Stockholders Get
Bigger Dividend
Checks This Month
Increase 100 Per cent
Over October; Wages
Drop, Prices Rise

NEW YORK, Dec. while mil
lions of joblesS face the coming
winter without any provision for food
or shelter, and millions more on the
job have had their wages reduced
through wage cuts and part-time, a
handful of wealthy stockholders re-
ceived fat increases in dividends dur
ing the month of November, 1t was
announced today.
During the last four weeks stock
holders of 579 big corporations, con-
shutting less than OIL per cent Of the
population received $21, 966, 900 in
dividend checks. This is an increase
Of $13l $4,000, an increase of over
100 per cent over the four weeks of
october.
Get Over Billion
For the first eleven months Of this
year the stockholders of these COM
panies received total Of $685.
10000 in dividend checks.
These enormous payments are in
addition to the even larger interest
payments to the bondholderS,
That the increase In the intensity
Of exploitation Of the workers has
been accelerated by the Roosevelt
NFSA codes is clearly evidenced in
these figures since the increased
profits of these companies has taken
place despite the fact that business
has been dropping since July.
The extraordinary way in which the
Roosevelt NRA codes have permitted
the big Wall Street monopolies to in
crease profits even in the face of
declining business, through speed-up,
reduced wages, etc. is wildly shown
by the following table OF dividend
changes in the recent period:
Stockholders in food, steel, auto,
packing and mail-order companies
received dividends larger than last
year.
?hirty-four large companies not
only maintained e4r regular div
idents but issued large checks, the
so-called extras"
Thirty companies which were not
paying dividends last year resumed
payments this year. This compares
with only Z assumptions Of payments
last year.
Seventeen companies actually de-
clared increased rates of payments, as
compared with six such increases last
year.
And whereas IS companies omitted
dividend payments last year, only 10
omitted payments this year.
Last year SO companies reduced
their dividend payment. This year
only 10 took such action.
Some of the industries paid out
dividends during November as fol-
lows: public utilities, s79,769, 900; food
packing, $19,000,000; oil companies,
$46,O00,O00; railroads s15,00o,O00.
The huge increases in dividends
paid out by these monopolies are due
partly to the increased prices of the
NRA codes, and the intensified eX-
ploitation permitted and organized
under these codes.
The Roosevelt program has, thus,
been Of tremendous benefit to Wall
Street monopoly capitalize the
Rockefellers in the oil companies, to
the Morgans in the auto, railroad
and food companies.
The cost Of living during this
period has risen 10 per cent, with food
having risen "a per cent.

admits sharp reductions in wage
rates during this period,

workers indicates what real gains can
be won through greater organization
and struggle.
But the workers must have no IL
lusions with regard to this CW.A.,
this new civil works program This
is so far just another Rooseveltian
promise. In practice 1t will lead to
new attacks on the workers living
standards UNLESS the workers,
through their organized mass effort,
make this impossible. -f
Roosevelt, through,rthist new man
oeuver, hopes to dull the fighting
spirit of the toilers; he hopes to
create division between skilled and
unskilled workers, Between the few
given jobs and the mass of the IN
employed; he hopes to give jobs to
few as a cover for his plans to cut
millions off the relief lists; he hopes
to add universal forced labor to his
already established citizens conser-
walton camps and transient camps.
In short, under the guise of helping
the unemployed, Roosevelt hopes to
reduce the cost. Of maintaining the
unemployed. Under the guise of his
civil works program, Roosevelt wishes
to reduce the tax burden on the rich,
abandon real public works, avoid I'M
employment insurance, and place all
the burdens of unemployment on the
workers themselves. -'-
Already the forced labor character
of the C.W.A. is evident: long hours
of waiting in the cold at the registra-
ton Offices, the bullying Of bureau
cratic officials and foremen, threats
of no further relief for families and
assignment to transient camps as
Migrants, etc. Furthermore, it is al
ready clear that at the registration
bureaus efforts are being made to
force workers to leave militant trade
unionS-T.U.UL. and independent
unions-and to join AT. of L. unions
dominated by reactionary, corrupt,
bureaucratic leadership which works
hand and glove with the Roosevelt
starvation regime.
A Sob Or Relief
To sum up: Roosevelts C.W.A. pro-
gram is brought forward in an effort
to counteract the. growing mass dis
content and the mass struggles
against the effects Of deepening
crisis. AS in the past he will en-
deavor to make. the C.WA. new
weapon against the workers.
The appropriation of 100000, 600
shows that by struggle the masses
can gain even more. BY organizing
the masses for the broadest struggle,
we can compel the government to
secure further funds to prevent fur
ther starvation. There is plenty of
money in the country in the hands
Of the corporations and banks, which
have increased their profits and divi-
,dends during the past years. Our
task is now to raise demands that
will compel the government through
well organized, militant struggles to

OF the reasons why you have to write

can put 1t into its proper place is by
writing and talking.

release Of energy, too, energy whose

The Daily need not apologize for
its sports department. Its reception
has been too unanimously enthusi-
