ON RENT STRIKE
Demand 10 Per Cent
Reduction

NEW YORK.-Forty- five tenants
of sci and SGT Beck St. are out on
strike for q 10 per cent reduction in
rent. Also to make some improve
ments in the house.
Forty per cent of the tenants are
completely out Of work. The rest are
part-time workers. The tenants are
actively engaged in mobilizing the
rest of the block on their support.
Open air meetings are held, picketing
in front of the house in spite of the
terror Of the landlord.
The landlord is trying to approach
individual workers in that house to
bride them. However, he has not
succeeded. There is a strong house
committee functioning. Not only are
they striking for a reduction in rent
but they are already modifying the
block for demonstration in front of
the public school in their neighbor-
hood for free food and clothing for
the children.
These workers issued a leaflet TO
the other houses owned by the same
landlord. The response shows that
the workers are ready for struggle.
They are also electing a delegate to
the Unemployed Conference that
will be held January 18th, II o'clock
at the Hungarian Workers Center,
500 Prospect Ave.

MELLON ORDERS
GREATER TAXES
TO HIT WORKERS
Not One Cent Provided
Fol-. Jobless Relief

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA. In
creased taxation, with the heaviest
burdens on the workers and small
business men and professionals,
was urged by Millionaire secretary
of the treasury, Andrew Mellon, and
his assistant, nder-secretary Mills,
before the Senate Ways and Means
Committee.
Melon, whose income IS over $t0,-
100000 year proposed that taxes be
placed on such items as tobacco,
movies, telephones, telegraph mes
sages, and many other such items,
instead of putting heavier taxes on
his fellow bankers and exploiters.
He declared that S92O,OOO,O 900
would have to be raised through
greater taxation. Both Mellon and
Mills admitted that the government
is finding it difficult to issue any
more bonds, as the last bond issue
was nearly a flop.
The new tax proposals, Mellon said,
would add 100000 new taxpayers,
most among the ranks of the workers
and lower paid office employees.
While talking about economy, not q
word was said about the huge expen-
ditures for war preparations.
Mellon and Mills both declared that
the government budget must be
balanced but purposely avoided
saying anything about unemployment
relief. The increased taxation which
is to come out of the workers pockets
is to go for increased war prepara-
tions.
The rich, for whom Mellon spetakc
and acts, will be guarded against tax
increases. II by accident their taxes
are increased, Mellon will revert to
his old stunt Of tax refunds" where
BY billions are returned to the wealthy
exploiterS.

Face Bitter Struggle
Against Bosses

NEW YORK.-Backing the strike
Of the fish workers in the Bronx, the
Trade Union Unity Council and the
Food Workers Industrial Union has
issued an appeal calling all workers
to help win this strike
Pointing out that the fish workers
have been forced to work long hours
for $l2 to SIS a week, the statement
says:
THE strike has met extreme re-
sistance on the part Of the bosses
because the bosses relaize that if a
union is established in this trade it
will be impregnable and will control
every fish store in the city of New
York. The wholesalers are helping
the bosses.
"The winning of this strike will
mean the establishment of a new
section of the Food Workers Indus
trial Union which will be a tremen-
dous support to the union and will
raise the prestige and confidence of
the workers in all food crafts in the
F. w. I. U. 1t is also of Importance
to the entire labor movement. The
strike must be won.
"The last desperate attempt Of the
bosses to break the strike and destroy
the union Of fish workers is the most
vicious strike-breaking weapon, the
injunction. The bosses obtained an
injunction which forbids the strike,
once more expo, ng to the workers
ganize in the United States is denied
that the right to strike and to Or
to the workers by this capitalist
government.
1.-THE working class must rally to
the support of the fish workers in
this fight to smash the injunction
and establish the right to strike and
to organize. Thus far we have had
the loyal support of the United Coun-
Gil of Working Glass Women, who
have fought militantly together with
our strikers and the Food Workers
Industrial Union which has given
leadership, guidance to the strike and
financial support.
I'VE appeal to every member of the
