ECONOMY PLAN"
AFFECTS WORKERS
HIT BY III. {. l..

Washington, Feb. is.-While con-
gress is welding the economy AZ on
other wage proposals the y tai EN-
ployes find their wage increase bill
caught in a jam between the house
and senate. The lawmakers are
wrangling over the constitutional
right of each branch to originate the
bill.
Millions upon millions are voted
without discussion, but the men and
women who are paid salaries ranging
from 81 800 downward receive moth
ing, though living costs continue up
ward.
The latest refusal to increase wages
was made by a house committee in re-
ieeting the plea of employees of the
botanic gardens, library of congress,
the office of the architect of the capt.
tol, the superintendent of documents,
and other bureaus and departments.
With practically no discussion con
gress voted $150,000,000 as a refund
to wealthy taxpayers whom, treasury
officials announce failed to interpret
the intricate income tax law correctly,
and who paid excess income taxes.
These decisions are made by officials
of the income tax bureau after hear
ings with attorneys of the individuals
interested. The workers are not ques-
tioning the correctness of these
awards, but they point out that the
word of treasury official is taken In
matters involving millions Of dollars
while the widest publicity and appeals
for a living wage fail to bring relief.
1t has been charged on the floor of
the house and in Washington news
papers that some one has misinformed
the president on government wage in
creases since before the war. The
chief executive recently declared that
rates for government employees has
been increased $614 per year since
July |, 1913. This is technically true,
but the increases went to highly paid
employees.
An editorial writer in one of the
local newspapers "unhesitatingly ex-
presse the opinion that of the $4,000
employees of the federal government
in Washington, more than $4,000 are
today being paid not over 1855 year
above the pre-war average salary of
$1,13 annually, while the great bulk
of the 1914 increase has gone to the
other 10000"
1t is not denied that he 1866 annual
increase that this writer refers to has
been taken by landlords and real
estate men, while these $1,000 en-
ployes are compelled to meet other
increased living costs with a salary
that was set more than decade ago.

Mine Deaths Continue

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The number
of mine deaths per tons of coal mined
increased in 1924, according to the
United States bureau of mines.
The total number of deaths were n
less than the previous year, but the
production of coal was less. The bu-
reau shaws that the 1881 deaths in
1924 represented a fatality rate of
APT per million tons of coal produced
as compared with a rate of 3.74 per
million tons in 1923 based on 2,45S
deaths.

ROBERT STRICKER URGES
ZIONIST CONGRESS- TO OP-
POSE RUSSIAN COLONIAL
TION.
Startles Delegates With Revelation on
Hebrew University Curriculum
(Jewlsh Telegraphlc Agency.)

Vienna. - The plan of starting
Jewish colonization work in Soviet
Russia was severely attacked at yes
terday's session of the Zionist Con-
eress by Engineer Robert Stricker,
former member of the Austrian par
lament and well known Zionist leader,
"The plan of Jewish colonization
work in Soviet Russia is directed
against the Zionist movement just as
it is against Great Britain" Mr..
Stricker stated, urging the Congress
as representative of the Jewish people
to take n definite attitude against the
project. The speaker criticised DR..
Weizmann for his willingness to turn
over to Louis Marshall, Felix NJ. War
burg and their followers large meas
ure of control in the Jewish Agency
despite their apparent unwillingness
to share the financial responsibility
with the Zionists with regard to the
upbuilding of Palestine.
when a report was published a
year ago that Louis Marshall had
pledged to DR.. Chain Weizmann that
sum of S5,OOO,O00 would be raised
in the United States for reconstruc-
ton work in Palestine, Mr.. Marshall
FASTENED to deny this report How
ever, when the question of Jewish
colonization work in the Crimea came
up the sum of $15,00O,0O0 was imme-
diately decided upon. If Dr. Weiz-
mann wishes, as he stated, to destroy
political and social illusions, why does
he not put an end to the Jewish
Agency business, which is not even
an illusion but fiction?" Mr.. Stricker
exclaimed.
A sensation was hurled at the Con-
gress when Mr.. Stricken made the
revelation that the Zionist Executive
had decided against the inclusion of
Bible criticism in the curriculum of
the Institute of Jewish studies at the
Hebrew University in Jerusalem be-
cause Baron Edmund de Rothschild
had expressed this wish. "Should We"
Mr.. Stricker demanded, turn over
scientific and spiritual standards of
the highest institution of learning of
the Jewish world to the whim of a
magnate whose love for Palestine we
revere but whose demands in this di-
rection Of national pride should have
dictated to US to repudiate?" He also
criticised DR.. Weizmann for having
allowed the Board of Governors of the
Hebrew University to be composed
entirely on non-Zionists and to allow
the Zionist organization to be without
any influence in an institution which
owes its existence to Zionist initia-
tive.

the Christian masses TO the Jews,
which, because Of recent events in Rus

been frequent regrettable incidents
against the Jews, has been given new
cause by his act of tearing Christian
schools away from Christian hands.
