Big Business Proposes
Relief Taxes

AS opposition to the LaGuardia relief tax
IA plan grows, class lines become more
closely drawn. The big business group
headed by Grover Whalen, whose deft
anti-labor fist is seen behind the maneu-
vers to thrust the burden squarely upon
the shoulders of working class, seeks to
enlist the support of the small business men. In
the big business group are represented such COM
bines as the New York State Chamber of Commerce
the New York Board of Trade the Merchants Asso-
citation, and the New York State Economic Council
The Economic Council includes in it's directorate
such men as EIon H. Hooker, upstate munitions
manufacturer 1t recently proposed that the jobess
be denied the right to vote, and that all strikes on
civil works jobs and sympathetic strikes be barred
The Whalen big business group proposes a gen
eral sales tax tax on subway rides and lottery
plan to finance relief In imposing these taxes
which would fall directly upon the working popu-
lation, Whalens group looks for the backing of
the small businesses
That such taxes would eat directly into the bread
and butter incomes OF the small merchants is evil
dent, just the LaGuardia- proposed tax is aimed
principally at the workers and the small business
and professional groups, by: Cd reducing the real
wages of the working class and co eating squarely
into their incomes by direct taxation
Obviously the professional and small business
men must align themselves with the employed and
unemployed workers in the fight for increased relief
through taxation on the incomes of the wealthy,
on inheritances, on the super profits of the public
utilities and corporations and large realty hold
ings
Only by the winning of increased relief for the
jobless at the expense of these groups will the
small merchants benefit both by increased expen-
dtures-the benefit of which they will gain by
increased trading in the neighborlood stores and
by taxation for relief the Wall Street masters
of LaGuardia.

workers and starvation for the peasants To help
the American-oWned sugar trusts which export
sugar from Cuba to the U. S, the duty is cut from
IL cents a pound to 9lOs of one cent. This.
experts reckon, is worth s22S24OOO annually which
will go chiefly to the American owners Of the
sugar centrals, with a dribbng to the Cuban land
lords and the Mendieta regime to pay the interest
on the Chase National and National City Bank
graft loans.
In return for these great concessions" the Men
dieta regime cuts down the tariff for American
automobiles and machinery, which, it is obvious
at glance, will Of course bring great benefit to
the workers and peasants who have no shoes or
bread.
Mendiets can, of course, point to the reduction
in the tariff on hog lard which may give the
toilers few dabs Of lard at a reduction
The reciprocity pact rivets still further the semi
colonial status on Cuba, and is of the greatest
benefit to the imperialist bankers and sugar mill
owners. 1t will bring some profit to the Cuban
landlord bourgeoisie but to the masses it forecasts
greater imperialist domination and dependency on
Wall Street, greater political terror and oppression

The Cuban Trade Pact

REPRESENTATIVES of the Mendieta
IL regime in Cuba, and the State Depart
ment have signed new trade pact with
Cuba, by means of which Wall Street
hopes to end the political unrest" in the
island, and to bolster up the Mendieta
government.
"Our agreement with Cuba" the N. Y.
Times headlines special story on the subject "a
sign of special THAT is imperialist-D WI interest,"
The treaty is definitely drawn up, not to aid the
Cuban masses, but specifically the American bank
ing and sugar interests in Cuba as well as Ameri-
can exporters, and the Wall Street lackeys among
the Cuban landlord bourgeoise.
For example, the restriction on sugar imports

the most part manned by women.
Women play big part in making
purchases from the Kuomintang
districts 1t is women that go to
the white districts in buying expe-
ditions.
Women contributed largely to-
wards the sale Of the $1,000 900
bonds issued by the Soviets last
year. They sold their headwear,
rings, etc, and bought the bonds
with the proceeds therefrom in
race with men who marketed their
produce or raised money from other
sources for the purchase of the
bonds. The bonds absorbed by
women amounted to one million.
Womens Culture
Under the cultural upsurge of the
Soviets, women have been develop
ing much higher level of culture.
Here is but one instance. Out of a
total enrolment of 1910 pupils in
the night schools of Sinkuo,
Kiangsi, 10,752 are girls, or so per
cent of the aggregate. Among the
2,519 members of the reading
circles, 1859 are women and girls
so per cent. Out of 20,969 chill
dren of school age 1898 girls joined
the feminist schools. Educated
women have filled responsible posi-
tons in the school. A good many
of the principals of primary and
night schools are women.
Freedom In Marriage
Freedom of marriage is possible
only under conditions of political
and economic freedom. In this re-
gard the Soviet women have scored
complete success. Men and girls
may marry on registration with the
Soviet Government provided men
are 20 years of age and girls 49,,
and provided they are not infected
with any contagious disease or
maladies inherited from parents.
Compulsory marriage, sale of
women, child wives, ETC., are all
done away with by the persistent
work of the Soviets in this direc-
ton.

Textile Strike Funds

THE A. F. of L. leadership continue to do
everything it possibly can to behead
the coming strike of the textile workers.
The latest attempt to demoralize the ranks
of the textile workers is the propaganda Of
the Decentralization leadership that the
textile workers have no strike funds.
George Googe, personal representative of Green,
declares that the A F. of L. national organization
cannot support the strike financially according to
the A. F, of L. constitution
This harping on lack of preparation" lack of
finances" ETC.. was begun at the United Textile
Workers Convention where President MacNiahon
told the delegates there we're no funds to carry
on the strike. 1t has continued since. But Mac
Mahon was instructed by the convention to call
the strike on or before Sept /.
Six days before the date of the scheduled strike
those responsible for directing the struggle have
not taken single step to organize and prepare the
strike. The A. F. of L. has not even issued
statement to the A. F. of L. locals or to the entire
working class calling for mobilization in support of
the strike. The most obvious steps in strike prepa-
ration have not been taken by these betrayers.
Instead they issue demoralizng statements
aimed to split the ranks of the textile workers
They favor, according to their statements in the
capitalist press, calling the cotton silk and wooden
departments out separately leaving the cotton strik-
ers to stand alone German issues a statement
prasing the National Industrial Relations Board
thus laying the basis for strike selI-out by that
body These leaders hail" the N.R.A decision in
the cotton garment industry, which actually was
wage cut. They thus leave another door open
for preventing the strike through accepting fake
concession" They have already announced they
will compromise" on the demand for thirty hour
week
The textile workers should neither be fooled by
these maneuvers nor by the talk of mo funds"
The entire working class will support the textile
workers strike. and ample funds to win the strike
can be obtained by mobilization of the A. F. Of L.
locals.
Those leaders responsible for strike preparations,
as heads of the United Textile Workers and the
A. F. of L. will not prepare the strike, organize mass
picketng. rally the maximum response to the strike
nor arouse support from the labor movement. The
local unions of the United Textile Workers will
have to do this work themselves.
The rank and file should not wait for action by
their treacherous leaders Broad united front strike
committees should be set up now in every mill
These committees, representing all workers in the
mill, should take into their own hands the imme-
date preparation and organization of the strike
