SOCIALISTS IN

READING, Pa, (By MaiD.-Can {
betrayal of the interests of the work
ers. such as has distinguished every
instance in which social democrats
have acquired power in government
or in workers. mass organizations
be expected from the new socialist
party officials of the government OF
the city of Reading, Pa? 1t can.
Same Old Misleaders.
Is the socialist party of Reading
different from other units of the
same party in other parts OF the
United States and from other ma
tional sections of the Second or so
cialist and labor" international, or
are the leaders of the socialist party
of Reading more MARKHAM than So
cial democratic leaders elsewhere in
this country and the rest of the
world, as some Reading workers seem
to think? They are not.
Answering, more specifically, the
last question first, the socialist party,
in this instance, being on the defen-
sive, one is inclined to do so by ask
ing further questions. Are not their
program and policy identical with
those of the national party and inter
national of which they are a part?
Is the record of the socialist party in
Reading or are the records of its
leaders essentially different, to date,
from those of other social democratic
parties and leaders at similar stage
in their careers? They are not. What
reason can there be for believing that
the future will show any divergency
worth mentioning from the records
of other social democratic parties and
leaders?
Not only may the interests of the
workers be betrayed by the socialist
party city officials of Reading but
the betrayal has already occurred re-
peatedly. 1t occurred in years passed,
it occurred during the recent munich
pal election campaign and it has &C.
CURED since they assumed office. 1t
occurred, in fact, in their Inaugural
ton. 81"
Admit Betrayal.
At no time during the campaign
or since have the socialist party lead
ers and city officials claimed that
they would give the interests Of the
workers preference over those of the
employing and owning class. In fact,
the term workers" was seldom men
toned and never emphasized; instead,
they spoke of "the public" "the peo-
ple," Citizens" etc. Even socialist
party, of democratic principles, would
not necessarily be expected to do
other than promise to serve the vast
majority of the population-the
workers. A genuine workers party.
its candidates or elected officials
would pledge itself or themselves,
first, last and always, to the ser
vice of the workers, promising to give
to the problems of the non-working
class portion of the population only
the consideration which they deserve

(BB q Worker pOndent.)
PHILADELPHIA, (By Mail
Mitten Men and Management of
Philadelphia, or in other words, the
company union of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit is constantly fooling
the workers with it's plans of col
lective bargaining" cooperation, etc.
One of the last shots of this COM
pany union was a circular with big
title: Union Labor Adopts Mitten
Plan"
Cooperation Bunk.
In these circulars, which are being
spread all over the city, the conscious
eXploiters Of the big company are try
ing to mislead the workers of Phila-
delphia, and the employees of the P.
K. 7. especially, by trying to prove the
possibility of cooperation between the
employers and the employees, the
gains the workers get through such
cooperation and that the Mitten
Management, as such, is not against
organized labor. To prove this the
Mitten company is issuing regularly
all kinds of literature" where they
are trying to prove the accomplish
ments Of cooperation. In the last
piece the company presents the agree
ment between the management and
organized labor. Everybody knows
that the so-called agreement is merely
another trick how to mislead the en-
ployees of the p r. T. from the real
issues these workers are confronted
with.
The Mitten management today is
practically controlling the entire
transportation of Philadelphia, in
Guiding bus lines. cabs, subways.
street cars, etc. The workers of the
Mitten management are not satisfied
with their economic onditions at all,
but in order to prevent the POSSIBLE
tiles Of the development of the dis
satisfaction on the part of the en-
ployees the Mitten Management is
sending its stool-pigeons into the
ranks of the P. +. T. workers and.
II some one is trying to protest
against conditions, he finds himself
immediately out of work. The COM
pany is also trying to fool the work
ers by telling them that the en-
pioyees have their representative on
Che board of directors or other com
mittees, that these workers repre-
sentatives" fight on the board of
directors for the interests of the en-
ployees. Of course it is easy to un-
derstand for every conscious worker
that these so-called workers repre-
sentatives" are merely other stool
pigeons for Mr.. Mitten and his COM
pany
Officials Sold Out.
1t IS interesting that the officials
OF the labor movement in PHILADELPHIA
has never found it necessary to dis
cuss this important question, and
adopt an Indifferent attitude towards
the company unionization of thou
sands of workers of Philadelphia.
The present officials of the Phila-
delphia labor movement, as we'll as the
officials of the American labor move
ment, are unable and not willing to
free the thousands of workers from
company unionism. These workers
look upon the progressives in every
industry as their hope for better con-
ditions and militant trade unions.

ORDERS JUDGMENT
ON TAX PETITIONS
Court Directs Mandamus in Bread
Firm Suit Involving $500,000
of Alleged Liability.

Justice Stafford of the District Su-
preme Court today ordered the per-
emptory writ of mandamis at the suit
of the Shuts Bread Co. of New York
to issue against the Board of Tax APP
peals, commanding it to enter judg-
ment by default against the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue upon Pc
titions pending before it involving half
a million dollars of alleged tax liability.
Attorneys w. G. Sullivan, Raymond F.
Garrity and Leon F. Cooper appeared
for the Shuts Bread Co.
The company filed its petitions with
the Board of Tax Appeals to review de-
ficiency assessments imposed by the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
against it. The rules of the board al
lowed the commissioner 60 days within
which to answer. Instead of doing so,
he applied to the board on the sixty
second day for ar extension of time
within which to answer and the board
granted his application. The Shuts
Bread Co. moved the board to vacate
this order and to enter judgments by
default against the commissioner, con-
tending that when the time for filing
an answer had expired the board, as a
matter of law, had no power to take
any other course, and the action of
Justice Stafford sustained this con-
tention.

HEARINGS CLOSED

Officials and Board Members
Decline to Discuss
Decision.

School officials and members of the
Board of Education yesterday COM
pleted a two-day hearing, in executive
sessions, of the Bureau of the Budget,
at which the school estimates for 1880
were under consideration.
Neither the officers nor the board
members would discuss what transpired
1t is understood, however, that the
school estimates were considered as a
whole, and without particular stress
upon the supplemental estimate" which
Maj. Daniel Donovan, District auditor,
compiled at the request of the District
Commissioners when the Board of Ed
ucation refused to reduce its original
estimates or make any change in their
form before they went to the Budget
Bureau.
Whether this consideration of the
estimates as a whole and not in two
Sections-the regular estimates in one
section and the supplemental esti-
mates" in the other-indicates that the
Board of Education Is being upheld In
its insiStence that it and no other Dis
trict body has any right to submit
school estimates exactly in accord with
the definite school system needs, can
not be determined. however, until the
Bureau of the Budget forwards the
whole budget to Congress.
DR.. Charles F. Carusi, president Of
the Board of Education. and a prom
inent figure in the boards recent efforts
to avail itself of every right it believes
it is accorded under the existing school
legislation, was absent from the hear
ingS, having been stricken with a severe

The tendency of modern youth to

be well said of the youngsters-theya are
honest, truthful and without pretense-
but their desire for freedom may easily
turn into license as they show no dis
elimination between knowledge and
wisdom"
DR.. Burton's talk launched the Win

tor George H. Moses of New Hamp-
shire, director of the Eastern campaign
OF the Republican national committee,
speaking here last night sounded a
note of danger to the textile industry
in a Democratic revision Of the pro-
tective tariff. He said Gov. Smith was
more anxious for the plaudits of the
mob than for chance to discuss the
issues OF the campaign"
The Senator quoted figures showing
the difference in wages paid in Europe
and the United States in various
branches of the textile industry, and
declared that maintenance of indus
trial conditions in the United States
can be done only by the Republican
principle of protection to American in
dustry and labor"
Speaking of Gov. Smith the Senator
said: "The brown. derby which so val
iantly waves in New Jersey tonight will
be hung on the hatrack of the execu-
tive mansion at Albany after the elec-
ton, battered from its Western tour,
faded from the suns of the South and
worn from its experiences in the East.
II am one of those old-fashioned
individuals who believe that candi-
date for the presidency should know

ject," Moses continued. II believe that
a certain degree of dignity should ad-
here to the presidency of the United
States, and am wholly opposed to max
