WHITE GUARD
COSSACKS IN
STRIKE ROLE
Bolsheviks for
Asking Back Pay
Especial to The DAILY wOrksr)

LONDON, Jan. 6. - Fifty-four Co.'S
sack rough riders appearing in
spectacle staged at Holland Park by
exiled officers of the cars army were
dismissed from the company as Boil
sheviki, after they had struck for back
pay. In the company are several men
who were generals in the imperial
army and one is said to have com.
manded the czar's bodyguard.
Holland Park Rink, where the men
have been appearing, was full of ges-
ticulating Russians in strange costum-
es when the police arrived after a
hurry call had been sent. They were
unable to discover any reason for
trouble until an interpreter came, as
all were talking in Russian.
There was tense minute when
General Savitski, in charge of the
arena, went up to Colonel Gameli, the
cossack leader, and dramatically said:
This is nothing but a second revo-
luton. have seen one in Russia and

sack" Colonel Gameli replied, and he
denied that any Of his riders were
Bolsheviki.
But you're leading them down the
wrong road" exclaimed General Savit-
ski.
In other parts of the building cos
sacks were hotly addressing Russian
choir singers and dancers.
The police succeeded in getting the
cossacks to withdraw, and an effort
will be made to settle the controversy
The men declare $4,000 is due them,
while the management states that the
show is cooperative and that, as re-
ceipts have not been large, it is I'M
able to pay more.

Spokane Ku Kluxers
Stage Fight on Hedger
Especial to The Daily worker)

POKANE, Wash, Jan. 6. - The
church crusaders are out for Commits
sioner Hedger's scalp. A few days
ago a gang of sky pilots met and
passed a resolution that they would
back any organization to recall Com
missioner Hedger because there is
some whisky sold in Spokane.
AS no organization would tackle the
job, gang known as "the board of
trade" organized themselves and filed
the necessary papers for the recall
move.
The leading figure in the recall
move is the Rev. c. A. Rexford, pas
tor of the Carbin Park methodist
church. He has gained notoriety in
Spokane thru his former position as
head of the X. K. K, as former chap
lain of the American legion, as chap
lain of the 161st national guard regi-
ment, and as the fighting chaplain"
Of the 91st division during the war.
Hedger was elected this year on
big billboard campaign slogan Of "a
bigger and better Spokane!"

POLISH BISHOP !
PAYS VISIT TO
STEEL WORKERS
Passes in Ponp; Needs
of Workers Ignored !.
BY n. w.
worker Correspondent

NEW CASTLE, Pa, Jan. 6-Arch-
bishop John Cieplak of Poland visit
ed the Polish catholic churches in
this city and nearby steel towns to
bestow his bishoporic blessings upon
the faithful. The steel trust press
.heralded the coming OF
Cieplak for days in advance telling
the public that Cieplak was saved from
death through the timely Intervention
of the United States government
Everyone will remember that Cieplak
while Archbishop at Leningrad was
found guilty of conspiring with the
enemies of the Soviet Republic and
was expelled from that country.
Unlike the biblical entry into Je-
rusalem, the archbishop used a large
sized touring car and was surrounded
with all the ceremony of the church
OF course the long line of unemploy
ed steel workers waiting half frozen
before the mill gates, battering their
feet against the frozen ground, wait
ing for their masters to pin number
on their coats and send them reJoic-
ing (?) into their slave pens, was not
seen by the martyrized archbishop.
The poorly clad children of the work
ers and their lean hungry ill-nourish-
ed bodies were shadows that never
crossed the pathway of the rejoicing
agents of Christ on earth. M
The huddledi up dwellings of the
underpaid and overworked workers
were sights not for their eyes. In
stead the church with all the mumbo
jumbo of the jungle passed on in
state. @e.

BOSS ENDS IN GLOOM
FOR GRATEFUL SLAVES
ey A Worker correspondents

The boss gave a Christmas party
for all the employees which consist
ed of candy and ice cream. This
was during lunch time so that none
Of his time would be lost. After
lunch the workers settled down to
work again for the afternoon but
the boss was so generous he stop
ped the power, and the workers
were so pleased with their boss.
Such a generous boss to give them
a holiday. They called in his little
gir1zwho visited him that day. The
child recited patriotic pieces about
what a wonderful country this is
(for the capitalists.) That lasted I'M
til half past three and then the boss
came in to announce they can have
the afternoon off.
But when they opened their pay
envelopes their Joy ended. They
found to their disappointment that
they had been entertained at their
own expense-their wages had been
docked for the afternoon.

Lumber Production
for 1925 Broke All
Records Since 1916

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 4 Ac-
cording to the totals of weekly soft
wood reports made to the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association
by approximately $50 of the. larger
mills, the lumber production of the
United States was slightly larger in
1925 than for any year since 1916.
These mills reported production
If 12,42S,SO9,277 feet, as compared
with 11,S28,94S,S47 feet in 1924; and
slightly more than for 1928, hitherto
the peak year since the beginning OF
the world war.
Applying the accepted ratio of pro-
duction between the reporting and the
non-reporting mills, it sis calculated
that the total production has been be-
tween 37,00O,O00,O00 and $4,000, OO0,-
900 feet. Graphically stated, this
would make over 100000 ordinary
dwelling houses.

-bearable if they only would really get
man a job.
The position offered is painted in
bright colors to lure the victim on.
He pays the required fee, and they
send him out with a card sealed in
an envelope to his prospective mas
ter. But when he arrives there he
finds to his disappointment that the
working conditions are the opposite
of what had been claimed by the ag-
ency.
Most Of these bosses share in the
profits of the agent and after keeping
the victim on the job for two or three
days make things so miserable for
him that he has to quit.
The deluded victim then goes back
to the employment agency and after
notifying the agent (who in the mean
time has sent another one to the same
place. what has happened, he has to
wait days before he gets one or two
ffths of the fee he paid. More often
he gets nothing; the agent telling him
that if he quit his job it was his own
fault. f''o

TAX REFORM
COMES FROM
new VOTERS
Japanese Government
Plans Capital Tax

TOXIC, Jan. 6. - Ten million new
voters in Japan, added to the three
million who were hitherto the only
voters allowed, may be the fish for
which the present administration is
batting the hook with taxation re-
forms, promising reduction or aboli-
ton of many consumption taxes, and
a raising of the taxes on the wealthy.
Hits Large Estates.
In many public speeches the finance
minister, Hamaguchi, has set forth the
tax reform program of the present
government.
He proposes doing away with stamp
taxes upon drugs and patent medi-
cines, the tax heretofore collected on
railway, steamship, and street car
tickets, the tax upon shoyu, the sauce
used every day by every Japanese,
the income tax on small incomes, and
ito lower tax rate upon small land
holdings, with revision of the land
assessments that will provide a long
needed equity between the small prop
erty owner and the owners of the
large feudal estates. Thru these elm
nations and revisions downward he
estimates a shrinkage of some S0,-
100000 yen ($4O.OOO,OOO) in federal
revenue.
Asks Tax on Capital.
To provide this he proposes heavier
income taxes on large incomes;
heavier Inheritance taxes on large
estates; higher taxes on imported
wines and liquors; an unearned in
crement tax on real estate trans
fers; an assessed value on big estates
for taxation purposes, and, most rad
ical of all, tax upon capital.
