faced with the job of trying to live
through the sixth winter of the
crisis, and this winter will be the
worst of them all.
Administration Proposes Nothing
For this calamity the admins
tration proposes nothing. In fact,
on Monday, Donald R. Richberg,
Roosevelt's new whip cracker, told
big business that relief this Winter
would be less than last year. In
other words, the unemployed who
are worse off than at any time dur
ing the crisis, are told to starve,
while Roosevelt goes through the
motions of drawing up social well
fare program.
But the only thing definite that
has come out of the administra-
tons ballyhoo on economic Secur-
ity is the statement by Edward j..
White, technical director of the
Committee on Economic Security,
that the employers would not be
compelled to foot the bill for the
costs of unemployment insurance.
Instead the burden is to be borne
by the employed workers, and the
unemployed will be kept on the
same kind of inadequate relief that
they receive today.
If the unemployed are to go
through this winter without the
most intense suffering, they will
have to fight for more relief to
meet the rising cost of living, and
they will have to fight for the
Workers Unemployment and Social
Insurance Bill. Now one of the
most important weapons in this
fight are workers representative in
the legislative assemblies of the
capitalists.
In municipal board Or in Con-
gress, true representative of the
working class would effectively ex-
pose the efforts of the capitalists
to deny the workers relief and I'M
employment insurance. He would
also be the sounding board of he
whole working class in every one of
its demands, and would be of great

Election of Communists
Will Be Blow to N.R,A.
Hunger Program

AS the election campaign unfolds,
it becomes obvious that the pom
ises of the Roosevelt administration
to solve the crisis, to give jobs and
restore prosperity are merely so
much demagogy.
From May of this year, there has
been steady decline in production
and business which has reduced the
index of industrial production to
the lowest point since April, 1898.
In the past five months the in
dex of the Federal Reserve. Board
dropped from 1873 to 61.9, decline
that more than wiped out the brief
rise Of last winter. The economic
data that is now available indicates
that the present low trend of bust
ness will continue The index of tine
Journal Of Commerce, last week, de-
'cined sharply from 654 to 63.5.
The indices of heavy industry
show the same stagnant tendencies.
The building industry continues to
operate at a level that is only about
% per cent of normal, despite
Roosevelt's. efforts to ballyhoo hous-
ing. The volume OF residential
housing, for example, which is the
most important factor in the build
ing industry dropped to new low
for the crisis during the first eight
months Of the year.
Steel Deliveries Drop
Another indication of the con-
tinued stagnation of business is the
great decrease in the steel deliveries
of the U. S. Steel Corporation.
These dropped from 2,373 400 tons
in the. second quarter to 1,11S,267
tons in the third quarter of the year,
a decrease of 53.8 per cent. The
output of automobiles decreased
from l66,321 units in August to 49,
316 units in September.

for five days work instead of the
present two.
Although the press has not writ
ten of it before, the PEGS miners
have gone on strike dozens of times
previously, and as each time the
fascist authorities interviewed to
guarantee the profits of the mine
owners, the miners, rather than suf-
fer slow starvation above ground,
went into the shafts intending to
stay there forever, unless they Sc
cured their demands.
The demands won by the miners
are wrapped in a great deal of red
tape, since some of the demands

other local mine owners in PEGS
have locked out $500 more miners,
and miners and their families are
furious and unwilling to go through
the routine misery of former years.

with the problems confronting it.
To us it seems absurd to carry on
a campaign of organization and
then attempt to eliminate from our
ranks those whom observation reveal
as among our most progressive and
militant members. We remember
former Red Hunts which resulted
disastrously to the American Labor
Movement, causing it to sink into
condition Of pitiful impotency.
We feel that, according to your
standards, most of our most active
members would come under the
classification red. We cannot
therefore, accede to your request
and embark on another Red Hunt
THE immediate problem con-
fronting labor is the shortening Of
the work day sufficiently to place
every unemployed worker back on
the job and to increase wages to the
point where every worker shall be
assured of at least what you call
an American standard of living. We
do not propose, therefore, to cause
dissension in our ranks by singing
out any particular group, be it lily
white, the most delicate pink or
the deepest crimson, and discrim-
mating against such group 50 long
as it works with us toward the at
tainment of the aforementioned OBJ
iects. We may add, in conclusion,
that unless the American Fedora
ton of Labor, of which you are the
Ofidal Head, formulates an imme-
date program designed to relieve
the workers of the intolerable load
lof misery they have endured these
many years. another helmsman may
soon be at the wheel,

A Woman S
Viewpoint
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALLER EhOOSON
CADIE writes that her ambition
~ is a business career.
Il have a good start" she says,
but I hear such conflicting ad-
vice I am often confused. Do you
believe a girl should make a plan
and try to stick to it?"
I most certainly do. And I
think the sort of plan she makes
depends upon whether she really
wants a career, or only thinks she
does. Many times, you know, the
quest is misunderstanding under
another name. The important
point, then, is to keep this
straight.
The first rule you set yourself
should be to keep the idea of your
career we'll fixed in mind, which
means that sex must be put into
the background. Many people
tell you otherwise because the
tradition still prevails that women
must wrap themselves about in a
garment of sex awareneSs and
that men prefer sirens in their Of
fees. With that opinion my OBJ
servation causes me to disagree.
Moreover, a good deal Of advice
about proper clothes and the way
to wear ones hair are now super
f1uouS, because the modern girl
keeps herself fit and we'll groomeo
under all conditions and because
feminineness if her natural en-
dowment. Talk about preserving
it is beside the point.
The thing to remember is this:
Women now are rounding out
several decades of service in the
business world, and should by this
time have attained a certain de-
gree of mental detachment. Able
men do not like to mix Irritation
with business. anyway. They pre-
fer girls who keep a singleness Of
purpose, an honesty of mind and
give fair return for their pay
envelopes.
Sex allure may get you into a
mans parlor, kitchen or back
street apartment but to secure a
place in his industrial world,
you've got to display sound sense
and a modicum of intelligence.
In any contest between beauty
and business, business always will
win. Business is hard-headed,
aggressive, indomitable and some
times cruel-concerned first, last
and all the time with itself. 1t
expects its disciples to be equally
devout.
So park the S. A. at home,
Sadie, during office hours. You'll
never get any overtime for it,
anyway-that is, if it's really a
career you're after.
