 TOM GAFFNEY ON LABOR
 On WOrkmen's Compensation
 Insurance
 The revised Workman's Compen- sat;On Act introduced by Joseph Murray reduced the amounts pay able to alien mothers and rathers If deceased persons to 50 per cent
 The argument against the re- duction advanced by William l.. P1u1 was that compensation insur- arce was "blood money' and there should be no discount merely be- cause the mother was an alien.
 Tom Gaffney led the argument sGying that "the rate of exchange would make up the difference" and so he supported the amendment de. sired by the big mining companies.

 Ireland was kept in slavery for hundreds of years by Tom Calf neys, enemies of home rule, sup porters of British foreign rule and British Bureaucrats.
 The term 'fawning Irishmen" YVES born of Irishmen who gave full some praise to British governors.

ARLINGTON, Va, April 27--Harry
X. Green, commissioner of revenue for
Arlington County. was recalled to the
witness stand today in the Arlington
Fairfax Alexandria annexation hearing.
and cross S-eXamined by Maj. Carter
Hall of Alexandrias counsel, following
his testimony of yesterday in which he
said taxation is l46 per cent higher in
Alexandria City than in Arlington
County.
Nfr. Green said today that the Mount
Vernon Boulevard and the new Key
and Memorial Bridges would bring new
industries and new people into Arting-
ton County. provided the county Is not
burdened with o high tax rate. Asked
hv Mai. Hall if he did not look forward
10 the incorporation of Arlington Coun-
tv. Mr.. Green replied: Perhaps some
time i'll the distant future. He said,
in his opinion. annexation OF the POLO
mac territory by Alexandria would
greatly increase the taxes IN potn
Arlington County and Alexandria, and
would thereby retard and interfere with
DEVELOPMENT of industry in this section
Of Virginia. He said that the Governor
of Virginia had recommended reduced
taxes on industries. which reconlmenda-
ton has been enacted into law.
In his opinion, If the localities Such
as Arlington and Alexandria did not
cooperate by holding down the local
tax rates. Arlington and Alexandra ana
the entire State would suffer. MAJ: Han
objected to reference as TO the state
but the objection was overruled. An
exception was noted.
Increase of Population.
That the population of Arlington
County has increased 267 per cent IN
the last SO years was brought out by
Mr. Green, who produced data from
the United States Census Bureau on
the subject. He was asked II, IN MS
opinion, an increase Of $40 on $o,0uo
investment OF an average home owner
would interfere with the growth Of Ar
lington or Alexandria, and replied that
the average home owner would prefer
the county, because the $40 increase
would double the tax OF the average
Arlington home owner.
Green admitted on croSs-examination
that several industries OF Arlington
County had ceased to function during
the last several years. He testified yes
terday that 81 Alexandria Industries
that declared capital in 1920 had falleo
TO report capital in 1927.
Yesterday Mr. Green was piled with
questions for two hours by John S.
Barbour of the Arlington counsel. He
charged that annexation would bring
about an increased tax rate in Airing
ton County and the surrounding terri
tory, corruption Of the present school
system. and retardment Of the countyS
growth in general The loss of Sl0S,-
eI7.25 annual revenue from taxes would
bring about the tax rate increase, Green
said.

CHICAGO, April 27.--Removal OF
three judges from the Criminal Court
bench has been demanded by the Chi
cago Crime Commission. A break
down in law enforcement Is charged
and an alliance between politics and
criminals is held responsible.
The statement cf the commission, a
non-official organization, singled out
Judges Emanuel Eller. Stanley IL. klar-
kowski and Otto Kerner, and pointed
to the records of their courts for the
last three months for substant1ation OF

These Judges, the statement. said.

Not a Gunman Convicted.
"The man who runs may read from
the record why politics needed them on
the bench" the statement continued.
"Durine these three months there was
only one trial and capital conviction
for murder, and that not OF glnman,
but of a doctor who had performed
an abortion.
During the same three months. fully
400 jurors were in daily attendance

system of permitting criminals to
escape trial on major charges and take
light sentences on other charges.
Judges Klarkowski and Kerner re-
