WAGNER AND HOW
USING JOBLESS
Seek Notoriety and Big
Graft in Washington

WASHINGTON, Mar. 1S.-Sena-
tor Wagner, of New York, bosom
friend of Walker and Whalen, who
slugged and beat unemployed work
ers at the orders of the big bosses,
and arrested the leaders, elected by
10000 workers at the March 6
demonstration, today said before
the Senate Commerce Committee
that the unemployment situation in
the United States is more severe
than at any time in the history of
the country.
Lots of Graft.
Wagner is not at all interested in
the unemployed worker. His view
point is precisely that of Walker
and his Tammany Hall grafters, who
tried to "laugh off" the demands of
the jobless workers.
Another publicity seeker trying to
crawl into the limelight on the I'M
employment issue is the so-called
millionaire hobo" James Eads How
the Barnum of the flop houses.
How, together with 25 unemployed
workers, will appear before the SEN
ate committee so that How may
have the pleasure of seeing his name
in the papers.

MOUNDSVILLE, w. Va, Mar. Is.
The story of the courageous strug

strike here and in Powhatan, O.,
since February 2, has seeped thru
the walls of the Moundsville State
Penitentiary here.
From the prisoners has just come
the sum of 1892 as a contribution
to the strikers relief fund. The
sum was accumulated from the pen
MES allowed the prisoners from their
work on contract products. In the
penitentiary are four living symbols
of the workers struggles-Frank
Brobot, Alex Chessman, John M.
Lynch and Lawrence Allen, who are
serving terms of varying length for
activity in the militant labor move
ment.
Brobot, a coal miner, is now serv-
ing a term of from five to seven
years in the penitentiary here, after
being framed up on dynamiting
charge during the 1928 strike in
Triadelphia, w. Va, under the
leadership of the "Save- the Union"
forerunner of the National Miners
Union, which is conducting the pres

BULLETIN.

WASHINGTON. D. c., March
1S.-The senate adopted today, by
vote of 81 to "a an amendment
to the tariff bill which fOrbids
the importation of revolutionary
literature. The amendment states,
in part: that there shall be pro-
hibited "any book, pamphlet,
writing, advertisement, circular
print, picture or drawing contain
ing any matter advocating or
urging treason, instruction or
forcible resistance to any law of
the United States. :"
Further items of the same
amendment prohibit whatever a
special court may class as COB
scene" and anything that may be
used for birth control.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Mar. 49,
Realization that the Grundy "gentle-
mems agreement" in the senate has
made inevitable the enactment of
the highest tariff rates TIE country
has ever borne, and that the added
burden on American consumers will
be between $800,000,00 and 81, O0O,-
100000, has finally come to head
quarters Of the American Federation
of Labor. The Woll-Flynn high
tariff lobby, cooperating with the
Grundy lobby, has been more than
successful. The added burden to
consumers from Schedule X alone
the wool schedules estimated at
between $50,0OO,0O0 and $4,000, 900.
In short, the cost of living for every
wage earner's family is going up,
and Matthew Vol, vice president of
the ALL, has been one of tie most
active lobbyists for high tariff.
When these new tariff rates take
effect the weekly earnings of every
wage Garner in America will buy
less goods. From sugar to furniture
the pinch will be felt.
