BANKS COMMONLY
FAKE STATEMENT,
us. OFFICIAL SAYS
Government Knew of
Bank Frauds Almost a
Year Before Prosec-
uting

WASHINGTON, June n. The
making Of false entries in bank
statements is a common practice.
the Senate Banking and Finance
Committee was told by Nugent
Dodds, Assistant Attorney General
under Hoover, and now of the De-
partment of Justice. The Federal
bank examinations are "desultory and
innocuous," he said, and didn't mean
anything.
This testimony was elected from
Dodds during the course Of the pres
ent investigation now going on into
the frauds committed by leading Off
Gals of N. Y. Hartman bank.
Government Delayed Prosecution
1t was brought out at the inquiry
that the United States officials knew
, in July 1882 that Hartman, the
president Of the bank, was using the
depositors' funds for his own private
spee3llatiens IT was shown that the
government decided to close its eyes
to these criminal practices in order
to avert bank crisis" 1t was not I'M
til January of this year that the gov
eminent made public its informa zion
about the swindles going on in the
Hartman bank. And it was not until
March ID, that indictments were
handed down.
Frances Williamson, Vice President
of the bank testified that he soil
cited new depositors accounts after
he knew of the fact that the &C
counts were being raided by the
banks officials.
How the government protects the
powerful bankers was shown by the
testimony of U. S. Attorney Medalie,
who said that the suggestion that
he go slow on the Hartman prose
cutions came from the United States
Treasury office.
DoddS testified that it was not un-
usual for Senators to ask that the
Treasury go slow on the prosecution
Of bank officials caught mishandling
funds. One of the members of the
present investigating Committee, Sc
nator Hastings of Delaware. admitted
to INDUCING in this practice.
Meanwhile the trial OF Hartman
has again been postponed indefi-
nitely.

FIGHT SIGNING
PAUPER'S OATH
State Act Denying
Jobless Right To Vote
Causes Strike Plan

VIRDEN. Ill-At a mass meeting
Of 400 miners, held here on June 81
it was decided to take immediate
steps against the signing of affida-
Wits which make the unemployed
paupers. 1t was decided to strike
against the signing of these papers.
In order to see that no one signs
there papers, picketing will begin at
the relief station
Fight Paupers' Act.
This action is a part Of the state
wide campaign against the Pauper
Act, which denies the unemployed
the most elementary rights. Under
this act an unemployed person can
be denied the right to vote the right
to join an organization which fights
for more relief, the right to give
bail.
In Nakomis, Ill, four families have
been cut off relief because they gave
bail for Zip Kochinski, leader of the
unemployed in Illinois. The super
visor claimed that these families
could not go bail because they are
paupers. Mass meetings are being
arranged to force the relief authori-
ties to place them back on relief.

their commodities. In other words,
the bosses cannot sell their goods be-
cause the people have no money
with which to buy them.
The 100000 unemployed were
thrown out of work for precisely this
reason. Great quantities Of goods
which the workers shaved to produce
had accumulated. They could not be
sold. The workers we're never paid
enough wages to buy back but a very
small part of it. The capitalists
could not go on producing at profit.
There was oyerproduction i'll this
sense.
This has been going ON for nearly
four years, and now the bosses are
attempting to squirt up production.
But they hit against this obstacle,
caused by exploitation Of the lack of
profitable markets, due to the pow
erty of the masses. They rush into
a further condition Of overproduction
which will throw still more out of
work. They try to solve this crisis by
filling the warehouses with still more
goods, which the impoverished masses
are unable to buy
Over 60 years ago, Karl Marx
characterized overproduction under
capitalism as follows:

Got Money After Banks Closed
Later in the investigation. another
sensation was sprung when it was
testified by Herbert Wilkin, general
manager of the Guardian National
Bank now bankrupt, that even after
the Governor Of the State had closed
the DetToit banks to the small de-
positors. over 100000 in checks
were cashed for special persons with
influence. This is supposed to be a
criminal offense
It was also shown that the banks
in which Jones had personal inter-
ests received loans of $470o0,oo0 from
the r. F.. G.
In 1925, Jones, recently chosen by
Roosevelt to be Chairman OF the R.
F. O., applied for permission to sell
$4,000 900 worth of securities. AL
though he was given permission to
sell only 100000 worth, he actu-
ally sold 100000. All of these
securities are now worthless.
Later, the Prudence Company Of
New York, company with which
Jones has connections, got loan Of
$35 600 900 from the r. F. G. Will
kins charged that Jones and his as
sociates made enormous profits in all
these deals, loading all their worth

Fight for Auto Industry.
Behind the struggle for the control
of the Detroit banks, which leaped
into the open with the crash of the
Detroit Guardian National group, is
the fight between the Ford Motor
Co. and the General Motors Co.,
backed by Wall Street bankers, for
the domination of the automobile in
dustry.
Since 1928, General Motors has
pushed ahead to the dominating posi-
ton in the industry, now controlling
40 per cent against Ford's control of
about 25 per cent.
Ford's powerful cash position Chis

Gently investigated the Morgans.
As the fight between the two pow
erful capitalist groups goes on, they
both are instituting terrific speed-up
among the auto workers in their eff
forts to strengthen their profits and
their financial position. The fight
between Wall Street and Ford is a
fight as to who can reap the great
est profits from the workers in the
auto industry.

Rise in Production Is
Leading to Stocking
Up of Goods

THE DAILY WORKER has shown
in previous issues that the present
rise in production in various indus
tries meant not an overcoming of the
crisis, but an intensifying of the I'M
DERIVING causes Of the crisis.
For example, Eugene M. Lokey, a
leading financial writer for the New
York Times. hints at some of these
factors. which, precisely because OF
the rise. will make for further unem-
ployment. He says:
Serious difficulties In the prac-
tical application of the National
Industria, Recovery Act are already
seen. One point of apprehension
Is that industry may shortly find
itself so greatly overproduced, as
result OF advance expansion, that
activity may be temporarily para
Iyzed. Undoubtedly many manu-
featuring enterprises have been en-
gagged recently in race TO enlarge
their inventories before the more
controversial features of the recoy-
cry program, including wage in
creases and shorter work week,
can be put into effect. There is a
fear that when this preliminary
rush is over, operations will shrink
sharply.
AFTER nearly four years OF crisis
a he speaks about industry being
"overproduced" What does he mean
by this? Does it mean that the
i7,oOooOO unemployed will have more
than they want TO eat, more than
enough clothing, or shelter? Moth
ing OF the kind. Overproduced, or
overproduction under capitalism,
means that goods have piled UP and
a market cannot be found in which

themselves.
That is how they expect to get
out of the crisis by lowering the
workers living standards But here
in lies the contradiction: they mar
row down still more the ability of
the masses to buy, while at the same
time they produce more goods.
THE industrial slavery act proposes
1 to set a starvation level for work
ers' wages, and then proceed to kite
up the bosses prices. If this alone
will not work, new DOSES OF imitation
will be injected. The spread between
the cost Of living and the wages
received by the workers will grow
greater intensifying the crisis. The
new phase Of overproduction, which
is now heralded as the end of the
crisis, will lead to further unemploy-
ment, further misery for the work
ers.
II is for these reasons that the
workers cannot accept the program

higher wages to meet the present
