Elect 20 Delegates To
Washington; Adopt
Demands

NEW YORK. - The New York
County Conference against Unemploy-
ment held Jan. 6, in Christ Church,
S44 w. Seth ST., with SO organizations
throughout Manhattan and Harlem
represented by $50 delegates, endorsed
and pledged their support of the
Workers Municipal Relief Ordinance
and the Workers Unemployment In
surance Bill.
The delegates came from A. F. of
L. locals, Rank and File groups, In
dependent Unions, shop groups, T.
U. U. L. affiliateS, fraternal orders and
neighborhood Organizations and clubs.
A permanent New York County Un-
employment Council OF Al members
was elected. Twenty-six delegates
were elected to represent the county
at the National Convention against
unemployment, Feb. 3, in Washing
ton. A plan of action and organiSs-
ton was adopted. A committee Of
single unemployed and homeless work
ers was formed to protest and fight
discrimination against these workers
and against the transient camps.
The plan of action adopted included
the demands to be made on Mayor
La Guardia at the city-wide dem
onstration on Feb. 5, at the City Hall.
The program of action points out that
the economy" program of La
Guardia, cuts wages of city employees,
refuses the unemployed adequate cash
relief. and abolisheS the hot lunches
for children in schools.
The conference demanded that La
Guardia give an immediate reply to
the delegation which visited him on
Jan. 2, and which he refused to see.
This delegation was demanding the
passage Of the Workers Relief Or
dinance and endorsement Of the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill. The conference demanded that
La Guardia personally receive the del
egation which will visit him Feb. S,
the day Of the demonstration.
l. Amter, national secretary OF the
Unemployed Council, reported on the
campaign for the national convention
against unemployment on Feb. in
Washington. Additional delegates viii
be sent by the organizations. The
question Of raising funds for sending
he delegates to Washington was
strongly emphasized.

bond maturftieS.
The RIG. will require So, 969 ,0O0,-
600 for purposes not made explicitly
clear by Roosevelt, but which are
admitted to entail tremendous sub
sides to monopoly industry.
The Civil Works program will re-
quire $4000000Oo, while the mill
oaTlzsd C.C.C. camps will need $342,-
100000 according to Roosevelt.
For the carrying through of the
destruction of crops under the A.A.A.
the government will require $515,-
100000, Roosevelt said.
The way in which these funds will
be raised has not yet been made
fully clear, but the appropriation of
So $50, 100000 of gold from the Fed
eral Reserve banks through a close
to SO per cent devaluation of the
dollar, and the pumping Of three
billions worth of bonds into the Fed
eral Reserve banks through the pow
ers granted the Roosevelt government
by the Thomas amendment, are seen
as early possibilities. In addition,
new heavy taxes are in view, as we'll
as further reductions in the wages
of Federal employees. :.
An analysis of the budget reveals
that the huge billion dollar deficit
| that Roosevelt predicted for the COM
ing year, will be due largely to tire
mendouS war preparations, subsidies
to Wall Street monopoly, interest and
loan payments to the monopoly CAPT
talist bondholders.
The so-called ordinary budget pro-
yides for $510,000,000 for the Army
and Navy, while the extraordinary
expenditures provide for over one
billion dollars for the so-called pub
lie works" which include aeroplane
and battleship building.
The ordinary" expenditures pro-
vide for over $740,000000 for the
payment of interest to Wall Street
bopdholders, while the extraordinary
expenditures" provide for nearly four
billion more for subsidies to banks
and monopoly industry.
1t is becoming more openly ad-
mitted that the Roosevelt rate OF
proposed expenditure OF one billion
dollars month will require, in lieu
Of real public works program, huge
subsidies to private industry and
banks, and this seems one Of the
basic purposes of the proposed bud
get.
Meanwhile, the RIG. has an
nounced that it is prepared to pump
another $500,000,OO0 into the laps Of
the stockholders of bankrupt banks
in addition to the billion that has
already been pumped there.
