Raleigh Gets All Blame
for the Muskrat Scourge

Although Sir Walter Raleigh, the
transitory fayorite of Queen Eliza
beth, still has the honor of having in
troduced tobacco in England. he
should, in the opinion of the curator
Of mammals of the London zoo. also
have the dishonor of having intro
duced the muskrat, which is the
scourge of the agricultural districts
of the British Isles.
From a certain odoriferous gland
possessed by this animal. to which it
owes its name, as well as from its
pelt, Raleigh expected to make Tor
tune on account of its rapid breeding
qualities. Unfortunately for his aspi-
rations, it took just four centuries for
the muskrat to become thoroughly ac-
climated. so its natural proclivities for
perpetuating itself became at all evil
dent. Then they became manifest in
a way they never had in the New
world whence they came.

Federation Leader
By MILTON HOWARD

With eager loyalty the labor buro-
Gratis of the A. F. of L. are rushing
to the aid of the imperialist Roose-
welt government in its attempt to
fasten upon the American working
class the shackles of the National
Industry Recovery Bill"
They have just issued widely
publicized statement asserting that
since March, the month of Roose-
velt's Inauguration, over 100000
workers have found jobs. They state
that the steady and continuous
growth in the army of unemployed
during the last four years has at last
come to an end, and that workers
are now beginning to return to
work.
This statement is timed to appear
at the very moment when the en-
ployers are organizing monopoly
groups to cut down employment by
speed-up, to slash wages under the
guise of minimum wage contracts,
and to stagger employment by the
introduction of the 30-hour week. 1t
is timed to give the illusion of fast
returning prosperity so as to quiet
the resistance of the workers to the
latest attack on their living stan
dards.

Red Square was filed to overflow

A hush fell over the square when
the pallbesrers appeared carrying q
canopy shaped bier. flower laden,
with small urn containing the
ashes.
A military guard from the Rec
Army lined the route from the Hall
Of Columns to Red Square, adding
to the solemnity of the scene.
Resting the bier near Lenin's rnau-

farewell to the leader who fought the
most valiant fight for half cen

employment beginning to recede?
Let US see.
In the first place, the figures of
the A. F. of l.. have always been
VIGOROUSLY biased in favor of the
bosses. Whenever possible, the stat
isticians of the A. F. of l.. have
always tried to support the position
of the employers. A notorious exam
pie is in the matter of unemployment
figures.
At time when the most conser-
vative Of capitalist statisticians adj
mitted the existence Of at least
100000 unemployed workers, at
time when the 100000 estimate of
the Labor Research Association was
confirmed by leading capitalist eco
nomic organization the Alexander
Hamilton Institute, the A. F. Of L.
came to the support of the Hoover
and Roosevelt governments by in
sisting that there were only 12,000,-
900 unemployed.
The latest report of the A. F. of L.
faithfully continues this policy of
assisting the capitalist government
and the bosses against the workers.
The latest estimates of the A. F..
Of l.. are wholly distorted to hide
the real state Of affairs.
They give no sources for their in
formation. The statement is full Of
vague phrases, such a. ''it is re-
ported" or "it N said r. ut 10

their figures include the forced labor
recruits Of the reforestation camps
as being employed" workers. There
are at least 100000 of such Jobs"
The A. F. of l.. estimates also in
clude the workers who will be hired
to build battleships and bombing
planes in accordance with Roose-
velt's gigantic naval construction
program. Even the Secretary of the
Navy, Swanson, has admitted that
not more than $4,000 workers will be
hired in this way. Yet the labor
bureaucrats of the A. F.. of L. not
only whoop with glee at the return
of prosperity by the new jobs" thus
created, but in this way actually give
support to the whole naval construc-
ton program.
The report makes much of the fact
that few thousand small politicians
will get jobs as inspectors in the
new acreage-reducing program of
the Roosevelt administration. This
is also hailed as the return of pros
perity, as the end of the capitalist
curse of unemployment! It is really
surprising that the A. T. of L. does
not hsil the hiring Of life-savers for
the summer beaches as the end Of
unemployment
Permanent Unemployment

this A. r. Of T. report is section

proposals.
The statement bluntly stated that
"stabilization was never an affair of
the delegation" and that any at
tempt to peg currency at a given
level was 'untimely."
Continuing the statement said
'The reason why IL is ccnsid-
cred untimely Ia because the Am
erican government feels that it's
efforts to raise prices are the most
important contribution 1t can
make and that anything that
would interfere with those efforts
and possibly cause y violent price
recession would harm the confer
ence more than the lack Of an i'm
mediate agreement for temporary
stabilisation."
This is clearly seen as continue
ton of the policy of the Roosevelt
administration OF raising prices at
home, and beating down the dollar
in relation TO other currencies so it
can dump its surpluses on the world
market at cut-throat prices.
Sees Conference Definitely Crippled.
That the journey Of Professor
Raymond T. Moley, personal repre-
sentative of President Roosevelt, is
to further carry forward this defiant
challenge OF American imperialism,
is now clear TO all.
Today's stand of the American
delegation was met with rage by
delegates of other countries, espe-
cially France, who realize that the
franc is endangered and it is only
a question of short time when
France will be forced to abandon the
gold standard as measure Of self
defense if it is to hold any place
in the world market. The delegates
all realize that the conference will
remain in crippled condition and
probably adjourn soon after Moley's
arrival.
Dollar Sinks to New Low.
The reaction OF the dollar on all
International money markets was
swift and its descent rapid. With
in two hours it had gone to $4.A to
the pound, a record price for the
pound since England abandoned the
gold standard in 1881. England
currency then deprecated to about
1925, which gave England an advan-
tage in the world market. Much of
this advantage has already been
wiped out. If the dollar sinks to
$4.86 it will completely wipe out all
such gains for Britain.

WEALTHY JURORS
ACQUIT MITCHELL
Bankers Delighted AS
Decision SetsPrecedent
for Tax Evasions

NEW YORK, June "A Jury of
well-to-do contractors and business
men today acquitted Charles e. Nit
chell, former president of the Ma
tional City Bank, of the charge Of
having defrauded the United States
government of income taxes The de-
cision came after IS hours of deliber-
alton.
1t was clearly shown that Nit
chelI had sold" stock to his wife
in ordew w be able to show a "loss"
of $685., 66S. 1t was also shown that
there was mistake" in the
bankers books which turned the fig
ure 3,24o,000 into 100000 by the
omission of the figure "3". 1t was
shown that Mitchell took Toss"
of $758,000 on a sale Of stock TO
his friend, w. D. Thornton. The total
losses" from these sales permitted
Mitchell to escape paying income
taxes on an income Of over $500, 600
for the two years following the stock
crash. Mitchell admitted all this.
: It is now admitted that the Nit
chel decision will make it difficult
to convict hundreds of millionaires
who also escaped income taxes by
establishing losses" through stock
sales to friends or their families.
Mitchell was head of the National
City Bank, which, investigation dis
closed, caused its customers to lose
millions OF dollars in fraudulent
transactions. For example, the Ma
tional City Bank sold $so,O00,00o of
Peruvian bonds knowing that the
Peruvian government was bankrupt
at the time the bonds were sold.
The officials of the National City
Bank used the banks deposit funds
as security for their own stock specu-
lations. Neither Mitchell nor the
banks officers have been indicted for
any of these practices, although,
legally, they are criminal offenses.
Mitchells attorney, Steuer, claimed
that Mitchell established these loss
es' to save the "honor Of his en-
ployees" and to keep up the market
price of the Banks stock so that the
employees who had bought the stock
at enormous stockholm prices would

Horton read from a prepared

circumstances it was necessary to

and Osmond K. Fraenkel of New
York, appeared in court to demand d
new trial for Patterson.
That this tremendous victory in
forcing the setting aside Of the YER
dict and the ordering of new trial
for Haywoo3 Patterson is a direct
consequence Of the I. L. D. expose
OF this hideous frams-up, is proven
by the fact that when the jury
brought in the verdict against Pat
terson, Judge Horton refused the
defense motion to dismiss the case.
Judge Horton did not set the date
for the new trial Just when this
new trial will he ordered in yieuy of

tions there would be several million

would not have to be eliminated in
order to restore normal prosperity
This is an admission that even NOR
NAL prosperity" will not restore mil
lions of unemployed to work. And
since this normal prosperity" will
never return, the statement is really
an admission that the majority of
the present army of 100000 job
less will never again find work under
capitalism.
BY stating that the increase" in
employment does not necessarily
mean an increase in buying power,
the A. F. of L. indirectly admits that
whatever new jobs have been Gre
ated have been at sharply reduced
wages.
Thus, the A. F. of L. shouting
about the final stop to the growth of
unemployment is nothing but the
sales talk of hired statesmen for
Roosevelt's Industrial Recovery
Act.
But the millions Of unemployed
workers are still johless. They are
still starving.
