To Inauourate Brutal Taxation

Berlin.-Dr. Rudolf Hilferding, the
first Socialist to hold the federal po-
sition of minister of finance, informed
the reichstag budget committee that he
purpoSed to inaugurate an era of "bru-
tai and ruthless taxation policies"
The banks and industrialists, said DR..
Hilferding, already had received his
warning, and he was particularly desir-
GUS of informing the public at large Of
his intention. 1t was his opinion that
dictatOrial measures within constitu-
tional limits would prove the only
means of saving the country in the
present situation.

While some relief may be afforded to

STATE
GENERAL STRIKE SOON
WOBBLIES PROMOTING STRIKE
TO BE CALLED WITHIN SIX
WEEKS, is CLAIM

Sacramento, Calif.-Sacramento is to
be subjected to a reign of terror by
the Industrial Workers of the World
and members of the organization plan
to give the city "the same kind of a
dose that was administered to Centra-
liza, Wash.," it has been learned by
state investigators who are probing the
activities of the organization in Cali
fornia.
Inside details of the plan of the I.
w. W. to get revenge on Sacramento
for prosecutions of it's members under
the criminal syndicalism act, were OBJ
tanned by the Investigators during a
meeting of the organization in a near
by city a short time ago. A report of
the results of the investigation has
been filed with state authorities.
The time set for the drive on Sacra-
mento is the early fall, according to
one of the officials of the l. w. W.,
who told at the meeting of plans to
teach Sacramento a lesson" The ar
rest of this official is expected.
This leader was the principal speak
er at the meeting, according to the in
vestigatOrs. He began revealing the
intended invasion of Sacramento by re-
ferring to the suit for an injunction
against the I. w. w. brought by Dis
trict Attorney ]. j. Henderson, and the
numerous arrests and convictions of I.
w. w. members under a criminal syn
dicalism law.
"It is about time," the official is
quoted as saying, ito give Sacramento
a dose of the same kind that the mem
bers gave Centralia and wake her up.
1t will be good time to start it when
the members come back this fall to
spend the winter"
The speaker is declared to have said
that the organization should invade
Sacramento with as many I. w. w.
members as can be gathered together,
open hall, start free-speech cam
paign, fill the jails Of both the city
any county, then have parades and
start a general "reign Of terror" in the
city.
The investigators also have reported
concerning the plans of the 1. w. W..
in promoting general strike in indus-
tries, agriculture, lumber and general
construction camps, which the organi-
Zation hopes to call within six weeks.
The Investigators also secured a
quantity of a new consignment of L.
w. w. literature, published in Chicago
and California headquarters, which has
been broadcast thruout the state.
The Industrial Workers of the
World, it's officers and members were
restrained in an injunction granted by
the Superior Court of Sacramento
county from acting as an organization
or as it's officers and members in Cal
ifornia.
Prosecuting attorneys who attended
the court session said the granting of
the injunction will eliminate long trials
Of members of the l. w. W. under the
state syndicalism law make member

injunction and as such contempt Of

try"
Mr., Graham also pictured the

years ago the grape growers of the
west only received 2 cents per pound

ciation,' he said. "Now why can't
the Georgia farmer do the same?
Let them organize and become as
one"
