SHANGHAI, May 28-Japsnese
troops yesterday practically took over
control of the city of Peiping, former
capital of China. with japanese
guards patrolling the city day and
night.
Although the Japanese invading
forces from Manchuria did not enter
the city, so that technically it is
not occupied by Japanese Army, the
Japanese Legation Guard, now aug
mented to nearly 300 men, has ap-
propriated police powers, searching
the houses of Chinese residents and
making arrests.
This Peiping situation resembles
the prelude to the bitter Shanghai
hostilities nearly a year and half
ago, when large areas of Shanghai
were laid waste by japanese artillery
and bombs. The Legation Quarter

908 from their security underwriting
business from 1927 to 1881 This for
tune represents commissions which
the Morgans collected.
This profit is only part of the
Morgan profits from security under
writing, since most of the details of
these deals are still secret.
Some idea of the income of the
Morgan partners was given by the
statement of the Director of Inter-
nal Revenue, who said that the in
come payments of $11.000,000 which
the Morgans made in 1929 meant
that they must have had incomes of
at least $40,000,000 for that year.
This figure is, Of course, only the
minimum amount, which even the
Morgan lawyers could not hide. The
actual income was undoubtedly far
greater than that, since income from
dividends, tax exempt securities, ETC.,
would not be taxed Estimates of the
Morgan income for 1929 range from
$75 100000 to $200000,000.
The Morgan investigation has thus
far shown that the nations leading
politicians, government officials,
military officers, judges and foreign
representatives were on the Morgan
stock graft list for large, easy profits
without any risk involved
Among those on the Morgan list
of favorites for easy stock market
profits are: Calvin Coolidge, former
President of the United States;
Secretary of the Treasury Woodin,
General John j. Pershing, Comman-
der of the American armies during
the World War; Owen J. Roberts
Associate Judge of the United States
Supreme Court, and the leaders Of
the Republican and Democratic Par
ty, John j. Raskob, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, and
Joseph R. Mutt, treasurer of the Re-
publican National Committee.

the Morgan inside lists, is at present

Roosevelt Goes Fishing
With WOodin; Silent on
Morgan Tie to Tr'sury

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Almost i'm
mediately after it was revealed that
Secretary of the Treasury Woodin
had been on many of Morgan's stock
lists for easy Stock Market profits,
President Roosevelt announced that
Woodin would be one of mis- guests
on his yacht this weekend.
Roosevelt was asked whether this
meant approval of Woodin's actions
Roosevelt made no reply.
1t is usually considered that the
President has two courses in such
cases, either he may request his Of
fetal to resign, or he may make
some sign indicating that he does not
disapprove the officials actions. AS
yet, Roosevelt has made no public
statement on any phase Of the Nor
gan Investigations.

tives and one representative from the
Trade Union Unity League, one from
the Trade Union Unity Council of
New York and two gulf watermen and
one member of the reformist Inter

R. B. Hudson, national secretary of
the union opened the conference with
a short report. The union has made
definite progress in the North At
lantic ports and sterilization of mem
bership is beginning to be established.
Hudson stated that the conference
had been called to get the concrete
experiences of the delegates and to
establish closer contact between port
branches and ship membership. The
union could report definite num-
Der of struggles but not actual strikes
to any great extent.
The aim of the conference, he
pointed out, was to intensity the pre-
parations for the national cont ention,
July 1913 in New York City on a
basis of struggle.
Port and regional conferences will
be held throughout the country.

INDUSTRIAL
BILL BARS
union SHOPS
Open Sales Tax Clause
Defeated, But Other
Sales Taxes Retained

WASHINGTON, May 28.-Roose-
velt's industrial control" bill was
passed in the House by a record vote
Of 324 to rs.
This bill provides for a tax pro-
gram to finance a $4,000, 100000 of
public works program, and provisions
for the control of hours, wages, con-
ditions of work, etc. The main pur-
pose of the bill is, according to
Roosevelt, to restrict production and
make profits possible by lowering the
cost of production.
Outlaws Closed Shop
One of the most significant fea-
lures Of the bill provides that closed
shop contracts are illegal. In the
same section yellow dog contracts are
outlaWed. Thus, under the cover Of
outlawing yellow dog contracts the
Roosevelt administration is really
outlawing labor unions.
Legalizes Stagger Plan
The bill provides that the anti
trust laws shall be suspended for two
years, so that industry can combine
to regulate hours, wages, production,
etc. This section of the bill in reality,
means the official enforcement Of the
stagger plan Of spreading work by
reducing hours and wages. This will
mean further cuts in the income Of
the working class.
Levies Heavy Taxes
The tax features of the bill are es-
sentially unchanged from their origi-
nal form as presented by the Ways
and Means Committee. The proposal
of the open Sales Tax was defeated
because of the resentment OF the
masses.
However, the tax burdens Of the bill
fall heaviest upon the workers and
the lower sections of the population,
The gasoline taxes, the increased in
come taxes on lower incomes, are kept
in the bill These will cost the people
at least $13800o,00o a year
The excise taxes passed during the
Hoover administration have been re-
tanned. These cost the people from
$500, 900 900 to 5000, 900 900 every year.
The three per cent tax on the use
of electricity which is paid entirely
by the consumer has also been kept
in the bill. At first, after the shock
of the Morgan exposures, it was pro-
posed to pass some of this tax on to
the producers, but this was defeated.
All attempts to increase surfaces
on the incomes of large corporations
and large incomes we're defeated
1t provides, in addition, that the
rich will have to deduct their losses
from their incomes taxes during the
year in which they are supposed to
have occurred This will not make
much difference to the rich.

With the mayor Nygard opposing and
voting against, they passed this mo-
ton. They even voted to remove from
the record the motion of the previous
day.
The workers however refuse to &C
cept forced labor and are holding
their ranks solid Only ten men were
to be seen on the forced labor relief
jobs.
Under threat that anyone who
would not undertake to work to pay
for past relief orders would be cut off
from relief, workers are to be COM
PEELED to clear brush on lots and
plots of ground belonging to local
business men, Feeling against this
forced labor scheme ran high. At a
meeting of the Unemployed Council
a resolution was passed demanding
that all relief work be done on build
ing new workers houses and play
grounds. This to be done on an 8
hour day basis at as cents an hour,
