urday evening at a meeting held at
39th street and Sth avenue, under the

bunk.
Freaks Of Capitalism.
Comrade Miller pointed out that
some of the intruders. in spite of
their being in the ranks of the work
ing class permit themselves to be-
come the tools of the bosses. The fact
that in capitalist countries there are
workers who blindly fight for the in

due to the bosses owning every ave-
nue. of policy. The press, the schools,
the movies, sport organizations and
the church are all spokesman for
the exploiting class and their minds
are poisoned with capitalist propa-
ganda. Comrade Israel Amter who
was the last speaker continued along
the same lines. He produced fact af-
ter fact to show the miserable condi-
tions of the workers and how these
are being made worse by the workers
supporting the bosses organizations
Especially did he get the support of
the audience which consisted of few
hundred workers when he attacked

The enraged iunkers not succeed

cause of the support given the Com
munist speakers clled the police. But
the police only took the names of the
speakers so that in case the fascist
want to prefer charges against the
Communists they will know where to
find them.

provement of relations between en-
ployers and workers, with an absence

constructive thought to the improve
ment of it's work in controlling immi
grafton, aiding labor, and promoting
the public welfare.
Mr.. Davis sketched possible line
of future attack on the problem of
over-production in industry, which
he held responsible for much part
time and seasonal employment of
workers. No mention of the anthra-
cite suspension was made in the re-
port, which covered the fiscal year
ending with last June.
Would Examine Immigrants Aboard
The secretary repeated his recon-
mendations for Legislation to permit
examination abroad of all immi-
grants, upon the system now Operat-
ing in England and Ireland. He ask
ed likewise for more liberal terms Of
retirement on pension to government
employees. and for the construction
of building to house the Labor De-
partment.
AS To general immigration policy,
he repeated recomme ndations for the
establishment of quotas affecting i'm

lean continents, and for enrolment

PROTECTION OF
TIMBER LANDS
Warns That the United States
Will Soon Be Faced With
a Timber Famine

Washington, Dec. 2.-LR-Protec-
ton of the governments timber
lands, revision Of it's reclamation
policy, and pr mpt and sympathetic
study by Congress of the Alaskan
problem, are the chief recommends
tons contained in the annual report
of the Interior Department submitted
to Congress today by Secretary Work.
Administ ration of the department
during the past fiscal year was
shown to have cost $40,137 ,463 less
than the previous one, and savings
of 82,635, 800 were effected in the
last two years.
Recommendations for measures to
protect the timber reserves were bas-
ed on the Secretary's prediction that
at the present rate of consumption
the country will soon be faced with
q timber famine, and as means of
rchabilitating the governments re-
serves he urged Congress to revise
the Timber and Stone Act SO that the
present government acreage would
remain intact for 10 years. This
act, which provides for the outright
sale of public timber land, was pass
ed by Congress almost so years ago
long prior to the adoption of the ma
tional forest policy.
