 Pinchot estimated the American payroll loss at between $1O,OO0,- 100000 and $12,o00,000,000 a year and said that wives and children of the unemployed were suffering.
 Pinchot criticized President Hoover's plan for local relief as ''vicious for several reasons"
 Tt hits the little fellows with a request for a days pay and spares the big ones," the Governor said. "It is an attempt to get by without an income tax increase"

the story of the Russian author Dos

1t was during the rule Of Nicholas
that the first signs Of opposition
to the old serfdon appeared. The
middle class was rising and with this
the beginnings of a workers move

ed and the Gar used exile, flugging,
Imprisonment, censorship and every
other means to suppress the revolu-
tionary circles which carried on the
propaganda for the new order.
One Of the most important circles
of this period was the Petrashevsky
group, named after its leader. The
members of this organization were
young teachers, army officers, writers
without definite program, but they
all offered their individual remedies
Of mysticism, religion and utopian
Dostoievski was a mem

MOVE TO OUTLAW
ALL RENT STRIKES
Unemployed Council
Calls for Struggle

NEW YORK. = The Unemployed
Council of Greater New York, 10 E.
18th Street, yesterday vigorously con-
demned the attempt of the Bronx
Landlords Association to have the
City pass law making the organi-
zation of a rent strike crime. and
called for united action on the part
of the workers to fight the proposed
bill.
The statement issued by the Un-
employed Council said, in part: "The
Bronx Landlords Association has
launched a campaign to have the
New York City government pass a
law making the organization or agi-
tation for a rent strike a crime.
1.-THE answer Of the workers to this
attack on our right to organize must
be more organization. In every house
and block let us build the Unemploy-
ed Committees. Under the leadership
of the Unemployed Councils we must
unitedly resist every eviction. The
mass rent strike, spread over whole
sections of the city, must be our an
swer to the landlords who charge
robber rents and to the city and its
courts which evict those who cannot
pay. Not through appeals to the
bosses courts such as are being irl-
dulged in now by the Socialist Par
ty misleaders of the Tenants League
in the Bronx, but militant united
struggle of the workers will the fight
for lower rents be won"

Painters Turn Lockout
Into Strike; Compel
New Boss to Settle

NEW YORK. Three weeks ago the
painters of the I.dbinsky Paint shop
at 446 Kingston Ave, were locked
out. The boss counting on the help
Of the Brotherhood Union to supply
scabs, thought he could break the
shop committee. Jake. strike
breaker of the Brownsville Lo3al of
the Brotherhood Of Painters got busy
supplying scabs This is the only
wor1 he could get the union mem
befs.
One contractor by the name of
Epstein, found that 1t does not pay
to try and fight the Alteration
Painters Union, because it is a los
ing battle.
In spite of the supply of scab con-
tractors and painters by the Brother
hood, the workers in the shop turned
the lockout into a strike, and under
the leadership of the Alteration
Painters Union won the strike.
Lubinsky has been forced to give
up the painting business. A con-
tractor signed with the union by
the name of Manister took over all
the work, and put to work all the
painters who were locked out.
The strike at the Skaler Constrrc-
ton Co. is continuing solid. The
workers have turned back about 100
scabs who tried to work. The strik-
ers are determined to fight until the
strike is won. The strike is for an
increase in wages.

CALL OFF R. R.
PAY CUT SESSION
Will Now Use Watson
Parker Law

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 81. -
The original railroad wage cut plan
goes through The cut will be made
by the machinery provided by the
government, it will follow the course
laid down in the Watson-Parker law
with the companies demanding 20
per cent reductions
The proposal made last week for
the Railroad Brotherhood heads to
meet on the wage cut with the CON-
mittee of Nine representing all S.le
railroads, was either a sham, to give
the Brotherhood chiefs a chance to
pretend militant rejection of the cut,
or it was countermanded at the last
minute by Brotherhood officials fear
full of revolt among the rank and
file.
Whitney's Letter.
Today A. F. Whitney, Chairman of
the BrotherhoodS' negotiations COM
mittee wrote to w. P. Thiehoff, head
of the, conpany's committee
FWe are unanimously of the opin-
ion that a wage conference at this
time would be unwise, and that, hav-
ing no authority to enter upon such
a conference. we should not either
seek such authority or encourage any
effort to inaugurate wage negoti-
ations.
you know that the railway en-
ployes have suffered not only 40
per cent loss of employment, Whit
ney told Thiehoff, "but that a major
ity of those working have had only
part time employment with 10 per
cent deduction from compensation.
'You know that our conditions
have grown steadily worse since the
agreement of January 81, 1882. No
one would truly represent the en-
ployes by encouraging any effort to
do anything except to improve pres
ent conditions"
Form Committees!
The Trade Union Unity League
long ago urged the Railroad Workers
to prepare to resist the wage cut, by
electing rank and file committees of
action in all lodges of the Brother
hoods, and by starting agitation and
introducing resolutions in the lodge
meetings to reject any cut.

Refuse to Dispense; Do
1t Again Tonight

NEW YORK. - The strike of the
200 metal workers of the Rex Pro-
ducts Corp. entered its third week
yesterday "wednesday with the
most militant mass picket demon
stration held since it began. Despite
the repeated attempts of the cops to
dispense them by force the long line
of pickets continued to march back
and forth in front of the shop, two
abreast, enthusiastically shouting
their demands and singing picket
songs.
The boss has succeeded in getting
small handful of scabs into the
shop, but these are unable to put
out any work The strike is as solid
as ever, with the key departments in
the shop crippled.
At the strike meeting yesterday
morning steps were taken to reor-
ganize the strike committee and
broaden it out.
Separate meetings of all depart
ments were held which elected de-
partment committees SO as to better
be able to check up on the activity
of all strikers.
All workers are called to the mass
picket demonstration to be held this
evening in front of the shop this
Thursday evening, Sis p. m. The
address of the shop is 81 University

MILLS CASE IS
SENT TO DOAK
Marchers' Militancy
Saved Him Once

NEW YORK.-The case of A. w.
Mills, who is threatened with de-
portation for his activities among
the unemployed workers, was refer
red to Secretary of Labor Doak for
final decision, after yesterdays
hearing before immigration Commits
sioner Macintosh at Ellis Island.
The hearing started at 10 o'clock
yesterday and ended at 4 o'clock in
the afternoon. Mills was assisted by
.Schwab, attorney for the Interna-
tional Labor Defense. He was
charged with having organized the
National Hunger March in which
thousands of workers participated
last Fall, and with having modified
workers for struggle in Pittsburgh
and Buffalo.
Asked whether and why he thinks
that his deportation should not be
carried out, Mills maintained his
right to organize the employed and
unemployed workers for the strugg-
lie against misery and starvation.
The hearing brought to LIGHT an
important document showing the i'm
portence of mass fight as the only
means of defeating the attempts to
arrest and deport workers. Mills
was shown a statement by the Wash
ington Police DEPARTMENT and the
Department of Justice addressed to
the Immigration INSPECTOR who had
demanded that Mills be arrested
while addressing the workers partici-
rating in the National Hunger
March,
The statement declared that 'fn
view of the excitement and the mil
itsncy of the workers to call upon
Mills while On the platform or to
take him off the platform while
speaking would mean just as much
as if stick of dynamite would be
thrown in the hail. Such action
would cause terrible fight and the
Negrocs would fight like tigers"
Had ii not been for the lighting
mood o, the workers and especially
the Negro workers, Mills would nave
bcen arrested in washington, this
document revealed.
Member of Communist Party.
Mills declared that he is mem
Der of the Communist Party but
frustrated the efforts VI tlie Inlmi-
grafton officials to label tile National
Hunger March as a purely Comrnu-
mist demonstration. Mills stated that
while the Communists fully supported
the National Hunger March, its
leader was the National Committee
of the Unemployed Councils, repre-
senting workers Of every political
opinion.
The hearing established beyond
even the shadow of doubt that the
deportation of Mills, as we'll as the
deportation of Berkman and other
militant workers. is being sought as
a means of weakening the struggle
of the employed and unemployed
workers against the hunger offensive
of the bosses.
The workers must therefore inten-
sify the struggle in defense of Mills,
Rerkman and others. f1oading Sec
rotary of Expectations Doak with
kilograms Of protest.
