The Tariff Situation

The 1929 tariff situation was tragic from the be-
ginning. What tariff fight isn't? Lately, however,
it has assumed two relatively new aspects; we now
venture to say that there has been battle so
bitter comic. These characteristics go together
and they are unique in that they have sprung from
the same source-the good old political pastime of
statement-making
The anti-profectonist faction began by shooting
holes into high tariff complacency through the me
dium of pointed and lengthy statements from their
senator's Protectionist poise began to (some-
what to the surprise of the attackers, we magine)
and then to give way altogether. Soon the latter
group fired series of acrimonious comebacks from
their Senator's and the battle of statements has
been waging fiercely ever since Therefrom radiate
both the bitterness and the comedy
1t is tragically obvious for one thing, that some
of our dignified legislators have descended to the
level of snarling. deplorable result, but somehow
funny The fact that many of the attacks have been
deliberate teasing for the sake of drawing fire and
that much of the caviling taken seriously is de-
hvered with ranting tongue in cheek, also makes
matters more enjoyable Best of all have been the
attempts both sides to "smoke out the President
for statement. Feeling this score ran so high,
in fact that statements and gestures kindly at

Air-Minded Latin-Ameriica

The air mail route from Chile to the United
States is the longest in the world Mail arrived by
way of this route for the first time two weeks ago.
having passed over $3.50 miles and crossed twelve
countries in South and Central America Its arrival
also marked the completion of the first million miles
of scheduled flying by the Pan-American system.
The development of airways in Latin America
has been remarkable phenomena. It is easier to fly
in those regions than to travel by rail or pursue the
few motor highways. So from point in the
Americas to another far-distant one, residents and
tourists hourly wing their way in the most usual
manner in the world.
Extension of the airway systems has been part
ly made with the cooperation of the United States.
Contracts between our government and the Pan
American Arways have made possible the routes that
sweep Mexico and all Central American republics
down to the Canal The West Indian route to Cuba,
Haiti, Santo Domingo and Porto Rico was SO sue
cessfu that within fortnight after the first flight
along that line, six planes day booked for two
weeks ahead. Extension routes from both the West
Indies and Panama along the northern coast of South
America as far Dutch Guiana being organized.
The Republic of Colombia alone has seventeen new
air ports and the Colombian airway system reaches
all cities of the Republic, provides for immediate
necton to and from foreign countries and saves from
six to ten days in conveying mail and passengers.

Future Highway Development

The greatest field open for future highway de-
is the paving of secondary and market
roads In progressive rural districts the poorykept
dirt road is becoming thing of the past and is being
replaced by efficient long wearing owcost dustless
and mudless surfaces.
Extensive tests have shown that the various
asphalt and oil treatments are ideal for this work
They have the twin blessing of low cost and prac-
ticabiity. Good roads greater boon to the
farmer than to any other class of Americans; sec
ondary roads the crying need or rural sections.
The main highways carry the through traffic
but the back country must furnish the tonnage that
goes over the trunk roads to market It is therefore
essential that the feeder roads be improved in
junction with the through roads.

OVn Chauffeur

New York's perfumed police COM
missioner, Grover Whalen, who late
ly announced that he would pay no
attention to critics because they
were mot good citizens" is suffer-
ing an attack of amnesia, which we
find in the dictionary means: "a
loss or impairment of memory, or
morbid forgetfulness."
1t is curious that Whalen leaves
on the eve of general strike in the
garment trades, since in the lofty
role of neutral" commander of po-
lice clubs, he had pledged Square
deal" to labor and capital alike, but
his illness prevents this polished pea
nut politician from performing such
miracle, or from speaking of lit
tie matter of how it happens that the
personal chauffeur" of his wife has
been on the payroll of the city of
New York for ten years.
Joaquin Torres, the chauffeur, is
fired, but not because of graft. He
is also missing from his home, but
it is not be inferred that he is
sleuthing to discover who killed Ar
mold Rothstein.
The mournful tale of Joaquin runs
as follows: The other day while
driving Mrs. Whalen around Times
Square, unluckily encountered Traf-
fic Policeman Michael Curry. A row.
An arrest. The Whalen press agent
saw to it that the headlines ran
"Nervy Cop Pinches Whalen's Wife
Chauffeur; Whalen Approves Ar
rest"
But, sad to relate, the cop got
anything but approval" He is out
of his nice job on Fifth Avenue, and,
deported to a beat in the Bronx, is
talking to himself on the vanity of
life as defender of capitalist law
and order. Torres, as noted, is fired
and missing. But here is his city

Walker by Albert Goldman, commits

feur; resigned on August p5, 1924;
reinstated on January 26, 1925,
and resigned June 81, 1928; annual
salary, $1,000"
Just what a chauffeur for Whal-
ems family has to do with the de-
partment of plant and structures
only Tammany can tell. Perhaps the
family cook is drawing pay from the

Eighth Ave-, last night, de-
clared their determination to
answer the call of the Joint
Board of the new union for a
general strike in the dress trade.
Hyman's speech came as the
climax to one of the most dramatic
and inspiring mass meetings ever
held by militant workers of this
city. Only few minutes before
the vast gathering had shouted
mighty "Aye!" to resolution call
ing for the general strike.
The meeting from the start took
on the character of an enthusiastic
demonstration for the new Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union
and against the betrayers and union
wreckers of the scab International
and the yellow Forward. 1t marked
the final mobilization for the strike
which will be called in a few days.
Speaker after speaker pointed out
the miserable conditions of the
thousands of dress workers, the
ruin and decentralization that had
been brought into the trade by the
right wing union wreckers, and de-
clared that the workers were going
out on strike because they had
reached the limit of their endurance
and were determined to fight for
the establishment of real union con-
ditions.
No Other Way Out.
"We are going out on strike" said
Ben Gold, secretary of the
industrial union, because there Is
no other way out. On the eve of
the historic convention that launched
our new union we debated a long
time about the advisability of call
ing this strike. And we decided to
go out because it is an absolute
necessity and because if the dress
makers don't strike now, not only
their own conditions will become
worse, but the conditions of the
cloakmakers, the furriers and all
other needle trades workers will be-
come even more intolerable.
eve do not deceive ourselves as
to the difficulties. We know that
the takers and traitors of the right
wing are making plans to break the
strike. We know that they are

and the forces of the underworld

enslave the workers still more. We
know that they will take out in

SHOE WORKERS
MEET TONIGHT
Rally to Plan Policy of
Union

The Independent Shoe Workers
Union is calling upon the thousands
of shoe and slipper workers of
Greater New York to attend the
mass meeting tonight at 8 o'clock at
Lorraine Hall, 100 Broadway, Brook
lyn, at which prominent speakers
will outline the policy of the union.
The campaign which the union has
been carrying on among the shoe
and slipper workers to struggle
against the wage reductions and all
other schemes of the bosses. has
opened the eyes of thousands of
workers engaged in the shoe indus
try to turn toward the union. They
are beginning to resist the attacks
of the bosses.
With the reductions in wages has
also come the increase in the work
ing hours which has brought about
a large army of unemployed. This
army of unemployed is being used
as a weapon against those who are
employed in order to keep them in
subsection, but conditions have be-
come so bad that the workers en-
ployed in the factories are begin
ming to defy this weapon and are
beginning to revolt against wage re-
ductions, the yellow dog contracts,
the payment of securities, etc. Such
revolts have already occurred in the
Feifer Bros. Slipper Co., the Till
and Gordon, the Vincent Horwitz
and the Shirley, while the other
shops are in the process of organi-
zing a struggle against these con-
ditions.
The Independent Shoe Workers
Union recently distributed thou
sands of leaflets among the shoe
and slipper workers in Greater New
York and the eagerness with which
the workers received these leaflets
proved the reviving of the fighting
spirit among the workers and their
readiness to join the organization
whose aims are to carry on a mill
tant struggle against the existing
deplorable conditions in the indus
try.
All workers in the shoe industry
who are suffering under the abom-
Unable conditions imposed upon them
by their employers are urged to at
tend tonight's mass meeting and to
join the union.

day, arguing for the bill for fif-
teen new cruisers and some other
ships, which American imperialism
demands shall pass at this session.
Reed made one of the most plain
spoken speeches so far heard here.
He is retiring and does not need to

said that the United States should

United States build fleet large

"Tell me why Bermuda should be

should Britain cling to the ring of
islands which command the Panama

0.--The U. S. marines are going to

er about peaceful intentions" and
no more Intervention" put out by
he U. S. government as to what
(oover will do, is plain to be seen.
The present announcement of the
,arines to stay in Nicaragua fol-
,ws the recent letter of General Au-
ustino Sandino to Admiral Sellers
nd General Feland, commanders of
ne u. S. armed forces of invasion,
oily rejecting their proposal that
meet them in conference. San
ino replied, in part:
Patriotism has sustained me in

sfusing to recognize that your gov
rnment has any right to intervene

nd demonstrating that the sover-
ignty of people is not subject to

The news swiftly followed that the
larines were making new cam
aign against "bandits," meaning
andino's troops, and that the So
allied national guard, commanded
marines, and a band Of mcrcen-
nv killers, who are called "volun-
,ers," are also on the hunt for San
mos army.
A statement of the marine COM

The Marine Corps statement con-
inues:

cary to such a plan, this small

othing else than hand-picked mer-
snary killers and spies sent to get
