NEW CLASHES
REPORTED IN
MANY TOWNS
Unity of Socialist and
Communist TOilers
Grows Daily

VIENNA, Nov. 11-Following fiery
united front demonstrations of So
cialist and Communist workers in
Vienna and other Austrian cities,
police today jailed nearly 1000
workers.
At the same time reports arrived
here of clashes between workers
and police in many cities and towns,
including Parasol Mountain, Leo
poldsdorf and Tullnebach, all near
Vienna.
The mass arrests which took place
today was based on the fear on the
part of the government that larger
meetings were to be held tomorrow.
Newspapers which sought to check
today was based on the fear of the
reports of arrests in various Aus
TRAN cities were unable to get long
distance telephone connections.
The Communist Party has grown
into a mass party since the crush
ing of the February revolt. Thou
sands of former cial-democrats
have joined the Communist Party.
A recent party congress of the C.P.
revealed the fact that 48 per cent
OF the delegates had joined since
February. The Communist Party
now has working united front
with large sections of the Austrian
Social-DemocratiS party and the
Schutzbund, the armed defense
organization of the Austrian So
cialist party.

SECRET ORDER
SHOWS BANKS
| N S N 7
Government Hiding Real
Condition of Banks,
O'COnnOr Reveals

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. Ire
vealing that many banks now con-
sidered solvent are really bankrupt,
and that the Roosevelt government
has been cooperating secretly with
the banks to preserve their capital
structure, j. F. T. O'Connor, Con-
troller of the Currency for the
Roosevelt government, made pub
lie for the first time the text of
secret orders which the Roosevelt
Government had been sending to
Federal bank examiners to "go
easy" on the banks.
This information was made pub
lie in an address before the Ne
braska State Bankers Association.
The text of the Roosevelt govern
ment orders to the bank examiners
was for these examiners to evalu-
ate bank assets with a "Sympathe-
tic attitude" and not to be too
critical and harsh in their examina-
ton"
This was conclusive pro Of"
O'Connor said, "of the understand
ing and sympathetic attitude of the
administration toward the banks"
Indicating that the Roosevelt gov
eminent was cooperating with the
Wall Street banks in hiding their
true conditions, O'Connor read the
following instructions which had
been sent out to the bank eX-
ct is the administrations desire
that credit channels be opened
through licensed banks and this
policy cannot be accomplished if
examiners follow a defation policy
in examinations. We are all con-
cerned in having solvent banks, but
there is wide distinction between
the potential and intrinsic value of
assets of a going institution, and
values.
Examiners in appraising and
assets of licensed banks
will not apply liquidating values but
will appraise on the basis of fair
values on recovery basis"
Thus the Roosevelt government
is aware that many banks are &C
tually insolvent on the basis of
their assets, and deliberately CO.
operates with the banks in infa-
tionary evaluation of their assets.
This close tie-up with the banks
was openly cemented at the recent
Bankers Convention at Washington,
where Roosevelt openly agreed to
continue his policies in the inter
ests of the banks.

ROME, Nov. 1O.-The Mussolini
government formally established
what the Fascists call the corporate
state" when the economic life Of
the country was officially placed
under the control of % economic
councils consisting mainly of leading
italian capitalists or their agents.
These councils have full control
over every detail of economic life
regarding wages and profits. Their
objective is to guarantee the profits
of Italian capitalism at the expense
of the Italian working class through
an iron rule over all workers groups
and the forbidding of any working
class protest.
The Fascist press nails this formal
granting of dominance to economic
councils and declares that Roose :
velt's N. R. A. program is really a
copy of the italian fascist model.
The corporate state" despite its
Understanding names and set-up,
is really nothing but the capitalist
state taking on some superficial out
ward changes in order to continue
to act as the agent of the Italian
capitalists and big landlords against
the workers and peasants.
Unemployment and poverty IN
Italy are steadily increasing, as the
crisis hits Italian capitalism with
all the force that it strikes other
countries without the corporate

dye workers unanimously rejected
the settlement terms presented to

and decided for a stronger picket

A similar decision was made by dye

provisions which would increase

In reviewing the proposed con-
tract point by point at the Rose
land Auditorium the workers ex-
pressed determination to stay out
for a 100 per cent union shop, a
contract for no longer than one
year, and the right to strike if the
employer does not live up to the
agreement. SiXty-siX cents was

Anthony Ammirato, president of
the Paterson local, in presenting the
contract told the workers that it
was the very best agreement that
they could get. But he was greeted
with a storm of boos. Seeing that
the workers we're indignant at his
proposal, he tried to convince them
that it be voted on by secret ballot
in each shop. But it was a hopeless
for him. The workers decisively
rejected this scheme designed to

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 1.-THE
Communist vote in Franklin Coun-
ty increased by 100 per cent over
the last state election, with 456
votes being cast as against 225 last
election.
In Marion Township, where the
Communist Party has been active
in organizing the unemployed, the
Communist vote was Is compared
with 88 for the Republican.
The Communist Party was denied
the use of the schools in this cleo
ton, it was omitted in the various
straw ballots conducted locally, and
employers here instructed their
workers how to vote, threatening
them with loss of their jobs. De-
spite all these obstacles the Com
munist vote shows a large increase
over the last elections.

lines. He admitted that the work
erS had deliberately decided to
stand on their constitutional rights
of free speech and assembly,
despite denial of police permit by

UNITED MINE UNION
SECRETARY TO HELP
ROOSEVELT COMMITTEE
Business Men Joined
by Kennedy in Fight
Against Insurance
BY Marguerite Young

DAILY Worker Washington Bureau)
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. Ii
Thomas Kennedy, secretary-treas-
urer of the United Mine Workers Of
America, will join business men and
their scientific statesmen" from
many colleges in discussing a Roose-
welt connection to substitute for
genuine unemployment insurance at
national conference which opens
here Wednesday under the auspices
Of the Presidents Committee on
Economic Security.
The Department of Labor today
listed Kennedy as one of the dis
cussion leaders for a round table on
unemployment insurance" There
was nothing in the announcement
to minimize the most enlightening
statement yet given out by any
member of the Committee-Secr
tary Perkins recent declaration
that the group never expected"
and never promised" to propose
measures for complete economic
security.
President Roosevelt will receive
the delegates to the conference and
possibly speak to them. A recently
appointed advisory council of the
Committee on Economic Security
will join in the conference and,
later, hold separate meetings. Sub
jects on the conference program are
Unemployment Insurance, child
welfare, provision of employment,
old age security and medical care"
Prof Joseph H. Willis, of the
University of Pennsylvania, which
is headed by former partner of
the j. P Morgan affiliate, Drexel
and Company, will preside at the
roundtable at which Kennedy will
speak. Others leading in this dis
cussion will be John B. Andrews,
secretary for the American Associa-
ton for Labor Legislation, reaction
airy advocate Of unemployment re-
serves frankly as a defense for the
capitalists against Unemployment
Insurance; H. w. Story, Milwaukee
manufacturer, and Prof. Paul H.
Douglas, University of Chicago pro-
fessor who has supported both So
cialist Party candidates and the
Wagner-Lewis principle of unem-
ployment reserves.
The conference will pile up a
mass of verbiage for the national
congress for unemployment insur-
ance to analyze and expose when
it assemblies here on Jan. 5, with
representatives of thousands of I'M
employed workers, professional men
and women, small home owners, A.
F. of L. rank and filters, ETC., par
ticipating. The national unemploy-
ment councils will lay before this
conference a proposal for a mass
march upon Washington next
Spring in case Congress has not
enacted by that time an unemploy-
ment insurance program embodying
the principles Of the Workers I'M
employment and Social Insurance
Bill.
It was in response to the wide
mass movement for such legislation
that the President created his COM
mittee to provide substitute.

KOCH FUNDS
NOT FOR lid,
PAPER SAYS
: Scottish orc Benefit
Said To Be for the
LeibOwitz Forces

Although the manager of Koch's
Department Store on West 125th
Street had informed three of the
Scottsboro mothers that he had
mot decided" to whom funds raised
by the store in the name of the
Socottsboro boys would be turned
over, the Amsterdam News last week
announced that the store had en-
tered an agreement to turn over
these funds to the American
Scottsboro Committee"
This means that the funds will be
turned over to forces of Samuel S.
Leibowitz, renegade defense attor-
ney, his Harlem henchmen, who
have no connection with the de-
tense, and are accused by the
Scottsboro mothers of trying to
scuttle the defense, and not to the
International Labor Defense which
has complete charge of the Scots
boro cases and is the only organ
ization, with the National Scots
boro- Herndon Action Committee,
which is authorized by the boys
and their mothers to collect funds
for their defense.
Mothers Turned Away
The store management, while re-
fusing to permit the Scottsboro
mothers to speak at the store dur
ing widely advertised three day
"Scottsboro sale" had several mem
bers of the so-called American
Scottsboro Committee" appear at
the store on the opening day of
the sale to endorse the sale" In
advertisements of the sale, the
management makes a vague prom
Use OF an indefinite generous per-
centage" from the sale for the
Scottsboro defense.
The sale, which ended last Sat-
urday night, was endorsed by
Mayor LaGuardia, STANLEY D.
Pearce of the City Farmers Trust
Company, and others who have
never raised their voice to protest
the outrageous frame-up Of the
nine Scottsboro boys which the 7.
l.. D. exposed, or lifted finger to
oppose the lynch verdicts of the
Alabama courts.
The three Scottsboro mothers
who were refused permission to an
pear at the store during the
"Scottsboro sale" are Mrs. Ida Nor
ris, mother of Clarence Norris, who
with Haywood Patterson, is facing
the electric chair on Dec. 7; Mrs.
Ida Wright, mother of Andy and
Roy Wright, and Mrs. lola Mont
gomery, mother of Glen Montgo-
merry.
At its last meeting, Thursday
night, the National Scottsboro-
Herndon Action Committee elected
a Subcommittee to Cooperate with
the /. L. D. to force the manage
ment of Koch's to turn over its
promised generous percentage" to
the real defenders of the boys. The
Action Committee declared that in
event of refusal by the store. it
would appeal to the workers of
New York, Negro and white. to
picket the store in protest.
