the Negro worker George Arm
wood were torn to pieces for "souv-
enirs" by the lynch mob, president
Roosevelt made a speech concerning
planned economy" Two days after
the lynching, which he failed to men,
ton Roosevelt was presented with
the degree Of Doctor of Laws by
Washington college. He took as his
doctors thesis the success of the
NRA in contrast to the Five-Year
plan.
The complete speech was never
published in the capitalist press, I'M
doubleday to hide its grosser stupid
tiles. But in the course Of his re-
marks Roosevelt did say: 1--WE don't
need any five or ten year plans"
To which he added: I'VE can move
further in shorter period of time
without naming definite length of
time"
Undoubtedly American capitalism
is moving faster-downward to deeper
crisis and misery for the American
workers.
From the beginning Of It's inaugur-
alton the MIRA was ballyhooed as
American capitalisms method of
planning economy. In fact, planning
commission was set up, but died
aborning.
When the Five-Year plan was in
troduced into the Soviet Union in
1928 there was tremendous squirt
in construction and planning, out
pacing the rate of capitalist construc-
ton in any world at any period of
growth.
WHAT has Roosevelt's program
w achieved? An examination Of
every basic industry shows that with
the introduction of the MIRA. produc-
ton slumped. Precisely in those in
dustries where, in the Soviet Union,
planned economy achieved unprece-
denied successes, the Roosevelt prog
ram of saving capitalism from crisis
intensified the downward drop in
production. In the U. S. production
in steel has slunped to 90 per cent,
whereas it was around 80 per cent
at the time Of the Inauguration of
the NRA.
For example, as result of the first
inflationary shot injacted into AM
erican economy by Roosevelt after
the March bank crash the New York
Times business index jumped up to
100. The MIRA was passed by Congress
on June Is, one month after its pas
sage, production in all industries be-
gan to shoot downward. BY October
2lst the Times index dropped to rs.
The Federal Reserve Board in
Washington, in it's latest published
business review, stated that in every
industry in which codes were introd-
uced, output was driven down.
What was the result for economy
as whole?
Greater Contradictions
INSTEAD of planning" there arose
greater conflicts, contradictions and
disproportions. There was a sharper
spread between the prices of agrarian
and manufactured goods. The misery
OF the workers and farmers was in
creased by the steep rise in the cost
OF living, and the cut in real wages.

Rank and File
Fight Against
Gangsters Urged
BY a Young Worker Correspondent

BY a Young Worker Correspondent
SCRANTON, Pa am writing to
you directly from College in Scran-
ton. I am son Of miner and proud
OF it. I am very much interested in
labor struggles, especially of the
miners.
Today in the anthracite region,
District No. l, the situation is very
tense. Cappelini is trying to show the
bosses that he can control the work
ers to serve the bosses, by his dema-
gogic phrases.
There are several collieries on
strike. Cappelini has no program for
the miners. AL he wants is dues, the
same as John Boylan of the U.M.W.A.
Cappelini and Maloney made an
agreement with the Sheriff by which
they were allowed only 80 pickets to
each colliery. Cappelini was then
forced to break off the agreement
with the sheriff because the miners
demanded mass picketing.
I believe that the only salvation
the miners have is by following the
real rank and file committees, which
should be set up at each local union,
to get rid Of these gangsters and
racketeers, and follow the leadership
of the Communist Party.

Russeltown Mine No. 2
S till Out on Strike
BY a Mine Worker Correspondent
RusseltoWn Mine No. 2


Yesterday (Oct. 16), we distributed
the leaflets calling for a conference
TO make a new agreement for the
miners, and to reject the fake Lewis
agreement. When the miners in our
patch of Russelton No. 2 mine read
the leaflets they all agreed with them.
Some went to the local union presi-
dent and asked him about the leaf
lets, and he said it must be the work
OF bunch of bolsheviks.
They asked him to call meeting,
and he said we don't need a meeting
SO the miners discussed the leafet
around the fires we make on the
patch, and decided that if he does not
call a meeting we will call one our
selves and send delegates to the con-
ference in Brownsville next Friday.
Our mine is still on strike, and we
will stay out until we win.

1--WE Don't Need 5>Year Plans," Says
Roosevelt AS NRA Deebens US. Crisis

the Soviet Union it is proposed to
raise the present $4,000 tons daily
Of cast iron by Is per cent.
The production of coal in the So
Wet Union, which now varies from
1876 600 to 10000 tons day is being
pushed up to 2z0,oO0-250 900 tons a
day.
Difficulties
In spite of difficulties, in every
phase of Soviet economy there is
definite and speedy advance. The DIFF
ficulties are all difficulties Of growth
OF socialist advance, OF rapid develop
ment. In the United States what
Roosevelt calls difficulties" are basic
features fthe sharpening Of the
/ economic crisis and the undermining
further OF capitalist stability leading
to untold new miseries for the masses.
The First Five-Year plan trans
formed Soviet economy from back
ward, famine stricken, war-torn ag-
rarian base, to a highly developed
industrial society with the socialist
transformation Of agriculture and the
establishment Of farm collectives.
Briefly, where nothing existed be-
fore, the First Fivc-Year plan created
the following:
A smelling industry. A tractor in
dustry. An automobile industry. A
chemical industry. An agricultural
machinery industry. An aircraft con-
struction industry.
In the four years required for the
completion of the Five-Year plan.
1900 new factories were built: 1920
Soviet farms were set up; 2,497 trac-
tor and machinery stations estab-
! lished.
Along with this technico-econonic
base there was a tremendous cultural
advance, resulting in 81 per cent Of
literacy, with 100000 children Of
working parents in compulsory ele-
mentary schools.
THE Second Five-Year plan, now
L speedily going ahead. envisages the
following:
One billion gold rouble increase in
basic industries.
Increase in industrial production of
34,0O0,OOO, 900 roubles.
In the sphere Of agriculture an in
crease in acreage and yield. which has
already been achieved for 1888.
An increase of Is per cent in the
transportation Of goods.
A considerably more rapid pace Of
DEVELOPMENT in the sphere of cultural
construction than in the sphere Of
economy.
An improvement in the productivity
of labor and in the conditions of the
masses.
Decaying and relapsing capitalism
in the United States was forced to
open the way to diplomatic recogni-
ton Of advancing socialist economy
in the Soviet Union.
The success Of the workers, father
land, particularly in contrast to the
laundering attempts at capitalist
planning and its disastrous results for
the workers, shows that the only way
out for the American worers in the
overthrow of American capitalism and
the establishment Of a Soviet Am
erica.
This road cannot be found by fol-
lowing Roosevelt: this is the road Of
the Communist Party.

County Miners
Plan New FIGHT
BY Mine Worker Correspondent

"Ac VoEkcT correspondent
YUKON, Pa.-The majority of the
miners In and around this vicinity of
Westmoreland County have now re-
turned to work. Among the workers
there Is a feeling of uneasiness. Some
are not going to work, others feel that
they Will soon come out Oh strike
again,
Many say that our real test is still
to come. They begin to see the true
colors Of the N.R.A., that they are
now longer allowed to strike, that
Gov. Pinchot has ordered them back
to work and the whole MIRA. Board
has done the same.
In the Hutchinson Mine they refuse
to pay for dead work. In the Yukon
mine, which is now starting after 10
months, the workers and drivers are
working under the same conditions.
The company suckers are the first to
be hired. Other miners who worked
here many years are told to come
around again.
The miners know that their wages
are low because prices have gone sky
high. Many locals are passing strike
resolutions demanding IS per day, 6
hours and days per week, and the
immediate elections Of U.M.W.A. Of
ficials. A special convention was held
in West Brownsville, Pa, Oct. goth
to continue the strike.
Leaflets were issued under "a Call
to Action" by nine locals OF the U.
denounncing their leader and
the MIRA. A real program of action
was developed at this conference, and
the real test will come after the con-
vention.
Frequently state police are seen
the mining towns, and in some
places searchlights are put up on the
company property.
The workers will soon be put to
their test.
