A WORLD CONGRESS ON UNEM
PL0YMENT INSURANCE

Barre, Vermont.
Dear Comrade Editor:
The National Unemployment Con-
greSs promises to be the biggest
congress Of workers ever assembled
in this country.
Why not at once start prepare
tons on worldwide scale for an
international Unemployment Insur-
ance Congress to be held in Paris
or Geneva, with delegates present in
large numbers from every country
on earth.
Let this World Congress demand
that each and every country i'm
mediately turn over all war funds
to the setting up of unemployment
insurance in all lands. This would
be one OF the surest ways of pre-
venting war, and would serve the
two vital purposes Of combating war
and obtaining adequate insurance
for the masses Of workers and farm
ers and intellectuals in all countries.
If such a World Congress were built
up as thoroughly as our National
Congress is being built, and con-
Quoted properly, it would not only
attract world attention to the great
sentiment against war and for in
surance, but also back from the
World Congress would come militant
workers for the demands to every
territory of the entire world, to
carry forward and broaden the work
outlined at the World Congress.

HAINES CITY, Fla. M. Chap
man, former president of the United
Citrus Workers Union Of Florida,
has admitted that he has taken a
job with the Polk Company to Or
ganize the Silver Shirts here.
He has proceeded to do this under
orders of his boss, Polk, and has
been busy lately trying to get some
of the members of the union to
join the Silver Shirts. He has got
ten six men to join. six men whom
he has controlled all along, and the
men that will go with him to fight
the Communists. He said that's
what he's going to do, fight Commu-
nism.
Despite this terror organization,
out of 1900 members in the United
Citrus Workers, he has succeeded
in getting only six men to join.
This. of course, does not include
the thugs that he has imported to
help him fight. Most of his local
supporters have quit him and will
not support him any more. Some Of
his strongest supporters were good
union women like Mrs. Burch, Mrs.
Kelly and Mrs. Stribling. They see
through him now, and will have
nothing to do with his policy.

Cash Z elief Turns Fascist
BY a Farmer Correspondent


Z BLANCHARD Mich. - On Dec.
Is there was mass meeting of
the farmers and unemployed Of
Milbrook Township and the sur
rounding territory of McCosta
County.
The meeting was called for the
purpose of getting immediate re-
lief for drought and hail stricken
farmers. A committee of action
consisting of five farmers was
elected.
Before we had adjourned, the
work administrator of the district
appeared and wanted to explain
his side of the question His idea
was to petition and make resolu-
tons, but we told him that these
people must have cash relief or
work within ten days.
1 advised the committee to go
before the Relief Commissioner and
demand immediate relief.
I also got an unanimous endorse
ment of the Workers Unenploy-
n1ent and Social Insurance Bill, H.
r. 1898.
This is the first mass meeting of
this kind held in this part of Cen
trail Michigan but it won't be the
last. You'll hear from us soon.

Stitchers' Local Votes Down Proposal for Wage
Adjustment Made by Council

I resistance to stop the shop moving
campaign, did not mobilize to fol-
low them and declare strike, and
only relied upon the decisions Of
the Regional Labor Board and the
NR.A. which were in favor of the
bosses.
Last but not least, the General
Organizer MackaSey and the resi-
dent committee Of the General Ex-
ecutive Board under the leadership
Of Zimmerman and his clique,
adopted a sort Of hands off" policy,
leaving the whole situation in the
hands of the district and local off,
Gals. All during the last three and
half months the general officials
did nothing to mobilize the shoe
workers to fight the demands for
wage cuts and the attempts of the
manufacturers to smash the union.
Instead Of preparing the workers
for 2 fight, thew started a campaign
for the reopening of the hearings
on the shoe code and thus diverted
the attention OF the workers from
struggle by pinning all their hopes
on the shoe code, NR.A. and Wash
ington.
Since the first full meeting of the
GEB. on May 10, the resident
committee refused to call another
full meeting of the G.EB. to discuss
the unions situation nationally. The
resident committee turned a deaf
ear to the demand Of the rank and
file for a special emergency con-
vention to prepare for a national
strike, although number Of locals
have adopted and submitted res
olutions to the G.E.B. as required
by the constitution.
The Boston shoe workers do not
want and certainly cannot stand
any wage cuts in the face of the
steady increase in the cost of liv-
ing and because OF the already low
average wage we earn at present.
The shoe workers are disguised
with the way things are at present
and are losing whatever confidence
they had in the leadership of the
union. A wide rank and file move
ment is beginning to crystalline for
an emergency convention to prepare
for national strike, and for the
replacing of the present leadership
with militant leadership that will
fight in the interests of the work
ers, thus strengthening and build
ing the union.

Shoe Workers Reject Wage
Cut Plan of Boston Council
n. f. Council Rescinds
Boston Decision
Br a Shoe Worker Corresponder

BY Shoe Worker Correspondent
LYNN, Mass.-Lynn officials re-
ported that at a meeting Of coun-
Gil members of Lynn, Boston and
Haverhill held in Boston on Thurs
day, Dec. 20, it was revealed that
the Boston Joint Council had de-
cided to grant wage cut.
This report of action taken by
Boston aroused the New England
Council delegates, and immediately
upon the conclusion of the report
by Salvaggio motion was made by
Haverhill delegate to adjourn,
which meant that all officials will
return to their cities and the wage
cut competition between the union
shoe centers would start and would
probably finish with the smashing
of the union.
After a considerable discussion,
the Boston Joint Council rescinded
its decision and agreed to work
with the Haverhill and Lynn
Councils for joint action on prices.
1t was agreed that within the next
two weeks the three districts must
work to reach a uniform deci-
sion on prices and action. Although
the general officials were notified
Of the action of the Boston Coun-
Gil and of the meeting, they cow
ardly and treacherously failed to
come. although thew well know what
such a meeting could result in.
1t is now the job OF the shoe
workers of Boston, Lynn and Hav-
erhill more than ever before to re-
ject any form of wage cut. The
season is here. The bosses through
our weak kneed officials make their
last rush to put over cut. We
must stand ready to fight against
cut, or prepare to fight for in
creases with the coming OF the
season.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Here
went 10 the Salvation Army with
four other workers so We could get
a place to sleep over the night. They
sent us to the Transient Department.
The official in charge of that de-
partment, tried to send us to Camp
Foster for forced labor, which paid
80 cents week. We refused to go
after being there once and knowing
the bad condition of that govern
ment camp. Then they tried to
send us back to the Salvation Army.
This is the way the ruling class is
fooling the people.
The Salvation Army has a store
at 712-714 Davis Street, in the Ne
gro section, collection goods of all
classes and saying they do not sell
them but that they are for the poor.
The same takers go to all corners
every night teaching christianity"
and taking money from the poor
workers with the same promise, but
workers have to pay SO cents a night
to stay there; the same as selling
the goods to the poor Negroes in
stead of giving it to them free.

Salvation Army during their con-

Pamphlet on Coughlin
in Demand
CoMRADE HowARD's SERIES

Chicago, III.
Dear Comrade Editor:
Having just finished Milton How.
ards last installment on Father
Coughlin's exposure, I must say it
was splendid.
Although I have given my Daily
Workers with the articles on Cough
lin to some of his admirers. that is
not enough; it does not reach
enough workers. Therefore I sug-
gest that Comrade Howard write
his exposure in pamphlet form so
that we can expose that holy
scoundrel to millions of workers who
are being misled by him.
I think even admirers of Coughlin
are willing to spend two cents for q
pamphlet exposing this demagogue
and hypocrite.
If a worker is caught speeding al
the rate Of fifty miles an hour with
false license plates, he certainly
would be suspected of being a gang
ster and would be led to a cell.
However, we haven't heard Of
Coughlin even being fined. II
wager that that poor cop who gave
him a ticket will have to apologize
on all fours for his mistake OF
pinching Coughlin, or be fired.

ONE FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR

New York, N. Y.
Dear Comrade Editor:
I wish TO suggest way to boost
the Daily Worker effectively and
with due credit to the sheet.
1t should be made a point to
every comrade to carry two copies
with him when reading the Daily"
in public, one from the day previous
and one a late paper.
The idea is to read one paper,
with the other one in hip pocket,
and to leave the back number on
the seat before leaving the train or
car. This tactic spurs an interest
in the paper
If this method is practiced by a
thousand or more members, it is
effective in bringing the paper to
all parts of the city, and on every
means Of conveyance.

If this company calvin Products,

could be fined because there is no
way to make a dead hair grow
again and the company knows it.
Notice the comma after the word

cause without it the phrase "can

amounts to a claim for the ability
to regrow hair By putting in the
comma which most people will not
even notice, and by wording the
sentence as they do. this group Of
takers gives the reader the impress
sion that their medicine can grow
hair, and at the same time keep
within the law. This need not sur
prise anyone. since laws are pur-
posely worded so that crooks, takers
and exploiters can safely get around
them.
No medicine known at present can

BOSTON, Ndass.-At a meeting Of
the Stitchers Local of the United
Shoe and Leather Workers Union in
Boston on Dec. 10, it was reported
that the Boston Joint Council had
voted to grant a readjustment in
wages to the shoe manufacturers
which would mean wage cut OF
from to 715 per cent.
The local unanimously rejected
the decision of the Council and in
structed the Executive Board to
take all necessary action in case
the bosses insisted on the wage cut.
The stitchers' delegates on the
Council had voted against the cut.
The Joint Council reached its de-
cision despite the fact that only
two weeks ago the Boston shoe
workers at a large mass meeting
and at the local meetings voted
against any wage cuts or readjust-
ments in prices. The Boston off,
Gals voted to grant reduction on
the pretext that more shops were
threatening to move out
The union officials attempt to
cover up their present betrayal by
shifting the blame to the rank and
file, who are supposedly forcing"
the officials to grant wage cuts to
the shoe manufacturers.
Since Sept. /, when the repre-
sentatives Of the United" districts
in New England voted to reject the
demand of the manufacturers for
wage cuts, the shoe workers every
where supported this decision whole
heartedly. But, all during the time
since then, when over $4,000 shoe
workers of Boston, Haverhill, Lynn
and Salem were thrown out Of jobs,
when many shoe shops closed down,
when over twenty-five shops moved
out from these shoe centers to the
unorganized territories of Maine
and New Hampshire, the officials Of
the United" failed to carry out the
task of modifying the shoe workers
for struggle.
The local and general officials Of
the United" refused to develop q
struggle for immediate relief and
unemployment insurance, and even
hampered and sabotaged the unem-
ployed movement that has been de-
veloped by the rank and file under

The following is an advertisement

their product Ambergren:
"We have today received your let
ter asking for information how to

TN far East India. Bal-Dava,

Until now if we had hair trouble.
If we had dandruff. or If our hair
