in Furniture Trade,
to Block Organization

ROCKFORD, Ill.-As a result
of low wages an intense speed up
system and long hours, from II
to IA daily, the furniture workers
of Rockford experienced a sponta-
neous mobilization during tn e
month of June. The shops of the
Winnebago Furniture Co., the Ma
tional Chair, and the Empire Fur
niture Co. went on strike. Some
increases were granted by all these
companies. But in the end, the
bosses retaliated by firing the mil
liant workers who led the strike.
The Industrial Union is organizing
a campaign to reinstate these
workers who helped the furniture
strikers to better their conditions.
The AFL burocracy here and its
new ally Adolf Germer are max
ing an attempt to thwart this move
and to institute their craft unions
into the furniture industry, The
workers of Rockford should be
on their guard against these mis-
leaders and to bring the militant
workers back on their jobs in the
name of solidarity.

State Convention
President Sullivan
Forgets His Pay
Cutting Policy

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. 27.-Full
support for Roosevelt's program was
the keynote Of the opening speech of
John Sullivan, president of the New
York State Federation of Labor, at
its 10th annual convention which
opened here today.
THE act has accomplished in a
few weeks what organized labor has
been trying to do in 40 years" said
Sullivan speaking of the MIRA.
Smashing down standards of living
breaking strikes through the national
arbitration board, were things Sui
Ivan omitted in his unrestrained
ballyhoo for the Roosevelt New Deal.
Sullivan said, II am proud that
labor, as always in the past, is doing
its part in the drive towards ma
tional industrial recovery"
The part Sullivan played in the
past was helping Hoover as well as
Roosevelt slash wages of New York
workers by so per cent.
Three hundred and fifty delegates
are present. Speakers for the day
included state government officials
who work closely with the A. F. of L
leaders.

and what Roosevelt and the press
try to hide is that the drive against
the living conditions of the workers
is getting stronger every day.
In these figures we can find the
real purpose and the actual result
of the Roosevelt program-the in
creasing of the profits of the capt.
talist class under the guise of better
ing the conditions of the workers.
Behind the exaggerated, reports of
temporary, artificially stimulated
spurts in production and employ
ment, lies the real, permanent rise
in the cost Of living. This goes on
without any interruption, long after
the Boom" in production has begun
to sink.
Behind the Roosevelt ballyhoo lies
the fiercest drive against the daily
living standards Of the working class.
The reality of the present situa-
ton is that the army of jobless is
still about the II million figure of
the early Spring. The Roosevelt in
fation squirt is beginning to collapse.
The re-hiring OF workers in the war
industries takes place under condi-
tions OF increased speed-up and wage
cuts.
All this found no place in the re-
ports of the Department of Labor.

Labor Department Figures Distorted to Give
Impression of Million New Jobs AS Lumber
and Textile Mills Close Down

the figure Of one and half million
increase are deliberately used to give
a false impression.
The million increase is supposed to
apply TO the last -four months. no
evidence is given to back up the
statement. 1t is merely arrived at by
some elaborate figuring with per-
centages, based on the assumption
that every worker who got job be-
ginning in March still has it, an as
sumption that all the latest reports
of steadily dropping business show
to be false.
IN the contrary, these small in
" creases in jobs took place during
the feverishly and artificially stimuli
ated imitation boom when the Roose-
welt government tried to stimulate
r~oduction solely on the basis of fear
Il rising prices-not on any increase
in real demand. This temporary, ar
tificial squirt is now quickly wearing
out. Production is starting to drop
again, and the few workers who
found jobs are beginning to lose them
again.
The latest facts prove this. From
the Southern textile mills where the
