Wagner-LeWiS Bill
AimStOKiIIWOrkerS
JObleSS Insurance
Wants to Split Fight
Into 48 Separate
Struggles

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. s.
While delegates at the National Con-
vention Against Unemployment are
formulating their plans for united
struggle for the enactment Of the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill, the Roosevelt administration is
planning to strangle the workers de-
mands by dividing the fight into 48
separate struggles.
The Wagner-Lewis State Unem-
ployment Insurance Bill, introduced
into Congress yesterday, aims to set
up state insurance funds to be fin
anced principally by the workers,
provides no insurance for the 17000,-
600 unemployed today, and limits the
insurance to systematic weekly ben
,efits of at least ST, or else 20 hours
earnings for at least ten weeks"
In joint statement issued yes
terday by Senator Wagner of New
York, and Representative Lewis of
Maryland, co-authors Of the bill, it
was said, This means that each Of
the 48 states may become an ex-
perimental laboratory for the testing
of the wisdom of particular pro-
posals for the relief Of the unem-
ployed."
The Workers Unemployment In
surance Bill specifically states that
funds will be raised by the govern
ment from funds now set aside for
war preparations, and by taxation
upon incomes over $4,000 a year. THE
Wagner-Lswis Bill proposes a federal
tax on payrolls.
Workers control of insurance funds,
one of the principal stipulations of the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill, is totally emasculated by the
Wagner-Lewis Bill Instead, this bill
provides for state administration or
supervision with joint advisory COM
mittees assisting"
No provision is made for the part
time workers thrown out of employ
ment through old age or sickness,
and nothing for the millions of work
ers now unemployed. By it's limita-
lions, no workers would be given I'M
employment insurance for period
Of more than ten weeks.

Humor and Fighting
Spirit Stands Out
At Every Turn
BY MARGUERITE YOUNG
DAILY Worker Washington Bureau)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Just cast
a glance over the nine hundred del
egates to the First National Conyen-
ton Against Unemployment in the
United States; Negro and white.
A diamond cutter, teachers, pack
ing house butchers, laundresses,
farmers, housewives, as well as steel
puddlers, longshoremen, miners, silk

young metropolitan students and
rangy Texas oil drillers, aesthetic
looking architects with canes) and
solid looking little-home owners.
Here are the backbone of the Amer
lean working class.
Two things stand out at every
turn in the great rectangular Audi
forum; humor and fighting spirit.
Nearly every speaker has a taunt
and a joffe to fling at all who deny
their needs, as well as a fist to
raise. And the bursts Of laughter
that punctuate solemn note-taking
weld this mass together. There's a
lift in this atmosphere.
Emil Nygard, the blond boyish-
faced, blue -sweatered former Com
munist Mayor of Crosby, MINI,
stands on the platform telling a
story:
"Out in Minnesota there was a
poor farmer who had an old Ford.
He was rafting along, one day, but
the Ford gave out of water. He
saw pump besides the road and
got out and worked for an hour to
draw one pail Of water. Just then
somebody came out on the hilltop
and hollered down, Hey, that's pri-
vate property: what're you doing?",
the farmer answered, Just drawing
water-and it took me an hour to
get pail FULL The fellow on the
hill called out, sure; I had a plumber
fix that pump for me so that every
time anybody draws a pail down
there, it pumps me a thankful, up
here. This is private property; and
he laughed Well, fellows, that's
what we're up against; every time
we draw pail for ourselves, the
fellow that GOWNS the pump gets a
thankful"

tanned stage of the big Masonic
Hall is almost filled by the presid-

taneous than, a Baptist yong peoples
union meeting. The cops stand on
one foot, disguised looking.
Women Organize
Though the women meet separate
ly, the theme Of their discussion Is
unity with men in the Unemployed
Councils. A pretty former waitress,
Barbara Davis, Of Cleveland, now the
mother Of five children, the wife of a
college man who's been an unem-
ployed railroad worker for several
years, is describing pitched battle
between herself and three other
women against seven cops.
We've had to keep our children
home from school because they had
no clothes" she says. MY little
girl failed because she was absent
so much; I'll tell you these are the
things that make women fight. And
we do fight in Cleveland.
IT had a radio and q washing ma
chine. The radio was paid for and
the washer almost paid up. We had
women's branch OF the Unem-
ployed Council in our neighborhood

A bailiff came to get my radio and

HE put his foot inside the door
when my little girl opened it. All
Of us women rushed to the door and
closed it, 1t had a glass top. The
bailiff shook his fist and pushed it
right through the glass and shouted,

Soon six cops did arrive, and all
seven piled into our narrow hall. The
other women stood around, and the
cops said, Go on home, you; get

paying rent here? and then the fight
began. Yes, we had free-for-all
Finally somebody hit me in the stom-
ach-and when came to, they had

New CWA Plan Seeks
To Maintain Slave
Status of Negroes
To Farm Out AS Maids
200 Negro Women, Cut
Off Relief, Better Jobs

NEW YORK.-Unemployed Negro
women workers, denied relief on their
own right, are to be farmed out 10
unemployed white families, accord
ing to the latest plan Of the C.wA.
The local @. W. A. service an
nounced yesterday it had received
special permission from the federal
government for the employment on
200 Negro housemsids "as visiting
housekeeperS to be sent into the
homes Of men whose wives are Ill
and unable to care for their chill
dren." Only Negro women are TO be
used for this work by the G. W. A,
which at the same time discrirninates
against Negroes in the higher cate
gorieS Of Jobs. The women Will be
given "a hours week work, at 50
cents an hour, or $12 a week, With
no additional provision for those with
dependents.
In view of the C. W. A. refusal to
place Negroes in the higher cate
gories Of jobs, It is obvious that this
move is aimed at maintaining the
status Of the Negroes as a class Of
helots ON the lowest rung OF CAPT
talist society. The plan was drawn up
with the aid of the New York and
Brooklyn Urban Leagues, which are
to have control Of the selection Of
those who are to be employed.
In announcing its plan, the local
c. W. A. service admits that there
are many homes crippled by illness.
Many such families, where the
fathers are out all day looking for
work, have six or seven neglected, I'M
dernourished and perhaps i'll chill
dren." No provision is made for milk
and other nutritious food for these
children, or for employment Of their
admittedly unemployed fathers
