PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April g.
The officials of the Waist and Dress
Markers Union, Local No. so, Of this
city are again worried about the
Red" The local, formerly No. Id,
has been ''reorganized." All mem
bers suspected OF being progressives
or Of having any thing TO do with the
wholesale expulsiens.
With the approach Of the National
Convention Of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union, the
officials began to see red" in the
recognized local, too. Three mem
bers who were nominated as candi-
dates for delegates to the convention
appeared to the officials to be tinted
with red. They were subjected to a
grilling and then deprived of the
right to run as delegates.
A special joint meeting of the
local was called, where a report on
these candidates was to be made.
According to the official figures there
are supposed to be 1900 members in
that local. OF these not more than
20 showed up. The meeting did not
take place. The membership seems
to be disguised with the tactics of the
machine and fails to come to the
meetings.
Whom will the officials blame now
when there are no more reds" in
that local?

With the dissolution of parliament
deputies lose their parliamentary i'm

could not whip manufacturers into

Negro Radical Halls
Unity of Workers in
Blacksmith Races

To The DAILY WORKER The
capitalists of the United States try
to prevent at all costs the unity and
solidarity of the black and white
workers Of the United States. The
capitalists know very we'll that if
the black and white workers come
to realize their identity of interests
and cast aside their prejudices and
animosities and join hands against
their common enemy, the capitalists,
that they, the capitalists, are
doomed.
This accounts for the spasms the
capitalist mouthpiece, the Tribune,
is having on learning that awak-
ened and enlightened Negro workers
are joining hands with awakened
enlightened white workers against
the capitalists.
Increasing numbers of Negroes
now realize that, the anti-Negro
propaganda spread thru capitalist
newspapers and other agencies, is
done by capitalist hirelings solely to
poison the minds of the white work
ers against Negro workers and to
direct their hatred against the Ne
groes, instead of against their real
enemy, the capitalists.
Class conscious Negro and white
workers all over the United States
are now joining hands and gather
ing their forces together to deal a
death blow to capitalism.-Gordon

More Soldiers Called to

FRANKFORT, KY, April 9.-Ad-

been called 10 intimidate the miners
on strike here for union conditions,
as the mines prepared to reopen.
Marksmen hidden in the hills fired
over two thousand bullets into the
homes Of the miners on the night
Of April z.
H. F. Reed, representative of the
union miners at the Liberty mine,
declared there was no use for
troops at all. He declared the non
union man would not have been
killed Thursday if the mine guards
had not inundated the union men.
Soldiers are tramping over the sur
rounding mountains in their en-
deavor to scare the union men back
TO work.
Reed again declared his willing
ness TO meet with the coal opera
tors, but Max Barker, of the Liberty
Coal e. Coke Co., has refused to
have dealings with the union.
Governor Fields seems to have
little sympathy for the struggle OF
the miners to better their condition
as he is calling in additional troops
to aid the employers and the strike
breakers. Spirited rife fire is re-
ported still going on in the hills,
as the miners are determined to
protect their families from the FIR
ing of the troops.

FULL REVISION OF
TAX BILL is AIM
OF ITS ENEMIES
Bonus Bill May Come
First on Slate
Especial to The DAILY worker,

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The
new tax bill--with the Mellon rates
written in-was ordered favorably
reported by the senate finance COM
mittee today after nearly month
of discussion.
The committees action puts the
bill on the floor of the senate where
it faces a bitter fight and apparently
inevitable and complete revision by
the progressives and the democrats.
1t will be taken up for discussion
probably next Monday.
The bill is a complete revision of
the measure passed by the house a
month ago. Republican members of
the senate committee by reason of
the. complacency Of democrats were
permitted to restore the rates first
proposed by Mellon, which were re-
jected by the house.
Democrats are confident they can
change it to meet their own view
when it is taken up on the floor.
Not Mich Time Left.
The senate finance committee be-
gan discussion of the bill nearly a
month ago, and has held day and
night sessions since that time in or
der to speed action on the measure
by the present congress.
But with only about eight weeks
remaining before congress plans to
adjourn, the situation regarding the
bill IS considered precarious. 1t can
not be taken up until Monday be-
cause senator's desire to study its
features. Leaders, however, think
that it ought to be passed finally
within four weeks.
Bonus advocates plan to shunt ii
aside when the bonus bill comes out
of committee in a few days. If thew
succeed the hcnus bill will be acted
on before the tax bill.

As NOiseLesS Heater
Of the Near Future

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 9.-The
future home will be heated by an oil
burning stove, smokeless, noiseless,
built like and operated like an auto
mobile engine. So says L. v. Nicho-
las, Chicago, president and spokes-
man for the National Petroleum Mar
keters' Association, meeting here to-
day in the second session of a four
day convention.
The "auto-stove" already has been
invented, Nicholas said in an inter-
view. 1t is altogether different from
the present oil burners, and has the
same effective combustion with no
waste of fuel as the automobile en-
CINE. OF course, it will give heat in
stead of power.
