LABOR CALLED
On to Fight Fascisln With
ALI Power

Zurich.---A stirring appeal for
whole hearted defense of democracy
and unremitting opposition to Fascism
was made by the general council OF
the International Federation of Trade
Unions, meeting here. The appeal de-
nounces the communists for dividing
| the workers, and calls upon labor to
| fight dictatorship with ell its strength.
"The international Federation of
Trade. Unions strenuously opposes
Fascism and dictatorship in any
FORM" the appeal says. "Fascism is
the negation of democracy and inev-
itably brings in its trail the suppress
sion of the liberties of the people.
"The war and the world economic
crisis brought about conditions in
Germany which our comrades in that
country have ceaselessly striven to
mitigate. They believed in obtaining
redress by reason and persuasion.
Hitlerism stands for methods of force
and for perverted nationalism which
are grave danger to peace.
Communists Divide Workers
"The economic depression of world
capitalism, bringing in it's trail the
millions of unemployed and under
employed, hopelessness, misery and
| despair mounting in volume, has been
unscrupulously exploited by the enc
mics of the people.
| "By their malicious propa-
ganda and activities the commu-
nists have deliberately divided the
! forces of the workers and thereby
weakened their powers of resist
| ance.
"The rise of Fascism, that has now
| fashioned itself upon the German
| people, is warning to all workers.
They must take steps to prevent its
emergence wherever democracy is
| still in being. One of it's best guar
antees for freedom and peace and de-
mocracy is free and unfettered
| trade union movement.
1 Labor Backs German Masses
"To, the working masses of Ger
many we express our heartfelt SYM
pathy in their hour of trial. We as
sure them that they can always con-
fidently rely upon the solidarity of
the international Federation of Trade
Unions.
"All lovers of freedom must be
reused into activity against Fascism
and its attendant dangers by voice,
by pen, by organization, by education
land by any appropriate economic and
political action; this rule of force
against reason, of the Iron Hand
against public will, must receive our
unremitting opposition.
"HAIL LIBERTY! HAIL PEACE!
HAIL DEMOCRACY!
"HAIL INTERNATIONAL SOIL
| DARITY!"

REPORT
More Than Seventeen Mil
lion Workers Idle

New York City (ILNS)-More thar
IL million Americans have no jobs
and no chance of getting any imme.
diately. The Alexander Hamilton In.
stitute has made public a report or
unemployment that shows condition
worse than has been reported from
any other source, exceeding the A. F
of L. figures on unemployment BY
some four million.
The institute reports that today's
average income of those at work is
$640 a year, against an average OF
$1,157 in 1929. The report asserts
its figures are from governmental
sources, but it's figures on unemploy
ment are larger than any the govern
ment has issued. The report says that
whereas the government reported
three million idle in April. 1880, in
reality six million were idle and the
estimates have been too small ever
since.
1t is asserted by the institute that
4,158,000 were idle in 1929, so that
l2,878,000 have been added to unem-
ployment totals during the depres-
sion.
"It is evident, therefore," says the
institute, "that the unemployment
problem was already serious one in
1929, alhough it was not generally

To Make Test in Courts
of "MOve-On" Ordinance

Norfolk, Va. (ILNS)-A court test
Of a "move-on" ordinance here will
be made by Ernest S. Merrill, Nor
folk attorney, who has defended nu-
merous cases involving civil liberties.
Mr.. Merrill will contend that the law
IL unconstitutional.
Under the ordinance, persons "loit-
ering or standing" on the street must
move on or separate when SO ordered
by any policeman, under penalty of
fine ranging from SO to $3.50, and,
in the discretion of the polio justice,
confinement in Jail up to 80 days. An
identical ordinance in Richmond was
recently held invalid by Judge In
gram in Hastings court, in case
defended by Mr.. Merrill.

Answer: they have not thrown it

1t is still the measure for all those

Did you forget that?
Well, don't do that!
They have just laid it aside,

Governor Signs
Minimum Pay Bill

Albany, N. Y. 1LNS)-Goyernor
Lehman on May l signed the Wald
mandatory minimum wage bill for
women and children. He vetoed a
permissive minimum wage bill which
would have included men in its pro-
visions.
In signing the bill, the governor
said:
The principle of fair wages legis-
lation for women and minors should
not be restricted to an emergency.
1t is obviously of extreme social i'm
portance that at all times women and
minors in industry be given state
protection in the fixini' of wage levels,
so that the return for their labor
shall be commensurate with the fair
value of the services rendered and
sufficient to meet the minimum cost

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.-Introduc-
ing an English racing idea to the an
nual 50O-nile auto classic at the In
dianapolis Motor Speedway on May
80, Wilbur Shaw will use pith driv-

forced out by engine trouble at the
completion Of 391 miles.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND.-Two fem
inine hearts, which have infinitely
more than grand-stand interest, will
again turn fip-fops when daring,
dashing, dapper Billy Arnold burns
up the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
in the annual 500-mile automobile
race here May 80.
They are the 1880 winners wife
and mother, who never miss a race
and wonder why they court such
agony. The wife gave the speedway
guards a busy few minutes when
Billy crashed last year after leading
the race for 130 miles at terrific
pace Of more than Ill miles an hour.
Although he crashed in his last two
races, Arnold is considered one Of
the greatest natural drivers since
Jimmy Murphy and Frank Lockhart
and will again be one Of the favorites
on Decoration Day.

State of Liechtenstein
Made Principally in III!

The minute European state OF
Lechtenstein was constituted q
sovereign principally in 1719 by
Emperor Carl Nv of Austria. 1t
contains two districts. Schellenburg
and Vaduz, and its geographical area
OF about 65 square miles would amount
to 100 or more If 1t could only be fat
tened out. The country lies east
across the Rhine from Switzerland and
stretches along the upper courses OF
that famous river for above twelve
miles, beginning some fifteen miles
above Lake Constance. Vaduz, the cap
ital, and Schaan, the only railroad
station, together with the villages Of
Balzers, Bendern, and Ruggel, ETC..
house the major part of the ten thou
sand inhabitants.
From 1915 to 1868 1t was a part Of
the German Confederation, but at the
close Of the Austro- -Prussian war It
again became independent. Up to the
end Of the World war its postal affairs
were intrusted to Austria, and at first
ordinary Austrian stamps were used.

BY Mr.. MOdestus-

When you are buying, you want a
large measure.
When selling, it is good business to
use small measure.
Now is a good time to buy
If you have money to buy with.
Prices are down.
So-buy!
When prices go up, you will make
handsome profits
If somebody else must buy
And has the money.
Cash talks!
Going in debt is good business
When prices are down.
You can easily liquidate-
When prices are going up.
Good business deals so as to make
money.
Anybody will make bread and shoes
for you
If you have the money
Moral: Make Money!
All of which explains at lot of
things:
Among others
Why the Bank of England went off
the Gold Standard.
Also-why the banks of America
are now willing also
Have been getting ready for some
time
Have now passed the word along
To change the measure
The measure of Values
The Dollar.
The Unit.
Gold?
That is just the handy measure of
values
That's all gold is.
Handy--because it is flexible,
And has been enntrollable, mainly.
Then why have they thrown it
away?

BIG BUILDING
Program Urged for Govern
ment Navy Yards

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)--Wil-
liam Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, announced on
May / that the executive council had
recommended to congress that $780,
100000 of the proposed $4,000, 100000
construction appropriation be allot-
ted for naval construction to be car
ried on in governmt navy yards. He
said:
at is the opinion of the executive
council that the naval construction
program thus recommended should be
carried on by the government and in
the government navy yards. Such
policy would mean that many gov
ermnet employees could retain their
positions and thus avoid large dis
missals from the government service;
and furthermore that not only would
thousands of additional workers be
employed but that naval construction
would be carried on under fair, just
and humane conditions of employ
ment
"We firmly believe that the devel-
opment and construction of the naval
strength of the nation to the point
approximating the provisions of the
London treaty will be to the best in
terests of the nation, and in addition
such action will result in the crea-
tion of work opportunities for thou
sands of unemployed working people" I"

MORE DELAY
Times staff Photo

Further consideration of the
District supply bill for 1884 by
House and Senate conferees will
be postponed until the closing
days of this session of Congress,
it was stated today by Senator
Elmer Thomas CD of Oklahoma,
chairman of the Senate conferees.
The delay has been agreed to
at the request of Senator Carter
Glass 3D. of Virginia, who asked
that consideration be postponed
until banking legislation in which
he is interested is acted on.
According to Senator Thomas,
the conferees are not deadlocked,
although the House group will not
agree to a report until the Sen
ate conferees yield on two major
items.
The House delegation will yield
on some few minor items if the
Senate agrees to a Federal lump
sum contribution of $5,700,00O in
stead of $6,250,00O as proposed by
the upper branch and to include
the $1,0O0,00O annual payment to
the Federal Government under
the Capper- Champion metropoli-
tan parkway development plan.
The Senate eliminated this from
the bill.

City Heads Consider Cut of 20
Gents Per $100; No Time for
Study of Assessments

That the District Commission
eEs will reduce the tax rate for
the coming year rather than to
order a lateral slash in assess
ments appeared likely today.
The demand for real estate
assessment reductions was voiced
yesterday to the Commissioners
by a delegration from the Fedora
tion of Citizens Associations,
headed by James G. Yaden. The
delegation declared assessments
here to be at 1929 levels. despite
the deflation of property values
since that time.
However, any change that is
to be made in the tax method
must be made before July l, the
beginning of the fiscal year, and
the belief at the District Build
ing is that there is not sufficient
time for a general review of
assessments.
The District Commissioners
have already announced that
they will begin consideration of
a reduction of the tax rate from
$1.70 per $100 to $3.50 imme-
diately after the District supply
bill is passed. No action can be
taken before the bill is passed,
however.

ATTACHE FORCE
S[ASHED To 80

Nearly 100 foreign commercial
attache officers of the Depart
ment of Commerce are to be
dropped by orders of President
Roosevelt as an economy meas
ure, it was made known at the
White House today. President
Roosevelt has ordered that the
number be. reduced to so.
The President feels that many
of these officers are running
around Europe and the rest Of
the world having a good time.
He believes so of them would be
sufficient to meet the demands
of the Commerce Department.
The cost of maintaining these
attaches during the last fiscal
year was $1,159,036, of which
1927 300 was for salaries. 1t is
estimated that the reduction in
number will save 100000.
The so retained will be trans
ferred to the jurisdiction of the
State Department.
The system of foreign trade
commissioners and commercial
attaches was built up by Herbert
Hoover while he was Secretary
of Commerce.

SCHOOLS To CUT
COST Of BOOKS

Reduction in the cost of text
books to pupils in Alexandria (VaD
public schools is contemplated by
the school board for the 1933-34
session, it was announced today.
Pupils at the close of the pres
ent term may turn in their books
to their respective teachers and
upon the start of the new term in
the fall will receive books for
their new classes upon payment
of 81 in the high school classes
and $1.5O in the graded schools.
Pupils who do not turn in their
books will be required to furnish
their own.
At present the average cost to
pupils for books is $12 a year
with the school board furnishing
about $4,000 worth of books to
INDECENT scholars.
