SAY RECOVERY
is NO LONGER
EXPERIMENT
Two Million People AL
ready Put Back To Work
Under Its Term

WASHINGTON, Sept. /. (UP)
The Roosevelt recovery program
has passed the experimental stage
and ''is actually working in most
of our largest cities and in thou
sands of smaller cities" Recovery
Administrator Hugh S. Johnson
said last night in a speech deliv-
cred in his office, carried by tele-
phone to Detroit and amplified
there at the motor city's Blue
EaCle celebration.
In this speech to the center OF
the operations of Henry Ford the
only motor magnate who has not
signed the NRA automobile code.
Johnson carefully avoided any
statement that might antagonize
the manufacturer, though he did
mphasize once more the right of
every citizen to refuse to patron
ize those who did not come under
the Blue Eagle.
There was a decided atmosphere
of "pulled punches" about the
speech. but that did not indicate,
observers believed. any backing
down by Johnson in his insistence
that no man or corporation was
big enough to defy the recovery
drive. Rather it was interpreted
as move to leave the door open
for Ford to come in gracefully
before September 5, when the au-
tomobile codes become effective.
"There is no more boycott
about the NRR," Johnson said,
"than Ehere would be if you were
asked to recommend a good dem
fist, a good doctor Or a trustwor-
thy merchant. NRA asks the
American people to trust those
who have shown their faith in the
government by signing the Presi-
dents agreement. This whole pro-
gram is a three-sided partnership
between the government, the en-
ployer of labor and the consum-
ers. If one partner holds back,
why of course. the plan cannot
succeed, but if all partners pull
together there is no doubt of its
ultimate success
Johnson said his desk had been
flooded all day with wires bring
ing word that certain towns had
gone over the top 100 per cent in
the blue eagle drive. He repeated
that 100000 men and women
had been put back to work thru
the recovery program.
thousands of men have gone
back to work in such cities as Gin
cinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, St.
Louis and many other centers, ne
said. 81 tell you, the blue eagle
is not only pulling us out of our
economic mess but is also revival
ling the people"

NEW YORK. - Moe" Brown ~
symbohzes the struggle of the silk
and dye workers and the unemployed
OF Paterson. In the few years he
has been in the revolutionary move
ment, his active participation and
leadership in every struggle of the
workers has made him beloved by
the workingclass Of Paterson.
Born in 1895 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
INTO a large, poverty-stricken fam
lily, his life is that of the typical
American worker. The family moved
to Paterson when Moe was vet a
child. His father began working as
weaver in the silk mills OF Pater-
son. Through the sacrifices of his
parents, and by working at odd jobs,
Moe completed the courses in the
local grammar and high schools and
even started school at the University
of Michigan.
He lasted there for only two
months, being forced out by lack Of
funds.
Working at odd jobs in Paterson,
his first real contact with the labor
movement was in 1918. Here he took
an active part in printing the leaf
lets for the heroic strikers of 1913
led by big Bill Haywood"
The world war broke out. Fooled,
as many millions Of other American
youths were, by the catch words of
Wilson, he volunteered in the Army
Even in the Army he took part in
a strike in his outfit, when they re-
fused to do civilian work for a dollar
day. The outfit won their demand.
This made lasting impression on
him, showing the need of oyganiza-
ton to gain better conditions.
His illusions about saving democ-
racy were quickly dispelled when the
allies, with the help of Wilson, plas-
tered tremendous indemnities on
Germany. From then on he began
seriously to investigate, and took a
critical attitude TO the conditions
around him.
Working as clerk and then as
silk warper after the war, going
through hardship after hardship, he
finally came in contact with the revo-
lutionary movement through the
Daily Worker in 1929, Here" he
said, lis my paper. l. expresses my
ideas. Noticing an article on the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, he
came to the Headquarters and joined.
Just before this he had joined the
A. r. OF L. Horizontal Wrappers
Union, thinking it was a workers or
ganization, but left after a few
weeks.
Immediately on entering the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, he be-
came one Of its most active mem
bers, soon recognizing the leading
role Of the Communist Party and the
struggles OF the workers he joined.
In the 1881 silk strike, he was one
of the leaders. He was in the picket
lines early in the morning, organiz-

the silk workers and 3 terror to5.the
bosses. @s
The NT.W.U. and unemployed
councils during the year of 1899 were
organizing the unemployed to fight
for relief and unemployment tnsur-
ance. Moe Brown became the leader
Of these struggles, too, organizing
fights on the forced labor Jobs and
to demand cash pay instead of food
supplies. This movement became SO
powerful and the leadership of Moe
Brown SO we'll recognized, that the
mention of his name or that of the
unemployed council was enough TO
force the relief authorities to give an
unemployed worker relief.
The great silk and dye strike OF
Brown led the dye workers on the
picket lines, pulling out shop after
shop, until complete stoppage had
been effected. In Lodi, when the
police attacked the picket lines with
clubs and tear gas, he was in the
forefront Of the fight, recognizing
the lines when broken and led the
United Front Committee into the
boss. The boss was forced to close
down the plant.
The fight for unity put Up by the
NT.W.U., and the leadership Of Moe
Brown in this fight, was recognized
by the workers in the A. r. Of L.
He was invited many times by the
a. F. of l.. workers to speak at their
meetings, but was always hindered
from doing this by the leaders of
the a. p. CT L. 1T one time, when he
did come into the hall to SPEAK, the
A. F. of L. gangsters teoE him into
q room to best him UP. Seeing this.
the A. r. of L. workers refused to
allow their leaders, including Jack
Ruhenstein, the renegade, to speak
until he had been released,
Today he can be seen everywhere
among the workers, organizing shops,
fighting every attempt Of the &. F.
of L. leaders to sell out the Broad
Silk Strike.
Recognizing his tireless devotion TO
the struggles Of the workers for Bet
ter conditions, the Communist Party
has chosen him as the logical can
didate of the workers for Mayor Of

NEW YORK. - Despite a state

serious negligence in the distribu-
ton of election campaign material,
5000 Communist platforms we're

Charles Krumbein, New York Dis

Party, after an investigation, stated
that he had found thousands of
pieces of literature, paid for with the
pennies of workers, lying In the cleo
ton headquarters.
Every Communist" he stated,
Should feel it his duty TO demand
that this literature is properly dis
tributed. Workers themselves must
