MCCORMICK SLAPS
NEWDEAL POLICIES
Charges Right to Trial by
Jury and Freedom of Ex-

Eythe Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, September IL
Col. Robert r. Mccormick, publisher
OF the Chicago Tribune, charged to-
day in an address that the rights
O. trial by jury, of taxation by Con-
g7ess and of freedom of expression
a-e being abridged or menaced.
He appealed to Constitution day
audience In Carpenters Hall, meeting
pace of the First Continental Con-
g-ess, to adhere to rigid interpreta-
ton of the Constitution.
More economic, social and moral
prosress has been made in America
IN less than a century and a half
under the Constitution than in the
whole world in the entire course OF
recorded history" Col. Mccormick
said
This progress has been made un-
der the Constitution and because OF
the Constitution.
"Do not let men coming in Trojan
horse with pretended gifts take it
away from YOU"
Constitution Derided.
The publisher asserted that the
Constitution and Bill of Rights are
new derided by powerful men who
write the laws for Congress to pass
without consideration and who claim
that with the aid of complacent judges
and justices these rights of the people
may be stretched and warped to suit
the desires of whoever may be tempo
rally in charge of executive or legis-
lative departments"
DO you wish to be free from
cruel and unusual punishments? You
are not Free" Col. Mccormick said,
"while a military despot can excom-
mlInicate you from the industrial
world without trial, forbid all men to
deal with you and deny you any right
to compete for public contracts?
DO you want to be secure in your
no Uses, papers and effects against un-
rea sonable searches and seizures? The
N. r. A. and the A. A. A. demand
the right to send their G. P. U. agents
to pry into your most intimate az
fat-s."
Right to Trial VIII Disappear.
The newspaper man said the press
haG not only held its own freedom by
an "epochal battle" but bad "reft
the power to license business" from
the Government. Radio stations, how
ever, Mccormick said, are subject to
"autocratic" rule by. political .ap-
pointees.
The publisher found fault with the
creation of Trial and Compliance
Bosrd with judicial functions.
"The tyranny laws" he said, "pro-
vide that sections termed criminal by
fiat of illegal code authorities or
'pre sidential ukases' may be tried by
q Judge without jury under the
pre-ense of an injunction. If this
subterfuge can be sustained in one
case it can be sustained in every
case, and the right to trial by jury
will disappear.

In concluding and forming the final

the enormity of the expenditures, the

Wall Street Tie-Up
1t can very clearly be seen that

of S35, 900 100000 which Roosevelt en-
visages for 1885 is a result of the
tremendous government support that
Roosevelt has given to Wall Street

but the process whereby the capital

Here is the present position of
the national debt"-the Roosevelt
government, which is too poor to
3r0vide adequate relief and unem-
sloyment insurance for the jobless,
Bumps billions into the banks, rail-
'oads etc. This runs III a deficit
f 100000, 600. The Roosevelt gov
2rnment then goes to the very
anne Wall Street interests whom
t has been feeding with billions ir
interest payments, subsidies, etc, tC
sorrow funds to give still more sub
idies to banks, etc. And this still

State, then, we see it acting as the
executive committee of the capital
ist class" MARX, as its financial
agent and executor.
AS the crisis deepens, and the
profits and investments Of Wall St
are endangered, the Roosevelt gov
eminent increases its subsidies to
Wall St. monopoly capital.
But to be able to do this, 1t is
forced to borrow from the Wall st.
banks, whose investments it is pro-
tecting!
And thus, the grip Of Wall Street

A capital levy that will Immediately
take big slice out of the Morgan
Rockefeller industrial and bank sur
pluses, that will slash deeply into all
accumulated reserves of rich cor

works.
The Roosevelt budget proves that
Roosevelt knows that he can raise
huge sums of money very quickly
when it is question of financing war
and Wall Street.
We've got to force him and his
Government to raise these billions
for the working class, to feed the
jobless workers and their families, to
provide shelter, and insurance against
need and suffering of the crisis.
The capitalist class is responsible
for the crisis. The working class
must organize to make the Roose~

agent, pay for the crisis and pro-

The whole tax program Of the
Roosevelt government is designed to
wrest taxes from the poorest sections
of the population.
The working class fight against the
Roosevelt Wall Street budget must
take the following form;
Instead of billions for the Navy,
for banks, for railroads, trust COM
panies, etc the workers must demand
that the Roosevelt government pro-
vide these billions for immediate re-
lief of the jobless, and for the i'm

elected by the jobless themselves.

Journals Fake
In the so-called expose" of racke-
teering, especially of the back, .
the New York Evening Journal took
the greatest care to whitewash Mr..
Rockefeller Of all knowledge Of what
was going on under his very nose.
On Jan. 6, the Journal declared:
Millions were poured into the
Rockefeller Center that it might rise
majeSticalIy to the skies. The mil
lions were spent by financiers who
could afford it.
Little did these men think that
union w0rkingmen, swarming like
bees over the fast growing towers,
also were pouring out money. Not
money that they could afford, not
money that was to help in one of
the most dazzling projects of mod
ern times"
Mr.. John d. Rockefeller, not only
knew Of the "Nck-back racket, but
he was fully advised that the method
originated at the Rockefeller Center
Knows His Wage-cutting
But Mr.. Rockefeller also knew that
was one of the methods used TO lower
wages. He was fully cognizar1t of the
fact that he himself, as every other
capitalist builder, profited from this
grating system. 1t helped lower the
cost of the contract, making the
workers pay for the lowered cost by
the "kick-back' instead Of the more
roundabout method of revising the
wage agreement.
BY this means, Rockefeller profited.
The contractors profited, the union Of
ficials profited Only the worker
paid. That accounts for the dead
silence of Mr.. John D. Rockefeller
Now Mr.. Hearst becomes voluble
against racketeering. He sheds croco-
ollie tears about murdered workers,
about workers who have been bled
by union officials and small con-
tractors.
| Before dealing with the real facts
Of racketeering, many of which the
New York journal deliberately hides
we want to recall to the workers a
few interesting sidelights on the
origin Of labor racketeering.

THIS growing national debt load,
naturally leads to crisis in the
Government finances. The process
Of paying the enormous debt pay
ments can only be solved by wringing
the payments from the masses in
taxes. Soon a point is reached where
the process of direct taxation must
be supplemented by other methods of
financing the Governments expendi-
lures. And then Che spectre of inila-
ton begins to appear-the creation
of deprecated currency which the
government can issue without worry
ing about its backing or security.
And this will mean wholesale rob-
berry of the masses through sharp in
direct slashes in the real buying
power of the masses. 1t will mean
working class suffering such as this
country has not yet seen.
Roosevelt's budget is thus part OF
his whole program of the capitalist
way out of the crisis-placing the
load of the crisis on the backs of the
masses.
Taxes on Working Glass
IN his call for raising new funds to
Z protect Wall Street, Roosevelt was
very careful to avoid mentioning sur
taxes on large incomes. He protects
these incomes
