ment of the Workers Unemployment
Insurance Bill.
In formulating these demands,
the following facts were kept in
mind:
1. In 1888. the latest year for
which full figures were available,
the. total indebtedness of Cleveland,
Cuyahoga County and all other
Ohio governments amounted to
1851 ,891 900. On this debt, the gov
eminent paid to the bankers $685.
7o6,5S0 in principal and $4,000, 300
in interest, making a total payment
to the banks on indebtedness of
S124,747,380. Suspension of these
payments alone would more than
meet the emergency and provide for
relief needs.
2, The present utilities excise tax
is 1.35 per cent. In demanding the
TRIPPING of the public utilities tax,
the Party calls for absolutely no ex-
emptions on any part of utilities,
capital or profit.
8. In 1888, inheritance taxes
brought in $1.751 900. This rate
could be easily doubled.
f. Federal income tax rates
ranged only from 239 per cent for
incomes from $1,000 to $4,000 to SO
per cent for incomes over $3.50 900
On the basis of official MIRA. esti-
mates of the national income OF
July and August, 1894. which were
practically on level with the av-
erage income throughout 1881, we
can safely take the 1881 income tar
collections as a basis for estimating
the return that could be secured by
the state Of Ohio on 1884 incomes
On the basis Of this, the state could
raise S21,819, 900 for 1885.

Tribute to Trachtenberg

Stachel paid glowing tribute in his
speech to Alexander Trachtenberg,
head of International Publishers, as
the person through whose efforts
the publishing house has become an
important force in the production
and distribution of revolutionary
literature.
Trachtenberg, widely known as a
Marxist-Leninist authority, spoke
briefly of the efforts for accurate
and complete translations of the
works Of Marx and Engels which
were begun by Lenin's exposures of
distortions at the hands of Social
Democratic editors and translators.
He gave examples of the distor-
tions and outlined the efforts of In
ternational Publishers to present the
complete and accurate texts to
American workers.
He told the meeting that in its
ten years, International Publishers
has increased its volume of produc-
ton 700 per cent. In the crisis
year of 1929, $4,000 pieces of Itera-
ture was issued, while in the first
ten months of 1884, international
Publishers brought out $4,000 books
and pamphlets.
"The publication of 100000 copies
of Foundations of Leninism' by
Joseph Stain, was a big job," he
said, "but its only beginning. We
look forward to editions of revolu-
tionary classics of million"
Hathaway Presides
Clarence Hathaway, editor of the
Daily Worker, who was chairman,
opened the meeting with an ex-
PLANTATION of the part played by In
ternational Publishers as the chief
source of the literature necessary
to the labor movement. Choosing for
his subject proletarian dictatorship
as taught by Marx and Lenin, Hath
away spoke of the example set for
workers the world over by the peo-
pies of the Soviet Union, and made
reference to the execution of the Sc
! WLllUC 6uc1Q UCllO1lOg dUOlS
who were recently executed.
Let me tell you," he said, "that as
] Communists and as workers you
have no apologies to make for the
executions. 1t is the job of the
working class to take and hold pol
itical power against it's class
enemies.
! IF necessary, the workers of the
i Soviet Union will answer again,
with the same decisive blows, the
threats of the counter-revolutionary
agents of Imperialism. who seek to
endanger the building of Socialism.
The executions were blow struck
in warning to all the imperialist
enemies and counter-revolution
enemies of the Soviet Union in
terms which the bourgeoisie of the
world can understand"
Charles Krumbein, District Or
ganizer of the Communist Party
stressed the role of the Communist
Party in all of the struggles of the
workers.
THE Communist Party" he said,
must be the sum total of all the
organizations of the working class
by the fact that its members are
active integral parts of all working
class organizations.
Blasts Misleaders
Krumbein energetically and real
istically blasted the claims Of any
political group save the Communist
Party to claims of working class
leadership.
He reminded every individual
member of the Party that I'VE are
the general staff of the working
class in the class struggle" Speak

However, he failed to even at
tempt to explain away his Coop
Grafton with General Johnson, the
administration leader who gave the
signal for the vigilante attacks.
In trying to get Green to go on
record in some way for an outright
attack on the Communist Party,
Mccormack tried to get around the
committees failure to invite a rep
resentative Of the Communist Party.
He declared: "It is well known that
the Communists frankly admit that
their ultimate objective is the over
throw of the government. The
necessity Of obtaining evidence as
to that is removed for there are
published documents showing that.
i. However, assuming an organized
minority operates within the law,
have you any opinion on the right
Of an organized minority (the C. P)
to accomplish its objective outside
the law?"
Il must repeat the difficulty of
meeting such an organization as
the Communist Party by imposing
legislation restricting the rights of
freedom of speech and press in a
democracy" Green replied in char
acteristic demagogic form. I'm a
democracy you have great diff
culties," he added. "At the moment
I can't see how we can accomplish
our purpose by legislation"
Mccormack interrupted: at
seems to me that if we are agreed
that they are operating without the
pale of the law, we are supporting
defeatism by doing nothing.
What would be your reaction to
reviving the appropriations for the
Department of Justice making an
investigation of the Communists as
they did during the warp"
There's difference between war
and peace" replied Green.
1--WE never been much in favor
of giving the government power to
conduct undercover activities.
After all, in a republic there is no
power like public opinion. If
public opinion veers toward Com
munism you can't stop it,"
Whitewashes Murders
Asked whether there is "any
doubt" that the Communists were
responsible for the idea" of the
West Coast strike, Green replied
that the Communists were respon-
sible. He also whitewashed the
murder of the striking longshore-
men by troops and thugs. 1.-The
shooting down OF some men," he
said, appealed to the passions of
the men. There's no doubt that
the idea was to turn the general
strike into a revolution. Gen
eral strikes always accompany
revolution. :"
zone of the methods of over
throwing the government is by the
general strike" Mccormack chimed
in.
Eyes, the general strike will al
ways accompany the attempt to
overthrow the government" con-
tinued Green. But I want to
qualify that by saying that I can
conceive of a time when the gen.
eral strike would be justified :.
in an extreme case. But there is a
difference between a general strike
of Communists and bona fide trade
unionists. When we get strike
settlement, we're through. :"
"But they're (Communists) never
through" Hardwick interjected.
That's right" Green declared.
In fact, Green told the commit
tee, sit was the Communist agita-
ton in Germany that led to Nazi-
ism. And the same thing in italy"

BILBAO, Dec. 17.-Martial terror

In Vigo the Civil Guards with

though the election votes have not
yet been completely counted. Last
year the Communist candidates al

Many Socialist voters refused to

the appeal of the Young Socialists

the Communist candidates as the

workers.

POLARITES B ALASKANS g IN
 BASKET BALL

The basketba all , game last night between the Alaskans and the Pol arites proved to be good clean, fast exciting game of ball. A large attendance filled the seating capac- ity along the four sides of the play ing floor, at the native school gym naSium.
 The game started fast with the Alaskans taking good lead in the first quarter and retaining it for most of the half. The Polarites evened the score near the end of the first half and when the whistle blew were two points ahead
 With the beginning of the second half both teams played harder, faster and much more expert ball. The Polarites gradually drew away in the lead from the Alaskans and were never headed during the re- mainder of the game. The final score was B to 9 in favor of the Polarites.
 The proceeds of the game go as a direct contribution to the Commun- ity Xmas Tree Fund. According to all estimates about seventy-five to eighty dollars were taken in both from the sale of tickets and admis- sions at the door last night The apparent enthusiasm displayed by the public in attending the game leads to the belief that in the fu- ture perhaps several more games may be arranged and some good basketball talent developed. There are several teams in town who are playing basketball merely for ex- ercise and enjoyment, and they may issue challenges, according to the re ports, for series of games, probab- ly some time after the first of the year.
 Last nights game was the first basketball game played in Nome since last spring. Before the fire most of the games were either play ed in the Eagle or A. B. Hall, but since then, the native school gym nasium of the Office of Indian Af4 fairs has been used for athletic act ivities.
