WASHINGTON-(FP)-"Com and
get uslp is the defiant answer of the
bonus expeditionary forces to Presi-
dent Hoover's order, issued late in the
afternoon of July q, that they evacu
ate all camps in the District of Co.
lumbia and surrender all National
Guard tents and field kitchen equip
ment. Hoover's written order to Police
Superintendent Glassford, which goes
so far as to prohibit the moving of the
bonus army into private premises,
until these buildings shall be officially
inspected and found t. comply with
all the plumbing laws and other regu-
lations, has united the ranks of the
ex-servicemen as has no other event
since their arrival in the capital.

was the statement made by the
Detroit Cleveland left-wing regiment,
which had successfully used that
method when police tried to drive
them out, early in June, from the
vacant buildings into which they had
moved. eve want no clash with the
police, no violence Of any sort. We
shall simply lie down where we are"
Commander Waters Of the B. E. F.
regulars, who make up more than
four-fifths of the total, issued a formal
statement after he had discussed the
Hoover ultimatum with delegates
from the various camps.
"The commissioners of the District
of Columbia" he said, "in a con-
tinuance of their efforts to force the
B. E. F. to leave Washington, have
forced a new crisis by their orders to
.evacuate, in less than SO hours after
national headquarters was advised of
their intention, one of the largest
environments of our organization. The
buildings at Third street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue house approximately
1,oVV men, composing the SlXtn regl-

Sunday to evacuate this cantonment;
it was replaced late yesterday after

countries march happily into the day
of the cooperative commonwealth, in
which no man shall exploit the toll of
another, but all shall build the com
mon progress and enjoyment Of a
richer, more civilized life.
At the Anacostia camp next morn
ing the socialist candidate told the
veterans that they were entitled to
cash payment of the bonus, and that
they ought to stick to that fight, but
that they should extend it to include
a general program of unemployment
and job relief.
your march on Washington and
encampment here has been one of the
few cheering signs of resentment
against the rotten mess into which
the rulers of the country have led u.s."
he said. "You have given hope to
millions of unemployed Americans. d.
I saw an announcement in the press
the other day that you are going to
form the Bonus Expeditionary Forces
Rank and File of America, to fight to
put the country back on its feet. l
like that phrase rank and file.'
Every worker in the country will
welcome the appearance Of a veter-
ans organization that is interested in
the struggle of the great mass Of the
American people rather than catering
to the few wealthy owners of the
United States. If all of us who are
battling against poverty, misery, low
wages, insecurity of jobs and unequal
distribution of income will stick to-
gether, we can return the country and
government to the people. Let's turn
out a real united front against our
wealthy rulers and their political pup
pets. Use your heads in 1882 and
vote a real rank and file ticket, the
socialist ticket. We offer you a real
plan to get out of the depression, and
that is something neither the repub-
licans nor the democrats do"

Is made. And it is essential that, in
making the adjustment, workers pur-
chasing power shall be kept at the
highest possible level. Drastic reduc-
lions in workers incomes when hours
are reduced would defeat much of the
benefit of shortening the work week.
Labor wants to earn its own liveli-

increased activity Of regular produc-

Unemployed
Army Grows
American Federation of Labor
Official Gives Out Statement
on Unemployment Conditions.

William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, issued
the following statement on unemploy-
ment, based on reports received from
affiliated organizations:
1.-THE fourth winter of unemploy-
ment grows closer. The American
Federation of Labor estimate shows a
mounting army of unemployed, more
than double the army we maintained
for the World war. 1t is a huge task
to maintain such an army, together
with their dependents.
Our estimates of unemployment in
the United States, based IN govern
ment figures, show hat our industries
have laid off more than 1900, 900 per-
sons from January to June, 1882.
Trade union reports the first part of
July show more than twice as many
laid off from June ] to July 1 as in
any other month thisyear. Up to June,
unemployment in industry increased
at an average rate Of 267,OO0 a month;
union figures for the first part of
July Indicate an increase of more than
60O,O 600 since June. If unemployment
continues to increase at this rate we
shall have well over 5000, 600 out of
work by January, 1888.
"Our preliminary estimate for June,
based IN government figures, shows
11,023, 900 out of work and needing
work. Developments since January
have been truly shocking. While
100000 lost their jobs in industry,
even temporary work on farms pro-
vided for only $1,000.
Factories, mines, stores, construc-
ton industries, hotels, railroads and
utilities have all been laying off work
ers by thousands during the five
months since January. The govern
ment indexes of employment show
only n industry creating jobs tout
side of temporary work in agricul-
ture). This is the road building in
dustry which created jobs for $1,000
persons, while factories laid off 640,-
600, the building industry 100000,
wholesale and retail stores another
100000, mines 10000, hotels, rail-
roads and utilities $4,000. Even the
federal government added $4,000 to
the ranks of the unemployed.
"Our estimates showing the total
number of persons out of work, allow
ing for increases in the population are
as follows.

NO ARRESTS IN CITY
DURING 4S-HOUR PERIOD

That Butte is a city compare
lively free from crime is evidenced
by the fact that when a representa-
tive from the Labor News called at
the police station for news he was
informed there had been no arrests
made within the past As hours.
This is a record of which any
city the size Of Butte may well be
proud, ~bespeaking as it does a law
abiding community and an efficient
police force.

senger Of Extortionist to
Collect Money

Cleveland, April S.-(R-A grisly
extortion plot, In which q finger
hacked from a human hand was sent
to prominent Cleveland man as .
terrorizing warning, was investigated
Friday by detectives.
The man who received the threat
was John B. Wilberding. SO. president
of two Building and Loan companies,
former member of the London, O.,
prison commission, and former chair
man of the Cleveland boxing COM
mission.
Accompanying the finger. left In
Wilberding's mail box. was demand
he pay $1,000 to messenger Of the
extortionist.
After an investigation, Police Chief
w. G. Barrows of Clevela d
Heights said the finger-the index
finger hacked from a dead body-had
been stolen from q northern Ohio
medical school. He declined to name
the school.
The finger was traced, the chief
said, by officials of the Western Re-
serve school Of medicine who analy-
Zed the preServative used.
Police also revealed they waited in
ambush at Wilberding's home last
night. the time named in the letter
for the financier to turn the money
over to a messenger. The extortion-
list, however, failed to appear.
The weird extortion plot, police
said, obviously was the work Of a
certain type of underworld character.
A week ago last Tuesday Wilber-
ding received a demand for $4,000,
accompanied by threat Of 'tortur-
ing death" II he failed to pay.

Washington, April s.-(R-Deter.
mined to settle the new tax legisla-
ton at the earliest moment. senate
finance committee members are
thinking Of reconsidering the deci-
sion by which they left the door op-
en- for tariff revision.
Senator Tydings, (Dem. Md.,) Fri.
day offered resolution by which the
senate would direct the committee
not to tamper with the tariff. Under
the rules it went over to Saturday
for consideration. If adopted it
would eliminate duties on coal and
oil voted by the house.
The prospect of an all-summer de-
bate on the tariff as we'll as taxes
prompted formal assurances from
both Republican and Democratic
leaders that every means to speed the
revenue legislation would be employ
ed.
There Is no way Of precluding the
offering Of tariff amendments when
the tax bill reaches the senate floor
but the anti-tariff group is hoping to
muster solid majority that will pre-
clude endless discussion Of the i'm
port duties.
Democrats will resume considera-
ton Of the subject at conference
next week. Senator Robinson of
Arkansas, the party leader, and Sen
ator Harrison of Mississippi, ranking
member Of the finance committee,
both stated disposition for prompt
action. They were joined by Chair
man Smoot.
AS for the tax bill itself, a boost in
the higher surtax rates seems likely.
Senator Connally (Dem., Tex.), Is
preparing schedule raising the max
imum rate Of 40 per cent to so per
cent. He would keep the present
schedule which reaches the maximum
on incomes over 100000, but would
carry the graduation on to about so
per cent at incomes over $5,000,O00.
Unsettled price conditions are be-
ueved to be having great effect in
curbing the tariff talk.

Southern Scientists Get Photos of
Cosmic Rays Smashing Other Matter

New York. April s.-lR-one-
hundreds orty-eight photographs
catching cosmic rays In the act Of
smashing matter have been taken
at Rice Institute, Houston, Texas.
The pictures go far toward
clinching proofs that these invisi-
BILE rays not only drive ceaselessly
through the bodies Of all living
things, but that they disrupt any
atom therein which they happen
to meet head-on.
For years proofs have been
gathering that the rays drive In
from outer space in q rain that Is
uniform alike by day and night
and that they can penetrate sew
eral feet Of lead, or anything
equivalent.
So little has been known about
them up to date that no scientific
investigations have been possible
Of their effects on human health.
In cancer journals q suggestion
has been published. and promptly
discredited, that they might have
something to do with cancers In
crease.

HAVE NOT SELECTED
TEACHERS WHO Will
LEAVE, SAxVIK SAYS
Details of Plan For School Ex.
penditure Slash Remain
to Be Worked Out

Decision as to which six teachers
will not be members Of the Bismarck
public school faculty next year, ir
line with the $36,490 cut in expendi-
lures ordered by the school board
Tuesday night. has not been reached
Superintendent H. o. Saxvik said
Friday morning.
The school board has taken the
position that it does not wish to
drive any teacher out of employ
ment," the superintendent said, and
for this reason final plans for the
economy measure were not made ar
bitrarily.
The expenditures slash called among
other things for the elimination OF
six teachers.
Saxvik said that II there are any
voluntary designations. the resigning
instructors probably will be replaced,
If possible, by present members OF
the faculty. This would help solve
the elimination problem.
The superintendent also pointed out
that suspension of the two kinder
garten classes will be only temporary
and that the school board hopes to
reestablish them later. In spite OF
the suspension, Saxvik said, the two
classes probably will be In operation
next year, since 1t appears probable
that the two teachers will be RETAIN
ed by citizens to conduct private kin
dergarten classes. In this case, he
said, the school system will furnish
rooms and equipment for the classes.
In this way. Saxvik said, the school
board has outlined only a general re-
trenchment. and details of the pro-
gram remain to be worked out.
The program calls for the follow
ing reductions in expenditures for
the l932-1933 year: Elimination Of
teachers and equipment purchased
S10.820: decreases In faculty salaries
$1o,160: reduction in expenses for
operation and maintenance Of school
plant $1,000; and retirement of bonds
in the amount of $500.

RESOLUTION URGES

Some Are Fearful Specifications
Will Preclude Use of

Grand Forks, April s-F-A reso.
luton urging use of North Dakota
materials, as far as possible, in the
construction of the new state capitol
building was forwarded Friday to the
capitol building commission by the
Grand Forks Chamber Of Commerce
The resolution said 1T Is eviden,
that North Dakota building and trade
associations and material men. espe-
cially brick manufacturers, are con-
siderably alarmed over the possibility
that the type Of building and specifi-
cations adopted will preclude the use
|of North Dakota materials.
while we feel your board Is ca
pable OF handling properly all prob
lens which may arise and Is, we know,
DESTROYS OF serving the best interests
OF the state, members of our chamber
are confident such suggestions as we
make will be acceptable to the COM
mission and will be received in the
kindly spirit in which they are Of
fered.
"Our chamber believes a building
faced with brick Of the quality fur
nished by at least one North Dakota
manufacturer would be as lasting and
satisfactory as building with stone
facing; that the backing of walls and
the partitions, whether Of tile or COM
mon brick, can be furnished by sew
eral manufacturers In this state, and
that the use Of such North Dakota
material would result in the saving OF
a great deal Of money.
1T was evidently the intention OF
the legislature that North Dakota
material should be used, other things
being equal, and as far as we can as
certain this is the unanimous wish OF
our citizens. We all know that this
state Is one Of the hardest hit by crop
failures and low prices. No oppor-
tunity should be missed to give pat
ronage to those engaged in legitimate
business In North Dakota who are
having hard struggle to carry on.
I'VE have spent q great deal in the
past advertising the resources Of our
state. Here Is an opportunity to do
worthwhile advertising without cost
In fact, at a financial saving, and
which will be of incalculable benefit
to our state and its resources for all
time.
Our chamber respectfully urges
that your commission give careful
consideration to this very vital issue
and take such action as will be for
the best interests of North Dakota.
