Showdown Seen


PEIPING, June 2 G.N.S0.
What Japanese sources suavely
call the present situation" in
North China neared possible
showdown today as Chinese Off
Gals fearfully perused reports of
Japan's combined fleet reorgani-
cation and newly arrived Nip
poneSe troop reinforcements set
tied at strategic points.
Announcement at Tokyo of
third squadron additions to
Japan's air and sea forces action
similar to that taken nearly five
years ago when bullets whined
through Shanghai-was followed
Immediately by reports that
Markings generalissimo, Chang
Kai-Shek, and Gen. Sung Cheh-
Yuan, would confer on military
matters.
Resignation Reported
It also was reported General
Sung resigned as chairman of the
Hopei Chahar political council
which a few months ago estab-
lished a semiautonomouS govern
ment in the two northern prov.
inces under Japanese auspices,
and virtually divorced from
Marking.
Sung's twenty-ninth route army,
it was said, is contemplating prep
arations to oppose Japanese &C.
tivities in north China "in certain
eventualities."
At Tientsin the situation was
aggravated by the defiant return
to his post of Mayor Hsiao Chen
King from Peiping despite Japa-
neSe demands that he resign.
japanese Annoyed
Meanwhile, to the intense an
noyance of the Japanese, Chinese
students in this area went on q
three-day strike in protest against
the Japanese garrison reinforce
mentS.
The japanese repeatedly have
demanded that such anti-Japa-
nese student demonstrations be
stopped, and today officials were
awaiting the next move of Japan's
military commanders on the con-
tinent with grave anxiety.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Delay tactics by the British gov
ernment did a great deal, it is re-
corded, to strengthen the opposition
of the employers at Geneva to this
and long overdo reform.
The various activities undertaken
by the general council in order to press
on the authorities the policy of the
trade union and labor movement for
the relief of unemployment are given
in careful detail.
Organizing activities of the general
council have found fruit, it is noted,
in great consolidation of the forces
of the movement.
Recruitment campaigns conducted
with more and more efficiency as the
modernization of technique begins to
take effect, have proved almost uni
formly successful. The full effect of
these efforts still remains to be seen
but there is certainly no doubt about
the revival of enthusiasm which dis
tinguished them.
On the topic of coal, the general
council proposes that the industry
should be brought under public own
ership, and that British coal corpor-
alton, working solely in the public
interest, should be formed to direct
and control the industry.
The proposals, which have been cir.
culated in full, in pamphlet form, tx
affiliated organizations, have beer
approved by the executive committee
of the labor party, and will come be
fore the party conference in October
Electricity distribution, and the film
quota, are other subjects with which
the general council have dealt during
1.-THE year under review.

THE LATEST "UNCONSTITU-
TIONAL" PLEADING

The New York, Westchester q Bos-
ton Railway CO. has petitioned the
federal court in New York to declare
the railway labor act unconstitutional.
and to enjoin Y. S. Attorney Lamar
Hardy from enforcing the penalties
Of the act against the Westchester.
1t would be hard to get q better
illustration Of the crazy and vicious
plan now in force, of letting any
predatory outfit sue in any federal
court to have an act passed by con-
gress and signed by the president de-
clared unconstitutional.
The Westehester IS in many ways
the prize example Of graft as applied
to the railroads. 1t starts nowhere
and ends in nothing 1t was started
by a group Of Tammany grafters, who
intended to sell it at its nuisance
value They did. They sold it to the
New Haven when that road was cursed
with control by the House Of Morgan,
exercised through Charles S. Mullen,
the control which utterly bankrupted
the New Haven, until then one Of the
most steadily prosperous roads in
America.
Obsessed, as always, with the idea
Of monopoly, and hoping to get a
transportation monopoly Of New Eng
land, j. P. Morgan the Elder got the
New Haven to buy the Westchester
at price which figures out between
$1,8oo,ooo and $2,0o0Oo0 per mile,
The Westchester never has paid, and
never was expected to pay except in
nuisance value.
Now this road, conceived in sin and
born in iniquity, IS trying To inyali-
date an act which railroad manage
ments and railroad workers joined in
asking congress to pass, and which,
for ten years, has preserved almost
perfect industrial peace on our steel
highways. Should one laugh, or weep !?

Of the dangers arising from new de-
velopments and devices in industry.
Probably they are right. There is
usually a life cost for industrial prog
ress. The flint workers Of the Gro
Magnon period doubtless cut their
fingers frequently when chipping
flint; but they inhaled no noxious
fumes and were in no danger of be-
ing burned by molten metal. When
they passed from flint to bronze and
iron, they incurred new dangers at
their new work.
But this life cost can be abolished
by modern science, if modern industry
can be induced or compelled to pay
the price That price is by no means
high. The u. S. Public Health Service
has figured recently that a good many
industrial hazards can be brought to
the vanishing point by an expenditure
averaging about $12 per worker per
year; and that the savings to the in
dustry itself would return handsome
profits. Other industries are more
difficult 10 make safe; but ways are
known already to make a good deal

7 Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

1t seems there is some dispute about
the taxes on corporation surplus
funds.
1t seems there are some people who
don't think the corporations ought to
be taxed that way.
Well, there always have been some
people who didn't think the corpora
tions ought to be taxed at all.
Prominent in the list have been the
corporations themselves, their officers
and their hired lawyers.
/ Why shouldn't the corporations be
taxed on their surplusses?
Why not tax him who can best
afford to be taxed?
| When corporations can pile up huge
lsurplus funds not subject to taxation
they do what corporations were doing
in 1929.
| They pile up heaps of money out
of use, or they use it to pyramid cor
poration on top Of corporation, like
the insult pyramid
Does anybody remember the Insult
example?
Does any body remember Electric
Bond & Share?
Ever since taxes came into be-
ing the big fat boys have kicked
about paying their share, pro
rata and they have been will
ing to pay plenty of money to
elect good friends to help them
escape taxation.
1t has been cheaper that way.
What's all the shouting about to-
day? Why, it's just the same old
story.
The same old squawk from the
House of -too-much against
toting fair with the rest of the people.
Many corporate surplus has been
turned into an arsenal to fight labor
too.
/ Yes, it seems there are some people
who think the poor corporations are
being taxed too high
| They forget that the little ones are
being helped by being taxed more
lightly.
It's graduated, like the income
tax.
| But sycophants never will be grad
uated from sycophancy.
There's something about the little
brothers of the rich that they never
get over. They can't seem to change
the relationship, although some learn
how to get more out of it.
Life is funny that way
But there is every indication that
it isn't as easy to fool the people about
these things as it once was.
The story goes around that corpora
tions are putting up signs in stores
to scare people with figures on how
much they are paying as taxes in the
price of their meat and bread.
There goes another piece Of political
fakery.
Corporations that play such tricks
forget this:
Nobody has to buy bread that has
. corporation propaganda wrapped
) around it.
/. Nobody has to buy meat from a
butcher counter behind which there
is corporation propaganda placard
The thing has a purpose, of course

Inquiry is Asked

that the threats Of the steel compan-
les are losing their terrors; for in

Most Of these towns have given
republican majorities of two to one

he is going to vote for Roosevelt.

STEEL COMPANIES
HIRE GUNMEN
And Attempt to Coerce
Voters

Washington, d. C. (ILNS) Two
stories, both telling of actions typical
of the steel industry, have reached
Washington from Pennsylvania.
First is the hiring of gunmen by
the Standard Steel Spring Co., Cora
opolis. The workers at the plant are
striking for higher wages and shorter
hours. Before the strike had been in
progress two days, the company hired
25 'watchmen," and took them into
the plant between II o'clock and mid
night.
Officials of the steel workers organ
izing committee went to the sheriff
of Allegheny county to charge that
these hired men were gunner, and
that there was no possible use for
them except to shoot strikers. The
sheriff was absent His chief dep
uty said that the company was within
its right" to hire "watchmen," but
that they had not received any author
ity from the sheriff, and so could ex-
ercise no functions outside the plant
Political Coercion Charged
There is hope that the prompt dis.
covery Of the trick and the vigorous
protest against it may make the com.
pany cautious in using its hirec
thugs.
The other typical steel proceeding
| is the pressure which several of the
steel companies are putting on THEN
workers for political purposes. Davic
