the practical men on his staff. Be-
yond any question, the hardest job
the Federal Administration ever
tackled is the task of raising the
farmers income without putting
an unbearable burden upon the
consumers of the farmers products.
Whether any of the methods so far
applied will work out in the long
run is still a disputed question.
Whether, indeed, any plan which
Government can administer will
have effect is beginning to be
doubted by some of the men who
were foremost in their advocacy of
some of the important agricultural
relief measures.

Buster Keaton and Jimmy Dur. ante have the stammering assist anee of Rosco Ates, in their new comedy, What! No Beer?" which shows at the Dream Theatre to night.
 In addition to Ates there is Phyllis Barry, who recently appear ed opposite Ronald Colman in "Cynara";; John Milan, Henry Ar. meta, Edward Brophy, Charles Dunbar and Charles Giblyn.
 Ates, despite his stuttering speech is a great help to Buster and "Schnozzola' in this comedy on the beer question. Buster and Jimmy run a brewery, and Ros co Ates is their chief brewmaster. Ates makes his beer so potent that police complications ensue and the whole pack of comedians is marched to jail.

tackled by five thugs following a
waterfront speech, Alex. Wright,
Communist candidate for United
States Senator, held his aSsailants
at bay with an axe-handle until
workers in the neighborhood came
to his rescue.
After his speech, Wright boarded
bus going from the waterfront to
the center of the city. The bus was
trailed by an automobile containing
six men, five of whom followed him
when he alighted. They cornered
him in narrow lane between two
houses on side street and attacked
him with clubs.
Wright, looking about for a
weapon of defense, seized an axe
and disabled one Of his assailants.
The head of the axe snapped and
Wright continued to WELD the
handle until workers, reused by the
battle, rushed to his defense. Ig-
noring his injuries, Wright made a
ten-minute campaign speech at the
scene of the battle and won pledges
of support in the election campaign.

LaGuardia Proposes a
Levy on PayrOlls
and Sales Tax

NEW YORK-The LaGuardia adj
ministration yesterday prepared
new taxation in the form of a sales
tax or a tax on every pay envelope
for the purpose of financing unem-
ployment relief.
Explaining that all available re-
lief funds would be exhausted by
the end of the month, LaGuardia
prepared to deliver a radio talk
tonight at which the tax plans, if
finally adopted, will be announced.
The enabling legislation. the Ross
Bill, by which the city is en-
powered to levy new tax imposts,
was signed yesterday by Governor
Lehman.
The rise in the cost of living,
Mayor LaGusrdia declared, was
causing the Welfare Department

the tremendous increase in the cost
Of living, LaGuardia stated that no
increase in relief budgets was plan
ned, declaring: THE allowance we
have now is admittedly minimum
allowance. Any sharp increase in
living costs would make it still less
adequate. But what we have to
worry about now is the constant
increase in applications for relief.
LaGuardia's relief conferences
which were held during June with
leading bankers and industrialistS
proposed tax on incomes, sales
tax, or a tax on subway, elevated

the city stop the payments to the

ing of relief, will meet at mass
conference at Stuyvesant Casino,

Strike Still On
In KnitgoOds
Under III
Left Wing Union Ends
WalkOut in SO Shops
with Pay Rise

NEW YORK.-Despite the fact
that David Dubinsky, president of
the International Ladies Garment
Workers, has been successful in
herding members of the I. L. G..
w. U. back to work under worse
conditions than before the knitgoods
strike began three weeks ago, the
struggle of the knitgoodS workers
continues in many shops in New
York under the leadership of the
Knitgoods workers Industrial
Union.
Dubinsky, aided by Mayor La
Guardia, the Regional Labor Board
and Raymond B. Ingersoll, Brook
Ign Borough President, was success
full in dividing the ranks of the
workers and settling the strike for
at least part of the workers on the
basis of the 36-hour week with no
increases in wages. The workers had
previously worked 371z hours a
week and Dubinskys settlement
was therefore an agreement for a
UlTeCJ cut IN wages.
The Knitgoods Workers Industrial
Union, however, which put forward
the demand for the IS hour week
and corresponding increases in
WAGES. has already settled so shops
on this basis, all the shops settled
winning pay increases from 5 to 10
dollars and getting two legal holi-
days per year with pay. All sug-
gestions made by the Industrial
Union that the I. L. G.. w. U. and

for one set of demands were turned
down by leaders of the A. F. of L.

strike and eight have settled, win
ming increases.
Picketing was continued yesterday
by I. l.. G. w. U. members at the
Star SportSwear Corporation, 568
Broadway. This shop was closed by
the owners after mass pressure of
New York Labor had forced Mayor
LaGuardia to- retract, at least
verbally. the anti-picket edict of the
Police Department.
Owners of the Sportswear shop
had established a company union
headed by Emil Kalaf. In fact, lead
ers of the /. L. G. w. U. blazed the
way for the company union after
they organized the shop year ago.
Workers became demoralized and
disguised with the I. L. G.. w. U.
leaders policy of collecting dues
and doing nothing to better the con-
ditions. In the midst of this de-
moralization the company union
sprung up.
The company has temporary in

company union has been promised

TRADE UNIONS
ARE CANVASSED
ON WAR STAND
League Against Fascism
and War Sends Out
QuestiOnnaires

NEW YORK. - Taking another
step to broaden the fight against
the danger of a new war and the
development Of fascist tendencies in
the country, a national poll Of
trade union members on their at
titUde towards a new world conflict
is being conducted by the National
Trade Union Section of the Amer
lean League Against War and
Fa5cism.
Would you join in a nation wide
protest to prevent the United States
from taking part in another ware"
is the first question asked of the
unionists. Would you unite in re-
fusing to transport munitions or
other war supplies in the event of
a WARP" is the second query.
Obviously recalling the fate of the
trade unions under Mussolini, Hit
Ter and Dollfuss, the last question
asks: Would you join in nation
wide protest to prevent the forma-
ton of fascist government in the
united states similar 10 the pres
ent governments of Germany, Aus
tria and Italy?"
The present voting campaign of
the American League against War
and Fascism, it is pointed out, is
similar to the recent QUESTIONABLE
sent out to q number of trade
llnjOn lea derS and inteIIectualS in
Great Britain England by the Brit
ish Labor Monthly.
The American League Against
