of the movement, and OF where the
blame lies.
In addition to a very important, pro-
posal put forward by representative
of a number Of the most prominent
German trade unions, and which
would provide for complete reorgan-
ization and amalgamation into four
teen great industrial unions, there are
a large number of resolutions and
proposals calling for national and in
ternational unity; for readmission Of
all trade unionists who have been ex-
PEELED for their political views; for
the sending Of a delegation from the
German labor movement to inyesti-
gate conditions in Russia; for admis-
sion of the Russian trade unions into
the Amsterdam International; urging
the formation Of a single alI-in inter-
national trade union movement; and
welcoming the formation OF the Anglo
Russian Committee.
Reaction Obstinate.
1t is difficult to say at this moment
what kind of reception these different
proposals and resolutions Will have
when the congress meets. Altho there
is no doubt that the unity movement
is growing in Germany as well as in
other countries, there are still many
difficulties and much resistance to be
overcome before those who represent
the workers will admit openly that it
is only thru the greatest possible
unity nationally and internationally,
on a revolutionary basis, that the Ger
man working class, as well as that
Iof other countries, viii be able to
achieve its aims.
It is to be hoped that the delegates
who come together In BresIau will un-
derstand that the eyes. not only of
the German workers, but also Of those
in other countries, who fully realize
how much depends upon the attitude
Of the German movement, viii be up
on them May they fully realize how
great Will be their responsibility.
May Be Significant
A declaration OF the German trade
union movement in favgr Of nationais
and international unity, or a decisive
step in that direction, would mean
the breakdown Of the forces which
are keeping the workers divided in
Iternationally and would also be the
beginning of the end of the capitalist
regime.
The British trade union movement
marching hand in hand with the Rus
sian movement is already a erraat
promise for the future The German
working class joining them in their
efforts for International unity and in
ternational working class revolution
would mean the fuldIIment Of that

PLAN MERCER TO

The possibility of laying off $4,000
Of the 10000 workers employed on
the railroads of Canada is a feature of
the plan to merge the Canadian Ma

way. This appeals especially to the
financial interests backing the attempt
to eliminate a wei operated nation.

Says the Wall Street Journal: "Slic-
ing OF labor costs, particularly oper-
ating labor, would be the most impor-
tant item in savings resulting from
merger. The Canadian National en-
ploys 100000 and the Canadian Pacific
over $4,000. The payroll of the Ma
tional railways last year was S143,242,-
026 and the average number of en-
ployes 9S,S75, making the average an
nual labor cost per employee $1,448.
Using the estimate that the two rail.
road systems comprising over $4,000
miles of road can be operated with
about 10000 instead of the approx
mately 10000 now employed, there
would be reduction of s72, 400, 900 in
the labor costs"

to the operating unions by this threat

The Tobacco Industry
and Taxes

The aggregate tax paid by
the tobacco business is with
one exception, income tazes, the
largest item of internal revenue
the federal government re-
ceives. Last (fiscal) year It
amounted to 5000, Ola, o50.A.
OF this enormous amount OF
money the cigarette industry
paid 182,715, 1853, or nearly
two-thirds OF the total tax paid
by the entire tobacco business.
We believe you will appreci-
ate that when nearly fifty
cents of every dollar paid by
you for cigarettes goes to the
government, you must receive
in cigarettes a value in return
for your money that is rarely
given in any commodity.
That the public appreciates
this great value is shown by the
enormous increase in the con-
sumption of cigarettes.

About
Taxes
on
Cigarettes

TO the general public, we
believe it will be surpris-
ing to learn that nearly half Of
tohat they pay for cigarettes goes
TO the government for tGres.
The internal revenue stamp
on a package Of twenty Lucky
Strike cigarettes costs you six
cents. On a 75c tin Of one hum
dred the revenue stamp costs
you thirty cents.
So nearly one halt OF what
you pay for cigarettes is spent
BIZ you for taxes.
Thisis certainly the heaviest
tax on an article Of daily and
universal consumption.
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1925-05-12
Super-quality

Only by immense volume can
we produce such an aristocratic
cigarette as Lucky Strike at
such a democratic price.
It's quality is supreme be-
cause it has that costly extra
process, toasting, which i'm
proves the flavor and adds to
the taste of even the finest
tobaccos that are used in Lucky
Strikes.
