DETROIT, Mich. July 10.-More
than 400 workers were on the mass
picket line at the Burroughs ADD
ing Machine Company plant yester-
Gay with the Auto Workers Union
and the Communist Party particle
pating.
AS the line grew, numbers of po-
lice began driving and clubbing the
workers, directing their main at
tacks on the Auto Workers Union
line. The workers retreated, re-
formed their groups and returned to
the picket line. Police threatened
Anderson, militant leader of the
Mechanics Educational Society, but
he refused to leave the picket line
and he was not arrested.
The Auto Workers Union has
been informed that the Burroughs
strike committee met today and de-
cided that no banners are to be
carried on future picket lines other
than the M. E. S. A. sign. This
decision is directed against the Auto
Workers Union banner which reads,
THE Auto Worl; ors Union Supports
the Burroughs Strikers"
Under the influence of officials
the strike cocmittee ruled against
enlarging the strike committee with
representatives of cooperating or
ganizations, which would have CO.
ordinated action and made unified
picketing more effective.
The Auto Workers Union and the
Communist Party proposed to a DEL
egation from the strike committee
yesterday to set UP a co-o-dilating
committee to achieve unity and the
delegation stated they will consider
the question.

and auto workers. Ask the textile
and railroad workers.
But above all ask the unem-
ployed, and the workers on the F.
E. r. A. jobs. Is the mass dis
content in the country the product
only of Communist propaganda
and of agitators? This propaganda
would not fall on such fertile soil
were the economic conditions not
so unbearable. The workers cannot
live in the present situation and
are showing more and more de-
terIninedly that they will not ac-
cept these conditions. No fascist
terror Of the government and Of
fascist gangs will keep them from
fighting against the conditions.
What has Roosevelt actually
done for the unemployed? Five
hundred millions dollars last year
was expended for relief. This year
Congress appropriated s950,0oO,00
for relief from June 80 to Jan. 7.
This fund is left at the discretion
Of the President" The result is
that relief is being cut down in
all parts of the country. Hun
dreds of thousands are being re-
moved from the relief rolls, which,
with the return of prosperity .
contained a larger number of
names than at any time in the
history of the country. There are
more applicants for relief than
ever before.
How can they cut down the re-
lief in Covington, Kentucky, where
family of seven gets 81 every two
weeks? How can they cut down
relief for Negroes, who represent
the biggest body of unemployed
and in the majority of cases get
no relief? How can they cut down
on young and single workers who
are denied relief?

INEQUALITIES IN
WAR PAYMENTS
Unframed Veterans Draw
500 to $50 Monthly
for Widows.

Pensions ranging as high as 500
q month are paid to men unframed
by war service" Dorothy Dunbar
bromley says in the current issue Of
To-Day. edited by Raymond Moley,
former brain trust leader.
The article continues: only $50
month is paid to widows of men
who were killed in service and $40
to dependent mothers. The Presi-
dents new deal in veterans bene-
flts-abrogating the legislative hand
outs of 1917, 1925 and 1880, was not
to go unchallenged by the congress
that did his will in a moment of
national crisis. In June, 1888, con-
gress forced him to whittle down
the economy cut in service connect
ed pensions; to restore to the rolls
29,500 of the nonservice- connected
cases who we're totally disabled, and
to submit the presumptive cases to
local special boards of review.
There were five members on each
board, including doctor and one
other official from the veterans bu-
reau. The outstanding citizens who
made up the majority were mostly
eX-service men, good number of
them being members of the Ameri-
can Legion, the Disabled American
Veterans. or the Veterans of For
eign Wars, organizations that have
consistently resisted cuts in veter-
ans benefits.
"A relatively smaller number were
members of the American Veterans
Association, the only service mems
group that has stood out against
wholesale benefits to veterans. The
1913 boards, scattered throughout the
country, reviewed, all told, 51,123
cases. (For some reason which the
veterans bureau has not explained,
the remainder of the $4,000 pre-
sumptiVe cases were not turned over
to the boards)
"A few boards struck from the
rolls as many as rs per cent of the
claimants, and others ranged as
low as Is per cent. depending upon
the type of cases that came before
them, and their own attitudes. In
the end, $4,000 veterans, or 81 per
cent of those whose cases had been
reviewed, were removed from the
pension rolls as ineligible under the
economy act.
Under pressure, however, all of
these $4,000 veterans have had their
names reinstated, largely for poll
tical reasons. The American Vet
Grams Association, which vigorously
is opposing pension scandals, in
paid advertisement in the same
issue of Today calls attention to
the fact that dead men cast no
votes
This veterans organization also
points out in its advertisement that
the American Legion has publicly
advertised that LegionaireS earn
double the average income. Le-
gionaires have proved that they are
insurance minded-94 per cent of
them were insured for an average
amount of S12,050; 81 per cent of
them own automobiles

GREAT BRITAIN
 GIVES PRAISE TO
 THE PRESIDENT
Startled By Magnitude of Figures = BritOns Like
 His Great Courage

London, Jan 5-(UP)-Startled by the magnitude of figures in President Roosevelt's budget, Brit ons nevertheless praised unstint. ingly today his courage in present- ing it.
 Opinion here was reflected else. where in Europe. In search for comparisons, one commentator brought in the gigantic Russian five year plan. A tendency to go back to the World war for comparative figures was general.
 Through the aura of praise that surrounded comments on the per. sonal aspect of the budget message to congress, there could be detected 8 revival of the criticisms of the re- covery program in general as re. gards it's ultimate effects. But as on the occasion of the presidents message of Wednesday, admiration of his own attitude was frankly ex- pressed.
 Today's morning newspapers ran the scale of general opinion.
 ''If there is anything more i'm. pressive than the United States de- ficit," said the Independent-Con- servative Daily Mail, Ut is the equanimity and courage with which Mir Roosevelt is facing it. He Is marching on the road toward the new deal with a vengeance-but aI- ways with an eye to the future"
 "The whole recovery program is a gallant defiance of orthodoxy" said the conservative Daily Tele- graph. However. obviously the poe sition is one of immense gravity. MT Roosevelt is heading the nation in a desperate fight for economic self preservation which all are fac. ing unshaken."

 Clement said Madison Square Garden officials had promised Shucco title bouts with Rosenbloom as result of the Boston fighter $ victories over Billy Jones in New York and Lou Brouillard in Bos- ton. but that Rosenbloom walked out in each case.

PHILIP PHILBIN
 IS UNDER ARREST
Man Who Manipulated the Atlas Tack Corp Pleads
 Not Guilty

New York, Jan. 5.-UP.- Philip Fl. Philbin, Jr., who took control of the Atlas Tack corpora ton chiefly by open market oper- ations. today was arrested charged with a misdemeanor for allegedly failing to answer questions in con- nection with investigation in Atlas stock operations.
 Philbin, who came here from Colorado with sufficient capital to start operations which eventually gave him control of the New Eng land tack making and bottled cap manufacturing company, had been served with a subpoena in connec- tion with investigation being con- ducted by Assistant Attorney Gen eral Ambrose V. Mccall.
 Mccall made the complaint against Philbin claiming Philbin had been reluctant and unwilling to disclose for what purpose cer- tain large checks were drawn against the Philip II. Philbin. Jr.. Inc, and payable to himself. Me- Call interpreted Philbin's action as refusal to talk.
 According to testimony brought out III the lHquiIy HllpiH HoI olilS obtained control of the company, but in market operations ran his paper profits in the company's stock to more than $600,o00.
 Investigation was started after the company's stock had reached a 1893 high level of around $S5 a share and then in these subse- quent sessions lost about $25 a share.

 high as $550,00000O. Passage came after four hours of heated debate yesterday over 1 taxes, and several hours of consid.
 eration of amendments today. | House ways and means committee
 members who drafted the measure predicted the taxes would bring in | the maximum amount of revenue and at the same time bring to Q gradual end the bootlegging induss 1 try.
 Amendments to increase the tax | to $4, to lower it to $1.50 and to ! place graduated higher taves on blended whiskies were defeated. A proposal to share 25 per cent of liquor revenues with wet states
 was ruled out of order.
 The speed with which the house
 was working indicated probable
 passage of the $550.000,000 rev- enhe bill before adjournment. The $2 tax on the basis of ways
 and means committee estimates
 would yield the government $300.. 000,000 annually. The present ex-
 else tax is $1.10.
 The house defeated 75 to 136,
 after aroused debate over French war debt defaults, an amendment to the liquor tax bill which would have placed a virtual embargo on imported champagnes. The house then began considera- tion of the wine tax sections of the bill.

 duced an amendment to increase
