{ talk TO the rest of the workers. Do
not forget about those workers who
have been Disseminated against. If
you do, then the boss, the manager,
the headwaiter, the maitre dhotel will
take advantage of your weakness and
will force upon you worse conditions
than even before the strike.
The only way of guaranteeing that
this will not happen is to maintain
the organization in the shop, is to
consider the strikers who are still out
as part of your shop, and above
all to establish unity in your ranks
regardless as to whether or not the
officials or the bosses like it. Regard
less of what union you are member,
regardless of whether you work in the
kitchen or the dining room, regard
less of whether you are cook, waiter,
busboy, dishwasher, chambermaid,
hcuseman, etc, call joint meetings
and elect joint hotel committees that
will represent you and that will take
up all grievances and all agreements
made providing that you accept them.
Places Responsibility
The Hotel and Restaurant Workers
Union, Local 119 of the Food Work
ers Industrial Union is holding the
Field, Gitlows, Cannons, ETC., respon-
sible for this Sell-out These indi-
viduals and their cliques before the
strike and from the first day of the
strike, continued the policy Of flirting
with the bosses and the N. r. A and
sabotaged every militant act on the
part of the workers. They are re-
sponsible for the fact that the strike
was not spread to all the hotels and
to all the departments Of every hotel.
False Promises
They promised general strikes of
| the bakers and butchers as a means
of helping to win the strike. They
are responsible for not establishing
the unity of the strikers regardless of
their union aff1liation. They consist
emily refused the cooperation of the
Food Workers Industrisl Union,
claiming that if the workers would
accept the cooperation of our Union,
that public opinion and the N. R. A.
would be against the strike. At the
same time, they accepted wholeheart-
edly the cooperation of the bosses and
the N. r. A.-and together with them
they betrayed the strike.

to establish unity by sending our
strikers to join hands with you. We

By HARRY CANNES


YESTERDAY marked t h e
i end of the first year of the
Roosevelt regime. This first
year of the New Deal is now
being weighed in the balance.
Each class in society makes its own
estimate. The bankers and capitalists
are Joyous because of their increased
profits, and their increased power
But their joy is not unalloyed. They
enter the second year of the Roose-
welt regime with great uncertainty
and fear over the rising struggles of
the workers.
Opening with an orgy of demagogy
the first year Of the Roosevelt regime
expires amid the agony of bitter dis
illusionment among vast masses Of
workers, farmers and petty bour-
geoisie. The torrent of criticism
leveled at the MIRA. at the "critics
field day" demonstrated this clearly
Some Of the closest supporters and
apologists of the New Deal admit
that the New Deal is not what it was
cracked up to be, that tremendous
class struggles loom, and that class
lines are being sharpened.
The World Telegram concludes its
editorial on Roosevelt's first year as
follows:
"The next year will be harder.
Bureaucracy will grow AID the
president will have difficulty in
keeping close to the people. Re
dictionary business and political
forces will gather more power. And
among the rank and file much Of
the excitement and glory of the
New Deal will wear thin"

The current issue of the American

items is more apparent than real.

ture of the N. r. A. as expressed
particularly in Section la, was
brought out.
The N. R. A. proved itself to be an
instrument to smash strikes and to
keep wages low. On the anniversary
Of Roosevelt's first year in office, his
outstanding act was to strengthen the
National Labor Board whose avowed
purpose is to make strikes illegal.

the growth of company unions. ut
seems strange, but true" writes the
A. F. Of L. Council, that the N.R.A.
which guaranteed that employees
shall have the right to organize and
bargain collectively through repre-
sentatives of their own choosing .
should indirectly have led to a great
increases in number and membership
Of company unions"
This seems strange only to those
who tried to mislead the workers as
to the real meaning Of the N. r. A.
Thousands of workers, believing the
Roosevelt and the A. F. Of L. official
dom's talk about the right to organ
ize, flocked into the A. F. of L. only
to be victimized by two forces. In
the factories they found that the
fright to organize" was travesty.
From their leaders they learned that
to use organization for struggle to
improve better conditions was con-
trary to the meaning of N. R. A. Yet
the growth of the A. F. of L., and
especially the influx of new forces
ready for struggle, as well as the re-
viving of the spirit for struggle
among the older members, as well as
the growth of independent unions,
made necessary the greater organiza-
ton of the militant rank and file
within these unions against the N.
r. A. and the trade union official
dom closely allied with it,

tions. Such action taken in the in
terests of the bankers and insur-
ance companies, clearly exposes the
effects of the New Deal on the
struggling population"
The arrest of the 10 Roberts County
farmers and the Injunction against
the United Farmers League grew out
of the action of the workers and
farmers in protesting the eviction of
Harry Nieland, farmer, and in put
ting the Nieland family back on the
farm from which the Northwestern
Insurance Company had had him
evicted.

| flush Of higher profits on the face
Of the banks and big corporations.
WHILE Roosevelt prevented the
W further collapse of the banks, he
intensified the financial crisis, spread
ing it into the whole body of the
capitalist system. Through imitation
he makes the toiling masses pay for
keeping alive defective banks and
bankrupt corporations. BY his sup
port to rapid classification, and par
ticularly to the most powerful trusts,
he has sharpened the class struggle
Mainly this is expressed by the ire
mendous rise of the strike wave, which
is the dominant feature of the class
struggle under the Roosevelt regime
| The new year of the New Deal
opens up with strikes in aluminium,
auto, marine, and with the deepest
discomfort among railroad and steel
workers and among the miners.
Conflicts Among the Capitalists
Among the capitalist class there are
sharper conflicts for dominant posi-
ton, for control of the justification
going on, for the greater share of the
increased profits and subsidies, and
for domination in the government ap-
paratus. This is seen in the sharper
rift between small, non-trustif1ed in
dustfy and the big corporations who
through the N. r. A. are swallowing
up small industry. 1t is seen in the
conflict between various trusts, such
as Ford and General Motor; in the
struggle for financial domination be-
tween the Rockefeller and Morgan
banks, as well as in the air mail
scandals.
DOctored Figures
No accurate estimate can be gained
of the present economic situation
from government statistics as they are
all doctored to suit the demagogy of
the Roosevelt regime. This is ad-
mitted by the Annahst, organ of Wall
Street bankers (Feb. 2, 1880, which
says:
-. The college professors and
government officials have thrown a
veil of suspicion upon all Federal
statistics Who woud testify
| tAAdb tliG udJd CA1ltbtu VOudy Dy feu-
eral agencies have not already been
warped by administration Stats
ticians to show whatever the ex-
igencies of the moment require?"
Not only are the internal con-
tradictions Of American capitalism
intensifying, particularly because OF
the rapid worsening of the conditions
of the toiling masses, but externally
the conflict between U. S. capitalism
and its leading competitors, Great
Britain and Japan, have reached the
point where the next stage is the
direct development to war.
More Fascist Methods
In the face of this situation, with
the growing establishment of the
masses, who enter ale road of
struggle, the Roosevelt regime steps
out more openly with its dictatorial
power, using more and more fascist
methods for its attack on the work
ers, particularly against their strikes
and trade unions, and for war
preparations.
When Roosevelt came to power he
promised not only a solution of the
economic crisis particularly by the
elimination of unemployment but
fundamental changes in capitalist

Dear Jane Jordan-The boy I am
going with went with Mary Helen
for two years. They split up two
weeks ago. He says he loves me
and doesn't care for her any more.
Yesterday Mary Helen found out he
has dates with me. She says she
won't go back to him if he has an
other date with me. Mary Helen
and I never did get along with each
other. Would it be the right thing
for me to stop going with him? AL
though he says he loves me I think
he loves her. After going with her
for two years 1 know he couldn't
forget her that quick. SALLY.
Answer-You would be sur
prised what short memories young
men have, and how easily they
take to new faces. If you stop
having dates with him now it will
be because your pride can't stand
the idea of his going back to the
other girl. This shows you are
lacking in self confidence and
courage. Why don't you have a
good time while you can without
worrying about its permanence?
