LONDON, March 80. A fleet Of

Whether these machines will find
their first use In the war which the
capitalist groups would like to carry
on openly against the Soviet Union
will depend upon the working class
itself. In fact, the first use may be
against the workers Of this very
country if the labor crisis expected

Railroad wages in 1926 totaled
$4,000, 1O7,3S4 compared with S2,S67,-
564,SO2 in 1924 and $3,742, 4S6,936 in
1920. Total wages Of railroad workers
have been cut sS42,379,552 or about
221h per cent since 1920. In the same
period the receipts Of the railroads
from traffic have increased about
$S,0OO,O0O in spite of rate cuts.
The average years pay of a rail-
road employe in 1925 was 81, $40. This
includes the high salaried executives
as well as the low paid section hands.
1t was $1,624 in 1926, $1,619 in 1928
and $3.50 in 1920. The wage reduc-
ton since 1920 approximates 10 per
cent.
If we consider only the wage earn
ers paid on an hourly basis the 1925
average was $1,57O. To earn this the
workers averaged ISIS hours Of work
including 1913 hours overtime. For
their regular years straight-time work
they received an average of $1,395.
With all kinds Of skimping this would
just about provide the lowest subsis-
tence standard to a family of five.

over BROOKHART
Insurgent Bloc Prepares
for Attack

WASHINGTON, March 30 Driven
into political corner, the insurgent
bloc Of the senate prepared today for
momentous battle to save Senator
Smith w. Brookhart, republican, of
Iowa, his seat.
Facing an uphill task in overthrow
ing a ten-to-one majority report from
the senate elections committee, which
recommended the seating of Daniel F.
Steck, democrat the insurgents never
theless enter the fight confident of
success. Their battle will be led by
Senator .Borah. republican, of Idaho,
and Senator Stephens, democrat. Of
Mississippi.
AS the election contest is OF the
highest privilege, it can be called be-
fore the senate for debate and a final
vote at any time.
Supported LaFolIette.
The fight will mark the climax of a
two-year war by conservative repub-
licans upon Brookhart because of his
opposition to republican administra-
lions. A year ago they ousted him
from the party because he had sup.
ported LaFollette in the 1924 presi.
Dental election.
Majority Versus Minority.
The conservative drive will be
based solely on the majority report OF

of 100000 ballots. The report was
written by Senator Caraway, demo

A minority report, filed by Senator
Stephens, holds that Brookhart is le'
gally entitled to his seat, having won
by plurality of 1,131 votes. It holds
that Brookhart was counted out" OF
his seat by the committee making
every ruling in favor of Steck.
Politics will rebound thruout the
battle, splitting the senate more along
progressive-conservative lines than
into strict party groups.
Nye Precedent.
The hopes of Brookhart's support

tablished by the senate in the case of

voted ten to three to deny Nye his

BERLIN, March 30.-That Germany

the declaration OF DR.. Schacht, presi-

"The fight for raw materials plays
the most important part in world poll

NSPcCidl 70 INC lazy WoTkeTl
ST. LOUIS, March SO.-About year
ago the usual sham battle between the
democrat and republican parties for
control of st. Louis was waged with
a Mr.. Igo Of supposed liberal views
supported by the democrats and Vic.
tor ]. Miller, arch-reactionary, backed
by the republicans.
In the campaign that followed, Mil
Ter won out. In addition to having the
support Of the local Chamber of Com
merce and other reactionaries it is
also stated that he had the support Of
the khan.
Assumes MussoIIni Role.
AS soon as Miller assumed office
as mayor, he gave all opposition job
holders the boot. So autocratic was
he in his rule that he earned the name
Of being the "most-hated" mayor st.
Louis ever had. He refused to toler.
ate views that did not coincide with
his own.
The climax came when he kicked
out the director of public safety, WALL
who had held down fat city job for
over 30 years. A movement was then
strated to impeach Miller. This was
sponsored by ward heelers, outraged
ex-iob holders and a sprinkling OF
workers who still place their conf
dence in capitalist politicians.
Recently 600 men and women met
at the Musicians Hall to perfect an
organization to bring about the i'm
parchment of Miller. Wild speeches
were made. Mayor Miller was charg
ed with "demoralizing city service
and being "temperamentally unfit" fol
his office. The speechmakers receiv
ed shouts of approval from the audi
ence. Feeling was running high.
Socialist Aids Reaetionary.
At this point 10 and behold, casting
his eyes about fretfully, G. A. Hohen
nationally known socialist party
leader and editor in chief of "St. Louis
Labor" strolled into the hall. He rose
to the defense Of Miller speaking
against the impeachment of this arch
reactionary. He said "the resentment
Of the public aroused against Miller
over the discharge of Wall will be a
lesson to him and the mayor no doubt
has learned his lesson by this time.
This is a fair example of the doings
Of the present bankrupt leadership Of
the socialist party. St. Louis was one
of the old strongholds Of the socialist
party. About all that remains here
today is a few pot-bellied union bust
ness agents and the weekly paper "St
Louis Labor" which performs the
dual function of being the official or
gan Of the Central Trades Council and
OF the local socialist party. This pa
per under the editorship Of Hoehn
never overlooks an opportunity to at.
tack the Communists and left wing
forces in the trade union movement
that are working towards making the
labor movement more militant fac.
tor in the class struggle.
All that Hoehn has to offer the work
ers Of st. Louis, who are among the
worst paid in the country, is a miser
able defense of Victor ]. Miller, the
most hated" mayor st. Louis ever
had.

the highway extension program
comes on for consideration, will be
one of financing and that phase of
the matter will be given full and

son, of Union county, appears to be
welded to the idea that a further
bond issue is the only solution of
the problem, but Senator Richards,
of Atlantic county, is convinced
that a gasoline tax will provide all
the revenues necessary for financ-

ment Both the Senators are am

might have the better end of the
