for ride" on Friday, Oct. 20, Their
plan was stopped by the determine
ton of the strikers who voted at
two mass meetings that the chief
of police and the Mayor would be
held personally responsible for the
safety of their leader. However, he
succeeded in misleading some OF the
leaders and strikers into believing
that If the representatives of the
N. T. w. I. U. would leave, the en-
ployers would settle.
The representatives Of the N. IT.
w. I. U. withdrew and explained to
the workers that they were not will
ing to give the employers an excuse
for not settling the strike. They
warned the workers, however, to be
on their guard.
To the disappointment Of the en-
ployers and the N. r. A. strike
breaker, they could not break the
strike even after the experienced
leaders and advisors withdrew. The
developed leadership of the rank and
file is carrying on a heroic struggle.
The workers are being terrorized.

sluyged but they resisted heroically.
The strikers also foiled an attempt
OF the employers to take out an in
junction against them. The wives of
the strikers have also become active
in the strike, and are picketing the
houses Of the employer. Mr.. Roth

They even picket his club when he

Now, "John the owner" imported

fight against the strikers, but the

at least % per cent Of the workers,
and Ia many instances the workers
working on piece work were put on
an hourly basis, and their wages
were cut. The speed up increased and
the leather workers were made to
produce the same amount OF work
in 8 hours that was formerly done
in ..
The Independent Leather workers
Union which was recently organized,
has grown rapidly during this period.
Tho workers were ready for action.
Committees were formed in every
plant. At first the employers and
the local N. r. A. thought they could
turn this union into company union,
they even asked for the membership
list. But as soon As they realized
that the workers were determined to
fight against the starvation code Of
the N. r. A. and mean to have q real
workers union, they started q CAM
paign Of discrimination against ac-
tive union members, throwing them
out Of their jobs. (All this was done
"A~AA VAiS bACooAAA6 VI VIC ~. ". a.
In order to give . final blow to
the Union, the employers prepared
to lock out half OF the working crew
on Monday, Oct. 8. The workers
under the leadership Of the Union
counteracted this, and unanimously
voted to strike on Oct. 8. Right at

through his tireless efforts in helping
the strike.

their families on the other.
All business ACTIVITY, as measured
by the Wall Street Journal of Com
merce, dropped per cent in a
sharp decline for the 10th consecu-
tive week. The heaviest losses were
experienced in the most important
Industries, steel, auto and oil.
Steel production, the central prop
on which the whole of American
business rests, dropped again this
week, so that now it is at rs per
cent of capacity. This means that
steel production Is now back to the
April level
The Roosevelt program, with all It's
extraordinary initiation measures, its
deliberately instigated hysteria among
consumers to buy, its heavy purchases
for war preparations, and its bally-
hoo about the end of the crisis, is
now back at the very same point at
which it started.
Conceal Crisis
1t is this steady drop in steel pro-
duct.on that is the real explanation
for the fact that from now on the
U. S. Steel Company will no longer
make public the figures for the I'm
led orders on its books. The Amer
lean bourgeoisie is becoming too
frightened to let the masses know the
true extent Of the crisis.
Buy Less Food
indicative of the declining purchss-
ing power Of the workers, the largest
food chain in the country, the A. g.
P. Groceries reports that its sales for
the last two months have been run
ming at a rate Of 10 per cent below
last year. This means that less food
is being consumed.
Another indication of intensifyinK
crisis is the reports Of buying in the
department stores, which report
that the usual Fail upturn In buy
ing has failed to materialize. The
latest report of the Federal Reserve
confirm this.
After six months Of the N.R.A.,
carloadings are dropping, having
barely surpassed last years crisis lows.
Significantly, heavy construction
continues to lie protrate, the total
contracts awarded for this year lag
cling far behind even last year, when
new low record was made.
Financial Crisis
The final touch to the picture Of
steadily advancing crisis is the inten-
styling financial crisis. For the first
time in many years, U. s. Govern
ment bonds are being dumped on the
market, and their prices are dropping.
This is sure sign OF further infis-
tionary currency measures on the part
of the Roosevelt government.
This means rising prices, rising cost
Of living, and declining purchasing
power of the workers wages.
The starvation effect of the Roose-
welt program this week found refec-
ton even in the reports Of the A. T.
