OF the Board OF Elections, in a tele-
phonic conversation with the Daily
Worker this week.
Assemblyman Saul S. STREET., Tam
many legislator from New York
City, introduced the amendments
last Monday in the State Assembly.
The major point in the proposals
made by Assemblyman STREET is that
parties must have received $4,000
votes for their candidate for Gov
ernor in the 1884 elections in order
to be placed on the ballot officially.
Otherwise minority parties must OBJ
tain $4,000 signatures.
Israel Amter, Communist candi-
date for Governor in the recent
elections, received exactly 45,87S
votes, according to the certified
totals issued by the Secretary of
State.
The law, as it now reads, requires
only $4,000 votes for a party to be
placed on the ballot without OBJ
tanning signatures. This require
ment had been met by the Com
r1unrst Party in the gubernatorial
elections of 1882. An increase OF

TOKYO, Feb. IA (By Cable -
Soviet Ambassador to Japan Yu-
renew today delivered to the Jap
anese government strong protest
against the lying anti-Soviet speech
made by Saito, Japanese Annbassa-
dor to the United States, at Chicago
on Feb. g.. Speaking at meeting
of the Council for Foreign Political
Affairs, Ambassador Saito among
other misstatements, declared that
the imperialist drive by Japan into
Manchuria in 1881 was "a measure
of self-defense, because the U. S.
S. r., having broken the Portsmouth
Treaty Cd was melting China to
actions directed toward driving for
eigners from China"
In his protest, Ambassador Yu-
renew pointed out that there was
no doubt about who had broken the
Portsmouth Treaty, since the inva-
sion of Manchuria was in itself a
fragrant violation of the chief basis
of the Treaty.
1t did not require the U. S. S. r.,
Yurenev said in effect, to arouse
the Chinese people against the ter
rifle devastation and slaughter per-
petrated by Japanese imperialism.

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Feb. IA
The prosecution abruptly rested its
case yesterday afternoon in the
criminal syndicalism trial here of
the eighteen worker defendants.
The plans of Neil McAllister, spe-
cial prosecutor, to call Captain
Hynes of the notorious Los Angeles

for fear that discrimination by
Leo Gallagher, International Labor
Defense attorney, would bring out
the vicious anti-labor activities of
Hynes and his red squad" Hynes
has sat with the prosecution
throughout the trial, giving whisp-
pered directives from time to time.
Gallagher Immediately moved for
a months continuance, declaring
that the lynch-incitement cam
paign worked up in the local press
precluded the possibility of fair
trial for the defendants. The mo-
ton was brusquely denied by Judge
Oal M, Lennon, presiding at the
trial in Superior Court.

one after the other to the letter the instructions
of the Chamber of Commerce and the Manufac-

fake Wagner-Lewis Bill which bars the unemployed

BANK GROUP
BACKS F.D.R.
SLAVE PLAN
Sears Roebuck Chief
Heads Presidents
New Committee

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. IA
President Roosevelt today openly
and firmly placed big business in
the saddle to dictate the work relief
set-up under the s4,S80,OOO works
relief bill over which Roosevelt has
demanded dictatorial powers. The
bill sets an average slave wage Of
$50 a month for labor on the prof.
ects. AS the bill went through,
Roosevelt has been given the power
to set the slave wage rates.
Roosevelt announced today that
he had appointed General Robert
E. Wood, president of the union
smashing Sears-ROebUck Conn
pany to head the advisory COM
mittee which will advise" him on
the ALLEGATION of the projects.
Other members are being picked
from the business Advisory Council
Of the Department of Commerce,
Secretary of Commerce Roper said
after he and General Wood had
conferred with Roosevelt.
Bankers in Group
This group includes such men as
Morgan, Rockefeller, Sloan and
Owen D. Young, the financial and
monopoly dictators of Wall Street.
Roper said that THE administrs-
ton is delighted to have this type
of service from business men TO help
on ALLEGATION of funds"
The Roosevelt machine rushed the
works bill through the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee yesterday
after attaching the anti-labor Rus
sell amendment to it. This amend
ment, which is a total denial of
union rates on the forthcoming
projects, reads: The President is
authorized to fix the rates of wages
of all persons compensated out of
funds appropriated by this Joint
resolution and may fix different
rates for various types of work,
which rates need not be uniform
throughout the United States" Even
the employer press admitted today
that this was "a defeat for labor"
William Green, PRESIDENT Of the
American Federation of Labor. said
that the substitute measure was
unacceptable and unsatisfactory to
labor"
Tightens Grip
In forcing through the amend
ment which grants not even pre-
vailing rates" in industry for the re-
lief workers, denying in every in
stance the local union wage scales,
Roosevelt, who has consistently de-
manded dictatorial powers of admin
istration of the fund and all its pro-
visions, will have in his hands the
living standards of the $500. 600
families to whom the bill applies.
Immediately that the bill was pre-
sented in the Senate, motion was
made which automatically sent the
bill over until tomorrow. Although
the bill today was not technically
before the Senate, Senator McCar-
ran of Nevada served notice that
he intended to push for the enact
ment Of the prevailing wage"
clause. This clause, however, does
not guarantee union scales, since in
some sections Of the country. no.
tably the South. $50 month or less
is termed the prevailing wage"
