D. c. Morgan, secretary of the

clared in his report to the conven-

difference between the policies of
Deportation Doak' and those of the
liberal Frances Perkins, except
that the present administration is
going further in its persecution Of
the foreign born and is making

meeting is being held tonight in

Under the very quiet but relent-
less questioning of Maurice Sugar,

aristocratic looking Mrs. Kaye made
a number Of significant admissions.
1t was brought out that when Vic
tory was picked up at the gas sta
ton where he worked, and brought
to the Connors st. police station,
Mrs. Kaye Immediately identified
him. But then, to make it official,
cops arranged to have her identify
him again at Central Police head
quarters, this time from a group of
Negroes. The police thus cooperated
with her to put over the so-called
Identification. Mrs Kaye admitted
in testifying, that her only means
of identifying Victory was by his
longish hair
Sugar demanded the reduction OF
the outrageous bail of $4,000, but
Judge Skillman, who has vicious
anti-labor record, refused.
Jones, Negro attorney of the
Charles Young Post, American Le-
gion, of which Victory is a member
also appeared in court and the IL
D. agreed to allow him to partici-
pate in the defense.
The trial date has not yet been

was 1O7. Fifty-one cities showed
in this year an advance in food
prices Of from TO to n per cent.
Rent, fuel, light, house furnishings
and other items showed at the
end Of the year. after the codes
had begun to operate, marked
upward tendency"
Therefore, in the daily pur-
chase Of bread, milk, light, fuel,
shelter, clothing, ETC., every single
worker and poor farmer in this
country during the last year of
Roosevelt rule, has had to pay
more as a direct result of the
N.R.A. development Of monopoly.
For the small producers, the
MA. has meant that the Roose-
welt government, has taken an ac-
tive part in driving them down into
the ranks of the proletariat. This
not only ruins them, but permits
the monopolies to raise prices even
more for the mass of consumers.
THE intense exploitation of the
working class by the employers
had finally reduced their buying
power so far below the actual
amount Of available goods that the
force Of the crisis was intensified.
The problem of the Wall Street
monopolies at the beginning of last
year was to find a way to restore
their huge profits. Roosevelt's
NR.A. was the means by which
they accomplished it. The method
was simple. 1t was based on this
If the masses cannot buy
hack enough of what they have
produced, then we must make the
smaller consumption of goods re-
turn a larger return. Less goods,
but more profit. More misery on
one side. and more profit on the
other That was the method of the
MIRA.
The Darrow report confirms this:
The control Of a market which
Is attained by force of monopoly
maintains profits by diminishing
or restricting production, that is
to say, by decreasing wealth and
lowering standards of living. 1t
also maintains profits by lowering
the costs of production. that is, by
lowering wages and reducing the
living standards of the workers"
