MORGAN AGENTS
EVADE TAXES BY
MANIPULATION

WASHINGTON June a.-The Sen
ate voted today to give its investigat-
ing Committee the power to inquire
into the income tax payments Of the
rest Of the Morgan partners. 1t also
voted an appropriation OF 500 900 to
finance the investigation.
Committee 10 Keep Taxes Secret
1t was pointed out, however, by
Senator Fletcher, Chairman of the
Senate investigating Committee that
this does not necessarily mean that
the committees findings will be made
public. The likelihood was that they
would not be made public, he said
When the Senate decision was made
known, John w. Davis, the Morgan
attorney who. was the Democratic
candidate for president in 1924, said
that the Morgan partners would re-
fuse to answer the questions on in
come tax payments.
VIII Adjourn
1t is said that the Senate Commit
tee will adjourn until the Fall after it
finishes the present line of inquiry
into the workings Of the Morgan
controlled railroad holding company,
the Allegheny Corporation.
This would mean the practical end
ing Of the investigation into the af-
fairs OF the Morgans.
Evade Taxes
Today's examination brought out
that the Van Sweringen brothers who
are the Morgan agents in the Ale
gheny Corporation, got control of the
vast railroad empire with practically
no investment of their own The mil
lions of dollars which they used we're
provided by issuing enormous sup
plies of stocks which were sold to the
people. Most of these savings were
swept away by the stock crash Of
1929. The Allegheny is still controlled
by the Morgans.

CONFERENCE
AIMS TO CUT
WHEAT AREA
Anti -Soviet Dumping
Lies Exposed at
London Session

LONDON, June 8.-How to induce
the farmers to cut down wheat acre
age so that the food gamblers can
dispose of the enormous surpluses
they hold at higher prices is the prob
lem facing delegates of the United
States, Canada, the Argentine and
Australia, who are in conference here.
The conference consists only of six
men, representing the four countries
that produce 80 per cent Of the
worlds wheat supply, according to
figures furnished by them.
Enormous Surplus in No. America
With tens of millions of men, wom-
en- and children enduring pangs of
hunger for want of bread, there are
in the United States and Canada
more than 400 100000 bushels of sur
plus wheat in storehouses. If produc-
ton can be curtaiIed for as much as
four years by one-fourth to one-third
Of the present acreage the market
gamblers and bankers who own this
surplus hope to realize big profits off
it,
Figures Blast Soviet Dumping Lie
One noteworthy feature Of the con-
ference is the official statement that
Russia is not factor in the pres
ent wheat market" This is due 10
the fact that in the Soviet Union the
first consideration is TO feed the peo-
pie and anyone who attempts to spec
ulate on the food supply is sternly
dealt with. Figures of the price drop
in wheat also show that the biggest
fall in prices took place long before
there was even the slightest export
of wheat from the Soviet Union. This
completely refutes the lie of Soviet
dumping that was used a year and a
half ago and that is still being re-
peated in farm papers in capitalist
countries today.
Seek to Provoke Imperialist War
The delegates of the four countries
realize that any agreement between
them is very difficult, if not impos-
sible, aside from turning their diff
ferences in the direction of aiding the
international conspiracies for inter-
vention and war against the Soviet
Union.
Henry A. Morgenthau of the United
States and Stanley Bruce, former
Australian prime minister and now
resident Australian minister in Lon
don, and Howard Ferguson, Canadian
high commissioner, are trying to find
way to place the wheat surplus at
the disposal of countries being used as
bases from which to launch an anti
Soviet war This, in spite Of the fact
that they themselves have had to ad-
NIT that the wheat dumping yarn
against the Soviet Union Is now com
pletely discredited by facts they could
no. longer conceal.

CONGRESS TO
PUT THROUGH
CUT ON VETS
Program to Be Carried
Out AS Originally
Planned

WASHINGTON, June BIN an eff
fort to shield the Roosevelt admin
istration from widespread denuncia-
ton among the war veterans the pub
licity agents of the government have
modified the capitalist press CORES
pondentS to create the fiction of a
"compromise" on the proposed cuts.
The United Press reports that eff
forts are being made to stem a dan
gerous house revolt against the eco
Monies" as they affect veterans.
To Garry Through Attacks
But the facts brought out refute
the Roosevelt ballyhoo that the orig
inal cuts in pensions and compensa-
ton have been modified. They are
to be carried out as planned. Ma
iority Leader Byrns announced, after
a meeting of the house democratic
steering committee, that the basis Of
the agreement with the White House
had been reached. Each ex-soldier
suffering reduction or cutting off
Of pension or compensation would be
allowed to file to appeal. All such ap-
peals will be separately examined.
This means that all cuts as orig
inally intended go into effect and
that each veteran must file his own
appeal, which will hang fire indefin-
itely. Meanwhile the cuts will be in
operation
Vets Fight for Program
The Veterans National Rank and
File Committee, elected by the dele
gates and mass convention Of rank
and file veterans, is actively fighting
against the proposed cuts and is Civ
ing wide publicity to the aim and OBJ
jects Of the Veterans National Liaison
Committee, which issued the call for
the recent Washington convention.
This program for needed relief is as
follows:
l. Immediate cash payment of the
remainder of the Adjusted Service
Certificates.
2. No cuts in disability compen-
sation, disability allowances, pensions,
disqualification provisions, and other
veteran benefits. Reconsideration OF
the Economy Act, with the view of
preventing the harsh injustices entail
ed in its application.
3. Immediate remedial relief for
all impoverished farmers and the Ma
tons unemployed.

O'BRIEN LETTER
SAYS EVICTIONS
ARE TOCONTINUE

NEW YORK-The struggle against
evictions led by the Unemployed
Councils and the presentation OF de-
mands to the Board of Estimate We'd
nesday by United Front Committee
that the city stop evictions has forced
an answer from the head of the city
government, Mayor OBrien.
His office issued letter yesterday
to all city marshals, instructing them
to give a hours notice to all tenants
prior to carrying through an eviction
and to notify the Emergency Home
Relief Bureau Of the eviction by call
ing Mr.. Maloney, rent consultant Of
the bureau, at 81 w. 47th St. "to
provide shelter for the evicted fam
lilies"
Eyictions TO Continue.
The letter makes no specific pro-
visions for paying rent and keeping
worker and his family in their
home. 1t begins with the promise
that eYictions are to continue. The
purpose Of the Mayors letter is to
create the illusion that families in
need will be shown more considera-
ton.
Behind the Mayors phrase about
providing shelter for the eyicted
families" is the sinister intention of
breaking up the homes of unemployed
workers, scattering the family, send
ing the children to asyIums, the pa
rents to relatives or flop houses. lin
today's installment of New York
Metropolis of Hunger" on page 2,
stories Of how the city is breaking
up homes is told in vivid detaiI)
Demand No Evictions
When the delegation went to the
Board OF Estimate Wednesday it pre-
Sented a Workers Ordinance with
series of demands and a program for
raising the relief, to be adopted as
city law.
The ordinance specifically stated
as the demand of the unemployed the
stopping of all 'evictions of unem-
ployed and part-time workers" and
rents to be paid for the jobless BY
the Home Relief Bureaus"
The instructions that marshals
give "a hours notice before eyicting
mas been general rule up until now.
The instructions about notifying the
Home Relief Bureau concerning the
eviction is also an empty gesture. The
bureaus are well informed on evic-
tons, workers come there day after
day prior to the eviction asking I'M
successfully for rent.
OBrien also told the marshal that
one of their men must remain on the
scene of the eviction until the furni-
ture is on the pavement and a rep
resentative Of the Home Relief Bu-
reau arrives.
The last order is partly due TO the
complaints of workers that evictions
are taking place without notice, that
landlords break into apartments
without legal procedure. But it is
mainly for the purpose Of mobilizing
the forces Of the city government to
prevent workers from putting back
evicted furniture into their houses as
is being carried through daily under
the leadership of the Unemployed
Councils.

70 increase the water rates.
Thus, the City government
is preparing to lay the tax bur-
dens to meet the bankers payments
directly upon the backs of the poor
est sections of the population.
The Tammany Mayor OBrien said
that this kind of tax was "one Of the
finest and fairest that could be i'm
posed" This statement, of course
contradicts the opinions of even the
most reactionary bourgeois econom-
lists who all admit that sales tax
falls heaviest upon the poorest sec
tons of the population.
Money Not for Relief
Mayor O'Brien also revealed that
contrary to his first statements, not
all oil the s15,o0o,00o expected to be
Immediately realized from the auto
taxes, will go for relief purposes
Thus, the City administration admits
that it is levying the new taxes tc
meet payments to the bankers
rather than for relief expenditures
To Pay Bankers
The budget crisis" is due to the
fact that on June 10 a delegation OF
Wall Street bankers, headed by Win
throp Aldrich, Rockefeller agent o.
the Chase National Bank and Franz
Polk, Morgan agent, whose name
appeared on many Of the selected
stock lists, will demand payment or
the 1926, 600 10000 loans which fall due
on that day.
The City has $50 1000 900 in cash. A
large part Of this is being held for tht
bankers. Relief has been cut to thG
bone. Over $4,000 workers familie;
face immediate eviction due to non.
payment of relief rent by the Wei
fare Bureau.
Preparing Wage Cuts
With protests from realty ant
property interests against the autt
taxes mounting, the City is laying thu
strategy for another series of wage
cuts in the salaries of the schoo
teachers, etc. The cry for 'retrench'
ment," reductions in the city pay
rolls, is getting stronger every day
among certain property groups close
to the City government.
These demands are directed main
ly, not against the enormous salaries
of the Tammany officials who clut.
ter up the City government, but
against the lower salary brackets
The Tammany officials in the Boarc
Of Education are limiting more openly
every day OF coming Sacrifices thai
