State Commander G. j. Lawrence,

statement yesterday viciously attack

of attack is the same as was used
last year to split the ranks of the

Lawrence falsely stated that Ema-

"a tuition charge Tor students
at city colleges - such is the
proposal of the Tammany
comptroller of the city, Charles
W. Berry in his report to the
Board of Estimate.
Follows Bankers Demands
This proposal follows the demands
Of the bankers who renewed the
$14O 100000 debt due on May 1st, with
the understanding that fares would
be raised, wages Of subway and other
transport workers cut and other
economies" practiced so they could
continue TO draw dividends on their
investments.
Berry was supported in his pr0pos-
ais by George U. Harvey, Republican
borough president of Queens. a
member of the board of estimate, who
also carries out the demands Of the
bankers made on April &c when they
extended the loans to the city.
Part of the Economy" Program
This is a continuation Of the econ
omy" program to cradle the bankers
to get their rake-off at the expense
Of the workers on the subways who
have suffered lay-offs and memp'oT-
ment as fever trains were run and at
the expense of the passengers who arc
jammed like sardjnes into the over
crowded trains that are operating.
The bankers pretended to be per-
fectly innocent of knowledge of the
Berry proposals. One of them gave
an interview 10 the press in wh'c0
he said we had no knowledge
whatever of the plan to increase
subway fares, ferry fares and school
tuition fees until we were called lass
night by the newspapers. We had
made no recommendations of any
kind to Mr.. Berry"
VIII Raise Approximately $4,000 O0G
1t is estimated that the increases
will realize an additional s60,000,000
for the benefit of the Tammany
grafters and the bankers. Hundreds
Of thousands who use the subways
are today living on greatly lowered
standards because of the whole series
of wage cuts and wholesale unem-
ployment that have been imposed
upon them during the crisis. In
creased fares mean that they will
have to further deprive themselves
OF neceSsaries of life in order that
the bankers may get their dividends
on the heavily watered stock Of the
transport system and other city serv-
ices. 1t means millions taken out OF
the pockets of the poor TO give to the
rich.
O'Brien in Fake Opposition
In the afternoon press Mayor John
P. O'Brien came out with the usual
Tammany deception that he is OPP
posed to an increase in fares, al
| though it is known that he was in
agreement with the demands of the
bankers. 1t is generally known that
all the city officials were aware OF
biiC piOpOStt6 W NC HldQt ny Duly
more than a week ago.
The verbal opposition of OBrien
and other Tammany leaders is only
ruse to help put over higher fares.
In this regard O'Brien is simply
carrying out the job for which he
was put in office. At that time it
was charged and never denied that
he was placed there by Tammany for
the specific purpose of abolishing the
five-cent fare and imposing a higher
fare.
Drive Thousands from Schools
The proposal to impose tuition
fee of 500 term upon all students
at the city colleges will drive thous-
snds OF these students out OF school
as they have difficulty even now to
purchase the books they require and
to get money for csrfare to and from
the colleges.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex.-(FP) = A

near San Antonio.
Camp Olga, as it is called-the name
stands for agricultural and industrial

the colony works in return for three
squares a day and shelter, which is
provided in comfortably furnished box
cars set up as homes. Family unity
is encouraged. The entire work of OPP

donations of land and materials, or
ganized dances to raise funds, and in
a short time the colony became a CO.

Maverick told Federated Press.
Residents are free to leave the col
ony whenever they please. While they
stay at the camp they must do their
share of the work. Doctors, cement
workers and others whose services
were needed to build the colony con

GALL
OF WALSH
is BLOW TO NEW
CABINET

WASHINGTON-(FP) - Sudden
death of Senator Walsh Of Montana,
three days before he was to become
attorney general, was a severe blow
to the cabinet machinery built up by
President Roosevelt. Walsh had al
ready indicated that he intended to
make a sweeping change in the per-
sonnet of the Department of Justice,
and the rest of the cabinet had look
ed to him for guidance in much Of the
Legislative program that was to be
laid before the new Congress to meet
the economic crisis. No new man,
brought in at the last moment, could
readily prepare himself for the work
which the attorney general under
Roosevelt will be expected to handle
in connection with reorganization of
| federal control of banks, utilities, fl
nance companies, etc.
Walsh had been expected to enlist
as his assistants a number of liberal
lawyers of national reputation, and to
have them draft measures for repeal
of the Espionage Act and humanizing
of the immigration Act, among other
statutes now in barbarous terms.

UP ILLEGAL
BE UTALITY OF
CHICAGO POLICE

CHICAGO-(FP)-At the request
of Police Commissioner Altman the
Chicago Civil Liberties Committee pre-
sented evidence of unlawful and UNI
necessary brutality by officers under
his command. All the cases were re-
cent one and many of them showed
a perverse delight by the police in in
flicting torture on men and women
presumed innocent until convicted. In
none of the cases were the victims
subsequently convicted.
Brutality was used in arresting peo-
pie attending outdoor demonstrations
and also in raids without warrants on
indoor meetings. Those arrested were
beaten and kicked by officers at the
scene, in the patrolwagon and in the
stations.
Mae Wernick tells in an affidavit
of being dragged by the hair from the
wagon up the steps to the station. She
had been previously dubbed uncon-
scious and kicked. She was injured
so seriously by officers clubs that she
was taken to the hospital where the
doctor sewed up her head wounds and
said to the policeman: "You certain
ly made a good job Of this"
Sixty prisoners taken at two indoor
meetings without warrants Jan. 81
were packed into a small CELL" the
committee charges, "where they were
held for periods ranging from So 10
go hours. During this period the
prisoners were so closely packed that
the large majority of them were forced
to remain standing during the whole
period. The fact that these prisoners
were held without booking, as well as
the fact that other cells were empty
at the time, support the complaint that
police used this device as a method of
torturing their prisoners"
The police commissioner replied in
defense of his men that many of the
affidavits were by Communists and
were therefore mot acceptable"

DIS CHICAGO
FOE IN CABINET

CHICAGO - (FP) - The insult
cronies who are running the profitable
operating companies of the former
utility empire are angered and dis
couraged by President Roosevelt's APP
pointment Of Atty. Harold L. Ickes of
Chicago to be secretary of the inter-
ior. Ickes and Donald Richberg, coun-
sci for the railroad brotherhoods have
been two of the most persistent fight
ers against the insult gas, light and
transportation octopus while it was
at the height of its power.
They were recognized foes of the
present utility fugitive before it be-
came fashionable and safe to be SO.
While the dailies were silent on the big
insult steals Ickes carried on a fight
against the ~streetcar and elevated
sellouts and Richberg was leader in
the attempt to curb extortion by the
gas company.
Ickes is a director of the Utility
Consumers & Investors League which
showed up the corrupt Illinois COM
merce commission, composed before
this year mainly of insult henchmen
and camp followers. The league has
just protested the continued payment
of an s18,OOO-a-year pension to In
sui by the three big operating COM
panies in the Chicago area which he
used to loot.
Formerly it was next to impossible
for the league to get space in the
Chicago Tribune for news of its i'm.
portant activities. Today, with In
sull down and out, the Tribune editor
tally supports the leagues demand for
cancellation of his pension, saying,
"The victims of his later day opera
tions will never see the justice Of
granting him a competence when they
face restitution"
In spite of this massing of opposi-
ton and in spite of the walls of in
vestors who lost almost two billion
dollars in his racketeering deals it is
considered probable that the insult
pensions will continue to be paid. They
are regarded as hush money to the old
pirate, to keep him from Switching on
his fellows who still sit on top of the
world coming money out of utility con-
sumers.
As evidence, financial commenta-
tors point to Sam insult, Jr., who is
still pulling down $4,000 a year sal
airy from the concerns he helped his
father to plumber in the palmy days.
