The Chicago Fire

4 REVEALING commentary on the dis
IA astrous Chicago fire is to be found in
the statement of Thomas J. Sheehan, City
Fire Attorney.
Eve investigated reports said Shee-
han, that there had been labor agitation
in the yards, but were unable to find any
evidence of any recent labor troubles"
This is, Enthusiastically enough, the first official
statement which follows a tragedy which left over
1000 workers homeless, which threw men out of
work and took from host Of workingclass families
their last means of subsistence!
The bosses of Chicago are not interested in this
gripping human tragedy To them the tragedy
lies in the loss of s1OOOO0O0 worth of property.
This is the vile, barbaric sense of values which
motiyates capitalism
And even now, as the workers and their wives
and children go about ragged homeless, hungry,
their few meager possessions destroyed the Chicago
millionaires who own the stockyards prepare new
economic assaults upon the workers, new terrorism
against their growing class militancy! They plan
more vicious attacks upon the very men whose
courage and heroism kept the huge stockyards fire
from spreading, thereby preventing repetition of
the fire which evelled the Windy City to the ground
in 1871.
The workers made homeless by this fire should
demand the right to livel They should organize
at once in the militant Chicago Unemployment
Councils, to fight for adequate relief, not the sour
stale crumbs of boss charity.
They should demand adequate housing, not in
the makeshift, squalid shacks of other fre-im-
peried Sums but in the modern houses which the
landlords keep vacant because they cannot collect
their exorbtant rents.
Demand that these houses be opened to the

state that the despositors, who are
mostly workers, are greatly alarmed.
What was the financial status of
the bank as it closed its doors?
lie Journal says the savings ac-
counts amount to about 300,000,000
francs. The number of depositors
is 10000. Investments in banks,
industries, aviation promotions, ETC.,
are about 100000, the collection
of which is hardly likely to ma
terialize. Advances to different Co.
operatives amount to 05,000,000; of
this sum 100000 have been lent
to the Rhone Cooperative and the
money is not recoverable. There is
another 100000 francs in depos-
it's in the provinces; and if the peo-
pie grow more alarmed over this,
which is likely, a run on those banks
is most certainly imminent.
WHAT reasons do the Socialist
W and reformist executives of the
co-operatives offer for this crash?
The general economic crisis is, of
course, the first reason. The next
in line, as Poisson, the reformist,
had to admit, is the freezing of
100000 francs in capitalist enter
prises and in the aviation business.
He added that it is not question
of war planes" but millions of CO.
operative workers helped to build

McGoldrick's Gold Brick

CONTROLLER Nc Goldrick's financial
balance sheet, issued yesterday, proves
again to what lengths the city administra-
ton will go to curry favor in the eyes of
the Wall Street banks.
1t proves more. 1t shows the complete
identity of these banking interests and the
city administration.
The value of New York City's property is esti-
mated by McGoldrick at $4O54, 100000. Yet in the
demagogy well-known by now to those who have
watched the hypocrtical antics of the Fusion line
up, the controller wants to tie the city to the
banks for more than hundred years to come!
He proposes instead of the Untermyer bankers
agreement new system of payments which would
continue from the present to the year 2147!
Such solictude for the bankers dough is very
revealing Particularly in the light of the wage
cuts, the forced furoughs the layofs the curtail-
ment of funds for different vital city departments
(such health inspection, education, recreational
facilities etc., which LaGuardia put over by his
infamous City Economy Bill
Cut wages, but pay the banks Keep the masses
in squalid tenements, but be sure the financial
masters get their dough and their heavy interest
too These the guiding mottos of the Fusion
administration, just they we're, more crudely the
mottos of Tammany
The Fusion administration it should be clear to
every worker by now, sticks by the class which
handed it the reins of city government.
Workers of New York make no better answer
to the boss parties than by presenting solid class
front against them, by demanding a moratorium on
these bankers loans the continued payment of
which will inevitably lead to further wage cuts fur
ther attacks on their standard of living, further
mass misery and hunger
