bankers for any length of time.
In short while, they state, the
city will have to levy cent tax on
all subway rides in addition to the
present taxes. This will cost the
people another s30,O000 900 a year.
Tammany Plumbers Millions.
The budget crisis is due to the
enormously padded payrolls which
are cluttered with thousands of use
less and highly paid Tammany Office
holders. Tammany Hall spends mil
lions Of dollars every year in graft.
1t was recently estimated that Tam
many officials who serve no real func-
ton in the city administration cost
the city over 100000 900 q year. 1t
is to protect this tremendous plum
dering that Tammany levies in
creased taxes on the people
The present budget crisis is being
used by Tammany Hall to cut down
relief and rent payments for unem-
ployed families. Over 10000 workers
families face immediate eviction be-
cause of stoppage of relief rent pay
ments.
The Tammany officials of the
Board Of Education are talking more
and more openly of another wage
cut for the school teachers, who rec
emily had their wages cut 10 per cent.
Led BY Morgan Bankers.
The delegation of bankers who will
demand heavier taxes and reduced
relief, and more wage cuts from city
employees is headed by Frank Polk,
former Under Secretary Of State, and
one of the Morgan favorites in stock
market deals. The banks which hold
the city loans are mainly Morgan
banks They are cooperating with
Tammany Hall to make the workers
suffer the full burden of the crisis.

THIINCHAST IS
REPLACED ON JOB

BOSTON, June Airs. Anna c.
M. Tillinghast, U. s. Commissioner
Of immigration for the New Eng
land district. and part of the Doak
machine under the Hoover admins
tration, is to be replaced, according
to an order by Frances Perkins,
Roosevelt's Secretary of Labor
The growing protest against her
activities was undoubtedly a large
factor which FASTENED her replace
ment. She had singled out militant
workers for persecution, including
Edith Berkman, whom she Jailed and
bounded. AS result of her confine-
ment in the Boston detention pen,
Edith Berkman, leader of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, con-
tracted tuberculosis.
The activities of the immigration
commissioner came in for sharp de-
'unciation when representatives of
he Trade Union Unity League pre-
nted series OF demands to Miss
'srkins on March 81.

threw hand grenades and gas
bombs at the massed workers
who refused to allow the Nazi
hordes to ravage the proletarian dis
tricts Of the city. When the work
ers fought back, the police emptied
their rifles into the crowds until the
streets were covered with the dead
and wounded This was the biggest
street battle in Germany since the
famous barricade battle Of May i,
1923, described in "Barricades in Ber-
lin.
The Nazl press also reports that the
Chemnitz Trial Court has sentenced
two Communists, Bartl and Winkler,
to death. Winkler and Bartl had
been sentenced to death under the
Won Papen regime, although the Judge
had to admit that there was no proof
that they had fired the shot that
killed the Nasi' Krebeck The Won
Papen regime did not dare execute
them because this infamous sentence
came at the same time as the Nazi
butchery Of Potempa, where a group
of Nasis killed a Communist worker
in his bed in cold blood. Later the
Potempa murderers' sentences were
committed to imprisonment for life,
and after the Reichstag elections
hey were released Internationally.
The extraordinary resentment
among the workers at the new Bartl
and Winkler death sentences has
forced the Fascist government to
abandon its plan to execute them
Immediately. That does not mean,
however that they are not in imme-
diate danger of death, since only the
greatest vigilance and the broadest
mass campaign will save them, as
well as the Altoona Communists, from
death.
Torgier Trial to Start.
The records in the frame-up case
against Ernst Torgler, Communist
2eichstag leader, and Dimitrov Po-
pow and Taneff, the Bulgarian Com
munist leaders. who are charged with
burning the Reichstag building last
February, have been submitted now
to the German Supreme Court in
Leipzig. The trial may start any day
now, though no German attorney can
be found to take up the defense be-
cause Of the death threats facing any
defense attorney.
The international working class,
aided by all sympathizing intellectuals
and professional people, must come
at once TO the aid of Torgler, Din1it-
ROY, PopoY and Taneff, as we'll as the
six Communists already sentenced to
death in Chem itz and Altoona Only
the most act e, widespread interna-
tional mas campaign for their re-

1000 IN PACIFIC
MILL STRIKE WIN
l2h P. c. RAISE
Force Cut in Hours
from 81 to AZ
A Week

DOVER, N. H, June 4.--Ons thou
sand textile workers in the Pacific
Mills here ended their strike lasting
more than two weeks when the COM
pany granted a IL and half per
cent increase in wages.
The Doffers Union, an independent
organization organized and led the
strike. The demands Of the strikers
were for IS per cent increase and
a 4S-hour week instead Of a 54-hour
week which they have at present.
The strikers by three fourths vote
decided to accept the company's Of
fer. The news of the Anoskeag set
tlement which YVES maneouvred by
Riviere the UTW official and enemies
of the workers had its effect on the
decision of the workers here who
were preparing TO continue the
struggle for the full IS per cent in
crease and to organize relief and
picketing.
The militant strikers returned de-
termined to build their union and
prepare for future struggles.

tolls will cost the automobile own
ers SIS, 100000 year.
Higher Water Rates Planned.
Taxi rides will be taxed 5 cents
per ride. Auto owners will have to
pay city license tax equal to the
present state tax. The total tax per
car has been estimated as $57 per
year for every car owner.
The opposition to increasing the
water rates has temporarily delayed
action on this part OF the Tammany
Mayors plan But it is still posi-
bility that these rates will be in
creased also.
The Tammany administration RS
also decided to raise the fees of the
Building Department. These include
filing, and alteration fees, as we'll as
inspection fees. S
Higher Rents to Meet New Taxes.
This action will undoubtedly have
an immediate effect on rents that
workers will have to pay, since the
added costs to the landlord will be
passed on the tenant.
The amount estimated that will
be collected under this provision is
about $3o,O0o,000 This will be the
added rent burden for the lower sec
lions of the tenants.
The total effect Of the Tammany
tax proposals will be to increase the
cost of living for the poorer sections
Of the population.
A general Sales Tax has also been
suggested by Borough President Har
vey, who thinks that the city should
stop giving free education beyond the
high schools. He suggests that the

FROM AN OLD LETTER

During the Civil War, good lady of Georgia
wrote letter to the Columbus Enquirer, expressing
her horror at the customs being introduced by the
modern" women of that day. Extracts from the let
ter will give its general trend:
II country woman. Have been in your
city was shocked. q saw-you'n scarcely believe
it. I saw-can hardly tell It, women in the
streets with their dresses held high that you could
see their underskrts all around. My countrymen
surely will refrain when they are informed that It
is Yankee fashion Yankee ladies
about showing their knees than they do their faces
and If you indulge in this fashion, in ten years you
will care more for showing yours than they do
and in ten years you will be walking the streets
with your faces painted theirs are now Oh be

Had the writer of that letter lived until the pres

And possibly would have wound up by bobbng her
hair and DOMINIC knee length skirts herself.
