WOOL MARKET GAINS
BETTER TONE IN WEEK

States Department of Agriculture) -
The increased number of wool buy
ers who have called on various wool
houses has given the Boston market
a little better tone this week, de-
spite the fact that few of the in
quiries have resulted in sales. Bids
were made more frequently than for
many weeks. Even though most bids
were below acceptable prices, the
offers created the impression in the
trade that mills were making prepara-
tions to buy wool. Sales of odds and
ends and inferior wool comprised the
bulk of the sales of greasy woods.

% R).-Commodity prices turned
downward sharply during the fourth
week in September. The decline was
general, as a check-up on IA individual
groups shows nine decreases, while
five remain unchanged. For the first
time in over a year not single in
crease was recorded.
Industrial prices continued the
downward trend that first started in
July, representing the lowest level
since January. Although September
usually marks the beginning of sea-
sonal increase in industrial activity,
this year has proven an exception.
Due to natural causes the capital goods
industries have held at unusually low
levels. this being particularly true of
iron and steel and building. Lack of
confidence still characterizes the in
dustrial as well as financial picture.
Farm Prices Also Ease.
Agricultural products also lost some
ground during the week, although
prices are holding on a plane more
comparable with the industrial price
level. In January of this year the in
dustrial index was 72 and the agri-
cultural group so, differential Of IL
points. This month the industrial in
dex is again y, with the agricultural
group close to SO, or differential of
only three points. During the past
week price trends were mixed up in
this particular group, with increases
noted in corn, beans, potatoes and
haxseed which more than counter
acted the price weakness in wheat,
barley, rye, cotton, hay and butter.
Live stock prices moved downward
in alignment with industrial and
agricultural products, falling sub
stantially under the extreme peak
reached in the last week of August
During the week cattle, hcgs and
sheep prices averaged lower.
Non-ferrous metals also moved
downward during the week, reflect
ing moderate price weakness IN an
timony, lead. tin and zinc Silver
moved fractionally upward, approach
ing the 50-cent level.
Paint materials moved downward
at a pace considerably faster than
other groups and the reaction during
the week was due to three products,
namely, linseed oil, rosin and turpen-
tine.
Fine textiles represent one Of the
nine groups to average lower. the
break primarily due to spot cotton,
which has fallen well under the 13-
cent level. Cotton yarns also averaged
lower. Silk showed some disposition
to increase.
Vegetable Oils Lower.
Vegetable oil prices averaged slight
ly lower, as weakness in linseed and
China wood oil more than offset the
price recovery in corn and cocoanut
oils.
Other groups that were lower for
the week were hides and leather, as
we'll as paper and pulp.

1t is clear at a glance that this bill is directly
in the interests of the vast majority of the people
OF this country. 1t applies to every worker right
now. 1t is intended to go into effect immediately
1t is administered by the workers themselves pre-
venting the wholesale graft and waste of official
capitalist relief 1t places the burden of the crisis
on the backs of the rch the capitalists and their

For Roosevelt this is fantastic" because this will
place the burden of the crisis upon the rich But
for the millions of hungry jobess for the American
working class is Roosevets plan which is "fan-
tastic' piece of capitalist crookedness that gives
empty words where it should give bread that gives
false and rotten decisions where it should give Sc

definitely swallow his sugar-coated lies he is mis-
taken.

burdens OF the crisis and its miseres upon the
racked shoulders of the masses
With what hateful cynicsm does Roosevelt
pledge to the Wall Street banks that his plan will
not cost them one cent in increased taxes Do not
fear, gentlemen, he promises my plan will not cost
you a single dollar of reduced profits; my plan
makes the starving pay their own relief burdens;

This is not the unemployment insurance pro-

the plan they need.
What the jobless and toiling workers need is
working class program that will force the Wall

Meaning of Labor Party Plans
Of the Socialist old Guard

Roosevelt New Deal was given by
him in the Washington conference
on the H. F.. A. codes early this
Spring when he stated, as the rep
resentative Of the Socialist Party:
I'VE feel that the n. r. A. is
a distinct step forward and must
be segarded in all capdo- md
Honesty as an important branch
of social legislation"
1t is at this point that the re-
dictionary trade unicn officialdom
and the Socialist Party "OId
Guard" whatever their superficial
differences, meet-they both rep
resent the forces in the labor +.
movement which are assisting the
Roosevelt government to execute
the capitalist policies of the N. r.
Anew Deal.
To Restrain Masses
From the stated policy OF Wald-
man and the actual strikebreaking
deeds of the Germans and Reeves,
the program and platform of the
newly proposed Labor Party already
stand clear in it's basic form. 1t
will be a party for the support of
capitalism in general, and of the
Roosevelt New Deal in particular.
The arguments which these revo-
lutionary gentlemen will manufac-
ture to conceal the true meaning
Of their action will be somewhat as
follows: The American masses are
not yet politically class conscious;
the ma jority Of the advanced work
ers are in the A. F. of L.; there
fore, we cannot wait to convert
them to Socialism, but we must join
with them now through agreements
with their leaders; in this new COL
laboration I'VE will not attempt to
play the whole show" (Solomon).
The class treachery of this argu-
ment is apparent. It is to fling
overheard even the pcetense of class
struggle. 1t is to seize upon the
growing class consciousness of the
masses, not to drive this conscious
ness forward to higher. revolution
airy levels, but to sidetrack it into
support of capitalist policies under
the guise Of Labor Party 'opposi-
ton 1t is to make trade in
which the A. F. of L. leaders will
provide the masses and the Socialist
Party leaders will provide the neces-
sary left demagcgy!
The fight for mass party of
the working class can only be waged
on the principles of class struggle,
on the principles of Marxism- Lenin-
ism, Of Bolshevism.
The Communist Party has COM
mitted mistakes of sectarianism.
But it alone has fought uncom-
promisingly for the class indie
pendence of the proletariat against
any rotten compromises with capt.
talist policy. Today, the Commu-
mist Party alone represents the true
party Of the American workers
fighting in and out of the union
for a policy of class struggle fol
the day to day interests of the
masses and TO: the raising Of the
mass struggle to its highest level
the path of revolution for the over
throw of capitalism Only a policy
Of class struggle against the Roose-
welt New Deal can build truly
mass party Of the American work
ing class.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-11-16

The "Cld Guard" of the Socialist
Party is now taking active steps
toward the formation of what they
call a Labor" Party. Waldman,
Solomon. Cahan. and others of the
New York State Socialist Party have
proposed that the Socialist Party
enter into negotiations with the Of
ficials Of the various American Fed
Grafton Of Labor unions with the
view of organizing a Labor Party
for the 1886 elections.
Socialist Party workers. as well
as all other members Of the work
ing class, cannot but wonder what
IS behind this latest proposal Of the
Socialist Party leaders and what
it is leading to.
Ostensibly. this move is to create
mass party which will provide
an Opposition" party to the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties.
A mass working class political
party is a vital need. The workers
of the country need their own
party, a party that will represent
their class interests and will wage
struggle for these interests.
Not a Revolutionary Party
But it will require only a casual
examination to discover that this
Labor Party as proposed by the
socialist "old guard" can never be
this mass party of the working
class dedicated to g policy of class
struggle against the capitalists and
their system, against the Roosevelt
New Deal and it's policies in the
interests OF the Wall Street monopo-
lies.
The proposed nucleus for this
new Labor Party is to consist Of the
Socialist Party old guard" leaders
working in agreement with certain
Of the top officials of the A. F. of
L. unions. The unions particularly
singled out are the textile workers,
the needle trades, the silk and Overs
unions, and others still being dis
cussed.
This explains why Francis Cor
man, now notorious fer his treach-
erouS retreat in the textile strike.
was an honored guest at recent
Socialist Psrty symposium at the
Rand school, This explains why
the bureaucrat who heads the New
York State Federation Of Labor
was also en- honored guest at the
same occasion.
The top ohicialdom of the A. F
of L., at least certain sections OF
it that do not include the William
Green crowd who are tied hand and
foot to the regular capitalist par
ties, are feeling their way toward
a bargain with the Socialist Party
leaders. Or rather it would be more
truthful to say that the Socialist
Party leaders are feeling their way
toward a bargain with the A. F. Of
L. off1cialdom.
5. P. Losing Influence
The recent election returns made
it clear that the Socialist Party is
net making any Roadway on ma
tional scale.
The situation is such that the
American masses, in their move
towar the left are not moving int

the nature of these changes.
Democracy for Expioiters"

legalization of the Russian Socialist

Ramsay Macdonald, and the Swe-
dish s. P. leadership have proposed
the condition that the Soviet SUI

racy for the remnants of the ex-
ploiters and r-revolutionaries
