Nationwide Hunger and the Fight for Relief
An Editorial

for unemployment insurance is now the most vital
link to be firmly seized in the whole struggle against
the Wall Street program Of Roosevelt.
Tt is apparent that Roosevelt is getting ready
for showdown on the relief question. He will use
smooth talk and then if necessary bullets and tear
gas to maintain his policy of placing the relief bur-
dens on the backs of the working class.
But it is certainty that the American working
class will not submit meeky to this callous Roose-
welt brutality!
The Communist Party, and the Unemployment
Councils all over the country proclaim the unem-
ployment program of the working class against the
hunger program of the Wall Street capitalists.
The immediate needs of the working class are
embodied in the Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill for which thousands of A. F. of L. locals So
ciast Party branches, working class groups every
where have registered their support.
This bill expresses the demand for the follow
ing vital needs of millions of jobless American
workers, as well as the entire working class.
1. Immediate cash relief for every jobless FAM
lily at the rate prevailing wages, with So
extra for every dependent.
2. Federal unemployment insurance to be paid
for by the employers and the Government, and adj
ministered by the workers themselves.
4. All funds for the jobless to be raised by tax
ing the rich, stopping payments to the bankers,
and turning over all war funds for the jobless.
This is the program of the working class which
the Communist Party opposes to Roosevelt's pro-
gram of hunger and permanent misery.
The Communist Party works necessarily to win
these immediate demands for the working class.
Through this daily fight the Communist Party
prepares the masses for the overthrow of the whole
system which doons so many millions to misery.
The Communist Party would not worry as Hop
k.nS and Roosevelt worrying, about the
profits Of the employers. The Communist Party
would open every warehouse in the country and dis
tribute the surplus" goods to the workers who need
them Unemployment would be abolished in the same
way as the workers and peasants of the Soviet
Union have abolished It, by placing the factories
and mines under the control of the working class,
ruling through its dictatorship At sweep, the
great curses of unemployment insecurity and pow
erty would be abolished The rule of the Wall Street
parasites would be forever ended.
The fight for relief is part of the class strug-
gle between the workers and the Wall Street
parasites. The approach of winter draws the lines
sharply. Mobilize the masses against hunger De-
mand federal Unemployment insurance! On to the
Congress for Social Security to be held at Washing
ton January 5 to II

ulaire," stressed with militant in
sistence the need of unrelentlng
struggle by the working class OF
each country against its own ruling
class as the best guarantee against
war.
Ruling Glass Only Enemy
Workers" he said, "have no
enemies save their own ruling class.
In the last war the workers of every
country were told that they were
fighting to save their country, but
the only country which was saved
was that one where the working
class were able to turn the imperial
ist war into a civil war against their
own oppressors at home"
The conclusion of Perigauds
speech brought from several French
workers in the hall shouts of "viye

social revolution and from German
workers in the audience cries Of and
salutes Of" Red Front"
Other speakers at the meeting

fred Chapel, DR.. Harry F. Ward,
Rev. William Lloyd lines, and Edwin

the people is Federal relief and unemployment in
surance, the Roosevelt government warns" against
Federal relief proposals!
Could capitalist brutality, capitalist ruthessness
and brazenness go further?
Hopkins makes 1t clear that the Roosevelt gov
eminent plans the lowest possible living standards
for the American working class.
Wherever there is single person working in
family. relief will be denied to all the others
who are iobless. THE program of unemployment
must center on those actually in need :" This
viii not apply to thoes whose family incomes were
adequate prior to the depression" Hopkins states
"and who not in need but who are in compe-
ttion with those i'll need" This is rnenacing to
every young worker, every jooess worker whose
immediate relatives have some kind of meager
income. The Roosevelt government is openly driv-
ing down the accepted living standards of millions
of families
Roosevelt will of course do nothing that will
interfere with cent of capitalist profits to aid
the jcbless and the hungry Hopkins makes that
clear enough. "The objective should be to find
employment in private industry maintained and
operated for profit Hopkins declared 1t is not
the welfare of the millions of suffering American
workers and farmers that Hopkins is worried about;
1T is the maintenance of capitalist profit and the
capitalist system.
that will spread work among the American working
class that will slash the real and cash wage Of every
worker in America. Rather than make the capt.
talst class, the employers, bankers and landlords
pay for the feeding of the jobless, Hopkins will
make the starving feed the starving!
Such is the outline of the program which Roose-
welt has in store for the millions of American work
ers who face permanent unemployment and starva-
ton. 1t is the hunger program of the Wall Street
banks, the industriasts and landlords 1t is pro-
gram that protects the rich and places the crushing
burden of the crisis on the backs of the masses
THE urgency of the relief crisis that now looms be-
fore the American masses as Winter approaches
is given significant expression by Hopkins himself
when he states:
ITO say that our industrial system cannot pro-
vide fer this security is indeed to admit defeat"
Could the revolutionary character of the fight
for Immediate caEh relief and Federal unemploy-
ment insurance be mere clearly indicated?
The speech of Hopkins drives home the fact
that the struggle for the relief of the jobless ard

By AL STEELE

AFTER Uhree pOStponementS, the
last one setting II am. yesterday
as a deadline, the strike of elevator
operators, starters, porters and other
building service workers Of rs build
ings in Manhattan's garment center
has again been delayed by the lead
ers of Local 32-B of the Building
Service Employees International
Union.
This time action was prevented
by another secret conference, held
in an unnamed midtown hotel, at
which James j. Bambrick, president
of the union, Ben Golden of the
Regional Labor Board and repre-
sentatiyes Of the owners were pre-
sumably present.
Bosses Benefit
While the leaders of the union
are postponing action, each time for
a different reason, in the hope Of
reaching some peaceful" under
standing with the owners, no time
is lost by the real estate operators
in making extensive preparations
for a war that will, they hope, break
the union and make the dealing
with union labor no problem for
them.
1t has been reported that owners
and agents of buildings, both in
Office and loft as well as in apart
ment buildings, have employed as
many as 5000 strikebreakers ready
for action in case of strike.
Demanding city and state investi-
cations of their charges, the union
sent the following telegram of pro-
test to Mayor LaGuardia and Gov
ernor Lehman, over the signature
of James j. Bambrick
I'VE have in our possession a
copy of a memo sent to all real
estate owners by the Realty Advis-
ory Board for Labor Relations. 1t
says, in part: Men to replace build
ing employees who go out or are
forced out on strike must be secured
through the usual channels, namely,
advertising, employment agencies,
including the state We vigorously
protest the use of state agencies in
supplying strike breakers, depriving
our men of their livelihood. We
also demand that you investigate
records of men hired by the Val
O'Toole, Pescia, Holmes, Pinkerton
and Pagan detective agencies, who
are hiring known gorillas and gun
men, to determine whether these
men have police or criminal records.
These men can only provoke vio-
lence and bloodshed."

Union Officials Again
Block Strike of n. Y.
Building Service Men
Chiefs of Local Meet Secretly With Bosses and
Regional Labor Board Officials

In reply to an inquiry from a
Daily Worker reporter, Mayor La
Guardia stated that the telegram
of Mr.. Bambrick was referred to
the State Department of Labor and
the New York Police Department.
I'VE also get complaints from the
other side, you know" he added.
They've been referred to the
proper authorities"
Sentiment against the dragging
out Of the negotiations and "arbt-
tration settlements" by the union
leaders is reported growing among
the men on the job. The readiness
of the men to act was clearly in
dicated yesterday, when a consider
able proportion of the men walked
off the job at IL o'clock, the hour
set for action.
The union reported that no strike
action has been taken anywhere
yesterday. The conference, begun
during the forenoon, had not yet
concluded, as the Daily Worker
went to press.
The Daily Worker was informed
late yesterday that the owners Of
the Lefcourt Buildings, at 1859,
1875, 1884 and 1412 Broadway and
148 West 36th ST., have been given
permission by Arthur L. Harck-
ham, chairman of the strike com
mittee of the union, not to pay the
strikers for the time lost by them
during the strike.
Workers Complain
Similar complaints have made
to the Daily Worker by workers
about 498, 500 and 512 Seventh
Avenue.
When questioned, Mr. Harckham
stated that he had not been ap-
preached by the owners on this and
had never heard of it.
That the workers would resent
such action if ever taken by the
leaders of the union seems obvious
from the sentiment of the workers.
1t is quite apparent that the
bosses are getting ready for war on
the union and the economic de-
mands of the workers. 1t is also
becoming ever more obvious that
the rank and file workers are get
ting more and more impatient with
the dilly-dallying of the union
leadership.
The membership Of the union
should get ready without delay and
bring pressure to bear upon their
leaders to act, and act quickly, if
the concessions won are to be
saved and further improvement Of
their conditions achieved.

Confirming what the Daily

torially-that it is not principle but

to the relief, for the relief of
our neighbors."
Continuing on the same theme,
he said:
I'VE must talk frankly. -Four
hundred thousand families in our
city are under the care of and liv-
ing on relief. Until the economic
situation is so improved that the
city, state and federal government
will be relieved from this RESPONSE
bility, taxes will not only be high,
they will be very high"
Demagogic Attack
In the typical LaGuardia fashion,
the Mayor Iarded his speeches with
vague attacks on those who have
had control of our industries and
finances" Sensing the fact that
no attack on the masses of the city
cannot be made without a thick
dash Of demagogy, he stated:
Il submit that it comes with
i'll grace from those who have
had control of our industries and
finances, who are so lacking in
vision and in courage and in
ability and ingenuity as to pre-
vent the inevitable crash that was
bound to come and anyone could
see in the so-called days of our
prosperity. The community can
not stand by idly and see our chill
dren starve. AS Mayor of this
city, I refuse to do it,"
HOdson Admits Relief Inadequate
Preceding the mayor, Blaine
asked a series Of questions CAL
culated to show the Importance of
private relief in addition to public
agencies. In answering one of
Blaines questions, Commissioner
Hodson admitted that the relief
dispensed by the city is inadequate
and that further cuts might be
expected. He stated:
mo one appreciates more than
do that for many of the families
under our care the relief we are
able to give them is inadequate,
You cannot maintain the normal
standard of living with the relief
funds available Regardless of
what family has hitherto been
accustomed to, all must share
equitably and on the same basis
so far as relief funds are con-
cerned."
At today's meeting with the
aldermanic leaders Mayor LaGuar-
dia will disclose his tax program,
it is understood.
New Tax Proposals
Aldarmanic President Bernard S.
Deutsch earlier in the day listed a
series of tax measures under con-
sideration by the city authorities.
Among these were: the sales tax,
the payroll tax, the occupancy
(apartment) tax, tax on hotel
rooms, a tax on meal checks over
so cents, increase of the utility tax
to 8 per cent, increasing the pres
ent business tax from lilo of l per
cent to IA of l per cent, a tax on
mortgage interest, a tax on bank
deposits, an inheritance tax, and a
transit tax.
Current reports, however, indi-
cate that the levies under most
careful consideration are the sales,
payroll and transit taxes. Every
one Of these would hit the over
whelming majority of the popula-
ton hardest, with the unemployed
and working population affected
above all.
A transit tax of two cents on
each subway, elevated and bus
fare would probably boost the fare

Predicts Soviet Power

HAVANA, Nov. 12.-Declaring
that the setting up of the first
Soviet government in the Western
Hemisphere would probably take
place on Cuban soil, spokesman
fer the Communist Party Of Cuba,
in a copyright interview with the
United Press, outlined the con-
tradictions in the predatory Men
dieta Government, forecast its in
evitable overthrow by the organized
power Of the workers and peasants,
and explained what would be the
primary obligations of the prole-
tartan dictatorship.
The Reputation of all foreign
loans, both foreign and domestic,
the abolition Of treaties, particularly
the new reciprocity treaty" with
the United States, were some of the
immediate tasks to be faced by the
SoYiets.
"There are between 1000 and 5000
members of the Communist Party
in Cuba" he said, This represents
an increase OF about 500 per cent
since the fall Of Nechado in August,
1888. About 80 per cent of the
members in Cuba a-e Negroes. We
are organized throughout the coun-
try and are especially strong in
