necessary TO have watchers at the polls,
but that they should be voluntary
watchers and not paid. He admitted
that practical politicians might say that
1t is necessary to pay the watchers.
But / am not so sure that 1t Is"
said the witness
The witness admitted that 1t might
be wise to limit the extent Of q Federal
corrupt practices act, so as not to deal
with treating" employment Of workers
and so forth, on account Of opposition
which might arise from several States.
He declared, however, that something
must be done TO have Federal regula-
ton reach the primary election for the
Senate and the House. He referred 20
recommendation made by the late
President Roosevelt in 1907 that IL
might be wise to have the Government
contribute money TO political parties for
their campaigns and then insist that
the political parties live up TO all rules
laid down.
Should Be Abolished.
"n you establish a limit for expendi-
lures" said Prof Pollock, lit should be
an absolute limit and should cover every
kind Of expenditure, without leaving any
loopholeS for evasion"
The witness suggested that IL q limit
is to be fixed, it might be based on so
much per vote Of the total vote cast In
the last presidential election. He suk-
gested 4 cents per vote as the expendi-
ture TO be allowed for candidates for
the House. with a proviso that In no
case should the amount be less than
81 900 or more than IS, 900.
Senator Dill asked II that was not q
very low estimate.
The witness replied that he had
talked with men who had frequently
run for the House and that they thought
1t was sufficient He added that he was
not particularly interested in fixing q
limit for expenditures, but that II q
limit was fixed it should seek TO keep
down expenditures.
Senator Dill pointed out that a man
in ONCE has a, big advantage over a
candidate not IN once. Prof. Pollock
said that he saw no way Of reaching
that matter by statute.

Arsenal Tells How to
Murder Unemployed
Demanding Relief

EDEWOOD ARSENAL, Maryland,
Feb. 10.-Detailed plans to murder
thousands of unemployed workers
through the use of poison gas are
outlined in the official magazine,
Chemical Warfare" edited by the
staff of the Chemical Werfare School
at Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland. The
poison gas school is part of the
United States military machine.
In January, 1881, issue Of Chem
ical Warfare" the bosses plans for
killing off of the unemployed who
demand unemployment insurance, not
only by machine gun fire, but by
poison gas is explained in detail. Here
is the complete plan of how the
Chemical Warfare corps propose to
deal with the unemployed, at the in
stigation of the bosses:
Let us consider briefly, the en-
ployment of chemical troops in
peace time or civil disturbances
At the present time, this country is
confronted with an unemployment

10000 FAMILIES
STARVING in LA

SEREPORT, La, Feb. 10.--At least
10000 families in the North Loui-
siana are facing starvation, admits
Harry D. Wilson, State Commissioner
Of Agriculture, who has just COM
pleted tour Of that section. That
this estimate does INTO include the
Negro families is quite probable, since
the white ruling class expects the
Negro workers to live on the scraps
thrown out by the white families.
UNLESS the Federal Government
takes immediate action to provide
financial aid for persons in the
drought-affected areas, 10000 families
in Louisiana are faced with an almost
hopeless future and many of them
with starvation" Wilson admits, adj

NEW YORK.-More proof showing
how the United States government
svindles the unemployed by taking
the figures on the number Of jobless

statement published by the New York
State labor commissioner. Francis Per-
kins. This statement which appears
in the New York Times (Feb. 81.

HENDERSON LAYS
GROUND FOR WAR
Covers Up Labor Party
Arms Expenditures

Every preparation for war is being
undertaken by the Labor government
under the leadership of Ramsay Mac
Donald and Arthur Henderson, 'La.
Dor" foreign secretary. With monu-
mental hypocrisy, Arthur Henderson
launched the usual peace" propa.
ganda which precedes imperialist war
when he spoke to 5000 who filled
Queens Hall in London Monday
night.
At the very moment when the Brit
ish, along with the other capitalist
nations, are increasing their war arm

Macdonald and Henderson put for.
ward proposals for increases in the
navy, army and air forces, Hender-
son comes out with speech "deplor-
ing" the rapid war preparations.
To cover UP the hand Of the La
Dor Government in these war moves
Henderson says:
once war begins, no man and
no government can control it." In
short. when the Labor Party starts
war in the interest of the imperial
ist powers, it wants to be absolved
from the blame as mo government
can control it."
Henderson admitted in his speech
that the next war will slaughter off
even more millions than the last war
did.
"The next war;" he said, twill not
be like the last. A great military
expert has said that in the last war
we were killing by retail, but next
time we shall do it wholesale. The
next war, IL ii should ever come, will

The labor minister, of course, was
consciously silent on the fact that
under the labor government the air.
craft forces that will use this poison
gas to kill off the workers, have been
increased at greater pace than ever
before.

Bitter Cold

Despite the bitter cold weather

While over 10000 workers were

while and then leaving, due to the
bitter cold. Over a thousand stood
across the street on the opposite
side Of the demonstration. More
huddled around the square in spots
where the wind was not so sharp.
Mulrooney had modified hundreds
of police at the square. Many more
were stationed in nearby buildings
and at the Tammanv headquarters
on Seventeenth, Street, at the east
edge of the square. Besides, there
wer dozens of plain clothes dicks
shot through the crowd, bulldozing
the unemployed.
Promptly at IL noon, when the
square was nearly filled, five speak
ers' platforms were put up and the
speakers began to address the crowd
and explaining the purpose of the
meeting. A unanimous vote was
given to the Unemployment Insur-
ance Bill and in support of the de-

ton. Thousands of copies of the
Daily Worker and Labor Unity were
sold. There were many banners and
placards calling for mass support
of the coming dress strike.
