cuts and the most inhunan Speedup
system. This holds true to all the
other industries in the city of De-
troit Increased unemployment,
slashing of wages, speeding up the
workers as never before, and yet the
city council and the whole city ad-
ministration under the leadership
Of Mr.. Murphy, the mayor Of the
city, see fit to inaugurate a system
of economy, as they call it, clos
ing thereby the lodging houses and
striking off thousands of workers
from the relief lists.
Councilman Bradley, who gets
$4,000 a year salary for the part
time job as a city councilman, pre-
sentS a resolution cutting welfare
expenses to $7000oo0, for the COM
ing year; when in the past year, I'M
der less difficult circumstances, over
$l9,000,000 was spent, and this $i9,-
100000 was by far not sufficient for
the actual needy ones in the city of
Detroit. Councilman Ewald and Cast
stor, supposed to be labor repre-
sentatives" in the city council, did
not offer a word in protest until after
the demonstration of the unemploy-
ed workers from the city lodging
houses on Monday, July 9Th.
1.-THE serious reduction in the re-
lief we're supposed to be made in the
interest of the poor" taxpayers. If
the Detroit city council really had
the welfare of the poor" taxpayers
at heart, they would reduce taxes
on the small properties, and increase
them on the large ones thru the es-
tablishment of graduated income
tax. Mr.. Bradley let the "cat out
of the bag, when he said that the
bankers insist that unemployment
relief be cut down. This shows plain
ly and openly who the actual govern
ment in this city is. The city ad-
ministration is merely a tool, an ag-
ency in the hands of the bankers
and automobile manufacturers.
1.-THE city council claims that its
action in reducing the welfare funds
we're in the interest of ECONOMY
Economy is certainly needed in city
finances. But this economy" shall
not come and need not come at the
expense of the thousands of hungry
unemployed men, women and children
Instead of cutting the neaSely well
fare allowances of the starving fami-
lies let the economy" of the city
council begin at home and let them
slash the salaries of the mayor, the
city council and all other city off1ci-
ais, who can certainly get along on
g. great deal less, and who can stand
a cut easier than the hungry unem-
ployed. Let all high wages Of the
public officials be slashed to the
bone. Those workers still employed
in the factories have had their wages
slashed to the starvation point al
ready.
1.-THE answer of the state and city
governments to the demands of the
unemployed workers were and still
are up TO the present time, evictinf
workers from their homes, police bru-
talities against the members anc

deportation. Yesterday morning q
huge demonstration prevented scabs
from entering the mill. The crowds
left the mill for the court house at
nine O'Clock, to protest the SEN
fencing of Anna Bur1ak, one of the
leaders of the National Textile
Workers Union, to 30 days and 5000
fine. The case is being appealed.
Yesterday afternoon the biggest
demonstration of all was held at the
mill, although the entire block was
roped off and guarded by police.
The strikers broke through and
picketed the mill one hour, when
the state police read the riot act
and Immediately threw fifty gas
bombs into the packed masses. Riot
guns were aimed at the strikers.
The crowd held their ground for
over an hour, raining stones on the
police who attacked them. A To-
year-old girl was brlltally dubbed on
a vital part of her body by a police
man. Tear gas was thrown into the
strike hall and prevented mass
meeting there. The workers marched
to an open lot, where the mass meet
ing was held. Murdoch and Rogers,
who is native-born American, were
arrested at the union office in the
morning and rushed to East Boston
for immediate deportation. A picket
line is being prepared for Monday
at the Royal Mill, where 1000 are
striking.
Demand Burlak's Release.
CENTRAL FALLS, r. L.. July 10.
"A crowd OF over 1000 silk mill
strikers and synpathizers demon
strated before the court house here
today, demanding the release of
Anna Burlak, N.T.W.U. organizer,
from the framed-up charge Of
throwing pepper at a scab. State
and local police used force in an at
tempt to disperse the crowd and the
workers defended themselves.
Burlak was sentenced to one
month In Jail and fined $500. The,
Strikers Defense Committee and the
international Labor Defense imme-
diateiy appealed the case and Sc
cured her release under $4,000 bail.
When she walked out of the court
room the demonstration was re-
newed.
Today's demonstration came on
the heels Of the unsuccessful attempt
Of the General Fabrics Co. to re-
open the mill yesterday with a
handful o fscabs. When this at
tempt was made Royal mill strikers
came down to the General Fabrics
picket line and helped to keep the
scabs out. The demonstration be-
came lively at o'clock, when some
scabs tried TO hit one of the pick
cts. They got the worst of it, as
the strikers defended themselves.
The workers also defended them
selves from the attacks of the po-
lice, who rushed to the defense OF
the scabs. The police used tear gas

Sitting Of Production of
Manufactured Goods Hit
BY Chicago U. Economist

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, Aug.
81 (U.S). - Sitting Of the pro-
duction of manufactured goods,
accompanied by cutting down Of
employment and reductions in
wages and purchasing power. has
resulted in a scarcity of products
which could be given in exchange
for the farmers agricultural
produce, and has caused great
economic instability, according to
Prof. Jacob Viner, Of the Uni
versity of Chicago, who spoke
before the Institute of Politics
on Economic Planning"
Hits Antitrust Law
Prof. Viner advocated the free
ing of production by removal of
harmful antitrust laws rather
than the cutting down Of pro-
duction, which reduces employ
ment and the purchasing power
Of the worker.
In Russia, he said, it was not
80 much the plan as the purpose
of the plan and the general agree
ment to the details Of the plan.
He added:
eve have lots Of planning
the business man plans for
profits, and the politician plans
for votes"
Duties of Business
Business leaders of today should
realize they have duties to per
form as well as powers to exer-
else, was the view expressed by
F. M. Wilson. former Undersecre-
tary of State.
The opinion was expressed by
Gilbert H. Montague, who drew
UP several of the antitrust laws,
that the Supreme Court should
continue to administer the rule
of reason" taking into account
new conditions when applying
existing antitrust legislation.
