The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-06-30
Mr.. Roosevelt, the Answer
Is emo" i!


This is a bold trick. It is an attempt
to hypnotic the masses who are swiftly
discovering in their daily experience what
the New Deal means into feeling of i'm
provement through seemingly confident, candid
manner.
1t is the trick Of quack who thinks he will cure
a cancer by a bright bedside manner
. Well let us answer this demagogue's question.
~ Today the average workers family has to pay
20 per cent more for milk Is per cent more for
bread, 20 to rs per cent more for clothes, and at
least 20 per cent more for daily necessities than
before Roosevelt began to jack up prices through
the NRA and imitation.
Every working class family is eating less food, or
getting along poorer quality food thanks TO
Roosevelts rising price program.
And this means that in the last twelve months
every single pay envelope OF the working class has
received an actual, indirect slash of Is to 20 per
cent.
In answer to ROosevets question, every work
ing class family of the country roar back,
'NIr. Roosevelt, you are rObbing and our chill
dren of milk and food through your N.R.A.-New
Deal"
EXTHAT did the miners get out of Roosevelts New
w Deal? Bullets slave MIRA. Code that sane
lions speed-up, and wage cuts.
What did the steel workers get9 An open shop
MIRA Code wage cuts and e-breaking. They
got the Werton decision which openly proclainls
that the companies fasten company unions on
the men, and can ignore the unions chosen by the
steel workers.
Thanks to Roosevelt the impoverished, small
farmers today have to pay so to 100 per cent more
for machinery clothes, fertilizer oil, and manu-
featured goods. The spread between farm prices and
manufactured goods is steadily widening, catching
the small farmers in the deadly Scissors"
Roosevelt's AAA program is driving hundreds
Of thousands OF small tenant farmers off the land.
Roosevelt leaves the mass Of drought-stricken
farmers to the horrors of the blight OF nature.
Roosevelt boasts that unemployment fell That
Is true But it fell result of the vicious spread
work" plan of the NRA codes which only spread
misery through slashing wages and dividing starva-
ton equally among the working class. The Darrow
report definitely proved that the N.R.A. SIS only
a method of spreading the available work" reduc-
ing the wage level
ROOSEVELT chides the "timid critics." that is
Nthe Republicans for not approaching what he
has done. He says in effect, you scold me, you
call the New Deal Communism. But you fools,
don't you that better defender OF CAPT.
talism than you, that have succeeded in putting
over the masses what Hoover could never get
4 away with because he was too dumb to know how
to trick the masses"
Yes, indeed, Roosevelt is shrewder than Hoover,
and a effective tool of Wall Street at the
present period when the masses are awakening to
the rottenness Of the Wall Street rule
Thanks to the New Deal" Wall Street. as the
Darrow report proved, has frightened it's monopoly
grip. has maintained its huge profits at the expense
of the whole population with the active assistance
of the Roosevelt government. Stock market broker
age houses showed profit of almost one billion
dollars, wheat and stock spectators cleaned up
more than at any time since the balmy days Of
the Coolidge boom"
Under Roosevelt, the Wall Street rich get richer
and the masses become poorer.
DOOSEVELTs optimistic verbiage is an attempt
to make the masses forget what the Darrow
report contained It is an attempt TO fill their
empty stomachs with hot air in the hope that the
Inevitable explosion Of mass hatred for the Wall
Street exploiters win be postponed
aren't you better Off" Roosevelt asks
The vast majority of the people are answering
Roosevelt with an unniStakable moi" The record
breaking strike wave, the struggles in Toledo
Minneapolis, Frisco, New Orleans answer mo-
The mass demonstrations of the impoverished
farmers against the mortgage sharks answer with
q roaring MOI" The millions of jobless workers
who face the brutal calousness of the Government
Relief Boards and Welfare Agencies answer "No!"
And the steel workers, the coal miners the rail-
road workers and longshoremen, these workers who
feed the fires Of industry and carry the weight of
the Wall Street government on their backs, they
answer NO" they look at their shriveled pay
envelopes their intensified exploitation under the
MIRA
In their daily fights with the employers the
q american working class is discovering that the
d Roosevelt government capitalist government,
& Is their enemy and the friend and agent of the
Il capitalist exploiters. They learning that in
a. order to destroy the mseries of unemployment,
# the horrors of wage slavery and exploitation they
must destroy the capitalist system and the Wall
Stree. dictatorship which is masked by the fraud
