"All single men have to pay about
81 head tax and married men 81.
With no work. and heavy food

This information from one of Brit

the lie to the statements contained
in the American capitalist press that
the 1000 peasants are bandits, fight
ing without any cause against a ben
ign imperialism.
Though the head tax of 81 and 81
appears low, when it is realized that
it is virtually impossible for the peas
ants to get any money, and that they
do not have enough rice even to keer
their families alive, it can be seer
that it is impossible for them to hand
over any money to the British para
sites.
The struggle against tax payments
is growing throughout India. The
struggle of the Burmese peasants
should receive the wholehearted ano
enthusiastic support of every Amer

starvation is one of all workers

fore Teagle, president OF the Stand

Senator Kean, the fifth of the re-
publican quintet, has little rlme to
worry about the affairs of Public

selfish on his part until it is re-
membered that Kean is one of the
richest men in the world and with
the present crisis and everything has
had a bad time of it nursing his
hundred and twenty odd millions

out of his way to help further Pub

said that anyone has ever seen him

Garner and others over previous re-
funds, show that Mellon regularly
conceals the refunds in the form of
credits and attachments, and that
these regularly amount to about
twice the cash refunds.
Thus, when Mellon announced that
during the last fourteen years tax re-
funds amounted to $1,254,317, 800 -
all going to the biggest corporations
Garner showed that In addition to
this, during MELONS nine years in
office, the credits and attachments
amounted to $2,252,o42.o00.
It is beyond shadow Of doubt that
the present years refunds, counting
cash refunds, credits and attachments
together, amount to at least $500 00o,-
000--or more than three times the
amount Of the Hoover emergency
building program bill to aid the un-

AS in previous years, Mellon gives
the largest tax refunds to corpora
tons in which he and his family are

necessity be incomplete, but 1t is
hoped that by describing TYPICAL con-
ditions in various parts of the state
this series will give an accurate
picture Of the state as whole.
The republican bosses of the state
are Eonch (Nocky) johnson, treas
urer of Atlantic County, Ex-senator
David Baird. Ambassador Walter
Edge, Senator Kean and Senator
elect Dwight Morrow. The democra-
tic bosses are Mayor Hague Of Jersey
City and Theodore Brandle, A. F. of
L. leader. So far as any social, po-
itical or economic distinctions be-
tween the democratic and republic
can politicians are concerned-why,
there just are none. Hague is as
good a republican as Edge. and Nor
row is as good democrat as
Brandle. The thing that binds them
all together is a common desire to
milk the workers dry, and in all
truth they have come near to max
ing a perfect job Of their business.
Formal deals are consequently made
before every election at which it is
decided Just which plums will fall
to the democrats and which to the
republicans. 4
In the last election, for example,
Morrow, Morgan's partner. was
slated to win. Frank Hague, the
Democratic boss of the state, con-
sequently knitted his candidate,
Simpson, actually contributing funds
to the republican campaign fund so
that Morrow would win in q lands-
slide. In Newark, again, an agree
ment has been reached whereby the
republicans are to elect three Of the
members Of the city commission, and
the democrats the remaining two.
But because the democrats get the
short end OF this trade, one of their
commissioners is permitted to head
the department Of public safety,
which has control Of the police and
fire department, Which in turn is
entitled to collect graft from all the
discrderly houses. gambling dens and
horse-race bockies In the sity.

Fur Coated Students
Get Preference in Post
Office Xmas Rush Jobs
by a Worker Correspondent

Wy nOlhCi SOIEtSpUltuclltJ
BOSTON, Dec. 21.-The capitalist
press of New England announced a
few days ago that our beloved Uncle
Sam would relieve unemployment ~
hiring extra help in the Posi- Crlce
Department for the Xmas rush. They
lied as usual.
The 400 extra employees who were
hired by Postmaster Charles w. BIZ
reley to assist in the New Haven,
Conn, Xmas rush were not unem-
ployed workers but the fur-coated
Yale students, sons of wealthy and
politically influential families.
Postmaster BireIey admitted that
he had received 1900 applications for
work. and furthermore admitted that
he did not give out the jobs in &C.
cordance to the need of the appli-
cants.
Sons Of the present employees in
the post-office were employed, it was
revealed, but Postmaster Bireley
stated that he had to do this to keep
his men satisfied.
The postmasters's excuse for not
hiring the destitute and unemployed
heads of families was that in his
opinion they could not withstand the
rigors of the Xmas rush.

To q worker who doesn't live there
it means the Passaic strike, with its
heroism and fortitude on the part
of the strikers and its stark brutality

bosses, the textile barons. To the
pot-bellied borrgeoisie New Jersey
denotes Its famous shore resorts,

Branch. To the financier and the
industrialist New Jersey raises a
vision OF an open shop paradise
where A. F. of l.. officials can be
bought at fixed price. To the New
Jersey worker the mention OF his
state evokes only the bitterness
created by being forced to slave

which even "his" government in

New Jersey, though It Is the fourth
smallest state in the union, is one Of
the most important industrially,
ranking sixth in the country. Its
chief industry, petroleum refining,
has an output valued at more than
$275 100000. In foreign exports the
state ranks seventh, sending out
about $22y, 100000 yearly. Although
70 per cent Of the population live in

Correction on Yesterdays Story.
In yesterdays edition OF the Daily
Worker" in story on the Fish in
vestigation of Communist activity in
relation to bank crashes, an error
was made In stating that THE cap
ton Prepare for More Bank Fail
ures' never appeared La the Daily
Worker" This was the heading to an
editorial which appeared In the Daily
Worker. The prediction of bank fail
ures contained in the Daily Worker
has been more than exceeded by the
facts.
The Fish Committee In referring to
the editorial Prepare for More Bank
Failures" attempts to make it appear
that it is the Communists who cause
bank failures. This is a deliberate lie.
The bank failures, which are rob-
bling millions of workers and farmers
OF their hard earned pennies, result
from the basic. economic crisis which
is shaking American capitalism. plus
the rotten bank dealings, gambling.
fraud and stock-selling schemes of
the bankers themselves. -
This is what Fish is trying to pre-
teet In taking up the cry against the
Communists as the instgators of
bank crashes. Fish knows that the
Tammany erafters are head over
heels involved in the bank crash Of
the Bank of the United States.

dollars that the Red Gross invested
at two per cent with the Morgan
firm during the war.
In effect, Morrow is Morgan's per-
sonal emissary in New Jersey, and it
is by means Of the gigantic Public
Service Corp of N. j., in which Nor
row is a large stakeholder and Nor
gan has the predominating interest,
that the latter is able to control the
destines of majority of New Jer-
sey's Inhabitants.
David Baird, whose seat in the
U. S. senate was given to Morrow
so that Morrow might eventually go
to the White House, is the republican
boss Of the southern part of the state.
Baird, too, is large stockholder of
Public Service. Though Public Ser
vice pays its servants we'll, Baird,
like all politicians, is greedy enough
to steal the shoes of dead man,
and consequently makes it his busi-
ness to collect tribute from every
disorderly house and gambling den in
Camden and the surrounding ter
ritory. Baird. in the course of his
business, makes use Of a large and
extremely efficient gunmens club in
Camden which rarely If ever is
bothered by the police. .
With Morrow in the north, Baird
in the south and host of minor
politicians and labor leaders" cover
ing the rest Of the state, there Is
scarcely an inch of Jersey territory
that is not under the fond supervi-
sion Of Morgan's Public Service.
The third Of the @. o. p. leaders

France (where he doubtless is an
earnest contributor to plans for an
attack on the Soviet Union) and
former U. S. senator. He has beer
many years a co-leader, with Nochy
