in Harlem and former New York AL
derman. 1t was Moore who several
months ago told a workers commit
tee which asked him to protest the
Scottsboro lynch verdict that Il am
quite comfortably situated and have
no fear of lynch mobs coming to my
office in Harlem" Cynically, he told
the committee that "he wasn't in
terested"
Written by Jim Mallory, editor of
the Southern Worker, the article in
the Daily had called attention to
serious opportunistic mistakes which
had been made in the South, and
told of the energetic fight being made
by the Communist Party against
these tendencies.
Crude Distortions
A comparison of the original article
in the Daily Worker with the article
in the Age" shows the dastardly
method used to poison the minds OF
the readers of this Negro paper
against the Communist Party and the
International Labor Defense, out
standing fighters for the rights of the
Negro people,
What is the method?
1t is simply to quote the "damag-
ing" references made by Comrade
Mallory to the opportunist errors
which had been made IN the work
in the South, and emitting the sharp
categorical criticism of these errors.
For example, the age" quotes this
paragraph from Comrade Mallory's
article:
"In the preparation Of leaflets in
Birmingham for May Day, 1888, the
demands for Negro rights were deiib-
erately omitted from certain leaflets
1t was explained that these leaflets
were for the eyes of the white work
ers."
The age" fails TO print the
following sentence - extremely i'm
portant-which follow this criticism
"The Agitprop Commission of the
Central Committee condemned
these leaflets in the sharpest
terms"
ANOTHER example:
n The Age" quotes paragraph
from Comrade Mallory's article, as
follows:
''Some white non-Party menl S in
Birmingham suggested a united front
ticket for the October, 1888, city cleo
tons. They believed that such tick
ct would be highly successful, on con-
dition that all nominees be white
1t is neither surprising nor scandalouS
that white workers in the heart Of the
South, without previous contact with
our movement, should make such g
suggestion. What is highly scanda-
lous, is that many of the leading COM
rades in the district favored the con-
cession."
The Age" in line with its deter
mination to distort this Communists
criticism of inexcusably wrong &C
tons into justification of these &C.

mands and organized willingness to
fight for those demands.
1t is now a generally accepted
though unofficial policy for relief
bureau administrators to give spe-
cial attention and consideration to
all cases in which the Unemployed
Councils have made protests through
their delegates or other representa-
tives.
This, however, is only an incidental
goal Of the Councils.
Their chisf aim is to demonstrate
10 the masses Of jobless, in action
that the present system of food tick
cts, browbeat-ng and insults must be
replaced by relief which the workers
themselves will administer. Their
fight is to win unemployment insur-
ance which will rescue the lives of
the jobless from the hands of petty
office tyrants and give each unem-
ployed family chance to manage
its own affairs.

LIFE INSURANCE RACKET

CHICAGO, June 9.-In an effort
to avoid payments to policy holders
of group insurance-in industry and
in language groups-the American
Life Convention here charges that
insurance has been bought on some
who are physically impaired. Lee
N. Parker, vice president of the
American Service Bureau, said such
things were 'rackets.' In fact the
racketeering is being carried on by
the insurance companies who are
trying to swindle policy holders and
their benef1ciaries out of the money
they have promised to pay.

Business Notes

NEW YORK. February Last
months sales volume in the grocery
trade was considerably above that OF
the corresponding period last year. 1t Is
indicated by reports Of number OF the
larger companies.
It is reported in the shoe trade that
certain manufacturers continue to shade
price on volume numbers. Most Of the
firms receiving fair volume OF business
are holding quotations steady.
Dealers in apparel accessories report
an increasing flow of orders. Neckwear,
millinery, blouses and novelty jewelry
are in especially good call, 1t is said.
A tendency to price weakness tended
to reduce buying Of Spring goods in
the primary dry goods market during
the past week 1t is said that mail
orders from out-of-town jobbers on
staple merchandise have been COM
paratively small. due to the fact that
goods are moving very slowly to re-
tailers.
The gray goods market continues
dull. with mills showing reluctance to
accept most of the current bids for
print cloths, which appeared at LIS
of a cent under the market
Some manufacturers of pressed glass
ware have increased operations in order
to meet the prompt shipment demand
of department stores and other retail
ers, says the American Glass Review.
In the window glass department, busi-
ness continues SLOW
Export and import executives COM
prising the Joint Committee for Foreign
Trade Action, have decided to ask the
congressional committee assigned to
consider the proposal for cancelling mail
with slogans supporting the buy Amer
ican" movement, to kill the measure.
The committee has also taken a stand
against the proposed elimination of
commercial attaches in foreign coun-
tries in connection with governmental
economy plans.

The volume OF motor vehicle financ-
ing has decreased continuously since
1929. both IN terms Of dollars and IN
number of cars
This is revealed by recapitulation
of Commerce Department figures which
show also that the number OF cars n
nanced became greater than the num-
ber Of new cars in 1880 and has so re-
manned since.
The amount Of money involved in
the financing of new cars however. re-
mains greater than that used in the f.
nAnclng of used cars. but the large
am unit involved in wholesale financing
and the slower decrezsa as compared
with retail financing Of new cars re-
suited at the end of 1882, in the amount
Of wholesale financing being greater
than that of new cars financed at re-
tail
The National Association Of Finance
Companies declares this is due, un-
doubtedly, to the fact that only about
tWo-thirds of the cars are sold on the
installment plan and thus are subject
to retail financing, whereas all CT the
new cars may be, and apparently most
Of them are made the security for loans
advanced by the finance companies to

Other interesting facts developed
from the statistics refer to the lower
price Of both new and used cars f.
nanced in 1882 as compared with 1923.
The average note for new cars, for In
stance, in 1882 was 9l.6 per cent OF
that for 1929. For used cars. the 1882
percentage was 81.8 per cent OF the
1929 note. In dollars this means that
the average note on new cars was $685.
IN 1929 and s545 in 1882. For used
cars the average note was 1907 In 1929

Commodity Price
Trends of Week
BY HI, n, McGILL,
Editor McGiu Commodity Service. Inc.

Bdltor McCll COMMONLY service, Inc.
AUBURNDALE. Mass. February A.
All commodities for the fifth consecu-
tive week recorded a decline, reaching
low per cent under the minimum OF
last Summer. The present price level
Is the lowest since the opening days of
this century There we're no radical
price declines in any one group, but
fractional declines in many groups.
This is we'll illustrated by noting that
out of IA individual commodity price
indices, declined S remained un-
changed and only l advanced.
Industrial Prices.
Industrial prices followed in align
nnent with the downward swing in all
commodities, directly due to lower quo
tations in hides and leather. non
ferrous metals and ferrous metals. In
dustrial activity is now approaching the
end of the usual seasonal decline.
Agricultural prices recorded more
weakness than any other group. This
was due primarily to dairy products.
The wholesale price of butter is now
the lowest in many markets for this
period of the season since 1861. Fresh
eggs in leading markets are the cheap
est in rs years. Little real headway is
being made toward farm relief. and
meanwhile the relationship between
supply and demand is determining the
price level.
Live stock prices we're reactionary
but held above the extreme low re-
corded during the third week of Janu-
airy. Low prices at primary markets
are gradually being reflected in declin-
ing retail prices. which in turn are en-
ccuraging a more favorable per capita
consumption.
Paint materials represent the only
group that advanced. This was due to
the moderate price strengthening in
-osin. The paint index is not at new
high for the year.
Ferrous metals dropped to a new low,
caused by q further reduction in steel
sheets The price level of ferrous metals
remains relatively high compared with
other industrial groups, such as non
ferrous metals, building materials and
fuels.
Hides and leather declined to a new
low since the opening of the year, hides
dropping to 5l4 cents for heavy native
steers, and price weakness was also
noted in betting as we'll as sole leather.
Fine textiles also reached a new low
for the year silk declining sharply
while cotton broke under the Scent
level.
The eight groups that declined dur
ing the week were industrial and agri-
cultural products, live stock, hides and
leather. non-ferrous metals. ferrous
metals, fine textiles and vegetable oils.
All other groups held steady with the
exception Of paint materials, which re-
corded the solitary advance.
