British Church Ripens
New Brand of Dope for
Twenty Years: Option |

LONDON, Feb. THE long-await-
ed changes in the Church of England
prayerbook were announced today,
but the Archbishop of Canterbury in
making the announcement stressed
the fact the use Of virtually all the
changes is optional with the clergy
and a rector can not force his con-
gregation to use the changes unless
they consent.
The principal changes are these:
The word "obey" is dropped from
tie marriage ceremony.
The marriage ceremony is changed
so the bridegroom says, call my

stead of 81 with thee endow."
The reservation Of the sacrament
is authorized but only for the sick.

lied.

FRENCH WORKERS
HIT AS PRICE S
RISE With FRANC
No Salary Raises Since
Franc Was Restored

PARIS, Feb. THE height of BRAY
cry in France these days is to ask
for raise.
Although the cost of living has
risen steadily since July, when the
government set out to save the franc,
there have been few boosts in salary
or wages for any Frenchmen.
Government employees have sent
up one cry Of protest after another,
but the Premier has turned down
every proposal. His lead has been
followed by the industrialists, the
shopNeepers, and all other bosses,
an)y too happy to find an excuse by
means of which the payroll total can
be kept from mounting.
Less Pay Than Ever.
Now that the franc has been re-
stored, the prospect Of increased pay
for wage-slaves seems shghter than
ever.
It's political problems having been
settled, the members of the French
officialdom cannot be bothered wor-
rying about the plight of the man
IN the street. Their chief concern,
throughout the economic crisis, was
to protect the investments of CAPT
talists, whose finances were jeopar-
died by the fluctuations Of the franc.
Militant labor organizations here
and in the provinces are becoming in
censed over the governments refusal
to act and attempt to cope with the
situation.

eIuulcUIS anu DuSlIeso.
To the Editor Of The DAILY
WORKER: Dear Comrade:-The Or
game Law Of the Consular Service,
Section 1, Article II, reads as fol-
lows: C0nsuls must not engage in
commerce or any other professional
or industrial occupation in the cOun-
tries where they serve.
The Venezuelan Consul in New
York is p. Il. Rincones, Jr.
The first thing to be seen on the
doors of the Venezuelan consulate in
New York is: P. X. Rincones, Jr. and
Co., Inc. This inscription occupies
the most prominent place; the name
of the consulate is relegated to an
abs1rdly inferior position. The doors
afford a perfect clew to the interior;
the chief part is occupied by the Of
fees OF this company, in which the
new consul is SO patiently a guiding
spirit. The consulate, limited to a
small part of the floor, is furnished
with several chairs and an enormous
case. To be sure, so far as the Off
ces of P. r. Rincones, Jr. and Co.
Inc, are concerned, the furniture is
net TO be shifted at.
One would suppose that the new
consul would go thru at least the for
mality of resigning from the posi-
ton ne occupies in the company which
bears his name; but no. The bonds
are too tight. The offices are con-
tinued at 80 South Street, on the
same floor; they are entered by the
same doors. For a telephone the
consulate has to depend on that Of
P. r. Rincones, Jr. John 6124). In
deed, the Venezuelan consulate is the
only one in New York without a tele-
phone Of its own. There is no way
at all of securing information from
the consulate except by communicate
ing with the mercantile house which
haunts its precincts.
Fraternally,

DIEGO RIVERA TO

"WOrkers' Painter" On
The Job Again Soon

MEXICO CITY, Feb. diego
Rivera, well-known artist and fres-
coe painter, who sustained severe in
jury in fall from the scaffolding
on which he had been working, is
recuperating very satisfactorily. He
was removed to a hospital, and given
surgical treatment.
It is expected that within a few
weeks Rivera viii be able to resume
his work and will complete the wall
decoration of new public building
which he started a short time ago.
The accident caused considerable
anxiety among the ranks of workers
and progressives, as Rivera is not
only weil-lmown but also the out
standing figure in his field, the crea-
ton of an art which springs from,
and appeals to, the working masses.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Secre-

summoned as a witness in the gov

additional income tax from Senator
Couzens (R) Of Michigan and other
former minority Ford stockholders,

Melons testimony would be i'm

that the extra tax was levied be-

Couzens, who prosecuted the Senate's

David H. Blair, commissioner of in

voluntarily and have been subpoe-

hearing their testimony, the defense
will make final decision whether
to call Mellon.
Today's session before the board
of tax appeals was devoted to highly
technical testimony regarding the
valuation of Ford motor stock. The
government contends the valuation
was placed too high, thus enabling

Northwestern Lumber
Barons Control State;
Tough for Lum'berjack

To the Editor Of The DAILY
WORKER: The letter in your issue
of Feb. a, from a logger is interest
ing; it is also convincing-and the
latter is what counts.
The Undertakings of the northwest
own and control everything in the
northwest including the state depart
ments Of labor and the medical prac-
titioners who ply their trade in and
around logging camps.
There is no redress at present for
the logger, he is unorganized, he is
politically DISTINGUISHED. In proper
ton to what the lumber-jaclz produce
they are the lowest paid workers in
America.
The company doctors work in har-
nony with shyster lawyers and en-
ployment sharks in the interest Of the
lumber kings, at all times, against the
interest Of the over-worked lumber
jack. Magistrates, sheriffs and other
hirelings devote their energy to de-
Tending the barons, should any plebian
see fit TO take the kings into court.
Now that "our" benevolent govern
ment is giving to unemployed a
chance to eat Armours embalr.ed pork
and beans in China, the lumber-j jacks
ought to engage the lumber baron's
in a variety Of slSirmishes.
