What the ''NeiU DEAF Has Given
the Workers

The suffering masses have been told to look to
Washington for their salvation Mr. Roosevelt and his
New Deal have been decked out with the rainbow
promises of returning prosperity But the bitter truth
is rapidly being learned that Roosevelt and his New
Deal represent the Wall Street bankers and big cor
porations-finance capital-just the same as Hoover
before him. but carrying out fiercer attacks
against the living standards of the masses of the
people. Under Roosevelt and the New DEAF policies,
the Public Treasury has been turned into a huge
trough where the big capitalists eat their fill. Over
ten billion dollars has been handed out to the banks
and corporations billions squeezed out of the workers
and farmers by initiation and by all sorts of new taxes
upon the masses. Under the Roosevelt regime the
main burden of taxation has been shifted away from
the big capitalists onto the impoverished masses
The N. R. A. and the industrial codes have served
further to enrich the capitalists by establishing fixed
monopoly prices speeding up classification, and
squeezing out the smaller capitalists and independent
producers
The labor provisions of the n R. A., which were
hailed by the A. f. of L. and Socialist leaders as "a
charter for labor" have turned out in reality to
be chains for labor. The fixing of the so-caed
minimum wage, at below starvation levels has turned
out in reality to be big effort to drive the maximum
wage down to this point The socalled guarantee of
the right to organize and collective bargaining has
turned out in reality to be the establishment of the
company unions. The last remaining rights of the
workers they now propose to take away by establish
ing compulsory arbitration under the Wagner Bill
camouflaged attempt to guarantee workers
rights.
All these domestic policies are openly recognized
identical in their content with the measures pro-
esed fascist This rapid movement toward Fas-
csm in the United States sharpen.

NEW YORK, April with ham

two bright red flags swapping in

ing of the first Soviet ship, kim"
since 1917.
The ship, which left Odessa %
days ago, locked at the Bush Ter

tons of general merchandise. 1t
will remain in New York two weeks
before embarking for Odessa.
A delegation from the Unem-

Longshoremen Association well
coined the arrival of the kim"
The Kim" is one of many ships
which display the tremendous in
-dustrial progress that went on dur
ing the first Five-Year Plan, hav-
ing been built in 1882. The re-
markable comforts for the crew are
a feature of the ship. Capt. August
Upnal, in a speech, said he was
glad to have brought this ship to
America and that, This won't be
the last; but more and more will
come, showing the progress of So
Wet industry. This will help to bind
more firmly the friendly relation
ship existing between America and
the Soviet Union"

DETROIT, April 2.-Openly fout-

Matthew Smith, General Secretary
of the Mechanics Educational So
ciety, took another big step forward
in his sabotage of united action of
all automobile workers when at a
meeting of the district executive of

refused admission to a delegation
from the Auto Workers Union and
prevented the question of united ac-

floor.
This was done despite the fact
that the district executive meeting
last Monday had decided to take up
at the Friday nights meeting a pro-
posal for a mass meeting to be
called jointly by A.WU., MESA.

They came from 43 of the 48 states

shops and factories, in the mines
and countryside, among the Ne
groes and foreign-born workers
among all sections of Americas
toilers, unemployed and oppressed.
Final arrangements for the hous-

towards which workers of the en-
tire country have contributed from
their own scarce funds, are being
made by the workers of Cleveland.

New Deal" Means
$S3,213,OOO. Profit
For General Motors
Budd Auto Workers Get
Steep Pay Slashes
Under NRA

NEW YORK.-Reflecting on the
enormous increase in the efficiency
of extracting profits from labor I'M
der the Roosevelt New Deal" the
Morgan controlled General Motors
Corporation today reported a profit
rise since last March $50 times as
great as last year an on increase
in gross business amounting to only
about Is per cent, according to Al
fred P. Sloan Jr., president of the
corporation.
The company reported profits of
1888, 213,00O for 1888, compared with
profits of s164,979 in 1882.
After reporting such huge profit
increases, Sloan declared t h a t
there appeared indications of i'm
provement throughout the world"
The wages of auto workers have
been cut, and the intensity of their
exploitation has been increased by
the Roosevelt price-raising program
and the MIRA. codes. The MIRA.
codes have permitted the Wall
Street auto monopolies like General
Motors to increase production far
beyond any increase in employment,
the increase in total auto produc-
ton being more than three times
the increase in auto employment.
Despite the large increase in pro-
duction, goodly portion of which
is accounted for by the manufac-
ture of trucks for military purposes,
as well as stocking up in anticipa-
ton of price advances, actual retail
sales have Jagged behind produc-
ton, with foreign markets not pro-
yiding the expected buying power.

those fired, or to guarantee the con-

CHICAGO, April MASS
action of thousands of former
G. w. A. workers on the Palos
Park project, now under
work relief" forced the Illinois
Emergency Relief Administration to
grant twice as many hours of work
on the jobs and the continuation
of the right as on the CW.A. to
make up time lost through sick
ness or bad weather, and free truck
transportation.
Three thousand workers milled
around the assembly place at
O'Clock this morning, determined not
to work if their demands for in
creased hours and other conditions
were not met They refused to get
into the trucks until their elected
committee was finally given a let
ter signed by Edward j. Blair and
M. H. hickman of the Illinois Emer-
gency Relief Commission, guaran-
teeing "a hours work a week at go
cents an hour. These hours of work
replaced the proposed 12-hour week.
The workers would have won
greater demands, but their commit
tee was misled into accepting the
promises of the relief officials.
The job march through the Loop
here Saturday is seen as having
fastened the granting of the con-
cessionS.
That the victory will be short
lived unless the workers retain a
militant rank and file organization
with a committee directly respon-
sible to them can be seen from the
last sentence of Blair's letter in
which he states: st am further adj
Vised by relief officials that efforts
will be made to determine the
budget needs of each worker so that
either direct relief [grocery orders
Ed or work relief, whichever best
fits such budget needs, may be pro-
vided." ?
Alexander Guss, organizer of the
Cook County Unemployment Coun-
ellis, pointed out that the victory of
the Palos Park workers is further
proof that by organizing for mill
tant action relief workers can force
concessions from the authorities.
THE letter which states each
man will work three eight-hour
days each week at the rate of so
cents an hour, as compared with
the original assignment of 48 hours
a month, is partial victory" A.
Guss said. This victory was won
as the result Of struggle and united
action on March 81.
Demand S0-HOur Week
"Now we must organize on the
jobs TO demand 30-hour week as
promised by the Roosevelt admin
istration. We must demand union
wages on our jobs and the right to
organize.
I'VE must demand pay each week
on the job instead of every two
weeks by mail as proposed by Mr..
Blair" concluded Guss.

CLEVELAND, April 2.-In historic docu
ment addressed to the entire tOiling population
Of the United States the Communist Party in the

which opens here tonight, calls upon the work
ing class to take the road of class struggle for
the defeating of the RoOsevelt-Wall Street ''New
Deal" The Manifesto follows:
WORKERS OF THE UNITED STATES:
The crisis of the capitalist system is becoming
and more catastrophe for the workers and toll
ing masses. Growing millions of the exploited popu-
ation faced with increased difficulties in finding
the barest means of livelihood. Unemployment relief
is being drastcally cut and in many cases abolished
altogether. Real wages are being reduced further
every month"; and labor is being speeded up to in
human degree.
The vast majority of the poor farmers are slowly
but surely being squeezed off the land and thrown
to the free' labor market to compete with the work
The oppressed Negro people are loaded down with
the heaviest economic burdens, especially of
ployment, denied even the crumbs of relief given to
the starving white Masses and further subjected to
bestial lynch law and Jm-Crowism. Women workers
and housewives especially sufferers from the crisis
and from the fascist movements to drive them out of
industry Millions of young workers thrown upon
the streets by the closing of schools and smutane-
ously denied any chance to earn their living in
the industries.

preparations, have filed an applica-

This request was made by the
