MANEUVER ON
THE SALES TAX
Try to Find New Ways
of Putting 1t Over

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-T h e
division in the Democratic Party
ranks over the question of the sales
tax, caused by fear of the bitter OPP
position to this robber scheme on
the part of the millions of workers,
farmers and small businessmen who
voted the democrats into office at
the last election, is forcing the demo-
cratic leaders to do lot OF maneu-
vering behind the scenes.
With Governor Roosevelt and
Speaker Garner actively supporting
it, and with republicans and demo-
Gratis pulling together, everything
was set to put across the sales tax
in the present lame duck" session of
Congress, but the democratic press
agents evidently let the cat out of
the bag too soon. To save the face
of Roosevelt, who conducted one of
the most demagogic campaigns in
American history under the slogan
of championing "the forgotten man."
it was arranged to have Roosevelt
back down on his support of the
sales tax.
This is a maneuVer aimed to lull
the masses into putting their faith
in Roosevelt, while leaders of both
parties hold secret conferences in an
effort to find ways and means of
putting over the sales tax in less
brazen fashion. The Ways and
Means Committee of the House, with
the democrat, Collier, as chairman.
has postponed its meeting ito survey
the budget problem" from Jan. to
Jan. 4, in order to give more time
for working out the strategy of the
sales tax situation At the same
time it was announced that Roosevelt
has invited Garner to sconfer with
him next week on the delicate sub
ject of the budget, which both demo-
Gratis and republicans are determined
to balance by putting new burdens
on the masses. Only the vigilance of
the working and farming masses of
this country and their active strug-
gle against all sales tax and similar
proposals can defeat these maneu-
yers.

PROTEST CUT IN
HOSPITAL STAFF
500 in Demonstration
Against Disnissals

NEW YORK-Hundreds of hos

of various working class organiza-
tions, protested yesterday at the Of
flee of j. G, William Greet, Com
missioner of Hospitals against the
discharge of 300 foreign born work.
ers and the intended dismissal of
hundreds of others.
At the same time, a delegation re-
presenting the Hospital Workers
League, and the Council for the Pro-
lection of Foreign Born, both located
at 799 Broadway, presented a petit
ton to Mr.. Greet demanding i'm
mediate reinstatement of all dis
charged workers, abolition of the last
wage-cut and an 8-hour day for all
hospital employees.
The petition presented by these
organizations has the endorsement OF
several other organizations such as
the Federation of Social Service
Workers, Independent Pharmacists
Union, the international Labor De-
Tense, etc.
The delegation composed Of Dor
othy Wilkes, who led three other
hospital workers, P. Olshen and E.
G. Morgan, exposed Greef's "econo-
N.Y." wage-cutting program.
1.-THE cut of 81 100000 in the Hos
pital Budget and the discharge of
the foreign born workers effects not
only the 400 who were discharged,
but is blow at the standard of liv-
ing of all the workers, native-born
as well as foreign-bo declared
the committee.
Hits Native Born Too
"a general campaign has beer
launched against the non-citizen
workers in the attempt to mislead
those of us who are native born into
the belief that this is being done for
our benefit" The committee pointed
out at the same time that the lay
offs were planned long before the
idea of victimizing the foreign born
was worked out by the city author
tiles, and that no new additions to
| the hospital forces are intended by
the city.
The alarming growth of deaths
among neglected and destitute work
ers was given as further reason by
the delegates as to why the reduc-
ton of the Hospital Budget consti-
tutes crime against the toilins
population.
Greet evasively replied that hs
agreed with the grievances voiced by
the delegation, but could not do any
thing about it.
The entire delegation replied thai
the organization of the hospita
workers and their sympathizers will
be extended in the effort to smash
the attack of the City on the hos
pital workers. A mass meeting o.
protest will be announced in a few
| days.

CITY WORKERS
WAGES SLASHED
Cut 6 to 40 Per Cent
to Pay the Bankers

NEW YORK-Wage cuts ranging
from six per cent to about 40 per
cent were ordered for all city en-
ployees getting more than $4,000 a
year, at the meeting yesterday of
the Board of Estimates. This is
practically the same scale that the
legislature in special session early
this month, ordered for the teachers.
At the same session, the legiSlat-
ure passed a law permitting all but
the teachers to be cut by the Board
of Estimates, and this has now been
done.
The hand Of the bankers was
clearly exposed in the whole drive
for wage cuts for city employees. The
syndicate of banks, led by J. Pier
pont Morgan, which handles the
city debt. levied public notice on the
city that reductions of S40,090,000
would have to be made in the 1888
budget. OF this s200O0,00O must be
in wage cuts.
Make Way For Graft
The Tammany government put up
feeble show Of resistance, but
since the orgy Of graft partially ex-
posed in the investigation of Walker
and others had depleted the treas
ury considerably, and since no Tam
manyite had the least intention Of
economizing on graft, the resist
ance" was more than usually faxed
The bankers representatives not
only accompanied Mayor Mckee to
Albany to get the special session Of
the legislature called, but they open
ly, through the newspapers, an
nounced that the wage cut laws must
not have a time limit attached. And
the legislature obeyed orders.
