Let them hire the old employees
and new ones, if necessary. to
start the movement. 1t stands 10
reason that millions of people are
in need of many things which
they are denying themselves of
for lack of money. When the
people see that the merchants are
beginning to hire people again it
will restore confidence.
This, in turn. will cause millions
to loosen up their purse strings.
AS a sequence, it looks plau-
sible to me that in a short period
of time the money appropriated
by these merchants will be Ye-
turned in profit and prosperity
gradually restored. While there
are a number of things 20 be done
to accomplish a normal condition,
this is primarily the most salient

dianapOllS resident.
This was revealed today by
Joseph B. (Joe-the-Tailor) Adler,
242 Indiana avenue, who stated
that he cared nothing for the dis
tinction Of having initiated per-
sonally the national recovery
movement, but felt only that it
was high time the public knew the
facts.
Mr.. Adler, seated in the edi-
torial offices of The Times, whence
he had journeyed reluctantly to
clear the matter up once and for
all, said modeStly:
Yes, I gave Mr.. Roosevelt his
first conception of NRA and 1
have the letters to prove it. have
kept very quiet about it up to, the
present, but I noticed in a Chicago
paper that a Mr.. Gerald Swope
was the originator of the idea,
and, as I have the goods to
deliver, I thought it time to let
the truth be known"
y t.
MIR. ADLER then produced a
1V1 copy of a letter addressed to
Mr.. Roosevelt before his inaugu-
ration. Following are excerpts
from the message, which, as the
author points out, was the spear
head in the recovery drive:
Since perusing an article in
the paper here that you are open
to suggestions relative to a method
of starting the machinery in mo-
ton to bring back prosperity, 1
am taking the liberty of express
ing my views about same. 1t is
obvious to my mind that the
most essential feature to start the
ball rolling is to get the people
back to work. If the figures stated
in the papers are correct, there
are at least 100000 of people
out of work.
Until about three-fourths of
this number are employed, we
can not consider the situation
practically normal. While there
are many things and features TO
be considered before matters are
properly adjusted lore is one
that I think will give a great
impetus to such a movement and
will be of immense benefit in
psychological manner, also.

MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich,
July 27-Welfare relief and the in
vasion of new fields of taxation by
the federal government occupied
the attention Of the conference of
Governors today as the state exec
utives prepared to complete the
business of their twenty-sixth an
nual session.
In the discussion of these two
subjects the Governors will digress
from yesterdays procedure when
representatives of the national ad-
ministration headed the speakers
list. Today, with the exception of
Aubrey Williams, assistant federal
relief administrator, the addresses
will be from the ranks Of state eX-
ecutives.
Governor Paul V. McNutt of In
diana opened today's session with a
discussion of the recovery program
of President Roosevelt. He was to
be followed by Governor I. G. Black
wood of South Carolina, John c..
Winant of New Hampshire and
William A. Comstock Of Michigan.
The executive business session and
election of officers will take place
this afternoon.
Yesterdays attack upon state
monopolies in the handling of re-
tail liquor sales by Joseph Choate,
chairman of the federal alcohol adj
ministration, brought Frank A. Pic
ard. chairman of the Michigan state
LIQUOR control commission into a
sharp reply.
Defends State Sales
Mr.. Choate had stated that when
states attempt to enter into the
liquor business the result is higher
prices to the consumer and a return
to the bootlegger. He also charged
that no state system can be oper-
ated without creation of an unde-
sirable political machine and the
corruption of state employees by the
liquor interests.
my best reply to Mr.. Choate,"
Mr.. Picard said, sis the record OF
LIQUOR administration in the state OF
Michigan. Police officers of the city
of Detroit and other communities;
the state police, and the federal
officials report that there is little
bootlegging in this state"
Mr.. Picard warned the Cover
nors that at the coming session OF
their legislatures the liquor inter
ests will make a drive to prevent the
establishment of state control sys-
TENS and to abolish the present
ones.
1.-THE liquor interests have not
learned a, lesson from the fifteen
years of prohibition and are going
to try to regain their old position,
he said.
Urges Sentencing Courts
Governors Henry Horner of Hill
nois and BlackWood of South Caro-
line urged that the federal govern
ment reduce its tax levy upon
liquors to permit cheaper prices to
the consumer as a means of combat
ing bootleggers.
Need for state sentencing courts
to equalize the terms of criminals
convicted for the same crimes was
voiced by Governor McNutt. Re

What Is Industrial
UniOniSn?

THE pressure of the masses of the work
L ers for an aggressive fight for union
conditions has forced the leaders of the
American Federation of Labor to pay lip
service to organization of the unorganized
and to the question of industrial unionism.
But the Green-Lewis bureaucracy in the A. F.
of L. in the resolution passed in the San Francisco
Convention, attempt to pacify the demands OF the
rank and file with empty gesture. The reso-
luton adopted by the convention, in fact eulogized
the craft form of organization 1t declared the in
tention to fully protect the jurisdlconal rights Of
all trade unions organized along craft lines"
The resolution, upon which Green, Lewis and
the whole A. F. of L. bureaucracy agreed declared
further
Experience has shown that craft organization
is most effective in the protection of the welfare
and advancement Of interests of the workers
where the nature of the industry is such that the
lines Of dernarcation between the crafts are dis
tinguishabe."
Right at the start therefore, the industrial
un-onisTn" resolution, which was hailed by Green
as step forward. embraces craft unionism and not
even the empty form Of industrial unionism. The
resolution calls for the Executive Council to issue
charters for national and international unions
only in the "automotive cement and aluminium"
industries, and other mass production industries"
to which the Executive Council might give its
consent.
But even in these three industries, the vertical"
form Of the unions is not real industrial Unionis,
but all empty husk. The resolution of Green
Lewis makes sure that the Executive Council Of the
A. F. of L. is to be given complete domination of
the new vertical unions. 1t declares, "In order
to protect and safeguard the members Of such
unions chartered the Federation, for a provisional
period, shall direct the policies, administer and des
gnate the administrative and financial officers Of
the newly organized unions"
THE last paragraph exposes the real intent Of the
Green-Lewis bureaucracv. All re-F'~~
i'll favor of this resolution, including Lewis Howard
etc, admitted that 1t 6igsccei cli3.ly ag III t
the Communists and against independent unions
The resolution strengthens the Graf union ----.,
aims to strsngle any struggle or fighting policy on
the part of the newly organized workers, and fur
theirs the red against militant workers. 1t
strengthens the no-struggle policy of Green Lewis
and Company, and is aimed against rank and file
fighters
Real industrial unionism includes more than
mere structure.
The real Industrial union wipes out craft lines
in order to cement the solidarity of all the workers
in the industry, that the fight for the workers
demands can be made stronger.
The rank and file oppositions inside the A. F.
of L. demand real industrial unionisrn-the indus
trial form of organization, coupled with and in
separable from program of fight for the workers
demands, and of rank and file control Of the union

For Solidarity Action

CURIOUS battles are still going on in
L Spain against Fascism, despite the re-
peated announcements of the Spanish gov
ernments complete victory"
For six days now the Spanish workers,
in united front action of Socialists. Communists
and Syndicalists, have put up a heroic, inspiring
battle
We must come to their immediate aid. In fur
therance Of this task the Communist Parts, U.SA,
addressed letter to the Socialist Party executive,
appealing for immediate steps for united front dem
onstraton under Joint Socialist and Communist
auspices in support of the heroic Spanish workers.
On the same day the Communist International and
Young Communist international addressed the So
cslis workers throughout the world for united front
actions Comrades were appointed to negotiate
directly with the leaders of the Socialist and So
ciaist Youth Internationals.
Having in mind this decisive picture of the bour-
yeoisie striving to shatter embattled working
class, the Communist International calls upon all
its sections in common with other workers
ganzations to organize demonstrations in solidar-
ity with the Spanish working class
q. This worldwide appeal for immediate united
front support to tine Socialists and Communists
shedding their blood against the fascist hends in
Spain should evoke quick response, should lead to
definite steps for united front actions for our Span
ish brothers.
The letter signed by Earl Browder, secretary of
the Communist Party, addressed to the Socialist
Party National Executive Committee, urging the
necessity of immediate action, declared
Can We allow more precious days, and even
months, to slip by, while the whole capitalist world
is drifting ever moro rapidly into fascsm and war
without a serious effort to build united working
class front?"
The same appeal called for such necessary steps
as Joint meetings and demonstrations in support
Of the Spanish workers, shedding their blood on
the barbados against fascism.
1t is our International duty it is the will of every
worker whose heart is with his Spanish brothers,
to speed the formation of the united front of So
calists and Communists against fascism and against
the growing danger of war.
Certainly there should be no obstacles what
ever to joint meetings to rally mass support in
this country for our Spanish comrades, who have
Joined their forces in battle to the death against
fascisrc.
AL hesitation all hndrsnce, delay TO the
united front should stop With the united front
strengthened in France, with the united front in
Spain having reached the stage OF an armed strus-
gle certainly there should be no excuse for delay
in this country to united actions against fascism.
Socialists! Let US join our forces in support of
the Socialist and Communist fighters of Spain!

Rubbish in the A. F. of L.

IN AN unguarded moment, D. J. Tobin,
International president of the Transfers
Union and right hand man of William
Green, told the A F. of L. convention
exactly what the A. F. of L. bureaucrats
think of the workers. We have $4,000 members
without taking in the rubbish that has lately come
into other organizations in the last year. said
Toon. He referred to the thousands of militant
workers who have recently joined the A. F. Of L.
IN take nothing back" Tooin sad when his re-
marx was greeted by roar Of protest.
The corrupt A. ?. of L. bureaucracy takes the
same attitude towards the rank and file is taken
by the employers They want to admit the new
members only so that they behead their strikes
and collect their dues They consider the new
members as a source Of income to pay for the off,
Gals fat salaries and expense accounts.
Why Tobin considers the new A. F. of L. mem
bers as Rubbish can be seen from his activities
in his own union. Tobn ordered the Minneapolis
Transfers not to strike and they struck in spite of
his orders. Tobin, together with Vol, is Green's
leading captain in creating the hysterca red scare
against all militant rank and f1lers
Green, in attempting to overcome the bad i'm
preston created by Tooins speech stated that the
A. F, of L. welcomes all workers. But the members
Of the A. F. of l. all know that Tooin is following
out Green's policies against the rank and file The
A. F. of L. bureaucrats oppose unemployment in
surance protect gangSterism in the unions, follow
no-strike policy of cooperation with the employ
They sell out every strike they get their hands
on in the auto, steel and textile industry They
try to split the workers and suppress militant ac-
ton through their red scare" They keep the rank
and file from controlling their own trade union
movement They pay themselves fat salaries out
of high dues drained from the pockets of the mem
bers.
There is a lot of rubbish in the trade union
movement. But this rubbish is to be found on and
around Green's throne. The rank and file will have
to clean this rubbish out and take over the con-
troll of the unions themselves The road to this
housekeeping is the building of rank and file oppo
stions in each local union.

Yureniev Spikes Lies
About Railroad
Wrecking Acts
tspeciaf to the Daily WORKER

MOSCOW, Oct. 10 (By Wireless.
The exchange of notes between
Soviet Ambassador to Japan Yure-
niev and the japanese Foreign Min
lister Hirota were published here to-
day. revealing on the one hand a
clear explanation of recent Jap
anese provocstions centering around
alleged Soviet wrecking on the Chi
nese Eastern Railway. and on the
other hand clustering series of
fabricaticns.
In his note to Ambassador Yure-
niev, Hirota repeated practically all
the ant. Soviet fables about the par
ticipatiora Of Soviet employees OF the
GER. in 'conspiracies having the
OBJECT of wrecking Japanese military
trains" and declared that victims
during these attacks IN the ma
jority of cases were japanese or
Manchurians, while at the same
time Soviet citizens seldom suf-
fered."
Yureniev in his reply (Oct. 81
cites the following officially estab-
lished data:
% Trains Wrecked
For the period from, Jan. to
Sept. 5, 1884, there took place %
train wrecks, Of which only one
wrecked 18th CT June-was a mill
tary train. The total number of
military trains which passed during
the above mentioned eight months
along the Eastern Line was sixty.
1t is true that Japanese military
supplies were also sent in mixed
freight trains. A total of 6,949 cars
with japanese military supplies and
troops, including the above mention
ed military trains, were carried on
the GER. during the. period from
Jan. l to Sept. l, 1884, according to
the orders Of the Japanese military
command received by the managing
board of the GER. According to
the written statement of the jap
aneSe military command dated the
9Th Of August and addressed to the
manager Of the GER, Rudy, only
twenty-six cars were injured and
destroyed out of this number. If we
take into consideration these data,
then it becomes clear that the first
and basic statement contained in
Hirota's note, dated Sept. 4, con-
corning the frequent wrecking Of
japanese military trains, doeSn' t
tally with the actual fact.
The same is also true in connec-
ton with his second statement that
when trains were wrecked on the
Eastern Line allegedly mostly jap
anese and Manchurians suffered and
only very rarely Soviet citizens.
Only Two japanese Wounded
According to these same official
data, during those twenty-five train
wrecks which took place upon the
Eastern Line of the GER. during
the last eight months, as we'll as
during bandit attacks on railway
stations Of the Eastern Line, only
two japanese soldiers we're wounded
