Labor Lured to West;
Thousands Are Idle

Los Angeles, Cal, April 2S.-This
city is paying for a frenzied campaign
to increase its population by luring
people here through devices of real
estate men and spectators. ldlenesS

has resulted in a general disregard
Of law.
There can be no denial of the fact
mat an amazing number of men are
unable to find work in Los Angeles, y
says the Southern California Labor
fIeSs, They tramp the streets day
alter day, and sleep wherever they
can Thousands of them are hungry.
Many Of them are filled with hatred
against the agencies which lured them
To southern California through mis-
representation. Lying literature de-
Pellng in glowing language oppor-
IIunliies which await all who come to
Los Angeles brought them here. They
were deceived. Thousands-yes, tens
ol tnousands--of men are hungry and
desperate in this city today.
The big men, so-called, of Los
angeles, are too busy trying to in
crease its population; it would be far
better for them, and for the city, were
'ney to devote some of their attention
10 providing employment at living
or better still, saving wages. Were
'oey to do this, Los Angeles no longer

L. S. Helps Plutes
Fight Tax Publicity

Washing. April 2S.-plutocrats
and profiteers who want to hide the
amount OF their wealth from the pee
pie have finally reached the United
States supreme court, with the De
partmont of Justice as their counsel
and defender.
Under u statute specifically enact
ed by the Congress TO secure pun
licity of income tax returns, certain
newspapers published lists Of tax
payers with the amount of taxes paid.
Some persons who were reputed 10
be wealthy turned out to be poor
on the basis of their income tax re
turns. Others who were regarded as
people of modest means confessed
that they belonged to the wealthy
class.
Big business resented the pub
licity and fought it in the courts.
The government backed up the
profiteers from the beginning and
now undertakes TO persuade the su-
preme court TO outlaw the publicity.
On what ground? The constitution!
The department of justice holds
that the statute requiring the com
missioner of internal revenue to make
available to public inspection lists
containing the names of tax payers
and the amounts paid by each person
does not mean available for printing
or publishing and maintains that the
newspapers which published the lists
violated the freedom of press provis-
ion of the constitution and outraged
the constitutional rights of those who
don't want the amount OF fh6fr taXes
made known to their fellow citizens.

Nom n-UniOnist Pays
Lower Wage Scale

Toledo, Ohio, April 2S.-The reason
trade unionism is opposed by certain
employers is indicated by William z.
Clark, president of the American Flint
Glass Workers union. He compares
union wages with rates paid by the
Macbeth Evans company at its Ma
rion, Ind, plant.
The union schedule for work on
No. l electric bulb is S4.20 per thou
sand, while the anti-union firm pays
$148. In a list Of II articles the non
union price averages more than 220
per cent less than the union rate. In
some instances the figures are 50 and
$213.
President Clark also points out that
the Macbeth company works longer
hours than union plants.
"The old cry" said the trade union
official. has been that the employers
want to get away from dictation by
the factory committee, that they want
to manage their own business, ETC
Where there is no factory committee
to speak for the workers, the forego-
ing is the result
