AS We see it, President Hoover IS in la'or ot plenty Of drought legislation, unemployment relief, much public building; and much economy. As VIC further understand it, excessive economy doesn't mix very well with these ingredients; but perhaps that doesn't matter.

CRIME IN NERIDEN

If a small city experiences six weekend burglaries in it's downtown section, where the police are sup posed 10 be thickest, the natural in- ference is that the police are in- efficient. It has been in Meriden where six such downtown burglaries have been called to the attention Of the police"
 A disquieting result Of the rob berries is that among the merchant disc stolen were eight receivers, six other guns and a large amount of ammunition. This is dangerous ma tcrial to be in the hands Of crimin- als.
 The Meriden Record. in a first page editorial, claims the city does not need more police, but better po- lice. department not influenced by politics. What the condition must be like in Meriden is glimpscd from the following paragraph:
 AS for the night patrolmen. they have slipped into d rut perfectly aware of what the higher ups have been getting away with and rcaliz- ing that discipline IS no more Al most any night after midnight prac- tically the full roll call could be taken in the lunchcarts. parked taXicabs and theater lobbies."
 T. it were not for the fact that these robberies have all taken place downtown one would be inclined 10 defend the police at least slightly, it not being possible for them to be everywhere at the same time. But the downtown sections in the cities are always supposed 10 be well patrolled and protected. 1T the Meri- den police at night are mostly in lunchcarls, parked taxiCabs and other places where trouble is not expected, then Of course the crimln- al class IS likely to find that out as quickly as the newspapers.
 The bare possibility is. however, that Mcriden could stand some ad- ditional cops Most cities can, and 1t is only the exercise Of undue economy which fails to provide them. Crooks invariably discos CT the towns which arc least properly protected and Mcridcn seems to Ue one or them.

whereas the Federal Government was
steadily reducing taxes, all other forms
Of government were raising their levies.
In 1921, the figures disclosed, the to-
tai tax burden of the American public
was So, soc, 000, 900 and the Federal Gov
ernment's share was about 80 per cent.
In 1925, the total had risen to $l1 ,0O0,-
000, 900, but the Federal share had fallen
to less than 20 per cent.
Federal Gain Multiplied"
what the Federal Government has
done in reducing taxes" Gen Lord told
his audience, has been more than null
lifted by what the States, counties and
municipalities have done in raising
taxes. There can be no real reduction
until these lesser forms of government
likewise start to reduce"
The idea appealed, but the meeting
was divided rs to methods. A commit
tee, headed by Mr.. Pratt, took the pro-
posal over, but nothing came of it. I'm
daunted, Gen. Lord next turned to
Chicago and placed the proposal before
a group of business men there at a
meeting called by Will Dawes, head of
one of the city's largest banks. Mr.
Pfetffer also addressed that meeting,
which was held early in 1925, and ear
neStly advocated action.
The big idea. however, was so big
and, withal, so new-that the busy
men before whom it was placed found
little time to devote from their own
affairs to delve into its intricacies, and
1t resulted in no action.
Gen. Lord went back to Washington,
where his own crowded desk was keep
ing hin-at SIS years of age-busy from
10 to is hours day, and turned his
attention exclusively to Federal affairs.
He reported, briefly, on his two meet
ings, to Mr.. Coolidge. The move had
nothing to do with the Presidents

ing steps to check the trend, I do not
see how anything effective can be done
about it."
And there it rested. Gen. Lord went
back to devising new methods of Fed
eral economy which led to new Fed
eral tax reductions and, loyal to his
chief, proposed ideas and plans which
contributed to, the reductions for which
Mr.. Coolidge, AZ the Nations head, re-
ceived full credit. Many Of the tax
cutting ideas were the Presidents but
many others were Gen. Lords.

Outlook for New England Labor

Nowhere is the bankrupt policy and corrupt
ed leadership of the A. F. of L. more in evil
dence than in New England. These officials
tell the restless workers, you're doomed un-
less you can help the employers stabilize busi-
ness. Industry is leaving New England and
going South. If you make it more difficult for
the employers by striking and demanding wage
increases, then you will simply drive industry
out of New England faster than it is going.
Stay peaceful, don't strike. Be willing to
compromise. Cooperate with the employers in
stablizing business" No strikes, help the boss
B to put over the speed-up, and go out and
become statesmen for union label bosses, are
the planks in this program. When workers
reply, "But won't speed-up make our troubles
worse, bring more unemployment and acci-
dents?' the A. F. Of L. official grows red in
the face and storms, you've been talking to
those damn reds"
Forward Under Communist Leadership.
In October, of last year, the A. F. of L. organ
izations of this region called "New England
Labor Congress-" to which were invited en-
ployers, governors and other politicians, and
labor delegates. The purpose of this gather
ing was "a discussion of the industrial sit
uation in New England" The officials hoped
to use the conference as means of persuad-
ing union representatives that cooperation with
employers 1Or greater e11lclency was neceS-
sary, and at the same time convince employers
that the owners of industry need their services
in putting over the speed-up. Joint commits
sions, composed of labor officials and employ
ers, are to be organized for the various in
dustries. The New England A. F. of l.. Of
ficialdom has openly come out as an agency
for increasing the workers exploitation.
There is only course open to New Eng
land workers. They must adopt a fighting
policy, on the basis of broad program and
under leadership trained in militant tactics
the leadership Of the Communist Party and
Trade Union Unity League. This was the way
in which watever gains that were made in the
past were achieved and it is the only way in
which future gains will be made A relentless
battle must be waged against capitalist speed
up and wage cuts, the forces Of the boss-run
government, and all labor takers, while unceas-
ing struggle is carried on for strong unionism,
a shorter work week, higher wages, abolition of
child labor, equal pay for equal work. and a
full system Of social insurance against old age
dependency unemployment, industrial accidents
and occupational diseases (the funds of this
insurance to be supplied by employers and ad-
ministered by workers organizations). Textile
workers of New Bedford and other centers
have pointed Che way, putting up valiant strug-
giles under the leadership of the National Tex
tile Workers Union and the Communist Party,
and strikes under T.U.U U.L leadership are loom
ing in the needle-trades and shoe industries

Membership Drive Will Be Prolonged
The Polburo of the C. C. has decided to pro-
long the membership drive. The reason for this
is the broad unemployment campaign now
started by the Party leading up to the Inter
national Unemployed Day, Feb. "a. Every
Party member has to take the most active part
in this drive, and every phase of it has to be
connected with the recruiting drive of the Party.
Our Party is now standing before tremendous
test, and the spirit shown in the unemployment
campaign so far and in the drive for strength
ening the Party indicates the best opportuni-
ties for success in carrying out these tasks.
The polburo has decided to prolong the men,
bership drive to March 1. Every district should
to that day at least fill the quota. Do not
raise the quota, follow Detroit's example, go
over the top!
Every District Committee must at once take
practical steps to secure the keeping of our
new members in the Party. All departments
to be mobilized to that end, especially the
Agitprop Departments. Likewise the Section
Committees and nucleus buros. Polticalize
the meetings of our units. Section Committee
members and District Committee members
must frequently visit other nuclei than their
own, and not stay only for few minutes, but
give real guidance and political leadership.
Glasses, study groups and educational meet
ings have to be organized by the units and Sec
tions for the new members. Every District
Committee is responsible for keeping the
Party as strong as it emerges from the men,
bership drive. Our slogan must be: Not sin
gle new member must be lost.
