Clerks, Auto Workers
Join the Butte Strike

BUTTE, Mont, July 17.-Eight
hundred clerks, who threatened a
few days ago to strike in sympathy
with the transfers walkout if scabs
delivered at their working places,
are all now either on strike or locked
out. Most business houses are
closed down. The auto mechanics
are on strike. The total out is about
1,500. The strike started over an
attempt to cut transfers wages.
The auto mechanics also faced 81
day wage-cut.

Bosses Get InjunctiOns.
At the same time the bosses got
injunctions wholesale and made
wholesale arrests of the active men,
bers of the Independent Shoe Work
ers' Union.
Nine months have passed already
since the first part of the attack was
made and we shoe workers are
treated in the shops worst than the
widest animals. That means in the
shops where they have a little work.
Cut Wages.
They cut our wages left and right
without asking US slaves. If we
cannot make living on such small
amount as we get that doesn't both
er our bosses.
Every shoe worker knows that
lasting is the hardest work in our
line. A laster works about Is years
in the trade. After that he must
go into a sanitorium. And still
our bosses treat US so bad that af-
ter IA or Is hours a day hard
work we can't make a living, and
so it is with the rest of the workers
filters, heelers, cutters and mach
inc men. We all suffer under the
worse and hardest conditions in the
shoe line.
Workers Need Their Union.
Fellow workers, open your eyes
and see that the only way to be
treated right and to have condi-
tons in the shops is to have a
union. The tricks of the bosses in
saying they don't want a Commun-
ist union and they don't mean to
cut our wages is only a fake to
make us blind, and in this way to
smash the organization and throw
our active members in jail.
Our wages are cut so low that
many workers in the shops are get
ting from 40 to so cents an hour,
with a speed up system, and the
conditions in the shops wiped out
altogether.
Must Organize Now.
Fellow workers, the season starts
now. Don't let yourself be fooled
any more by the takers and bosses
when they want to use you for the
few weeks in the season. Under
stand that now is the time to or
ganize shop committees and in mas
ses into the union.
Get active!
Every and each worker must be-
come an organizer and do active
work for the organization, and show
the shoe workers the dirty tricks
of the bosses, their government,
their agents and scabs that they
used in the last strike. Let's show
them that we shoe workers are men
and we want to have conditions and
wages and we'll fight under the
banner of the Independent Shoe
Workers Union, 16 West Fl STREET.

HOOVER HOLDS
TAX CUT SURE

President Hoover and Secretary
Mellon today stood virtually COM
mitted to a continuation Of the
/ per cent tax reduction from the
rates of the revenue act of 1928
to be applied to incomes of 1880.
Although a high official of the
Treasury ID previously declared
that hope virtually had been ahan:
doned for continuation Of the tax
reduction because of feared reduc-.
ton in Government receipts, the
Administration held out hopes for
the tax relief.
Hoover Wins Mellon
The President said that after
going over the situation. with
Treasury officials he found no:
grounds for the prediction that
the cut could not be maintained.
Secretary Mellon declared in
formal statement he had real
hopes for continuation Of the l
per cent eduction.
Melons statement was issued
after Undersecretary Mills had
talked to the President. Two
hours later the White House
summary of the Governments fiS-
cal situation was forthcoming.
The overnight reversal of opinion
at the Treasury Department was
the subject of animated discus
sion in political circles.
Thursday morning it was in
dicated that continuation of the
tax cut virtually was hopeless.
Friday afternoon, after Mills
had conferred at the White
House, he offered a statement by
Mellon. in which the latter de-
clared he thought it probable the
per cent reduction would be ap-
piled to incomes of 1880.
It was frankly explained that it
had been the general impression
at the Treasury for sometime tn
taxes must return to the rates Of
the 1923 revenue act. The publica-
ton of the information obtAl:. j
at the Treasury Thursday, how
ever, caused anxiety at the WI. !.
House, and the state of ttIC
finances was put under the micro
scope.

tai receipts. Among this income
was $186,000008 received from
foreign. powers as interest on the
war debts. Interest received in
cash may be used for any govern
mental purpose.
One official warned that condi-
tions may be found such as to
make the tax cut impossible, with
out increasing the public debt, and
it was declared the Treasury has
no intention Of doing this.
In view of all circumstances it
was regarded as almost certain
that the / per cent cut would be
maintained for the aid of busi-
ness. Officials pointed out that it
was particularly unfortunate for
business that the Treasury should
be placed in the position of aban-
doning hope for the tax cut.

Disaster Ouerto0k Andree
so Miles From Pole

STOCKHOLM, Aug. % G.N.S0 .
One page in the diary of DR..
Solomon August Andree, dug
from the ice of their long-lost
camp in the Arctic, today gave
the first meager clue to the
dramatic story of adventure and
failure which started when his
ill-starred free balloon took off
from Danes Island, September
gen, in July, 1897.
This page, the last one in the
diary, was the only one examined
by DR.. S. Horn, Norwegian ex-
plorer, who found the camp Of
Andree and his two companions
in an isolated spot on White
Island, Fritdjof Nansen Land "
Nearly Reached Pole
Among the entries was the
position 83 degrees north, 80 de-
grees east, many miles northwest
from the point where the re-
mains of the encampment were
found. Scientists and explorers

meager reports received from DR..
Horn said this position indicated
DR.. Andree'S balloon was less
than 500 miles from the pole

The position given is in the
Arctic ice-pack, north and Slightly
east of Danes Island. If, as is
reported, this is the last position
noted in the diary, DR.. Andree
apparently had attained almost
striking distance of his goal when
some yet unknown tragedy over
took the expedition.
The position of the camp is ap-
proximately 720 miles due east of
Spitzbergen, indicating the ex-

 BOSTON, Feb. 17.-Here in Bos- ton where outfielders run up a right smart mileage backing up pitchers specializing in nothin g balls, they're counting heavily on Walter Berger, the Braves new outfielder.
 Berger comes from the Pacific Coast league, the origin of such great prospects as Earl Averill, Roy Johnson and Smead Jolley.
 That distinction didn't land him job with the Braves, though.
 It was his ability to go out and get fly balls and step up to the plate and smack the ball that pro- duced the promotion
 Berger, who broke into the pro game in the Utah-Idaho league, rolled up a batting average of .335 while with Los Angeles last year. The year before he hit .327 for the same club.
 He is noted for his distance hit ting and in 1929 collected Al doubles and 40 home runs Being six foot, two. Walter is no speed marvel but he does move around rather swift ly for a 190 pounder.
 The Braves parted with $50,000 in cash and players for Berger. Judging by reports from the west coast circuit it was a good invest ment.
 And it certainly will be a good investment for Judge Fuchs club if the big boy can make the ma- jor league grade for some fresh help is needed to argument the Braves present fly chasing staff of Richbourg. Welch and Earl Clark.
 Berger is 24 years old He bats and throws righthanded.
