Force ShOpkeeper
to Serve Negroes
Needle Trades Workers
Smash Jim-Cr0w Action

NEW YORK.-When a shopkeeper
at 81 Sixth Ave. refused to sell a
package of cigarettes to a Negro
worker yesterday, white and Negro
members Of the Needle Trades Indus
trial Union Immediately organized a
protest against this Jim-Crow action
and forced the stationery store pro-
prietor to serve Negro workers.
The Negro worker who was refused
service had vigorously protested
when the shopkeeper refused to serve
him, while selling cigarettes to q
white worker who later entered the
shop. The proprietor then called q
policeman, who upheld his Jim-CroT
action, declaring he had a right to
decide to whom TO sell his wares.
But the workers thought otherwise,
and forced him to retreat from his
discriminatory position.
The shopkeeper, who is reported to
be a member Of the Socialist Party.
later told a member Of the Needle
Trades Union that he would not have
attempted to discriminate against the
Negro had he known he was mem
Der of the union. The white worker
retorted that the union fights against
all cases Of discrimination against
Negroes.

New Income Tax
Leaves Big Incomes
Same As Before
Slight r e ductions on
Smaller; Middle Get
New Burdens

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-ReviSion
in the income tax laws that are es-
tinated to bring an additional reve-
nue. Of $3.50, 100000 to the government
were voted by the House Ways and
Means Committee.
The additional revenue will be nee
esssry to take care Of the steadily
growing budget deficit resulting from
the rising expenditures for interest
on bonded debt, War Department,
etc.
Despite the exposures made at the
recent Senate investigation Of the
house Of j. P. Morgan, Kuhn, Loeb
and Dillon Read, etc, showing that
| the richest men in America do not
pay any income taxes at all, the pres
ent revised schedule does not include
any heavy levies on large incomes or
corporation SURPRISES.
Instead it provides for a slight re-
duction in some of the lower brack.
cts, which will be made up by heavier
taxes on the middle brackets.
From the changes ostensibly aimed
at preventing the repetition of the
j. P. Morgan evasions, only $4,000
900 of the S250,o0o,o00 will be COL
lected.
The rest will come from the pei
cent fiat rate on all incomes up tc
$4,000, and the surtaxes of the mid
die incomes.

Mendieta Threatens
to Outlaw Strikes
Plans New Attack on the
Cuban Workers

HAVANA, Jan. 28.-FoIowing con-
ferences with U. S. Ambassador JEFF
ferson Caffery, President Mendieta
was Saturday reported planning to
outlaw the strike struggles of Cuban
workers, following failure Of the new
government and u S. imperialists to
caJole striking workers back to work
without a settlement Of their de-
mands and grievances.
This new attack ON the working
class will take the form, it is re-
ported of a decree banning strikes
for 80 days. This would naturally
be a try-out, and if successful would
become permanent. The government
admits, however, that such a law
will be difficult to enforce because
of the miltancy of the strikes which
are under the leadership Of the
Cuban Communist Party and the
widespread disaffection among the
rank and file of the Cuban army,
especially Of the soldiers in the in
terror who have been openly frater-
nizing With the workers.
The men are also vigorously op-
posing reinstatement of the Mach
adist army officers who have been
released by the Mendieta government
in an attempt to strengthen its re-
dictionary base end re-establish iron
discipline in the army.

the resolution referred to the A. F.

De Priest Retreats
on JimCrOW Issue in
House Of Congress
Fails to Take Floor on
Discrimination in
Govt Restaurant

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. Con-
gresham oscar DePriest made an
agreement with Speaker Rainey
yesterday not to raise on the floor
Of Congress the question Of dis
elimination against Negroes by the
government restaurant in the cap
itol, which is operated by the Ac-
counts Committee Of Congress.
Five days ago, the millionaire Ne
gro Congressman had threatened to
offer a resolution from the floor
calling for investigation Of the dis
elimination policy of the Commit
tee. Fearful that even this reform
ist gesture Of a fight against dis
elimination would dramatic the
issue before the Negro and white
masses, Speaker Rainey at once
summoned DePriest before TIL e
House convened. what occurred
was kept a closed secret, but Repre-
sentative DePriest did not ask to
take the floor.
Meanwhile, Representative War
rem, Democrat of North Carolina,
and chairman Of the Accounts
Committee, announced that discri-
mination against Negroes will be
continued by the restaurant. He
declared that Negro employees il,
Congress must eat in the basement,
adding:
ut never came to my attention
until Monday that Negroes were
eating in the House Restaurant.
1t has been the rule ever since
/ have been member, that Ne
groes would not be served. / or
dered that the practice of serving
Negroes cease as soon as l dis
covered that ii was being DONE"
Congressman DePriest today ac-
companied his secretary to lunch il
the public restaurant at the Capito
which several days ago refused Il
serve his secretary and another Negro
companion. Both were served. DE-
Priests privilege" to eat in the res.
taurant as a member of Congress has
never been challenged.
