STOCK MARKET
BILL DELAYED
Conspiracy Hlnted as Fights
ImperlI Fate of
Measure.
By Lntted Prose

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Squab-
bling among members of the house
and senate committees considering
the stock market control bill today
imperiled the fate of that measure
and caused hints by it's sponsors
that a conspiracy existed to kill it.
If such a conspiracy exists it APP
peared to have accomplished the
purpose of delaying indefinitely a
report to either house of congress.
Consideration of margin pro-
visions, violently opposed by stock
exchange representatives, threw the
house committee into q deadlock,
1t was broken when Chairman Sam
Raburn of the house appointed a
subcommittee to work out sub
stitute for this section.
The bill now provides minimum
margin of so per cent for all but
volatile securities. Some mem
bers of the house committee favor
flat 33 13 per cent margin.
In the senate a committee meet
ing broke up after barely defeating
an amendment by Senator Thomas
P. Gore Dem, OklaD, to eliminate
the section announcing the con-
gressional policy to control Specu-
lation in the public interest.
While not involving a ma jor pro-
vision of the bill. this section was
CO. 7ored vital by those sponsoring
the bill.

CITY MAN SCRATCHES
ITCHING ANKLE AND
OPENS BLOOD VESSEL

Howard Taylor, 81, was sitting
comfortably on his front porch at
9o8 South Illinois street, enjoy
ing the balmy fragrance of the
early evening. With great salts
faction and muffled sigh of re-
lief, he took off his shoes and
propped them up against the rail-
ing, wiggling his toes facilely.
He felt mild prickling on his
left ankle. The more he thought
about it, the more it itched. He
reached down and began scratch
ing. half aware of the itching and
half aware that spring had re-
turned. So intense had become
his absent minded scratching that
suddenly he plopped his chair
firm on the porch and ran into
the house. He had broken a blood
vessel in his ankle with his too
earnest scratching. He was sent
to city hospital

Fight ImberialiSt War!

TWO classes marked the close of the
4 world war on Sunday. The capital
lists halted their preparations for the next
war for two minutes to mouth hypocriti-
cal homage to the workers who were
slaughtered in the last conflict for profits, and
utilized the occasion to whip up ngostic feelings.
Typical of the real attitude of the ruling class,
which was concealed in their orationS is the fol-
lowing dispatch from London contained in the New
York Herald Tribune:
Except for two minutes of silence in tribute to
Britains war dead on Armistce Day, the Sunday
shift at Vckers works at Crawford Kent worked all
day long making machine guns, rifles and gas-prO-
jecting machines" s-#.
Workers all over the world marked Armistice Day
in quite another fashion. In Ireland they demon
strated against British imperialism and oppression.
In Milwaukee workers demonstrated against the
glorihcation of war and war activities. And in
Paris the great united front of Socialists and Com
munists staged the greatest antiwar demonstration
since the armistce was signed.
The French workers in demonstrating against
war and fascism showed the American working
class the nature of the weapon that can defeat the
war aims of the capitalists The united front Of all
workers is the one barrier that can stop the war
drive of the ruling class.
The immnence of the war danger pierced
through all the hollow phrases about the need for
peace. At the ceremonies in Arlington Cemetery
the head Of the American Legion, Frank N. Bel
grano, called for "purgng" Of all 'isms" and
Strengthening of the gigantic war machine that has
been built up by the New Deal.
This attack against working class organizations
which are fighting the double menace of war and
fascsm was taken up by Harry A Woodring, the
Assistant Secretary of War; who denounced anti
war fighters as parasites" The official denunca-
ton is part of the administrations efforts to whip
up war spirit in the nation that will condone
spending billions for military purposes while mil
lions of unemployed are denied food and shelter.
The American capitalists preparing for an
other holocaust at the expense of the living stand
ards of the workers and their families, and even
tually of their lives. They building aerial bases
in the Aleutian islands off the Alaskan coast. The
fleet is concentrated in the Pacific in preparation
for 1935-"the critical year" The whole economy of
the country is being geared to the needs of the war
machine.
Every American worker owes it to his class and
his family to extend the fight against war and fas-
cism. In the spirit of the united front of the
French working class we must smash the aims
of the capitalists. We must mark the end of the
world war by intensifyng struggles against the
war-nongers and the corrupt and decaying CAPT
talist system that they are trying to keep from
falling to pieces by plunging into new and
more horrible slaughter.
