Also Brings in Disguised
Stagger Plan to Hit
All Workers
Ry MARGUERITE YOUNG

Ry MARGUERITE YOUNG
Daily Worker Washington Bureau
This Is the last of a series Of
articles on the recent N. r. A.
hearings before General Johnson
in Washington.
Whenever General Hugh s. john
sons new plan to increase wages
10 per cent and decrease hours 10
per cent" is applied, it will deliver
another direct wage cut to every
single worker affected Think of it
Less money in each weekly pay
envelope-in addition to ever more
rapidly rising prices.
The proposal you know as the
ten and ten" plan, will not be
executed throughout industry be-
cause it would require employers to
put out more in total payrolls to
secure the same amount of work.
But it is likely to be widely adopted
as a disguise for staggering hours
in slack seasons, as a screen, in
short, for another share-the-n mis-
cry program.
This program was the supreme
demagogy produced by the Congress
of Industry, in which some four
thousand slave driving industrialists
met last week. 1t was the Con-
gress of Industry's only pretense Of
a concession to head off the strikes
now increasing among the millions
burdened by the NR.A. The Con-
gresS of Industry did, however, &C
complish much for the industrial
lists. It agreed upon deliberate
drive toward further fascination
through Capitalization Of economic
power in the hands Of g. few first
rung capitalists and through the
stimulation Of company -unionism
both in and outside Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. And it
saw the gearing of the N. r. A.
machine closer to the War Depart
ment division charged specifically
with preparing for imperialist war.
1t showed, as no other official
proceeding in Washington has
shown since the New Deal began,
that the only answer to the New
Deal threats of war and fasciSm
is mass organization and mass &C
lions. 1t showed once more that
the only fundamental opposition to
the industrialists' drive to squeeze
profits out of successive attacks
upon their employees standards is
that of the Communist Party and
the militant trade unions, together
with the rank and file oppositions
within the A. F. Of L.
Johnson's so-called re-employ-
ment proposal, if executed uni
fornly in industry, would have just
two results. 1t would increase the
production and profits of the cap
ital goods industries, at the expense
Of labor, and it would sharpen the
basic capitalist contradiction so as
to reduce the domestic market and
heighten the imperialists lookout
for an imperialist war for markets.
How 1t Cuts Wages
Simple arithmetic shows what it
would mean to the individual
worker. 1t he works 20 hours a
week at 20 cents an hour now,
earning 81 a week, he would, under
Johnson's suggestion work ID
hours a week at % cents an hour,
earning 1896 a week. pointed
this out to one of the high officials
Of the N. r.. A. He agreed. He
said, You're right. If the ten
and ten plan is adopted, it will
mean a differential against the in
dividual worker as far as his weekly
earnings are concerned. OF course,
what we're worried about is not

DRY LEAGUE SPLIT

With Educational and Po-
IiticaI Moves Asked.

An inSurrection against the old lead

out today as the leagues board of di-
rectorS held its preconVention session
in the Dodge Hotel
Another fight centered around the
question of education versus legislation.
with an insurgent group fighting for a
return of the league to politics and
nothing but politics.
The leagues convention will open
Sunday at Calvary Baptist Church and
continue through Wednesday, Mean
while. the internal politics of the Or
ganization was being fought over today
behind closed doors of the directors
session.
One group led by R. P. Hutton, State
superintendent of Nebraska, was seek
ing new deal in the leagues person.
mel. Hutton proposed that the eXecu-
tive committee, which is composed of
non-paid members. make survey of
national officials and paid State Off
GERS to find out why thry had not been
successful in standing off the assault
OF the repeal forces.
Would Ask designations.
Hutton would force all league en-
ployes in the field to submit their res
ignations and agree to stay or go as
the Executive Committee might deem
best. Each employe also would be
forced under the plan to submit with
out question to any change in position
which might be -decreed.
The league has been wrecked Hut
ton declared, by the rivalry Of factions,
divided command, divergent objectives
characterization and dual headquar-
ters. We must have a single head, and
if there is to be change, it must be
an absolutely new deal. There can be
no gain by changing from one factional
leader to another factiOnal leader"

tingent of the league sought removal
of DR.. F. Scott Mcbride as general
