Beginning, appropriately enough, with
May First, the international Labor Day,
when thousands of New York trade union
lists will be marching through New York
streets for shorter hours higher wages and for
Socialist society, the Daily Worker will issue
special New York Trade Union Supplement. the
first of the regular weekly trade union supplements
This supplement WILL in a great measure,
swer the questions before the hundreds of thousands
of trade unionists in New York City, including
those in the American Federation of Labor unions
and independent unions, as well those in the
revolutionary trade unions.
The struggle for unemployment insurance -
which today means first of all a struggle for the
passage of H R. $685. the Workers Unemployment
Insurance Bill now before the House Committee on
Labor-wi be reflected in these pages The strug-
gle against the rscketeering American Federation

International Ladies Garment Workers Union and

detailed guidance not possible in the limits of the
regular six pages of our paper.
The organization of the Negro workers into
the trade uions, the organization of the morgan
lied workers in transportation and public utilities
the fight against company unionsm will be
featured in the N. Y. Trade Union Supplement.
Besides the above, the Trade Union Supplement
will carry material inner union questions reg
ular exposes of strike-breaking and gyp agencies
that prey on the body of New York labor
The revolutionary trade unions must be the first
to guarantee the widest distribution of this sup
plement. With large sale of the supplement the
oppostons within the A. F. of L. unions will have
a most effective ally in their struggle against the
corrupt leadership.
The regular sale of the Daily Worker containing
the Trade Union Supplement will without shadow
of doubt have important effect on the struggle
of the New York workers to build powerful trace
uion organizations that lead them in successful
battles against the wage cutting, hour raising

way of returning to the old regime. :"
The proof of the matter lies in the
fact that Doumergue is ruling with
out the government, that in order
to vote the budget he Doumergue)
imposed an abnormal procedure,
then he obtained full dictatorial
powers and finally, sent the Cham
Der home for a vacation. After this
no return is possible. 1t is this
road that we helped establish.
Should any revolutionary activities
manifest themselves, we won't stand
by passively."
And so the government serves
these fascists, the fascists serve the
Steel Trust, the bankers, the in
dustrialists, and so the merry-go-
round. Mr.. Gilbert IN. E. A. Serv-
ice writer writes in the World

heading Paris Fears Revolt" that

goes on" that IF the royalist Cam

bodies should unite, the combined
forces of drilled men of military
age which could be thrown into
Paris streets is today estimated at
not less than 100000"
At one point in this article the
writer seems rather naive. In
stating the possibility of civil war,
he asks himself, "Are these troops
and police loyal?" He means by
the troops the Garde Republicaine,
the Garde Mobile and the NUM-
cipal police. Now, Mr.. Gilbert, loyal
to whom? To the government? For
that is what you imply. Is it not
fact that the government is part
and parcel of the various fascist or
CARNATIONS? Is it not a fact, Mr..
Gilbert, as you will know if you read
the Paris newspapers, that the gov
eminent including the army gen.
eral staff is helping them to arm?

of Mr.. Lafue, interviewed several

himself: -. The present govern

the Italian corporate state, but it
will be more supple, French, so to
say" Then the interviewer wishes
to know whether there is posi-
bility Of civil war in France.
The gentleman of the "Jeunesses
