heralded this newcomer as a sign of
returning prosperity. They an
nounced around the fifteenth of
October that two thousand men will
be put to work on November 2. On
Nov. 2, the shop on Piquette Ave. was
dead except for the hungry masses Of
workers on the outside. The an
nouncement was that the opening
date has been changed to Dec. Is.
The same thing was repeated and the
date changed to January Is. That is
today. And today hundreds of people
spend their night in the line waiting
to get hired. And today also is The
date on which the patience of the
workers seems TO have been eX-

thing. There are about ten thous-

even more, but no one is being

Cultural Standards
of Soviet Masses
On Rapid Rise

In marked contrast to the rapid
decline in the cultural standards
Of the American workers through
mass poverty, state and federal
bankruptcy, the Soviet workers are
raising their cultural level at
tremendous speed.
Not only is the contrast between
the building Of new schools, uni
versities, libraries, laboratories in
the Soviet Union and the closing
Of schools, non-payment Of teach
ers, but also in the lighter features
of culture.
While the bankrupt treasury of
the United States taxes admission
Of all sorts, the Soviet government
continually increases the cultural
facilities open to the workers and
farmers.
In 1880 the attendance at Soviet
theatres was 100000 and in 1881
this number more than doubled it
self to 100000. Figures for mo-
ton picture attendance increased
from 100000 in 1880 to 8l7,-
100000 in 1881. Circus attendance
increased from 100000 in 1880 to
100000 in 1881.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa.-The
unemployment situation is growing
worse here. The Griffin Wheel
Works has posted a notice that they
are closing down for an indefinite
period. The railroads are working
with reduced forces and, these are
only working two weeks out of the
month. The workers in Kimballs
foundry are also only working one or
two days week.
The Citizens Relief Committee
take a days pay from these workers
every month to help keep the unem-
ployed fro mstarving. The city is full
of child food stations and yet they
only supply the children two meals a
day and are proposing to reduce this
to one meal every day.
Many families are refused aid from

Militant Opposition Groups Call for
Organized Fight on Wage Cuts
in Illinois Coal Fields

BENLD, Ill, March 81. - After
three weeks of negotiations for q new
wage agreement for the Illinois
miners to replace the one which
expired April LIST, the scale commit
tee of the U. M. w. of A. and the
Illinois Coal Operators Association
reached the following understanding:
Operators desiring to continue OPP
erations after March 31st may do SO,
providing such operators sign an
agreement with a representative Of
the U. M. w. A. to observe the wage
scale and working conditions Of the
present district contract, pending
further negotiations of the joint
scale conference" Without a doubt,
coal operators having market for
coal will run their mines on this
basis, while the operators who have
been storing up coal in the event
of trouble" will suspend operations.
This policy flows directly out of
the three weeks maneuverlng upon
the part of the coal operators and
the district machine of the U. M,
w. A., headed by Walker, who is
known to the miners as faker
The coal operators, seeking wage
cut of at least 80 per cent, know that
they cannot put it into effect in a
direct manner; they enlist the sSsis-
tsnce of the U. M. w. A. officials,
hence the policy Of so-called suspen-
sion, hoping to carry the miners
through stages leading to exhaustion,

NEW YORK, April 3.-Pledging to
defend the Soviet Union against any
and every roDber imperialist attack
and to intensity the struggle against
capitalism in America, over $1,000
workers jammed the huge Madison
Square Garden Saturday night to
celebrate the Tenth Anniversary Ju-
bilee of the Morning Freiheit, the
only Communist Jewish daily news
paper published in America.
Cheers and thunderous applause
echoed and re-echoed throughout the
vast building affirming the declara-
ton of the speakers that the Scots
boro boys must not die, that Mooney
and all class-war prisoners must be
freed from the capitalist jails and
that this tenth anniversary of the
Freiheit must be mobilization point
for building a stronger and more
powerful Communist press reaching
millions Of American working men
and women.
The Freiheit Gesangs Verain (the
Freedom Singing Society, d chorus
of over 400 voices, opened the cele-
bration by presenting program of
five revolutionary songs in Jewish
and English.

Senate Pushes Bill to Tax
Workers and Small Owners

NEW YORK, April 3.-The revenue
bill passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives now comes into the hands
of the Senate. All signs show that
the Senate will add further burdens
upon the workers, farmers and mid
die class in balancing the huge ma
tional deficit, on the plea of the Sec
rotary of Treasury, Mills, that the
budget is not balancing.
The question of the sales tax will
undoubtedly be re-opened. The bill,
as passed by the House of Represen-
tatives last week, exposes the fraud
of the slogan soak the rich" raised
by the progressive coalition headed
by Representative LaGuardia of New
York.
In the bill the sales tax was virtu-
ally adopted. The final bill is prac-
tically identical with the administra-
ton measures originally proposed by
Representative Crisp.
Walter Lippman, writer for the
Republican administration organ, the
New Cork Herald Tribune, shows in
Saturdays issue that the soak the
rich" cry was only talk, and says
that the progressive coalition has
not made any important change in
shifting the burden of taxation to
the rich"

Bloomington Unem
ployed Council Grows
tBy . Worker Correspondent

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - Our IN
employed Council which was organ
lied short while ago is growing by
leaps and bounds. II was organized
spontaneously by the workers here
who were tired of the starvation
program of the bosses. These workers
knew very little about the Communist
Party.
Last week two Communists from
Decatur came TO lis and explained the
program of the Communist Party.
The applause was big and all the
workers at the meeting pledged to
carry out the program of the Party.
We workers realize now that we
must be linked up with the struggles
Of the workers in all countries, that
we must stick together shoulder to
shoulder and fight against our COM
mon enemy. the capitalists.
Our Council now has membership
Of 800. We demand. along with our
demands of unemployment insurance,
that the U. s. keep hands off China.
We are all pledged to defend the So
Wet Union against any attacks of the
robber nations. We are going TO try
to increase the sales of the Daily
Worker. This is a railroad town and
we are going to do some organization
among the railroad workers against
the wage-cut. If we organize we can
put stop to the miserable conditions.

then putting wage cut TO a ref
erendum, and hoping TO carry 1T
through.
All attempts of the miners 10 pre-
pare themselves for fight to defeat
the wage cut is being ignored by the
of1cialdom, motions made by mill
tant members Of the U. M w A (op-
position groups to call mass meet
ings to organize against the wage cut
are being sneered at by the little
takers in the local unions. In spite
of this fact, motions for these mass
meetings to take place on April 1st
have been adopted by several locals,
at which the fight against the wage
cut will be opened.
The Illinois miners rank and file
opposition is presenting program Of
struggle based upon the following de-
mands: Cd against the wage cut,
% for q minimum three-day week
in the operating mines, 80 for I'M
employment relief at the expense of
the government and the coal oper-
ators.
The program carries q struggls
against the betraying leadership OF
the UMWA, both Lewis and Walker
seeking to unite the rank and file for
struggle to defeat the wage cut.
The present wage scale OF this lie
linois miner is based upon day
rate OF 500 per day, while the coal
operators would like to reduce it 10
from $500 TO 81 per day.

Writers will hold their first annual
conference on April 10, at 10 am.
in the auditorium of the Workers
Center, so East 18th Street
One of the main purposes of the
Federation, which has been recently

lions are asked to send two or three
delegates to the conference. They
are asked to send in the names and
addresses Immediately.
Individual writer's and all persons
interested in revolutionary writing

to cover the deficit was to be as
follows:
From income taxes ....3 81 per cent
From estate taxes. ..,.. 1per cent
From customs .........l2 per cent
From excise (sales taxes,
etc., ...,.............5 SO per cent
The bill as finally passed will raise
the revenue as follows:
From income taxes. 81 per cent
From estate taves. 81 per cent
From customs ......... ID per cent
From excise taxes (sales, -. -. 49,.
taxes, etc. ...,......4 8 per cent
The bill as passed after the So
called revolt" of the progressives
will raise practically so per cent from
the workers, farmers and middle class
elements, from direct taxation upon
the incomes of workers and from
higher tariffs, which will be paid for
by the toiling masses. The bill will
not cut a cent from the war appro-
priations, which are the highest in
American history.
The tax plans of the adrninistra-
ton, assisted by the progressives of
all stripes, is in line with the policy
Of the Hoover government to over
come the crisis by throwing the main
burden on the toiling workers and by
policy of impoverishment of the
middle classes.

NEW YORK.-The Columbia So
cial Problems Club and the National
Student League has called mass
meeting on the steps of the Column
bia University library today at u
o'clock to protest the expulsion of
Reed Harris, editor of the Columbia
Spectator"
The expulsion follows the support
Harris gave the student delegation
to Kentucky and clearly illustrates
the class character of the capitalist
colleges. So long as Harris kept his
protest within the confines of purely
student affairs, the college authori-
ties took no steps against him. AS
soon as he began openly to give sup
port to the students who partici-
pated in the class struggle on the
side of the working class, the Million
aire college trustees and their lick
spittle, Butler, became frightened
and expelled him.
The expulsion is but one Of a SER
les of attempts to stem the ferment
in the ranks of the students who
havebecom disillusioned with he
class characer Of education and who
are NOR and more coming on in sup
port of the struggles of the working
class.
Harris was expelled after trial
at which Deane Hawkes. announced
that the expulsion had already been
ordered by the liberal President
Nicholas Murray Butler, and that
the trial was being held merely ito
give Harris the semblance of a hear
ing"
The Columbia Spectator" has car
ried on steady campaign against
the professionalism of amateur"
college football. Harris charged that
theColumbi a football team was sub
sidized by alumni. He further
charged college authorities who
turned football into a commercial
proposition with responsibility for
the murder of forty students who
were killed during the past season.
In addition Harris attacked the
quality of food and the prices
charged the students in the Cafe
terra. When the National Student
League delegation went to Kentucky,
Harris, through the columns of the
Spectator" supported it and con-
demned the professors who fought
against such studentactivity.
The Spectator" u MD er Reeds
editorship hit the American Legion
and the Daughters Of the American
Revolution in addition to the other
patriotic societies.
In a joint statement with the ex-
ecutive committee of the Columbia
Social Problems Club, and with the
endorsement of Reed Harris, the Ma
tional Student League issued the fol-
lowing statement yesterday:
"As students we protest the ex.
Ipulsion of Reed Harris, editor-in-
chief of the Columbia Spectator, anc
demand his reinstatement.
"Since no specific charges arr
lodged against Harris in Dear
Hawkes. statement, it is clear thai
this is an attempt to penalize hin
for hiseditorials during the present
academic year.
I'VE recognize the expulsion o.
Harris as unwarranted interference
