Grain Yields Small

The flow of benefit money is eX-
pected largely to offset losses in
CURED because Of decreased market
ingS. attributable chiefly to the ma
tons worst drought.
One of the closing chapters in
the history of this calamity was
written today by half a million fed
eral crop reporters. Their produc-
ton estimates based on conditions
at the peak of harvesting operations,
confirmed earlier predictions that
grain yields would be among the
smallest in statistical records which
go back thirty-hve years.
In its Sept. crop report, the de-
partment of agriculture placed
wheat production at 493.O00,0O0
bushels, corn at 1895 100000 and
oats at 546000,000. Despite improved
weather conditions during the past
month, little, if any, upward revi-
Sions were expected. The crops
were too far gone when rain finally
came.
AAA Report Made
The monthly report of the AAA
comptroller showed 1924, 300 500 dis
tributed to contract signers in rental
and benefit payments as follows:
Cotton, $152,9O3, SIG; wheat, S7O,5O5,-

hogs, $55,421,72
Maine was the only state in which
no payments were made. One ter
ritory, Puerto Rico, received $1,158,-
05l in tobacco payments.
From Sept l. the date of the re-
port, to Oct. 5, additional payments
totaling about $4,000 900 were made.
Likewise SOL, 3O8,O68 was spent in
the purchase of surplus hogs, butter.

ments in the Inflated enterprise to
be virtually worthless, and have not
gone to the trouble even of deposit
ing their bonds with the various
protective committees. Consequent
ly, efforts toward a reorganization
are not expected to meet with much
success.
1t. is known that some of the
bondholders will demand a complete
liquidation of the companys assets
and distribution of the proceeds,
no matter how small. They take
the position that they have no in
terest in becoming further involved
in the match business. The COM
pany went on the rocks following
a series of high financing operations,
and after Ivan Kreuger, it's founder
and directing head, was reputed
to have committed suicide.
NTASHINGTON advices recently
w indicated that the New Deal is
finally to come before the highest
tribunal in the United States for a
test of its constitutionality. For
several months opponents of the
legislation passed since the new ad-
ministration came into office have
been saying privately that the Pres
ident has been afraid to permit
certain features of this legislation
to pass before the supreme court.
Foremost among the decisions
scheduled to be rendered is
whether the Baltimore g. Ohio
railroad must pay its interest in
gold or its equivalent in currency
based on the old gold dollar value.
Such decision would be expected
to either affirm or deny the right
Of the government to cut the gold
content Of the dollar.
II
1T seems that the most influential
l. people in London take a some
what different attitude toward the
gold standard than we do in this
country. Several important groups
of financiers and industrialists in
the President to fix permanently
the gold content Of the dollar,
whereas the Financial Times in
London is quoted as having stated
editorially that a return to the
gold standard in that country was
Of secondary consideration.
Gold today is used for the most
part in adjusting international
trade debts, and a stable value for
the metal in terms of currency is
needed primarily to eliminate the
currency risks in international trade.
Under the circumstances, therefore,
it would seem that England would
find the need for a return to the
gold standard greater than the
United States, inasmuch as it is
much more dependent on foreign
trade than is this country. Clarif-
cation Of the position of both
would seem TO be in order.

WASHINGTON, d. C., Sept. g.
President William Green, in con-
versation with various A. F. of L.
leaders, is understood to have de-
cIared that the textile strike is
good thing because it will give the
industry a chance to clear out its
inventory "and start the whole
system anew"
That is, it will give the em-
plcyers an opportunity to make
additional profits mainly at the
expense of the textile strikers and
the rest of the workers. This
view is supported by the fact that
the textile barons have made it
known that they have about 400
per cent more stock than at this
time last year, They consider the
chances are better now to sell at
greater profit Green is charac-
teristically silent concerning the
strike demands Of the yroTaoTs.

Talk To Turn Tide of
Workers Upsurge
HARPON RED SCARE
Plan Profit Insurance
In Place of Job
Insurance
BY Harry Cannes

NEW YORK. = With the
greatest textile strike in U. S.
labor history confronting the
American workers, William
Green, and Frank Morrison,
officials of the A. F. of L.,
and Secretary of Labor Per-
kins, utilized Labor Day to attempt
to turn the tide of discomfort with
the New Deal, and for q vicious
onslaught against the Communist
Party.
william Green, president Of the
A. F, of L. spoke at Wichita, Kan
sas; Frank Morrison, at Flint,
Michigan, and Madam Perkins in
Washington, all over nationwide
radio hookups.
Progress has been made under
the recovery program" piped
Madam Perkins. 1.-THE National
Recovery Act developed out Of the
dire need of our distressed popu-
lation for relief from unemploy-
ment," added Mr.. Green. cts pri-
mary purpose was to create en-
ployment opportunities and restore
buying power among the masses of
people"
Morrison, secretary Of the A. F.
of L., continued in a similar vein.
Yet despite their strivings, Green
was forced to admit that never be-
fore in the history Of the country
was so large section of the Amer
lean working and farming popula-
ton faced with restitution and
starvation.
'Never in the history OF our
Nation" said Green, twas there
such a large percentage of our
population dependent as now.
There Is now added to this dis
tressing situation intense suffering
caused by prolonged drought
among large part of our farm
ing population and over widely
extended agricultural area"
The unacceptable conclusion from
reading or hearing these speeches
/ is that the A. F. of L. officialdom
and Madam Perkins we're arguing
against a tremendous force of up
surge and struggle among the rank
and file of the A. F. of L.
Admits Intense Feeling
Morrison, for example, who spoke
to the auto workers who we're be-
trayed by the A. F. of L. top Off
Gals, working with Roosevelt and
the auto bosses, admitted that there
was "a very intense feeling of re-
sentiment against these corpora
tons" He deplored this fact and
urged the workers not to expect any
rapid improvement in their condi-
lions, to be patient, and not tc
struggle.
'It must not be forgotten" he told
the newly organized auto workers
"that the most impatient workers
are the members of the newly or
ganized unions. They feel that as
soon as they become members of 6
union they should be able to estab-

New England Workers
Hail Unity Plea Which
Leaders Oppose
RED SCARE FAILS
N.T.W.U. Calls for Mass
Picketing, Rank and
File Control
BY Carl Reeve
Especial to the Daily Worker)

NEW BEDFORD, Mass,
Sept. 3. = The proposal of
unity presented by the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union
in leafet form to a United
Textile Workers mass meet
ing of several thousand at
Hazelwood Park this morning was
well received by workers, although
rejected from the platform by VIII
liam Batty, the main speaker.
The N.TW.U. proposed in an open
letter to the New Bedford Textile
Council and all members and locals
of the U.TW. the merging of the
N.T.WU. local with the U.T.W. on
the basis of no discrimination
against N.T.W.U. members and their
right to participate in all strike
activity. The leaflet greeted and
supported the strike to the fullest
extent and also proposed a joint
conference tomorrow to work out
this unity.
The influence of N.T.W.U. policies
on New Bedford workers was seen
in the fact that Batty, who led the
"red scare" at the U.T.W. conyen-
ton, did not make single refer
ence to the N.T.W.U. by name.
Instead he made a very radical
sounding speech, urging 100 per cent
on the picket line. He then de-
clared, however, that the purpose
of the U.T.W. is to secure the ear
of Washington and to get collective
bargaining conferences from Wash
ington as early as possible. Batty
thus while attacking the N.R.A. re-
suits declared that employers violate
the MIRA. and maintained the illu-
sion that Roosevelt and Johnson
will soon act favorably for the tex
tile workers.
Batty then definitely rejected
the unity proposal of the N,T.W,U,
stating there has been proposal
to merge, but this Is like tying two
cats together by the tail. Oil and
water will not mix :. no quarrel
with other unions, but let them go
their way and we'll go ours. The
U.T.W. has a different policy and
will not accept a merger"
It is significant that the fierce
"red scare" in the newspapers and
by the U.T.W. leaders has failed to
catch on to such an extent that not
a single U.T.W. leader dared attack
either Communists or N.T.WU. by
name in today's Labor Day mass
meetings, which was mobilization
for strike. The unity leadet was
well received by workers today.
"Red Scare" Continues
This red scare continues undated
in the press. Today's Boston Her
aid had vicious attacks on Ann Bur-
lax, stating that the police have
orders to arrest her at the slightest
sign of activity, and that she is hid
ing in the South End tenement dis
trict of New Bedford" Meanwhile

Leaders Meet
In Milwaukee
Especial to tn. Daily worker,

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept. "A
delegation of three, composed of
Robert Minor, Bill Gebert and Nor
ris ChildS, representing the Central
Committee of the Communist Party
of the United States, were received
by the National Executive Commit
tee of the Socialist Party at a
meeting yesterday, where they pre-
sented proposals for united actions
between the two parties.
The united front proposals, based
upon those previously made by Earl
Browder, General Secretary of the
Communist Party, in letter to
Norman Thomas on Aug. II, espe-
cially urged immediate united front
action around the coming Second
National Congress Against War and
FaSciSm.
Browder's letter of Aug. IT, adj
dressed to Norman Thomas, stated
that the Central Committee of the
Communist Party had taken note
Of Thomas's statements made at
the American Youth Congress
favoring united action between the
two parties. 1t further made note
of his recent endorsement of the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill, his approval of the unity OF
all anti-fascist fighters, and his ex-
preston of hope for united front
between the two American parties
In addition, it referred to Thomas's
approval of the united front
achieved in France.
After discussion and questions
between the representatives of the
two parties yesterday, Thomas in
formed the Communist Party del
egation that the National Executive
Committee of the Socialist Party
would officially notify the Central
Committee of the Communist Party
Of its decision.
