Tax Strike Urged in Southeast
If improvements Are Refused

A threat to refuse payment of
taxes. If certain public improvements
are not made in the Southeast section
of the city, was made in 5000 hand
bills circulated yesterday by the
Southeast Business Mems Associa-
ton.
In glaring red ink, an 18-point
program of suggested improvements
was laid before Southeast citizens by
the 1875 business men who are men,
bers of the association. Led by Clar-
ence F. Donohoe, the associations
president, the business men warned
residents of Southeast Washington OF
the impending tax mutiny" with this
message: Before you pay your taxes
demand these improvements"
An extensive advertising and pub
licity campaign to place Southeast
Washington on a par with other sec
lions of the city in obtaining its pro-
portionate share of District tax ap-
propriations for public improvements
Is to be launched in Washington
newspapers, the circular stated.
A spokesman of the association
reached last night at his home. said
the association at its last meeting
raised the subject and threatened to
refuse to pay taxes unless these i'm
provements are made in the near
future. The Southeast section has
been made the "slums Of Washington
by not receiving its share of District
tax appropriations. 1t was said.
The handful, in asking for funds
to support the drive, points out that
Congress will be asked to enact legis-

missioners to carry out their 1s-point

suit unless we get these improve
mentS," Donohoe said.

will ever again put over the old idea

Democracy means. The New Deal
seeks to give more security to 5000
people, and not concentrate all the
blessings to a small group, as has
been done in the past. That is the
essence of the New Deal" He de-
clared the only safe course would be
to maintain the leadership Of the
President.
The public printer referred with
feeling to his mother, who was pres
ent. Turning to her, Giegengack said
he wished publicly to share the hon.

the existing code to determine where
it is in need of revision to meet
changing conditions.

In advocating the study of court
procedure, the Senator said one OF
the questions. he has in mind is to
determine where the line should be
drawn as between Federal and Dis
trict cases. He said he would have
the survey cover both the District
Supreme Court and Police Court.

is all right as it now stands" the SEN

District was classified. There was
included in that volume also for the

THOMAS ASSA|LS
SECURITY PLAN
Socialist Tells Unemployed
How Relief Wages Will
Break Scale.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's social security
program was called an insecurity pro-
gram" yesterday by Norman Thomas,
former Socialist candidate for Presi-
dent, in an address here before a
national convention of the unem-
ployed.
The group yesterday opened a
three-da session at the headquarters
of the Plasterers and Cement Finish
ers' Union, No. Sc, 1924 New Jersey
avenue.
Urging the jobless to organize and
demand union wage scales for the
pendings works bill, Thomas sug-
gested unemployment indemnity" for
those who cannot be absorbed by
public work,
The President cannot meet the
needs of the unemployed solely by pub
lie works" he said. The appropria-
ton he requests. huge as it is, will
be inadequate; his plan for a wage
less than the prevailing rate will break
wage standards and destroy unions.
His unemployment insurance plan
means nothing to those now unem-
ployed and is so inadequate and I'M
workable as to jeopardize the whole
idea.
Outlines Program Ideas.
II urge these points: First, In
sistence on public works, especially
housing, on basis equivalent in terms
of annual income at least to the pre-
vailing rate of wages. Housing alone
should receive an initial appropria-
ton of 100000 900. -
There must also be unemployment
insurance, or indemnity for those who
cannot be absorbed by public work.
The best bill before Congress Is the
Lundeen bill, which, however, should
like to see worked out in more de-
tail"
Relief Methods Assailed.
Assailing present relief methods,
Thomas said:
Nowhere is the situation worse
than in the cotton country. Neither
from the Federal nor State government
in Arkansas has it been possible to
get tents for evicted sharecroppers, or
enough food. Leaders of the unem-
ployed, Horace Bryan jr., and Claude
Williams, who dared to protest at Fort
Smith, Ark, are in jail, convicted on
the absurd charge Of barratry and the
court is making difficulty about their
release on bail"

ing over the convention. He reported
