GAG RULE KILLS
NEW CENSUS

The House gag rule recoiled
violently on the Democratic ma
jority yesterday and brought de-
feat to the Lozier bill, authorizing
a national census this fall in the
interest of recovery.
The measure. denounced by Re-
publicans as Democratic political
jobbery, was called up under Sus-
pension of rule and lost, 226 to
1913, less than the required two
thirds.
Representative Lozier CD, of
Missouri. author of the bill, eX-
planned it would cost the Govern
ment nothing in addition to
funds already appropriated and
would put 10000 men to work
for a period of four weeks in No
vember.
Opponents, led by Representative
Hess CRY, of Ohio. charged that
the census would actually cost
$10,00O,OOO and that it was de-
signed merely to give jobs to
Democrats during the critical
election period.

PROBE FOR NEW
TAX DODGERS
APPROVED
By International News Service

BY International News Service
Another tax revision bill in the
next session of Congress appeared
likely today after leaders of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee had approved a new study Of
tax laws.
Chairman Doughton CD OF
North Carolina, of the Ways and
Means Committee, denied knowl-
edge of any Administration move
for higher taxes.
The immediate purpose Of the
proposed inquiry is to keep up
with clever tax dodgers.
While Congress revised the in
come tax laws to halt evasions,
members expected new methods
Of escaping taxes to be developed.
Representative Samuel B. Hill
CD of Washington, chairman Of
the Ways and Means subcommit-
tee which originated the revision
approved this year, declared:
eve propose to study the
cases before the Internal Rev.
enue Bureau to see how the
new law is working out and to
determine whether other
changes are necessary. 1t may
be necessary to make an ad-
.ministrative revision next winter,
but doubt whether more than
that will be DONE"
Secretary OF the Treasury Nor
genthau, earlier in the session,
told the committee his experts
would study tax law revision, es-
pecially coordination of Federal
and State laws.
When the liquor tax bill was
first proposed, the officials Sug-
gested division of taxes between
the Federal Government and the
States. The same proposal has
been suggested for other taxes.

SLAYER Of BOY
FACES ACTION
BYGRANDJURY

PHILIPPI, w. Va, June 6
'U.N.S0 .-Within 10 hours after
Lawrence Carroll, 80, confessed
that he killed Dale James, Is,
and then hid the boys body in a
small cave high in the hill coun-
try of West Virginia, county
authorities today announced
plans for summoning of a grand
jury to indict him.
Carroll, former inmate Of the
Weston State Hospital for the in
sane and "odd-jobs man" of the
town, broke down after an all
night grilling and admitted, &C
cording to state troopers, that
he had killed the James boy be-
cause the latter refused to steal
wine for him.
Accident, He Says
The killing, according to the
confession, was accidental and
occurred a week ago Sunday.
Carroll asked the boy to go and
get him some more liquor. accord
ing to his confession. The boy re-
fused and struck at him.
Carroll returned the blow and
the boy fell, striking his head on
rock. Believing he had killed the
youth, Carroll dragged the uncon-
SciouS form to a nearby cave,
hurled it in and covered it with
dirt and rocks.
Boy Buried Alive
Doctors later said the boy was
alive when thrown into the cave
and that he was smothered to
death.
Police are still holding Gordon
Blake, taken into custody with
Carroll, despite the confession
which cleared him. Blake, police
said, was seen with Carroll and
the boy close to the place where
the body was found on the Sum
day night the boy disappeared.
Carroll was released from the
Insane asylum four years ago.

RETAIL LIQUOR
CODE ASKED
Of FACA
BY ROBERT s. THORNBURGH
BY International News Service

Widespread demand for a code
to govern the retail liquor business
has reached the Federal Alcohol
Control Administration.
Faced with damaging competi-
ton from bootleggers. the retail
ers believe this problem might be
met or at least mitigated if code
authority were set up.
Leading retailers today saw the
possibility of placing competition
on an equitable basis, elimination
of unethical practices and other
developments that would put the
business on Sounder basis.
The FACA is understood to be
favorable to the plan and will CO.
operate if formal action IS taken
by the retailers.
The code authority probably
also would have jurisdiction over
the State liquor monopolies which
exist in Pennsylvania, Virginia,
Ohio, Iowa, Michigan, Oregon and
Montana. Reports indicated that
the monopolieS under present reg.
ulationS are not entirely a success
in some States. Several are
heavily indebted to the liquor
manufacturers.
Retailers reported the bootleg
menace has been increasing
steadily in the last few months.
High Federal and State taxes
have caused the prices Of liquor
to remain relatively high while
the scarcity of bonded aged
whiskey has forced the cost of
this product to prohibiEive levels
for the ordinary citizen.
Owing to the virtual disap-
pearance Of old liquor stocks
there is no prospect for an
Improvement in such types for
four or five more years. The
manufacturers are now produc.
ing in sufficient quantities to
put some liquor in bond for
aging purposes.

Negroes in Textile

THE approaching general textile strike
L brings sharply before the workers the
necessity of unity and solidarity of all
workers in the industry. The German
MacMahon machine has followed for years
policy opposed to this unity. They have
split up the Negro and white textile work
ers by their Jim-Crow.
The fact that few months ago there were only
10000 Negroes in the entire industry is in itself q
glazing evidence of the discrimination practced
against Negro workers in the industry discrim-
ination shared in by the employers and the q. T.
W. national officials alike
The U. T. w has set up Jim Crow locals called
Colored locals where the Negro textile workers
segregated and where the white officials of the
U. T. w. give the orders.
The COMMUNICATION machine also discrim-
mates against the more than 100000 women in the
industry, who are kept out of official positions.
OF the seventeen national officers of the union
not one is either Negro Neither
q a Negro even nominated for
office by the MacMahon machine or by the
called Lovestoneite or Socialist Party leaders who
we're delegates to the convention, There was not
one Negro delegate at the q T. W. convention.
The rank and file must at once put stop to
such discrimination. If the union is to present q
solid, unified front against the employers if the
demands are to be won, this Jin-Crow policy must
be wiped out.
The rank and file textile workers must go on
record against any discrimination against Negro
textile workers. The employers will not hesitate
to rush Negro scabs into the mills. The way to
prevent such action is for the white textile workers
to take clear cut stand against discrimination and
for equality. In this way the Negroes can be made
among the best fighters for the victory of the
strike.

Slavery on the Relief Jobs

Under the terms of ruling handed

Emergency Relief Administration, and al

by an official bulletin, an actual state of
slavery is established on all relief jobs in

BY its terms, the basis is laid for wave of
terror against all relief workers who strike union

E. R. A. ruling, workers cannot organize on the Jobs
or present demands for decent conditions and
for the right to work at projects near to their
homes. to bargain collectively" with the relief
administration.
The entire ruling is in line with the policy of
the Roosevelt relief administration to lower all re-
lief wages to the merest subsistence level of actual
"budgetary relief needs"
While real wages of the relief workers are con-
stsntly being lowered by increased prices of food
and clothing, the relief administration is now seek
the coming winter.
Only recently the New York State Economic
Council proposed that all unemployed on the relief
lists should be denied the right to vote strikes
should be barred on civil and public works and
that striking workers should be denied the right to
picket The relief administration ruling closely
following this proposal by this big business group
must be met with the opposition of organized and
unorganzed employed and unemployed workers in
the unions and in the neighborhoods.

Rio de .Janeiro
Faces General
Strike Tie-Up

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Aug.
29.-Workers in this city are NOV
ing toward a general walkout. A
series of strikes in number of
industries have been in progress for
weeks. Yesterday, bakers walked
out. In Nictheroy the ferryboat men
are on strike, but the government
has ordered the navy to man the
ferries. Street cars are at a stand
still.
The militia has been called out
in an effort to stem the strikes and
terror1ze the workers still on the
job.
In the city Of Sac Salvador, cap
ital of Bahia, telephone, electric,
transportation, service and news
paper workers walked out, virtually
plunging the city into general
strike.
An appeal has been made by rail-
road workers to President Getulio
Vergas, demanding that wages be
increased and the 48-hour week be
established.

PREPARE the Textile Strike

A GENERAL STRIKE in the textile in
"A dustry seems to be assured for Sept.
LIST in spite of the reluctance Of the A. F.
of L. leaders to go through with the strike
call The overwhelming pressure for
strike, by the rank and file textile workers
in all sections of the country, coupled with
the refusal of the employers to grant any worth
while concessions, has far defeated all attempts
of the Roosevelt boards and the A. F. of L. leaders
to prevent the strike.
The workers are determined to defeat the
stretch-out, to win higher wages and union recog-
milton.
The fact that william Green, Francis German
and other A. F. of L. officials have been unable to
sidetrack the strike makes the question of immed-
ate organiza ton and preparation of the general
strike all the more important.
Unable to stop the strike, the Germans and
Greens will sabotage the strike organization, will
weaken the strike by splitting tactics, by democrat
izing pessimism At the earliest possible moment
they will try to send the workers back to work
enslaved once more by government arbitration.
1t is up to the rank and file textile workers
themselves to protect their strike from treachery,
to safeguard their demands against any defeat
which will be engineered by union leaders The
rank and file alone will organize the strike and
make it effective.
Textile workers-come out on mass picket lines
Sept. l. and every day thereafter Strike every
textile mill in the United States
The rank and file must take full control of the
strike organization and negotiations into their own
hands to prevent betrayals by the A. F. of L.
leaders.
Elect broad rank END file strike committees in
every mill, to INCLUDE workers of all unions and
nnorgani0ed workers. Bind these mill strike nem-

The Painters Settlement

lust how much of a victory is the settle
ment of the New York painters gen
eral strike negotiated by Philip Zausner,
illegal Secretary of District Council 9 of
the Painters Brotherhood?
'I am very gratified by the fact that
the strike was settled on the basis of the
governments program for building up purchasing
power" said Mr.. Ben Golden, executive secretary
Of the Regional Labor Board, who had hand in
the settlement.
But all the facts show that purchasing power
Of the workers will not be built up by the settle
ment. The workers have been ordered back under
the same conditions they were laboring under be-
fore the strike began. The District Council has an
agreement for 50 a day and seven hours work, but
they had this agreement before and it was never
lived UP to. The Master Painters Association in
four statements issued during the strike admitted
this And added to this there is the decrease in
purchasing power through the N r. A. initiation
policies.
In fact, the agreement, as all other zausner
agreements is scrap of paper Tt signed
without the consent Of the rank and file, and in
it there is no provisions for struggle against
speed-up, guarantee that the letter Of the
agreement will be carried out
The positive factor in the strike, however, was
the excellent work OF Local 49e which, through its
rank and file strike committee leading militant
independent action against the employers and the
corrupt zsusner machine forced zausner and the
employers to retre1 from the idea Of herding the
back to work. b. the eight-hour, SO scale The
Importance of the'independent action of Local 400
is recognized by the rank and file of all locals Of
the Brotherhood
Local 4es continuing its good work, has warned
all locals that the settlement has given the painters
nothing The painters can enforce union condi
tons only by taking the matter into their own
hands by reporting all violations to Local 499. Lo-
cal 400 has made it clear that it will declare
on strike and picket all shops that do not main
tain union conditions and thus break the con-
spracy of the District Council, the employers and
the N. r. A. against the workers.

Groups of Socialists,
Trade Unionists Join
Spanish Communists

MADRID, Spain, Aug 90. - A
symptom of the enthusiastic ap-
proval felt by the workers for the
proposals made by the G. P. for
proletarian unity of action may be
seen in the present rapid influx
of revolutionary workers into the
G. P. Many of the workers now
joining the c. P. have been mem
bers of the Socialist Party or the
Young Socialist League.
There are, however, also many
trade union members among them,
and unorganized workers. The
'Mundo Obrero" states that 30 agri-
cultural laborers from Aranjuez
disappointed by the policy of the
Socialist Party, especially with re-
gard to its attitude toward the
united action move m e mt, have
joined the c. P.
One of them is Socialist town
councillor. Another instance is a
large group of functionaries of the
Socialist Party and the Socialist
Youth of Granada, who publish in
the "Mundo Obrero" an appeal to
all the workers of Spain, declaring
that they themselves are breaking
away finally from the Socialist
Party, for which they have fought
for many years, thinking it to be
a revolutionary party. They now
join the Communist Party, and call
upon all workers who are still mem
bers of the Socialist Party to follow
their example.
