for introducing further wage-cuts
and lowering the living standards Of
the workers as we'll as for develop

yesterday, voiced its protest against

The statement says, in part:
while Mr. Green, president OF the
American Federation of Labor, pre-
tends to oppose the forced labor
camp measures, he has already
backed down to the proposal that
wages TO the unemployed be in the

SimOns in Court
Today for Anti
Imperialist Talk

NEW YORK, March 29.-The
continued detention in Jail of Will
liam Simons, National Secretary
of the Anti-Imperialist League of
U. S. for speaking at the meeting
against Japan's robber war in
China, last Friday on the occasion
of the arrival of Matsuoka, Jap
anese imperiaIst agent, has
aroused intense indignation. Many
organizations have sent protest let
terS and kilograms to Mayor
O'Brien and Chief of Police Null
rooney, demanding the right of
free speech and assemblage and
demanding the immediate release
of Simons.
Simons' case comes up for the
second time in Jefferson Market
Court, Sixth Ave. and Tenth St.,
today at 10 am. Aroused work
ers and others are expected to jam
the court room.
kilograms of protest were also
sent from the Pan-Pacific Con-
ference meeting held last night in
support of the Pan-Pacific Con-
ference held in Japan this month
at the call of the Anti Imperiaist
League of that country.

D. G.
That this gives sanction to
q nation wide move against existing
relief measures Is born out by pro-
posals of budget director, Douglass.
He proposes an $l1,000,000 cut
for 1884 in the budget for the Dis
trict Of Columbia. This is to be
made on the basis Of cutting public
works by hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars, Is per cent pay cut and less
funds for schools. The administra-
ton which promised public works
is less than a month in Office, already
it proposes to eliminate this measure.
The effect Of an official announce
ment cutting pay Of federal en-
ployees will no doubt be taken up
by the bosses throughout the coun-
try, as it Is clearly meant to be.
1t means the beginning Of q new
nationwide wage cutting campaign
on top Of the others which the work
ers have experienced during the pas
few years.
Together with this attack on The
employees, congress is passing the
"Reforestation Bill" 1t is expected
that within three weeks after the
adoption of the bill 250,000 men viii

jects. The recruiting Of the men.

will be done under the direction OF
the Interior and War Departments.
The fact that the War Department
is given supervision over the unem-
ployed shows clearly that this is &
part Of the war preparations Of the
government.
That William Green and the so
called labor leaders are pressed by
the rank and file membership to fight
against this bill is seen by the con-
fusion they find themselves in. Only
few days ago Green gave his ap-
proval of the bill, while today he does
not favor 1t, and has ordered his
spokesman IN Congress to 50 state
