Federation DistOrts Call
Issued by Painters
Local 637

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April "a
All local A. F. of L. unions
and central federated bodies
and the Railway Brother
hoods in Chicago and vicinity
will meet at Garments Hall,
Ashland and Van Buren, Sts.,
on Sunday, April 20, al the
suggestion of Local Union 637 of the
Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators
and Paperhangers, which on March
4th, submitted to the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor, a resolution de-
manding continuation and extension
Of G. w. A. jobs.
The resolution of Local 657 pro-
posed: y that the G. w. A. provide
jobs for all the Chicago unemployed
at union wages on the basis of a
five day week and siX-hour day;
% that the government grant funds
for the continuation Of all G. w. A.
projects originally planned; and
~ that the c. w. A. launch an
extensive program Of public works
schools. hospitals, etc. in working
class neighborhoods, and the aboli-
ton Of the Chicago slums and the
erection of workers homes at low
rental.
Federation Distorts Call
At the meeting OF the Chicago
Federation of Labor on March 18th,
Edwards Nockels, secretary of the
Federation, tried to substitute a diff
ferent call than that issued by the
Painters Local 637.
A study Of the call issued by the
Federation reveals the real inten-
tions of the A. F. OF L. leadership
to boost the Roosevelt admins
tration and the N. r. A. slave codes
The call, intended by the A. F. of l.
leadership to sound the keynote OF
the conference, distorts the original
resolution Of the painters local. II
asks Chicago workers to support the
entire Roosevelt strikebreaking ma
ehinery as embodied in the Wagner
Bill and all the wage cutting slave
codes of the N. r. A.
Whereas the painters resolution
called for continuation and extern
sion OF G. w. A. to provide jobs for
all unemployed workers in Chicago
the Federation call states: THE
government cannot forever continue
to absorb the whole burden OF
unemployment The National
Recovery Act was drawn with the
greatest good Of the greatest num-
bers in mind"

Cotton Crisis, Expert Reveals

The practical result of the reduc-

to cause more than a million and
a half more bales to be produced

Here at home, fore fertilizer is
being used per acre in the South
than ever before, and the effect
of the acreage production has
been merely to teach our farmers

Fight for Demands
Socialist Leaders End
Strike With Little Gains
to Workers
By ]. ]. SOLVENT

BRIDGEPORT. Conn, April "a
Three days after the city relief
workers, who he'd bean transferred
from the F.ER.A.. went out on strike
for equality with FER.A. workers.
they we're sent back to work by the
Socialist jack Bergin. who took the
leadership. winning only one part Of
their major demand and none Of
their other demands.
Eight hundred and fifty workers
had gone out on strike for cash re-
lief plus supplementary aid, free
transportation, compensation for in
iuries and no discrimination between
them and F.E.R.A. workers. A
peaceful policy" was pursued by
the leadership which included the
Socialist Commissioner of Education
and petty Democratic politicians.
holding their meetings in Beechwood
Park, which is located quite dis
lance from City Hall and the We'll
fare Building.
The strike was under the protec-
ton Of the Police Department and
the leaders received every courtesy
that the city officials could give
them. However. when it came to
granting the demands Of the work
ers, the City Relief Commission de-
cided that the workers would get
either so cents an hour for a "a
hour week in cash without any adj
ditional relief chat is food. cloth
ing, rent, fuel, medical attention,
etc. or the scrip system of $3.50 in
scrip and additional relief. The Joker
was that the cash relief would only
be temporary.
Jack Bergin advised the workers
to take the offer of the City Relief
Commission because the city had
no money and that it was up to
the State and Federal governments
TO provide relief for them.
When the Unemployed Councils
and the Communist Party tried to
warn the workers of the sell-out,
attempts were made to drive them
out Of the meeting by strong arm
squad which received its orders
from Bergin.
Leaflets were distributed amongst
the workers exposing the role Of
Jack Bergin and the Socialist lead
ers and urged the workers to con-
time their fight for their demands
and pledging the support Of the IN
employed Councils. When Bergin
saw the leaflets, he urged the work
ers not to read them and sent his
squad out to prevent the distribu-
ton and to take away the leaflets
from the workers. He continually
kept repeating keep the Commu-
nists out. Do not listen to them, $
and did all that he could to provoke
the workers TO attack those who
were distributing the leaflets,
When the workers learned Of the
sell-out they came and asked for
the leaflets. While they voted to
return to work under conditions laid
down by the City Relief Commission,
the struggle is not yet over. They
return to work with their eyes fully
open to the traitorous role played
by their so-called leader, Jack Ber-
gin, and plan to marshall TIC. Best
forces in their ranks for a renewed
fight for cash relief plus supple
mentary aid, together with all the
other demands.

District Convention
Officials Use Trickerv
To Block Rising
Opposition
By TONY MINERICH

PITTSBURGH, April "a
When the district convention
Of the United Mine Workers
Of America meets here early
in May the st1-ikebreaking
Lewis machine will face an OPP
position Of rank and file miners
elected in the mines.
This important convention takes
place as the new agreement signed
by the coal operators and the
union officials is being put inh
practice.
Scheming to block the resentment
Of the miners as they discover what
this new agreement means to them.
the Lewis officials are taking ac-
tive steps to pack the convention
with faithful Lewis men, who viii
attempt to steamroIl whatever op-
position will develop.
This is clearly revealed by the
way the convention was an
nounced. The officials have lust
sprung the announcement of the
conYentiOn-less than three weeks
before it is supposed To meet. The
U.M.W,A. constitution states that
every delegates's name must he
in the hands Of the District Sec
rotary five days before the Con-
vention. And this Is impossible
since the notice was sent out ~
late. This gives the Lewis ma
chine its opportunity to unseai
delegates or not tn print ths
names Of the delegates. permitting
all the Lewis men TO attend a.
delegates.
Miners Protest
In all sections Of the mine fields
the men are kicking against the
new agreement which, under the
cover OF seeming wage increa ses
actually leaves the vast ma joritv Of
miners worse off than before. and
whatever nominal increase is pro.
vided for, applies, in the first place
to only about 10 per cent Of tbs
miners. And even this turns OUT
to be meaningless in the light Of
other provisions in the agreement
which provide for increased rent
higher prices for powder. and so on
The UM.W.A. officials are gettins

No. 19 Deduction for Bad r Debts

Bad debts constitute a consider able item in the returns of many taxpayers and may be treated in one of two ways-either by deduc- ton from gross income in respect to debts ascertained to be worth less either in whole or in part or by a deduction of a reasonable ad- dition to reserve for bad debts. Taxpayers were given an option for 1921 to select either of the two methods. The method used in the return for 1921 must be used in returns for subsequent years un- less permission is granted by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to change to the other method. Application to change must be made at least 30 days prior to the close of the taxable year for which the change is to be effective. How ever, taxpayer filing a first re- turn in 1883 may select either of the two methods, subject to the ap- proval of the Commissioner upon

examination of the return. Per- mission to adopt the reserve meth cd is limited to taxpayers havcing a large number of accounts where credit is extended over a consid- erable period of time. It is not granted for the purpose of hand ling one specific debt.
 What constitutes a reasonable addition" to a reserve for bad debts must be determined in the light of the facts, and will vary as be- tween classes of business and with conditions of business prosperity A taxpayer using the reserve meth cd should show in his return the volume of charge sales Cor other business transactions) for the year and the percentage of reserve to such an amount, the total amount of notes and accounts receivable at the beginning and end of the taxable year, and the total amount of the debts ascertained to be worthless and charged against the reserve during the taxable year.

 Barring the possibility that they have worn each other bit thin ner in their gallup across coun- try and back, Big Bill Tilden and Ellsworth Vines figure to regain some tennis prestige for the U. S. A. when they take on the French pair, Henri Cochet and Martin Plaa. in series of international professional team matches.
 Tilden will take special delight in battering Cochet around on the indoor courts, where the American veteran will have the advantage of greater experience and more competition under his belt in preparation for the re- reWal of rivalry

TRADE WORRIES FOR PROFITS

Of course they are all jolly good fellows together now, these tennis professionals; all under con- tract with Tilden Tours, Inc. for the financial and artistic benefit of all concerned. It is a pleasant arrangement, with profits taking the place of high-pressure wor- ries of their amateur days, but there seems no doubt the com petitive rivalries remain-not en- tirely for the sake of the old bal lyhoo, either.
 I have no doubt, for instance that Tilden is personally just as eager now to take Cochet's meas ure as he was during their days of Davis cup rivalry, Big Bill may not quite work himself up to the high nervous tension of amateur days, nor worry unduly about the outcome, win or lose, but the urge to prove he is still the "old mas ter" remains strong.
 Tilden, in short, will be 'level- ling" every time he steps on the court opposite M Cochet. Indoors he should have the edge over the Frenchman, and he will make the most of this advantage. Cochet is the younger of the two but his game showed signs of slipping last season, whereas Tilden has taken on a new lease in his ten his life. It is possible Henri will find some stimulation during his American tour and do something again for the honor of La Belle France but I doubt his ability now to check either of the American professional aces.
