the United States government
a financial machinery very
similar to the Equalization
Fund of the Bank of England. This
machinery is used by both govern
ments in the fight to cheaper their
own currencies as they battle for ad-
vantage in the field Of international
markets. ea2
Roosevelt will, from now on, set an
artificial price that the United States
government will pay for gold. In this
way it will attempt to keep prices
rising, and to keep American exports
to flow outward.
at home, the Roosevelt plan win
send prices soaring upward, causing
another slash in the real income of
the American workers and farmers.
Spectators Profit
The Roosevelt announcement sent
the prices on the. Stock Exchange
leaping. The stocks Of gold companies
were in especial demand. Insiders
like Rooseveit's friend, Bernard Ba-
ruch, reaped speculative fortune,
it was rumored.
That the imperialist rivals Of the
United Sta .es will reply to this attack
on their markets was openly pre-
dicted by Senator Thomas of Okla
homa, who declared that "this will
cause foreign nations to attempt to
check the Presidents program"
1t seems unlikely that France will
be able to maintain itself on the gold
standard, in the face Of the Roose~
welt move.
Despite his assurances Of sound
money" Rooseyelt's plan is admitted
to carry the inevita oility of further
inflationary measures. That the pres
ent move was necessitated by lie
failure of the N.R.A. to keep prices
rising in the face of declining con-
sumner demand iSpffered as proof that
Roosevelt, in order to maintain ris-
ing prices, will soon be forced to in
stitute still further initiation.
The net effect will be to cut the
real wages of the workers still
further.

U.S.-Anti-F
Asked to Care for
Paris Child Refuge

NEW YORK. The National Com
mittee to Aid the Victims of Ger
man Fascism has been asked to as
sumo responsibility for the Children's
Home which has been established on
the outskirts Of Paris by the Inter-
national Relief Committee with
which the National Committee Is af-
flliated. The headquarters Of the IN
ternational Committee are In Paris.
Twenty-Five children are already be-
ing taken care Of at the home.
The appeal came in a letter received
by Alfred Wagenknecht, secretary Of
the National Committee from Isabel
Brown and Dorothy Woodman, joint
secretaries of the British Committee.
The writers state that they had just
returned from France where they
made tour of the relief work. Thex
report:
There is a Children's Home and
relief work being carried on in SaafO
brucken. The British Committee is
responsible for the upkeep of the
home.
"A Children's Home has been es-
tablished on the outskirts of Paris
at Maison Laffitte. Your National
COMMITTEES is being asked to UNDER
take the responsibility for this homs-
When I was there found the house
and gardens ideal for the purpose.
Twenty-Five children were all eady
ehere, but the biggest difficulty was
lack Of material resources.

that has been done in Germany it
self, which is of such a character
that we cannot give details, but we
can assure you that the work is be-
ing done well
The National Committee IS now
planning activities to be held in the
near future in connection with their
relief work The performance of the
"Reichstag Trial" to be given at the
Central Opera House, Oct. rs, and

LYNCHERS
PROTECTED,
IS CHARGE
Officials Anxious as
Anger ofNegro, White
Workers Grows

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 23.-State
and Somerset County officials Joined
yesterday in an hysterical attempt
to pass the buck for responsibility
for the f1endish lynching of George
Armwood, as indignatnt protests from
white and Negro workers and intel
lectua1s developed into nationwide
thunder of denunciation of the
lynch murder and the officials res
ponsible for the convenient removal
Of Ar1nwood from Baltimore to Prin-
cess Anne a few hours before the
lynching. They likewise blocked all
attempts at investigation and punish
ment OF the known leaders of the
mob.
Workers EIecting Delegations
The uneasiness of the State and
County lynch governments was fur
ther increased by reports that work
ers and intellectuals in Maryland,
New England, Pennsylvania, New
York and New Jersey cities were
electing delegations to visit Governor
Ritchie this Wednesday with de-
mands for the removal and prosecu-
ton for murder of the guilty officials
and the death penalty to the known
members of the mob. The delega-
tions, which will arrive in Baltimore
Wednesday to join local delega-
ton, will go on to Washington to
place the demands of an aroused
working class on President Roosevelt.
They will demand the impeachment
of Governor Ritchie, and a halt to
the plans for the legal lynching OF
Fuel Lee this Friday.
Negroes of Baltimore, boiling with
resentment, are militantly supporting
the organization Of the local delega-
ton, despite the attempts of the re-
formist misleaders to disrupt the
growing struggle Of Negro and white
workers against the violent suppress
sion of the oppressed Negro Nation.
Resentment is almost universal in
the Negro district against the belly
crawling tactics of Rev. G. Y. Trigg,
local leader of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Colored
People who, as a member of united
front delegation which visited Ritchie
last Friday told the lynch governor
that when he heard his "Excellency
was from Richmond I knew that
everything was all right" With this

Whalen's Suit Made

NEW YORK-"I made that suit!''
exclaimed a striking custom tailor
to Grover Whalen yesterday, point
ing to his exclusively tailored $3.50
suit during an N. r. A. hearing on
the custom tailors' strike. MY
fellow strikers made the vest and
pants. 1t was tailored in tene-
ment overrun with verrnin, in
dirty, miserable sweatshop.' Wha-

sweatshops had not been abolished
under the N. r. A., the strikers
told him, as they demanded more
pay and the right to bargain col
Iectively with representatives Of

PATTERSON, N. j., oct. 23.-Thou-
sands Of strikers in mass picketing
over a six-mile strike front, between
Paterson and Lodi, this morning
kept the great silk and dye strife
completely solid. Not one mill or
dye shop opened. Undaunted, the
strikers picketed in face of huge
mobilization Of police and hired gun
thugs, which made the big dye plants
look like armed camps. The senti-
ment of the workers for one united
union of the dyers, proposed by the
N. T. w. u, IS growing.
The employers postponed their
deliberately prepared opening Of the
dye shops until tomorrow, but news
Of this did not reach the workers
until they were on the picket lines.
The U. IT. w. leaders sabotaged
picketing this morning. Hundreds
of A. F. of l.. strikers reporting at
their halls for picket duty were told
by U. T. w. picket captains not to

ton to the Daily Worker"

cations to the Concert with pledges
from shops, docks, ships, factories,
Party units, mass organizations, in
GLIDING the TWO, Gesang Verein
Clubs and others.
A ship committee, whose members
earn no more than $50 monthly, gave
$40. The Freiheit Gesangs Verein
contributed SOS.
Following speeches by William Pat
terson, National Secretary of the I.
L. D., who came from Baltimore,
Phil Bart, member of the Daily
Worker staff, and A. w. Mills, Com
munist Party District Organizer, con-
tributions began to pour in. The
workers further pledged to raise the
Districts quota of 81 900 in the Drive
in the shortest possible time and call
on all workers throughout the coun-
