PROTEST MARCH ID
LaCuardia's Insurance
Would Tax Workers

NEW YORK. - The La
Guardia administration plans
to keep off of the relief rolls
many thousands of c. w. A.
workers who have been fired,
Il was admitted by La Guardia's
Commissioner of Public Welfare,
William Hodson, in statement is
sued Sunday. Hodson also stated
openly that those lucky enough to
get back on the relief rolls will be
taken at a greatly reduced wage.
This is in line with the policy of
the Roosevelt government Of "de-
modifying" the C. W. A. in such a
way as to drastically cut down re-
lief appropriations as well as to do
away with G. w. A. jobs.
I'VE are going TO hsre to go
back 10 a relief wage instead of a
working wage" Hodson said, "snd
we are only going to be able to give
this to the destitute"
Hodson said he doesn't know"
what relief the jobless will get after
April LIST or how many will get re-
lief. "A good many people are go
ing TO be pretty bitter Hodson ad-
n1itted, TITS going to be very diff
ferent after April 1. We're going
right back where we started from
before the C. w. A. was begun, on
a work relief basis. That means a
minimum subsistence basis for the
destitute only"
Bankers Get Their Money.
Hodson admitted that the agree
ment OF La Guardia's administration
with the bankers allows the city
to spend only three million dollars
month on unemployment relief.
The rest must come, he said. from
the federal government. The La
Guardia administration insists on
maintaining his agreement to pay
the bankers millions in interest and
old debts. and give no more for re-
lief This agreement runs until
September.
At the same time La Guardia is
sued a statement again advocating
an unemployment insurance" plan
whereby not the bankers or the gov
eminent would supply funds for the
unemployed, but where all workers
would be taxed to secure funds.
The cost to the city and federal
government of this plan, La Guardia
said, would be even less than the
relief now given. The workers con-
tributions would undoubtedly make
up the difference.
Hundreds of jobless men waited
all Saturday night for jobs shovel
ling snow. shivering in the cold in
front Of the Department Of SAM
tation offices. But not one job was
given out.

BULLETIN

WASHINGTON, D. C.,
March 1.-THE House of
Representatives voted to-
day for cash payment of
Patman S2,200,000,O0O sol
diers' bonus. Continuous
pressure by rank and file
veterans forced the House
to pass the measure.
WASHINGTON, D. C. March II.
The House today approved i'm
mediate consideration of the Pat
man greenback bonus bill by a
vote of 313 to 1O4, more than the
necessary two-thirds required to
override a presidential veto. The
Patmsn bill was expected to be
voted on momentarily as the Daily
Worker went to press. Debate was
limited to two hours to secure an
early vote.
The House was expected to pass
the Patman bonus" bill over the
insistence Of President Roosevelt
that he will veto any measure al
lowing veterans compensation or
bonus. The Patman bill does not
call for payment of the full cash
bonus but calls for payments in
greenbacks, accelerating initiation.
However, even this modified bonus
bill is being fought strenuously by
the Roosevelt administration.
The Patman bill was assured Of
passage by the house as all Con-
gressmen come up for reelection
this year and are afraid to face the
voters with the record Of voting
against the veterans. The Roose-
welt leaders, including Speaker
Rainey, let it be known that the
administration will now try to kill
the bonus bill in the senate.
The amendments to the hide
pendent Offices Bill which grant
the disabled veterans some COM
pensation are also expected to be
voted on this week, and the Roose-
welt administration is trying to kill
these amendments as well.
