MORE OPPOSITION
TO HIS TAX CUT
Leaders Attitude Is
Against Plan

WASHINGTON, Nov. 80. While
the tax breach between President
Coolidge and congress is widening
republican leaders have began throw
ing their support behind a proposal to
use the expected $95O,OOO,O0O treasury
surplus in reducing Americas world
war debts.
This plan, proposed a year ago by
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon but
revived recently by the insurgent bloc
Of the senate, found approval todsy
among the administrations own lead
ers in congress. 1t was endorsed not
only by Senator Smoot, chairman of
he senate finance committee but by
Senator David A. Reed, frequently
called "the treasury spokesman" in
The senate, Senator James A. Watson,
and Senator Arthur Capper.
Would Benefit All.
If the whole surplus were used to
atire part of Americas war debts,
t was said, the plan would save Amer
can taxpayers approximately st5,000.-
900 a year. Those sponsoring the plan
declared this saving would render a
benefit to all taxpayers.
Republican opposition to the Coo
lidge plan to use the surplus as q re-
bate on taxes this year, conferred chief
ly around belief that this is a banner
year Of prosperity out of which the
government is getting a maximum OF
revenue from existing taxes. II the
prosperity should not continue thruout
1927, it was said, a reduction of taxes
now would bring deficit to the treas
ury, If prosperity continues, 1t was
added taxes can be reduced in 1928.
Democrats Favor Full Reduction.
The democrats, however, announced
open warfare some time ago on this
republican reasoning, declaring it
political subterfuge intended only to
postpone necessary tax reduction until
the eve of the 1928 presidential cam
paign. The democrats declared they
would press their plan for an imme-
date reduction Of taxes all down the
line.
No Time For Il.
''It wouldn't surprise me II there
was no tax reduction legislation at
this session." said Smoot. There is
so much other and more pressing leg
islation, including farm relief"
Reed, who frequently speaks for the
treasury on the senate floor. voiced
the same opinion. So too did Watson

START DRIVE TO
ORGANIZE KNIT
GOODS WORKERS
New York Union Calls
Meeting for Dec. 2
Especial to Tho Daily worker)


NEW YORK, Nov. SO.-The Knit
Goods Workers Union, Local So, has
launched drive to organize the 10000
unorganized knit goods workers of
New York.
The need for organization is strongly
felt by the workers, whose conditions
are lower than almost any other trade
in New York. The average wage is
about $40 week. Thousands of knit
goods workers, mostly young girls, av-
erage much less. The hours of work
are from 4S to So. The workers stand
many abuses and are speeded up to
keep in time with the constantly i'm
proved machinery.
Industry Is Prosperous.
The knitted trade is very prosper
GUS. During the last few years it has
gone thru wide reorganization. Hun
dreds Of small concerns went cut Of
business. A large number of hand
workers were driven out of the trade
by the new circular machine.
The industry has thus become con-
solidated, while the demand for knitted
garments, sport wear for both winter
and summer, and all kinds of sweater
novelties is growing constantly, in pro-
portion to the swollen profits of the
bosses. The Importance of the indus
try has increased tremendously. 1t is
now the fourth largest industry in
Brooklyn.
Workers Demand Share.
Local SIS is determined to win a
share Of this prosperity for the work
ers, and will fight for better condi-
tons, higher wages and less hours.
Every Worker in Union"
The union has adopted the slogan,
Every Knit Goods Worker a Union
Member" An intensive organization
campaign has been launched. An or
ganization committee has been formed
which is already showing results.
Mass Meeting Dec. 2.
The first big gun in the campaign
to organize the unorganized knit goods
workers will be fired by mass meet
ing called by the union for Thursday,
Dec. 2, at Manhattan Lyceum, 66-6S
E. Fourth street, New York City, 1880
p. m.
Speakers prominent in the labor
movement will address the workers,
and the conditions and plan for or
ganizing the unorganized will be dis
cussed.
The Knit Goods Workers Union
calls upon all knit goods workers to
attend the mass meettlg and to help
organize powerful union.

shanghai In suspense.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 30.-Shanghai is
in a state of suspense pending the
arrival of the Cantonese troops push
ing down the Yangtze valley and up
from the south thru Kiangsi and Che
hang provinces. Fengtien troops un-
der Chang Chungchang have arrived
at Marking north of Shanghai and are
expected to dispute possession Of the
treaty port with the soldiers under
Gen. Chang Kai Shek, the Cantonese
oommander-in-chief.
There is apprehension in foreign
quarters here that the Cantonese will
begin soon to put into effect their
policy of non-recognition of customs
reaties with foreign powers. The
British are particularly alarmed over
strikes in customs offices Of various
treaty ports. 1t is expected that the
Cantonese will, in the ports under
their control, move shortly to take
over the customs offices from the for
eigners.
In 1928 Sun Vat Sen attempted to
take over the customs accruing to
Kwang-tung province, in the South,
but controlled by the powers. At that
time, fourteen gunboats representing
six nations were rushed to Canton
and landed large military contin-
gent to prevent It.
The feeling among the Shanghai
masses is decidedly In sympathy with
the Cantonese. Protest meetings have
been held recently against the declar-
ed intention of the militarists to bring
the dreaded Shantung troops into
Shanghai.

Flynn Goes West to
Speak on international
Labor Defense Tour


Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, national
chairman of International Labor De-
Tense, and one Of the best known
figures in the American labor move
ment, is proceeding to the west in her
national tour for the International La
Dor Defense.
Comrade Flynn has already spoken
in a number Of the mining towns of
Pennsylvania and is making a swing
around the circle to the Pacific coast.
1t is planned to have comrade Flynn
cover the chief cities along the Pacific
coast, as far north as Vancouver, B.
c. From there she will cover the
country in greater detail, speaking in
numerous cities on the way thru to
New York.
Considerable interest has been
shown in these meetings, for Flynn
is known not only as an excellent
speaker but as one who has actively
participated in the American labor
movement and its struggles for
many years. Her work in the Law
renee strike OF 1912 is still remem-
bered by many workers in the coun-
try, as well as her activity in the
1913 Passaic strike and in the great
movement OF the miners in the Mesaba
range. Her most recent work has
been in the Passaic textile strike
which is still going strong. Her close
association with the strikers and their
movement makes her especially fitted
to speak Of this struggle which has
secured the support OF the entire
American labor movement Flynn will
discuss especially the persecution of
the strikers and the numerous frame
ups which have been perpetrated by
the instruments OF the mill owners in
New Jersey.
Her itinerary for the coming weeks
is as follows: Dec. /, Aguliar, Colo;
2, Trinidad, Gallo; 8 to s, Los Angeles;
. to 10, San Francisco; IA, Eureka;
i6, PortlandS II. Astoria; IS, Tacoma;
10, Kirkland (afternoon); 10, Seattle
evening"; 90 Mt Vernon; 21,
Spokane; 20, saltese, Mont; 20, Great
Falls, Mont.
From there she will proceed to the
east, speaking in as many cities and
towns as possible. Organizations wish.
ing to arrange meetings, particularly
local units OF International Labor De-
Tense are urged to communicate with
the |. l.. ID. at 20 S. LINCOLN street.

He said that regarding the question
of sterilization, we must however
make distinctions; the latest develop
ments prove the upward movement OF
partial sterilization, particularly in
Germany.
Naturalization.
Dwelling on the problem of ration
alization, Bukharin emphasized that
neutral naturalization of industry is
impossible, it must be capitalistic or
socialistic and it is therefore not enuf
to say: The Communists are only
against the consequences of rationale
cation. OF course, he went on, the
Communists are not against the ma.
chine. This would be stupid. But the
Communists must formulate the ra-
tionalization problem clearly to attract
the masses.
They must point out the technical
and social aspects of naturalization
and show that in capitalist states the
preponderant aspects are social (dis-
missal Of workers, intensifcation of
production at their expense) while in
the Soviet Union, the center of gravity
is the technical aspect technical i'm
provements raising the workers
standard of life.)
Party Slogans.
In this connection Bukharin pro-
posed the following slogans to guide
the activities of the Communist
parties: Slight Against Capitalist
Sterilization" Against all Worsening
of the Situation of Labor" For a
Higher Living Standard and Higher
Wages" For the Socialistic Organiza-
tion Of Economy" and "Socialistic, not
Capitalistic Naturalization"

party who had defended its strategy
during the last great parliamentary
crisis, Bukharin pointed out that Sc.
mard himself recognized the reproach
to the Communist party of France for
its failure to grasp the most favorable
moment to launch slogans which
might better have attracted the
French masses when Poincare took
power
Answering Riese (of the German op-
position) who, Bukharin said, had
spoken only of secondary questions
and baselessly accused the German
Communist Party, the chairman EN-.
phasized the necessity for more prac-
teal attention to the question of Boil
shevization and consolidation of the
parties.
Unity Will Win.
He concluded his address amid the
singing of the Internationale with the
following declaration:
Our own consolidation is a neces-
sary condition for the winning of the
masses, the world situation is decided
ly favorable as witness the revolution
in China and the great strike in Eng
land, the leftward drift of the masses
means we are advancing. Unity Of
the Communist parties, unity of the
Communist International and unity of
the whole working class is necessary
for the victory of the world revolu-
ton"
Against White Terror.
After hearing an appeal from Inter-
national Red Aid on relief to class
war prisoners thruout the world, the
plenum adopted resolutions against
the white terror in Poland and the
Balkans. In a short address, Kuusinen
urged more detailed study of the prac-
teal tasks of the Communist parties
outlined in his report and that these
questions be studied in committee.
