WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 10
Branding the administrations Wag-

a new insult flung in the face of
the millions of unemployed, Earl
BroWder, general secretary of the
Communist Party, today spoke for
the Workers Bill before the Senate
Finance Committee. which is con-
Quoting hearings on the Wagner

Among other trade union and I'M
employed leaders who spoke before
the committee were Herbert Benia-

tary of the National Unemployment
Councils; David Gordon, New York

frain from questioning Browder, the
trade union and the unemployed
representatives to keep the discus
sion on the Workers Bill down to
minimum without conflicting with
the democratic pretense made in
scheduling spokesman for the Com
munist Party and other working class
organizations. After the conclusion
of each address, Senator Pat Harri-
son of Mississippi, chairman of the
Committee, declared, "All right"
and called the next witness.
Following is the text of Browder's
statement to the Committed
Feb. 10, 1880
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of
the Committee.
Speaking for the Communist
Party, for the approximately 500, 600
organized workers who have en-
dorsed our program, and for the
several millions who have endorsed
our position on unemployment in
surance, l want to oppose the Bill
before this Committee which en-
bodies the Administration concep-
ton Of unemployment, old-age, and
social insurance.
Government Responsible
It is the position of the Commu-
mist Party that it is the RESPONSE
bility of the national Government to
provide, against all those vicissi-
tudes of life which are beyond in
dividual or group control, guaran-
tee of a minimum standard of de-
cent livelihood equal to the average
of the individual or group when
normally employed. This, always
vital necessity, has now, due to the
economic crisis and the protracted
depression, become literally mat
ter of life and death for millions,
and for the main bulk of the popu-
lation a basic factor for maintain
ing standards of life.
Any proposed legislative enact
ment which claims to forward this
aim Of social security must be
judged by the degree to which it
embodies the following provisions:

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Feb. 10
John Fisher, one of the Sacramento
defendants in the criminal syndi-
calism trial here, was freed yester-
day on account of insufficient evil
dence after seven months imprison-
ment awaiting trial.
The prosecutions case is rapidly
crumbling under the hammer blows
of the defense, but the frame-up
political machine and hand picked
Jury still constitute a serious menace
to the remaining defendants. Leo
Gallagher, International Labor De-
Tense attorney, yesterday demanded
that count five, relating to overt
acts" be dropped. Judge Lennon
was forced to admit that there is
at best only the most slender evil
dence against few of the defend
ants on this count and no evidence
against most Of them.

sailors and marines are prepared
for a bitter fight next year against
these representatives. and senators
who dared oppose cash payment Of
the bonus now when 1t is not due
until 1945. The soldiers lobby is
the greatest and most expensive
lobby in Washington now. It knows
its power and it does not hesitate
to characterize opponents Of the
cash bonus as traitors. The lobby
lists are certain to go into every
state and congressional district next
summer and seek to defeat those
who dared to follow their own con-
science and vote against this raid
on the treasury. IS
AS a result OF the vote on the
bonus and the subsequent Presiden-
tial veto some keen political observ-
ers have begun to calculate in their
own minds what the view of the
country is. It was pointed out, for
example, that q maximum of four,
million would be entitled to boz
nus. At the same time attention
was called to the fact that new
voters are arriving at the age OF
franchise at the rate of approx
mately two million q year or almost
thirty-Six million since the end of
the World War. These observers
contend that the new voters and
those who are not entitled to the
bonus constitute q majority. Thus,
they seek to show that there Is a
great majority Of the voters Of the
country unwilling to see such q
sum Of money voted to minority
especially at time when the gov
eminent is taxing it's citizens and
borrowing in billions to give relief
to all whether they fought for their
country sOr not. The question is
then whether the politicians will
wake up In time to represent the
or be fooled by the power
OF highly organized minority.
