The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-04-07

N now moving into strike action against
the hated N.RA codes.
This great strike wave that is now
sweeping the country hurdling the bar
rers set up by William Green and other officials
of the American Federation of Labor is richer and
more politically significant than any of the many
strike since the introduction of the Roosevelt
New Deal policies.
If one analyses carefully the various strikes
which make up this great wave he cannot fail to
note one outstanding and indisputble fact: the
strikes are becoming more poitcal-they are d.
rected not only against the employer, but to a
greater extent than before against the Roose-
welt government
The role of Franklin D. Roosevelt as the grand
field marshall of all the forces of strike breaking
(Which was exposed by the Daily Worker the minute
he took Office is now clearly perceived by the
toiling section of the population than it was at the
advent of the New Deal.
Roosevelt has asked the strikers to give UP their
interests for "the interests of the whole people"
But the workers understand better now than before
that the whole people" which the president is talk
ing about is nothing less than the capital
ist class-the owners of factories the coupon clip
pers, the bankers.
So the strikers coming into conflict more and
more with the capitalist state-against Roosevelt
against the n R. A.
The following facts show that the workers ara
beginning to realize that in their fight against the
employers they inevitably come face to face with
the government which is the chief strike breaker
and supporter Of the mill owners.
In Philadelphia 1000 striking knitgoods workers
and 900 strikers of the s. K F. Industries are stag
ing a demonstration today against the n R. A.
and the strike breaking activities of the CITY gov
eminent
In Detroit the auto workers booed down VIM
Collins and Hugh Thompson, A. F. of L. officials
who came to ask the strikers to support Roosevelt
and the N. R. A.
Miners in West Virginia are at present dealing
heavy blows to the N. R. A. They walked out on
strike in defiance Of the u M. w. A. officials after
copies of the N. r. A code was posted in the mines
They refused to deal with N. r.. A.
The government now stands more openly exposed
as an organ OF strike-breaking. To stem off the
growing strike wave Phil Raymond militant leader
OF the auto workers, arrested the minute 5000
auto workers broke through the demasogy of the
A F. OF l.. leaders and struck in defiance OF the
N. R.A
All the leading strike breaking forces of the
Roosevelt New Deal set-up have been rushed to the
various zones of struggle.
Miss Perkins Roosevelt's Secretary NJ Labor who
said that there isn't first class strike in America
MADE hurried trip to Detroit to do her bit in at
tempting to smash the auto strike Edward Nc
Grady who helped break strikes in the PENNSYLVANIA
coal heIdS and in the New York fur industry has
been rushed by the Roosevelt government to Detroit
Government conciliators Cread strike breakers)
were catching the fastest trains bound for the strike
regions yesterday. John L. Conner and Howard
Chappen commissioners of conclation, headed for
Buffalo and Camden respectively, with orders to
break strikes in the Consolidated Aircraft Corn the
New York Shipbuilding Corp. the Campbell Scum
90 and the Radio Condenser Corp.
Workers more than ever must be vigilant as
hawks against these agents of the strike-breaking
government They are tricky lot these N. r A,
1olk They promise much, but give nothing 30 the
working class
The best against the bosses Is the strike The
only power that the working class has is their or
gained strength, their unions, their mass organ
lzatlons their Communist Party
With these weapons which the Roosevelt gov
eminent is trying to weaken and take awsv from
the workers, but which are growing stronger each
day-and with these weapons only can the working
class OF America smash down the N R. A. barriers
and win union recognition and better conditions in
the factories.
There Is no mistaking the fact The strike wave
is rising irresistibly higher against the n r. A
slaves codes. Spread the strike movement against
the exploiters!
