Mellon Would Repeal
Tax Publicity Law
to Shield Wealthy
Especial to The Daily workor.)

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Adminis-
tration officials indicated the treasury
department would ask congress to re-
peal the publicity clause following the
decision of the U. S Supreme Court
upholding the law. This would be in
line with the known opposition of
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon, who
himself was hurt by the publicity as
it revealed his huge income, as head
of the aluminium trust.
The treasury department which
along with Coolidge, is opposed to the
law announced that the 1924 income
tax payments will be released for pub
LEGATION some time between August 1
and September Is. Officials explained
that returns both for the calendar
year OF 1924 and for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1925, will be included
in the payments published. 1t was
charged that undue delay had been
permitted in the hope that the sup
rene court would hold the law un-
constitutional.
1t is harder for the millionaires to
dodge income tax payments then pub
licity is allowed.

CARMEN DEMAND
BETTER WORKING +.
CONDITIONS, PAY
Corporation Would Re-
duce Their Wages

The Chicago street car men will not
vote on the wage controversy between
the Chicago Surface Lines company
and the union, at their meeting in
Garments Hall Monday night, William
Quinlan, president Of the union, told
the DAILY WORKER. The contract
between the union and the utilities
corporation expires on May 80, and
the union has demanded a five-cent
an hour increase in wages. The Sur
face Lines made counterproposal
that the wages be reduced five cents
an hour In the new contract. The
union meets on Monday night to con-
slider the new contract.
That a new agreement will be reach
ed without permitting the street car
workers to vote to fight for their de-
mands, which include better condi-
lions as well as the wage increase,
was indicated by Quinlan, who told
the DAILY WORKER, president
Blair of the Chicago Surface Lines
will be in town Wednesday, and l ex-
pect him to telephone me. l will not
take the matter to the men Monday
night for vote but will discuss the
agreement with Blair"
The $4,000 employees Of the com
pany' voted three weeks ago for the
increase in wages. They also asked
that night runs be closed at six o'clock
in the morning and for the Inaugural
ton of an insurance plan to be paid
for by the company.
Quinlan declared a strike would not
be called, Until the men have had
an opportunity to vote on the pro-
posal Of the company"

labor members or the CIVIC
Federation were very much
worried at the prospect of A. A
Purcell, president of the Am
sterdam International and leader OF
the British unions In the Ang1o-Rus-
sian committee for international
Unity of all unions, coming as dele
gate.
Easley announces that Hugh Frayne
general organizer Of the American Fee
deration Of Labor, and Peter j. Brady,
president of Federation Bank In New
York City, are going to explain the
danger Of getting breath Of sense
and solidarity into the American la
Dor movement to a meeting of the
startled members Of the Civic Fede-
ration.
To Mobilize Labor Takers
The Inference Of Easly is that the
two mentioned labor takers and all
the faker family would be modified
by the American capitalist to prevent
the British delegation from making
any speeches to American unionists
in favor Of the uniting in one great
international organization all the un-
ions of the world, upon basis OF the
class struggle for the overthrowal OF
capitalism.
In his statement to the New York
Times, Mr.. Hasley quotes at length
from the DAILY WORKER, but does
not indicate what measures, whether
of deportation, Imprisonment or
'sKarolyi gag" shall be used on the
sedate representatives Of several mil
lions of British union men to keep
them from bringing the message Oh
unity to American labor.
A Mean Dilemma
Another angle of the dilemma Is
the fact that both right and left wings
of British labor is to be represented
and while the open shoppers and labor
takers can get along aminably with
Ex-Premier Macdonald, the difficulty
of shutting out Purcell of the left
wing while admitting Macdonald and
his kind, is sure to cause an interna-
tional scandal If carried out
The world seems, to Mr. Easley, to
be controlled by malevolent deity
bent on making trouble for American
capitalism.

TERROR AGAINST
ESTHONIAN REDS
Workers Party Paper!
Barred from RevaI

NEW YORK, May 26-The "Uus
Ilm," the Esthonian organ of the
Workers (Communist) Party has re-
ceived the following communication
from the United States post office:
This ONCE is advised by the postal
administration OF Esthonia thru the
office Of the second postmaster gen.
eral that copies of the "Uus lin" ed
tied by the American Esthonian So
ciety, this city, is prohibited by the
sentence Of the court of Justice for a
period Of two years and that in execu-
ton Of said sentence and in conform
ity with Article IS, section of the
Postal Convention of Madrid of 1920,
all numbers of the weekly mentioned,
upon arriving in Ethonia will be con-
fiscated.
please take due notice of the in
formation furnished regarding the
prohibition against copies of your pub
LEGATION addressed for delivery in
Esthonia
Respectfully yours,
-. ]. Kelly, Postmaster"
This communication proves con.
clusively that the United States gov
eminent is acting in alliance with the
hangman government of Esthonia in
order to keep the workers of Esth-
onia ignorant of the Communist
Party's program. The United States
government believes that, in this way,
it will keep down the revolution in
Esthonia.
The Esthonian government has
good white guard agent in the Esthon-
ian ambassador, Professor Antonius
Pip, who is publishing a white guard
paper in this country and doing
everything in his power to caluminate
the Communist Party and to distort
the intentions of the Communists.
Afraid Of Truth.
This persecution OF the Commun-
ist press will not keep the Commun-
ist press from operating The perse-
cution in itself proves that the gov
eminent of Esthonia and of the
United States are afraid to let the
workers know the truth of the system
under which they live and suffer. This
joint persecution is in line with the
alliance Of all capitalist governments
against the Communist parties, Just
as they are conducting a joint cam
paign against Soviet Russian and the
Communist International. The "Uus
lin" will continue its work, despite
this decision.

Removed Thousands

The capitalist press has been howl
ing for a drastic use of the powers of
the minister of labor to cut down the
numbers on the dole, and Sir S. H.
Maitland the minister in question, has
removed eleven to twelve thousand
from the register of those entitled to
draw benefit. Solvency is to be
secured at the expense of the most
poverty stricken workers. These in
turn it is hoped to use to break all
the strikes that are bound to occur in
resistance to the new offensive being
prepared against miners, engineers,
railway workers, etc. Fortunately the
unemployed are rousing themselves a
little, street demonstrations are be-
coming more common, and there is
talk Of another hunger march on Lon
don, to compel the conservative gov
eminent to keep its hands off the dole.

LONDON,-(By Mail) -Churchilps
libe at the unemployed as learning
to qualify for the dole" Is more than
a piece Of ill-mannered abuse. It is
symtomatic Of the intention of the
conservative government to give ear
to the shrieks Of its supporters and
begin the offensive on the dole at the
same time as they start the offensive
on the wages; The period from 1919
on, has shown tendency on the part
Of the unemployed, especially those in
receipt Of any benefit at all, to take
the side Of any section of workers on
strike.
This healthy attitude on the part of
the unemployed is Of course holly re-
sented by the capitalists. Only fear
Of agitation has prevented the wiping
out of the dole hitherto, but now that
the labor government has prepared
the way for the conservative reaction
aries there is going to be a tightening
Of the screw on the unemployed. This
can be affected without any new legis-
laion, the mandate OF the minister of
labor enables him to erase practically
every person in receipt of what is
known as uncovenanted benefit, that
is benefit over and above what the de-
ductions from wages while working
entitle recipient to draw.
Churchill's budgeteering prepares
the way for dividing the workers
along the line of covenanted and un-
covenanted benefit receivers, and
bases his new insurance proposals on
a solvent unemployment fund, which
can be secured when the unemployed
drawing benefit number not more than
800 900.
