Noticing this crude application Of
the Roosevelt middle of -the-road"
demagogy which has covered up
ruthless attacks upon labor, I asked
Curran what he thought of the
Roosevelt administration.
Against Roosevelt" he said. But
not because of the effect of his
program upon the working class,
but because he hasn't provided
enough initiation! Curran COM
planned, Roosevelt hasn't played
fair. He left the bankers in control
of our currency. If he doesn't
take them out, he'll wind up the
same as Hoover"

Where do you stand on unem-

Il don't know anything about it.
I don't know whether it's ever been
tried-that is, 1 understand it's a
success in Belgium, and, if so, it
could be easily copied"
1 asked him whether, since he
thought there we're no Communists
in America. he thought there were
no Fascists either.
"Oh, there are some frightened
financiers-" He caught himself
and began to thump the arm of his
chair. But they just think they're
Fascists. I don't think they are"
Typical Fascist Tool
Here spoke the typical tool of
Fascism, the would-be mass leader,
boasting influential connections,
ranting against bankers while
promoting a banker-class program,
and denying the need to defend the
rights for which millions of work
ers have picketed and faced bullets
in the past year! Denying also the
Fascist aspect of the financiers'
militant drive toward reaction.

Fascist army plan put up to Cen

The Richmond Hosiery Mill, Daisy

The American Federation of
Hosiery Workers, conducting the

pany, has issued statement yes
terday charging that attorneys of
the Richmond Hosiery Company
are attempting to file suit against
the union, charging that its strike
is conspiracy to deprive the COM

The suit it is expected, will rank
with the famous Danbury Hatters
case, when the union was forced to
pay damages.

Fascist Groups Seek To EnsnGre Veterans,
Daily Interview With Curran Reveals

from the General about the thing
I later checked this with General
Butler - at least, that Butler had
told Curran that the Wall Street
bond salesman, Gerald G. MacGuire
and Morgan-broker Grayson NJ.
P. Murphy wanted Butler to make
a monetary speech for them at an
American Legion convention. Still
Curran said he saw no Fascist
threat. Then I pointed out to him
the similarity between his and Mr..
Vanderlip's Central Bank proposal,
and suggested it seemed queer.
Well he said, turning around
in his swivel chair, there's two
kinds Of bsnkers-and I'm not op-
posed to the liberal kind, like Mr..

I've communicated with him.

municate with himP"
oh, a few times" He looked
wary Don't you know" I finally
asked, that imitation such as YOU
are proposing on behalf OF the
masses can only hurt these

He got up, silent.
Are you not going to answer
this?" persisted
Listen, if I've got a house, I can't
sell it for a dime today. I've got to
get something for i'll" he exclaimed
with some irritation.
But you must know that the mil
lions Of the working class have no
houses. Even those who have jobs
would get less to eat and wear with
your initiation program in opera

He stepped over to his costumer,
put on his coat and said, calmly
patting his belly, well, there's about
hundred million paupers in this
country today, and thereIl be a lot
more if they don't give us more
money"
The question I asked you is
whether you don't know that this
initiation program would mean more
mass suffering"
Yes" he said. Then, No, no, it
wouldn't make prices go up a damn
bit"
you Gotta Read Everything"
AS I walked by his office table,
saw a copy of The New Masses.
asked DR.. Curran why he he read it.
He replied that he Occasionally gets
a good idea from financial article
in it,"
But you certainly don't get any
financial ideas that would suggest
that the people of this country
would be helped by inflation"
He put on his hat and spoke with
some finality.
Listen, Lady, in times like these,
you've gotta read everything, and
that's what do. In times like
these you've got to keep your eyes

Afraid OF OLD Guard?

AIralG Oh Ola Guard!
How then explain that Paul Ras-
mussen, Socialist, member of the
state executive of the Illinois Work
ers Alliance, refused to sign the So
cialist resolution, because, although
he agreed with it in general, he dis
agreed with the last sentence. But
the last sentence Is only general
ization of the call for the Congress.
1t is only an emphatic repetition of
the foregoing parts of the resolution.
Why did Ramuseen refuse to sign?
Is it because the "old guard" controls
Ilinois-and the young fellows, fol-
lowing the manner of Thomas, do
not dare to defy their "old guard"
leaders? In the other states they do
defy them because they are fighting
for 2 principle working class
principle.

nists in the localities where they

 He said his wife had told him Ion numerous occasions" that the child was subject to fits "and ] had gone to the doctor on numer- ous occasions believing this to be so.
 "The investigation and facts that have been brought out thorough. ly convince me that these state ments of Mrs. Schueler were un' true," he said.
 Mrs. Schueler, held for superior court on a charge of murder, va! held without bond in county jai at Bridgeport. A grand jury was ex pected to be summoned Sept l7 to hear the evidence.
