SALES TAX DEFEATED AGAIN.

In rejecting the proposal for a ~$400,O00,0O0
sales tax the Ways and Means Committee of the
Federal House of Representatives reflected the
view OF the great masses Of the American people.
The American Federation of Labor, represent
ing millions of workers and all persons receiv-
ing modest incomes has fought the sales tax as a
policy Of raising revenue for the Government
from the very inception of the propaganda
launched by the wealthy in favor of it.
The scheme is an open and unpatriotic attempt
to shift taxation from the rich and well-to-do,
who are able to pay it without the sacrifice of
any useful element in their lives, to the masses
of the people who are least able to bear the tax
burden and whose living standards are necessar-
lily reduced by every dollar extorted from them
by tax collectors.
The sales tax is also reprehensible because it
is a concealed tax. 1t is collected from every
purchaser of an article, but the tax is not re-
vealed so that consumers can see and understand
the amount they are called upon to pay.
Frequently sales tax advocates throw a sop to
working men and women and all other small-in-
come groups by exempting the necessaries of

EAGLE OR HOMING PIGEON.

From the looks OF some OF Buttes' Business
houses, since January LIST, we wonder whether
or not the Blue Eagle so nobly displayed in their
windows was really an Eagle or a Homing Pig
con that merely spent a three months vacation
in our midst. The signatures to the Presidents
Unemployment Agreement were void after that
date and to keep the Eagle firms had to resign
the agreement or take down the Eagle. The
Compliance Board states that many houses at
first flying the Eagle no longer display that en-
blem. The Local Board asks that all such firms
be reported to the local office for investigation.
Firms who have failed to resign the agree
ment, pending the adoption OF a permanent code
for their industry, no doubt fails to sign, hoping
that the public will not notice the absence of
the Eagle now that the first wave of enthusiasm
has died down. Such places of business are the
worst of chiselers. 1t is reported that one such
industry has failed to sign. That industry has
presented such an atrocious code that even the
broad-minded General Johnson couldn't 0. K. it.
The Butte public must be on the alert and re-
port all places that have taken down the Eagle.
Do it for your protection. On the first page you
will find the request Of the Local Compliance
Board. The Daily press was asked to print the
request and did so only after ce%nsoring the scored
portion, asking the public to report violations.
When one reads the child-labor exploiting code
OF the Newspaper Industry one can understand
the lukewarmness of the press in aiding the
fight for the enforcement of codes.
The Blue Eagle should be a non-migratory
bird, in Butte, and not a pigeon that goes home
to roost after a few months of public exhibition.
Mr.. and Mrs. Worker, it is to your advantage to
see that the Eagle is displayed in every business
house in Butte. Mr.. and Mrs. Consumer, the
Blue Eagle means that the higher prices you
now pay go where they should, into payrolls in
stead of profits.

MRS. ROOSEVELT o r

The public school authorities of the District Of
Columbia were administered a just rebuke by
Mrs. Roosevelt in connection with the Inaugural
ton of free lunches for over 1000 school chill
dren whose parents were unable to provide them
with food.
When the lunch system was opened, the event
was celebrated with appropriate .eclat. The
First Lady was invited to attend the ceremony
and eat one of the lunches, which included milk
and fruit. Later a rumor reached her that the
lunch, which she had pronounced good, was a
phoney lunch prepared especially for the occa-
sion and not a sample of the real lunches given
the children. The First Lady determined to find
out the truth by a personal visit, without the
knowledge of the authorities, to one of the
schools at lunch time and eat an actual free
lunch.
The First Lady was surprised. The lunch
consisted of clam chowder. No fruit. No milk.
OF course Mrs. Roosevelt condemned this parsi-
mony, which proper medical authorities declare
is not conducive to the children's health. The
school officials Immediately got busy and made
arrangements to include fruit and milk in the
free lunches. They will probably serve no more
phony lunches to the First Lady.

FOUR BACKWARD STATES.

At its first convention, in 1881, the American
Federation of Labor demanded ~stricter laws
making employers liable for all accidents to en-
ployes resulting from employer negligence or
incompetency. Later the A. F. Of L. demanded
radical modification OF the unjust bar to recov-
cry of damages based on the legalistic and ju-
dicial fellow servant doctrine, and its accom-
panying waiver of rights, assumption of risk,
and contributory negligence, all OF which were
clever schemes devised to relieve employers from
financial obligation toward injured employees.
AS a result of organized labor's efforts, the
State of Washington, in 1911, enacted the first
adequate compensation law. Other states have
followed the example set by Washington until
now forty-four states and the District of Column
bia have compensation legislation.
The justice Of workmen's compensation is gen
orally admitted. 1t is therefore regrettable that
the legislatures of four states still refuse this
meager equity to the workers who are the vic
Tins of accidents, often fatal, while engaged in
the production Of commodities and the perform
ance of services solely for the private profit OF
their employers. Nevertheless, this basic right
is still denied working men and women and their
dependents in Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi and
South Carolina.
Organized labor in these States have persist
emily fought for the enactment of appropriate
workmen's compensation laws. But the indus
trial and Legislative bourbons who dominate the
legislatures have succeeded in blocking the pro-
posal. Usually the outstanding persons opposing
this legislation are those who have persistently
fought adequate child labor laws and refused to
recognize the right of their employees to organ
ize in effective trade unions for the purpose of
collective bargaining in the adjustment of wages
and hours and other working conditions.
The political and industrial leaders in these
four backward states should cease their opposi-
ton to adequate protection for injured workers
and their families and promptly enact up-to-date
workmen's compensation laws. By so doing they
will get more in touch with the general spirit
underlying the Presidents Recovery Program.

life from their reactionary proposal. This is an
attempt to deceive the masses. If the sales tax
limited should become a law, the wealthy and
their propagandists would Immediately endeayor
to have the limitations removed and extend the
scheme to cover sales of all articles, including
products necessary to sustain life.
The American Federation of Labor congratu-
lates the members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee for their refusal to adopt a system Of tax
alton which is nothing but an instrument to
soak the poor"

DILLINCER PLAN
FAILED TO WORK
Gangsters Were to Dress
as Guardmen and Free
Three Prisoners

Indianapolis, Ind, Mar. 28-(U
PA frustrated plan of John
Dillinger to free tire members of
his gang from the Lima, o., Jail
by Disgusting gangsters as national
guardsmen was revealed today by
Capt. Matt Leach of the Indiana
state police.
The three men whom Dillinger
planned to liberate are Charles
Makley, Russell Clark and Harry
victed at Lima on charges of kill
ing Sheriff Jesse Sarber.
From information which came
to us, we have learned that Dill
linger actually made an effort to
free the three men," Leach said.
1.-THE plan called for eight gang
sters dressed in army uniforms to
pose as Ohio national guardsmen.
another gangster was to dress
as a lieutenant. The plans were to
have the gangsters enter Lima at
night and hide in town until just
ebfore court adjourned in the af-
ternoon. Then they were to present
fake credentials purported to have
been signed by the Ohio governor
and asking for custody of the
prisoners on the pretext that they
were to move them temporarily be-
cause of raid scare.
"Df1linger did not go to Lima
himself but sent John Hamilton
and Joe Burns, two of his hench-
men, there. They reported the
plan was impractical"
Leach said the scheme failed
because of the tip he received and
passed on to General Bush, in
command of guardsmn protecting
the Jail and because Dillinger
could not muster enough men to
carry the plan through.

The outcome of the senate vote
was doubtful. Administration lead

the vote would be close. In the
background were the powerful
veterans lobby which had made a
rapid comeback from the smashing

The stampede which over

JUDGE FINN WAS
UPHELD in AUTO
CASE. DECISION
Auto Had Changed Hands
Many Times But First
Owner Lost

There was no error in the de-
cision of Judge Edward J. Finn,
who found for the defendants in
the replevin action brought before
him in the common pleas court
concerning an automobile that had
been confiscated by Federal Pro-
hibition agents, according to an
opinion of the supreme court of
errors handed down today. Assoc
ciate Justice John Banks wrote
the high court decision with the
other justices concurring.
The action brought before Judge
Finn was that of Allan P. Walcott
against James Fallon, Jr. and John
A. Membrino. Walcott attempted
to regain possession of a Packard
automobile which he originally
owned. He sold it to one Archie
Boisvert, accepting "a notes of $50
each, payable at one month inter-
walls. The deal was negotiated
April %, 1881.
In September of that year the
car was seized by United States Of
ficials in Vermont and forfeited
for illegally transporting liquor
The plaintiff learned of the seizure
the next month and engaged At
torney Sylvester to procure its re-
turn. Walcott was informed the
car would be secured for the pay
ment of $275 and costs of $23.35.
The plaintiff did not know the con-
dition of the car or whether IT
would pay him to recover 1t and
made no effort to ascertain, the
finding states.
The defendant, Attorney Mem
brine was told by Attorney Sylves-
\ ter that the plaintiff, Walcott. did
not intend to redeem the car ana
Attorney Membrino informed wal
colt that he himself was going TO
attempt to purchase it. Attorney
Membrino purchased the machine
\ March IL, 1882, through Attorney
/ Sylvester.
Ii Later, Attorney Membrino sold
the car to Deconick in Waterbury.
and Deconinck in turn sold 1t to
4 the other defendant, Fallon. In
May Of 1882, Walcott saw his car
on North Main street and learned
for the first time that it had been
redeemed by Attorney Sylvester.
A He then brought the replevin ac-

had abandoned the car to the U. s.

COMPLETE STORY
OF THAT MURDER
DONE ON LINER
Religion Was the Cause of
It-Strange Tale Told
By Purser ,.

New York, March 28-(UP) -
Willard s. Frost. 26-year-old as
sistant purser of the liner Presiden
| Garfield, today told a wrapt cour
room the complete story of the
struggle between Arthur D. Kirwan
son of the celebrated Nine Jear
Nash Dubonnet, and Gillian Ses.
SONS which resulted in the latter's
death.
The young defendant and his
mother sat very still and listened
intently. Frost told of a drinking
party aboard ship that led to an ar
gument over religion during which
Kirwan allegedly stabbed Seasons
and cut Frost.
Frost and Kirwin struck up an
acquaintance after the liner left
Marseilles, France, the witness said.
AS the ship neared New York after
calling at Panama, they decided on
a drinking party. They split the
cost of a bottle of gin, and held the
party on Feb. 10, in Kirwan's cab
in. he said.
After drinks, Kirwan invited
Seasons, whose cabin was adjacent,
to join them, the witness testified.
Seasons added half bottle Of gin
to his own and the men alternated
between the two cabins as they
continued drinking. The CONVERSE
ton was entirely friendly, Frost
said.
Then the conversation turned to
religion.
I'm a Roman Catholic" Frost
quoted Kirwan as saying. "We'll
go to some Catholic church in New
York"
mo" Seasons replied, accord
ing to Frost's testimony, I'm a
32nd degree Mason"
Pm a good Catholic" Kirwan re-
joined, but I'll go to your church.
