PHOENIX, Ariz,, October 14.-Fear
of disorder among the 10000 unem-
ployed in the Globe-Miami copper min

eral days following mass meetings at
which demands were made for the res
ignation of T. H. O'Brien as admin
istrator of relief funds for Arizona.
O'Brien, general manager Of the In
spiration Consolidated Copper Co., one
of the largest mines. in the United
States, has been the target of organ
izers for the newly created Federal
Mining Union with locals in Globe, MI
ami. Bisbee and several other copper
camps.
The charge has been made by COM

by State officials, that o Brien has been
discriminating against unemployed cop
per miners.
simultaneously with the charges
made against O'Brien, a resolution was
adopted by the Globe and Miami locals

GE0RG|ANS REVIVE
TALK0F SALES TAX
Forecast of New System
Made Privately by Some
State Officials.
BY EDWIN CAMP.
sperial Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ATLANTA, Ga, October 14-Al-
though Gov Eugene Talmadge has met
the problem OF rapidly diminishing
State revenue with drastic budget re-
vision calling for a 30 per cent cut in
general fund appropriations, and the
consequent loss Of positions by many
and reduction Of pay for all other en-
ployes, political leaders have begun to
whisper again about the advisability OF
a sales tax
The Legislature is not due to meet
until January, 1885, and the Governor
has said repeatedly he would not call
IT. into extraordinary session, because
the Senate is controlled by a faction
hostile to him. The financial emergency
of the treasury which gets worse instead
Of better may make it advisable for him
tc reconsider.
Some State officials say privately a
sales tax is coming, that 1t Is neither
practical politics nor is it in keeping
with the national recovery program for
loyal administration workers to be los
ing their jobs or having their pay cut
to the bone merely because the old ad-
vslorem tax system Of the State has
broken down under the drop in prop
erty valuations.
With the adjournment Of the Legis-
lature In early Spring. the propaganda
for the sale tax died down. But since
then a budget reduction Of Is per cent
has failed to meet the States loss OF
income and another per cent cut Is
inevitable. with doubt still strong as to
the treasury's being able to balance its
books without further cut.
As it stands now. nearly all of the
State governmental agencies must oper-
-ate on only 10 ger cent Of their annual
appropriations, which by the mathe-
matics of the thirg will put extreme
pressure on them during the final three
months. NCr Is there any hope Of an
upward turn of the curve of State in
come during tho next year.
The Governor has been stating public
ly that the only way to handle the
situation is to keep the appropriations
within the State income.
But practical politicians. while ap-
proving the wisdom Of such statements
for public consumption, are beginning
to fret over the pinch OF poverty that
is nipping the organization.
They say confidently something must
be done to get new revenue. that the
sales tax Is the only way; that North
Carolina, South Carolina and Missis-
sipp, are getting cut of the red and are
maintaining administration organi1a-
tions by such q tax, and that an extra
session must be called before the Spring
of 1894 has passed.

The commission was authorized to
survey the entire regulatory and taxa
ton fields and to report to the regular
session of the Legislature November IA.
At that time 1t Is hoped the Legislature
will be more free to act because the
election will be over, and that q
permanent code can be enacted before
national repeal becomes effective.
The special session also created q
siX-man commission to draft legiSla-
ton for State bank reserve system and
a State deposit guarantee program.
There is considerable dissatisfaction
among New Jersey State bankers with
the Federal bank recovery program.
State bankers declare the Federal
program is designed to aid the Federal
Reserve System banks at the expense
of State banks and in the end will force
all State banks either into the system
or out of business. They are confident
a State reserve system will be workable
and will provide the same safeguards
now afforded under the Federal pro-
gram.

wyoming with comprehensive and
somewhat drastic five-point program
for tax and governmental reforms rec
commended by special State legislative
commission With an estimated saving
of S2.OOO,OO0 annually promised II the
program is enacted in full. it was pre-
dicted that Gov Leslie A. Miller would
issue a call for the Legislature to con-
vene in special session late in November
or in early December.
Higher prices for merchandise pur-
chased In recent weeks served to stimuli
late public interest in the Buy Now
campaign, which preliminary organi.
zation and advertising indicate Will
have full cooperation throughout the
State.
Pay Rolls Increased.
To speed the movement there has
been another gain in pay roll industries
reported by the coal and railroad CEN
ters. The Rock Springs district notes
the addition of several hundred men on
mine pay rolls, and Green River reports
that 80 men have been restored to shop

with independent operators also expert
encing capacity demands for fuel. SIM
liar reports come from Thermopolis, an

ment had previously been stepped up at

the resumption of sugar factory opera
tions to Offset anpouncement that on
October some 1900 were registered

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, October IA.
Mormon church leaders did more
than many thought they would do in
their efforts to prevent repeal Of pro-
hibition. Heber J. Grant, president Of
the church, in an address in the taber-
nacle at the semi-annual conference,
urged all members of the church to
put up a united front against repeal.
Those who favor repeal, and many Mor-
mons do favor repeal. kept silent.
opinion is divided as to the effect
this will have on the voters on Novem-
ber T. Twenty years ago there would
have been no question. The Mormon
people are more Independent now and
there are many voters here who are not
Mormons. This was brought out last
election when it was definitely under
stood that President Grant wanted Reed
Smoot reelected to the United States
Senate.
People of Salt Lake City and the
other centers of population IN the State
are well divided on the prohibition re.
peal question. Headquarters have been
opened by both sides and volunteer
workers are everywhere.
The coming election will also decide
the question of a municipality owned
power plant. Two men have come out
as sponsors Of municipal power plant
in the race for city commissioner. There
are two to be elected.
Their plan, it is said, would obligate
the city to the extent Of S18,000,000
This has been seized upon by opponents
of the plan and tax rates of Salt Lake
City and elsewhere are being compared.
Business men and most home owners
seem to be opposed to the plan.

DEALERS OPERATE
UNDER "ILLEGAL LOCAL OPTION

until the regular session in early 1884.
In the meantime more than 500 Fed
eral permits have been issued to Mis-
sissippians to sell 80 beer, and beer
places thrive openly in many towns,
depending upon the town and county
sentiment. In Kinds County, the home
of Jackson, State capital. beer is sold
at bootleg prices, but recently the ac-
tivities were curtailed. In Vicksburg,
Warren County, and Yazoo City, Yazoo
County, less than so miles from jack
son, beer is sold openly in some cafes
and at prices from Is cents to 20 cents

the price per bottle depends upon the
sentiment Of the city and county people.
Thus Mississippi, as far as beer Is con-
cerned, Is operating under illegal local

Persistent Struggle Against
Sectarianism

IN ORDER to get the Party now firmly rooted
L among the decisive elements of the American
workers. it must in all seriousness carry out the
concentration on special factories, districts and
sections. The center of gravity of Party work
must be shifted to the development of the lower
organizations the factory nuclei, local organiza-
lions and street nuclei. 1t goes without saying
that it is our task to place ourselves at the head
of every movement which breaks out spontane-
ousy in the country, and to lead such movements,
or where the reformist leaders stand at the head
of a movement to work for the building of fight
ing organs of the masses, independent of the bu-
reaucrats in order to aid the masses in the expos
ure and replacement of the reformst leaders. But
unless we tenaciously concentrate our work on
the most important industrial centers, we cannot
build up stable Party and revolutionary trade
union movement, capable of resisting all blows
and prosecutions by the bourgeoise. The German
Communists offer us the best example of this.
1t is only because the CP of Germany is closely
linked up with the decisive sections of the German
proletariat that it is able to carry its struggle
against German fascism uninterruptedy, in spite
of brutal fascist terror
The Party is confronted with the task of
drawing in the young workers in the class
struggle This demands that end be made
to the underestimation of youth work, and of
the necessity of putting up special youth de-
mands All Party organizations, especially
the factory nuclei, as well as the fractions in
all trade unions and mass organizations, must
organize youth sections and give active sup
port to the Young Communist League. Every
Party factory nucleus must help to organize a
nucleus of the Y. c. L.
In order to effectively carry out this turn to
the decisive sections of the American workers,
it is necessary to carry on persistent struggle
against the sectarianism which expresses itself
in all Party and trade union work which con-
tinues to be one of the chief obstacles to the
establishment of firm and live contacts with the
decisive masses of workers. This sectarianism
expressed itself above all in the lack of under
standing of the necessity of the Party and its
leading organs for carrying through the turn
to mass revolutionary work, to develop broad
revolutionary unions and unemployed organ
izations and to build the basis of the Party In
the most decisive industries. This sectarianism
can be overcome only if the Party carries on a
continuous struggle against the main danger
namely, Right opportunism as well as oppor
tunism clothed in cleft" phrases.

In spite of the concentration of at

legislators, and proposals to allow its
manufacture and sale while the eigh-
teenth amendment still Is in effect were

incorporate the principle of the Collier
beer bill passed in the House at the

mittee.
No exact tabulation of the number
of beer bills could be obtained, but at
Least two prominent Democrats spon-
sored measures similar to the Collier
bill, which died in the Senate last
session.
Assistant Democratic Leader Cullen
proposed bill identical to the Collier
bill to legalize beer of 80 per cent al
cohol by weight and tax 1t at SIS
barrel.
Previously, his New York colleague,
Representative OConnor, had intro
duced three bills. One was the Collier
bill with the tax changed from $5 to S.
It would define 80 per cent beer as mot
Intoxicating in fact" and remove the
requirement that manufacturers must
obtain licenses from the Prohibition Bu-
reau, having them issued instead by
the internal revenue commissioner.
A second was a sos per cent beer
bill similar to that approved by the
Senate Judiciary Committee Instead
OF legalizing the brew, the Senate plan
would simply strike out the enforcement
provisions against such beer.
