The leaders of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor have shifted a num-
Der of times on the question of IN
employment Insurance. Not that
they have changed their position
What they have done is adopt their
program to the needs of the CAPT
talist class.
On September 8, 1882, Green said,
1--WE found that constitutional in
hibitions would bar federal unem-
ployment insurance law. We wanted
federal law but have abandoned
the project. We will seek enactment
of state laws throughout the
Union" This was clearly to break
unified movement for federal I'M
employment insurance.
In October, 1882, the Cincinnati
convention of the A. F. Of l.. voted
to favor Unemployment Insurance
This was done with the intent Of
forestalling the growing movement
of the rank and file which was seer
at its conference held in the same
city at the same time.
On May 81 1882, William Green
shouted his approval of Roosevelt;
Industrial Recovery Bill. He said
1.-THE bill is appropriately termed ar
Industrial Recovery measure. 1t i:

According TO the young workers
the public announcements that they
are planting trees is a fraud. Actu-
ally they have displaced other work
ers in clearing land and making
preparations for building new roads.
The only difference is that now it is
done at a dollar a day at forced la
Dor conditions.
Most of the recruits here call it
"Roosevet's chain gang" They are
kept under strict military rule in do
ing their work AS in all camps the
main complaint is the rotten food
given them.
One of the workers in the camp
explained the daily routine. At 5:45
a. m. every one must get up. At 6
is roll call just as in the army. Any
one failing to appear on time is fined
dollar which amounts to a days
pay. At half past six is breakfast
And in half an hour everyone as
senbleS for work.
Work lasts until IL o'clock with
only half an hour for lunch. Lunch
consists of a cheese and boloney
sandwich and hard boiled egg, the
same being given every day.
At four o'clock work is over but nc
supper until six Exhausted from the
days work the two hours waiting
for supper are usually spent sleeping
The total number who have become
sick since reaching camp is not re-
ported. Some have had to be sent tc
the West Point hospital while every
one has lost weight as a result Of the
grinding work.
If it was not the threat that theil
parents will loose relief many woulo
have quit the camp. Discomfort has
reached a point where last week q
strike took place during the lunch
hour demanding better food
Though these two militant young
workers were eliminated in order tx
stop discomfort, the majority in tn,
camp have shown sympathy witt
them.

striving to link up the actions of the

it is necessary to form committees

ance, committees Of unity, including
the employed workers and the un-

such district committees, according
to the decisions of 1881, wide COM

for social insurance, to eliminate its
sectarian aloofness from the work
ing masses, to strengthen and extend
its contacts with the native Amer
lean workers in the big enterprises
in the basic branches of industry, to
strengthen and enlarge the Party
basis in the factories, to draw all the
militant cadres which are growing up

(ConclusiOn)

Editors Note:-Herewith Is the
concluding section of the article by
comrade Gusev on '0The Tasks OF
the Communist Party of the U. s. A.
in the Struggle for Social Insurance"
Two previous instalments appeared
in the Daily Saturday and yesterday.
In previous sections of the articles
Gussev pointed to the tagging of the
Communist Party in mObilizing the
masses in the struggle for Social In
surance. The maneuyers of the bour-
geOisie for the "3O-hour week." "Un-
employment Insurance" are an effort
TO divert the movement from ge-
nuine struggle for social insurance.
This is seen in the Wisconsin Bill
which has now been shelved until
1896.
Especially is it necessary to expose
the maneuvers Of the sOciaI-fascists.
They carry on activity with the in
tent of splitting the working class
movement.

In the past campaign for social
insurance, the Communist Party
made a series of mistakes, disclos-
ing flippant, thoughtless approach
to it, and failure to understand its
central and decisive importance. This
failure stubbornly maintains itself
in the Party despite series of most
categorical instructions on the cen
trail Importance of the campaign.
The draft insurance Bill was worked
out by the Party from above, and
not presented to the workers for dis
cussion. This draft has been changed
three times After the changing of
the draft at the Cincinnati confer
ence with the participation of the
representatives of the local branches
Of the A. F. of L., the original draft
of the Bill was presented to Congress
during the national hunger march:
while the new draft was presented to
the convention of the A. r. of L.,
which inevitably brought confusion
into the minds of the workers.
The Party did not consider it nee
essary to popularize the contents of
its draft among the workers, The
leading comrades, and our press, were
content with bare statements that
the Communist Party is in favor of
social insurance against unemploy-
ment at the expense of the CAPT
talists and the government,
Party Press Not Alert
When the social-fascists dnclud-
ing the Musteites) following the ex-
ample of the Communist Party, be-
gan to put forward their own pro-
iects for bills, the Party and its press
paid very little attention 10 masking
detailed examination Of these bills,
and did not Systematically expose
them TO the workers, in spite Of
