LOYAL AMERICAN LABOR.

The American Federation Of Labor 8
formal announcement of It's complete
separation from Bolshnvism is much more
than a disavuwal of the communIKtlC
Third Iutenatlouale and the Soviet
regime IN Russia Il is also IN emphatic
population Of the British Labor Party, the
Italian Labor party and the International
Federation OF Trade Unions.
All of these organizations arc accused on
the evidence of their own utteranoes rs
revolutionary aud inspired by "anarchistio
hostility % all governments without DIS
elimination Furthermore. II Is plainly
stated that the aggressive and violent
character OF the Boshevist regime Is now
due primarily not 60 the certainty OF
their hold upon thcktssinu government or
upon the victories of the kcd armies but
uIpon the cooperation oi European labor
The American Federation position IS
not altogether negative. IL finds IN the
United States Republic by no means per-
feet but resting upon the principles Of
freedom, justice and universal suffrage.
Refusing to heed the appeals OF agltators
abroad who are making war upon these
principles, the American Federation says
that IL is not revolutionary body ana
that the appeals Of Lenme and Trotsky
and their converts viii fall upon deaf ears
in this country SO far IS the organized
labor movement IS concerned.
Perhaps the most significant phase oil
this declaration of independence by Mr..
Gonpers and his associates Is It's Indict-
ment Of the ncw lawlessness OF British
labor unions the oldest, most powerful
and once most democratic of all trade
organizations " hen labor societies with
such traditions can be swept from then
moorings by Russian doctrines Of lunacy
and loot. the patriotic Stand OF the
American Federation becomes the more
noteworthy and the more entitled to
recognition and support-New York

No Cut in Income Tax Rates.

1t is announced from Washington that
there will be no reduction in the rates OF in
come tax 10 he paid for the ensuing fiscal
year The present Republican Congress, 1t
is said, will not reduce income taxes ex-
cept possibly in SOME kind OF bill to re-
store the old price-increasing protective
tariff-so enormously profitable to the
few special interests-and of course, such
measure would encounter peremptory
veto by President Wilson. So the people
are asked TO wait for complete Repnbli-
can administration, when they may get
some tax reduction, and surely will get all
kinds of burdensome tariff taxation 10 in
crease the cost of living and enable the
favored few 10 reap enormous profits, as
was SO notoriously the case in years gone
by.
But there would he no assurance OF
lower income taxes or any other taxes
through complete Republican admins
tration The high protective tariff would
come first, and that would reduce revenue
not increase it, Then there would he
good excuse for not reducing other taxes.
The present Republican Congress sat IN
at Washington for more than year WIN
out making any effort to reduce the exist
| ing war taxes. which were necessitated by
the war, but have no excuse for Their mann
tenance in times of peace Here rs some
thing for the people to remember every
time they lay out money for war taxes
This idle. worthless, do-nothing Re
publican Congress had ample opportu-
nifty 10 abolish these onerous and unneces-
sary war taxes but failed 10 do so.

When you pay your way into place Of
amusement, and have to fork over the ir-
ritating war tax, just remember that the
present Republican Congress might have
abolished that obnoxious tax--to say
nothing Of others-but refrained from
so doing. And that would be the policy of
another Republican Congress in respect of

To Make Survey of "Jobless'
Men.

Washington, Dec. 10.-An inquiry
to determine the extent of unemploy-
ment in IS principal industrial cities
of the country was announced today
by the department of labor. Decision
to this effect was made public after
Secretary Wilson had conferred with
nine regional directors who have
been appointed to conduct survey
of conditions, in operation with the
present field force of the United
States employment service and with
other state and federal agencies.
The industrial classification of the
census bureau will be utilized in
making the survey, which will take
into consideration only industrial
concerns with minimum of 500 en-
ployees. The first results are expected
to be ready for announcement by
January Is, and it is the intention
subquently to issue employment
statistics biweekly.
Officials would make no estimate
today of the country's idle workers,
although they expressed the opinion
that the trend toward unemployment
ON a large scale had been marked du-
ring the last few months. Recently, it
was said, the employment service had
been placing from $4,000 to $4,000
persons in positions every month.
The regional directors and their
divisions for the purposes of the sur
vey include: R. lizard, South Atlantic
district headquarters, Richmond
states of Deleware, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Florida and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
