Coming back to Mr.. Capone we have no objec-
tons to the government taxing his liquor profits
Other businesses are taxed, and it would be unjust
as well as improvident to let fthe largest and
richest industries in the country escape taxation.
Our objection is that the governments method is
inefficient. Catching only few booteggers and
having inadequate income tax returns the govern
ment gets very little tax from the industry If it
would repeal the nullifed prohibition law the
underground liquor industry would come into the
open for taxation.
The liquor tax plus the saving of expenditures on
lawless and ineffective enforcement of the unen-
forcable law, would wipe out the annual billion
dollar federal deficit
Such reform would do more than balance our ma
tonal budget. It would reduce racketeering and
crime. 1t would reduce general hypocrisy and dis
respect for law. 1t might even reduce the consump-
ton of liquor. We are convinced it would reduce
drunkenness.

The only species of racing turtles
are the box and gopher turtles. Gal
apagos turtle, a giant race of land
turtles now nearly extinct, when
captive in geological gardens, can
be made to move in any desired di-
rection by holding a pole to which
a banana or a carrot is attached in

from beneath tubs in the center Of

Of course that would nulIfy the amendment, but
several Of the constitutional including
the eigfrteenth-are being nullifed today, anyway.
This method is illogical But it is the American way.
We never have repealed our amendments. We
merely have killed them by failing to pass enforce
ment laws or by repeating those enforcement laws
This amendment should be repealed. But that will
take time. Meanwhile, the American method of re-
pealing the law probably will be used.

Senator Wheeler Admits Bosses
Purpose to Lower Standards

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Speaking
Saturday in the Senate on the atti-
tude of Hoover and the U. S. Con-
gress towards relief for the starving
millions of unemployed factory work
ers and ruined share choppers, tenant
farmers and poor farmers. Senator
Wheeler openly admitted the inten-
ton of the bosses and their govern
ment to force the toiling masses to
bear the full burdens of the crisis
and to use their present suffering to
force still lower the standard of
living:
ut Is a determination to make
the great masses of the people of
the country pay the price through
suffering, through hunger, through
the lowering ultimately of living
standards and wage scales, that is
back of the present situation"
This significant admission was fol-
lowed up by further admissions by
the fake progressive to the effect that
the compromise on the So-called
drought "relief" measure was face
saving compromise" that the Con-
gress was unwilling to appropriate
dollar to the hundreds of thousands

Jail 20 Starving Negro and White
Workers for Charging Food to City
Cleveland Unemployed
Refuse to See Their
Families Starve

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 9-Twenty
unemployed Negro and white workers
who refused to continue to see their
families starve walked into a food
store, ordered baskets of food to take
home and told the storekeeper to
charge it to the city. They were all
arrested.
The international Labor Defense
demanded the men be let out on bail.
The unemployed workers are being
held by the Detective Bureau for Gin
vestigation" and the police informed
the I. L. D. eve will let you know the
results tomorrow"
There is the danger that these men
will receive the safe treatment that
other unemployed workers received for
the same "offense" Eva Logan, Ne
gro unemployed woman, is still in the
hospital as result of the injuries she
received from a policeman's club.
The International Labor Defense
calls upon all workers to rally to the
demonstration at Public Square, Feb.
10, where the brutalities of the CAPT
talists against the unemployed will be
exposed and fought against.

Mayor James A. Vert, and at the
low wages paid, will be sent to jail.
This is decision of the mayor of
Paulsboro made few days ago.
Mayor Vert is conscripting labor
to stop a gypsy moth plague which
is threatening 500 shade trees of this
city. He does not ask the unem-
ployed to work at the low wages,
but threatens them with Jail if they
do not comply.
The decision applies to married I'M
employed workers so that its sting
will be felt more sharply. It is not
so easy for the married jobless work
ers to get out of town rather than
be fol led into the slavery offered
them or if they fail to do this, to
get a Jail term.
The work is supposed to consist
OF cutting down and trimming trees
effected by the gypsy moth. No
cutlery has been made about forced
labor by Fish, Vol or Green. They
are quite willing to force workers
to slave or go to Jail SO long as it
is in the interest of the capitalists
or their national, state or city gov
eminent.

500 Chicago Workers Fight
High Bread Prices; Iail FtUe
Bosses Get Injunction From Favorite Judge;
But Workers Pledge to Continue
Struggle Against Hunger

CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. 9.-Hundreds
of workers and their wives demon
strated here yesterday afternoon
against the slow starvation capitalism
forces upon them. In their fight
against the high price of bread they
have been picketing and demonstrat-
ing in front Of the neighborhood bak-
cries. The owners of nine bakeries
recently resorted to their usual meth
ods, by getting an injunction against
the picketing. The police were sent
to enforce the injunction and break
up the demonstration.
A protest meeting was Immediately
arranged, where 5000 workers and
their families pledged to keep up the
fight and demonstrate again next
day. After the meeting they all
marched to one of the biggest baker
les, near Humboldt Park, where these
workers live. There they were met
by the police. After a fight that
lasted well over an hour the police
broke the demonstration and arrested
five workers-two men, two women
and a young worker IA years old. All
we're charged with disorderly conduct
and then released.
The Councils of Working Glass
Women and the Working Mothers
have led the week of picketing against
the ten-cent bread price. They are
demanding six-cent per loaf price.
