Government Would
Shield Rich Office
Holders in Tax Case

WASHINGTON, April II. The
right of newspapers to publish indi-
vidual income tax payments was ar
gued today before the supreme court
of the United States. The Kansas
City Journal-Post and the Baltimore
Daily Post, two of the many news
papers publishing such returns under
the publicity feature of the 1924 rev.
enue law, were indicted by the gov
ernment for test case. Is.
The lower federal courts held pub
locations we're legal.
The rich men of the country, es-
pecially those holding high govern
ment positions, were embarrassed by
the publication Of the amount of their
fortunes. iai
Solicitor General Beck argued for
the government. lud
Senator Reed of Missouri, and for
mer Secretary of War Newton d.
Baker, of Ohio, representing the news
papers, argued that the law gave the
right of publication in the newspapers
when II provided that the returns
should be opened to public inspection.
They insisted the attempt to punish
the newspapers for publishing these
returns was an Arrangement OF the
freedom of the press, which was pro-
hibited by the federal constitution.

TEACHERS WAGE
LOSES IN RACE
WITH LIVING COST
Urge N. Y. Governor to
Sign Salary Bill

ALBANY, N. Y, April 17.-There
was terrific crush when the 1000
teachers, parents and friends Of the
teachers piled into the executive
chamber to urge Governor Smith to
sign the Ricca teachers salary bill.
Stewart Browne, president of the
United Real Estate Owners, who has
been attacking the teachers bill in
New York City and who expressed
such confidence that the governor
would not sign the bill after he talked
to him, was on hand and brought with
him one or two teachers, whom he
could use.
In his vitriolic speech he denounced
the teachers as a pack of thieves and
among other things said the bill had
been kissed" thru the legislature by
the teachers. This did not come as
surprise to anyone Of the teachers
there for Browne has used no scruples
in his campaign to kill the bill. One
Of the New York papers quote him de-
claring that the teachers are only half
educated and lie like pickpockets.
Children Need Good Teachers
Attorney Samuel Untermyer, who
appeared for the teachers was the
first speaker in favor of the bill. He
said it was the duty Of the city Ito
get the right kind of teachers" And
in saying this, he added: 81 am not
concerned about the teachers but
chiefly about the children Of our pu-
bile schools"
Supreme Court Justice T. c. T.
Grain also spoke for the teachers. He
said he had no misgivings about the
financial ability of the city to pay the
teachers what they ask. He stressed
the mental attitude of the teacher
saying it was as important as the
mental capacity. Children" he said,
ARE entitled to have in the class
room not merely one equipped from
the scholastic standpoint to impart
that which they are required to learn
but an undisappointed, undiscouraged
teacher with cheerful outlook upon
life. II our children are to have all
that should come to them from our
public schools it is short-sighted to
continue to underpay the teacher"
Mr.. Lasher proved by statistics how
the teachers salaries had not kept
pace with the decrease in the pur-
chasing power of the dollar. A num-
Der of teachers spoke urging the gov
ernor to sign the bill. The Women's
City Club filed a memorandum in ia
vor Of the bill with the governor.
1t is claimed that Governor Smith
will put the bill up to Mayor Hylan
under the home rule law.

NAIL FACTORY
is NUT HOUSE
. FOR WORKERS
Boys Deafened by Din of
Nail Machines

MONESSEN, Pa, April 17.-In a
section Of one of the Pittsburgh steel
mills in Monessen, Pa, called the
"nut-house," under terrific noise and
at breakneck speed, nails are manu-
featured mostly by young boys.
Up to a short time ago we were
working on hourly basis getting AZ
cents an hour now piece work has
been introduced 1t was bad enough
working day work, now one man is
required to do the work formerly done
by four or five and still the wages
are only so or 10 cents more a day.
The most any machine operator can
make is $500 a day.
"Nut House"-CorrectIy Called
This department is nicknamed the
"nut-house," there is a good deal of
truth in the name because that is just
what it is. With 300 machines all run
ming at the same time in one room is
enough to drive anyone crazy. Every
time that the hammer on one Of these
machines hits, a nail drop out. On
the average each hammer hits 300
times a minute depending on the size
of the nails, and owing to this terrible
noise the workers have to pack their
ears with cotton. There is no chance
to talk to any Of your neighbors Of the
helper, they wouldn't hear you even
If you'd try. Everyone has to make
himself understood by the motion Of
MS hands and arms.
Constant splashing Of oil from the
machines not only covers the ma
chimes creating a heavy grease but it
also covers the workers and, soaks
thru overalls and underwear clear to
the skin, coating the body with oil.
And in this condition the young work
ers go home, no provision is made to
wash up and change clothing.
Each operator runs six and seven
machines for 10 hours on day turn and
1S hours on night turn. Who said
steel workers have an eight-hour day?

There seems to be no salvation for
France anyhow. The British and
United States capitalists are sitting on
the top of the world just now. Even
the British are finding Wall Street an
uncomfortable partner. France may
decide to come to terms with Ger
many or accept a Dawes plan from
the United States. 1t is coming to a
pretty pass when even mighty powers
like France must become the wards
of still greater powers.
TT looks as If the House of Morgan
1 is about to bolster up the waning
fortunes of the Italian fascist dictator
ship, established by the sword and
supported by force, violence and as
sassination, by the few against the
many. One of the most frequently
used objections against the recogni-
ton of Soviet Russia by the United
States, is the fact that a dictatorship
of the workers exists in Russia. This
democracy is opposed to dictatorship!
This is bunk, as the attitude of Wall
Street, alias Washington shows.

THOMAS w. LAMONT of the house
1 Of Morgan, was in Rome recently.
He talked with Mussolini and a few
other fascist brigands. The Hearst
papers are praising Mussolini. Otto
H. Kahn, the banker and art lover, de-
clares that Mussolini is the strong
man Of Europe. This banker also ex-
tolls the Italian people for their
morale. 1t makes a difference which

Work Among Negroes.
A local committee was appointed to
push the work among the Negro
workers and especially toward aiding
in making the American Negro Labor
Congress to be held this summer in
Chicago a success.
Letters have already gone to all
party units asking for connections, in
formation as to discrimination against

rades will visit party units to acquaint
them more intimately with the prob.
lens and means Of bringing the Negro
masses into the Communist movement.
Left Wing in Unions Grows.
In the trade unions the left wing
proceeds with the steady organization
OF its forces. In the carpenters, tn,
district elections take place shortly
and the left wing is battling the Jen-
sen machine and conducting a cam
paign against agreements Of Lands
award type, which the class collabora.
zionist officials are accepting. The
fight against explosions is putting a
more militant spirit into the rank and
file Of the carpenters.
In the machinists where elections
are now going on, the left wing com
mittee is visiting local unions in sup
port Of the Anderson slate against the
reactionary Johnston machine, on the
basis Of agitation against the B. & o.
plan, for amalgamation, against expul

So far votes cast in IL machinist To-
calls in Chicago give Anderson SIT
votes to Johnson's 293. The left wing
in this election will be able to draw
many into support of the left wing or
T. U. E. L. program.
In the needle trades, local union
agitation on the part of the rank and
file is greater than ever before. The
Levin-Hillman policy of czarism, the
rule Of the slugger and knife and sup
preston of union rights, does not in
crease the popularity of the reaction

agitation caused by oppression and

and 1t is feared the men may have

Thousands of persons gathered at
tho mouth of the pit following the
explosion, and rescue squads were
organized with the state department
OF mines in charge.
After more than six hours work.
members of the rescue parties had
not been able to reach any of tho
men. dead or alive.
Rumors OF bomb explosion were
linked up with the fact that the
mine started work on an open shop
basis on October /, 1924. but they
were stoutly denied by officials OF
the Bethlehem corporation.
The prevailing theory is tho ex-
plosion was caused by ignited gas.
In 1916 ten miners lost their lives
in an explosion in the same mine.
The victims OF last nights cxplo-
sion had been at work only a short
while when a rumble was heard, and
then n terrific blast broke loose.
Flames shot thru the mine.
