Mellon Tax Bill
Scheduled for Rough
Handling in Senate

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE real
fight over the Mellon tax bill opens
in the House today with rough and
tumble debate. It's outcome is still
uncertain.
There is agreement, however,
among all party and faction leaders
that the Mellon bill. as reported from
the ways and means committee, with
25 per cent maximum surtax rates,
cannot pass.
Republicans and democrats are
split into three groups on maximum
surtax rates--the key to the tax re-
duction situation.
While the democrats were bound by
caucus action last night to vote for
the A per cent rate in the Garner
plan, democrats who pledged them
selves to their constituents to vote
for other rates will be free TO do so.
Seven democrats are pledged to vote
for 80 per cent. the figure favored by

Wonder Why Foster

Organization DriUe

Taking consolation from the Chris
tian version of history, which enables
meek and lowly carpenter from
Nazareth to go forth and conquering
spiritual world with twelve apostles,
William Schoenberg, of the Inter
national Association Of Machinists,
informed an audience Of 35 steel
workers, most of them already organ
lied, at meeting held yesterday in
South Chicago, that labor would win
in the end even tho it may have to
get its brains knocked out in the
meantime.
The object Of the meeting was to
organize the steel workers. A repre-
sentative of the Boilermakers felt
quite optimistic.
Labor will be in existence one
thousand years from now" he declar-
ed. The few workers in the cold hall
thought it was a rather long wait
and wondered why a live organizer
like William z. Foster or Theodore
Wind were not handling the steel or
ganizing campaign instead Of those
fossils.

Martial Glory O. X.
Until Hero Was
Called to II erin

Illinois national guardsmen who
Joined the organization just to have
a good time and place to hang out
are discovering that martial law
means business when labor struggles
and other controversies are in ques-
ton.
Henry Gatz, a guardsman who had
protected strikebreakers at Joliet,
ILL.,, was called out again last week
to go with his regiment to Herrin,
where the state wanted men in uni
form to function with guns. He did
not answer the call Immediately.
A flying squad Of police dashed
down to his home at $3.50 Monday
morning and got him out of bed I'M
der arrest. The newspapers were
told about it and branded him as a
deserter. His family has been bonn
barded by reporters. His telephone
has been ringing constantly. The
home reflects in it's atmosphere the
feeling Of being under nrs.
Henry is not a deserter,v says his
brother. "Under military law he is
carried as absent without leave for
the first ten days. Some bunch of
wise nuts in the national guard, l
say. / wouldn't belong to the out
fit" He thinks there are better hang
outs than the West Madison street
armory.

Argentina Navy
G. e t s 3I,5OO,OOO
Pesos for Expansion

BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 17.-Argen-
tina has appropriated 100000 pesos
in gold for the undermining of its
fleet, followed Immediately by 22,-
100000 for the enlargement of the
same. The workers organizations Of
the country are forming anti-arma-
ment committees to combat these ex-
penditures.
Back of this big increase in arma-
ment may be seen the hand of the
American armament companies and
of the American state department.
The next most powerful country to
Argentina in Latin America is Brazil
and there a commission of American
naval experts is supervising Brazil
ian war preparedness, which means
hefty sales there.
Argentina, to protect itself buys
twice as much. Both countries bor-
row money from American bankers
on condition that they spend it that
way and give American financial ex-
perts the right to supervise their
internal finances. At the same time,
all this carefully promoted COMPETE
ton and suspicion prevents a Latin
American unity for protection
against the real enemy Of every
Latin American country, which is
Yankee imperialism.

TOO MANY MINERS
SAY OPERATORS;
LEWIS AGREES
Operators Disagree on
Length of Contract

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. IT,
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America and
the coal operators now in session are
IN absolute agreement on the uues-
ton of Riding the coal industry of
1000 miners. Where these work
ers are to go was not indicated. Evil
IDENTIFY it is not serious problem for
Lewis and his coal baron friends.
"The process Of elimination has
already commenced" declared big
coal operator. "0ne-half of the TOO
bitumious shipping mines in the coun-
try must go with them 100000 min
ers."
1t never occurs to the miners lead
ers or to the operators that the men
who dig the coal have any right to a
voice in the disposition of coal
mines. There's not to reason why
there's but to work and die"
While John L. Lewis is talking
about four year contract it is not
likely that the operators will submit
to this. In election years the min
ers have the advantage of the de-
licacy of the political campaigns on
their side. Administration do not
like to face the country and explain
away coal strike. Subtle pressure
is therefore brought to bear on the
operators to induce them to settle.
The bosses are willing to sign up for
one year, but the probability is that
they may sign for two and that Lewis
will agree. They do not want to
negotiate again in 1928.
The big coal operators have ac-
cepted as settled an agreement with
out reduction in wages, in the CEN
trail competitive fields. The sug-
gestion to return to the 1917 wage
scale was not considered seriously.
The miners demanded the right to
go into the different districts and
make working and wage agreements
tending to equalize the different con-
ditions under which mines are oper-
ated. This the operators strenuously
opposed.
Philip H. Penna, president of the
Indiana Mine Operators Association
predicted a settlement would be ar
rived at without passing thru strike.
Penna is considered one of the most
authoritive Spokesman for the coal
barons.

That the strike will assume more

first expected was indicated by the
pledge of the cloakmakers' union
here to go on sympathetic strike and
act as pickets for the dressmakers.
The international union will back the
strike.
Leading the strike demands are

of the union and a variable raise in
wages. Employers who have signed
union agreements until now, demand
the five and half day week and
reject the unions wage demand. Non
union employers continue to stand for

This is the strategic time for a

the industry. 1t is the busy season
Of the year when the bosses need the
workers most.

support the strike to the limit in spite
OF the unfai1 treatment they have re-
ceived from the Perlstein machine.

ing the almost insurmountable pres
ent obstacles he says, IF the inter-
national labor union would concen-
trate their work in say ten labor
owned plants, the legitimate earnings
on this work would be sufficient to
subsidize ten first class labor dailies.
AS it is, the labor press is starved
to death by those it seeks to serve;
and if the shortsighted policy is not
changed the future of the American
labor press is well nigh hopeless"

Generals Holding

Job s in GERMANY
(By The Federated Press)

WEIMAR, Thuringia, Germany,
Feb. 17.-Germany is raising a crop
of generals that arrogate to them
selves the right to manage every
thing from the formation of politi-
cal cabinet in a supposedly free
state to the appointment of a the
alter manager.
In Thuringia, General Won Hasse
is dictator under the state Of emer-
gency law. Having successfully
smashed the Proletarian Hundreds
and after having brought about the
arrest Of the Socialist minister OF
the interior and established a united
front of all nonworking class parties
in the state, he looked about for new
worlds to conquer. The realm of
art attracted his imagination, and he
proceeded forthwith to announce
that the projected appointment Of a
certain DR.. Ulbrich Of Meinengen
as general manager of the State
theater at Weimar must first have
his Endorsement.
This uncalled-for interference with
a purely cultural question has ere.
ated wide stir turnout the nation.
Even capitalist papers with more or
less liberal tendencies are editorial
izing against it.

BRITISH LABOR

Baldwin Attacks Rec
ognition of Russia

LONDON, Feb. 17.--In its first
division in the House of Commons
the British Labor Party won by
vote of 200 to 1903. There were only
less than half the members present.
The liberals supported Macdonald.
Stanley Baldwin, the apostle of
tranquility and business administra-
ton, attacked the Labor Party's poll
icy on Soviet Russia. He expressed
the view that unless the British gov
eminent succeeded in collecting on
the debts the Car owed to England,
every other country in Europe that
owed England money would consider
themselves under no further obliga-
tons to pay.
Former Prime Minister Asquith
attacked the Labor Party for giving
the Poplar Board Of Guardians n
free hand in the distribution Of
doles. This borough is dominated
by radicals and under the Tory reg
ime several guardians went to Jail
in clash with the government over
the distribution Of doles to the un-
employed.
Mr.. Baldwin wished his successor
well but expressed pessimism IN the
Labor Party's ability to achieve sue

INDUSTRY BOARD
Favoritism to Employ
ers Is Charged

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 1.-THE
governor of Illinois in the midst Of
campaign for reelection with the OPP
position of the big interests in the
republican machine lined up solidly
against him has turned to the work
ers for consolation in his hour of
stress.
The Illinois Industrial commission
under his administration has very
bad record among the workers who
had occasion to test it's impartiality.
Complaints hitherto fell on deaf ears
but now as the election approaches
the governor has evidently decided to
make last mad dash for the labor
vote which is rapidly vanishing.
AS result of the advice of poll
ticians closer to labor than the gov
ernor the Industrial commission board
is to be shaken up or down and
friends of labor" substituted for
those notv on. 1t is stated that Frank
Harrington, head of the Illinois
miners, and A. w. Kerr, miners at
torney. had a conference with Small
and William Hale Thompson of Chi
cago and on the latter's advice the
changes in personnel on the industrial
board were made.
Charges were made that during
the Small administration awards to
injured workers were reduced 20 per
cent, that settlements were not ex-
pedited by the board, that employers
were favored resulting in a loss to
injured workers of over 81 100000.
