THOSE NUMBERING
THIEVES"

Scotty Ferguson of Washington
growls, "The numbering thieves.
Scotty has been writing letter for
the two boys, sons of a dispossessed
Washington farmer, here with him
az the conference. He bites his
pencil angrily. Some one offers him
a cigaret. He doesn't smoke. He
would like some snus, Copenhagen
snuff. He says a poor farmer has
not even dime to spare these days.
We get the snuff for him. He
takes a big pinch. He glares under
his bushy eyebrows and growls,

they built the shack over the truck,
all with material from the farm.
Saturday they started out. Things

The farmers break through this
opposition. They storm the head

hobnailed shoes pound about

knock into each other and look

grab the first chance to rest. They
Jack themselves up to stand patti

THE bill introduced by Senator
i Mastick is similar to Senator
Byrne's bill. The only difference
is that one belongs to the Demo-
cratic Party and the other to the
Republican Party. This is to satisfy
those Federation OF Labor leaders
who support the Republican Party.
And these are the wonderful
schemes called unemployment in
surance by the A. F. of L., and
which have the full blessings Of the
Socialist Party.
After this article was written,
the Joint Legislative Committee
for Unemployment Insurance,
composed of Republicans, Demo-
Gratis and representatives Of the
N. Y. State Federation Of Labor,
as well as bosses, rejected the
enactment Of "any kind of unem-
pIoyment insurance bills until the
depression is over" This is the
result of two years "hard work"
on the part of the Legislative

House Approval
Given Measures
Elimination OF Buying OF Evi-
dence, Wire Tipping, And
Undercoper Men Approved

Rigid restrictions on future fed
eral enforcement of the dry laws,
which high ranking prohibition
officials termed a 'severe handicap"
were approved by the house recent
ly.
1t adopted a series of amend
ments to the department of justice
supply bill, tearing from the hands
of the prohibition bureau its pow
erful weapons of purchase of evi-
dence, wire tapping, and so-called
'undercover men,"
In addition, the house voted 129
to 11S to reduce to $S,440.000 the
bureaus appropriation for the
next fiscal year-10 per cent be-
low the present appropriation. The
action is not final and must be ap-
proved by the senate and the Pre-
sident.
The first move by the anti-pro-
hibitionists had been a drive to
eliminate all prohibition funds
this, they succeeded in tying onto
it the amendments.
Col. Amos W. w. Woodcock,
in charge of federal enforcement,
refused to comment and his sub
ordinates would only speculate on
how far-reaching the effect of the
Handicap" would be. One high
official, who refused to permit his
name to be used, said, however:
"After all, it is for congress to
lay down policy, but it certainly
looks as though they do not want
the prohibition law enforced"
