Of a high Government official that
the red-headed Nine. Lupescu,
friend of King Carol, be banished

DOWNTOWN WASHINGTON:


Almost every day I have re-
quests for rooms in the down.
town section and I feel more
than justified in recommending
this beautiful furnished room.
Carrying out a color scheme Of
a deep shade of blue, the deco
rations were most pleasing to
the eye. This would be eS-
pecially nice for a couple who
work in the government, as the
room is nicely equipped with
twin beds and all necessities for
the comfort of two. Meals will
be served if desired. AS it is in
the downtown section, almost in
the heart of the town, I am
sure you would find it a very
convenient place to live.
22OO BLOCK OF
DECATUR PLACE:
Pleasant surroundings, cul-
tured atmosphere, beautiful old
rugs with their gorgeous color
ings, are all part of this house
I visited today. The gracious
owner would like several young
ladies to share her home with
her and judging from the living
room with open fireplace and
shelves full of interesting books,
it would, indeed, be pleasant.
One Of the bedrooms was fur.
nished in early American maple
and had twin beds. The front
room color scheme was tur-
Quoise and the gold drapes at
the window accentuated the
outstanding beauty Of the room.
This home is somewhat unusual
and in view Of the fact it is
centrally located, I am sure it
will be much in derland.

Gbove places. fill out the coupon

vise you the desired information.

The end of the Christmas sea
son won't be the end of the Civ
ing season-not if several million
persons and their political and
economic prophets have their
way.
The next Congress is going
to give some of these persons
some of the things they want.
Mr.. RooSevelt's political "It'
will stop the next Congress from
giving a lot more.
If Congress gave all the things
for which it is going to be asked
there probably wouldn't be any
money left for ordinary folks
Christmas gifts next year.
It would all go into taxes.
One thing Congress is almost
certain to give is the bonus.
There will be some pulling and
hauling, some efforts at a com
promise and, after the bonus has
been passed, maybe a presidential
veto.
It is doubtful if Mr.. Roosevelt's
political 1T" can prevent a veto
from being overridden.
Congress also will be asked tc
give a lot of dollars in the form
of the Townsend old-age pension
plan.
That is the plan that calls fol
the payment Of 5000 month tc
persons over so, with the provision
that the money be spent in &c
days.
1t is a reasonably good bet oi
your first months pension that
Congress won't pass such a meas
ure.
Huey Long is going to do 8
lot Of asking right on the flool
Of Congress.
He is going to ask for a score
Of giving" measures. He will
call it a share.the-wealth plan.
Long may find some support
in some Of his taxation proposals
but not enough to put any o1
them over.
There will be emissaries from
other planners who will knock al
the doors of Congress with pro
posals for giving.
Proposals will be made for leg
islation that would incorporate
Father Coughlin's share-our
profits plan.
These probably will be tied ir
with proposals for monetary leg
islation because most of the sup
porters of Father Coughlin's pro
posalS in Congress are in the
ranks Of the inflationists.

Wall Street Monopoly Capitalists Tighten Their Grip
On Roosevelt Regime Prepare Attacks Workers
An Editorial

And where the A. F. Of L. ofhcisldom has sue
ceeded in getting the workers under its control,
these oficials have become part Of the N. r. A.
strike breaking machinery. In either case, the
workers have been bound and disarmed in the fight
against the offensive of the Wall Street monopolies
MORE open monopoly domination wage cuts,
=" higher prices, company unions speed-up, forced
labor, calous relief policies and terrorism-an ad-
vance toward fascsn-these are the salient fea-
lures of Roosevelts latest turn for recovery" The
New Deal becomes every day more openly the pro-
gram of the trusts and monopoes against the
masses 1t becomes more clearly the medium for
the ushering in of fascist dictatorship
The defense of the every day needs of the
masses, the defense of the trade unions, the fight
for higher wages for shorter hours without pay cuts
for cash relief and unemployment and social insur-
ance-these are now the great and vital tasks that
face the working class.
The welding of the united front of the forces of
labor, in the unions and shops it is clear, is now
the great need to smash the new offensive which
Roosevelt and the industrialists are now organiz-
ing in Washington. At the same time the raying
of the for their dayto-day struggles is the
key to the struggle against fascist reaction.

1858. If this rate of increase con-
tinued, it would mean an actual in
crease of only $1,000 900, and 81
100000 a month"; drop in an
ocean.
The completely negative quality
Of this increase can be appreciated
in the light of total contemplated
construction estimates reported to
the Dodge Corporation. They showed
that from June, 1888, through April,
1884. estimates of expected con-
tracts totaled about 100000 900.
The July, 1884, figure dropped to
$243 100000. The September. 1884,
figure was $150,O00, 000-the lowest
since April, 1888.
Opposes Thirty Hour Week
The Chamber of Commerce Com
mittee today declared opposition to
any 30-hour week proposal, or any
general restriction on hours. and
insisted, that both hour and wage
standards must be suited to the re-
quirements of each enterprise" 1t
opposed particularly any reductions
in working time with upward adj
justments," but, pleading for "hex-
ibility," said pointedly. Moderate
reductions in hours, with proper
tionate reductions in the weekly
earnings of employees, may consti-
tute effective expdients for minim-
izing unemployment when volume
of business is declining"

ployers. Any plans for Federal unemployment in
surance will be brutally fought by Roosevelt, his
speech made clear.
As for social insurance for the disabled, for the
sick, for homeless for maternity insurance, ETC.,
these needs of the masses will have to wait Roose-
welt made plain.
AS for the move toward a shorter work week
without any reductions in wages, Roosevelt and the
Manufacturers have already cemented their plans
to crush any attempts Of American labor to fight
for the 3O-hour week, for increased wages, and
against the speed-up
The bonus which represents the immediate need
of the veterans, will meet the Incorporating hos
tility of the Roosevelt government, which has the
pledged support of the banks and employers to fight
against it.
Above all the workers in the trade unions face
a drive of reaction The company union which
has been iOurishing under the n. r. A. now be-
comes of the major detectives in the plans
of the capitalists. The WiertOn Decision showed
how hollow the pretenses of the Roosevelt gov
eminent in defence of the workers promised rights
to organize under Section A. In the steel industry
the company union has the blessing of Roosevelt
In the auto industry, the company union and open
shop have the same blessing.

munication which called for the
election of delegates to attend the
Second National Convention of the
American Federation of Silk work
ers, which is to take place on Nov.
"a and 25 in New York City Keller
stated that the Executive Board
recommends to the membership
that he himself be elected as a del
egate to the convention since he
is the general manager
Sam Sheber, chairman of the
meeting and a rank and file worker,
took the recommendation to vote
and it was rejected by the mem
bership Friedman, member of tbs
National Executive Committee of
the American Federation Of Silk
Workers, also appealed for the right
to be elected as a delegate to the
convention on the grounds that he
is national officer.
Nominations followed, with about
thirty workers being nominated.
Only those members in good stand
ing for year were eligible for vot-
ing The following delegates were
elected: Sam Sheber, S. Phillian,
Sarah Perlinsky, Edward Sochon,
John Troy George Anthony, Joe
Brooks, Bob Appel, Alex Phillian
and Sam Donyan. Four of the del
egates elected received unanimous
vote. Keller and his clique were
defeated by large margin.
A few days before the meeting
took place, Keller and his group
issued a bulletin signed by the
Progressive Group" in which they
brought forward program, which
was very vague, and on the basis
of which they called upon the
workers to elect their slate. The
slate consisted of Eli Keller, man
ager of the union; Meyer Lax
chairman of the Executive Board
and Keller's right-hand man; Harry
Flum, George Anthony, and six
other members of the Keller clique
George Anthony, paid organizer
of the Board Silk Department
made statement before the nomi-
nations to the effect that his name
was placed on the Keller slate
without his authorization and pro-
tested against it.
The ranks of the striking dyerS
remained solid and not a single

Forgotten Men of Dero Fisher Lodge Refuse Stay Forgoe
Militant Spirit Persists Despite Forced Labor and Unbearabe Food

What are the actual conditions at
Fisher Lodge?
In the interview he gave me as
representative of the Daily Worker,
John F. Ballenger, Wayne County
Welfare Administrator, declared
that the food was proper and ade-
quate" and that the men were sat
isfied. I told him of contrary re-
ports I had received from Fisher
Lodge inmates themselves. Perhaps
he thought these reports were from
Communist agitators," He knows
better now. Mr.. Ballenger offered
to let me visit the place at any
time and try a meal myself. I did.
tried the best" meal of the day,
supper. To be more accurate, ]
tried only part of it, because when
L sat down at the table with the
food actually before me : got cold
feet.
You go into huge hall, where a
smell that seems to be a mixture
of food, human bodies and fumi-
eating chemicals greets you. You
stand in line with a tray and pass
down a wooden counter, where
the food is dished out to
you from great watts. You eat
at long wooden tables not
far from the rows of beds. The
menu that night consisted of Chop
suey pieces of roast beef mixed
with dough-mashed potatoes, par
ships, three slices of white bread,
blob of oleomargarine and coffee
The men told me it was typical
meal. I gave everything but my
coffee to a Negro worker sitting
next to me, who gobbled it up
eagerly. I started on the coffee,
but got no further than a few sips.
1 don't claim to be an expert in
such matters, and It is possible the
coffee was proper and adequate, y
but certainly it was the vilest-
tasting coffee I have ever drunk.
For two hours afterward that taste
fingered with me. And this coffee,
the men assured me, was an i'm
provement. Up until few days
before they had to drink it with
out milk or sugar.
For breakfast. that day the men
told me they had had a bowl of
oats, three slices of bread and a
cup of this alleged coffee. Every
