VIRGINIA SESSION
RUNS|NT0 SNAGS
Liquor Control Measure Be.
hind Schedule by Two
Weeks.
By q staf Correspondent Of The Star.

By STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.
RICHMOND. Va, February 1o.-A
much perplexed General Assembly
will reconvene at noon Monday and
attempt during the coming week to
work out some solution Of the many
difficult problems with which it is
faced.
The liquor control bill. almost two
weeks behind the original schedule,
is expected to appear on the floor OF
the Senate on Tuesday. and it is
hoped by leaders that it can be finally
disposed of during the week.
The Senate Finance Committee has
made q number of major changes in
the measure since its passage by the
House on February /, and If the Sen
ate itself should agreed to these
amendments, or to the more impor-
tant of them, House concurrence is
believed improbable. In this event it
will be necessary to send the bill to
a committee of conference, where it
might be held for days.
The two points which members now
believe will give the most trouble are
the amount of the salaries to be paid
the Control Board and the amount Of
the excise tax on beer. The House
lowered the salary scale from $500
to 5000, and the Senate Committee
has restored this. Also, the Senate
Committee lowered the excise tax
from $275 to 81 barrel and from
l cent to one-half cent bottle.
Many Houses members are adamant
in their stand on the salary question.
Delegate George w. Herring of Prince
William County being among these.
Delegates William D. Medley of Ar
ington County and John c. Mackall
of Fairfax County, however, favor the
higher salaries, claiming that a posi-
ton involving the handling of several
millions of dollars annually requires
the services Of better trained people
than can be obtained for the lower
salary.
The excise tax situation has become
somewhat involved.
Gov. George G. Peery is opposed to
Loudoun County, patron of the bill,
has also announced his opposition,
thus insuring a fight on this pro-
posal if it should be accepted by the
Senate.
Upon reconvening Monday, the
House Is faced with q second battle
on the Holt redistricting bill, which
passed the Senate with little opposi-
ton and then ran into difficulties In
the House on Friday when 1t failed
to get the four-fifths vote necessary
to reconsideration and its advocates
believe they can muster sufficient
strength to secure another vote and
pass the measure.

The Marine Strike and the Preparations for War

American capitalism knows, that the situation
preceding the next war is entirely different from
that Of the last war. The ruling class knows that
ever larger masses of American workers are learn
ing that the last imperiaist was not in their
interests They also know that the relationships
between classes in society today much different
from what they prior to and during the last
war
American capitalism knows that WIFE during
the last they had the unconditional support
of the whole A. F. of L., without any organized
and effective challenge of this betrayal by the
membership in the next war this situation may
loci different.
American capitalism knows that while during
the last war the Socialist Party the major
political organization of the American proletarat
whose leaders supported the war or took an atti
tude of benevolent neutrality and pacihsm, with
only scattered sections of the Party and not
yet consolidated left wing to challenge this betrayal
in the next war this situation will be different.
The ruling class is we'll aware of the existence
of a functioning Communist Party in America
which is already now leading and organizing the
American working class to fight the prepara
tons which has clear conception of what i'm
perialist is, and when the next war does take
place it will know how to organize the workers
to fight for their class interests against their own
bourgeoisie.
This is why the shipowners and the whole
American capitalist class are determined to break
the marine strike and the general strike in San
Francisco. This is why the wsr department and
the U. S. government as a whole are doing the
strikebreaking and numbering on the Pacific Coast.
The Pacific Coast strike involves the right of
all American workers to live, the right to organize
and to strike. The general strike is the mighty
answer of the American working class to the rulers
of this country that they refuse to starve, that
they will defend their trade unions and the right
to organize
The resistance of the capitalists to the efforts
of the workers to organize into genuine trade
unions, their attempts to deprive the workers of
the right to strike their campaign to destroy the
already existing trade union organizations, are all
integral parts Of the war plans and preparations
of the Roosevelt government An American working
class organized into trade unions in which the
treacherous A. F. of L. leaders are eliminated and
isolated and the control of the organization placed
in the hands of the rank and file membership
is the most powerful weapon in the struggle against
imperalist war. Because of this every American
working man and woman every sincere opponent
of war, must rally to the support of the general
strike.
