real instruments of struggle for
better conditions and for defeating
company union. We Communists
do not deny this.
But we emphasize that the at
tacks Of the Chamber of Commerce
are directed against the entire
labor movement = against every
struggle of the labOring class and,
therefore, are of concern to every
one.
Serious Danger
"The sharpened attacks, both To-
cally and nationally, against the
trade unions and the entire labor
movement, creates a very critical
situation if not answered by q pow
erful effort of the working class.
The whole trade union movement
and every working-clss organiza-
ton is in the most serious danger.
I'VE Communists greet the action
Of the Cleveland Federation of La
Dor at its last meeting in calling
for the repeal of the Ohio Criminal
Syndicalist Law. We greet the
militant action of the auto workers
locals affiliated to the A. F. of L.
who have correctly decided upon
mass organization drive into the
unions and for fighting interna-
tional of auto workers within the
A. F. of L. We greet the steadily
increasing number of labor unions
supporting the Workers Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill, H. r. 1927 in
the National Congress and H. B.
1876 in the Ohio Legislature.
I'VE urge your favorable action
on these points as in the interests
of all workers, unions and their or
ganization. The Specter of Fascism
already teaches us that these people
declare war not only upon Commu-
nists but upon Socialists trade
unionists and all militant workers.
Now is the time to forge powerful
joint action of labor.
I'VE are ready to cooperate with
everybody" the statement con-
cludes, no matter what political
opinion they may have, who place
one question uppermost-how to
strengthen trade unions and destroy
the company unions; how to make
the unions powerful fighting organs
for improving conditions; how to
defeat the activities of the Cham
Der of Commerce and its Secret
Seven and all of it's anti-labor
legislation.
I'VE stand ready to confer with
you or any authorized representa-
tives, to further elaborate our posi-
ton and to work out the ways and
means of establishing in Cleveland
one solid front of labor against the
Chamber of Commerce"

Hit Sales Tax

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Feb. n. -
A mass meeting to protest against
the sales tax proposals. of Governor
Earle will be held here tomorrow
night at 3 O'Clock at Brotherly Love
Hall, 5157 Master Street. Scores of
neighborhood meetings are being
projected by the Unemployment
Councils here together with other

These mass meetings will culmi-
note in mass conference on the
Workers Unemployment, Old Acc
and Social Insurance Bill. H. R.
1927. The conference will be held
Sunday, March %, at 2 p. M, at
507 North Forty-1rst Street.
Governor Earle's tax proposals,
which are the prelude to introduce
ton of sweeping sales taxes, call
for tax upon gasoline, cigars and
cigarettes, amusements and electric
current. A shift in the real estate
tax which he asked in his message

gressmen whom the A. F. of L, Of
flcialdom supported and endorsed
turned their backs on organized Ia
Dor and on labor in general and are
now in line with the Roosevelt wage
cutting policies.
Struggle Must Continue
1t is true that some Senators,
afraid to lose votes, have come out
against the Roosevelt bill. Senator
Wagner of New York City, for that
same reason, opposed the admins
tration proposal, but he would not
say that Roosevelt, his best friend
and saint, is the instigator of the
wage slashing proposal. Senator
Wagner knew that Roosevelt was
going to veto the bill if adooted
with the amendment calling fo-
the prevailing scale of union wages.
Workers in the trade unions and
in the unemployed organizations
must continue sending protest tele-
grams and letters to Roosevelt and
to their Senators and congressman
demanding that the $4,000, 900, 900 be
appropriated Immediately and that
jobs be secured for the unemployed
at the prevailing scale of union
wages. The workers must also de-
mand the earnings on all relief
Jobs must be no less than 500
month for skilled workers and at
least $50 for unSkilled. Demonstra-
lions and meetings should be ar
ranged before the Offices of the re-
lief administration and force them
to act Immediately.
The New York A. F. of L. Trade
Union Committee for Unemploy-
ment Insurance and Relief is call
ing upon all workers TO come to
the mass meeting, to be held on
Saturday. March 2, at Irving Plaza
Hall, Irving Place and 18th Street,
New York City, to protest against
the administration proposal, and
to demand that prevailing scale
of union wages be paid to all
workers on relief jobs, Organized
labor must join its forces to de-
feat this wage cutting proposal of
the administration.

BY Louis Weinstock

Secretary, ALL. Trade Union Com
mittee for Unemployment Insurance
The $4,800,000,000 Works Relief
program proposed by the admins
tration was adopted by the U. S.
Senate with an amendment for the
prevailing scale wages by "A to 40
votes.
The adoption of this bill was a
defeat for the administration. The
original proposal by Mr.. Roosevelt
provided for $50 maximum month
ly wage for 1870 hours of work for
all relief workers; in other words,
38 cent hourly wage scale for all
building trades workers in the u. S.
When the bill came up before Con-
gress, through gag rule the amend
ment calling for prevailing scale
OF wages was defeated.
The clause providing for the pre-
vailing scale OF wages was included
in the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee, but after an appeal to the
senators by Mr.. Roosevelt, the
amendment was reconsidered and
taken out of the bill. Then it came
up before the Senate where the pre-
vailing scale of wages was included
in the bill and adopted.
Mr.. Roosevelt, however, indicated,
that irrespective of the action of
the Senate, if the prevailing scale
of wages is included, he will veto
the bill. To save Mr.. Roosevelt fur
Their embarrassment, after the bill
was passed in the Senate, motion
was made to turn the bill over to
the Senate Appropriations Commit
tee for reformations.
Not What Workers Demand
While the Senate defeated the
open wage slashing proposal of
Roosevelt to place maximum relief
wages at $50, they did not pass the
scale demanded by the workers.
They passed an amendment to
Roosevelt's bill for the prevailing"
wage scale. This prevailing" wage
is not necessarily the union wage,
and in the south, for example, is
far below union wages. The work
ers demand that Congress so amend
the bill as to provide the prevailing

SPARTANBURG, S. c., Feb. 27.-
Walter S. Montgomery, President Of
