Raymon d Moley, Roosevelt's
ballyhoo specialist for the coming
elections, boasts of the success" of
the New Deal" in the auto industry
He eXultantly lists the following
profits as proof of this extraordi-
nary success:
Automobiles and Trucks-net
income for the first six months of
this year. $40, 900, a SO per cent
increase over the same period last
year.
Automobile parts and tires:
Net profit for the first six months
of 1894, S21,491, 900 compared with
deficit of S2,396,O 900 in 1888.
This is indeed rich succession
the automobile factory owners and
the stockholders of motor shares.
But how did the auto workers get
along during this period of the
Roosevelt NRA-New Deal? What
share did they get in this Roose-
veltian feast?
A quick survey of the auto work
ers' conditions reveals a picture of
grinding speed-up and miserably
inadequate wages.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Oct. g.
Charles Statfeld, Communist cleo
ton campaign manager in this
state, yesterday declared that there
is, strong possibility of electing a
Communist Mayor in Bicknell, I'M
portant coal mining community.
With the place of Communist
candidates on the State ballot vir-
tually assured by the filing of nom

the legally required number, the
Communist Party is launching an
energetic election campaign.
Aside from the State ticket, Com

Call Wisconsin
Conference on
Workers Bill
All Groups Are Asked
To Send Delegates to
Oct. % Farley

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Oct. "a
State conference to plan action for
the enactment of the Workers I'm
employment Insurance Bill, in
crease relief, and adoption of the
Farmers Emergency Relief Bill will
be held here on Sunday, Oct. %, at
10 am, at. 300 West Walnut Street
under the auspices of the State
Committee of the Unemployment
Councils and the International
Workers Order.
All labor unions, unemployed or
CARNATIONS, fraternal, cultural and
benefit societies and farmers groups
have been asked to elect delegates
The call to the conference points
out that for over year the State
Legislature Of Wisconsin has not
appropriated relief funds. Yet $780,
900 workers and their dependents
throughout the state are on the
relief lists and other hundreds of
thousands Of destitute workers get
no relief whatsoever.
Groves Law Mockery
The Groves Law wisconsin I'm
employment Compensation Act), the
only State law in the country which
pretends to establish unemployment
insurance, does not provide benefits
to present unemployed, teachers,
domestic workers, railroad men en-
gagged in interstate commerce, lum-
Der men, fam employees, men and
women employed by the federal
government, or workers employed
in shops employing less than ten
persons.
The Wisconsin Act, which is III
accord with the so-called "Ameri-
can Plan for unemployment re-
serves, was passed at a special SEES
sion of the State Legislature on
Jan. 20, 1882. 1t provided that the
law would not become effective IN
til 175,000 workers were employed
in the State. In June 1888, the law
was amended to reduce the coverage
to 10000 workers.
At most it would give insurance
of So to $40 for not more than ten
weeks in any one year to a worker.
To receive this benefit, a worker
must have resided in the State for
two years, or have been employed
in the State for forty weeks within
that PERIOD workers who are on
strike are disqualified from benefits;
to get benefits they must register at
State unemployment Offices, and if
any work whatsoever is offered, and
the work refused, the worker is
automatically disqualified from fur
Their benefit payments.
For Genuine Social Insurance
The workers Unemployment and
Social Insurance Bill around which
the conference is called, was initi-
ated by the Communist Party and
drafted after thousands of workers
had planned the bill. 1t provides
for the payment of benefits equal
to local average wages in no case
less than ten dollars week for
every worker unemployed through
no fault Of his own.
The Workers Bill, included in the
Communist cleo tion platform,
states. For unemployment and So
oial insurance at the expense of
the employers and the State; for
the Workers Unemployment Insur-
ance Bill; for emergency relief to
the impoverished and drought
stricken farmers without restriction
by the government or banks; ex-
emption of farmers from taxation;
cancellation of the debts of poor
farmers; for the Farmers Emer-
| gency Relief Bill"

mum work!" Minimum wages" She had gathered though, that tho boss was sorry to have her go; only he couldn't help 1t. He had to raise wages, and so he could only keep those who could do enough work to make 1t pay.
 She had managed to glean enough of what he was saying to stammer out that she'd bo glad to work for less; even less than she was getting now. But he had ex- plained that he couldn't do 1t. A thing called 0 code wouldn't let him. And this MIRA was the boss of the code.
 And then, the strange thing had happened. That very night over the radio, she had heard the presi- dent talking about this NRA. How 1t was going to make everything better for everybody. Thero was to be more pay for fewer hours work; 1t was a Now Deal, and every one was going to hold q bet ter hand than they had before.
 Ma Mcguire had listened with growing bewilderment. The prosi- dent couldn't be mistaken! Just from the sound of his voice you knew he was telling the truth. She had glanced up at the picture of him, that she had pinned on the wall, and his eyes looked straight back into hers, as his words rang In her ears.
 It was at that moment that she had the great idea. She would

 Ma Mcguire, for all her gentle simplicity, was no fool. She knew as well as though Mamie had fin- ished her sentence that she was going to say, "sIck on my hands"

Mamie had. She was like Q wood. becker at the bark of q tree, the way she'd dig in after a secret.
 The necessity os throwing Mamie off the scent braced Ma Mcguire over the acute dlsappoint- ment that had been accommodating now for two weeks. By the time the children had gone back to school after lunch, she had reached u state of despairing res- iEnation.
 Of course, 1t had been a crazy thing to do! She muttered a little prayer to the Good God to forgive her for her audacity, and to help her realize her blessings. Mamie as good girl, for all she was 50 quick and snappy. And who could be after blaming her. with all she had to do? And Pat was u son to be proud of.
 Ma Maguire moved over to the window Of her room on tiptoe. She was supposed to bo taking a nap after lunch It was easier to pre- tend to take ono, than to argue about 1t.
 With q sigh of satisfaction. she saw Mamie run down the steps and round the corner in the diree- ton of tho store. As she disap- poared, q smart new roadster turned into the street.

 There was something in the sympathetic interested expression of the brown eyes looking at her that warmed Ma Maguire's heart.
 Words failed her, she nodded, and motioned him to thee parlor.

MY GRANDMOTHER No tighter person ever lived Than came from Coventry; No sweeter lady ever breathed Than the one she used to be- There were few who understood her, For her ways were always such That one would think her bitter, If they didn't know her much. At times she'd be so jolly
 And cause us so much fun, We'd be anything but happy When she left us on the run. She left us seven years ago For land across the seas She never could stay still, you know, For she was busy as the bees But alas the day has come, When she, no more we'll see. Her great work on earth is done And she's retired to safety.
