WASHINGTON, April 9. = "The

is no higher than it was year ago."
the American Federation Of Labor's
monthly survey of business for April
announced today Failure to raise
wages in proportion to greatly in
creased corporation profits, claims
the A. F. of L., is due to the fact
that the employers "are less will
ing to cooperate in the Presidents
program" 1t is a widely known
fact that the N. I. r. A., which is
"the Presidents program" forced
the standard of living of the work
ers below the. terribly low Hoover
level.
There is no justification for the
large price increases which have
been made in many products. Code
mechanisms have been used for
price prof1teering. This is contrary
to the purpose of the Recovery Act.
Price control is one of the chief
problems before us. 1t is of prime
interest to labor that wage increases
have been completely cancelled by
rising costs Of living. The individual
workers real wage today is no
higher than 1t was year ago, in

Hell ROOSEVELT" Is Cry
At Nazi Meet in Queens
Workers Give Out 5000
Leaflets in Counter
Demonstration

NEW YORK.-With $50 Nazi
storm troopers wearing Silver Shirt
uniforms on guard, the Nazis of New
York concentrated all their forces
in mass anti-Jewish meeting in
Ridgewood Grove, Queens, Sunday
night.
The Nazis mustered 5000, who
filled the hall, and three or four
thousand more who could not get
in. Hundreds of police we're on
hand to protect the Nazis, and the
silver-shirted storm troopers inside,
armed with rubber blackjacks,
elected anyone they disapproved Of.
Cries of "HeiI ROOSEVELT were
mingled with cries of Hell Hit
ler!" as speakers denounced all
Jews and declared that Hitler's
and RoOsevelt's policies were ex-
actly the same.
When resolution calling for a
counter-boycott to the anti-Nazi
boycott was presented, and one
voice in the hall cried mo" the
storm troopers pounced on him and
threw him out.
Five thousand leaflets exposing
the Hitler terror we're distributed at
the meeting and outside the hall by
workers called by the Ridgewood
Anti Fascist Committee, the Com
munist Party and the Committee to
Aid Victims of German Fascism.
The workers had attended mass
meeting in Queens Labor Lyceum
earlier, where speakers attacked the
Nazis;
Leaflets Effective
That the leaflets they distributed
were effective was demonstrated by
the fact that no leaflets were to be
seen on the ground afterward-all
those who received them kept them
and read them.
Nazis and workers clashed out
side the hall several times, and
three persons we're arrested, among
them Aaron Schlossberg and Abe
Bloom. Both were charged with
third degree assault, and released
in $500 bail provided by the Inter
national Labor Defense.
Schlossberg will come up for trial
Wednesday, and Bloom on Friday,
in the Fifth Magistrates Court,
Ridgewood, Queens. Workers are
urged to pack the courtroom when
thev come up for trial.

WASHINGTON. April 9.-Sit-
ting on the palatial yacht of his
close friend, Vincent Astor, null

Roosevelt yesterday signed the
new Agricultural Adjustment Bill
providing for an appropriation of
another $250,000,000 to pay for

most $9O0,oOO,00O to pay the rich
farmers and plantation owners
for the destruction of wheat,
corn and cotton. The Govern
metn collects the money back
from the consumers through the
processing taxes which have
raised the price of bread and
