 Although these two powerful bodies have their Catholic chaplains to care for the youths spiritual well fare, there has been the latent fear all along that their influence might in the end draw Italian youth away from the influence of the church.

SOVIETFIGHTING
'MOONSH|NE'

MOSCOW, March 6.~-A1though
Soviet Russia and the United States
are as far apart as the poles upon
political and government policies,
thev have one problem in common:
A battle against moonsh1ne liquor.
The entire police force of the
Soviet union has been modified III
the fight against the illicit manu-
facture of Samogen, or home brew
Vodka, which is robbing the govern
ment of more than $4,000, 900
annually in liquor revenues.
Fifty thousand persons, mostly
peasants, were arrested and fined
a. total of $4,000 in the four weeks
following publication of the Soviet
decree prohibiting the manufacture,
sale and transportation of the fiery
Samogon. This liquid frequently
contains 80 per cent alcohol ard
an injurious amount of undistilled
oils.
About $4,000 stills were destroyed
and a million gallons of liquor and
mash dumped into rivers or used
for industrial purposes.
So effective was the anti-Samogon
campaign in certain villages that,
the population voluntarily surrender
ed $500 stills and a large quantity
of mash.
But, just as has happened in the
United States, especially in the
southern mountain "moonshine
belt" there have been serious
clashes between enforcement agents
and country peol&a who felt that
their traditional rights were being
violated.

KICK ON TAX

Excessive and unequitable,' tax
assessments in the Seventeenth
Maryland Congressional District,
comprising Mount Rainier and ada
cent settlements. were charged yes
terday before the Prince Georges
County Commissioners in a mass
meeting at Marlboro, in which
more than 400 property. owners
participated.
Appearing for group of aggrieved
citizens, Charles B. Calvert, at
torney, declared Mount Rainier's
growth would be stifled IL the tax
C. III. Woodward, county assessor,
Citizens Association as unqualified"
for his duties.
The clerk OF the county court
explained the rise as due to a
recent Maryland statue declaring
property must be assessed at 100
per cent OF its real value.
Many Washingtonians, owning
Maryland property, were on hand
to wedge their way into the court
house, which was only large enough
to accommodate fifty compliments
at a time.
Specific charges against Wood
ward included assessment on
property without even coming
inside the house; assessment on
garages that did not exist: and
excessive assessment when property
was not worth zone half of what
it had been assessed"
No action will be taken by the
county commissioners until more
grievances have been heard.

of the Party are allowed as dele
gates. The conference this year
was kept well under the control of
the official reactionary Labor Party
group.
Results Expected.
The result so far as action is con-
cerned can be readily imagined. And
since the right wing control has
been growing stronger during the
part few years, it explains the fall
ing off in attendance. The average
working woman is disguised with a
conference such as the one at Ports
mouth this year which used the plea
of unity in view of the approaching
general election to put over all the
reformist policies of the Labor
Party, at the same time breaking
the real unity of the working women
by expelling the Left Wingers.
The conference supported the La
Dor Party's "belief" in the ultimate
naturalization and scientific reor-
ganization of the coal industry, but
did nothing about immediate relief
for the miners thereby showing

HUGE TRUST TO
FIGHT BRITISH
WORKERS LOOMS
M lie h tt Sug gests
Combine Scheme

LONDON, Sept. 24.-As the
world conference of leading mining
and electrical power industrialists
is about to meet here Lord Melchett
and his committee has suggested
that all fuel producing companies
cooperate" in the installation of
the most modern methods. The
plan suggests a nationwide trust
that VIII put still more of the Brit
ish workers olt Of work.
According to Lord Melchett, the
only way for England to solve her
economic problem and the general
decentralization of the mining indus
Try is to combine all the powers of
the leading industrialists, combine
mines and plants and draw up
strong entrenchment of trusts. His
idea is to combine coal mines. coke
ovens, blast furnaces. steel fur
naces, rolling mills and power sta
tons into thorough-going ration
alization of all these industries.
This plan is only a part of the
scheme suggested by the gas and
electric companies, chemical manu-
facturers and oil men. If it goes
into effect it would mean, accord
ing to the opinion of workers lead
ers here that one of the largest
bosses organizations ever created
ould result with the concommitant
cooperation Of the everything
British government and its courts.
The Melchett plan makes no pro-
visions for the mass of workers
who would be left idle if this plan
ever went into effect. The army
Of unemployed has already assumed
threatening proportions and some
conservatives have expressed the
opinion that if this army is added
to, as classification would assure,
the British government would be in
immediate danger.
