THE Committee on Economic Security set up by
President Roosevelt has exposed itself as nothing
but a talking committee. The New Deal" govern
ment, accepting fully the demands of the bankers
and big industrialists, through the mouth of Roose-
velt has set itself firmly against any kind of genu-
inc unemployment and social insurance.
In his address to the conference held in
Washington on Nov. 10, Roosevelt talked merely
about making beginning in the great task of
providing social insurance" but he made it per-
fectly clear that old age health insurance etc. are
things to be thought about in the distant future
He assured the conference" that unemployment
insurance will be in the program" and this insur-
ance should be "a cooperative Federal-State I'M
dertaking"
That Roosevelt has in mind scheme like the
Wagner-Lewis scheme, which will not help the more
than 100000 unemployed in the country at the
present time, was obvious. Even correspondents of
the capitalist press do not hesitate to state this
Roose7clt made it clear also that insurance would
have to be provided not by taxes hu. By contribu-

Bill, beth the workers and the employers would
contribute, the employers handing on to the con-
sumers their part of the contribution Secretary
Roper even feared that tax on payrolls would en-

What about the unemployed? Roosevelt says:
I'VE must set them (the unemployed back into
productive employment, and as we do we can bring
them under the protection of the insurance
system"
Roosevelt also demanded that means test be
installed in the United States
Despite the disgust openly manifested at the
conference by people who are under the pressure
OF the workers-both Of the employed and unem-
poyed, and particularly of those working class or
carnations, unions, unemployed fraternal Negro,

Many Committees Set
Up for National
Farley Jan ST

The National Arrangements Com
mittee for the National Congress
for Unemployment and Social In
surance, which will be held in
Washington on Jan. ST, yesterday
announced that it is sending an
open letter to all who participated
in the Roosevelt Conference on
Economic Security"
The open letter, Herbert Ben
jamin, executive secretary of the
Workers National Congress, stated,
will point out the bankruptcy of the
Roosevelt conference and urge them
to work for the success of the
Workers National Congress.
At the same time, those who at
tended the Roosevelt Conference
win be invited to attend a sym
postum in New York City, in the
near future, where they will each
be invited to give expression to
their opinions of the Roosevelt
conference.
Following is the text of a tele-
gram sent by Benjamin to the Con-
ference Committee, in the name of
the Arrangements Committee for
the National Conference for Unem-
ployment and Social Insurance:
we urge your conference to
endorse the National Congress for
Unemployment Insurance in
Washington in January. Roose-
velt's speech of Nov. Is makes
clear that the government intends
to- fight against every form of
genuine insurance. 1t is neces-
Sary to mobilize all forces for
strong action for genuine unem-
ployment a d social insurance.
Your broad conference can play
an effective part together with
unemployed groups, unions nd
mass organizations in fighting for
genuine unemployment insurance.
We feel convinced that thorough
discussion will end in your en-
dorsement of our request"
Benjamin, who at tende d the
oosevelt conference and was
greeted with more applause than
any other speaker when he outlined
the workers demands for genuine
unemployment and social insurance,
cited the complete disappointment
Of those delegates who attended,
with the idea that a real program
of social legislation would be worked
out there.
Even the capitalist press" Ben
jamin said, "has been forced to
reflect this bitter disillusion of a
grea number of the delegates. "
Thus, the newspapers of j. David
Stern, Philadelphia publisher and
owner Of the New York Post, man
close to the Roosevelt administra-
ton, and who attended the confer
ence, carry political cartoons point
ing out the blasting of the hopes of
the jobless by these latest maneu-
vers of Roosevelt.

STRIKERS SAY
Plan for In divid u a |
Settlements Rejected
by Workers

PATERSON, N. j., Nov. 16.-After
hearing that Thomas MacMahon,
president of the United Textile
Workers Union had sent kilograms
to dye locals in Pennsylvania and
Rhode Island instructing them not
to join in the present strike, shop
chairmen and delegates meeting of
the striking dyers decided to send
delegation to MacMahon and de-
mand that all dyers be called out.
At a previous meeting it was dis
closed that German took steps to
halt the spread of the strike and
even told the workers to chase dye
pickets out of town.
Rubinstein's Plan Rejected
Jack Rubinstein, renegade Love
stonite, and now an organizer of
the Overs Federation, appeared be-
fore the shop chairmen and dele
gates, and asked for permission to
present before the settlements COM
mittee change Of policy. He stated
that he believed individual shop set
Elements should be made. Stetin,
whom workers kicked off the set
Elements committee last week sup
ported him. Charles Vigorito, vice
president of the union and out
standing strike leader, pointed out
that this would mean a break in
the solidarity of the strike and the
proposal of Rubinstein was rejected.
Shops Settled in New York
From New York report has
reached here that the representa-
tive of the New York local of the
striking dyers, reported at last
nights Central Labor Council meet
ing. that a settlement with a shop
in Long Island City was concluded,
with preferential union shop
agreement. George Baldanzi stated
that the national Office of the union
was not consulted on this settle
ment.
Jane Williams, Daily Worker
builder, was arrested today while
selling the Daily Worker in front
of the strike hall. Workers are
asked to send protests against the
arrest and to pack the court room,
when the case comes up in court.
This is an effort to take away from
the workers their only newspaper,
and comedies with vicious at
titude against the strikers being fol-
lowed by the two scab capitalist
in Paterson.

The issue is now clear The New Deal" govern
ment shows where it stands, The masses of workers
who put Roosevelt into power in 1882 and supported
the New DEAR government on Nov g. in the hope
that Roosevelt still had not forgotten the unem-
plcyed, now know clearly that Roosevelt has no in
tention whatever of proposing any system of genu-
inc unemployment insurance. On the contrary he
stated quite openly that organizations promoting
fantastic schemes have aroused hopes that cannot
possibly be fulfilled" This showed the pressure of
the hundreds of thousands of fighters for the
Workers Bill, which Roosevelt calls fantastic"
Thus Roosevelt in setting up a committee to
study economic security merely wished to have
front for his Observation-Disclosures brought
home to him through the Wall Street bankers
that he admitted in his speech of October
25 in which he completely surrendered to the bank
ers and in which he gave them full assurance that

Sets Condition Which
Is SANDER Against
Soviet Union

The Executive Committee of the
Socialist International has voted ito
accept the proposal for united
front made by the Communist In
ternational, but attached the con-
dition that the Soviet Government
accord full political liberty to Rus
sian socialists" a report from the
Havas news agency by wireless from
Paris states.
This condition" is undoubtedly
an attempt by the leaders of the
Second International to block the
active establishment of the united
front, demanded by masses of So
cialists throughout the world and
already achieved in France.
The only persons in the Soviet
Union who do not enjoy the fullest
political liberty are the known class
enemies of the proletarian dictator
ship, who have taken an active part
in opposition to the building of So
cialism and the workers state.
At the moment when the impe-
rialist countries are driving towards
fascism and war, when the work.
ers of Spain are being shot down
by a fascist dictatorship, when these
imperialist powers have brought the
world working class to the brink of
bloody world conflict, the Second
Internationers leaders attack the
Soviet Union, the only country
where the workers rule.
Masses Demand Unity
The decision of the Second In
ternationaIs Executive Committee
was in response to the proposals of
the Communist International for a
united front against hunger, fascism
and war.
The masses of workers throughout
the world have seen more and more
clearly the burning need for world
unity of the forces of the working
class, in the face of the attempts
Of the iinperianst powers to smash
all working class organizations, to
set up fascist relationships and
plunge the workers into bloody im-
perialist conflict
The Second InternationaPs Exec
utiye Committee, in face of the ire
mendous pressure Of the members
of the Socialist Parties for unity,
did not dare to categorically reject
the united front. They therefore
set up the conditions" aimed
against the Soviet Union, as a
maneuver to block and sabotage the
united front.
The Executive Committee of the
Socialist International in its con
dition" attached to the united front,
SANDERS the Soviet Union, by at
tempting TO place the only country
governed by the workers, in the
same category as the capitalist
countries.
The leaders of the Socialist Inter-
national want the members of the
Socialist Party to forget that in
the Soviet Union the foundations of
Socialism have been laid, that there
is complete democracy and freedom
for the workers, that only the
enemies of Socialism, only the enc
mics of the working class state, only
the agents of the capitalist class,
no matter under what labels, have
no full political liberty"
