The Paris Commune celebration this
year is being held on the fourth day
Of the international Labor Defense
bazaar in the Star Casino, 10th
Street and Park Avenue, on March
10th to 18th.
This monumental proletarian event
which for the first time in history
placed workers government at the
head Of a community and has ever
since that time been source Of re-
volutionary inspiration will be eele-
brated at the bazaar
The Franco-German war like all
wars placed heavy burden on the
workers Of France. Starvation was
rampant; workers were thrown out
If their houses into the streets. At
last, being unable to bear it any longer
they rose in their might and estab-
lished the historic Commune Of Paris.
In spite Of the combined onslaught
of the French and German reaction
cries who combined in order to crush
the workers the Communsrds carried
on for two short months during which
they introduced many Improvements.
Finally on March 18th, 1871 the Com
mune was overthrown in a swelter of
blood. 1t is computed that approXi-
mately $4,000 workers were brutally
murdered. The walls Of Paris were
bespattered with blood; for weeks the
river Seine was like a river of blood.
On the slightest provocation workers
houses were ransacked and the occu-
pants beaten to death.
Every year the workers of the world
honor the sacred memory Of those
militant pioneers. This year, the fifty
sixth anniversary of the Commune
promises to offer the biggest celebra-
ton yet held in New York. Prominent
speakers including Juliet Stuart
Poyntz. William F. Dunno. Joseph
Brodsky, etc, will paint word pic
ture of the great struggle Of the
working class. A feature Of the cele-
bration will be tabloid Of the walls
Of Paris.
All workers are invited to attend.

BUSER STARTS
WORK TO CUT
CITY TAX RATE
lSks Department Heads to
Present Estimates for
1928.

The annual fight on city depart
nent budgets for the coming year
doomed today with the call of City
Controller William C. Buser for de-
detrimental requests for appropria-
tons.
Buser called for estimates not later
than Thursday.
Buser said he will check each item
eliminating many in an effort to keep
down the tax levy. Mayor Duvall
will look it over with Buser and pass
it to the city council. The council
must act before September.
1--WE will stand for economy, but
not to the point of inefiiciency," Blu
ser said.
Buser would not predict the 1928
levy.
Last year the levy was fixed at
s1.O4, but would have been S1.2S If
| had allowed all requests" Buser
said.
Boynton J. Moore, majority fac
ton councilman, declared himself
favorable to a S1.01 levy.
I'm for economy at any cost he
said.
Councilman Walter r. Dorset in
dicated he would favor an emergAn-
cy fund in the budget to care for
such things as the recent storm.
Councilman Otis Bartholomew be-
1ieved budget requests will be larger
than last year because of the new
law prohibiting fund transfers with
out considerable red tape. &
''All Of the departments will want
to be sure they have enough funds"
said Bartholomew.
