$3.50 TAX EXPERT
FLAYED BY BLAIR
Public Given Warning About
Computation of Levy

Federal income taxpayers have been
warned by Commissioner OF Internal
Il Revenue Blair against the so-called
'fiftv-fifty" tax expert.
Addre ssing those whose income tax
falls due next Friday, the commissioner
over the radio last night said;

sorrow, will testify that the $3.50 So
called expert, who promises to save his
clients most of their taxes and to get
favors for them that other taxpayers
cannot get. has led them into enormous
expense into untold grief and, in many
Instances, into the very door of the
prison.
Such practitioners deserve the ex-
treme punishment. but the taxpayer
who too willingly follows. knowing in
bis heart that he is wrong, cannot ak

censure the bureau for the suffering

of a Southern state, Governor Gard

to appear in court in class trial

ties to railroad Is workers to the

Yes, She Southern capitalists have
need of all the assistance the A. F.
of L. leadership can give them. 1t
stands ready to do its best.
This answers the questions asked
at the beginning of this article. The
A. +. OF L. leadership is playing the
same role in the South as in the
| North-but not so successfully. 1t
cannot furnish the guarantees the
bosses desire but it will do all it can.
Some of the reasons why it will
not succeed in its program of corrup-
ton and betrayal as well as it has
in the North have been pointed out
already (absence of labor aristoc-
racy, etc.. There is another rea-
son. 1t is given below in the clear
and simple language of worker in
the Loray mill:
"In 1921 the United Textile
Workers Union came to Gastonia
and organized us. That was in
the Loray mill. We went out on
strike and tied up the mill COM
! pletely for five weeks. We didn't
/ have the trouble then with the po-
lice that we had in this strike.
| Then the U. T. w. officials sold
( US out and left with all the money
/ we had paid in as dues, and
suppose taking sizable sum
which the mill owners paid them
to get shut of the union. Then we
! went back to worse conditions than
we came out from. In a few days
we got a wage cut of 10 cents on
/ the dollar.
"The National Textile Workers
| Union is a different kind of a
union. 1t has proven this both in
tile strikes in the north and here.
The leaders have fought with us
and gone to Jail with US and we
will stick by them"
1t is significant, as an indication
of the inability of the A. F. of L.
leadership to play an active and de-
cisive part as agents of big capital
in the labor movement of the South
as in the North that not single
state federation of labor or a single
central labor body in the South has
passed any hostile resolutions or is
sued any statements antagonistic to
the members and organizers of the
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-08-03

but many realize that unionism is
inevitable and they are certainly
more susceptible to reason today
than ever before. But many are
going to fight to the last" (My
emphasis.)
The absence of any actual hostil-
ity to the unions in which Com
munists occupy leading positions, as
well as the absence of the usual
A. F. of l.. denunciation of Com
munists and Communism in the
above quotations, the almost COM
pletely objective tone in which the
entire article is written, is undoubt-
edly a reflection of the mass pres
sure for organization, and with con-
siderable accuracy denotes a fact
which not even the bureaucracy
dares deny-the fact that the South
ern workers in machinized industry
want militant leadership and will
follow and support, at the cost of
tremendous sacrifices, as in Cas-
tonia, able, honest and courageous
Leadership.
This kind of leadership the A. F.
of L. and its loyal opposition, the
Music group, cannot and will not
give.
"The more liberal minded employ
ers." (this is the old Gompers theory
of 'good" and "bad" employers
without reference to their economic
position as a big or small capital
ists) whom Wilson mentions, are
few and far between in the South
as in the North. Especially is this
true in the textile, cotton and rayon
and chemical and coal mining in
dustries. The reason is clear.

thought the workers of this sec

very suddenly they woke up one
morning and realized that the 100
per cent American workers of
Gastonia were being led by the
Communistic group. :. +. Just why
they had these thoughts no one

that the Southern workers will fol-

has social and industrial problems
just as any other section, many
of the more liberal minded en-

make choice between the radi-
Gals and the unions affiliated with

Dor.

Emphasis mine.)
Can the A. f. of L. leadership
corrupt and control the Southern
workers as they and other agents of
capitalism have corrupted and con-
trolled certain sections of the North
ern workers. This is the question
that the more far-seeing spokesman
of the mill owners are putting to
The Greens, Hoffmans and McMa-
hons. The bosses want guarantees.
There are a lot of N. T, W. U. or
ganizers in the South, especially in
the cotton textile industry and
where. as in the rayon section, there
is no labor aristocracy to furnish a
stable base for class cooperation
and organized attacks on class con-
scious unionism which are the stock
in-trade of the A. F. of L. bureau
cracy.
The textile mill owners have a
healthy respect for the Communists
who are taking leading part in the
class struggle in the new South.
They have shown themselves good
organizers and first class propagan-
dists on a broad scale. As result
of the rapid growth of highly ra-
tionalized industry and the activi-
ties of the Communists, large sec
tions of the Southern workers are
for the first time realizing the con-
nection between their economic
struggles and the function of city,
county, state and national govern
ment in this imperialist country.
The connection between imperialist
war and international competition in
the textile markets of the world is
beginning to be clear. The race

struggles have taken place recently,

The militancy of the mill workers
