! Mr.. Roosevelt to inscrioe in new
letters the word, profits, on their
temple out of which the President,
at the height of his demagogic in
ventiveness had threatened to drive
them.
Big business is celebrating this
open reinsurance, the kernel of the
ultimatum handed to PRESIDENT
Roosevelt, just before the latter's
"fireside" talk, by the Chamber Of

To Serve as No. l Man
Billed by the manufacturers pub
licity as NO. 2 man of the Adj
ministration, Richberg will DEM
onstrate that he could also act 10
their satisfaction as the No. l man.
At the very moments the machine
gun, thug and wage cutting WORK
is being done in towns controlled by
the corporations in czaristic fashion,
Richberg will supply the denagogy
necessary to capitalism while it is
rigging up its fascist machinery.
Richberg, the legalizer of the COM
pany union, will enunciate the SUBJ
stance of his Wednesday night adj

Manufacturers Of America. "Trads

along the road on which we have
set our feet-the road of self-dis-
cipline and a democratic coopers-

ing toward a typically American
solution in typically American
way. We have sought to use
physical mechineries and social
mechanisms with which we we're
familiar and which we knew how

Richberg's "typically American
solution" is the solution" which
the employing class is Using in the
attempt to get out OF the rive year
crisis at the expense of its en-
subsistence wages, made
quate relief, terror against militant
labor and the use of the strike, and
billion dollar preparations for the
threatening imperialist war for
dominating a shrinking market.
The ruling class, Richberg also
declared, is approaching the time
when we must decide-all of us,
public officials, industrialists and
labor CA. F. of L. officialS-S. W.
to what extent we should carry into
more permanent legislation the .'e-
laXat!onS and the restraints of the
National Industrial Recovery Act"
1t has already indicated its decision
-anti-strike, low wages, terror and
increased war preparations.
However, many thousands of A.
F. of l.. locals, several international
A. F. of l.. union conventions, cen
tral labor bodies, and other working
class groups have decided to fight
for the adoption of the only real
unemployment and social insurance
bill which was introduced in the last
Congress-the Workers Unemploy-
ment and Social Insurance Bill.
They will map out their campaign
at the National Congress for I'm

in Washington, January 5 to 7.
