ut seems to me that the most
casual observer in Washington must
be convinced that the first thought
of many of those in high places is
the tender care of the heavy tax
payers.
THAT is first. That is above star
walton and poverty and unemplOy-
ment and suffering. And that was
one Of the reasons why millions
fOcked to the polls last November,
not to elect democrats, but to de-
nOunce and condemn the admins
tration that has been Indifferent to
the greatest problem we have wit
messed in fifty years in time of
peace.
Increased taxes are to be avoid
ed if possible, but not at all costs.
There are worse misfortunes than
heavy taxes. One is unrest, discOn-
tent and spread of BOlshevism."
Offer Sops Not Insurance
He admits that taxes for the bosses
must be kept low, so their profits car
stay up, but he points out that the
main question is not relief" for the
unemployed, but squelching anc
fighting mass discomfort. On this al
bosses are agreed one hundred pei
cent.
They realize that it is only the
Communist Party that is leading a
real struggle for unemployment in
surance, to come out of the bosses
profits, out of the huge war expendi-
lures, and to sidetrack this discon-
tent Walsh appeals for "sops," fol
fake relief measures that will not
relieve.

of the bosses who control the gov
eminent, again brings out the fact
that the capitalists will not part with
one cent of their profits for unem-
ployment insurance. They prefer to
see the 100000 unemployed die of
starvation. He said on the question of
relief for the poor farmer:
There is no more justification
for the government to furnish food
for farmers in the drought area
than there would be in furnishing
food to any other section of the
United States or to any other class
of our people who may be in dis
tress."
At the same time Hoover asked for
another $100000,0O0 for the Federal
Farm Board, most of which goes to
grain spectators and bankers, This
would make $4O0,O0O,000 given to the
wheat gamblers and robber bankers.
During the course of the debate
Senator Walsh of Massachusetts in
dictated the great lengths to which
the democrats are going in their at
tmpts to fool the masses. Declaring
that there are 100000 jobless in the
United States, besides 100000 men
and women on part-time employment,
ranging from one hour to two OF
three days, the demagogic faker gab-
bled on about "relief" without Of
ferins any program. 1t is evident that
the bosses are trying to neutralize
the growing mass discomfort by util-
izing the 'insrrgent" phrases of many
of the democrats.
Fear of Bolshevism

his speech in the Senate when he

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-With un-
employment growing to tremendous
proportions, and great masses of poor
Negro and white farmers on the
verge of starvation, fake battle
over relief" is developing in Con-
gress. The democrats, led by Senator
Walsh of Massachusetts,. are carrying
on the same fake campaign to fool
the masses through which they won
millions of votes in the last election.
Secretary of Agriculture Hyde has
issued a vicious statement in which
he comes out openly in favor of small
sums in the form of loans with high
rates of INTEREST," for work animals
and fertilizer" but said that
There are great many objectinos
to the government making loans for
human food, From national point
of view (the capitalists always de-
clare their point of view is NATIONALLY
this latter class of loans approaches
perilously near the dole system and
would be move in the wrong direc-
ton"
Hyde admits that the greatest suf-
ferers among the farmers "are the
small farmers, both white and col
ored.' His solution for their hunger
and starvation is the same that is
offered to the workers, namely, char
ity. He said 1.-The Red Cross has I'M
dertaken to take care of all cases
of distress" For the Negro poor far
mers in the South, among whom mil
lions face starvation, this means a
vicious system of Jim Crowism.

DEMONSTRATE DEC. g
FOR DEFENSE OF SOVIET:
WRECKERS ARE ROUTED
Week End Meets All
Over New York
City

NEW YORK, Dec. 9-The New
York District Committee of the Com-
munist Party calls upon the workers
to demonstrate the International
working class solidarity against the
conspiracy Of French Imperialism
this Saturday, December 18th, at 1
p. m. in front of the French Con-
sulate, 8 East 40th st.
The trial of the counter-revolution-
airy Industrial Party" proved beyond
dispute that behind the sabotage Of
Professor Ramsin and his associates
the French government stood as the
main force, paying these agents to
wreck the successful expansion Of
the Five Year Plan. Ramsin, KAHN
nikoY, and Laritchev admitted their
connection with Mr.. K. and Mr.. r.,
French citizens, spies in Moscow, as
well as their negotiations to the end
of a more effective organized sabo-
tage at their Paris meetings.
Aside from the conspiracy led by
French imperialism within the Soviet
Union, the French government is
leading the mobilization of armed
forces in the Baltic states, Poland,
Rumania, etc, against the Soviet
Union.
The war maneuvers against the So
Wet Union instigated by Washington,
have as their chief exponent in Eur
ope the French government. In the
defense of the first workers father
land, the workers Of New York must
demonstrate their determination to
fight against imperialist Intervention,
at this moment particularly against
the chief conspirater, the French gov
eminent.

STRIKE AGAINST
Is PC, WAGE CUT
TUUL Leads Furniture
Workers Strike

EW YORK.-Yesterday morning
40 upholsterers and other workers
went out on strike against 25 per
cent wage cut handed out by the
bosses in the Republic Upholstering
Co. plant at 7th Ave and 18th St.
Brooklyn.
The strike is under the leadership
Of the Furniture Workers Industrial
League, affiliated to the Trade Union
Unity League. A strike committee
was elected by the workers after a
mass meeting that was held right
after the strike was called. The de-
mands of the strikers are the i'm
mediate abolition of the 25 per cent
wage cut; recognition of the Shop
Committee after the settlement of
the strike; week work to be estab-
lished instead of piece work; time
and half for overtime; eight-hour
day and five-day week.
Committees were elected to conduct
mass picketing. The workers are III
militant mood. and are being raj
lied to win the strike under the lead
ership of the Trade Union Unity
League. All members of the Furni-
ture Workers Industrial League, as
well as unemployed workers, are
urged to participate in the picket
lines.
Word has reached the strike COM
mittee that the boss is willing to take
back the wage cut, but balks at rec
ognizing the Shop Committee. The
strikers stick to this demand, as well
as all Of the others.

TURN DOWN EAGLE
BOSS PROMISES
Vote Continued Fight
on Wage Cut

NEW YORK.-Following a futile
conference by the strikers commit
tee with the bosses of the Eagle Pen
Gil Co., the striking workers yester-
day voted to continue the strike
against the wage-cut and to strength
en- the picket line.
In the conference of the strikers
committee with the bosses, the bosses
refused to recall the wage-cut ana
attempted to soft-soap the workers
with sweet phrases and fake prom
Uses. They proposed that the work
ers should return to work, accepting
the wage-cut, and in return they
handed out half-promises that there
would be no discrimination against
the strikers and their leaders, BUT,
they added, if anybody's place has
been already filled that's another
story, and the bosses would be so
very sorry. This was clear indication
of the bosses determination to pun
ish the leaders of the strike and all
those workers who have shown any
sins of militancy. The bosses then
tried to stampede the workers into
returning without their demands by
threatening to shut out all who
don't come back to work by today.
The bosses wanted the strikers to
know that business was oh, so ter
rible, and that, in fact, they were
losing money every day and only
keeping the plant open for the sake
of the workers. They were SO sur
prised that the workers could not
see things from this angle. The COM
mittee refused to swallow the apple
sauce.
When the committee reported back
to the membership meeting, a few of
its members were in doubt as to what
further action should be taken, but
that doubt was soon dissolved by the
militant attitude of the strikers and
their determination to carry on the
struggle. Jack tombstone, who spoke
showing up the tricks of the bosses
and their fake promises, was loudly
applauded A woman worker of the
Unemployed Council pledged the
support of the unemployed workers
on the picket line and in the fight
against any effort of the bosses to
recruit scabs from among the job
less workers. Enthusiasm ran high
The strikers decided to continue Wis
iting of all members of departments
who were absent from the picket line
and the hall.
In an early meeting yesterday il
was decided to form union and {
committee was elected to get the
necessary cords Tor the enrolment o.
the workers today.
At both meetings the efforts of EN-.
ployment agencies to furnish scab,
were denounced. 1t was reported alsC
that Spanish church on 115th st
is acting as scab agency for thu
bosses, sending down members of thu
parish with letters to the Eagle Pen.

Average Motorist to
Travel 5000 Miles

The average American motorist
this year will travel between nine
and ten thousand miles and will
burn in the neighborhood Of 500
gallons Of gasoline.
Fortunately most OF this travel
ing will be done over roads that
have been improved II not hard
surfaced. But much Of this travel
will be on roads which although
they keep the motorist out of the
mud still perform only half the
function OF the modern road.
Today, with American motorists
piling up a quarter trillion miles
Of travel a year. the prime factor
IL that OF building roads over
which travel may be accomplished
at the least possible cost to the
motorist and the tax paying
public.
Peculiarly. this matter OF car
and road economy has been neglect
ed In countless communities. IN
fortunately few motorists keep ac-
curate car operation cost figures 50
that actual costs OF operatinr over
various types Of highway surfaces
can be determined. This Is one
reason many communities permit
themselves to become equipped
with pavements that give a sem
blance OF good service. but do not.
Another reason is that few citiz-
ems take the trouble to ascertain
how much OF the community money
goes for road and street main
tenance.
Investigations have revealed that
hard surfaced pavements. with a
life OF two or more decades. are
by far the cheapest both to the
individual motorist and the gov
eminent. Studies have shown also
that a pavement is no stronger
than its base. and IL the base is
strong enough there is no need for
top ~surfacing.
Obviously the yearly mileage OF
the average motorist is 70 continue
