COMMITTEE STUDIES
PLANS FOR NEW TAXES

The joint legislative COM
mittee on relief in three sep
arate meetings today consid-
cred the public works projects
which it is proposed to incor-
porate in the relief bill, the
cost of each the sources from
which this additional revenue
is to come and how it is to be
obtained. While nothing def
mite was decided relative to
revenues the possibilities of a
gasoline tax. a sales tax, tax
on incomes and a tax on real
estate were studied.
II has been developed by
the committee that the gaso-
line tax in Delaware is low as
compared with such tax in
other states. II was further
developed that Delaware is the
only state in the union that
has not levied a tax of any
kind to meet the increased ex-
penses of carrying on the re-
lief work. II was pointed out
that the relief ordinary sources
of revenue cannot be financed
and that extraordinary mea-
sures must be adopted

In spite OF the great number OF
accidents which have resulted from
gasoline explosions, drivers and
garage workers, according to the
Delaware Safety Council, continue
to do things which endapger not
only their own lives, but also the

seems needless to caution against
the use of matches. cigars, clearet-
tes, and other open flames near gas

In drawing or pouring gasoline
from one container to another, static
electricity sparks may be developed.
II is advisable always 10 keep the
two containers In contact with each
other, or to attach chain to the
pouring container which will main

the electric charge and prevent
sparkling. Sparks often result from
striking together two pieces Of metal.

Learning to Swim
By ZOE RANSAVACE

LESSON NO. b-BREATHING IN CRAWL
In swimming breathe steadily and without pause Away
breathe in through the mouth and through the nose
be nhang exhaing all the time Do hold your breat
while you take five six strokes you will tire very rapidly
The Washington times., 1934-05-25

Liza you ever take a deep
breath, then run rapidly while
holding it? The result is the
same.
The body requires the oxygen
furnished by the constant flow
Of air into the lungs to keep its
strength. Furthermore, it is al
most impossible to develop q
smooth gliding stroke and proper
form in swimming unless your
breathing is timed to coordinate
with the arm action. It is cor
rect to swim the crawl breathing
on either side of the body. To
most people it is more natural to
swim breathing on the left side.
However, others find it easier to
breathe on the right side. So
use the side most natural to you.
The principle is the same ap-
piled to either side.
Do not jerk the head from side
to side to breathe first on the
left side then on the right side
with each stroke of the arms.
Very few can successfully do it
without breaking the rhythm of
the stroke.
Common Fault
Another common fault is raising
or lifting the head straight up in
stead Of turning to the side so that
only the mouth clears the water.
A point to bear in mind is that
the head turns. using the
neck as a pivot on which to swing
independently of the rest of you.
Lifting the elbows high during the
recovery will greatly assist your
breathing.
Watch out for improper breath
ing, as it may develop into a
habit and be hard to correct later,
which you will have to do to have
that smooth, tirelesS form.

LINE.UPs FOR TODAY
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, May 25.-The Gritf'
men are getting nowhere fast
They've demonstrated this ever
since the dawn of that day they
arrived in this bustling city for a
series Of baseball games against
Rogers Hornsby's Browns.
In Wednesdays first contest
they began going the wrong way,
when a 5-to-2 verdict was dropped
"a nine-inning orgy which saw
the opposition score five runs in
the first two innings and keep
this lead behind the excellent
pitching Of one Buck NewSom,
burly Highlander.
Road to Ruin
Yesterday, not to be outdone,
another mile on this road to ruin
was recorded when a second loss
was taken at the hands of the
same st. Louis Browns, this time
when a guy by the name of Ray
Pepper lifted home run out of
the park in the seventh inning
which enabled the Browns to
triumph, S to S.
It goes without saying that set
backs Of this nature hurt and
hurt to the very core, because
Manager Cronin and his gang
have had it in mind since the
seasons start to grab the top
fung in the leagues standing and
stay there.
Western Clubs Strong
An explanation of the Griffs'
showing to date is comparatively
easy. The answer lies in the
strength every one of the Western
clubs has displayed and this takes
in not only the Browns, but the
Cleveland Indians, the Detroit
Tigers. and the Chicago White
Sox as well.
OF course the Griffs have lost
their last two games to the
Browns because of the not so good
pitching served up in the pinches.
But Cronin's staff has not been
alone in this, as the recent games
involving the New York Yankees,
the Boston Red Sox, and the
Philadelphia AS will prove.
The Griffmen may be having
their troubles these days attempt
ing to play better than 500 base
ball, but through it all Cecil
Travis, young third baSeman, is
making good the promise he
showed both as hitter and fielder
while at the clubs training camp
this spring.
Today Travis is leading the
league at bat with the impressive
average of .418.
Travis batting is for 18 games.
The actual figures reveal he has
stepped to the plate 66 times,
scored nine runs and slapped out
90 hits for a .418 average.
Held Hitless Once
And the feature bit of this rec
ord is the fact that Cecil has hit
safely in every game he's played

Rank and File Steel
Revolt Looms in Ohio
Especial to the Daily workerl


YOUNGSTOWN, o., Aug. 21.-A
rank and file revolt is brewing in
the Amalgamated Association in
Warren and Niles.
Sentiment for strike is growing
as the workers realize that their
own leaders betrayed them by tell
ing them the union was recognized
when, as a matter of fact, the let
ter signed by the Republic Steel
Corporation did not recognize the
union, but only agreed to pay the
A. A. scale, meet the A. A. working
conditions and A. A. mill commit
tees, without specifying union rec
ignition and without any set pc
Rod of time. In other words, the
company can cancel the agreement
at any time.
The Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union has addressed let
ter to all A. A. lodges in Warren
and Niles, pointing out this be-
trayal and proposing a united front
struggle against the company union
and for the Republic workers de-
mands. BALLET, SM. w. I. U. dis
trict secretary, spoke last night in
the Niles Lodge of the A. A. and
was warmly applauded. No word
has been disclosed yet as to what
action the lodge took on the united
front proposals.

Charge
Defeated by
Taxi Union

NEW YORK. - The charge of
criminal libel brought against Sam
Orner, Joseph Gilbert and William
Gandall, leaders of the Taxicab
Drivers Union TO Greater New
York, by Jerry Kamm, head of the
Association Of Terminal Drivers
company union, was dismissed by
Magistrate Goldstein in court Mon
day.
The General Motors Corporation,
through Mr.. Kamm, brought the
charges against the union leaders
several months ago, citing an ar
ticle which appeared in the Union
Hackie, the union paper, which re-
ported an alleged dishonesty of Mr.
Kamm while manager Of the Ter
minal garage.
The libel charge was one Of the
many attempts of the fleet owners
through their puppets in the COM
pany unions to destroy the Taxi
cab Drivers Union. 1t was charged
by the Union Hackie that Mr.. Kamm
while manager of the Terminal gar
age assessed drivers various sums OF
money for accidents and did not
turn this money over to the COM
pany. During the taxi strikes last
winter Kamm was employed as a
strikebreaker for the large fleet
owners.

Victory Won

lie adership
Relief WalkOut Spreads
to Three Other Cities
in the State

GALLUP, N. M, Aug. 21-After
a one-week strike, FERA workers
here, under the leadership of the
National Miners Union, defeated q
20 per cent wage cut, winning a
restoration of the so cent an hour
wage scale. During the entire
strike, the unemployed miners won
the right to relief.
In meeting with local and state
FERA officials, Felipe Baca and
Frank Williams, secretary of the
National Miners Union sub-district
board, represented the striking
FERA workers.
The Gallup workers struck on the
relief projects on Aug. 8 when the
State FERA announced 20 per
cent wage cut effective throughout
the State. Calling upon the work.
ers throughout the State to join in
the walkout, strike votes were pre-
pared in Duke City, in Ration and in
albuquerque.
In Ration, five workers were ar
rested when police and state patrol
men were placed on the projects in
order to stop picketing. One OF
the arrested workers was Tellesforo
Gallegos, strike leader in Dawson
last winter.
Harry MaYrogenis, leader of the
Duke City walkout and former
Gallup miner, speaking before the
Albuquerque Common Labor Union,
urged an immediate walkout, but
his motion was sidetracked by
union heads.
At the beginning of the Gallup
strike, Homer P. Powers, FERA adj
ministrator, declared that the 40
cent hourly wages could not be
changed. Under his proposal, the
relief workers would be forced to
work longer hours for the same
monthly pay. Attempting to recruit
scabs, Powers at first declared that
'full police protection" would be
given to all who wished to work.
AS the picket lines held. Powers was
forced to grant the workers de-
rnands that all relief projects would
be closed until full settlement
had been reached.
