Birmingham Policeman
Given Leave of Absence
To Act AS Strikebreaker

BIRMINGHAM, Dec. 25.-Milton
McDuff, former superintendent of
the Police Identification Bureau
and now private detective in the
employ of heavy industry, has been
granted an extension to his leave of
absence from the police department
so that he may not "lose his
seniority, his pension rights, and
$4,000 insurance he carries as d
member of the department"
McDuff's request for an extension
was vigorously protested by Police
Chief Luthern Hollums, between
whom and McDuff an enmity rising
out of inter-police politics continues.
McDuff was first granted a leave Of
absence last July after Hollums had
denoted him from superintendent
of the Bureau of Identification to
the rank of patrolman. He has
since been connected with his
father, Sheriff -elect Fred. H. Nc
Duff in the operation of the Nc
Duff National Detective Agency.
During this period he has osten-
sibly devoted his talents solely to in
vestigation of bombing cases
throughout the country-his un-
mentioned (by the local press and
more particular employment has
been strike-breaking and red-bait-
ing for the heads of industry. Reese
Murray, attorney for McDuff, in
making the plea for the extension,
called attention to the numerous
convictions which have been secured
in bombing and dynamiting cases
since McDuff has been in charge of
the investigation and predicted that
similar wave would break out if
McDuff were not allowed to con-
tinue the work"

Proposal of Presidents National Committee for
Economic Security Is Designed to
Prevent Any Benefits

The so-called Advisory Council
of the National Committee for Eco
nomic Security" has now announced
its plans for unemployment insur-
ance" They declare that they have
brought it into line with Roose-
velt's proposals. Only the brief out
line of the bill has been disclosed,
but enough of it has been published
to make the general line clear. 1t
is modification in slight degree Of
the Wagner-Lewis bill.
1t is noteworthy, however, that on
the Advisory Council are not only
william Green, but also Walter
Teagle of Standard Oil, Gerard
Swope Of General Electric, Morris
E. Leeds of Leeds 81 Northrup, Sam
Lewisohn of the Miami Copper Co.,
and Marion B. Folsem Of the East
man Kodak Co. Representing labor
and so-called liberals, in addition
to Green, are Paul Kellogg, editor
Of the Survey Graphic, Helen Hull
of the Henry Street Settlement Of
New York, and Frank Graham of
tbs University of North Carolina.
John A. Ryan, Catholic priest Of
Washington, also is said to favor
the plan.
What is the plan? Before going
into the details, it is interesting to
note that few days before its
announcement william Green pub
lished the outline of ''his own" plan.
In doing so, he called upon the A.
F. of L. organizations earnestly to
study it-because, as the secretary
of the State Federation of Labor
of Connecticut, Thomas Eagan, de-
clsred, "it offers far more than the
Workers Bill" which he branded
as Communist bill"
Green's bill IN. Y. Herald Tribune,
Dec. 10 called for benefits
amounting to at least so per cent
Of the normal weekly wage, but
should not be less than SIS a week
and should continue for twenty-six
weeks in any one year. Part
time employment should be COM
pensated for by partial benefits. "
Green continues: 1T Insurance.
should be compulsory and should
include all workers except domestic
workers, agricultural labor, profess
sional perI9ns and government en-
ployees. Employers should pay
sums equal to 5 per cent of their
payrolls. -. Employees should make
no additional contributions. i. No
persons should be required to ac-
cept work in a situation vacant as
the direct consequence of a trade
dispute"
Is Million Jobless Forgotten
Green's program would not fur
nish any compensation whatever to
the 16,O00,00O unemployed. The
employers would pay into the in
surance fund only for their own
employees, even though the fund
would be state fund. Thus the
100000 unemployed. the most
forgotten men," remain unpro-
tected at the hands Of the "emi-
nent leader" of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. And not only
they-also all agricultural workers
domestic workers. professionals and
government employees would be ex-
cluded.
The worst feature of Green's
plan, which shows the real face Of
the leadership of the A. F. of L.,
is the following:
Workers who quit work with
out good cause or who are dis
The daily worker., 1934-12-26
BY l. Amter

President Roosevelt, his Cabinet,
leading industrialists, labor lead
ers" like william Green, liberals,
Socialist and Music leaders, have
all united for the purpose Of pre-
venting the workers from obtaining
protection through genuine unem-
ployment and social insurance.
Great will be the disappointment
Of millions of employed and unem-
ployed workers who trusted the
great man in the White House.
They voted by the millions in 1882
for unemployment insurance, with
the assurance that this would be
the immediate concern of the
champion of the forgotten man"
On Nov. 9Th. of this year, they re-
turned his party to power in 80
states because of his message to
Congress just before its adjourn
ment. It was on June 8 that Roose-
velt in his message declared:
'The security of the home, the
security Of livelihood and the Sc
curity of social insurance-are, it
seems to me, a minimum promise
that we can offer to the American
people"
Roosevelt Bans Social Insurance
The setting up of the National
Committee for Economic Security"
seemed to promise action. Roose-
velt's address to the American
Bankers Association convention on
Oct. Is removed some of the gloss
of the promise. His speech at the
White House on Nov. 14th, when
the National Convention Commit
tee for Economic Security" reported
left no further doubt. He would
not deal with social insurance at
the present time. Only unemploy-
ment insurance would be considered
In the coming session of Congress.
1t is not hard to guess the char
acter OF the bill to be introduced
especially since the National Com
mittee for Economic Security al
though it had its own ideas on the
question, nevertheless gave them UP
and accepted Roosevelt's position.
What was Roosevelt's positionP
He declared not only that unem-
ployment insurance is the only pro-
posal Of this character that will be
brought forward by the government
in the coming session of Congress,
but he also stated that the bill will
be "federal-state" jobless insur-
ance plan, by which the govern
ment might possibly provide the
administrative expenses of the bill;
that it would require tax on pay
rolls, and provide compensation for
a certain period and of a certain
amount. These plans did not
wholly agree with those of the Ma
tional Committee"-but they were
accepted.
Prominent people were present at
the conference on Nov. 1874. They
included such leading industrialists
as Teagle of Standard Oil; Swope
of General Electric; William Green
and Frank Morrison, president and
secretary. respectively, of the A. F.
of L.; Thomas Kennedy, secretary
treasurer of the United Mine Work
ers and lieutenant governor elect of
Pennsylvania, etc. Acting under
pressure of the rank and file of the
United Mine Workers and the
workers generally of Pennsylvania,
Kennedy advocated a federal bill.
I'VE have it on competent author
ity,p said Kennedy, that federal
bill will be constitutional" Morri-
son spoke after Kennedy and stated
that in general he agreed with
Kennedy. nor did he take excep-
ton to his statement about the
legality of federal unemployment
insurance. This is completely in
opposition to the statements of
Green. Senator Wagner, etc.

Big Vote Gains
ForC.P. Shown
In California

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 25.-
The vote for Communist candidates
in California was much higher than
previous reports indicated, the Off
cial canvass, just issued, reveals.
Anita Whitney. Communist candi-
date for State Controller, received
100820 votes in the November cleo
ton and Leo Gallagher, Communist
endorsed candidate for associate
Supreme Court Justice received
242,313 votes in the August
primary
Both of these figures are con-
siderably higher than those in
earlier reports which gave 10000 to
Anita Whitney in the November
election and 10000 to Gallagher in
the August primary.
The Organization Department of
the Communist Party here has ex-
pressed its belief that large numbers
of votes were stolen from Sam
Darcy, candidate for Governor, who
was officially credited with only
5,826 votes while Pettis Perry, hi;
Negro running mate, received TO-
52S and Archie Brown, candidate
for State Treasure, received 25, ,725
The 47,000 votes cast for Harold
AShe, candidate for secretary oi
State, we're taken as more nearly
accurate indication of strength o.
the Communist Party in the elec.
ton.

Our Children
By ANGELO PATRI
MONDAY MORNING
@. Bell Syndicate.-wNU Service.

TAKE II any way you look at 1t
l. Monday morning is a bad time
for the children. The weekend
broke their routine. Their bodies
have been forced to adjust them
selves to another rhythm and that
always makes children, and grown
people, irritable. They don't mean
to be bad tempered, they just are,
and cannot help it. When your
whole body is grumbling your mind
cannot maintain a sweet and strong
attitude. That would be too much
to ask even of ones mind.
Things are always lost on Mon
day morning. The brief case that
John left right there" cannot be
found. The belt of Janet's dress
which she knows she fastened to
the dress the very last thing Fri
day afternoon has vanished.
The schOolroom fares no better,
indeed it fares worse. The children
arrive in various degrees of dis
tress. They got up late. the break
fast wasn't right, the milkman
hadn't come. The teacher feels
dull, tired, weighted down with the
cares Of the ages. Monday morning
isn't the happiest time imaginable
for any Of us. It takes a long time
to get by it and that means so much
time wasted. What is to be done
about it?
For one thing, don't begin Satur-
day until Friday is nearly com
pleted. Too many children think
Saturday begins Friday, noon.
Keep them to their schedule. All
lessons are to be completed Friday
afternoon and no excuse for leav-
ing them until the weekend is to
he allowed. That means that moth
er will be saved hunting for fOun.
tain pen and a sheet of note paper
on which to write an excuse to the
teacher on Monday morning.
All school clothes, books, what
ever has to do with school on Mon
day morning is to be laid waiting
and ready before going to bed on
Friday night. exactly as it would
be If 1t were Thursday night. That
means that mother WON'T have to
hunt for somebody's shoeJ belt hat,
and whatnOt. '.@~ "Wr-E

dren need to break routine as well
as TO maintain it. Let the children
rest and play, secure in the knOwl,
edge that they are ready for Mon,
day morning. We won't have hun.
dred per cent perfection but we
will save a lot of trouble and time
We can get the school work well
started by Monday afternoon in
stead of Tuesday. And we car
