| your brother man
BY Mr.. MOdestus
DR.. A. H. Giannini is a Los Angeles
banker.
He is concerned about the possible
changes in our economic system
Especially those changes in funda-
mentals:
(Which make possible our activities
and our services
"Such as they may be-"
He objects to passing from the
economy of want"
To the economy of plenty"
He fears the abolition of private
thrift;
Suggesting that it may lead to
revolution
"Such as that which shook Moscow
in 1917"
Says-and seems to believe
That the country's refuge from
socialism and communism,
"Lies largely in the fiscal manage
ment provided by its bankers"
Well!
| In that case,
We are headed for the revolution,
| For what management the bankers
furnished
Wrecked nearly everything in the
country
| Including the banking system.
The gentleman would not conscious
ly set himself up to be laughed at.
| So, he must believe what he says.
He will be laughed at-a-plenty.
It is good show--a sort of
dramatic Scream
For a big banker today to try to
sell personal thrift"
"The private thrift of the saving
Individual
AS a personal and social "neces-
sity,"
"a means Of social as we'll as in
dividual protection
| And the surest way for the nation
and the individual,
"To security,
"And legitimate profit"
He complains of the new school of
economists.
He says that they would put much
| of the population
On government payrolls-
Then tax the "income of wealth.
TO meet the wage charges"
Well, Mr.. Giannini,
| Your bankers had control of the
payrolls for quite a while.
What did you do "to meet the wage
charges?
You did not meet them.
Are you also anxious that there
should be poverty
Just to preserve the occasion for
the exercise
Of Christian charity?
Mr.. Giannini has the right hunch on
one point:
Whatever might happen to private
initiative" he says,
"Under such system, banking, as
we know it
"Could no longer exist"
Banking, as you knew it, sir,
If the American public have their
way about it,
Will not again exist.
AS for "thrift"-and it's necessity:
Modern production need not depend
any longer
Upon your gold-based currency, and
your bank-controlled credit.
Neither worker nor merchant had
security" under your management.
We hope to make your activities
and services, such as they may be-
Impossible!

Hearing of Demands for
Supervised Election
Held in Pittsburgh
BY TOM KEENAN,

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 16.-Na-
tional Steel Labor Relations Board
hearings began in Pittsburgh again
yesterday on the issue of requests
for Board-supervised elections in
the Allenport and Monessen plants
of the Pittsburgh Steel Company
filed by AA. members in both mills.
Judge Walter Stacy and his col
leagues of the Board did not attend,
sending Commissioner White here
to take testimony and conduct the
hearing.
In answer to petitions filed by the
Allenport and Monessen lodges
charging the Pittsburgh Steel Co.
with violating Section Ia of the
N.R.A." and demanding a fair
election to determine collective bar
gaining representatives, Attorney j.
J. Heard. for Pittsburgh Steel Co.
raised two objections to the hearing.
First, he questioned whether the
Board has authority to handle the
petitions and stressed that the
Pittsburgh S e Ell Company is not
recognizing as constitutional the
authority of the Board as set down
in the Presidents executive order
and the joint resolution Of Con-
gress. Second, he denied the right
of Commissioner WHITE to conduct
such hearing in the absence of
the Board.
Company Urions Hated
The petitions claim that the En-
ployee Representation Plan (com-
pany union) now in operation in
both plants is creating bitterness"
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-11-17

file members point out that at the
present the bosses have a weapon
against the workers, the threat of
moving to other centers where the
wage rate is lower, and that silk
workers have right to the same
wage whether they live in New
Jersey, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania
or any other center.
The decision of the last U. T. w.
convention aVoring industrial
unionism should open the way to
bringing about unity of the Silk
Workers Federation and the. Silk
and Rayon Dyers who are closely
linked together by common prob
lens, either by merging or Joint
action" BY this means it would
be possible by united effort to or
ganize the unorganized, to arrange
for the expiration of the contracts
at the same time and for the en-
forcement Of union conditions,
which would result in benefits to
workers in both declarations.
For Rank and File Control
Rank and file members urge that
the delegates go on record at the
convention condemning the entire
National Strike Committee for its
treachery to the strike and espe-
cially the representatives of the Silk
Federation who served on the COM
mittee. At the coming convention
to which, except for officials, all
the delegates will come directly from
the mills, steps should be taken by
the delegates to make amendments
to the constitution and provisions
assuring rank and file control. At
present far too much power rests in
The hands of officials and execu-
Live boards.
In Paterson, for example, dsei-
sion after decision has been nulli-
fled by these officials. Further
more, bearing in mind the lesson of
the general strike the silk workers
must not permit strike settlements
to be made without first placing
them before the workers for APP
proval. Conduct of the strike must be
in the hands of a large strike COM
mittee elected by the workers to
assure the best possible mobiliza-
ton for the strike and success in
winning demands.
The convention of the silk work
ers should welcome into its ranks
those workers who have merged
with it from the National Textile
Workers Union and other unions by
granting full rights to participate
in the responsibilities of union work
and to hold office. Clique control
in Paterson has resulted in expelling
many of these militant workers and
depriving them of their rights.

With by far the highest quota in

Steuben and the Section Commit

ously to the drive. they will sue

such good prospects for raising

seeing that the decision of the
Central Committee is fully car
ried out. Comrade Steuben's idea
Is one that they can well adopt.
Personal visits by members of the
Section Committee to ALL the
units and mass organizations in
their territory should be immedi-
ately made.
The I. w. o. and language or
CARNATIONS, too, must take emer-
gency measures. The I. w. o. has
raised only 500 of its $500 quota
and IA language organizations
should certainly be able to do bet
ter than 5000, which is all they
have raised up to now.
The Daily Worker calls upon
the Cleveland district to work to
the limit to go over its quota by
Dec. 1! The district which fails
to do its share in supporting the
Daily Worker is but adding to the
joys of the capitalist class!
