SHAM BATTLE ON
BILLION DOLLAR
TAXATION BILL
Increase Still M ore
Burdens On u. S.
Workers

WASHINGTON, June 6. - Passed
with relevant changes by the House
of Representatives, the billion dollar
revenue bill drafted by the recent
conference of senators and repre-
sentatives was back to the senate
this afternoon, where it faced the
usual sham opposition. 1t is gener-
ally admitted however that the huge
tax bill which imposes unheard of
misery upon the workers whose ab-
solutely meager incomes will be fur
ther taxed, directly as well as indi-
rectly, will be adopted as it stands.
Workers To Pay
The procedural opposition launch
ed by some senators who assert that
the above mentioned conference of
members of both Houses was not
"constitutionally" empowered to
change the original revenue bill, will
not be maintained, dispatch to the
New York Times states.
One of the changes made by the
Conference of Senators and Repre-
sentatives against which this sham
opposition is directed, is the one that
shifts the per cent tax on electri-
city upon the consumer whereas ac-
cording to the original bill such a
tax was to be paid by the producer. J"
The question is simply formal one,
as no matter what the provision of
the bill would be, the tax on cleo
tricity would undoubtly be shifted
on the consumer.
AS soon as the revenue bill will be
adopted, it will be sent to President
Hoover, who is expected to sign it
Immediately with the speed that is
characteristic of him when it comes
to hit the workers.
New Wage SIashes
After this job is DONE. the U. S.
senators will take up the economy
bill, just adopted by the House of
Representatives, with view to in
crease the wage slash enforced upon
the federal employees by adding TO
it new provision for unlimited fur
loughs without pay, as suggested by
Hoover.

is the authorization given to the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
for increasing the :-sue of its secur-
tiles to the maximum of 100000, 900
in order to enable it to relieve or at
least attempt to relieve the banks,
the industrial corporations and the
big agricultural co-operatives under
the pretense of helping the starving
workers.
According to this plan the Recon-
struction Finance c rporation is to
use its reserves amounting to billions
of dollars to grant loans to political
subdivisions and public organizations
as well as TO private corporations 80
as to start the construction of in
come producing or elf-liquidating
projects. The corporation is further
more authorized to grant similar
loans to farm co-operatives through
the Federal Farm Board and to those
state treasures which ARE unable to
finance themselves for distress.
Won't Overcome Crises.
The whole plan thus appears as a
scheme to cover the bankruptcies of
the state treasures and run to their
assistance. Naturally this assistance
is to be concealed behind the alleged
intention to enable the depleted state
treasures to relieve distress.
AS the economic crisis becomes ever
more profound, it becomes evident
that not even this plan, with all the
financial assistance that it implies,
will bring about the much talked
about economic recovery" of the
United States.

that the funds given to the corpora

THUGS ATTACK
STRIKE PARADE
Commodore Strikers
Make Able Defense

NEW YORK.-A horse and wagon
parade yesterday notified all in the
neighborhood that there is strike
at the Commodore Laundry The
wagons bore strike signs, and called
for all workers to show solidarity.
The laundry is located at 1860 Sc
neca Avenue.
The brothers, Sam and Benny
Moretzky, of the racket association
and famous strike breakers, charged
down with car and ran into one
of the wagons. They then attacked
the paraders, and in the course OF
the struggle, all the windows in the
gangster Car we're broken and the
sluggers driven away. The Moretzkys
then called the police and had one
of the workers arrested The Tam
many judge at the 181st Street court
refused to order Moretzky's arrest.
Two of the four strikers arrested
last week: Herman Kramer and Max
Pouch are held on $500 each charged
with felonious assault, though they
we're at the union office and knew
nothing of the alleged assault. They
were arrested at the strike head
quarters, 1928 Southern Blvd.
Piclieting and open air meetings
are going on regularly and with en-
thusiasm. The bosses are still
visiting the strikers at home, offer
ing them money to be strikebreakers,
but these workers have had lots of
experience with the Commodore
Laundry, and always refuse.

Lecture at the
YMCA Forum
Rev Kenneth Kingston
Gave His Views on
Religion

In O talk on Religion, Is It an
Anaesthetic ?" Rev Kenneth Kings
ton, pastor of st Pauls Methodist
church said ut q Lobby Forum held
In the Central Y. M. G. A. last
night religion Is an anaesthetio
and as such, II 10 valuable In many
instances" Mr. Kingston added,
however, that IL religion was an
anaesthetic, prevented people from
seeking the truth and made them
satisfied with everything In life,
then It became harmful"
He opened his talk by referring
to q sign In Leningrad which he
said stated simply, Religion IL
Opium" He said the statement was
correct In that certain great creeds
tended TO make mon unduly salts
fed inasmuch as their faith In God
makes them feel that He Will take
care Of them In heaven. He indi-
Gated this was more true In other
ages than to-day.
In answering the question direct
", he gave two affirmative answers,
saying Religion was anaesthetic for
certain groups and individuals, cit
Ing Buddhism as having o tendency
q serious matter within certain lin
Its. affirming that anaesthetics have
their place In spiritual life as well
rs In the physical. the spiritual
anaesthetic giving comfort, peace
and even happiness In times OF
stress.
In opposition. he spoke Of the
part played by religious peoples OF
the past, noting the Crusaders, the
Puritans, those who opposed slav-
cry and those who brought about
prohibition. He said the work Of
these peoples was O negation of the
assertion that religion Is an amaze
sthetic, saying prohibition was the
work of O sincere, religious group
who spent three-quarters Of a CEN
fury in bringing 1t about.
He concluded by saying the i'm
piled charge Is challenge to all
religions and the dream of new
and better order should make us
disconnected with the present one.
He said he believed it the business
of the church and the clergy to
stick pins in people" and to stir
them up to bring nearer the realiz-
alton Of the ideal. a kingdom of
God on earth.
His talk was followed by a ques-
ton and answer period. One of the
listeners took much time by trying
to pin the speaker down to the
statement that there Is but one
truth in religion as there is in math
ematics and science. When the
speaker conceded that there is but
one truth In mathematics but he
could not admit the same was true
of science or the arts, the listener
went back to his original remark.
Ills statements indicated he had a
firm faith In his own ideas and he
was unwilling to admit that II any
one had studied the Bible as he
had that conclusions other than
those In his mind coul, be reached.
