At the testimonial dinner to
Detective Jack Leary at the
Ellxs' club last night, the pro-
ceedings were interrupted long
enough for the gathering to
listen to the Baer.Braddock
fight come over the air.
Speaking of testimonials,
there's a treat I'm store for
those who attend the one for
Joe Shanahan at Guertin's, ON
the Cheshire road, tomorrow
night. None other than
John "Stubby" Shea will act

lowing as a result of his

ton programs; Of the Unemployment OF millions;
of industry absorbing more millions" Il stand or
fall by the idea that unemployment be elimin-
ated" said Roosevelt on June 26-but still the num-
Der Of unemployed grows!
Unemployment insurance" but not for the
100000 unemployed Unemployment insurance"
but nothing for the millions who never again will
labor at the bench; nothing for the aged; nothing
for the hundreds of thousands in industry who
speeded up like mad and fall the victim of indus
trial disease and accident. Nothing for the work
ing class mothers who toll at the machine - and
have to bear their children in misery. "Unem-
ployment insurance" but only when the state egs-
latmes enact it and then after wait of no less
than two years.
This is the bIHff-the sham. This is the promise"
while families go hungry and profits soar! This is
the promise" while workers who fight for a piece
Of bread shot down in cold blood This is the
promise" while boys and girls turned into
criminals in the search OF a crust!
Waited Long Enough
We workers declare we have waited long enough
Promises mean nothing to the army Of unemployed
The government makes Of us separate caste and
will press us into FORCED LABOR camps-camps
like in Fascist Italy, in Nazi Germany.
We workers have learned that promises mean
action only when the workers force action. The
time has come for action. Millions face the same
problem. Millions recognize the solution. Mil
lions today maintain that it should be the func-
ton Of government to provide for the welfare of
the people = the workers and farmers, who face
restitution. No greater obligation the Federal
Government haye-an obligation that we workers
must compel it to fulfill.
Unemployment and social insurance-the Work

2S27-this is the fulfilment OF this obligation This
obligation the full support of the National Congress

No victory can be won without struggle The
government and the capitalists are determined that
the millions Of unemployed shall have no part in
social insurance. We are to remain the objects of
charity and OF forced labor We are to be reduced

The Lines Are Drawn

Fellow workers:
The lines are drawn: Either united struggle of
those who produce against those who today control
we 80 down together. The bosses do not want
to unite, for our unity would break them. Their
agents in the working class do not want us to
unite, for that would smash their control The unity
Of the unemplOyed-the organization of the
ganized unempiOyed-the unity of white and Ne
gro, of native and foreign bOrn-of employed and
unemployed, Of workers and farmers-this Is the
burning need
BY lies and ISLANDERS and by Misrepresentation
we are kept apart suspicious of one another fight
ing one another-strengthenin the hand of our
enemies. William Green, Matthew Vol, John L.
Lewis, James Onesl, Norman Thomas, A. j. Music
VIM Truax, Father Coughlin Upton Sinclair
Franklin D. Roosevelt, VIM. R. Hearst-use different
means-but keep us from uniting our ranks
Fellow workers:
We unemployed have all one interest-no, mat
ter in what organization we may be. Our joint in
terest it is to organize the numbers Of unem-
poyed. Our joint interest it is to win more relief
union conditions jobs, to defeat forced labor
whether it be in transient or CCC. camps or on
subsistence homesteads. Our joint interest it is
to win the Workers Unemployment and Social In
surance Bill. Our Joint interest it is with united
ranks to fight for our daily needs and out Of this
unity to forge united organization of the unen-
pOyed.
Who stands in the way? Who keeps us apart?
Ask your leaders: your local. your county your
state your national leaders. YOU want unity
WE all want unity Whoever says mo" plays the
game Of the bosses.
We unemployed workers, in the midst of the
sixth year Of the crisis, with conditions star
ing us in the face, declare that we will fight for
unity.
This is our basic need Without it we cannot
succeed, but will sink into worse misery With it
we go forth to victory.
Forward to one powerful united unemployed or
ganization, with a militant policy with fighting
leadership, to unity OF employed and unemployed
to victory in the struggle for the Workers Bill!

We produce the wealth-but we go hungry. We

All the clothes and shoes, bat walk In tatters.
What is the cause of the crisis, which now is
in its sixth year and has dragged the millions down
into misery? The system is controlled by the own
ers who allow us to work only so long as they can
make profit Our wages are so low that we cannot
consume what we produce. The employers cannot
dispose OF the tremendous products we turn out.
When the markets fail, they close down their plants
and turn us into the streets.
For six years, this crisis has ragged throughout
the capitalist world For six years. tens of millions
have faced starvation. The crisis continues 1t

duStrial, white collar, professional workers-the
teacher, the artist the scientist as well as the
worker and the farmer.
Capitalist Greed
Greedy for markets the capitalists plunge into

FELLOW WORKERS:

A WINTER of bitter want and struggle faces us.
n Sixteen millions of our brothers and sisters and
their families unemployed. Hundreds OF thou
sands are being added to the list of the jobless
every month, Whether are white or Negro,
native or foreign-born, the sword of hunger cuts
into the marrow OF our bones.
Our boys and girls grow up without hope OF
work Our children famish before our very eyes.
Food is in plenty but we cannot buy it. Clothing
is in abundance, but we must go without it. Com
Portable homes stand empty, but we must huddle
together in dirty tenements.
Facing the cold of winter, four millions of our
brothers have been removed from the federal relief
rolls by order of Roosevelt. The so-called "unem-
ployables"-the sick, infirm, cripples and widowed
in the midst of winter are pitlessy handed over to
the mercy of hunger Roosevelt has decreed that
all workers needing relief shall be compelled to
work Not work for decent wages-but work at
relief roll budgets. Single men are sent by the tens
of thousands to transient camps. If they refuse,
they go to Jail as Migrants. million workers

called subsistence homesteads, where they will be

While workers families stsrve while relief is being

Police Shoot 3
In Minneapolis
Garage Strike

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. Jan. g.
Three striking garage mechanics
were shot by police and deputized
thugs this morning when they at
tempted to call out strikebreakers
working at the Mcdonald Gilfilhan
Ford Garage here. Two were shot
in the leg, while one was hit on
the chin. The police fired under
instructions Of Chief Johannes, who
directed the massacre Of truck driv-
ers last July.
Following the shooting the entire
strike committee of the striking
mechanics has decided to go in a
body to the Central Labor Union to-
night to demand support.
The Unemployment Council. which
arranged for demonstration be-
fore the City Council meeting Fri
day morning against the 10 per cent
cut for ERA, workers and a cut
In direct relief, will go tonight be-
fore the union to urge joint dem
onstration to include demands for
the removal Of Chief Johannes and
Mayor cambridge, and for the re-
lease of Is workers arrested in the
strike, to be tried Monday.
Twenty-Five hundred automobile
mechanics who came out on strike
last Friday remain out, tying up
most of the repair Shons in the
city. In an interview with the
Daily Worker correspondent, Huss-
man, business agent of the Inter
national Association Of Machinists,
stated that he is in favor Of ac-
cepting the offer Of the Minneapolis
employers to arbitrate, but not
unless st. Paul garage owners ac-
cent arbitration as we'll.
Hussman stated that the tieup
in st. Paul is more complete than
in Minneapolis. Forty five shops
there have already signed an
agreement to pay the scale of 9Oc
per hour minimum to mechanics
and IS cents per hour for runners
gressers, simonizers and washers.
At meetings Of strikers in both
cities, rank and file members have
made demands that the two local
unions appeal to the trade union
movement and to the unemployed
to assist the strikers in the pick
citing.

Later on he said:

Coughlin repeatedly tried to i'm
press on his audience the distinc-
ton between international Social
ism, which he identified with Com
munism, and modern American So
cialism as represented by the So
cialist Party. THE American So
cialists have nothing to do with
Communists. Modern American
Socialism under Norman Thomas
would be better than Capitalism,
under Hoover and the rest of them"
Coughlin also cited with great
approval President Roosevelt's mes
sage to Congress and declared that
Roosevelt was practically adopting
his program, even using the phrase
Social Justice"
Plans Tour
The priest revealed that in few
weeks he will start a nationwide
speaking tour. He repeated the
claim made in his radio speech
Sunday that his goal of five million
members in the National Union for
Social Justice had already been
achieved and that now he was after
ten million. He announced that
next Tuesday he would be in Wash
ington; he did not, however, tell
his audience why. He did not men,

Jan. Is, Senator Thomas of Okla

spokesman in Congress, has called

Coughlin began his speech with
few mild words about Hitlerism and

he made was that Fascism forgot
about the international bankers,

also introduced an anti-Semitic note
