u. S. INCOME TAXES
IN STATE HOLD UP
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel


RALEIGH, March 21.-Federal
income taxes are holding up well
and state collections have gone
beyond the expectation of cOllec-
tors, both revenue departments
said today without having final
figures.
The budget estimates for in
come made at the 1888 general
assembly for North Carolina will
hardly be reached, owing to the
heavy losses from tobacco, but
after the companies reported on
their years work and the earn
ings fell so far below normal
years, budget figures were dis
regarded as to those sources.
However, textiles doomed, and
the low estimates of the budget
airy commission were subject to
revisal. The two collecting ag-
encies, state and federal, are
therefore in the jam unable to
say how much of a recapture is
possible through the increased
revenues from the unexpected
sources.
Collector Charley Robertson of
the federal revenue office will
have a tentative report today.
owe are all right" he said yes
terday. but how all right he did
not say. 1t seems that his d.
vision is going to get as much as
it expected. 1t has gained much
more from other sources than
anybody had hoped to gain.
A million and a half dollars
loss is feared in the tobacco reve-
nues, very easy calculation if
one contrasts 1882 with 1888
earnings. But there is no way
to guess the gains in other sour.

PITTSBURGH, Nov 30.-Election
results just published show that the
Communist Party scored consistent
gains in almost every section Of Al
legheny County, while the Socialist
Party vote declined considerably.
Harry NJ. Wicks, Communist can
didate for U. 8. Senator, polled
1923 votes in this county, 20 per
cent gain over the 1882 Communist
vote.
In the 31st Congressional district,
including such towns as Turtle
Greek, Braddock, and other steel
towns, the Communist candidate
polled 600 votes this year, compared
with no Communist votes at all last
year. The Socialist Party candidate
William Adams, polled 1,1os votes,
drop of more than 80 per cent
from the 1882 Socialist vote.
In McKeesport, important indus
trial center, the Communist vote
dropped from IS to 43. But in the
10th Congressional district, the Com
munist vote rose from 1929 in 1892
to 2,265 this year, while the So
cialist vote dropped in the various
Congressional districts on an aver
age of so per cent.

the grounds that the National I'm
employment Council have proven to
be "disrupters." That this is an idle
excuse is proven emphatically by
the excellent united front demon
stration in Chicago, with the full
participation of the Unemployment
Council, which forced the Chicago
Federation Of Labor to endorse the
demonstration and march, and
brought into the streets $4,000 work

because of the refusal of the united

file of the S.P.-controlled unem-
ployed organization could not under
stand why there were no speakers

in the delegation. In both demon
strations, there was a splendid spirit
of unity.
Our questions to the Socialist and
Music leaders-Lasser and Fox,
Ramuglia, johnson and Truax-are,
who are the disrupters? Who is
keeping the unemployed from unit
ing their ranks so that they can put
up battle for their rights? Who
is fighting FOR unity and who is
fighting AGAINST unity?
Surely these people cannot pre-
tend to be champions of unity, when
they profess to support the Workers
Bill, but refuse to participate in the
National Congress. They cannot
pretend to stand for the united
front, when in all localities, they
and their lieutenants do everything
to prevent united action. They can
not pretend to stand for unification
of the unemployed organizations,
when their reply to the unificat.on
proposals of the National Unem-
ployment Council of October 23rd
was silence! They cannot pretend
to stand for real unity, when they
propose to merge their own organi-

Wages to Rise.
For Workers
In the U.S.S.R.
Closed Bread Stores
No Longer Needed
After January l
Especial to the Daily Worker,

MOSCOW, Nov. 80 CBy WirelesS)
The closed bread store system,
which for the last five years has
provided the U.S.s.R. with bread
and other foods at the lowest
prices, will no longer be necessary
after January 1. Parallel with the
open purchasing of all food there
will be a raise in all wages Of
manual and Office workers, this not
merely to overcome the slight rise
of food prices but to mark the ex-
tension of the sale Of a thousand
and one consumers goods now
available to the Soviet worker and
peasant.
These two questions were the
main subjects Of discussion in a
three-day plenun Of the Central
Committee of the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union ending today.
It's resolution concerning the end
of the ration system states:
"rirst, to abolish on January I,
1885, the card system supplying
bread, flour, and cereals and to
establish the universal sale OF
bread and other products to the
populations through the state CO.
operative shops. Second, to abol-
ish all forms existing in the retail
sale prices of bread, flour and
cereals and to introduce single re-
tail prices of these products in con-
for1nity with several territorial
zones which will include definite
groups, regions and districts as
well as republics.
This single price on bread and
other products should be fixed ap-
proXimately at a medium level
between existing high commercial
prices and the too low ration prices.
In connection with the fact that this
circumstance will lead to some
rise in the ration price of bread,
the plenum Of the Central Com
mittee, C.P.S.U. considers that a
corresponding rise in the wages of
workers and employees should be
effected, beginning January 1st.
Also scholarships to students, pen
sion, etc. are to be raised. There
is to be abolished also the present
system of rationing the supply of
bread to suppliers of agricultural
raw material; instead there will be
developed the wide sale of bread
and flour in all regions where there
is delivery of agricultural raw ma
terial."
In connection with the establish
ment Of a single retail price on
bread and flour the plenum fur
Their decided to raise the delivery
prices on agricultural raw material,
from collective and individual farm
ers, to establish the wide sale of grain
forage, both to the population as
we'll as to the state collective farms,
the price being fixed by the state.
The increase of the network of
shops for trading in bread up to
January 4, 1885, is intended to be
no less than 10000 units.

Milwaukee, Buffalo and the smaller
districts must at once reconize their
responsibility to rush the compile
ton of their quotas. The leadership
in these districts must assume di-
rect personal responsibility for the
carrying out Of this work. Cali
fornia, Seattle and Minneapolis,
especially, must take special, all
embracing action.
Affairs-unit, section and on a
district scale-should be at once ar
ranged. A thorough circulation of
collection lists should be m d e.
Territories must be fully canvaSsed
and personal visits and appeals for
funds made to workers organiza-
tons.
"DaiIy" Calls for Speed

pIete the 100000 fund can be

are taken, and the Daily Worker

behind not to drag along for an

Unity of ALI Unemployed Organizations the Vital Issue

of it all, the federal, state and local
governments are carrying on con-
certed campaign to shift the burden
of relief onto the shoulders of the
workers by means of sales taxes,
wage, fare taxes, etc. In short, a
vicious offensive against the whole
working class.
The Workers Bill
The burning issue OF the hour,
therefore, is the passing by the
coming U. S. Congress of a system
of genuine unemployment and So
cial insurance. The only bill that
cmbodies principles that are of value
to the workers, both employed and
unemployed, is the Workers Unem-
ployment and Social Insurance Bill.
This has been demonstrated by the
tremendous support given to the
Workers Bill by the rank and file
OF the A. F. of L.-inore than $500
locals of the A. F.. of L., Railroad
Brotherhoods, ETC.; six State Fed
erations of Labor, 48 central labor
bodies, five international unions,
large numbers of fraternal orders,
youth, Negro, professional, veteran
organizations, etc.
The leaders of the A. F. of L. re-
use to give support to the Workers
Bill. On the contrary, they will sup
port any bill that Roosevelt and his
"Committse on Economic Security"
will propose. The question arises in
the international unions, however,
as to the right of the leaders of
these unions to sabotage the deci-
sions of conventions of the rank and
file delegates of these unions. Thus,
Mike Tighe, of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers, end Thomas Mcmahon, of
the United Textile Workers Union.
do nothing in support of the Work
ers Bill, despite the decision OF the
conventions. 1t is clear that here
we have fight that must be fought
out by the rank and file against
their reactionary leaders. This APP
plies in somewhat similar measure
to the State declarations Of Labor.

WashDrivers
Plan Strike
In St. Louis

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 30.-The
Laundry Drivers Union, aff1lated
with the American Federation Of
Labor teamsters brotherhood, has
presented demands for higher
wages and voted to walk out if these
demands are not met by tomorrow.
Last year when the drivers struck
and inside laundry workers struck
in sympathy, the drivers unions
officials betrayed the inside workers
by going back and hauling scab
laundry.
This year the rank and file Of
the laundry drivers should call on
the inside workers to come out, and
the drivers should pledge that they
will strike until an agreement for
both inside workers and drivers is
reached.
The inside workers are now re-
luctant to come out because OF the
betrayal OF the drivers officials last
year. But both the drivers and in
side workers should arrange for
united front strike of both, in spite
of the officials, and both pledge ID
stay out until the demands Of botn
are granted.

The New Republic of Nov. % SAYS
the following:

that has shown any real and con-

probably have been obtained"
Emphasis mine-I. Al
The National Unemployment
Council, as the most militant,
courageous, determined, uncompro-
missing unemployed organization,
with its clear line, raises the issue
of unity as the burning question.

Socialists and Musteites. With or
without the approval of their lead
ers, the rank and file of these I'M

they should elect fraternal delegates
to the Fourth Convention of the Ma

will be held in Washington on Jan

gress. The unification of the unem-
ployed organizations is imperative

cations, and leave outside the Ma
tional Unemployment Council.
Dividing the Unemployed
The workers know that the MUG.
was the first and today is the strong
est and only na9on- wide unem-
ployed organization in the country,
with organizations in forty-four
states. in Alaska and Porto Rico.
The formation Of the opponent un-
employed organization had only one
result: to divide the unemployed.
1t could have only one aim: to fight
against the National Unemployment
Council. The purpose of the pro-
posed unity of the Socialist and
Music organizations is to unite all
forces in struggle against the Com
munists and the National Unem-
ployment Council.
But that is not the final result.
The consequence of this action will
be continuation of the division in
the ranks Of the unemployed, in
creasing antagonism and weaken
ing of the forces in struggle for
workers rights.
Against this, the National Unem-
ployment Council proposes a unity
convention to unite all the unem-
ployed organizations in the country.
The only conditions laid down for
unity are that it shall be on broad
democratic basis, with the rank and
file being fully informed on the
negotiations and proceedings and
that the program shall be a class
struggle program.
Unity Essential
The struggles ahead demand
unity. Who dares stand in the way
Of unity? In the interest Of the
working class, the Communists are
fighting for unity. Without unity,
the unemployed, both those organ
lied in the National Unemployment
Council and in the opponent unem-
ployed organizations, and the unor-
ganized unemployed, will not be
able to meet the coming vicious at
tacks with full force

The situation of the unemployed
becomes more desperate day by day.
The capitalist newspapers do not
report the tragedies that are taking
place every day-yes, every hour
and minute-throughout the country
as a result of unemployment, low
wages, etc. Ol(y when there is
something dramatic" or startling
about such tragedy, do the gutter
sheets report.
The misery of wide sections of the
working population is growing
Slashes in relief, wholesale removals
from the relief rolls, cuts in scales
on work projects to a starvation
level, cutting down of hours on the
jobs so that the pay on the relief
jobs is only slightly higher than
home relief, continued evictions-
these are only a few of the ques-
tons that face the army of 10000
600 unemployed and their families.
The government has a definite
plan: Roosevelt will endorse a So
called unemployment insurance"
bill, which will not grant a single
penny to the unemployed. This bill
will be of little benefit to the en-
ployed workers as we'll ana ca7not
go into effect before October 1886

Subsistence Hotnea.eais
In addition, Roosevelt and Hop
kins propose to herd the industrial
into Subsistence home
steadS," where the unemployed will
raise their own food and work at
scab rates in factories, in order to
pay for their "homesteads." The
aim is to put the unemployed on
their own, take the responsibility
for relief off the shoulders of the
government, scatter the unemployed
over the countryside and make it
difficult for them to carry on fight.
This is in line with the policy of
the transient and C.C.C. camps.
This will mean a lowering of the

The rank and file, led by the opposi-
ton, must take up the fight.
Socialist Leaders
The leaders of the Socialist Party
refuse to endorse the Workers Bill.
On the contrary, they support bills
similar to the Wagner-Lewis bill,
which has the endorsement OF
Roosevelt.
The Socialist controlled unem-
ployed organizations, as also the
Muste-controlled unemployed or
ganizations, on the other hand, have
in the main endorsed the Workers
Bill. The movement for welding to-
gether all forces to compel the U. S.
Congress to pass a genuine unem-
ployment insurance bill, is being
built in the organization of the Ma
tional Congress for Unemployment
and Social Insurance, which will
be held in Washington on Jan. S,
s and T. The leaders Ct the Socialist
and of the Music controlled unem-
ployed organizations refuse to par
ticipate in the organization and ar
rangement of the National Congress,
although several times they have
been invited to do so.
This raises a question as to their
sincerity in endorsing the Workers
Bill. This shows that only the pres
sure of the rank and file of their
organizations forced them to give
at least lip service in support of the
Workers Bill and must force them
to go further.
Today the paramount issue before
the unemployed organizations is
unity. The leaders of the Socialist
and of the Music unemployed or
CARNATIONS pretend that they are
in favor Of unity But they declare
jointly that they will support unity
with anybody except the Commu-
nists and the National Unemploy-
ment Council"
Unity Rejected

ganizations planned demonstrations

ployment Council proposed the

before the seventh.
This industry was really created
in the last four years. When the
sixth congress was being held only
one, the Stalingrad plant, existed,
the other plants (Stalin-Moscow
plant, Kharkov, Cheliabinsk trac.
tor plants, Molotov and Cork auto
mobile plants having started OPP
erations only after the congress.
In 1880 the U.S.S.R. produced
$500 automobiles, these being as.
sembled mostly from foreign parts,
and $4,000 tractors. Since the sixth
congress not only have new plants
been constructed but they have
been mastered. All the tractor and
automobile plants in the US.SR.
are working at full planned capacity.
In its report to the seventh con-
gress of sovietS the government will
be able to make complete state
ment of the fulfillment of the plans
for the automobile-tractor industry.
During ten months of 1894, $500
automobiles and 1890 tractors were
made. So far as tractor production
is concerned, by 1882 the U.S.S.R.
had already occupied first place in
the world. Since then the Soviet
tractor industry has continued to
develop tempestuously, while a fur
ther reduction in the production of
the same in the capitalist countries
took place.
The main mass of tractors in the
U.S.S.R. has been sent to the ma
chine tractor stations, the number
of which has of late greatly In
creased, amounting at the present
time to $500 as against the 1853
existing in 1890.
The automobile-tractor plants
themselves are being reconstructed
and perfected. With the extension
Of the Stain Automobile plant it
will begin to make passenger cars,
besides trucks. The Cork plant is
extending its production up to 300,-
900 automobiles yearly and the
Yaroslav plant extending produc-
ton UP to $4,000 five-ton trucks
yearly.
According to a decision of the
seventeenth party congress three
new automobile plants are to be
built, one at Ufa and at Stalingrad,
whose production capacity will be
100000 three-ton trucks yearly each,
and also one at Samara, whose
production capacity will be $4,000
five-ton trucks yearly.
