duced their prices.
The constable appeared twice yes
terday to carry out the evictionS at
18th Street and Avenue A. He
changed his mind, apparently, when
he saw the spirit and number OF
workers picketing the place. A mass
picket was maintained all day. A
large outdoor meeting also was held
Five more eviction notices were
served to the strikers yesterday
bringing the total to ten.
The constable's game of hide-and-
seek, in which he has been trying to
catch the strikers and pickets not
prepared, is expected to end today
when he will try to set out the furni-
ture, in spite Of the crowd. This is
why the strikers are urging very
large turnout this morning.
More than 1900 assembled in front
of 1888 Charlotte Street, the Bronx,
yesterday in support of the tenants
on strike there. They marched to
1877 and 1892 Fran,:lin Avenue, where
two other strikes are in progress.
In the four strikes in the Bronx,
as on Avenue A, the conStables are
trying to catch the workers unaware.
None of the evictions threatened in
these strikes we're carried out yes
terday, but are expected to be at
tempted surely today.
All workers are called upon there
fore to come to any of the following
places, where evictions are cx-
pected: 1888 Charlotte, 1877 and

NEW YORK.-With endorsements
coming in for its day old call for a
state wide conference in Albany to
frame and propose legislation for
relief and unemployment insurance,
for no evictions or labor iniunctions

its plans yesterday for the preli-

The preliminary conference is to in
clude every type of workers mass or
ganization: local unions of what
ever affiliation and workers frater-
nal organizations social and benefit
organizations. Branches Of the
workmen's Circle and Socialist Party

extra broad scope of the preliminary

rallying of the workers of the whole

date Of the preliminary conference

Weinstock Speaks to

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. - Louis
Weinstock, in an hours address be-
fore the senate subcommittee on
manufacturers, made q complete ex-
posture of william Green and the Of
ficialdom of the American Federation
of Labor and the Black Bill which
they support. This was, according to
newspapermen and others in the au-
dience, the most impressive state
ment yet heard by the committee.
The Black Bill under the pretense o.
putting into effect the 30-hour week
really provides for the legalization Of
the wage-cutting stagger system.
Weinstock followed Lowell of the
Brotherhood of Railway f1remen, who
predicted strike if the Black Bill
or similar bill is not passed.

Senator Black, trying to shield the
labor agents OF Wall Street who are
trying to put over his bill, closely
questioned Weinstock in regard to his

ing in Many Towns

MADRID, Jan. 1U.-lne re-
volt is still spreading through
out Spain. The police and the
civil guard (militia) are unable
to cope with the situation. In
spite of heavy censorship on
news from Barcelona it is
known that the workers of the
shops are all on the streets. In Ma
drid general paralysis is creeping
over the industries and the govern
ment is concentrating all its ener-
gies on desperate efforts to keep the
strike from spreading to rail, mine
and metal workers in all key indus
tries and transport systems. In Sc
vile and Cadiz transport workers
were this morning taking part in the
revolutionary movement.
Boss Butchers Talk Brayely.
1t is impossible to check up on the
number actually slain. Inspired re-
ports from the government, described
as semi-off1cial say that 81 have been
killed and more than 100 wounded.
That this is an underestimation is
clear by the fact that the casualties
in Barcelona yesterday exceeded this
number. 1t is probable that the gov
eminent is listing only casualties that
they know of in the workers ranks
while concealing the losses suffered
by the police and the civil guards.
Government officials have prepared
means of hasty exit from Madrid
and from the country in case the
movement gets too hot for their
safety. The minister of the interior,
Quiroga, who is in charge of the mil
itary and police is issuing bombast-
ic statements trying to belittle the
revolutionary upheaval. In a state
ment to few international news
paper correspondents he said: There
is no danger; we kill a few and the
foolish movement ends.
Raids Throughout Country.
In all the towns not affected there
are raids by police and armed hood
lums from the upper bourgeois and
professional elements against work.
ers and peasants. In many sections
the jails are full, but in others the
jails have been opened by the in
furiated populace who released the
prisoners after hand-to-hand fight
ing with the armed nercenaries of
the government. This was especially
so in velencia and Cadiz where gen.
eral strikes have been called.
Premier Azana is trying to ALLEVIATE
support from the revolutionary move
ment by rabid statements about
Moscow gold and then by saying that
money from Moscow does E--S pay
the regular expenses of the Conlmu-
mist Party, which gets aid from mo-
narchist elements" The workers
laugh at this as they know the Com
munist Party is their party, supported
by them. Azana announced that
there is sharp fighting in the village
of Bulgaria, Valencia province, be-
tween Communists and civil guards
and that he has ordered machine
gun units to the scene to aid the civil
guards who are retreating.

BEER BILL COURSE

With the Collier beer bill now under
consideration by the senate and the prob
ability of its passage, interest centers in
what President Hoover will do with it.
Congressman Britton of Illinois, after
Il conference with the president, intimated
that he would sign it. Almost Immediately
with this announcement by the press, came
the statement of one of the White House
secretaries that the president would do
nothing of the kind.
Supporters of the bill assert that it will
be signed. while opponents declare that it
will be vetoed.
The probability is that the beer bill, if
it reaches the White House, will be neither
signed nor vetoed.
The Constitution provides, in Section
z of Article l, that if any bill be passed by
both branches of congress and sent to the
president, it shall become law unless it is
returned by him within ten days. Presi-
dent Hoover can show his disapproval of
the bill and at the same time aecede to the
demands of the country by adopting this
course.
1t is his probable action.

oUELLINC THE FEAR OF THE FUTURE

Thousands of Americans have lost
their savings, their estates, and their in
vestment income-but their life insurance
holdings are as valuable as in the days of
the boom. In many instances that is all
they have left It's no wonder that the
American people have shown their faith in
life insurance by buying billions of dollars
worth of it while other types of investment
have dropped away to almost nothing.
One of the great human fears is of
possible misfortune in the future--the fear
of loss of savings and earnings when age
preeludes the chance of new start.
Every insurance policy helps guard
against disaster in the future and in many
cases, depending on the type of policy, it
is profit-returnng, investment for the
policyholder.
Perhaps no other humanity conceived
institution has had so remarkable a record
of safety and stability as has old line life
insurance. Banks have failed, as have
numberless industrial projects; govern
ments have defaulted on their securities
yet losses to policyholders of legal reserve
life insurance companies have been prac-
tically NIL The principal object of in
surance--security under any and all condi-
tions-has never been lost sight Of

unimportant whether the dollar comes

But, when tax commissions and poll
ticians announce program of tax reduc-
ton, it usually does precisely what has been
described above.
1t takes dollar off the property tax
and puts another dollar on the income tax.
It shifts burdens from an inheritance tax

but increases the total volume of tax

the fact that there is but one way to lower
taxes-to spend less money.

next time your public officials announce

do lower the cost of running the govern
ment, or simply dip into your other pocket.
Then act accordingly.
