Tax Reductions for
Home Workers In S. u.

The Presidium of the Central
Executive Committee of the Soviet
Union has decided to reduce taxes
paid by home workers and hand
workers or artizans. Those home
and hand workers organized in
cartels are to be treated with re-
gard to taxation exactly as work
ers and commercial employees. Re-
auctions have also been decided
upon for those home and hand
workers who employ no wage la

PROTEST SALE
OF Mich. FARM
300 Farmers Meet In Spite
of Red Scare But Unable
to Stop Foreclosure

Custer, Mich, Nov. On Nov.
9 the United Farmers League or
ganjzed a demonstration at the
Ludington court house IL protest a
foreclosure oil a poor, harlwcrk-
ing farmer, zoe Laiskcnis
Laiskonis had not been able to
pay interest on his mortgage due
the Federal Farm Loan Bank at
St. Paul because of low farm prices
and the bank planned to deprive
him of his home.
Sympathetic farmers paraded
through the streets, bearing pla-
cards reading "DoWn with evic-
tions" and "For a Moratorium on
Debts" 1t was the first time in
the history of Ludington that such
thing has occurred.
The bankers and the press i'm
mediately tried to throw a red
scare into the people. They said
"The reds will confiscate your
homes" although it was against
the confiscation of a farmers
home that the farmers were DEM
onstrating. When the farmers
presented a resolution to the agent
In the Federal Land Bank, the
bankers had it gossipped all over
town that he had been threatened.
The local press ran a story that
the attorney had been threatened
IN order to force him to stop the
foreclosure and that the sheriff
and a number of state troopers
and legionnaires would be at the
sale to protect the attorney.
Despite the Communist scare,
about 300 people attended the sale.
One young comrade talked during
the hour before bidding began.
However, the bank bought in all
of the property and the farmer
was left destitute.
The only way the farmers
around here can stop forced sales
and foreclosures is through mass
organization. We must expect if
we fight for ourselves that the
local kept press will call US reds
and hurl insults at us. We must
on our part tell the farmers WHY
we must struggle and how we can
struggle-by mass action.
Following is the resolution which
was drawn up by the United Farm
ers League.
WHEREAS
joe Laiskonis, hard working
farmer of Custer, Michigan, is
threatened with dispossession of
his home and farm,
AND WHEREAS
Said farm is his only means of
making an honest living,
Laiskonis has paid for said
farm IN cash more than it is now
worth and worked hard besides.
Obviously, the Federal Land
bank, of st. Paul, seeks thereby to
protect its dividends at the ex-
pense of this mans means of ex-
istence, and
Therefore, Laiskonis being fore
closed is brutally unethical.
Laiskonis is not to blame for
the present anarchic system of
economics which permits the cur.
rent depression and is the cause
of his default.
Laiskonis has pleaded humbly
for leniency,
The Federal Farm Loan Bank
Of St. Paul has promised leniency,
Hoover has likewise promised
leniency, and
The government has advanced
billions to the railroads and banks
and big enterprises to assure their
dividends and not one penny to
save our farms,
We believe the farmer deserves
full value for his labor,
We are firm believers in t he
most essential function of govern
ment, that of assuring security for
those who work,

and then we elected delegate to
go with him to call the sheriff.
He was told what to say and how
much to say.
The sheriff arrived in about 80
minutes and was surprised to see
so many farmers at the Kron-
schnabel place.. ''You can't take
anything away" the farmers told
him. eff you want TO sell we will
buy everything that's here.
The sheriff thought it best not
to sell and asked US to send a
committee to Britton to see the
man who held the mortgage.
We elected a committee of seven

strom, Frank Heis, Roy Miller,
Martin Tveit, and Casper Kron :
schnabel. We found Thorp, the
head of the auto company, who
looked as though he had never
done a days work in his life. He
was well dressed, drove nice new
car and had big office.
OFFER $50
We told him we would not stand
by and see the family robbed. If
he took their stock they would be
on the county the next day. He
made US an offer to take a little
off the bill which was 1922 plus
$15 expenses.
This was still robbery, we told
him, and offered him just $50 for
all the mortgages he had against
the family. "That offer only
stands for right now" we said.
eff you don't want to accept this
you'll have to deal with some other
committee. This stock is going
to stay on the place if we have
to keep some one there to guard
it."
Thorp took the money and
turned over the papers. The fam
lily still has its livelihood for the
winter.
Only through united action can
we exist with these wolves jump
ing at us from all sides.

Frank writes. Now Frank, we're
not stopping papers in order to
be mean, we would like to hand
them out to everybody free of
charge if we only could afford
to do so, but we simply can not
afford it. We have a heck of a
time keeping above water as it
is, so it is hard for us to make
exceptions and be as democratic

Short hair is getting shorter. Wo-
men who let their hair grow long last
wear to be different" are making
dates with their barber, again.
Gone almost entirely is the long bob
inspired by stars of the silver screen
The longest bob is now just an inch
below the natural hairline, but most
women prefer an even closer cut, with
the hair deity thinned out to shape
the head, but not shingled as in the
old days. =,
Even locks which reach to an inch
below the hairline are turned up II
natural looking rolls around the head
curled into tight, plastic binglets OF
swirled to one side of the head up OFT
the neck.
Short hair generally is curled up to
the middle of the head and if the hail
is long it should be coiled and pinned
up high to meet the new requirements
of late summer and carly fall MILL

Part, provide increasing variety and
new chic to the couture. One couture
shows the part very low on the side
of the head, following the line from
the very end of the eyebrow back
around the head to the hair line. An
other features an irregular part start
ing high on one side Of the forehead
and ending back of the ear on the
opposite side.
Women are showing a greater ten
dency toward naturalness, and for this
reason are stunning the platinum
bleach as too theatrical.
However, those wh4 still prefer to
be blondes despite their brunette locks
are catering to an ash blonde bleach,
which is more golden and not so OBJ
viously false.
