Gloom

Shadows hover Ger my soul,
Haunt it like a ghost or ghoul;
Take possession of it, in
The darkness.
They fleet at every touch of sun
light,
Before the sunlight's greater
might,
And then again does gloom per-
vading,
Wrap my soul at sunlight's
leaving.
But all this anon and alas, oh, my!
Boils down to who am l,
When millions more this fact de-
plore,
To write an ode because I'm
sore?

Secrecy Part
Of Gold Bill
Defeats Amendments /;
40 Per Cent Wage
Gut" Senator Says
BY MARGUERITE YOUNG
DAILY Worker Washington Bureau)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The Sen
ate neared passage of the Roosevelt
initiation bill today as the Democrats
supported by the one Fa-mer-La-
borite and the Republican Progress
sives-defeated the most important
amendment proposed.
BY vote of 81 to SO, the Senate
rejected an amendment that would
have placed control Of the proposed
1000, 100000 sterilization fund in a
board of five instead of solely in the
hands of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury.
Action followed debate in which the
Democrats unb.ushingly proclaimed
the trade-war purpose of the meas
ure as well as its other chief object
to increase prices and thereby boost
the cost of living in the United States
This was the Administrations answer
to a concerted attack by Republicans
The latter poured out bleeding heart
protests against the effect the bill
will have upon the middle classes and
the working people because the facts
Of this matter are handy political
weapons at this point.
Although the real bone in the Re
publican craw is that the bill will
also temporarily penalize certain
creditors, as securities and big bond
holders, the assault served to bring
out that, as Senator Reed of Pennsyl-
vania put it, this bill is a 40 per
cent wage cut
Silver Initiation
The silver coinage issue came into
the debate also, Senator Wheeler

amendment proposing to add to the
already tremendous inflationary pro-
visions another to provide that the

The Minneapolis City Council, by a
vote of thirteen to eight, yesterday

ers who packed the chambers of the
Council.
The endorsement will be brought
to the National Convention Against
Unemployment to be held in Wash
ington, D. c., on Feb. 3, and S,
by the Minneapolis delegation and
will be presented to the Roosevelt
government when the workers dele
gates put forth their demands on
Feb. 5th.
Follows Similar Actions
This endorsement, the result of an
intense campaign carried on ~ the
Unemployed Councils, follows similar
actions taken in Tacoma, Wash, Mil
waukee, West Allis, Wise, Bedford,
Ohio, and Buffalo, N. Y.
Unemployed Councils, the Com
munist Party, the Young Commu-
mist League, and all other working
class organizations should carry on
a campaign for the endorsement of
the Workers Unemployment Insur-
ance Bill by city and state govern
mental bodies. The federal govern
ment must be forced to pass the
workers bill. Various bills are be-
ing proposed in state legislatures.
These only serve to separate the
fight into 48 different struggles, none
of which adequately insure the
workers against unemployment.
Every demonstration that will be
held in the cities Of the United
States on Feb. 5th, must demand
from the city officials the endorse
ment of the Workers Unemployment
Insurance Bill.

sharp Fight for

at Mine Contention
By DAN DAVIS

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Jan. 26.-
Today's session OF the u. M. w. A.
Contention was thrown into a
heated discussion when John F.
Sloan, young militant delegate of
Local 5509, Westville, Ill, urged
the miners to endorse a resolution
calling for enactment of the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill.
Lewis, chairman Ct the session,
paced the f1ooc as Sloan spoke and
held hurried consultations with
Phillip Murray, International Vice
President. The Lewis machine pro-
ceeded then to introduce a substi-
tute bill which would discriminate
against the Negro workers and
youth and which would give in
surance for period of only Is
weeks of the year.
