the gangsters we're routed and some
Of their number had to be carried
away. For many workers this is
their first strike and first encounter
with gangsters.
Police who we're conveniently abb
sent at the time of the attack ar
rived on the scene later and assisted
the wounded ganssters, held a con-
sultatioh with the rest and freed
them all. The police then invaded
the headquarters and arrested Is
workers, charging them with hold
ing an unlawful meeting and pro-
voking fight with passers-by"I
Two lines Of attack we're used by
the bosses paid thugs. First they
entered the headquarters, command
ed the workers to line up against the
wall and one of their members made
a speech claiming they we're only
friends of Frank Thompson, worker
who was sentenced to 10 days on
frame up charge, and that they
would help free Thompson if the
workers ended the strike. The speaker
prOQuced Wrltten statement from
the boss stating that those arrested
In the last few days would be freed
IL the workers returned. Receiving
no response the gang left.
Two hours later they returned and
without warning began wrecking the
hall and using their knives, bottles
and clubs on the defenseless workers.
Four Of those arrested cannot be
located. Persistent demands by the
LID. attorney Samuel Goldberg
forced authorities to order the APP
pearaf1ce of the esngsters In court
Friday morning.
Police are intimidstine that the
injured sangster may die, in event
OF which they will frame-up foni-
eide charges against some Of the
work.

SENATE VOTES
SILVER COINAGE
M e ans of Debasing
the Currency Still More

WASHINGTON, April a. - The
Senate voted it's approval today Of
the Wheeler king amendment au-
thorizing the President to issue sill
yer coinage at q fixed ratio to gold.
The ratio has not been determined.
An amendment was also intro
duced to increase the amount OF sill
yer the government may receive
from foreign powers in payment for
war debts from $10o,000,000 to
1899 5000 This silver can be Used,
according to the amendment, as
backing for the issuance Of new pa
per currency.
"Not Iuflationary Enough
During the course Of the debate
on the Thomas amendment which
provides for an elaborate inflationary
machinery, Senator Borah declared
that he believed that the bill was
mot inflationary enough AS mat
ter OF fact, the Thomas amendment
and the recent Emergency Bank Act
machinery prvide for an unlimited
initiation Of the currency.
The ThomaS amendment provides
for the issuance of three billion dol
lars of paper currency to be used to
retire government bonds and pay gov
eminent interest. 1t provides for the
expansion of bank credit by another
three billion through the purchase
bonds by the Federal Reserve banks
in the open market. It's most disputed
provision gives the President power to
reduce the gold content of the dollar.
1t Is certainty that the Thomas
Amendment will be passed in a day
or two at the latest.
The avoWed purpose Of the Roose-
welt irlflationary program Is to raise
prices. This will mean an increase
in the cost Of living.

Wage Cutters Want
Inflated Currency
to Increase Profits

A QUESTIONABLE sent to over $50
leading American capitalists by the
National Industrial Conference Board
indicates that more than 81 per cent
OF them are in favor of initiation and
deyaluating the dollar.
These men, who are interested in
making more profits at the expense
Of the working class, are naturally
interested in lowering the purchasing
power OF the dollar through initiation.
Among those who answered the ques-
tionnaire are such notorious exploit
ers OF labor as George Houston Presi-
dent of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works; w. H. Lalley, President of the
Kelly Springfield Tire Company; w.
G. Dickerman of the American Loco
motive Works and John Henry Ham

Railroad.

Dave Slete who holds the contract
for the svernment Job. Slote is signed
UP with the union and according to
the terms Of agreement he is sup
posed to pay the existing union scale
Of 1890 day. Since neither the gov
eminent nor the contractor intend to
pay such a wage the contractor has
forced the workers TO return 1920 a

other words the workers are being
forced to work for IS a day. What the
rake-off Is TO the officials for cover
ing up this violation of the union
agreement is not yet known.
Following this report the union
membership voted to refer the ques-
tons to the District Executive Com

manding immediate action. Since

property within their reach. vic
Tins, all old unemployed workers,
lie MANNED and wounded in the hos

brutal attack.
Criminal Records
Several ganssters, whose finger
print records disclose their past
criminal performances, were arrest

the Penal Law for the possession
Of dangerous weapons. The mat

in order to allow time for clearing

wouldn't like to march into the

ready there. 1t will be necessary to

ing ill.," thus insisting that the police
drive out the workers after the So
cialist meeting. Winter declared that
the United Front May Day Commit
tee would be glad to accept positions
on the outskirts Of any group OF
workers gathered in the Square and
would object 10 any effort to clear
them out.
Earlier in the conference, the So
cialists had insisted that the United
Front parade be re-routed through
Madison Square so that it should
not pass the workers in the Socialist
meeting with its rousing call for re-
manning in the Square to join in a
united demonstration. This was re-
fused by the United Front Commit
tee and the police we're forced to
agree TO a reviewing stand being
erected on the east side OF Fourth
Avenue at 18th Street, where the en-
tire line Of march would pass in re-
view on its way into Union Square.

Business Looks Up

The continued improvement in business and employment conditions which has been in evidence during recent months has begun to convince even the most pess.mistic that we are really on the road to national economic recovery.
 Many factors are contribut- ing to this most desirable re- suit ,and it cannot be doubted that the bold legislative pro- gram enacted by Congress at the request of President Roose- welt is the most important of these factors. This can be freely said without the slight e?t political partisanship, be- cause leaders of both parties have had a part in passing this legislation.
 It is believed by many that among the measures recently passed by Congress and various state legislatures the laws le- galizing the sale of 3.2 per cent beer have been especially beneficial in affording wide spread unemployment relief, while at the same time contrib uting to the cause of real tenn perence through curtailing the consumption of bootleg liquor.
 Many industries, including the manufacture of brewery equipment, bottles, barrels and boxes, ice machinery and re- frigeration facilities, and other supplies have given new mar ket for products of the farm, forest and factory, as we'll as employment to many men.
 Taxes paid to the Federal, state and local governments during the short time in which the sale of beer has been per mitted have exceeded all ex- pectations.
 President Roosevelt himself is said to believe legalization of beer to be an important factor in his recovery program, and to an unprejudiced observer it seems to be working out that way.
