W. Brown, international Vice Pres

of the N.R.A. Bill and President

The meeting was opened for aues-
tions and discussion. A question
was asked how initiation would af-
feet the workers. The question was
evaded. Another question was
asked, "What is meant by class
struggle" The speaker asked the
questioner if he was a Communist
and he admitted he was. Ignoring
the question completely, he entered
into a TRADE against the Commu.
nists as disruptors of the labor
movement and being against all or,
rani=ed labor. He demanded that
the questioner leave the hall be-
cause he was "an enemy of organ.
lied labor" He said he would al
low only questions favorable to the
NRA Bill.
He then asked SIS initiation fee
and nobody responded, so he asked
the crowd to show their good inten-
ton to sign and pay 81 down. This
shows how the takers of the A. F.
of l.. work. 1t should be lesson
to all class-conscious workers
Wherever there is meeting, there
workers should turn out in masses
and expose these takers which are
tools for the capitalist society.

held in Washington, October 2nt,
the A. F. Of T.. announces that it is
setking to rally its whole oreaniza-
ton behind the NRO and the Roose-

State conventions already show
ed the trend of the national con-
ventiol. The New York and Mas
achusttts state A. F. of L. annual
gatherings were used to help the
bosses beat back organization and
strikes for higher wages.
"All classese of workers are in
spirtd to hope and trust that the
primary purpose of the NRA to
reduce unemployment and increase
purchasing power through in
creases in wage rates will be fully
realized" says the call.
On the very day that William

signed the open shop auto code,
| he also signed the call Tor the
A. F. OF l. convention reading:
employers are forbidden tC
make membership in a company
union a condition of employment.
The auto code provides that thu
bosses can reject or accept indi
vidual workers or any ground.
| Government officials will be mo
bilized to appear at the conven
ton to ballyhoo the workers init

Provide SIP to SIS
Minimum Pay

WASHINGTON, D. c.. August
2S.-Although public utilities CON-
panies are pillng up millions in
profits and are being dubbed "de-
pression-p proof" even by official
investigating committees. they arc
offering a code to the NRA calling
for S12 to SIS minimum wage
for the workers in the industry
according to the size of COM
munity. The work week is set
for 40 hours.
The power trust has proposed
that its own organization, the Ed
ison Electric Institute administer
the electric power and light code
and makes no provision for work
ers' representation.
The code also calls for the pay
ment of so per cent of the mini
mum for learners which allows the
companies a loophole for lowering
wages even more.
General Hugh Johnson Is re-
ported as having accepted the new
schedule proposed in the place of
the blanket code thus enabling
these powerful exploiters to lower
the $14.40 wage level supposed to
be allowed by the blanket code.

Small Retailers See
Extinction by Big
ChainsUnderC Codes

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Speak-
ing before retail groups assembled to
diccuss the proposed retail codes,
Censral johnson of the NRA Ad-
ministraticn tried to comfort the
hundreds CT small retail business
men who said they expected that the
spplication CT the codes would put
them out Of business.
johnson also tired to assure the
retail merchants OF protection
against the resentment of the peo-
pie when the expected sharp in
creases in prices cccurc.
Referring to his original idea of
hoycc.t'ng retail storez, Johnrcn in
sisted thc5 the MIA administration
would not tolerate any boycotei1g or
violence against merchant specu-
lators.
In line with Johnson's speech, the
Federal Government issued a warn
ing that the consumers had no right
to Judge the actions of the retail
merchants, that only the government
authorities had that power. .
The proposed ccGe5 sugge-t MN
imum wage of Sl4 week in la~Tc
cities, and s12 in smaller towns. In
Southern states further reduction
OF ST is permitted.
Wage increases of 20 per cent are
ordered wherever it is necessary to
bring the wage up to, the required
MINIMUM of SO in the towns. But
in no case is the increase to bring
tie wage to higher than s1l a week,
making it clear that the NRA code
min,mur1.s are intended to be the
maximum as we'll.
The Federal Government has al
ready resolved thousands of COM
plants from small retailers who can
no longer meet the competition OF
the biz chain stores as result OF
the restrictions of the codes. These
complaints lend strength to the

the general strike of cigar makers
here. The police within the last 10

were taken for a ride" and badly
beaten. Two Party members were
forced to leave the clcy.
A regular man-hunt is on for
those prominent in the strike. And,
as usual, the southern lynchers are
most savage in their treatment Of
Negroes.
Having thus terrorized the work
ers, the bosses were able to impose

was adopted, but there was no in
