The tenth report of the Wicker
sham Commission which was made
public Saturday contains mass OF
material showing the vicious attack
on the foreign born workers by the
Hoover administration. The report
was suppressed for over two months,
since it's completion on May 81 in
order that the attack on the mil
liant foreign born workers could be
speeded up and thousands more
could be deported without stirring
up the militant resistance of the
working class.
In characterizing the deportation
OF the Hoover government, the re-
port admits that unconstitutional,
tyrannic, and oppressive methods"

Hoover listened to a special report
made by Senator Herbert of Rhode
Island on unemployment insurance
in European countries Previously
the Wall Street president announced
that the only form of insurance he
favored for the unemployed was that
TO be taken up by big corporations,
which would mean wage cut with
out any relief whatever to the job
less. A statement issued by the pres
ident, declares he has talked over the
plan of fighting unemployment in
surance with Labor and financial
leaders
The labor leaders" fully approve
the hunger project of the bosses and
go even a step further to keep the
workers from fighting for real relief
at the expense of the bosses.

"Much of the trouble expert
enced by motorists in starting
in cold weather could have
been been averted by an under
standing of the causes"
Thus said E. j. Payne, manager
of the Washington Exide store
room Of the Electric Storage
Battery Company, stated last
week.
"GasOIine does not vapOrize
quickly during the winter
months; oil does not liquify
rapidly, and consequently a
greater load is thrown on the
battery.
"A fully charged battery is
the only solution in this con-
d!tiOn. Every cell should be in
sound condition. Weak cells
are often undetected during
warm weather.
can interesting example of
the value of battery care in
low temperatures is furnished

which carried Sir Hubert Will
kins and his party in their
