Hall, Fifteenth Street and Irving
Place.
The T. U. U. c. is composed of
numerous trade unions affiliated
with it, with an aggregate member
ship Of between forty and fifty
thousand workers, according to An
drew Overgaard, general secretary
of the council.
T. U. U. L. Appeal
This conference" the appeal
states, which is called by the
American League Against War and
Fascism, takes place at time when
the world is fast moving toward i'm
perialist war, and fascisn is raising
its ugly head in the United States.
"In Toledo, San Francisco, and
Minneapolis, workers we're shot
down and dubbed in cold blood for
organizing and striking for better
working conditions. Right under
our noses in New York, shipments
Of ammunition go out daily. The
fascist terror. which is part Of the
war preparations is particularly di-
rected against the trade unions, es-
pecially the unions under militant
leadership.
Bring Issue to Shops
THE American League Against
War and Fascism calls upon the
entire working class, regardless Of
political afiliation, regardless Of
trade union affiliation, to unite in
powerful movement against war
and fascism.
The Trade Union Unity Council,
wishes particularly to call on our
own affiliated unions, at this time,
to popularize this conference, bring
it into the shops, Immediately elect
delegates and set up committees in
the shops that will become active
in the building up of the League,
and carry through the program
adopted at the great Second U. S.
Congress Against War and Fascism
held in Chicago this year"
"At the same time, Overgaard
stated, we wish to appeal to the
Independent Unions not repre-
sented at the Chicago Congress, to
elect delegates to this conference in
New York. However, in all serious
ness, we wish to point out to our
affiliated unions the need for real
preparatory work and the need for
the leadership Of each union to take
responsibility for participation in
the League for immediate aff1lia-
ton, as well as the payment Of the
af1listion fee
THE American League Against
War and Fascism,' the appeal con-
cluded, can become a powerful in
strument in the fight against war
makers and against the fascist ter
ror, particularly in the trade move
men5 in New York, if we lake seri-
ously the building of this organiza-
ton, which already has a tremen-
dous influence in the United States.
The T. U. U. G. therefore appeals
to it's affiliated organizations, that
in all meetings during the coming
weeks, the question Of The New
York Conference called by the
League is taken in all seriousness,
and that delegates are elected who
will take responsible part in car
rying through the program pledged
at the Second Congress.
The American League has
mailed out thousands Of calls and
we urge that immediate response be
given to this urgent matter"

Acts to Aid
Big Railroads

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Actiye
assistance by the Roosevelt govern
ment in new drive to reduce
wages and operating expenses on
the railroads was foreshadowed by a
statement made by R. F. G. Chair
man Jesse H. Jones.
Five large railroads are in de-
fault in interest and principal pay
ments on loans totalling $55, 900, 900
made by the Roosevelt government
to the roads, Jones revealed.
The Roosevelt government pro-
poses to conduct a survey to deter
mine how to aid these roads to re-
sumo dividend payments and loan
returns, Jones declared.
One road, the Missouri Pacific,
owes the government $4,000, 900,
loaned it by the r. F. G. Most of
these funds went directly to the
Morgan banks as loan repayments.
The Government is now left hold
ing the bag, with the ultimate bur-
den to be borne by the masses in
taxes.

Accountant Gives
SIS to Daily Fund
To Ease Conscience
New York, N. Y,

New York, N. Y.
Daily Worker.
Dear Comrades:
The main function of account
ants under the capitalist system
is to show to the exploiting class
how to squeeze out more profits
from the working class. After
the profits have been squeezed
out, the accountant has to be the
watch dog" of the money bag.
For this service he gets a "fee"
which Is a very small fraction Of
what has been stolen from labor.
Only in the Soviet Union does
an accountant perform an hon
orable and socially useful service.
BY his skill and professional
knowledge he helps not the few
at the expense of the many, but
he serves the entire population.
BY showing how to reduce costs,
eliminate waste, the workers,
farmers and entire population
get the benefit in the form Of
shorter hours, higher standard of
living, social security and Gull
tural benefits.
1t is from this point of view
that I, as an accountant, feel So
cially inferior to the workers
who create values under the cap
italist regime, do socially useful
service, as doctors, engineers, ar
chitects, etc.
To appease my guilty con-
science, I give back some of that
surplus profit to the working
class in the form of Party dues,
contributions, etc.
Today I have made a few ex-
ira dollars, and here is a five
dollar bill towards the Daily
Worker drive.
I feel better now.
Yours for Soviet America,
L. S. r.

Jobs and Paw
DropSharply
In NY. State

ALBANY, Nov. 12.-Sharp drops
in employment in almost every in
dustry in the State during the one
month period from September
to mid-October, are reported in
the statement issued today by the
State Department of Labor.
While the computations of the
State Department of Labor show a
net gain Of 0.8 per cent, the in
clusion of the army of textile
workers returning to work during
the period reported upon, are really
accountable for that apparent gain.
Thus while the comparison is with
the whole month of September
that months average included the
strike in textile.
The analysis, computed monthly
is based on the returns from 1871
representative factories reporting
The reporting factories employed
100000 persons in October, and are
indicative of the trends in wages
and employment throughout the
State.
Metal trades showed a net lob
loss of IA per cent during the
period recorded as compared with
the entire month of September.
Large decreases occurred in auto
mobile and shipbuilding and repair
concerns. In the mems clothing
trades a Z per cent drop in the
number Of jobs was noted.
That the return of the textile
strikers markedly effected the COM
putations of the returns is noted
by drops in all upstate industrial
centers reporting, except Utica, the
only large textile center in the
State.

Are workers too poor to con-
tribute to the Daily Worker? The
excuse is often made that this is
so. But letters TO the Daily Worker
show otherwise. Unemployed work
ers have sent their last pennies,
smail-salaried workers and work.
ers on relief have given a days
wages TO save the life of the
greatest weapon of unemployed
and employed workers alike. Don't
underestimate working class SEN
