Demand for Workers Bill
Reflected by Endorsements

Since its formulation by the Com
munist Party in 1890 and its adop-
ton by the Unemployment Councils
during the campaign for the first
hunger march, the Workers Unem-
ployment and Social Insurance Bill
has won the support of millions of
workers in industry, in the unem-
ployed organizations, and among
farmers, veterans small home
owners and fraternal groups.
Four international unions of the
American Federation of Labor-the
Amalgsmated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, the Inter-
national Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers Union, the Textile Work
ers Union and the American Fed
Grafton Of Full Fashioned Hosiery
Workers have registered their en-
dorsement of the Workers Bill.
Show Mass Demand
The endorsement of the bill, in
some cases over the opposition of
the old-line A. F. of L. leaders.
shows the tremendous mass desire
for unemployment insurance as en-
bodied in the Workers Bill, and the
tremendous pressure the workers
are exerting for its enactment.
In addition to these endorsements
by the international conventions of
basic industry, five State Fedora
tons Of Labor have backed the bill.
Montana, Iowa, Colorado, Nebraska
and Rhode Island. and District 10
of the United Mine Workers of
America.
Central Labor Bodies Back Bill
According to the incomplete re-
ords of the Daily Worker, 30 Cen
trail Trades and Labor bodies have
acted in behalf Of the Workers Bill.
These endorsements include: Fed
Grated Trades Council Of Reading,
Pa; Painters District Council 81 of
PHILADELPHIA. Pa; Trades Assembly
nf Bradford. Pa: Joint Board of
the I.L.G.W.U. of Cleveland, Ohio;
Trades Assembly of Schenectady,

with contempt, extended this atti-
tude also to those of their members
who became destitute because of
unemployment. Tens of thousands
of members of these unions have
been expelled because they could
not continue to pay the high dues
that provide the source of the high
salaries that these union leaders"
draw for themselves. Instead of
putting the resources of the A. F. Of
L. unions at the disposal of the I'M
employed, instead Of helping to or
ganize and lead their struggles,
these officials have supported every
attack made upon the organized
unemployed and every attempt to
discourage organization and strug-
gle for adequate relief and unem-
ployment insurance.
Even the T.U.UL. and indepen-
dent unions have not given suff1ci-
ent support to the struggle Of the
unemployed because they still look
upon this as temporary rather
than fundamental problem. But
these unions as we'll as the rank
and file of the A. F. of L. unions.
Even the unions affiliated to the
T.U.U.L. and the independent un-
ions that have freed themselves
from the domination of the treach-
erous leadership of the Greens, the
VOLS and Lewises, have not fully
grasped the Importance of the
the struggle against unemployment.
Even these unions and the rank and
file of the A. F. of L. have con-
fined themselves in the main to
support by resolutions, instead of
to active leadership and participa-
ton in the struggles.

iected all fraudulent substitutes
The A. F. of L. leaders still oppose
the Workers Bill despite the fact
5llat more than 2400 locals have re-
pudiated and rebuked them.
Mayor McLevy Of Bridqeao~t est
his vote against the Workers Bill
despite the fact that the City Cen
trail Committee of the Socialist
Party of which he is a member en-
dorsed it. Music and his followers
in the National Unemployed Lea
CUES still agitate against the Work
ers' Bill and refuse to enlist their
organizations in the fight for this
vital measure, despite the fact that
they did not dare oppose its en-
dorsement by the convention Of the
Leagues.
Our next immediate task there
fore Is to consolidate and unite the
forces of the millions of workers
who realize that the fight for gen.
uine unemployment and social in
surance is vital to their very exist
ence. These forces, when united.
can compel the government to do
something more than render lip
service to the workers right to "se-
curity Of home, livelihood and
social insurance" These forces
when united can force the next
74th0 Session of Congress to take
action on the Workers Bill instead
of engage in shadow boxing on such
fake proposals as will be made by
Roosevelt.
That is the purpose of the Ma
tional Congress on Social Security
as proposed by the Unemployment
Council. This is the next and i'm
portant phase Of the struggle to
safeguard the lives, well-being and
living standards of the toiling popu-
lation.
Chief Concern of Employed
The National Congress on Social
Security will not be a gathering of
only the unemployed and their re-
personalities. Employed as well as
unemployed workers are equally
concerned. Unions, fraternal, veter-
ans, Negro and even church Or
CARNATIONS can and will be involved
in the Congress. The International
Unions and State Federations that
have already endorsed the Workers
Bill and all others will be asked to
participate and thus show that they
are ready to act in accordance with
the will of their membership as ex-
pressed in their resolutions. In the
same manner, the Socialist Party,
the Farmer-Labor Party of Mime
sofa and the various organizations
under their influence will be asked
to back up their statements and
resolutions by joining in united
action.
All these organizations and many
prominent individuals of every
shade of political opinion and affili-
alton are being invited to partici-
PATE and be represented in the Ma
tional, state and local Arrangements
Committees for the Congress. They
are not expected to agree and sub
scribe to all particulars of the pro-
gram of the Unemployment Council
or any other organization. The

tee will be to help convene the

s1oE oRMI nEup1oxE 1SA2Ec

To all A. F. Of L., T. U. U. L.,
and Independent Unions !;
Locals and Central Bodies,
Fellow-workersl Brothers!
We are addressing this ap-
peal to you in behalf of the
millions of tally unemployed
and part time workers and with a
consideration to the interests of the
entire working class.
For five years millions of workers
in all trades and industries, in every
city and town of the country. have
been jobless. During the one year
of 1882, our wage-loss amounted to
the staggering total of twenty one
billion dollars 1921 100000! The
families of four and half mil
lion American workers have been
reduced to existence on an aver
ege income of $3.50 per week. Many
millions get no relief at all. The
living Standards of all workers, the
employed as we'll as the tobless,
have been reduced in direct procor-
ton to the general low level that
has been established for the workers
dependent on relief.
These are some of the immediate
direct results of mass unemploy-
ment. All of US suffer from or are
menaced by these conditions. This
is a condition which has become
chronic and permanent. All ex-
perts agree that because of labor
displaying machinery and speed
up, millions are doomed to remain
iobless even though production IS
restored to the p.e-crisis level OF
1928.

The Workers. Unemployment
And Social Insurance Bill

The Workers Unemployment and
Social Insurance Bill as it was in
troduced into Congress on Feb. 2,
1894, under House Resolution 1898,
differs from the original bill as
sponsored by numerous workers or
CARNATIONS in the following respects:
l. 1t does not provide for the use
Of war funds for unemployment and
social insurance.
2. 1t does not specifically state
that workers shall be entitled to
benefits irrespective of citizenship.
Aside from these very important
omissions, the bill, as presented, en-
bodies all the essentials of genuine
social insurance.
The full text of the Workers Bill
follows
A Bill
To provide for the establishment
of unemployment and social insur-
ance and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and
the House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con-
greSs Assembled, that this Act shall

hereby authorized and directed to
provide for the immediate establish

amounts equal to average local

administered by workers and farm

Transfer Certificates
Through. Co. Agent

Legal transferrence of cotton
tax-exemption certificates from
ione grower to another must be made
through the county agents office,
warns Dean /. O. schaub, of State
College.
Illegally transferred certificates
will be cancelled, he said, and the
cotton they were intended to. cover
will be subject to the Bankhead
tax of five and two-thirds cents a
pound: H.: .H~"
To protect growers from fraud,
Spectators, or unfair practices in
the trading of certificates, provi-
sion was made that all exchanges
must be made through the county
agent and at the rate of four cents
Ia pound.
Schaub pointed u that it is also
illegal to sell a certificate to a per-
son who is not a cotton grower
However, it is permissible for gin
ners to go to the county agent and
buy certificates for a grower when
the grower gives him written auth
orization. to do so.
/ When an illegal transfer is dis
covered, Schaub; said, notice will be
sent the collector of internal rev.
,enue and other persons involved in
the transfer, including the county
agent. s.t .,
Schaub also said. that every dollar
spent for extra tax~exemption GER
tificates goes to help growers who
failed to produce the full amour,
of their allotments.: - :
The sale of surplus gives the I'M
derpreducer a form of crop insur-
lance by enabling him to realize
four cents a. pound for. that par,
of his allotment he failed to pro-
duce. 1t also gives the overpro-
ducer a chance to sell his exces.
cotton without paying the full
amount of the Bankhead tax:
