WANT MORE JOBLESS

SAN FRANCISCO The, Industrial Association, an organization of busi- ness men, is advertising in eastern papers for building draftsmen to come to this city, though thousands of men are unemployed.
 Trade unionists called the atten- tion of the city'si board of supervisors to these advertisements, and the board has asked the mayor to issue a proclamation setting forth the un- employment situation. '.
 Only recently the board appropri- ated $25, ,OOO to meet the extraordi- nary unemployment situation in this city, but regardless of these condi- tions, business men advertise:
 .Working conditions ideal; climate hnsurpassed; outdoor work year round; living expenses most reason able: write for information and appli- cation blank to Industrial Association, San Francisco"

LABOR FIGHTS BILL
 TO OUTLAW. STRIKE

WASHINGTON-T should be a board in the commonwealth with authority to, compel employers and employees to submit their differences to arbitration and to be governed by the decision, declared James O'Brien.. representing the Arkwright Club, be- fore the legislative Confmittee on La Dor and Industry. He was supporting his petition for law providing that it shall be unlawful for any person, organization or combination to strike if such person or the members of such organization or combination are licensed employees.
 Unalterable opposition was voiced by a large number of representatives of Labor organizations. On behalf of the American Federation of Labor, Martin T. Joyce opposed the measure, asserting that it is unfair automati~ cally to pledge a man who takes an examination for license not to join a trade union.7 He also expressed the opinion that the bill was unconstitu- tional.

COST TO BRITAIN OF
 SHORTER WORKDAY

GLASGOW - F.. A. Macquisten, member for Springburn, one of the Glasgow parliamentary divisions, re- gently addressed. about 1000 of the un- employed in his constituency. Man kind, he said, would never be able en- tirely to dispose of the problem of un- employment. To mitigate the evil he thought something on the lines of the Workmen's Compensation Act should be adopted, whereby unemployment would become part of the costs of the industry. Industry would be stimu- lated and would spread it's operations evenly over the years, instead of hav- ing periods of great production and periods of under-production.
 The shorter working-day costs money, and he had been told by a large employer of Labor in Glasgow that the cost of the reduction of hours after the armistice had added some thing like between f175, ,000, ,000 to e200 ,000 ,000 to the cost of the articles produced in this country.

STUNG BY BUCKET SHOPS

NEW YORK-7More than 100000 persons have been victimized by bucket shops in this city last year, according to District Attorney Ban ton, who says he is amazed at the magnitude of these operations.
 One of the favorite methods of the bucket shop operators was to inter- est people in buying stock on the in- stallment plan. The affair~was con- ducted along legitimate lines until the stock had been nearly paid for. The bucket shop would then secure consent of the customer to place the stock in a Spool" This was the last heard of the stock.

TAX EXEMPTIONS
 BENEFIT THE RICH
 BURDEN THE POOR
Enormous Issues of Tax-Free Securities in Last Few Years Simply Shifts Load. to Those Least Able to Bear It

WASHINGTON - Sixteen billion dollars worth of taX-free securities have been issued in the last few years That is an estimate of tax experts and statisticians who are engaged in the hopeful undertaking of trying to raise money for running the government both by levying taxes and exempting hidden from the people. But the hard truth is that the government has got to function and it's functioning must be paid for out of taxes. No matter how much blather may be believed by the tax experts and the "stop-it- now-hell's ll's-let-loose" exhorters for tax reform, the fact stands out boldly that this tremendous volume of securities has already escaped taxation, and their holders cannot be reached by the tax collector. No extended argument is necessary to prove that these security holders are not wage-earn- CTS.
 Without leveling an accusing finger at any particular class of patriots, It is a safe conjecture that, these securi- ties are held by persons, corporations and institutions able to pay taxes without giving up any of the neces- saries of life or even foregoing any of their normal comforts. The sound ness of this conjecture is shown in the annual decline of Federal sincome-tax payments since 1916. In that year receipts from income taxes from indl- viduals were $992,972, 1885. A falling off in these returns to $731, ,372, ,O53 is noted for 1917. In 1918 they were nearly cut in half, being $392, ,247 ,329. This is drop from 1916 to 1918 of $500, ,725, ,616 in form of taxes which were originally levied with the object of placing the burden of taxation upon those best able to bear it.
 N No account is taken by the tax ex- Derts of the natural increase in in come taxes accruing, through fortunes made in war profteering. It is likely that these figures were too astounding to include in their estimates because of the possible effect upon those who have to pay the war taxes out of their blood.
 Nor do the tax experts consider the relation between the decline in indi- vidual income taxes and the increase in tax x-exempt securities. In view of the issuing of these tax-exempt se- curitieS at a time when the ratio of individual income taxes was being in- creased, and great fortunes were be- ing piled up by war contracts, It IS a reasonable presumption that the securities exempt from taxation were issued with the object of permitting persons of large means to invest in them and at the same time to. escape their just payment of the war debt.
 No mattA what may be done in the future regulating or prohibiting the issuance of tax-exempt securities, the taxes which should have been paid by the holders of the securities already exempt have been shifted, and will continue to be shifted, from those who are best able to pay to those who are least able to pay
 Stated in plain terms sixteen bill lions of tax-exemptl securities are taxes lifted from the rich and put upon the poor. The poor must pay them, for they are at the end of the burden bearing line.

eral tary-treasurer and has is sued the following circular letter:
 Hartford, Conn.,, February, 1922. To all Members of the Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and Paper
 hangers of America. Brothers, Greeting:
 | Local Union No. 4S1 has placed in nomination the name of Brother James J. Dunne for the office of general sec retary- of our brotherhood, and in his candidacy we request sup port from every member who firmly believes that initiative and executive ability, undeniable honesty, and close attention to business, coupled with twenty years continuous and active service in office and committee duties for the benefit of his brother mem bers, <the major portion of such time and service being without pay, should 1 be rewarded.
 Brother Dunne was a delegate to l the twelfth biennial general assembly, at Dallas, Texas, where he received numerous offers of nomination for the office of general secretary treasurer, i all of which he declined with the hon. est statement that he was in Dallas I to do the bidding of Union 481, and not for the purpose of seeking personal favors or office. In view of the fact that the re- grettabae failing in health of both MT. and Mrs. Skemp has brought about the resignation of our general secre- ttary-treasurer, Brother Dunne has now accepted the nomination, with the firm belief that, every officer and member who has done business with him at any time during the past | twenty years,f as we'll as those whom he has, so willingly and ably assisted when they needed his intelligent serv- | ice, will now rally to his support, and return him winner.
 It is useless to list in detail the various offices and committees to which he has been elected, or the null titudinous duties that he has been called upon to perform for local, state and general organizations. Suffice it to say that he has been tested and judged from every angle, and a unan- imous verdict has been rendered by I all, that he is unselfish, scrupulously honest, and capable and tireless worker in any movement that is for progress in our locals and our brotherhood.
 Brother Dunne has in his posses sion hundreds of letters from seere- taries of locals, district councils and conferences, and from general officers of our brotherhood, thanking him for his prompt service and the very satls- factory results obtained through his unbeatable activity
 Local Union No. 481 will deem 1t a great favor and will appreciate every effort made by the membership of our brotherhood to reward an honest, faithful and capable record by casting large vote for our candidate, James J. Dunne, for the office of general secretary-treasurer.
 Assuring. you that his nomination and election will be credit to our brotherhood, we beg leave to remain, Sincerely and fraternally yours
