I Union labor like President Roose-

surance, but it proposes, through Pres
ident Green of the A. f. Of L., that
the insurance be financed wholly by
per cent tax on pay rolls. Opposing
any direct levy on the workers, Mr..
Green says they would pay most Of the
cost anyway. Employers add their
cost to prices and employees buy 50
per cent of all goods, he argued. If
workers shared the direct cost Of in
surance, he adds, they would be pay
ing twice.
Representative Connery of Massa-
chusetts, chairman of the house labor
committee, says that sentiment in favor
of the 30-hour week measure as
means of reducing unemployment is
increasing. This also is warmly urged
by union labor, but the administration
seems to think the time for it has not
yet come.

THE TAX MASTER

The National Industrial Cofer-
ence Board has issued an extraor-
dinarily interesting comparison OF
the naion's income and expetndi-
lures of rthe years 1929 and 1892.
In the former year u income
was $50, 900, 100000. In the latter
it was $r39, 0OO, 900. Yet the
cost of government rose from 10
per cent to 17.3 per cent of the
total income.
In 1882 we spent three times AS
much for government rs for agrl-
cultural products; seven times as
much as we spent for light, power
and gas: twenty per cent more
than we spent for all m%anufactur-
ed products; twelve times as much
as we spent for metals. An idea
cf the change may be gained
from The fact that in 1929 gov
rernmenr cost us only a third as
much as we spent for manufact-
ured products, and cost a billion
dollars than we spent for agrl-
cultural commodities.
Today it is reliably estimated
that the cost Of government a.
mounts to more than 20 per cent
OF the national income. That
means that every worker must
put in one day out of each fNe-
day week in order to pay his
share Of he expense. If hits wage
is $3.50 Ga week, he gets but 800
% in realty-government gets the
other $500, either directly,
through increasing the cost OF all
the necessities of life.
The tax problem is as vital an
issue d the American people ever
faced.

CONSERVATIVES and PRO-
GRESSWES CLASH ON
NEGRO ISSUE

SAN FRANCISCO-(FP)- The
first skirmish between progressive
and conservative forces on the floor of
the A. F. and L. convention took place
in the morning session of the fifth
day, Oct. 5. Neither side emerged
victorious, but it may be said that the
progressives drew first blood.
Centering on a resolution introduc-
ed by Delegate Philip Randolph of
the Sleeping Car Porters advocating
expulsion of "any union which viola
ties the constitution of the American
Federation of Labor by maintaining
the color bar and which called for
1.-THE appointment of a committee Of
five to investigate the whole status
of Negro workers in relation to the
A. F. of L., the issue precipitated a
sharp division among the delegates.
The Committee on Organization rec
commended non-concurrance in the re-
solution. Randolph then took the
floor and urged its passage in a res
trained but eloquent plea that was fol
lowed by one of the longest bursts
of applause yet heard in the conven-
ton. When an oral vote was taken
on the acceptance of the Organization
Committees recommendation, a thun-
derous mo : echoed through the hall
Sparring for delay, before a show Of
hands could be taken, w. L. Hutche-
son of the Carpenters offered on
amendment to the effect that Pre-

matter at next years convention. An
