THOUSANDS
ALREADY PUT
OFF RELIEF
Roosevelt Plan Gives
No Guarantee on
wages"

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Eighteen
Thousand are to be taken off
the relief rolls and placed on
forced labor in Westchester
County, it was estimated by West
chester County Engineer Jay Wowner
New Jersey already has removed 49,
900 from relief rolls and the New
York state government is concluding
plans to take thousands off relief and
put them at road building. Several
hundred thousand are already off re-
lief rolls throughout the country, II
is estimated.
Those removed from relief rolls and
put on forced labor have been given
no guarantee as to how long this work
viii last. The Roosevelt plan, as il
is being put into operation, makes nc
provision for placing these workers
back on relief. In addition, the pub
lie works fund which is supposed
to pay the unemployed put on forced
labor, is rapidly being used up moi
only for the meagre wages" but fol
material, equipment, etc.
The fact that the Roosevelt prom.
ises are already being broken is seer
in the announcement from Washing.
ton that one half million will be put
to work directly under federal gov
eminent control on federal projects
The original plan of Roosevelt and
Hopkins called for one million to BIT
employed. The extravagant figure!
given by Roosevelt are also seen ii
the United Press dispatches of yes
terday that 100000 women will b.
given jobs under the plan and or
the same day the Associated press re-
port for the same conference with
Mrs. Roosevelt, that 100000 womer
would be given work. The pairing
down of figures has thus already be-
gun, and the unemployed workers cut
off relief will be left high and dry
without relief and without work, faced
with starvation.
In New York City the J. P. Morgan
company, representing the bankers
Of New York City, took up the en-
tire 10 million dollar city "relief" bono
issue. Although these bonds were
issued on the pretext of giving "re-
lief" to the unemployed, it is already
announced that only thirty-one mil
lion will be used for relief and the
rest for the city sinking fund, etc

Perkins Sidesteps
BOrich Deportation
and Strike Figures
Doesn't Seem to Have
Facts on Major
Questions
BY SEYMOUR WALDMAN
Daily Worker Washington Bureau)


WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The De-
partment of Labor today admitted
that there's a distinct difference be-
tween deporting Nazi propaganda
and a militant labor leader like
Frank Borich, National Secretary of
the National Miners Union. He is
now facing imminent deportation as
result of the recent rejection Of
his appeal from the Federal District
Court by the Circuit Court of APP
peals in Pittsburgh.
Colonel Daniel w. MacCormack,
Commissioner General of Immigra-
ton of the Labor Department, Off
cially admitted that no affidavits
were presented to him before the
issuance Of the deportation order
against Borich. His statement, made
today while he was assisting Secre-
tary Frances Perkins through her
weekly press conference, recalled the
recent request of Congressman Sam
uel Dickstein, chairman of the House
immigration and Naturalization, for
the deportation of certain specified
Nazi propagandists. Dickstein was
told to first furnish the department
with affidavits.
Miss Perkins, were any affidavits
presented in the deportation case of

Grew Win Demands
After Cir. Strike

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 21.--On
Friday, Nov. 18th, the crew Of the
Munindies struck solid under the lead
ership of the Marine Workers IN
dustrial Union and won their strike.
The demands were:
1. Immediate pay-off. 2. Sign ar
ticles before a Shipping Commission
err. 3. No one to be fired.
After striking hours, all demands
were won. Eleven members of the
crew Joined the Marine Workers In
dustrial Union, two of them, men,
bers Of the I.W.W., turned in their
books and said they always had a
bunch the I.W.W. was phoney.
The crew shut off the steam when
longshoremen attempted to work
cargo. This had lot of effect be-
cause the payroll came aboard short
ly thereafter. The crew has pledged
to organize themselves stronger and
put up fight for higher wages. This
is the third strike within short
period on the Munson Line here in
Baltimore, and Baltimore is becoming
known as the pay-off port for Mum
son ships.

pussy -footlng declared CnaG Cne case
is important enough for the Presi-
dent"
The shipyards workers are now in
the eighth week of their strike
against the United Dry Dock Inc,
and the Todd Shipbuilding Corpora
ton. During this period the officials
of the nine craft unions of the A. F.
of L. claiming control in the strike
have repeatedly stified any militant
strike action to prevent scabs from
entering the shipyards Leave it
to the N.RA." was the policy of the
officials. Employers notified to at
tend conferences with the A. F. Of
L. through the NR.A. have failed to
put in an appearance.
The NR.A. action taken at this
time is plainly the result of their
failure to starve the workers back to
work and their fear that the strikers
will follow the advice of the Steel
and Metal Workers Industrial Union
to take the strike in their own hands.
Thus far officials have succeeded in
intimidating the workers by threats
of deportation and of terror should
they decide on militant policy. I'M
patience of the workers with these
methods and growing revolt in the
ranks compels the N. r. A. to offer
another fraudulent promise that the
government will withdraw its REC.
contract should the shipowners refuse
to appear at the conferences.
The Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union in a statement on the
latest action of the MIRA. and the
A. F. of L. officials, declares the fol-
lowing: "The shipyards strikers have
nothing to expect from the MIRA,
the Labor Board or the President.
All of them are serving the interests
of the employers of the United Dry
docks and of the Shipbuilding Corp.
The Industrial Union emphasizes
again that the strike can be won
only if militant mass action is ap-
piled against the wishes of the A..
F. of L. leaders. This will clean the
yards of scabs and will force the
demands of the strikers upon the
bankers of Wall Street, owners Of
these two shipyards. Strikes were
never won through politicians, SEN
ators and labor boards, but only
through militant action"
The Industrial Union urges the
strikers to elect their own rank and
file strike committee, organize strike
activities and demand strike relief
from the huge treasures of the Metal
and Building Trades department of
the A. F. of L. to keep themselves
and families from starving.

Industrial Union
Wins $500 i'm Back
Pay for Fur Worker

NEW YORK. - Back pay of $500
was won by the Needle Trades Work
ers' Industrial Union for Louis PERL

Union compelled the Premier Fur Co.
to pay this amount when it was dis
covered that the employer had been
chiselling on the wage scale.

and zimmermans cannot produce a
single case in which the interests of

readily show how their own clique

tected at the expense of the workers.

Debt Negotiations

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Toward
definite agreement to wipe the Soviet
American slate clear OF debts, claims
and counter claims, officials negotia-
ted today, hopeful that something
decisive may be announced before
Maxim Litvinof leaves here Thurs
day.
Observers claiming inside informa-
ton said a plan for settlement is
near, though 1t is not certain agree
ment can be reached in the short
time left for the final Russian Amer
lean conversations. That definite
trade commitments probably will be
handled later was indicated when the
State Department announced the
formation of new central executive
committee to handle foreign trade
policies, coordinating all the work of
many government agencies dealing
with matters related directly or in
directly with foreign trade.
Major Talk on Claims.
There was a general impression
today that the conversations are de-
voted almost entirely to debts,
claims and counter claims These
include a total of around $800,O00,-
600 claimed by the United States
for the Kerensky debt and private

unnamed counter-claimed by Rus

In an average year the output of

Sentiments usually are purchased
from free-lance writer's, who submit
