Up $235,370,l74

DAILY Worker Washington Burcau)


WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. l.
Translated into the cold figures Of
President Roosevelt's budget mes
sage for the fiscal year ending June
30. 1886. the new order of things
he proposed in his Friday opening
speech to the Seventy-fourth Con-
gress means not one penny for I'M
employment, old age, maternity or
sickness insurance, but rather an
other billion dollar war preparations
program.
Illustrating what he meant last
Friday when he said he would seek
to satisfy the American peoples
desire for change" through tested
liberal traditions" the President
presented budget message to Con-
gress today which scheduled a mini
mum of 1902, 107,l5s for the War
and Navy Departments, an increase
of S235 ,370,174 over the 1884 regular
appropriations = the principal in
crease in the budget An increase Of
1920, 900 was given to the Bureau of
Investigation of the Department of
Justice. one Of the most important
functions of which is to hound the
foreign-born worker, assist in the
breaking of strikes and spy upon
the revolutionary working class
movement.
"More Abundant Life"
Roosevelt's conception of his Oft
repeated intention to provide all of
the people with "a more abundant
life" is graphically reflected by an
increase Of only $28, 730 for expan-
sion Of the work pertaining to child
and maternal health. child la y
and industrial conditions affecting
children and dependent, neglected,
physically handicapped, and men
tally defective children, in co-opera-
ton with State and local welfare
organizations" The Women's Blu
reau of the Department of Labor is
granted an increase Of only s14,420.
Frances Perkins, the $4,000 a year
Secretary of Labor, however, is
helped to "the more abundant life"
by an allowance of $500 for the
replacement of her limousine.
In brief, what Roosevelt's New
Deal government means by security
against the major hazards and vi
cissitudes of life" for all the people
is legislation which proposes to sad
die the workers, poor farmers and
the salaried classes with the basic
anti-labor program of the dominant
bankers and industrialists who
sponsored the fascist-smudged N
R. A., and who were the prime NOV
ers in the recently initiated admin
stration- big business wage cutting
drive.
Deficit Cut
The new budget, which amounts
to $3.50, 41360o, as against ss,581,-
069,026 for 1855, presents an esti-
mated deficit for 1886 totalling
S4,528,508,970, as compared with
s4,3s9.41S,338 for 1885, or a drop of

Repeats Hearst SANDER
to Delegation at
City Hall Rally

More than 1000 New York work
ers marched before City Hall yes
terday in support of the Workers
Unemployment Insurance Bill in
one Of the most militant and dis
ciplined demonstrations this city
has seen in many months, while at
least that many workers from near
by buildings watched sympathe-
tically.
Mayor LaGuardia, who came to
power on the basis of being q pro
gressive," a defender of civil liberties
and friend of labor, fatty re-
fused to see the delegation elected
by the unemployed.
The demonstration had been
called as one of a series of mass
rallies in every large city through
out the country in support Of the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill, introduced into Congress by
Rep. Ernest Lundeen of Minnesota.
In one of the most venomous at
tscks on the Soviet Union that any
public official has permitted him
self to make recently, LaGuardia
told committee of three who were
negotiating for meeting of a mass
delegation with him, that if they
"came this close to the seat Of gov
eminent in Russia" they would be
shot.
Makes Hearst like Speech
He preceded his remarks to the
workers delegation by speech to
group of war veterans represent
ing the officer-controlled American
Legion, Spanish American War Vet
Grams and Jewish War Veterans
where he made another outburst
against the unemployed and against
the Soviet Union.
your attitude" the Mayor said
to the be-ribboned officers within
the official reception room, lis in
contrast with that Of the people
outside, most of whom are on relief"
Defending the seles tax as the
necessary source of revenue" for re-
lief funds, he continued:
"They are denouncing the nee
essary source of revenue that
makes relief possible and denounc-
ing the government that takes
care of them. If they came with
in the same distance of Lenin-
grad, or some other city in the
Soviet government, that they
have come here, they would be
put up against a wall by firing
squad and shot,
Police Bar Entrances
Workers began to drift into the
vicinity of City Hall early. although
none were allowed into the Plaza
itself by mounted policemen and
patrolmen stationed at every en-
trance.
BY 11:45 over $500 had gathered
on the sidewalk on the southeast
side of the Plaza with more swell
ing the ranks with every incoming
subway train.
BY noon 1000 had gathered, blood
red banners and placards held high.

uine system of unemployment and

completely ignore the sixteen mil
lion unemployed. Nor do they pro-
vide any protection for the at pres
ent employed workers over a
long period of time. On the con-
trary, after STIMULATING a number
of weeks of benefits, they again
throw the workers into the arms of
charity organizations. This point
of view the National Congress
should reject and declare as basic
that every worker is entitled to full
compensation for loss of work. The
Congress must declare for protec-
ton by the government against part
time, accident, sickness as we'll as
for old age and maternity Presi-
dent Roosevelt is no friend of the
hungry masses of unemployed
workers, and his much advertised
social security program is just one
more of his many frauds upon the
workers, The question of social
relief and security is dealt with in
proper form only in the Workers
Unemployment and Social Insur-
ance Bill.
I trust, therefore, that the Con-
gress will not fail to line up whole
heartedly behind the Bill and
launch a movement that will i'm
press ever larger numbers of in
dustrial, white collar and profess
sional workers, Negroes, farmers,
veterans, youth, etc, into the strug-
gle on the most burning issue be-
fore the whole American people to-
day.
The toiling masses are discon-
tented with this terrible situation.
We must leave this Congress de-
termined to unite them in millions
behind the Workers Unemployment
and Social Insurance Bill.
Fraternally yours.

Old Highway No. +
NosO Being Repaired
Stretch From Walker Corner To
Stewards Bridge Being
Widened and Regarded

Work was begun sometime ago
on the section of Old Highway No.
4 which begins at the four mile
corner and, leaving the pavement
south Of this city, proceeds across
Stewards bridge to Melrose. For
some years now that section of the
road has been in need Of rebuild
ing and was nearly impossible in
rainy weather and heavy SHOWS
because Of the lack Of proper drain
age.
Work is now being done to build
up the center roadbed and deepen
and widen the bitches to afford the
necessary drainage. This road,
known as the old road to Melrose,
is an important highway into this
city. It commands a large amount
of farm trade, besides that 1t is the
only access to Sank Centre from
the towns Of Greenwald, Metre
Grove and those smaller commun-
tiles south Of this city. 1t is also a
school bus route and a mail route
and the Improvement is a welcome
one to both Sank Centre and Mel
rose.
The rebuilding was secured
through the efforts Of the highway
committee of the local Community
Club working in conjunction with
Lawrence Herzog, County commits
sioner, and the highway depart
ment. The Northern States Power
Company is to be commended on
their cooperation in moving near
ly fifty poles to facilitate the work.

Outplayed Melrose During

Event

On a crisp turf, with half melted
ice clinging to the grass to make
going slippery, the local squad
fought losing fight last Friday
afternoon against a powerful Mel
rose attack. An attack which de-
veloped slowly into sensation of
speed and resulted in loss for the
Sank Centre lads, with the final
score of rs to Z. The locals lost no
time in getting their attack under
way and taking advantage of the
slippery field, which seemed to IA
vor the runner rather than the
tackler, the locals lead by Graham
and Decree scored early in the
first period.
Keldahl kicked off, a low, Looping
kick that penetrated deep into
Melrose territory. Melrose seemed
to have difficulty in getting under
way and they were forced to punt.
The punt was a good one which we
recovered on the local twenty yard
line. The locals drove from there
to their own 35 yard stripe. At that
point the locals got the first break
of the game when they were put
into position to capitalize on a
Melrose Is yard penalty.
This penalty was the deciding
factor in the first touchdown,
without it the Sank Centre lads
would probably have not been able
on that slippery field, to have kept
the ball long enough to score. The
next play clicked perfectly, and
Decree swept around end with
some nice interference for 20 yards
and the first counter of the game.
Keldahl converted with a field
goal. The end of the first quarter
found the locals out in front with
