America to take a clerkship with

Score Labor Dept. on
Deportation Threat
Against NY. Seamen

NEW YORK.-Denial by Frances
Perkins, Secretary Of Labor, that her
department was instrumental in the
arrest and holding for deportation of
sixteen foreign-born seamen who
fought eviction from the Jane Street
"Y" Mission, drew today sharp
reply from the New York District In
ternational Labor Defense which
charges Miss Perkins and her de-
partment with acting in cooperation
with the bosses as a strike breaking
agency"
The letter In which this charge Is
made also states, "Your protest that
The Department of Labor did not in
stigate the arrest Of these seamen is
only a clumsy excuse to absolve the
deportation authorities of response
bility in these and similar cases.
These could not be held without war
rants by your department"
The letter concludes with de-
mand for the immediate release Of
the seamen held on Ellis Island and
the immediate stop to the persecu-
ton of foreign born.

AMOSkEAG MILL
STRIKERS DEMAND
RETURN OF CUT
Ballot Saturday on 15%
Wage Cut With
draWal Offer

MANCHESTER, N. Y, May 90
A report in the Daily Worker yester
day that the strike of the Amoskeag
workers had ended in complete VIC
tory when the company agreed to
immediate payment Of the Is per cent
increase in wages was corrected today
by direct information from the strike
area. The strikers will take secret
ballot on this proposal on Saturday.
The Daily report was based on cap
ftaliSt press sources but declared
however that actually the Is per cent
raise is not an increase but re-
storation of part Of the drastic cut in
wages which the bosses have imposed
in the past year."
News from the strike area reveals
that the strikers are now demanding
recovery of their previous wage cut
up to AZ per cent. A so-called arbitra-
ton committee consisting of Ri
Were Of the UTW, Catholic bishop,
Peterson and Governor Winant of
New Hamsphire who modified the
National Guard against the strikers,
announced this settlement.
1t is therefore not surprising that
the strikers resent and distrust the
announcement and demand return
of their full wage-cut. The strikers
have already succeeded by their mi
litancy in forcing the withdrawal Of
the National Guard, as well as the
concession of return of Is per cent
OF their wage-cut.
In an effort to break the strike,
the bishop and Barry, president Of
the New Hampshire Federation Of
Labor are advising the workers to
have faith in the Roosevelt plan and
wait for it to take effect. But the
strikers have had their taste of
promises"

is known for its ruthless treatment
of its workers. The directors Of this
concern are closely tied up with lead
ing Boston banks having Morgan
connections and have built up their
reserve of over Is million dollars on
the sweat and toll of the workers.
From 1922 until recently the COM
pany held a company union over the
heads of the workers which forced
through wage cut after wage cut and
new speed-up schemes.
When they could no longer put over
this brutal policy on the workers who
voted the company union out of ex-
istence, they agreed to bring in the
United Textile Workers. While wage
cutting has continued stockholders
have received their dividends reg
ularly and the reserves of the COM
pany have continued to pile up. Now
the workers are demanding back some

flee to maintain the profits OF the

TRUCE WITH

Blackmail North
China

SHANGHAI, May 26.-The report
ed truce between Chinese militarist
leaders and the Japanese has been
officially announced as signed at
Miyun, although the Marking gov
eminent is keeping the news from
the Chinese people through the i'm
position of a rigid censorship.
The Marking government has
agreed to force the dissolution OF all
Chinese volunteer troops operating
against the Japanese in North China,
as well as suppress all anti-Japanese
movements in that area.
This marks the establishment OF
japanese controlled empire en-
bracing Manchuria, Jehol, Chahar,
and North China proper, covering an
area of over 100000 square miles.
War Minister Ho Wing Ching is de-
manding 100000 blackmail from
the Peiping Chamber of Commerce
to pay the expenses of evacuating his
forces from the city, while other
Chinese generals are holding out for
bride payments as well.
The foreign imperialist elements in
North China, among them British
and American business men, are
hopefully awaiting the establishment
of a puppet regime in close contact
with Manchukuo and under the Jap
anese aegis.

Public Works" Is a
Fake Manouvre
LOSE JOBS JUNE l
Scrubwomen, Laborers
First to Be Fired

ALBANY, N. Y, May 26. - Two
thousand workers of the State De-
partment of Public Works will be
fired. One thousand will loose their
jobs by June l and the others by
the end of June. This is the deci-
sion of Governor Lehman, a close
friend of President Roosevelt. This
decision to throw out of work 1000
workers comes after week of glar-
ing headlines that Roosevelt will start
additional public works.
The governor went to Washington
to ask for fifty million dollars. But
this step in adding more to the job
less shows that the money is not to
be for the unemployed.
Among the first to be fired are
scrubwomen and laborers. Many of
these women support large families
on their income. rs working on Pub
lie Building are the first to suffer.
While this is done the high salaried
officials will maintain their jobs with
out disturbance.

be 80 cents an hour. All OF 1t to be
used to pay the back taxes.
Fifteen workers were hired Monday
for this job. They were to work 10
to IL hours a day. The Unemployed
Council approached these workers
and they responded favorably.
A strike was called and all came
out including four men who were
brought in by the bosses from an
other town.
The contractors than offered to pay
half in cash and the balance to go
for taxes. This was rejected. The
workers put up a solid front. They
finally gained a concession OF 40
cents an hour, is cents to be given
in cash and 25 cents to go towards
back wages.
This town is controlled by wes-
tinghouse Electric and Westinghouse
Airbrske. These companies are con-
nected with the Morgan interests.
J. P. Morgan admitted before the
Senate investigation committee that
he did not pay any taxes during the
years 1930-1931-1 1892 Morgan, the
Millionaire, does not pay taxes. But
workers are compelled to work out in
forced labor the school taxes that
they cannot pay because they are I'M
employed. Is it not evident that

CONGRESS PUSHES
SALES TAX BILL
M organ Disclosures
Used AS An Excuse

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The re-
velation that the Morgans, richest
bankers in the country, did not pay
any income taxes for the last three
years is now being used as pre-
text for the passage of a Sales Tax
or a Manufacturers Sales Tax.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee is now offering to amend
Roosevelts public works Bill so as
include a general tax on all manu-
featured goods The burden Of this
kind of tax falls heaviest on the
working masses who buy goods.
The argument made by the De-
mocratic and Republican Congress
men is that the Morgan investiga
tions have shown that it is impos-
sible to collect income taxes from
the rich, and therefore, the taxes
must be collected directly from the
working class.
The present tax provisions OF the
Roosevelt public works program pla-
ces an annual tax burden of $7O0,-
0O0,0 900 directly on the workers and
small income sections Of the popu-
lation. 1t also contains a per
cent tax on electric current which
is passed to the consumers.
In an attempt to quiet the indig-
nation which has been aroused by
the recent disclosures, the House
WAYS and Means Committee is pre-
pared to split the electric tax into
two parts, l per cent to be paid by
the electric corr anies, and per
cent to be paid by the consumers.
The Roosevelt administration is
making every effort to rush the pre-
sent tax bill through, permitting only
six hours debate, and permitting no
amendments to be made except those
offered by the Ways and Means
Committee.
In an attempt to make it appear
as if the rich will now be forced 10
pay income taxes, the Committee may
also recommend that stock losses be
liable to tax reductions only in the
wear in which the loss occurred. Now
The law permits the rich to substract
stock losses from their incomes IN
the years after the losses occurred.
This would actually make little
difference, however, in income taxes
from the rich who take advantage
of the tax exempt provisions of Gov
eminent securities to evade income
tax payments. The Roosevelt govern
ment is not making any increases IN
the surtaxes on large incomes, how
ever.

Money Not Backed By Gold.
The American government will no
longer have any legal obligation to
pay it's debts in gold, even if pro-
vided for in gold clauses" in its
bonds which are supposed to guar
antee payments in gold.
All American money is now only
paper money not secured by any
gold.
More Initiation.
This act is only further proof that
the Roosevelt government is being
forced to embark upon sweeping
program of currency initiation which
will mean cheapening money, rising
prices, declining purchasing power,
and lower standard of living for
the masses,
Weapon Against Britain.
Roosevelt's request for the legal
abandonment of the gold standard
for American currency is also part OF
the attempt TO have powerful
