rious strikebreaking firm, char
tered bus with scabs recruited in
Boston rolled up to the Grand Ho-
tel, 30th st. and Broadway, yes
terday. The strikebreakers were

WorlGCurrencyWar
Breaking Out Again
As Dollar Sinks
Bank of England Try
ing to Meet Increased
Attacks on Pound

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-Signs
that the international currency war
among the three rival impsrialist
powers, France, Britain, and the
United States are looming up again,
came to the fore today. The famous
British Equalization Fund with
which the Bank of England attempt
ed to fight the American deprecia-
ton of the dollar has been aban-
doned in the face of persistent SELL
ing of the dollar in the international
money markets. Britain had been
buying dollars to keep them from
sinking too low. The dollar dropped
to 60 cents for new low the other
day.
Following on this important de-
velopment, Norman Montague, head
of the Bank of England, arrived
here for conferences with Roosevelt
and leading government officials.
He is anxious to stop the American
attacks on the British pound. His
program of some sort of stabiliza-
ton at the London Economic Con-
ference was rudely brushed aside by
Roosevelt, who was unwilling to
surrender the advantages given to
American imperialism by a depreci-
ating dollar.
At the same time news comes
from France that France is face to
face with terrific budget crisis
that threatens to sweep the country
into some kind of inflationary med
ding with the currency, if not a de-
parture from the gold standard.

BY ROBERT MINOR
Communist Candidate for Mayor
of New York City

GROVER A. WHALEN, chairman Of
y the Presidents unemployment
Committee" clubber Of the unem-
ployed, strikebreaker and protector Of
underworld crime, now has exposed
the real intent concealed behind the
hypocrisy of the MIRA.
Whalen announced Saturday the
theory that, by suspending the oper-
alton of the antitrust act, the Ma
tional Recovery Act, suspends also
the right Of workers to picket. Any
workers whose proprietor has signed
the "Blue Eagle" agreement, and who
picket the plant, are criminals and
must be Jailed for interference with
the Presidents plan for National Re-
covery. The employer, according to
Whalen, abolishes the rights Of work.

THIS is return to the more con-

The fact remains: the open chal-
lenge to the right Of existence Of the
trade unions has been flung in the
face of New York workers.
We will meet it. 1t is not the first
time that the New York capitalist
class has used the Tammany scab
herder Whalen for the purpose Of
challenging their rights. In March,
1880, through the same Whalen as
Police CommissitAer, announced the
abolition of the right of New York
workers to use the streets for the
purpose of demonstrating their de-
mands for unemployment relief. The
New York workers met the challenge,
and after a bloody battle on Union
Square, established their right to the
streets. Also in this case, the New
York workers win meet and defeat

Production of Steel
Shows Sharp Drop for
3rd Consecutive Week

NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-For the
third successive week, the index Of
steel operations shows sharp
drop, the magazine steel" revealed
today. The index for this week
shows that the steel industry is now
operating at 48 per cent of capa-
city, compared with SO per cent three
weeks ago. The rate Of decline,
"Steel" points out, is unusually
swift, the decline taking place in a
straight downward line.
The cause for the drop in steel
operations is the complete failure
Of any demand from such basic
consumers as railroads, building
construction, etc. Auto demand for
steel Is also declining.

MoleyFiredBecause
of Hull'S Hostility,
Officials RumOr

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-With
Raymond Moley definitely out of
the political machinery at Washing
ton, it is now generally admitted
that it was the discord between Mo-
ley and Secretary of State Hull that
is at the bottom of the whole affair.
1t was recalled that friction be-
tween Hull and Moley existed from
the very start Of the London Eco
nomic. Conference.
Right after Hull had refused to
agree to any sterilization propos-
ais, Moley arrived with currency
plan which he proposed to the for
eign delegates without consulting
Hull. Roosevelt refused to accept
Moley's plan.
Hull is too powerful in the South
for Roosevelt to risk any serious
breaches in the Democratic Party.
Therefore, Moley had to go.
Essentially, Moley's policies are
not very different from the domi-
nant Roosevelt policies at the pres
ent moment.

are being draStlcally reduced, the
report shows. Tennessee, for ex-
ample, has recently cut its relief
appropriations about so per cent.
Colorado, Idaho and Rhode Island
showed relief cuts almost as large.
These sharp reductions in relief
have been made under the pretext
that all who have been cut off have
received new jobs. Even official gov
eminent figures, however, indicate
that during the last month, the Pc
Rod when 100000 workers we're
taken off the relief lists, hardly $780,
900 workers got new jobs. And these
figures do not indicate how long
these jobs have lasted. Many jobs on
the official lists no longer exist, as
a result of the growing collapse of
the recent inf1ationary "boom' in
production.
Navy Gets Money
These extraordinary cuts in relief
to starving workers and their fam
lilies take place simultaneously with
an enormous increase in the expen-
ditures for the Army and Navy, and
with an increase of R. F. G. loans to
banks and insurance companies.
No Public Works Jobs
Director of Public Works Ickes has
authorized the Navy $238,000,000 for
the building of new battleships and
destroyers. In an effort to conceal
the failure of the Roosevelt job-giv-
ing program, Ickes yesterday re-
peated his call for the speeding up of
public works, but thus far, the only
successful bidders for public works
funds have been the militarists of
the Navy. Hardly half of the $3,000,-
100000 allotted for public works has
been expended so far. The Roosevelt
administration during the elections
had made much of its promised
$4,000 100000 public works program
as a method of creating new jobs.
The nationwide reductions in re-
lief are in harsh contradiction to the
$500, 100000 appropriation made by
the recent Congress, supposedly for
relief. Little of this money has gone
into relief so far
Reports of social service experts
from all over the country indicate an
extraordinary increase in the suffer-
ings of the unemployed workers.
1t Is obvious that the slight in
crease in employment has been used
all over the country as an excuse for
sweeping cuts in relief payments for
over million jobless workers and
their families.
AS result Of these cuts in relief
workers in many cities have devel-
oped increasing resistance to the
reductions in relief, and have or
ganized many determined struggles
for increased relief and unemploy-
ment insurance. Led by the Unem-
ployed Councils, they have, in vari-
Gus instances, succeeded in getting
the reductions withdrawn These
mass struggles of the workers before
relief bureaus and city halls alone
can stop the relief cuts.
The obvious policy of the Govern
ment is to doom the many millions
of obless workers to starvation.
Against this the fight for unemploy-
ment insurance must be waged with
greater energy than ever before.

Food Prices Advanced
2 Percent This Month;
Is Percent Since April

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The
cost of everyday food necessities
throughout the country leaped an
other 2 per cent during the first
three weeks of August, the United
States Labor Department reported
today.
This is on top of the 8 per cent
increase in the price of bread,
milk, eggs, butter, etc., which took
place during July.
Food prices are now 18 per cent
above the food prices of April, hav-
ing shown continuous advance
since Roosevelt took office.

AL Heads Fearful
6 Arrests Bare NRA.
AS Strikebreaking
Green Says It's Not
Right and Can't
Be Sustained

WASHINGTON, Aug 28.-SWash-
buckling Grover A. Whalen has
trampled on hornets nest in arrest
shoe strike pickets in New York, and
the A. F. of L. leaders here, support
ing the N. R. A, are running helter-
SAelter to escape being stung.
In carrying out the purposes of the
N. r. A., Whalen began his attack
on militant unions which are at pres
ent leading strikes against N. R. A.
codes and for higher wages, that
have Communist leadership in some
cases.
His first step was to arrest pickets
in order to make a test case looking
to the complete outlawing of picket
ing, and ultimately the right to
strike of all workers under the N.
r. A.
william Green, to save the work
ers' illusions in the N. R. A., and
to hide his own strikebreaking activ-
tiles on the National Arbitration
Board, issued a statement today
against the arrests
THAT position" said Green, "re-
ferring to the arrest of the New York
shoe pickets, Gin my judgment, is
wrong and cannot be sustained"
Green, Whalen Agree
Green, whose views on the N. r. A
are not one jot different from those
of Whalen's, however fears exposure
of the A. F. of L. leadership's sub
mission to open shop codes at the
present time.
The arrest of the New York pickets
on Whalens order is recognized here
as no local issue. Green and the
Labor Advisory Board know that it
will rally hundreds of thousands of
workers behind the New York unions,
and the right of all workers to picket,
and may be powerful lever in ex-
posing the real intent of the N. r. A.
They feel Whalen has Numbered in
too openly exposing his hand.
In an effort to overcome this
move, Green has asked the Labor
Advisory Board to consider this case
eve have no sympathy for Com
munists," said Green, restraining
himself. "But the principal is highly
important
Green knows that the Commu-
nists and the militant unions are de-
Tending the workers right to strike
and picket. He is thoroughly in favor
of Whalen's anti-red drive.
Coming to the support of Green
Donald Richberg, Counsel for the
N. R. A, and an old hand at labor
fakery, said:
"Curbstone opinion at the N. R. A
challenged Mr.. Whalenis contention
that guarantee of the rights of labor
under the Clayton Antitrust act
are affected by the N. R. A. Anti
trust restrictions are lifted only for
the formulation of industrial codes
and do not touch the rights of labor
BY this statement, Richberg in
directly admitted that the Commu-
nists were defending the rights OF
labor. Whalen insists that he Is
acting properly under the N. r. A.
An important omission of Green
is the fact that Matthew VOL, vice.
president Of the A. F. of L., is the
chief labor advisor of Whalen on the
New York N. R. A. committee. The
move to arrest strike pickets was
taken after a conference with
Wha1en and high A. r. of L. officials
close to William Green.

killing of breeding .sows.
Roosevelt's Secretary of Agricul-
ture, Wallace, is now putting into
effect the Governments plan to

the pig surplus The Government
is setting aside $55,00o,000 collected

slaughtered animals.
Planned destruction of cotton and

critically, in an explosion today,
which wrecked a still in the refinery
of the Standard Oil Company. The
