No small part of the machinery to
put through the Industrial Recovery
slavery Act is the propaganda bu-
reau that General Johnson, com
mander-in-chi has created. War
time propaganda will be the guide.
The generals first radio speech on
the act is a splendid example of how
the Roosevelt regime is rewriting the
original Hoover campaign propaganda
about "a chicken in every pot and a
car in every garage"
Among the very first to be hired
by General Johnson we're a group of
advertising experts and newspaper
men TO fill the workers minds with
glowing hopes while their standard of
living was being lowered. At least
20 or 30 more newspaper men will
be hired to explain away $40 wage
levels and the disappearance of
Roosevelt's promises for unemploy-
i11ent relief.
The employers in each industry will
have an expert propaganda assigned
10 them TO help browbeat the work
ers. General johnson will assign a
publicity man to steel one TO copper,
one to coal. one to textile, and there
will be specialists to deal with labor
generally, with strikes, with helping
the company unions and the ALL.

LiVing Costs Shoot Up
19P.C.; Act AS Pay Cut
Initiation Will Bring Higher Cost of Living for
All American Workers

NEW YORK prices are
shooting up every week according to
the latest information published by
a business statistical organization
Dun and Bradstreets. Living costs
for the past week alone shot up near
~ per cent acting as an automatic
wage cut, under Roosevelts initiation
program, for nearly every worker in
the country.
The cost Of food, according to Dun
and Bradstreets, went up l9 per cent
over last year.
This shows in practice how the
Roosevelt scheme of raising prices for
the bosses will work. Since Roosevelt
came into power the workers have
had an underhanded wage cut of
nearly 19 per cent and the end is not
yet. Dun and Bradstreets statistics
show continuous rise in the food
and other living costs. This rise will
not only keep on, but the amount
each week will go higher.
The statement Of this business or
ganization said in part:
Wholesale food prices were sharp
ly higher last week according to Dun
g. Bradstreet. The weekly food index
prepared by this source stood at 81.
on June a. compared with $199 a
week earlier, a gain of rs per cent
The increase over the same date last
year is 81 cents, or 10 per cent"

One of the fairy stories Johnson
tells the workers is: THAT the ability
of the people to buy is greater than
the total cost Of what there is to SELL"
Slave Wages and. Empty Promises
The income of the workers has been
Slashed by more than half since the
onset of the crisis. Workers have
lost their paltry savings in bank
crashes. Roosevelt's slavery bill pro-
poses a lower standard of living for
the workers in order to raise profits
for the bosses.
To cover up the inconsistency of
his statement Johnson adds: I'VE
would just try to give every man back
a sufficient share of what he himself
produced to enable him to buy a
reasonable sliare of what all the rest
produced"
Let's see how this is working out,
not in the Generals radio speeches,
but on the class struggle battle line.
The very first code which johnson
got was in the textile industry which
set a wage of $40 for Southern tex
tile worker and S11 for Northern tex
tile workers. What can these work.
ers buy back with this magnificent
sum. leaving out of consideration the
number of unemployed? How many
automobiles can they buy? Can they
rent decent living quarters? Can they
even buy back sufficient textiles for
their own use? In the very first ex-

of the radio, or in the fairy story Ian

phrases of General Johnson turn sour.

terly job? The bosses. of course, john
son tells us. I'VE can tell you one
thing very definitely and surely-em-
ployers in this country want to do
this thing harder than they ever
wanted to do anything together and
is one big strong pull at any time in
this country since the war"
What do they want to do? To lis
ten to General Johnson's publicity
men, through the dulcet tones of the
General himself, you would think
that the only object in Rockefeller's,
Morgan's, Swope's life has been to
raise the standard of the American
workers living.
According to every fact, to every
step in this history of capitalism, the
primary, central and stimulating OBJ
jective of the capitalists has been to
increase their profits, to amasS great
er wealth in order to gain greater
profits. For this purpose they have
secured the world, enslaved whole
countries india, China, they have
carried on wars, snuch as the last i'm
perlalist war, not hesitating to
slaughter 100000 workers in order
to insure the profits of the Deter
dings, the Krupps, the Morgans, the
Rockefellers, Fords In the United
States they have slaughtered thou
sands of workers for the crime of
organizing and striking for the mer-
est pittance. When these fellows pull
together in the spirit as outlined by
General johnson it will be to pre-
serve capitalism and its blood suck
ing process of exploiting the workers,
to get out of the crisis in order to
preserve their system of exploitation,

Gen. Johnson Creates Propaganda Outfit for Slavery Bill

There were TO be no highfalutin'
theories, Johnson said.
From a reading of the first part
OF his broadcast the idea is gained
that the only purpose for the exist
ence Of capitalism is to see that every
body was fed and clothed properly,
and that it has only been due to
lack OF teamwork that this has not
been accomplished throughout its
long history.
The fact that 1900 900 workers are
unemployed, General johnson wants
the toiling masses to believe, is a
mere misunderstanding. The whole
thing is a moral mistake. ut doesn't
make sense. 1t is like fairy-book
story Of spell cast by black magic
over the palace of some Sleeping
Beauty
Then he proceeds to tell some more
fairy stries Morgan, Rockefeller,
Ford, as well as their lesser lights.
have been Shaving all these years SO
that the steel, oil and auto workers
can be properly fed They have done
plenty for the workers in the past,
but they will do more in the future.
With a million dollars income, for
example, Ford can't buy more than
$40 worth Of ham and eggs, johnson
says. You would think Ford's only
purpose in life is the eating of ham
and eggs. But Ford has over $780,
100000 in cash at hand, and a plant
worth around billion that was coin
ed out of the sweat and toll of tens
of thousands Of automobile workers
who are now starving. His purpose is
t continue wringing profits out of the
workers, not to provide them with
