Why New York Supports
Costly Plan.

~ the Associated Press.
An implication that there might be
something sinister" behind the Wag-
ner relief bill, with its $500, 100000 bond
issue, was denied today before the
House Banking Committee by Senator
Costigan, Democrat, OF COLORADO, one OF
the authors of the measure.
At the same t:me, House leaders indi-
Gated that, instead Of awaiting action
on a resolution pending before the Ju-
dietary Committee to ask the Senate to
withdraw the Wagner bill it passed. an
identical measure would be put through
the House next week.
violates Constitution.
The Judiciary Committee today con-
sidered the resolution asking that the
bill be recalled, since it involves
finances and hence violated the consti-
tutional stipulation that money bills
must originate in the House. The COM
mittee, however, took no action.
Costigan asked the Banking Commit
tee today to approve the BILL which he
drafted with Senators Wagner, Demo-
crat of New York and La Toilette, Re-
publican, of Wisconsin.

"Now, forgetting altruism, would
like to know what is in back of this
BILL" Goldsborough remarked. If
there is anything sinister about it,
think we should know it now. I intend
to support this bill, but also intend to
know everything that Is back of it."
"I'm sure there is nothing of that
character behind the measure" Costi-

YOU think that II the powers in New

PRINCETON, N. 1.-THE liberal
city of Princeton practices a most
vicious relief discrimination and ter
ror on the basis of political belief.
A year ago a policeman was sent
by Miss Black, former secretary of
the Relief Bureau, to the home OF
Thomas McNally, Communist can
didate for Mayor in the coming cleo
tions. The cop terrofized his wife,
who was four months pregnant, to
such an extent that she had a mis-
carriage the next morning.
The family's relief groceries were
cut off five times; they we're forced
to move IL times in Is months, and
were put back on relief only after
the workers protested against this
miserable bounding Of militant
worker.
A month ago the Social Service
Bureau refused to give the McNallys
any further relief unless they left
town. McNally was forced to let his
wife and child be taken to Trenton,
where a month of rotten treatment
compelled her to return home. Miss
Tuthill, new secretary of the Bureau,
greeted her return by giving Mrs.
McrTally a painful blow in the stom-
ach with her fist But Miss Tuthill

the trade unions and peasant organi-

"This is Roosevelt's New Deal! Cuba
is independent, at least in name.
What do you gain from fighting

will cut your own wages still more,
then they will further decrease the

United States. How did they come
to be in possession of this property?
They stole it! They robbed it from
the people of Cuba! They bought
presidents and governments to do it.
They robbed land from the peasants,
they made workers slave IL and IA
hours a day for and dollars a
week. Then they used this to cut
the wages of the workers in the Unit

farmers, to increase the misery of
the masses SO they could make pro-

"The Wall Street Bankers lent 212,-
100000 dollars to Cuba. This money
was not used in the benefit of the

the people of Cuba thru force, bribery,
trickery.
Marines Sent Against Toilers
For a long time the American
bankers maintained in power presi-
dent Machado, the friend and bosom
companion Of Coolidge, the friend of
Hoover. Machado was an outright
assassin. Thousands Of workers and
peasants and students were killed by
him because they fought for the right
to live. And yet you were not sent

the support of Machado and caused

when the toiling masses Of Cuba are

Newark Salvationists
Attempt to Remarry

wife and three children was active
in the Unemployed Council they de-
manded he produce his marriage
license or lose the bottle of milk and
the $3.50 week he was getting.
When the worker refused this med
ding into his private life, they gave
him the ultimatum; either, he Is re-
married in the Salvation Army, or
he goes off the relief list. He refused
and was cut off.
A few days later the Bruce Street
Block Committee not only forced the
Salvation Army to give relief with
out question to this worker, but also
to FIVE others.
