Seek Tax Cut

How Minnesota taxpayers are re-
ducing taxes through reducing tax
spending was brought to the atten-
ton of Congress on the opening day
of it's session, December 7, through
telegraph messages from the Mime
sofa Taxpayers association to the
presiding officials of both the Senate
and House.
The messages told of the more than
six million dollars Minnesota taxpay-
ers have reduced levies for 1882 and
suggested to Congress that if it
wanted a practical means of reducing
national taxes that it copy the Min
nesota plan and proceed to curb its
tax spending.
The messages were signed by the
officers and directors of the state as
ISOLATION and by the. presidents of
the II county associations in the
states. Redwood county did it's share
to boost its real tax reducing system
before Congress through signature of
D. L. Crimmins, president of the
Redwood County Taxpayers Associa-
ton.

 The League played to 1887 900 paid admissions during the past season compared with 1,673000 dur ing the season of 1880. The decrease is accounted for by the 1881 sea- son being shorter by two weeks.

WORKERS
DEMAND RELIEF

CANTON. Ohio, July 13.--while
last years Community Fund set aside
Sal 900 last year for relief of the I'M
employed and they had to collect an
additional $4,000 in the winter, still
they have set aside only $8I 900 from
this years fund On the other hand,
more workers are jobless than a year
ago. 1t is quite evident that next
winter will be one Of terror unless
the workers organize and fight. In
stead Of using this public money to
distribute to the unemployed. the
City Welfare Assn. has q farm Of
40 acres and are raising produce, in
competition with the farmers, and are
paying unemployed workers 50 q day
work on this farm with no addi-
tional relief.
To work out concrete program Of
struggle. and to lay real cases of need
before the workers from the regis
tration now going forward, the Cam
ton Unemployed Council has called
for q convention against unemploy-
nent and hunger to be held on Sun
day. July 10, All workers Organise
tons are asked 10 elect ana send at
least five delegates to this convention.

VIM. Green Pleads With Bosses Against
Army Of Unemployed Next Winter

Green, with his ear TO the com
plants from his fellow takers about
the grumbling Of the workers ard
the greater difficulties for such
takers as himself, Vol, the Music
ties and the Socialists to fool the
masses. warned the bosses OF the sit
uation Coming at the same time
that the German crisis was being in
tensified by leaps and bounds. with
the masses everywhere rapidly losing
their faith in capitalism and prepar-
ing for action. Green's words are
significant. He said to the bosses
THE situation Is more serious
than appears on the surface, but
for some reason those in authority
refuse to act. In the name of God,
are we going to sit still and do
nothing?
All this talk about the hunger and
misery of the masses was spouted by
Green and his fellow takers in the
International Longshoremen's Asso-
citation at the luxurious Hotel Vic
toria, where Green eats the finest of
foods without stint, while millions
face the breadlines

press Report

WASHINGTON, D. c., July Is. -
In a report to President Hoover, the
Wickersham Commission today ad-
mitted that Tom Mooney and Warren
K. Billings are the victims of a Wei
GUS frame-up Shocking to ones sense
Of justice"
The Commission makes no recon-
mendation. however, for the reopen
ing of the case or for any action
whatever. 1t makes an attempt to
cover up the facts Of the persecution
by the boss courts of militant work
ers and tries to divert blame from
the capitalist system as such to
Judges whom it declares TO be "incon-
petent, weak or politics-ridden."
It makes fake gesture for "the
complete divorce" Of the adninistra-
ton of capitalist justice from capital
list politics.
The commission cites the refusal
of the trial court Of an application
for a new trial on "the ground that
the prosecuting attorney had been
guilty of fraud in withholding from
the trial court information impeach-
ing the testimony Of certain witness
ses", and the refusal of the Califor-
MIA Supreme Court to grant a new
trial despite the discovery Of new
evidence charging perjury on the
part Of a material witness for the
state"
The commission also siaps the
wrist of the capitalist press and prac-
tically admits that Mooney and Bill
lings were convicted in advance OF
their trial with the help of hysteria
engendered by the boss press.
The Wickersham report on the
Mooney Billings case was published
under the heading The Lawlessness
Of the Law" A bitter controversy
ragged as to its publication, many
capitalist groups and individuals, in

have it suppressed.

by the so-called suitcase and Bag
Makers Union Of the A. F. of L.
Thanks TO such misleadership, whose
only task at shop and general mem
bership meetings is to demoraize the
workers. the bosses were able to get
anything they wanted. Their usual
abb was that we are living through
a terrible crisis, therefore we can
not put up g. resistance against the
demands Of the bosses.
A. F. of L. Helps Wage Cuts
For instance, the Metropolitan
Suitcase Co., which employs about
40 workers, was able to introduce
a piece work system and cut the
wages between is and 20 per cent.
Only recently another substantial
wage cut took place. Many of the
workers wages were cut as much as
40 per cent. And when the workers
came to their shop meeting and pro-
tested that their wages were low
enough and that they could not
stand TO have them cut further, the
only answer they got from the man
ager, Joffe, is that the workers must
count on the circumstances.
This same faker and his bench
men, who were elected into leader
ship OF the union, declared at the
first meeting after their election that
they would not allow a reduction in
wages or a lowering Of living con-
ditions Of the workers But what
are the actual facts2 These takers
and liars have assisted the bosses to
cut the wages and introduce piece
