Section II of the N.R.A. said would be used main

this was used for the Army and Navy in
preparation for a new war. This new scheme which
Roosevelt says will be finished mainly by the banks

Attempts to Disrupt
Rank and File Meet

PATERSON, N. j., Oct 19.-Last
night at meeting of 200 shop
chairmen and delegates of the
United Textile Union dyers' locals,
the decision was again reiterated
for strike of dyers Wednesday
if the demands for union shop are
not met by the employers. The
we're broken off and
no other demands were discussed
because they we're stumped on this
first demand. There are Is 1000 dyers
in this area.
Tomorrow there will be mass
parade beginning at the headquar-
tiers Of the dyers at 203 Paterson
Street which will proceed to Peer
less Oval. There, the final mobiliza-
ton for the strike will take place.
The sentiment seems to be def
nitely for a strike, and unless some
last minute trick is pulled the strike
is inevitable.
This morning, when silk workers
announced on the union bulletin
board that a meeting is taking place
tomorrow, called by the rank and
file committee Of 25, Eli Keller, the
Lovestone agent and secretary of
the Associated Silk Workers Union,
erased it. The workers again put
the notice up on the board, which
was again erased by Keller. This
went on until an argument started,
with quite number of workers be-
ing involved. At first Eli Keller
tried to use his deputized men,
union members, IN order to dispense
the workers in the hall. Keller has
quite number of actually sworn
deputies, union men, who are sup
posed to be stationed in the union
headquarters to keep order.
Neither Keller, nor his deputized
men could do anything about it.

Before dealing specifically with each point in
Roosevels latest demagogic trickery aimed to cover
up his attacks on relief payments for the benefit
of the bankers must recall certain facts in the
passage of the N.R.A.
Then, too Roosevelt opened his drive with an
orgy of promises. Unemployment was to be ended
Wages were to go up Trade unions were to be
recognized, and the workers to be insured the
right to organize into unions of their own choice
What actually happened? Section Ia became a
force for the development of company unions; it
became an excuse for militia in strikes against the
workers. The standards of living of the workers
were driven down terrificay, as Code No. 1 in
the textile industry so glaringy proved when 100000
workers went out on strike against it.
Now Roosevelt Grapes his new program with even
more shameless promises.

0UT OF the magic hat of the New Deal, Roosevelt
has drawn four rabbits to distract the attention
OF the toilng masses from the real issues confront
ing them in the forthcoming elections After long
conferences with leading Wall Street bankers after
fulsome praise from the Chamber of Commerce, as
well as from the A. F. of L. of1cialdom, Roosevelt
comes out with four tricky schemes to befudde
the workers.
Let us see the background of Roosevelt,s chief
campaign promises. Lately, a heavy barrage of
propaganda has been let loose by the leading bank
ers and industrialists insisting on cutting down
of unemployment relief. of scrapping Federal relief
jobs. Because Roosevelt recognizes that his
promises of ending unemployment through the
N.R.A. have been completely exploded that the
need for relief is mounting every day, he has hit
upon new schemes to fool the masses while carry
ing through the wishes Of the bankers and other
exploiters.
In fact campaign is now under way in the
capitalist press, similar to that which preceded the
passage of the N.R.A. This time without excep-

Central Labor Council
Backs Tammany Slate

The Central Labor Council Of
New York, with few exceptions, en-
dorsed the entire Tammany slate
in the present election campaign.
The notable exception was the en-
dorsement of the Republican
Fusion candidate for controller, D.
McGoldrick.
Sascha Zimmerman, Lovestonite
delegate from the dress branch of
the IL.G.W.U., was also present at
the meeting. During the discussion,
Zimmerman did not take the floor
in order to state his position. He
did not speak against the regular
slate proposed by the Central Labor
Council officials. The only time
Zimmerman rose to object to any
of their proposals, was during the
very end of the session, when a list
of judges to be endorsed was read
off.
Zimmerman rose and opposed,
saying, II cannot face the dress
workers and tell them that the Cen
trail Labor Council supports Judge
Rosalsky's candidacy" Thereupon
Ryan, president of both the Coun-
Gil and the International Long
shoremen Association, rose and
agreed to Withdraw Rosalsky's
nomination. Rosalsky has sentenced
many pickets to Jail. Zimmerman
knew that Rosalsky's endorsement
would never pass unnoticed among
the garment workers.

In his keynote speech at Buffalo

This means that one third of the

sixteen million people are on relief
In the country. This means that
there are twenty-four million people
in the United States without relief.

However, william Green's esti-

c., on Jan. 5, 6 and 7, 1885, were
yesterday addressed to all trade
unions, workers organizations and
individuals by a wide group OF
sponsors for genuine unemployment
and social insurance.
The call sets forth four provisions
which any genuine unemployment
insurance drafted in the interests
of the working population must
embrace. These provisions are:
"1-Compensation must be at
least equal to the average wages
which workers could earn if per-
mitted to work in their normal &C.
equations and localities. 1t must
in no case be permitted to fall be-
low fixed minimum of health
and decency.
Such compensation can and
must be provided by and only at
the expense of the government and
the employers. No contributions
in any form should be levied upon
workers and other low-income
groups.
"3-All workers, regardless OF
age, occupation, race, color, sex,
nationality, citizenship, religious or
political belief, must be assured
such compensation for all time lost
because of involuntary unemploy-
ment, old age, industrial accident
or sickness, and maternity.
Representatives directly elect
ed by the workers should admin
lister the social insurance system so
that it would be operated in ac-
