Recognizing that the work
ers are growing more militant
the yellow Socialist" Leader
became frantic and came out
with a big editorial urging the
employers to take energetic mea-
sures to save themselves from Com
munism and a revolution.
"Do the employers want world
revolution ?" asks the Leader.
''Do they want confiscation of
property"
''Do they want to be lined up and
shot?
"True, there is no immediate
danger of violent revolution, but
the conditions give the Communists
the chance they want. The condi-
tions lead directly to trouble and
more trouble. If allowed to con-
tinue long enough, no one can tell
what may happen. There is an in
fallible way to nip revolutionary
propaganda in the bud and make it
fruitless," continues the Leader,
"and the employers have the power
to do it. Let them stop over-eating
and basking in Florida and Cali
fornia sunshine long enough to act"
Thus the Socialists" in their
over-anxiety to save capitalism for
the capitalists and slavery, warn
the employers to return from Flor
ida and California to act-to sup
press the working class. Mayor
Hoan, the Socialist" was very
pleased with the clubbing of the
workers by the police, but he said
the police were "too patient" with
the Communists. He implied he
would have been much more pleased
had they opened up with the ma
chine guns that they brought to the
demonstration.
The A. F. L. is completely united
with the socialist party in all es-
sentials on the way to treat jobless
workers. Charles C. Thurber, pres
ident of the building trades council,
was an interested onlooked when, at
the end of the parade and meeting
of the $4,000 unemployed, police on
horse, plainclothes men and patrol
men assaulted the crowd with Gibbs
and blackjacks and in a wild fight,
for the workers resisted militantly,
beat scores unconscious, and ar
rested So.
"We are glad it is over" said
Thurber, in the capitalist press,

growing from just a handful to

As Meet Shuts

LONDON, March 20.--Though not
officially announced, the Five-Power
conference ended some time ago.
This fact is slowly trickling through
the capitalist press.
However, the final word has not
been pronounced by the imperialist
bandits because of the flood Of
peace" propaganda which preceded
the race-for-arms meet which was
intended to hide the rapid war build
ing that was the real object of the
capitalist robbers at the London
meet.
1t is more difficult for them to
cover their war rivalries, and their
huge building programs now with
the complete collapse of the London
conference.
Both Macdonald, for British i'm
perialism, and Stimson for American
imperialism are in an etremely EN-
barrassing situation because they
have been issuing tons of propa-
gandistic slop about all being jake
in London.
The fact is that every minute Of
he secret conferences was filled with
the sharpest antagonisms and rival
ries, which were intensified by the
growing economic crisis.
The Hoover-MacDonald tripe which
came out of the Rapidan meet last
summer is now openly branded for
what it always was-namely, tripe

WORKER PARENTS
THROWN IN JAIL
Won't Pay Fines for
Children on Mar. 6

Working class parents of school
children who stayed away from
classes March 6 and demonstrated
with the unemployed on Union
Square were sentenced to IS and $40
fines by M agis ira e Ewald
in Morrisania court, the Bronx. They
all refused to pay the fines and are
in jail serving one and two day SEN
fences.
The defense was conducted by the
International Labor Defense, which
argued that the arrest was viola
ton of a constitutional privilege.
Attorney Buitenkant pointed out
that if these children had stayed
away to go to a mass or other re-
ligious service, nothing would have
been said by the authorities. He
demanded the right of working class
children to conduct working class ac-
Invites.
Ewald howled denunciations on
the March demonstrations when he
sentenced the parents.

New Situation.
Raymond pointed out that the con-
ference was meeting under different
circumstances than on August "a,
1929. Up until August of last year
production records were being brok-
en- month by month so that the total
years production was over 100000
cars. Nevertheless long lines of
workers could be seen even in that
period. Wage cuts, speeding up and
worsening of conditions confronted
the workers every day. Many
strikes resulted, demonstrating the,
growing fighting mood of the work.

the frequent demonstrations which

The recent decision of the Supreme
Court that property designed for the
manufacture of liquor intended for
use in violation of the Volstead law
can be seized and confiscated, means
that a host of store keepers and
others who have been selling sup
plies that they knew were for the
manufactured contraband stuff, are
liable to prosecution. Drives will be
made to seize and confiscate barrels,
kegs, distilling outfits, hotties mix
lures for making home brew whiskey
and beer and all sorts of supplies to
persons for manufacturing, retaining
aging and transporting home brew.
The business of supplying these
things has grown to large proper
tions and contributes heavily to
violation of the liquor laws.

To Plant Seedlings Along Du
POnt Highway

Delaware State Forester Taber has
arranged to plant 10000 seedlings on
the highway from Milford to Selby-
vile for the Colman du Pont Road,
Inc.
When General du Pont bought the
2OO-foot right-of-way through Sussex
County, he offered to lease the $50
surplus feet of the highway not used,
to the farmers, whose land fronted
on any section of the highway. The
charge was nominal one, but 81 a
year, and the checks were not cashed
for IA years and then only to MAUI
tain Mr.. du Points property rights.
This effort of Mr.. du Points is
solely in an experimental way to try
and educate farmers of Sussex Coun-
ty to the value of forestration. Mr..
Taber will plant 20, 900 Seeding trees
on this stretch of road between
Milford and Selbyville.

Home Fires Still Burning

According to The National Board
of Fire Underwriters, fire loss due
to carelessness in handling gaosline,
benzine and other highly volatile
liquids is steadily increasing. APP
parently many persons who know
that a minute quantity of gasoline
vapor, when ignited by spark, will
propel an automobile, think nothing
of placing pan holding a quart or
more close to a lighted stove.
''Not being able to get the gar
ments quite clean in gasoline" re-
marked woman from her hospital
bed recently, Il lifted them out of
the gasoline and put them in another
solution to boil overa low fire. Sud-
denly there was blaze of flame!
That is the last remember"
Sixty-six per ceut OF all people
killed by fire are women and chill
dren trapped in homes. Gasoline,
improperly used, is one of the lead
ing menaces. And there are many
others, such as faulty electric wiring
and carelessness with cigarettes and
matches.
The tragic phase of the situation is
that at least 80 per cent of fires are
preventable. During February, fire
loss from all causes totaled over $43,-
200, 1000, as compared with SAL, 50O,-
600 during the same month in 1929.
In the matter of fires, Americans
are the most waSteful and careless of
any of the peoples of the world.

Gasoline Tax Still Mounting

Gasoline taxation has come to the
fore as one of the greatest of the
problems affecting the American
pocket-book. Last year the tax
reached almost $45O,OOO,OOO. This
year an authoritative estimate fore
casts total of $55O,OOO,OOO.
This estimate is based almost en-
tirely on the expected gain in gas
oline consumption. 1t does moi in
clude the recent tax increase of a
cent a gallon in Idaho, or proposed
higher rates in Mississippi, New York
New Jersey, Texas, Massachusetts,
North Dakota, Kansas, Louisiana,
and other states. 1t is said that Mis-
souri, and California alone have dis
played no tendency toward a higher
tax rate.
At the end of 1880, when the $780,
600, 900 has been collected, American
motorists will have paid total of
/ 81, 744, 400 600 in five years, over six
times the total of the preceding five
years.
Few people have any fault to find
with fair gasoline tax when all the
revenue is used for road purposes.
In many states, however, the tax
has grown out of all proportion to
the. retail price of gasoline, and some
of the revenue has been diverted to
schools, state departments, state
debts and general funds. And the
tendency toward still higher taxes
continues with increasing force.

Most Important Crop On The
Farm
Farm

The most important crop raised on
the farms of America is people, and
it is from the rural districts the pop
ulation of the cities comes.
The 1920 general census revealed
that there are 14,914,000 children
under Is years of age in the cities of
this country, IL, 141,0CO on farms,
and 6,557,O00 in the villages. The
child population on farms is about SO
per cent of the total, while in the
cities it is 26 per cent of the total.
The census report also reveals
that there are 1,204 children on farms
for every 1000 persons within the
ages termed potential parents. The
cities have only 645 children for
every 1000 persons classed as poten-
tial parents. This means that there
is a certain proportion of the young
people of the farms going to the cities
when they reach maturity and that
the birth rate is higher in the rual
areas.
The farms must educate all these
children, including those who 90 to
the city and use their education
there. This Immediately suggests
that the rual schools shonld be given
liberal financial support from state
funds, hereby including those
municipalities in which many of
these young people will make their
homes. and earn their living while
adding to the wealth of the cities.

Drivers License Laws Lower
Accidents

The Chief Motor Vehicle Inspector
of Pennsylvania recently said that
the most successful deterrent we
have against automobile recklessness
is the drivers license law.
In Pennsylvania when a drivers
license is revoked he may appeal.
Last year, driving privileges were
withdrawn from 1863 persons. Yet,
so overwhelming was the evidence
against them, that there was not a
single appeal. Forbidding these
reckless, incompetent or otherwise
dangerous drivers the use of the
public highways undoubtedly saved
great waste in lives and property in
Pennsylvania.
An automobile is potentially
deadly vehicle. To allow it to be
operated by person who has not
proven his ability and competence is
inexcusable. And the trend in motor
laws at present, in all states, is to.
ward severe examination of persons
applying for licenses.
So far, II states have passed scuh
laws. Appreciate success has re-
suited in every instance. Exami
natian of drivers and revocation o.
licenses for cause, will not entirely
do away with reckless and incom
petent driving, but it should materi
ally lower onr gigantic annual toll O.
death and injuries.
