TEACHERS OPPOSE
TAX FAVORS

Chicago. The Chicago Teachers
Federation is waging another cam
paign against small tax assessments
on the property Of big business. Sew
eral years ago the teachers waged a
successful war against this favoritism.
The city's educational fund is fac
ing deficit of more than $15,000,000.
The teachers say if big business paid
it's share of taxes, Chicago's public
schools would be benefited.
William H. Weber, member of the
board of assessors, defends big bust
ness by intimating that the teachers
intend increasing all taxes.
Replying to Weber, Miss Margaret
Haley, of the Teachers Federation,
shows by public records that when
the stock yards barons were battling
for high rates before the department
of agriculture, they claimed the aver
age value of their 24O acres was So
per square foot.
For taxing purposes, the Chicago
appraisers have placed value of 35
cents square foot on this property.
Most property in this country is as
sessed 10 and IL times more than the
stock yards.

Soviets Still Persecute
Labor as Moscow Faces
New Revolt of Workers
BY international Labor News Service.

BY international Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C. - The Soviet
newspapers continue to be filled with
accounts of the persecution of wage
earners by the dreaded Che-Ka, now
known as G. P. U.-in other words,
the Soviets' system of secret police,
exile, imprisonment and execution-by
which they get rid of all opponents of
the Bolshevist dictatorship.
A foreign correspondent, writing
to the New York Times, has recently
analyzed this persecution in its new
est anti-labor phase. Soviet news
papers on file in this country amply
prove his statement According to
this thoroughly substantiated report
the state of persecution in Soviet
Russia is now as follows:
THE perpetual industrial crisis
caused widespread unemployment and
discomfort among the workers of ma
tionalized enterprises, one Of the
principal complaints being non-pay-
ment of wages Sometimes payment
was delayed several months, particu-
larly in the Don basin, Simbrisk and
the Urals The Government made
heroic attempts to pay the arrears of
wages, but was only partially success
ful, and now the proletariat which it
is ostensibly defending, is really its
chief anxiety
Discomfort Steadily Grows
Notwithstanding continual arrests
and banishments of restive workers
under plausible pretexts, the spirit
of disaffection is steadily increasing.
The Government foments strikes
among workers in private undertak-
ings, and the press advertises these
strikes widely, the idea being to draw
a contrast and convince the state
employed workers that they are bet
ter off than their fellows in private
employment
But these efforts are generally un-
successful and the Government now
relies wholly upon the extraordinary
powers recently accorded to the secret
police and directed chiefly against in
dustrial workers with 'counter-revolu-
tionary' tendencies.
Now, after desultory campaigns
against the New Economic Policy and
financial parasites, the turn of the
factory workers has come Against
them the systematic underground ter
rorist methods of the secret police
have already been set in motion.

June II Meeting Committed In Advance To
Certain Policies Dictated by Communists;
Formation Of "Class" Party to be Dominant
Idea at Gathering, Foster Proclaims.

By International Labor News Service
Washington, d. C. Communist
plans to dominate the st. Paul June
II convention to form a class" po-
litical party are continuously set
forth in the Communist organs, par
tcularly the Daily Worker and Fos-
ter's Labor Herald.
The reds point out clearly what
seems to have escaped certain we'll
meaning persons who have been duped
into the St. Paul affair That is that
the ST. Paul convention is committed
IN ADVANCE to certain lines of con-
duct determined upon by the Com
munists. All who do not fall in line
with the schemings of the red revolu
tionists are called Labor traitors" by
this precious outfit of Moscow satel-
ties who work with equal impartiality
with the red general staff in Moscow,
private detective agencies and reac-
tionary politicians in the United
States.
Fosters Organ Explains
Communist Proposals
Fosters Labor Herald (Which
should be called the Communist Her
ald) explains in its May issue the
Communist proposals. Boosting that
the st. Paul convention is to be
gathering of "the rank and file"
(Which it is not) this Moscow organ
goes on to say:
at is committed in advance to the
program of putting up independent
farmer-labor candidates in the coming
election regardless of the decisions
of either the Republican or Demo-
cratic parties. The bodies which con-
stituted the preliminary conferences
and issued the call for the convention
consisted of seven already existing
farmer-labor parties including the
Federated Farmer-Labor Party, to
which last the Communists of the
Workers Party are affiliated. The
class idea was the dominant idea in
the conference and the sentiment for
welding the whole movement into one
national farmer-labor party on June
18th is strong and growing among the
participants in the arrangements for
the convention. That both these fac
tors will grow stronger there can be
n odoubt. The presence in the con-
vention of the Communists, who
stand squarely and fight aggressively
for the organization of a national
party and the domination in it Of the
class idea is the best guarantee of
/. this.
