Listening to Odlin and

speeches in the newspapers.

Where Odlin, a banker him

by giving business a chance to

Where Odlin avoids the ques-
tion of the right of labor to Or
ganize, Schwellenbach in his
speeches before the primaries,
attacked John c. Stevenson for
calling the police and fire de
partments to throw the unem-
ployed out of the County-City
Building.
It Is clear that Odlin has no.
thing to offer the working class.
Has Schwellenbach?
We must ask Mr.. Schwellen'
bach what kind of government
regulation OF business he is
talking about? What kind of
unemployment insurance. How
does he intend to fight for the
right of'labor to organize?
Sch.welienbach has already
given the answer many times
when he says, II WILL WORK
IN LINE WITH THE POLL
CIEs OF MR.. ROOSEVELT"
Then we know exactly what
to expect from Schwellenbach
and from Marion Zioncheck,
Democratic candidate tor Con-
gress, II they are elected.
They will fight for govern
ment regulation of business" by
supporting Roosevelt's policy
of building monopolies, pour
ing billions of dollars into the
pockets OF the industrialists
and increasing the control over
the government by the big
trusts. Odlin. the banker, would
do exactly the same.
Schwellenbach and Zioncheck
would fight for unemployment
insurance by supporting Roose-
velt's fake insurance schemes
unemployment insurance at
the expense OF the workers with
no provision for the sixteen
millions now unemployed.
They would continue using
the words unemployment in
surance" as Roosevelt has used
them: as an election bait to be
forgotten Immediately after
election. Odlin would do the
same.
Schwellenbach and Zioncheck
would fight for the right OF
labor to organize by support
ing Roosevelt's policy of build
ing company unions and setting
up arbitration boards to stop
the struggle of labor unions for
recognition.
They would support Roose-
velt's policy Of breaking strikes

Odlin, the banker, would sup
