Canada Finds Sales
Tax Like Melons Is
Burden on Business

OTTAWA, Can, Aug. 4.-When the
big business men of Canada were de-
manding a sales tax on food and cloth
ing few years ago, the Canadian Co.
operative Union stood almost alone
among organized bodies in denouncing
this tax as economically unsound, and
morally unjust. 1t declared that the
tax would place heavy handicap on
business, would reduce the purchasing
power of the consumer, increase I'M
employment, and prove so expensive
of collection as to defeat it's own end.
Now comes the Canadian Manufac-
turers Association with the discovery
that the sales tax is injuring business,
and that instead of making bigger
profits for the manufacturers, it has
raised the cost Of living to such an
extent that people are not buying.
The cost of the tax, It seems, has been
pyramided to such an extent by job
bers, wholesalers, brokers, commission
agents, retailers, and other middle
men that the consumer often has to
pay several times the original tax.
This is the same sort of sales tax
that Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ion ard Senator Smoot have been en-
deavoring to foist upon the American
people so as to reduce taxes on big
incomes.

MOSCOW OPENS
ENGLISH CLUB
FOR VISITORS
Russian Comrades Give
to English-speakers


The Central Executive Committee Of
the Workers Party is in receipt Of the
following letter in regard to the open
ing of club for English speaking i'm
migrants and Party members in
Moscow:
ITO the Central Committee
Workers Party of America.
Dear Comrades:
The above Bureau of the Moscow
Committee of the Russian Communist
Party has opened Club at the above
address for the use Of English-speaking
immigrants who are either Party men,
bers or factory workers.
The Club building is the old head
quarters of the Moscow Committee
which has bombed by Anarchists in
1918, on which occasion a number of
comrades, members of the NJ. G. were
killed. The building has been rebuilt,
and the r. G. p commentaries the
death of these comrades by giving the
building as a Club for political immi-
grants who seek refuge in Workers
Russia.
In the club we have established a
Library and Reading Room, in order
to keep foreign comrades in touch
with the movement in the English
speaking countries.
The Bureau is asking the Com
munist Parties of the English-speaking
countries to accept patronage of the
Club. This will entail the supply Of
Party newspapers and publications.
Also, if the Party has spare books and
other literature we shall be glad Of
same for the Library.
Comrades visiting Russia will be
welcomed both to the Party fraction
meetings and to the Club.
With Communist Greetings,
(Signed) Fl. NJ. EMERY,
Secretary of the Bureau"
The Central Executive Committee of
the Workers Party has been very glad
to give its support to this club and is
sending all of its Party publications
to the Club.

led into general reduction of earn
ings, under the guise of "readjust-
ments."
The workers in shops have pro-
tested against these reductions. They
have been ready to fight against them.
But they have found this impossible,
because they were isolated. each shop
by itself, and the general membership
in ignorancee Of what was going on
thruout the market.
In order to fight against this reduc-
ton, it is necessary that all the
workers shall know what is going on.
We must all know that our wages are
being generally cut, and that we
must make a general fight.
Demand a complete investigation of
the extent and nature of the reduc-
tions OF wages and raising of quality
standards thruout the Chicago mar
ket.
Demand that the local unions, and
the officers of the organization, shall
make an explanation Of this camou-
tagged surrender to the bossesi
Demand that the general level of
wages shall be restored to what they
were in the past seasonsi
Demand that the union shall pre-
pare to fight if necessary to restore
our former earning powerl.. Signed: :.

MORRIS, Ill.,, August 4.--Nathan

ris coming and going.
When asked If unions were al
lowed in the plant, the bookkeeper
of the plant replied: mo! Last
week the two leaders of the caddle
department strike were fired for
talking unionsm after returning to
work. We don't want any union
men here; we've had too much
trouble with them. The company
is the only one in Morris working
steadily. What would Morris do
without the paper mll?"
The Leopold plant on the night
shift works from fiye-thirty until
seven in the morning with the same
wages of $3.50 to $500 a day as are
paid for the ten-hour day shift. This
Is the paper making foundry.
Most of the girls, find, are
started in at twelve dollars week
in the box factory on the same jobs
where the men make fifteen dol
lars. No wonder Leopold will al

after great pain. The arrested work
ers were loaded like slaughtered ami
mails into the lorries, one on top Of
the other and on top of them all
trampled heavily armed policemen.
Through this transportation, several
workers had arms broken and face
bones smashed. To the screams Of
the prisoners, the lorries drove thru
the village to Hamburg. In various
villages, thru which the prisoner
transports passed, the workers went
on strike as protest against the So
cial democratic police president, who
was responsible for these inhuman
prisoner transports, and the social
democratic workers hung up their
Party books on the roadside trees.
Before the police presidium, the
prisoners had to pass through cor
don of police by whom they were
beaten with truncheons. If all the
tortures Of the prisoners were re-
corded, the resultant volume would be
thick and heavy.

AT present more than 1000
revolutionary workers are in
the prisons of the German
bourgeoisie. They are mostly
workers organized in the trade
unions, who, in the months of infla-
ton, fought against the low wages,
the profiteers, the dollar specula-
lions, and starvation. These brave
and honest revolutionists whose cour-
ageous actions in the imitation months
of last year found the approval of the
great majority Of the German popu-
lation, have been thrown into prison
| by hundreds and thousands. Bour-
geois judges have tried them for
breaches of peace, riot, high treason,

fathers, old and young proletarians
and working women were thrown for
more than a decade into the damp
and dark graves of prisons. Heart

courts when the harsh sentences
were passed, when the father was
torn from the family and the mother
from her helpless children for many,
many years.

THROWING BALL
HIS SPECIALITY

The Madison Alumni "W" club be
came more of a possibility today
with the announcement Of the appli-
cations of George w. Lewis, M. M.
Parkinson and 0. D. Brandenburg
for membership
Mr.. Parkinson and Mr. lBranden-
burg are perhaps the two Oldest wv
men in the city, and neither received
a letter for his athletic achievements
until many years after he was out of
school Both were stars of the Wis
consin baseball teams back in the
early sos, when baseball was aboul
the only intercollegiate sport in exis-
tence.
Mr. Brandenburg, in field meet
held on the old Camp Randall
grounds, won the national collegiate
championship for the baseball throw
with a heave of 3a5 feet, which still
IS the record as far as can be deter
mined. His friends cell how he used
to stand on State street, about where
the university club is, and hurl ball
over into the lot now occupied by the
gym A stone, they claim he could
brow from the same place into Lake
Standardization Journal.
In Baraboo Mr. Brandenburg would
throw a baseball from the Bank Of
Baraboo corner to Fourth street to
The north and the ball would have
such momentum that it would roll
almost a block further
