Roosevelt Proclams An Offensive Against the Jobess

THE hope of the American working class and mil

the approaching National Congress for Unemploy-
ment and Social Insurance to open its doors at
Washington on January 5, s and Z.

their voice.
ance," Roosevelt, in his latest speech, proclaims
an open offensive against every attempt to create
real Federal unemployment insurance plan. Using
few trick phrases, Roosevelt's speech gives the
masses notice that every effort to win unemploy-

er 1yers and the banks, will be ruthlessly fought
by Roosevelt. Cloaked in liberastic phraseA

Roosevelt's speech is the declaration Of reaction
against the rising demands of the starving millions
who have work or who face the streets
noes not every worker remember how Roosevelt
promised 'real unemployment insurance?
But what Roosevelt at last offers after eighteen
months of steadily growing Unemployment and mis-

or security to the American workers
What is Roosevet's unemployment insurance"
plan? Boil down all the honeyed words and what
do you get? Merely that Roosevelt urges Federal

What about the 100000 million people who

BRUSSELS, Nov. 15.-The chief
nations in the gold bloc, France,
Belgium, Switzerland, Poland and
Holland, are hurting accusations at
one another of robbing trade by
stealthily initiating the currency.
For example, Swiss resort-owners
are taking pounds sterling from
British tourists at 16 francs, which
signifies that a British tourist will
be induced to spend his money in
Switzerland rather than in France,
since the pound is worth more in
st. Moritz than in Chamonix, right
across the border.
Middle class sections and an up
per fraction of the industrialists in
each of the gold bloc countries are
struggling for open initiation as the
only remaining competitive weapon
for cutting production costs by cut
ting wages. Meanwhile shipments
of gold are travelling west to Eng
land and America, as the countries
where initiation has become COM
paratively stabilized. American capi-
talists, in alarm at the quantity of
gold entering the country have low
cred the barriers against gold leay-
ing the u. S., in order to insure
the continuance of high prices and
low real wages.

m 0 N 0 PO LY BY INITIATION

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 15-
Following the recent disclosures of
huge robbery of consumers by the
utility companies, the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company
came under fire today as an inves-
tigation of the financial structure
of this Wall Street giant monopoly
was ordered
The Commission will begin an in
vestigation of the company's profits,
but will have no power to execute
changes other than to take court
action against the telephone trust.
The American Telephone and
Telegraph Company controls more
than 95 per cent of the country's
telephone lines through a vast en-
pire of interlocking connections. 1t
is one of the country's billion dollar
corporations whose securities are
controlled by the Wall Street firm
of j. P. Morgan
The investigation of the Wall
Street utility monopolies does not
mean that the Roosevelt govern
ment is taking any steps to cut in
on the profits of these monopolies.
1t merely means that these investi-
cations are conducted to give the
appearance of the Roosevelt govern
ment fighting the monopolies, while
his actual MIRA. policies aid these
monopoles. In addition, certain
top-heavy financial structures and
inef1ciencies due to swollen mon
opoly set-ups stand in the way of
war efficiency which the Roose-
velt government requires.
The company controls all the
patents and manufacturing branches
of the industry, as well as the COM
munication sections. In recent years
in has been steadily raising its rates
It's stock distribution is fairly
widespread, giving capitalist econo-
mists the idea that the company
is democratically owned and con-
trolled. The exact opposite is true,
since the ownership Of small blocks
of telephone stock merely permits
the Morgan f1nanciers to dominate
more and more the savings of the
small investor.

Roosevelt Gives Service
TO Wall Street in
Capital Speech

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The full
meaning of the Roosevelt speech
on unemployment insurance last
night before the National Confer
ence on Economic Security as mark
ing the beginning Of a new drive
to increased profits while all prom
ised social" schemes will have to
wait indefinitely was made apparent
late today in the reactions of many
observers here.
Singled out for particular COM
ment was Roosevelt's remark in his
speech that his whole promised pro-
gram Of old sge and general social
security will have to wait while
Roosevelt works to get "the econo-
mic system to function"
Our first task is to get the
economic system to function so
there will be greater security gen
orally" Roosevelt stated.
Il do not know whether this is
the time" Roosevelt said, for any
federal legislation on old-age secur-
ity. At this time we are
deciding on long time detectives.
We are developing a plan of ad-
ninistration into which can be fitted
the various parts of the security
program when it is timely to do
so"
In these remarks observers saw
today the open alignment of Roose-
velt with the avowed program Of
the group of Wall Street financial
cliques and monopolies that all So
called reform" will have TO wait
while profits are restored and in
creased with the aid of the Roose-
yelt government.
With the reaction against Roose-
velt's speech one of keen disappoint-
ment even among many of the
capitalist liberals" who had been
led to expect that Roosevelt would
seriously tackle the crying needs of
unemployment and social insurance
on a national scale, it was said to-
day that Roosevelt still has an
open mind" on social insurance
proposals. This announcement was
made to placate the rising resent
ment at his speech.
But no change is looked for in
policy, as Roosevelt has made it
quite clear that none of his schemes
has any immediate significance or
will cost the employers a single cent
of new taxes.

Strikeb r e akin & Move
of German Is
Revealed

PATERSON, Nov. Is. - TIL a t
Francis German, betrayer of the
General Textile Strike is aiming
also to betray the strike of the silk
and rayon dyerS, was revealed from
facts brought out at yesterdays
meeting of shop chairmen and dele
gates of the strikers.
When discussion developed on
why efforts we're not made to strike
the dyers Of Pennsylvania, George
Baldanzi, president of the Fedora
ton Of Dye Workers, declared that
German had instructed the Allen
town local that members of the To-
cal are not affected by the strike
call and that they are to stay on
the job, and if pickets come from
Paterson, to chase them out of
town. 1t was further reported that
Tavano, one of the leaders of the
strike, stated he has proof that
such instructions were telegraphed
by German to the Allentown local
The shop chairmen and delegates
were aroused to very angry mood
at this strikebreaking action of the
union officials, and decided that all
dye shops outside the North Jersey
area will be pulled out at all costs,
to demand that German call out
these locals which thus far have
not been affiliated with the Fed
Grafton of Dyers, and in case inlne-
diate action is not taken a large
delegation of strikers is to be sent
to the U. T. w.
These facts on Gorman's role re-
call the announcement by the fed
Grafton officials, in the early days of
the strike, that squads are being
sent to bring out Allentown. The
workers who volunteered were
turned back, and informed that the
mayor of Allentown ordered all
outside strikers to be kept out of
town. German was likewise max
ing efforts to take part in the ne
gotiations and did everything pos
sible to engineer a no-strike settle
ment. The workers now quite gen.
orally consider that German is
working in collusion with Allen
towns mayor.

Leading the exposure of govern

organizations, the secretary of the
Communist Party of France Maurice
Thorez, in debate in the Cham
Der Of Deputies, urged the imme-
diate united opposition of all the
radical sections to the reactionary
program of Premier Etienne Flan-
din.
Communist workers" Thorez de-
clared, will support all those who
are opposed TO the criminal activity
of reactionary and fascist officers
in the army" To the applause of
all the lefts" in the Chamber,
Thorez followed his words with a
demand for the dissolution and dis
armament Of every fascist organiza-
ton. The Communists, he ex-
planned, will support every fight for
the democratic rights of the masses,
provided their daily needs are not
neglected, and provided the fight
for even the smallest gains of the
workers is waged at every oppor-
tunity.
The Socialist Deputy Lebas sup-
ported the demand for the dissolu-
ton of fascist organizations. Leon
Blum, leader of the French Social
ist Party, declared that Against
fascism no civil peace is possible.
The last administration often
showed that civil peace was the
covering for cooperating with it,
Socialists, he said. were firmly

NEW YORK.-One thousand stu

meeting which was permitted on

from Dean Gottschall, yesterday

hour strike on Tuesday between the
hours of II and l.
The mass meeting, which pro-

mitted by the school administration
on the ground that none other than
members of the student body be

barred the expelled students and
speakers from outside sympathetic
organizations.
Following the mass meeting, a
picket line of about 300 students
paraded the campus, shouting their
demands for the ousting of Presi-

students. Although no permit has
been granted for the mass picket
line, the students swept past the
police.
Following the picket line, Edwin

National Student League, and one
of the expelled students, addressed
the gathering despite the official

PARIS, Nov. Is (By Wireless) -
While the Executive Committee of
the Second International deliber-
ated in closed session, united front
leaders in France, Spain, Italy and
the Saar today echoed the anxiety
and impatience of Socialists and
Communists throughout the world
at the unwarrsnted delay in gath
ering the forces of the international
proletariat against the rising wave
of war and fascism.
Two reporters, returning here
from Madrid, brought with them a
signed leaflet from the imprisoned
thousands of Socialist workers ask
ing news of united front negotia-
tions and urging that not moment
be lost in effecting the broadest
united action.
The answer to the united front
proposals of the Communist Inter
national will be rendered only after
lengthy discussions, and the official
communique giving the decision of
the Executive Committee will not be
released before Friday. Friedrich
Adler, secretary of the Second IN
ternational, let it be known. Al
though all the leaders present are
widely known as enemies of the
united front, these leaders are now
the arbiters of the negotiations.
Some Enemies of Unity
Not only are the heads of the
Scandinavian, Netherlands a n d
British Labor Parties against the
united front, but they would like
to find means of breaking unity
wherever it has been accomplished,
as in France and the Saar. How
ever, they do not go as far as this.
Adler and Emile VanderveIde,
chairman of the S. l., take the posi-
ton Of favoring unity only as local
episodes" without wishing to assign
it any international significance,
and inasmuch as they are desirous
of satisfying the English, Scan
dinavian and other workers, who
are counting on the success of the
negotiations, they are looking for
some reasonable form in which to
clothe their refusal.
To be sure, they have declared
themselves for the united front, but

condition that the Soviet Union

when one considers that millions OF jobleSs workers

four years, the utter worthlessness of Roosevelts
plan is evident
ROOSEVELTS plan is not an endorsement of the
~ principle of unemployment insurance. 1t is
shrewd piece of hypocrisy using the phrase 'unem-
poyment insurance" only in order to trample bru-

should have.

decreed by the Alabama Supreme
Court. The I. L. D. which has
complete charge of the defense, has
already fled notice of appeal with
the U. S. Supreme Court anu is
pushing the printing of the briefs
and has engaged Walter Pollak,
Americas foremost constitutional
lawyer, to argue the appeals before
that court. 1t was Pollak who,
backed by worldwide mass protest,
succeeded in getting a reversal of
the death sentences against eight
of the nine boys in the first appeal
taken by the l. L. D. to the U. S.
