In some states in America we have
a semblance of accident insurance, in
the form Of workmen's compensation

His widow gets couple of thousand
dollars from the company which has

find some grounds on which to evade

accident because he was not just
then doing his regular work, or some

If John is only crippled, the law
provides In some states that the COM

NRA Company Unions

IN TODAY'5 issue Of the Daily Worker we print
figures showing the tremendous increase in company
unions, stimulated by the MIRA
per cent increase the number of workers forced into
company unions. The greater portion of these were
driven into these company organizations after the
passage of the MIRA.
Some very important conclusions must be drawn
from these figures.
The development of company unions under the
MA. has gone faster than the increase in the
membership Of the A. F. of L. In 1882, the A. p
Of L. officials reported 2,532O0O members; in 1888
100000. In 1882, there 100000 in company
unions; in 1888, 100000
Even in some industries where the r. OF L,
leaders actually claim members Weirton Steel Budd
Auto, Ford Chester and Edgewater plants, company
unions have been established by the NRA strike
breaking
The growth of the A. r. of L., and the more rapid
forced growth of company unions, raises some de-
cisive questions for the American workers in their
struggles against the slave conditions of the NRA
THE rise in company unonksn Is closely tied up with
the actions of the A. F. Of L. oficialdom in sup
porting the NRA. and in their whole policy Of strike
breaking. Both the A. F. of L. bureaucracy and the
company unions represent for the enslayement
OF the workers, for the carrying through of the en-
pIoyers program
In propaganda against the company unions
it's Of the greatest importance to show how the

in Fukien. "Izvestia," official organ
of the Soviet Government, declared:
1.-THE formation OF the new govern
ment, and the anxiety caused by this
event In Marking, Canton, and Peip-
ing, bear witness to the increasing
instability of the Kuomintang reac-
ton The politicians of the new
Fukien Government represent bloc
of several groupings, originating from
the same camp as the Marking and
Canton rulers. Whatever radical
slogans the Fukien Government may
advance, it cannot have anything in
common with the really revolutionary
movement in China. That number
of the leaders Of the Chinese bour-
geoisie promise compensatory redi-
vision of land, or the liberty to strike,
merely shows that they are afraid of
the masses, and conscious to the ex-

Social Insurance What 1t Means to Workers in the USSR

likely to ever be any any more, in
the Soviet Union. The reason is that
there can't be any industrial crisis
because the millionaire class, the
class of capitalists, the class which
owned for living instead Of work
ing for living, got run out of the
country or put to work, 16 years ago.
without an owning class, draw
ing profits and Cutting the mark
cts with the surplus goods repre-
scented by those profits, surplus in
the sense that no worker or farmer
has the money to buy them, you
can't have an industrial crisis.
without this, or an industry grow
ing much too slowly for the coun-
try, you can't have unemployment.
Neither of these conditions prevails
in the Soviet Union.
But, social insurance is more than
just unemployment insurance, as we
showed in America when we wrote
into the Workers Unemployment In
surance Bill some casual phrases
about old age, sickness, accident and
maternity insurance. We never really
thought much about these matters,
for they were totally overshadowed
In Importance by the necessity of
terrific struggle for the right Of the
100000 jobless to get sufficient
dole to live on.

Compen S a tion for
Workers a Farce
in u. S. A.
BY yERN SMITH

MOSCOW, U. S. S. r. (By MaiD -
When left America we had three
and a half years Of bitter struggle
for social insurance. There had been
hunger marches, by cities, by coun-
ties, by states and two great marches
OF delegates Of the unemployed from
every state upon the national capt.
tai. There had been countless skir-
nlishes with police, daily, almost
hourly battles by workers resisting
eviction from their homes while I'M
employed. And this fight is still go
ing on, a struggle of hundreds of
thousands, for the right of 100000
unemployed workers to get even the
beginnings of social nsurance-!which
they don't have at all in any form
In the United States.
The editor of the Daily Wotker
gave me instructions to study social
insurance In the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics.
Well, the first thing Is that our
main demands in America are of
purely academic interest here. For
our main demand, what in America
is the very essence of social insur-
ance, is unemployment insurance.
No Unemployed In U. S. S. r.
Unemployment insurance hasn't the
slightest Importance to g. factory
worker in the Soviet Union today
because there Just isn't any unem-
ployment for him. In mills, mines,
railroads, marine transport, light or
heavy industry or any other kind Of
industry, no one who wants to work
need be without job. In fact when
a factory OF prime importance to the
needs of the whole country is started
up, or increases its size and there
fore its need for workers, it actually
has TO go out and make a series Of
treaties with the collective farms or
other institutions to have some of
their workers recruited for work in
the new plant. This happens all the
time on q gigantic scale here.
There isn't any unemployment,
hasn't been any for years, and isn't
