BYRD ADVOCATES
PLAIN PLATFORM
Former Virginia Governor
Discusses Issues in Radio
Address.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June ga platform
telling the people what the Democratic
party proposes to do if placed in power,
written in plain words and terse enough
to be written on the average billboard,
was urged today by former Gov. Harry
Flood Byrd, Virginia's candidate for
the Democratic nomination for the
presidency, in a radio address over
the Columbia network.
"It is not enough to emphasize the
cavillation and timidity of Republican
leadership; we must demonstrate firm
ness and courage of Democratic leader
ship to inspire and direct the enact
ment of a superior program Of restora-
tive and reconstructive measures. The
people may prefer to bear the ills they
have rather than to fly to others they
know not Of" said Mr.. Byrd.
Issues advocated.
Outlining his views, the Virginian
advocated:
REORGANIZATION of the governmental
machinery to reduce the expense of
operation, and separation from the
public pay roll of every office holder
not clearly required in the public serv-
ice to the end that the weight Of taxa
ton may be lessened.
Adjustment of tariffs to encourage
foreign trade and an international
tariff conference to negotiate rational
tariffs on the basis of reciprocal bene-
fits and uuickened trade, with pro-
tective duties limited to the difference
in cost of production at home and
abroad.
Just settlement of foreign debt,
linked with a demand for reduction
in armaments.
Relief for agriculture through tariff
readjustment, an equalization fee TO
be financed mainly by the farmer him
self. and protection of staples, grains
and cotton by prohibiting bear raid
ing.
Favors Repeal Vote.
An amendment to the constitution
which will make possible direct popu-
lar vote on the repeal Of the eighteenth
amendment, with the several states
voting as units.
An income tax with broadened base
to increase the popular interest IN
WHIT the government does with tax
money.
"The countries of the world must
learn to trade together, or they Will
starve together" Byrd said. I'VE cannot
forever sell and never buy without los
ing our foreign markets. We cannot
insulate our interests in policy Of
hard economic insolation and then
hope to send out friendly currents that
will find response in foreign co-opera-
ton"

That country folk and inquisitiveness
has always been synonymous is well IL
lustrated by Franklin, who tells us that
when travelling and wishing to ask his
road, found it necessary to save time
by prefacing his question with, my
name is Benjamin Franklin, am by
trade a printer, am come from such
a place and am going to such place,
and now tell me which is my road?"

Democrats Facing
Same Wet Question
Republicans Settled
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 29.-The pro-
hibition issue today agitating the
Democratic National Convention
was the same that stirred to
frenzy the Republican conclave
two weeks ago, with one differ
ence. The Democrats fight was
one step farther along.
The Republicans struggled over
whether to propose submission of
prohibition repeal, or of revision.
They defeated the former, 68l to
472.
The Democratic choice was
between submitting neutrally an
outright repeal amendment and
committing the party fatty in
favor Of that repeal.

Soviet Film Opening
Today Shows Latest
Progress in Technique

Eisenstein and Pudovkin occupy rel
ative places of Importance in the
movies as Meyerhold and Tiarov 90
on the stage. They have brought a
new and vital breath of life to the
cinema through a thoroughness of
technique by which "actualism" is
achieved.
In the new Soviet film, '"Red and
White" which is to be shown at the
Broadway and 28th Street Theatre
during the week of November % to
December 8 inclusive, we have a very
fine example Of this "actualism" and
ensemble acting. Leonidoff, who
plays the leading role, is an outstand-
ing and distinguished member of the
Moscow Art Theatre, as are several
members of the cast. The play is di
rected in the best tradition of this
group.
In addition to this excellent feature,
there will be shown few selected
short subjects, which include "Imper-
ial Valley study of labor conditions
in this hell hole; America Today" a
neWsreeI on the Scottsboro demonstra-
tions. and a newsreel on the victorious
celebration OF the Russian Revolution
in Moscow.
And remember, the proceeds are for
the benefit of the Hunger Marchers.

Relief Bureaus Offer
Vets Rotten Jobs To
Disrupt Bonus March

NEW YORK. - The Home Relief
Bureaus, cooperating with the Ameri-
can Legion. are trying to put crimp
in the National Bonus March to
Washington by offering ex-servicemen
"jobs" if they will stay away.
The jobs are in the Palisades Inter-,
state Park, N. j., and the men are
being asked to report to the American
Legion headquarters in Weehawken.
Eighteen hundred vets are already
working there building a road, but the
conditions are so rotten that many
are talking of quitting,
The men are divided into two
groups, which work alternately two
weeks each, meaning that each vet
averages only three days week.
Though they work eight hours day,
it takes them three hours to get to
work and three hours to return, max
ing IA hours in all. Some who live in
outlying sections of the city have to
get up at am and do not get home
till s pm. Wages are $3.50 a day, but
the men are forced to pay 81 for
transportation, leaving them only
$3.50.
Ex-servicemen are warned that the
temporary slave jobs are a blow aimed
at their fight for immediate payment
of the bonus. On to Washington by
December 5!

B. R. MEN MOVE
AGAINST PAY CUT
Officials Use Referen-
dunn to Gain Time
for Sell Out


CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-The railway
brotherhoods and shop craft unions
affiliated to the American Federation
Of Labor, are conducting a referendum
vote on the question of authorizing the
union heads to negotiate with the rail-
way managements on the wage scale
for the coming year.
The vote will be counted here De
cember 8.
On December u a conference will
be held on the railway labor
executives, for which system and divi-
sion chairlnen Of the unions may be
called in. to decide the attitude Of the
unions after the expiration next
February of the agreement for the
10 per cent reduction in wages now in
force.
Rank and File Resentment
There is deep dissatisfaction among
the rank and file Of railway workers
Their union officials, headed by A. F.
Whitney, chairman of the Railway
Labor Executives Association and the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, in
duced them to accept the 10 per cent
cut last February in return for an
alleged promise by the railway man
agements to put more men to work.
Since that time more than 100000
railway workers have been laid of,
and unemployment continues to grow
The promised increase of maintenance
and shop work as a result Of loans to
railways by the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation has not material
lied
The loans have been used to pay
interest to the big banks on railway
bonds.
The railway officials are using the
referendum vote to delay action on
the wage question and give them time
to work out a formula for putting over
an additional 10 per cent cut de-
manded by the companies,
Fear Unofficial Strikes
There is little doubt that the rail-
way companies would yield to the
threat of militant strike action, as not
only the rail workers would be in
volyed but such a movement would
give tremendous stimulus to the rising
mass struggles in other industries
against Wage cuts, the stagger system
and the whole hunger program Of the
capitalists. The union officials feal
an outbreak of unofficial strikes.
Railway workers are responding tc
the call of the rank and file groups
led by the Trade Union Unity League
to organize in the shops and terminals
to resist the wage cut.
