 .. Approximately 95 per cent of all industrial workers are covered by MIRA codes providing higher wages and shorter working hours.
 8. Ninety-nine out of every 100 counties has at least one PWA project.
 Q. Living costs have gone up slightly faster than the individual workers pay.
 10.-Industry was employing 4O,- 1so,000 persons in June of this year.
 Prepared By Richberg
 The report dealt with industrial unemployment relief through pri- vate enterprise (NRA), and public works. It was prepared by Rich berg as secretary of the executive council.
 Buried in the report was an- nouncement that PWA Administra- tor Harold L. Ickes had recom- mended legislation to continue PWA at least until 1897. That ia two years beyond the date set by Mir Roosevelt for the country to be- gin living within it's income.
 Ickes has $35,O00,00O left of his $3,700, 100000 appropriation.
 Today's report is the first of seven for presentation to Rr Roosevelt by midSeptember as the congressional campaign enters its final stage. The reports, providing new deal candidates with ammuni- tion, will present: Agricultural re- lief; relief of destitution; relief of financial pressure; advance in pub lie services; administrations serv- iccs; and promotion of foreign trade.
 New Jobs Increased
 The employment statistics of va rious agencies are not correlated ana the aggregate of new jobs list ed Is well above 5,300,000. Rich- berg said the figures were impress sive evidence of continued unem- ployment. Unofficial estimates place the jobless at 100000 to 10,000,- 900.
 Labor's share in the national in- come was reported lip from 5S,3 in June 1893 to 62.5 in June 1884. Richberg said June living costs had increased 9.6 per cent while the weekly wage increased only S,5 per cent.
 "Therefore," he continued, "the average manufacturing worker s purchasing power remained prac- tically unchanged; although by shortening hours he shared his work with new employees, without an individual loss in real wages. "

 George Greet, a war time direc- tor of public information, and Justus S. Wardenn, original Cali fornia Roosevelt for president leader, oppose Sinclair. The White House has kept hands off although an opportunity to check Sinclair would be welcome. But endorse ment of Creel would offend War denn and help for Wardell would antagonize the McAdoo state ma chine. Sinclair is conceded a large slice of votes.
 Except for the socialists threat, California democrats are happy. State registration for the first time is preponderately democratic-a holdover of the anti-H Hoover senti- ment of 1882.

Goss Throws Weight
 Behind Survey Plan
Senator WalcOtt Only Congressional Representative in State to Oppose Plan to Provide Vets With Jobs

Congressman E. W. Goss of this city has agreed to support the plan proposed by Major Leonard J. Ma 1oney, veterans placement officer Tor Connecticut. whereby 1891 vet erans will be put to work under the CWA making a traffic survey in the state. United States Senator Frederic c. Walcott of Norfolk, re- publican, is the only representa- live of Connecticut in congress who has declared he will oppose inc plan. It is hoped that the plan, when passed, will aid about 200 To- cal veterans.
 United States Senator Augustine Lonergan of Hartford and Cong ressn1an Francis T. Maloney of Meriden, William L. Higgins of New London, Charles M. Bakewell of New Haven, and Herman Kop- Qleman of Hartford have agreed to support the plan. also. Congress, man Schuyler Merritt of Fairfield opposed to the plan, he will not support 1t.
 Congressman Goss said: Please count upon me to do anything I possibly can to aid in obtaining approval of this natter. The pro- feet would employ these veterans of the World war in Connecticut, who have dependents. It is esti- mated that the sum of $162, 325 will be needed to carry on the work. This will mean an increase in Con- l1ecticut's quota of works ands its CWA appropriation.
 The idea, when launched a couple of weeks ago by Major Ma 1oney, was heartily received in Waterbury by veterans organiza- lions and by local Administrator William M. Harris, himself.

BEATS WAY BACK AFTER
 ONE YEAR FIGHT
Michigan Started Things One Year Ago To-day
 Recovery Plan Won
BY LIsLE c. WILSON

Washington, Feb l4-Business is beating back today on the first an- ] niversary of the Michigan bank moratorium which led ultimately to the closing of every bank door in the United States. President Roosevelt estomates the net recov- cry bill will be about $10,000,000,- 900.
 By June 30, 1895, the end of a fiscal year, Mir Roosevelt believes the emergency spending period of recovery will be over. Thencefor- ward, the nation is ti live within its income, if administration plans do not miscarry. The $10, ,000.000,- 900 recovery bill represents the diff ference between our national debt before Roosevelt = $22, 2,537,9S1,- 7S9-and what it is expected to be on June 30, 1885. By that date we as nation will owe $31 1884, 100000.
 Michigan banks did not open one year ago today. A proclamation by Governor William A. Comstock kept them closed. Other states joined with closing orders or re- strictions until Delaware became the 18th in the parade of depres- sion late on the night of March4. President Roosevelt's nationwide closing proclamation issued the next day (Sunday) prevented any bank from opening for business on Monday morning, March 6.
 Corn and cotton have doubled in price since February a year ago. Wheat has done almost as well. Hogs are up. Government agencies estimate the recovery program has re-emp1oyed 6,000,000 persons, about 100000 of them in the CWA which is to be disbanded May 1. Some$2, 900, 900, 900 still is tied up in banks which did not open after the March proclamation. The aggregate value of stocks listed on the New York stock exchange was s23,OO0, 900, 900 in February, 1893, and 7,00O,000,00 this year.
 Michigan, which brought bad news a year ago, brings good news today Senator Vandenberg, repn., Mich, author of the deposit in surance amendment to the Glass; Steagall bank bill, says:
 "The (Federal Deposit Insur- ance corporation) not only has brought insurance to 53,00,00O0 depositors but it has made the banking structure sounder, in my judgment, than banks have been in the past 50 years"
 The edic became operative on a temporary insurance plan Jan l. It has $300,000,000 on hand now to protect depositors up to $250O.

GARBAGE BIDS TO
 BE SOUGHT SOON
Committee Named to Give Out Contract By Board
 of Public Works

Orders to call for bids for the collection of garbage were issued last night by the board of works. Mayor Frank Hayes, Corporation Counsel Charles S. O'Connor, Health Officer Dr E. J. Godfrey and Controller Daniel J. Leary were named committee to call the bids and award the contract. Attor- ney O'Connor is now preparing the contract which will call for the most modern of collection equip ment. At the present time the city hires individuals to do col- lecting, but under the new plan the contract will go direct to one per- son or firm. -
 The meeting of, the board was brief. Superintendent of Streets Thomas Fleming was instructed to investigate the complaint of An thony Daukas of 543 Washington avenue to the effect that the sur- face of Harriet avenue is higher than the sidewalk in front of his property with the result that sur- face water runs over the walk and freezes. He also requested that $150 be cut off his $650 layout and grade assessment. He has already paid $500. He was told to file a petition with the alder men. - @
 To the engineering department was referred request of owner of the property at the corner of East Main and Orange streets that he be allowed to encroach on the 15- foot building line. He plans to erect a gasoline station.
 Upon the recommendation of Commissioner c. Arthur DuBois, the request that Faber avenue be laid .out and grader was tabled. Most of the property owners, he said, do not feel that they are able to pay assessments at this time.
 Commissioner Albert Loeffler recommended that the light on the steps on Circuit avenue be shifted to another position. The matter was referred to the lighting

'F.E.R.A. Union
In South Bend
Seeks Pay Rise
Endorsement of Wage
Demand Is Wrung from
City Council

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Nov. 1S.-
The Union Of F.E.R.A. Workers
here is taking immediate steps 20
broaden and extend the fight for
fifty cents hourly rates on the re-
lief jobs, for the thirty hour week
and for unemployment insurance
Already, although small and newly
organized, committees from this or
ganization have forced the City
Council to endorse their demands
for the fifty cent wage rate, have
won coal for some of their members,
and are fighting for winter clothing
and shoes.
Their action in sending commit
tees to the City Council has dis
closed the fact that the authorized
rate for F.E.R.A. work here is fifty
cents. The wages now paid are forty
cents, but an exchange of letters
between Representative Pettengill
and Harry L. Hopkins, F.E.R.A. ad-
miniStrator, showed that the higher
rate, the same as paid on C.W.A.
should have been made at the start
of FER.A. work.
Accordingly, the workers have
started fight for the authorized
rate and all back pay due them
since the start of F.E.R,A. A speaker
has been elected to meet with the
United Voters League of Elkhart
on Friday, asking them to Join in
the wage fight. About 400 workers
belong to the Voters League.

and are making moves to unite with
German whom Thomas shields =,
and with Dubinsky and Hillman, to
form, what they fraudulently term,
a Labor Party" in reality a top
combination of N. r. A. officials
(Hillman, Dubinsky, etc. and right
wing Socialist" lawyers to collab-
crate with the New Deal in the
name of Labor Party. In doing
so, the right wing is stealing a
march on Thomas, who himself
seemed to have been seeking such
combination. The right wing is
definitely on the offensive.
For the Socialist Party member
ship, these developments can only
serve to make the issues clearer.
They will see now better than here
tofore that compromise with the
right wing and steady capitulation
to it, the policy which Norman
Thomas has been pursuing ever
since the Detroit Convention, means
capitulation to Dubinsky, German,
Hillman; and that this means ca
pitulation to Roosevelt, to the New
Deal, to monopoly capital; in short,
it means the betrayal of all the
class struggle sentiments and ideas
which moved the majority of the
S. P. membership to vote for the
Declaration of Principles. Further
more, it should be clear now to
every honest member of the Social
list Party that the only alternative
to compromise with and capitula-
ton to the right wing, which means
the New Deal, is a bold policy of
united front with the Communist
Party. In this way we will fight
together for the most burning needs
of the workers, for their demands
and their rights We will fight to-
gether in the trade unions to or
ganize the unorganized, for real
trade union democracy, for rank
and file leadership as against the
agents of the N. r. A., for trade
union unity. We will fight together
in support of our Spanish brothers.
We will fight honestly, militantly,
and the masses will be with us.
Don't Be Deceived
Don't be deceived by the sophisms
of some weakened "militants"
that by going with the Communist
Party in united front you will
become isolated" from the organ
lied labor movement. The con-
trary is true. Only by joining with
the Communists in the unions will
you become of real value to the
unions as fighters for class struggle
policies and against class collabora-

fact, of it's majority. For, what else
does their vote for the Declaration
of Principles indicate? In voting
for this declaration, they pledged
themselves to meet war and the
detailed plans for war already
mapped out by the war-making
arms of the government, by massed
war resistance" This means daily
struggle for the postponement and
delay of war. In voting for this
declaration, they pledged themselves
to fight fascism of every kind all
the time and everywhere in the
world" This means daily struggle
for the defense of workers rights.
against capitalist terror, especially
for the right to organize and strike.
But this is precisely what the Com
munist Party has been doing right
along. This is what the Commu-
mist Party has repeatedly called
upon the Socialist Party to join us
in doing, This being the case, why
further delay and procrastination
of the united front with the Com
munlst Party?
Delays Not Wanted
We know that the rank and file
workers of the Socialist Party do
not want any more delays. The
united front between the Socialist
and Communist organizations in
Trumbull County, Ohio, and in
Taylor Springs, ILL.,, shows that the
S. P. membership took their pledges
seriously and are moving to action
The same is true of the united front
negotiations between the Italian
Federation of the S. P. and the
italian Section of the C. P. This
is further evidenced by the broad
ening activities of the Committee
for Socialist Action for the United
Front 1t is not clear that fur
their delay by the N. E. C. of the
s. P. to act favorably on the united
front offer of the Communist Party,
means frustrating the will of the
ma icrity of the S. P. membership.
that it means violating important
obligations assured by the Declara-
ton of Principles?
At this point, we are moved to
recall that, when Norman Thomas
was still fighting for a majority in
the N. E. c. of the S. p, he said
that he favored united front with
the Communist Party, without wait
ing for the Second International.
He then wrote:
although organic unity be-
tween Socialists and Communists
IS impossible. there is theoretically
