DEPORT BORICH
PERKINS ORDER;
|. [. D. APPEALS
Continues Doak Policy;
Hold Davis Also, Must
Send Protests

PITTSBURGH, Pa. April II, 49,
Frank Borich has been ordered de-
ported to Jugoslavia by the U. S. La
Dor Department headed by the lib
eral" Frances Perkins. Deportation
of Borich is direct step toward out
having the National Miners Union,
militant organization of miners now
conducting strike struggles against
starvation in the coal fields Of Ohio
and Pennsylvania. Borich was seized
March 81, 1892, in a raid on the Ma
tlonal Miners Union headquarters
in Pittsburgh. The raid was directed
by stool pigeon officials Of the United
Mine Workers Of America, BY de-
porting Borich to Jugoslavia the gov
eminent is sending him to long inn
prisonment or death.
The verdict to ship Borich to his
death because Of his strike activities
Is one of the first acts Of Secretary
Of Labor Perkins, following her pro-
mise. when appointed, that all allen
hunting and red-baiting" would be
discontinued. It indicates that she
will not alter the policy Of Doak in
bounding and arresting militant
workers for their strike activity.
Morgan Davis, 59-year old miner,
is the second member Of the National
Miners Union recently ordered de-
ported for his labor activities. The
international Labor Defense is filing
a writ of habeas corpus for him.
Davis is one of nearly dozen N.M,U.
leaders arrested in raids by immigra-
ton officials on the Pittsburgh and
Green county headquarters. The lat
ter raid occurred February 2, 1888.
Vincent Kamenovich, outstanding
militant figure in the Kentucky,
Pennsylvania, and Ohio strikes, is
among them.
The International Labor Defense
is appealing the case Of Borich to the
U. S. Supreme Court. $500 is needed
Immediately to carry on this fight.
Send funds TO the international La
Dor Defense, Room 430, 80 E, 18th ST.,
N. Y. c. Working class organizations,
| especially foreign-born organizations
should swamp Perkins with kilograms
of protest.

Workers Industrial Union by framing Leon
Blum Sscretary-Treasurer Of the organi-
cation. on false charges Of intimidation.
Blum is on parole for three years on q
charge arising out Of previous strike &C.
tivities. At a recent hearing Of the Parole
Commission, Blum was charged with threat
ening scahs and was himself threatened
with prison for the remainder of his parole.
Four affidsvits signed by seabs were Of
fered at the hearing, none of which made
direct charges against Blum. The AEgu-
ment Of the Parole Commission Is that scabs
were threatened and beaten, and II the
leader Of an organization tolerates such
crimes he is responsible for them.
The bosses OF the Pretty Laundry offered
to drop charges against Blum If the strike
was called off. The union net only reject
ed this offer, but made the following state
ment:
sour answer to the bosses OF the Pretty
Laundry Is more intensified activity, cal
TO ell members Of the union to give more
support to the Pretty strike. We call upon
all workers to show their solidarity with
the Pretty strikers, Come down to the
picket lines. Send protest ts!s-gams TO the
Parole Commission, Mr.. Falko,, 80 Center
St. demanding the immediate al unoon-
ditional release Of Leon Blum. Only thru

united working class, states the
Trade Union Unity League COM
menting on the recent manifesto of
the Railroad Labor Executives As
ISOLATION against the government plan
for railroad dictator. For the past
five years" continues the League,
railroad workers have been treated
TO all those practices which the la
Dor chiefs now so loudly denounce.
In the five year period, 1927-l932,
railroad jobs dropped by three quart
ers of million, and the railroad Ia
Dor chiefs did not take one step 10
make the roads responsible for these
wholesale lay-offs or even pay the
the furloughed workers one cent for
relief. Nor did the chiefs raise any
objection when the companies made
those still working help their charity
starvation schemes for the unem-
ployed by docking their pay checks
Csc to SOC week for charity relief.
Attack on Unemployed.
The union officials themselves car
ried through the same attacks against
the unemployed members as did the
employers. They dropped them from
the lodges because they could nc
longer afford to pay dues. In many
of the lodges they have lost the right
to union benefits. In this way they
have divided the employed and IN
employed and weakened the possibil-
ity of a united effective struggle
against the employers.
Direct wage cuts totaling $780,
600 900 have been calmly accepted by
the rail labor chiefs for the benefit
Of the railroad flnanciers. They have
accepted without opposition, except
verbal opposition, vacations without
pay (Which means wage cuts); de-
motion from higher paid to lower
paid jobs (Which mean wage cuts) ;
share the work plans (Which mean
wage cuts); in fact every kind Of in
direct wage cuts which companies

part of the losses Of the Wall Street
Finance capital, since the govern
ment will have TO impose additional
taxes upon the people to make good
its guarantee.
The significant feature Of this act is
that it Is really inflationary, Where
will the funds come from? They
certainly cannot come from increased
government income. The budget crisis
grows, and the deficit is greater than
ever. The money necessary to guar
antee interest payments on these
mortgage bonds, win ultimately re-
quire currency expansion.
The bill is loudly advertised as be-
ing a relief" bill for the home own
ers. But all the relief it provides to
the small home owner, who Is being
driven to the wall by the crisis, and
who is having his life savings wiped
out by bank noYtatoria and mortgage
foreclosures, is TO refinance his mort
gage so that his interest payments
will be reduced from 6 to 5 per cent,
The small home owners are being
crushed by mortgages. A real relief
program would provide for complete
cancellation. Roosevelt reduces the
burden from to per cent, and
guarantees the profits Of the rich in
vestors. This he calls . home relief
program. In reality, it Is direct aid

The Roosevelt government also has
proposed an issue Of two billion In
government farm-mortgage relief
bonds. These bonds will be exchange
able for farm mortgages. The hold
ers OF farm mortgages will be able
to turn In their frozen mortgages and
get in return guaranteed bonds. This
not only makes the government the
official collector Of the mortgages,
but the act is directly inflationary
because 1t is an artificial expansion
Of credit which will sooner or later
require expanded currency.
Meanwhile the insurance companies
have declared that they will no longer
permit loans ON the outstanding pol
icies, nor permit them to be turned
in for their cash value. Thus all the
time-worn arguments that have been
used to convince workers that the
cntrusting Of their savings in in
surance companies was absolutely
safe, have now proved to be fraud
ulent. The savings Of workers which
are now invested in insurance pol
isies are no longer convertible into

MORE PAPER AND
STILL LESS GOLD
Government Reduces
Gold Note Supply

WASHINGTON, d. c., pril IL
The government is making drastic
effort to reduce the supply OF gold
and gold certificates in circulation,
the total Of these two items being
$Teo,l34,8I7 on March 81 as COM
pared with $1,220, 90l ,7Ol at the end
Of February. While this process of
reducing the currency claims on the
gold supply continues, the supply Of
currency issued urder the new bank
acts is increasing. The supply of
Federal Reserve Bank notes showed
an increase of $2o,9s3, 1881 during the
month of March as compared with
81, 830,i40, a year ago.
These figures indicate that the fin
ancisl position Of the country is be-
coming less sound in spite Of the
bank moratorium and the embargo

Significant financial developments
have taken place in the last two days.
The Roosevelt administration, has
given definite indication that it Is
growing more inflationary. 1t has
also given official acknowledgment
that the bank crisis is not over. 1t has
proposed arm-mortgage and g. home
mortgage relief bills. 1t has proposed
a plan to insure" bank deposits OF
Federal Reserve banks. The sum total
of all the recent Developments Is that
the administration has definitely In
dicated that it is planning 10 COM
bine deflationary measures with an
initiation program.
The administration calls its pro-
posals recitation" But the essence
of it's acts is initiation. The essence
of the administration proposals is
a forced expansion of credit through
various financial and budget nianeu-
yerS.
The Roosevelt administration is
planning two billion dollar home
mortgage "relef" program. The bill
now before Congress provides for the
issue Of bonds through the Home
Loan Bank Board for refinancing prl-
vate mortgages on hones. 1t Is pro-
posed that the government guarantee
the interest but not the principal on
the proposed bonds which the govern
ment will issue. All insurance COM
.panies, banks, and mortgage COM
panies will be able to exchange their
present investments in mortgages on
private homes for government bonds,
The government will also sell the
bonds in the open market and use the
funds thus raised for refinancing
mortgages.
There are outstanding about nine
billion dollars worth OF mortgages on
homes. At present large per cent
age of these mortgages are In default.
In New York City, for example, more
than three billion dollars Of real e.
tate mortgages, over 70 per cent OF
the total held here, are in default.
The government plan is for the
purpose Of relieving the banks and
insurance companies Of their frozen
investments by giving them govern
ment bonds in exchange for which the
government will guarantee the inter
est payments. The government will
guarantee the income Of the invest
ors. The government thus steps in
and kindly takes over the losses OF
the bankers and rich investors. This
means that the people wiu have 10
