DAILY Worker Washington Bureau)
WASHINGTON, May IS. - To
supplement and aid the militia
against the series of growing strikes
throughout the country, and to
prepare direct participation of the
Roosevelt government in all of
these struggles, the Senate Labor
Committee worked at great speed
today to rush through the revised
Wagner strikebreahAng bill.
The action of the Senate COM
mittee is the speedy answer to
President Roosevelt's order yester-
day to Senator Wagner and Senator
Walsh to rush the new Wagner Bill,
revised to meet all the needs of the
big trust, out Of committee as
quickly as possible.
Under pressure of the widespread
attack against the workers, and the
threat of q general steel strike,
Roosevelt hopes to rush the bill
through with minimum of adj
vance publicity to avoid mass indig-
nation. Originally attempted to be
palmed off as an anti-company
union bill, the revised measure
clearly is formulated to strengthen
and bolster company unions, as
against the genuine unions of the
workers.
Even conservative observers
pointed out that the new bill is a
continuation of the Presidents
automobile sell-out in that it gives
employers ways and means OF
breaking up workers solidarity by
actually tying employers groups

Mills Speech Necessary.

Complete lack of comment from ma
tional Republicans on the Ogden Mills
off season keynote speech was not due
to disinterestedness, but to dismay.
The brilliant New Yorker's grafton
in Topeka was interpreted by his party
colleagues here privately as more
funereal than necessary. They say the
party must offer the farmer something
besides the tariff and the country some
thing beside generalized opposition.
They did not realize what Mills was
up against. He had to say something
stimulating politically, and yet avoid
specific issues.
The truth is the Republicans hare
franchise on politics. They must
run q street car oUer the line eUery
so often or they ,uiH lose the fran-
chise.
The Mills speech was just one Of
that kind of car.
Cold Water Stops Pleas.
Public works directors have adopted
slick scheme for turning down prof.
ects they do not like
They cannot afford to reject offers
for fear of arousing resentment, so they
attach impossible demands to projects
they do not favor.
In one case recently they approved
a project with proviso that so per
cent of the money should be raised by
private capital. They knew it would be
impossible to raise any such amount
privately In that way they get around
unsatisfactory projects which are
strongly backed politically by prominent
Democrats.
Red Tape on Air School.
A typical political red-tape yarn of
Washington is the one about the avia-
ton ground school location. The issue
has been up in the air for years.

Nevertheless some stronger wooing
may be necessary to keep Congress from
going contrary to Mr.. Roosevelt's wishes
regarding veterans economies.
It is a dangerous sub-surface issue,
one on which the administration stands
a chance of being beaten.
Mr.. Roosevelt gave in little by
restoring about one third of what the
American Legion wanted. That failed
to quiet the clamor With Congressman
coming up for election in the Fall, the
veterans vote is eagerly sought.
Republican Senators are guaranteeing
that the issue will be forced before the
Senate for vote. Action in the House
has been delayed. Chairman Rankin of
the House Veterans Committee has
postponed hearings several times.
Tariff Issue Impends.
Administration mouthpieces have
kept comparatively quiet about the fact
Mr. Roosevelt has had a tariff message
to Congress on his desk now for days.
As a matter OF fact, he had a
tariff message prepared for the last
session of Congress and did not
choose to send it.
This current one is supposed to be
in the form of a report from George
Peek who has been investigating trade
possibilities
Mr. Roosevelt's backwardness about
releasing his tariff plans is based on
the knowledge that they will raise a
fuss in Congress.
He tore up his first tariff message
last Spring because his congressional
leaders told him the session would be
endless If he raised that issue They are
telling him the same thing now
In such cases the President usually
concocts scheme whereby he can get
what he wants without arousing the
opposition. He is supposed to be think
ing along that line now.

place the so-called nuisance taxes by
raising S400,000,000 annually.
Would Yield s4O0, 100000.
The Democrats. with a bare majority
in the House In the Seventy-second
Congress. sought to put through one
quarter per cent similar tax but coali-
ton was formed by Representative
Doughton, Democrat, of North Carolina,
now chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, ard former Representative
Fiarello H. La Guardia, now mayor of
New York, which defeated the legisla-
ton. The House then enacted the So
called "biliion-dollar" revenue bill by
imposing nuisance taxes and increasing
income tax rates. The Hoover admin
istration supported the sales tax.
Crowther estimated that his PROPOSE
ton would yield s40O, 900 900 in revenue
There has been some growth of senti-
ment among House members for a gen.
eral sales tax, but unless it is given the
approval of the administration there is
little hope of favorable action. There
is a stronger sentiment among the
membership to impose heavier income
taxes on the wealthy along the line pro-
posed in the bill by the committee.

ROPER TALK HELD
ANSWER TO MILLS
Secretary Says Dictatorial
Methods Were Not Used

A reply by Secretary Of Commerce
Roper to charges Ogden L. Mills leveled
Ut the recovery program was made late
yesterday at the conference Of State
directors of various relief agencies and

eency Council
Roper did not refer to Mills nor to
the Republican leaders Topeka address
of Monday night, but he Wove into his
discussion almost categorical answers to
some of Mills charges
Mills keynoted his Topeka talk with
4 announcement of executive dictator

Gives History Of Plans.
Roper said:
Numerous plans and remedies were
proposed last Spring by the several in
dustrial, economic and social groupings
of our people Through the efforts OF
President Roosevelt and his assistants
and members of Congress, these several
plans were brought together. After in
telligent analysis and consideration,
they were approved by an overWhelm-
ing ma jority in both houses of Congress.
Il mention this to emphasize the fact
evidence in suggesting recovery pro-
gram: no dictatorial attitude in pre-
senting the bills to Congress-: no dlcta-
torial pressure in the passing of these
bills by Congress: no dictatorial insist
ence that the democratic procedure OF
our form of government be disregarded
Or suspended"
Mills spoke of wholesale attempt
to reorganize industry and business by
substituting detailed bureaucratic con-
troll in place Of regulated individual
control"
"The crux Of the recovery program"
Roper said, sis to so administer the
emergency efforts that the pump Of
private business will be primed to bring
forth as quickly as possible full-f1ow-
ing stream of employment and pur-
chasing power. The Government can
be expected to start the pendulum on
the economic clock, but business must
do the winding"
Mills said: Our ancestors gave their
lives to make the individual the master
of his destiny and the State the servant
rather than the master of the people"
mo countenance," Roper said, should
be given to the hypothesis that the
profit system is to be destroyed. But
in the interest of all concerned, it must
be controlled, harmonized and balanced.
Individualism REDEEMED.
I'VE have REDEEMED individualism in
terms of just rewards for the accom-
plished and an equal sharing of eco
nonlic gains with those who have
earned their share The social motive
is just as necessary to business progress
as the profit motive, and the future
welfare of our country must depend
upon the proper balancing of these two
objectives."
Roper in the Woodrow Wilson ad-
Yninistration was commissioner of In
ternal Revenue. In the years inter-
vening he has spent most of his time
in Washington. maintaining contact
with national and political events
His speech yesterday was one of the
three made in the public gathering.
Shortly after he talked, the four-day
conference of the Executive Council
and its 4s field agents went into session
behind closed doors.

The Army has been recommending an
Ohio site near Dayton. Congress has
been failing to follow the recommended
ton for so long that Gen. Foulois has
tossed up his hands and said he does
not care where it is established if Con-
gress will just please establish it some
where.
Some years ago Congress authorized
construction of the school at Chanute
Field, Ill. The War Department de-
clined to spend the money.
Assistant Secretary F. Trubee

the Air Corps recommended Dayton,
but the House Appropriations Com
nittee again selected Chanute Field
in the Garner pork barrel bill OF

That selection was eliminated on the
House floor through the efforts Of Rep
resentative Harlan of Ohio.
Last Summer the P. w. A. started to
offer money for the school, without
designating the spot for it, The Illinois
boys thought that would mean selection
of the Dayton site and they blocked the

Harlan is trying to arouse the Ohio

is sitting tight. The Army still favors
Dayton quietly.
