TAXES MAKE BIG DENT

Twelve and Half Cents Used to

By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, November 23.--
Twelve and half cents out of every
dollar of the combined income of the
American people during the past year
went into taxes. according to Il study
In taxation made by the National
Industrial Conference Board. The to-
tai burden Of Federal State and local
taxes has nearly doubled in proportion
to national income since 1913. the
board says, rising from 90 per cent
III 1913 to l2.5 per cent in 1924
While the increase of taxation in
proportion to national income in 1924
in part was due to Increased State and
local tax levies, it was in part, how
ever. also due to a decrease in ma
tional income during that year" the
board points out. The national in
come in 1924 is estimated at S63 600 =
000 900, as against S65 900 900 900 in
1928, representing Il decrease of per
cent for the year Expressed in dol

AUSTRIA.

AUSTRIA - The Austrian social
democrats have become involved in
the same sort Of unclean mess as
their German and Swedish and Dutch
brethren. A scandal is coming to
light, the Sklarz scandal, which prom
ises edifying revelations quite up to
the standards Of the Barmat affair.
With the aid of the social-democratic
ministers, Sklarz and his accomplices
stole about 300 milliard Austrian
crowns which they used to further a
number Of crooked deals. The min
listers most deeply involved in the af.
fair are Matasia and Schueff.
The social-democratic press has not
breathed word about the matter, but
the Communist Vienna Rote Fahne
has been making up for the omission.
At the same time that they are pro-
tecting these grafters, the social-demo-
cratic authorities are using the forces
of the state against the Communists.
Just lately they raided the secretariat
Of the Austrian Communist Party, and
also seized the Red Soldier, the Com
munist paper for distribution in the
army.
The Communist Party, which has
just been recognized on a frmer ba-
sis, recently held a great demonstra-
ton against the Ramek cabinet, and
against the expulsion of the Polish
comrade, Baral, condemned to death
in Poland, who has been living in
Vienna for the past four years.

ter attack by leading organ of Ger

as fraught with the gravest danger
for capitalist interests. Speaking Of
the new battle facing the workers
Comrade Fischer pointed out that the
much-heralded project of the trade
union bureaucrats for a referendum
in connection with the eight-hour day
had vanished into thin air, that they
were trying to dupe the masses by
going thru the motions of formal re.
sistance, but that this, like their whole
opposition to the Luther government
was the purest bluff.
Welheim, worker in the Siemens
shops, and deputy to the Prussian
landtag, recalled the conditions of
revolution under which the shop COM
mittees were first brot into being, and
showed the role that these councils
might play in cases of strike and
political crisis.

Inns great metal concerns. He de-
clared that many workers now per.

cial-democrats. The Ebert trial had
finally opened their eyes. In the
huge establishment where he worked
there had been no melting Of the shop
committees for a year and three

BULGARIA

BELGRADE-Th relentless hunt
ing down and persecution of the
Communists and the Peasants Party
by the Bulgarian government, and the
utter impossibility of carrying on any
legal action Of any sort whatsoever,
has resulted in the flight en- masse
Of workers, peasants and intelIectu-
ais to the mountains, from which, or
ganizd in "tchetes," they are carry
ing on unceasing guerilla warfare
against the government. These
"tchetes" are composed Of groups of
30 to 80 men, organized on a military
basis, under the leadership of an
elected commander. A systematic
struggle against the fascists and the
government is being carried on by
the "tchetes," weakening and disor-
ganizing the government apparatus,
and in these fighting groups the
masses have a real and effective wea-
pom against their oppressors.
Bands of this sort have been
formed in all parts Of Bulgaria, and
the government has never yet sue
ceeded in capturing any Of them.
The peasants and workers aid them
in every possible way, thus render.
ing the governments pursuit of them
difficult in the extreme. Recently the
government adopted new method
in its efforts to capture these revolu-
tonary bands, proclaiming a reward
Of 100000 to 100000 leva for every
member Of the "tchete" taken. The
Bulgarian government has already ap-
propriated 20 million leva for this
purpose.

ton:
We renew our proposal for a Joint

The delegation of the Federation of
Knights Of Labor demands to be al.
lowed to participate in the work of
the congress, and the right to speak
IN defense Of the stand taken by the
miners organized in the national Fed
Grafton Of the Knights of Labor ="
Upon the return of the delegation
with the answer of the refornist
chIefs, the congress Of the Knights
OF Labor launched an appeal to all
Belgian workers, and particularly TO
the miners, to support the proposals
Tor united resistance that they had
adopted; calling attention to the prop
uganda carried on by the committee
OF action Communists and KNIGHTS
of Labor for preparing the miners
for united resistance against the
mine-owners, and attacking the re-
formists who ignored the proposal for

But Accept Wage Cuts.
The militant elements having been
excluded from the congress by the
Miners Union the chiefs had no diff
ncuity In getting the delegates to &C
cept on behalf of the miners they
represented the new per cent wage
cut announced by the mine-owners
1t is not long since the bureaucrats
OF the Miners Union forced the Bel
gian miners to accept an 8 per cent
wage-cut by sabotaging the grea
Borinage strike, which lasted for
three months, and in which the min
ers displayed such a bitter fighting
spirit and such steady resistance that
the governor declared martial law.

pected against this latest piece of
treachery.
