LABOR'S WORST ENEMY

Labors worst enemy today is Federal spending and
its allied evils debt and taxation Uncontrolled spending
accompanied by annual deficits of two to four billion
every job.
Last year 163 typical American companies, employ
ing 1854 workers. paid total taxes of $1643 900 900
the equivalent of $576 per empoye. This staggering
amount could not have been paid unless the companies
had trimmed operating costs to the bone That meant
fewer jobs and less wages
Moreover that part of government spending not
future And there is to make up but Americas
working middle class The fat has been sweated of
the rich If total income of all those receiving
100000 last year confscated by taxation would
pay cost of Federal for less than Is days.
according to American Taxpayers Association.
The solution to this problem lies in removing
politics from tax system. 1t sounds impossible but
until is done there be relief from reckless pot-
cal spending and the growing spectre of national bank
ruptcy.
American labor has a vital stake in the issue and
the to do something about it. Heretofore labor has
not been slow to seize opportunities for betterment By
demanding the removal of politics from taxation would
benefit not only itself but the nation.

Vice President Garner has laid

the primaries. The President has

Bad Check Artist
Given 9-Year Term
In Police Court
Longest Sentence Ever
Imposed by Curron Is
Melted to Fronk Smith
P. Wirephoto.

The dubious honor of receiving
the longest Jail sentence ever given
prisoner by Police Court Judge
Edward M. Curran-and one of the
longest. in Police Court history
went to Andrew Frank Smith, 30,
of 1887 Meridian place NV, today.
Judge Curran sentenced Smith to
charges of false pretenses for worth
less checks passed on local residents
since last spring. Smith had pleaded
guilty. The sentences are to run
consecutively.
The prisoner is known in police
circles as a professional paper
hanger"-bad check artist, and was
arrested last Friday by agents of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
and taken before the United States
attorneys Office for a hearing.
His police record, read in court
this morning by an. F. B. I: agent.
revealed that Smith was wanted by
Federal officials in Texas for viola
ton of probation allowed on a
charge of impersonating a Federal
officer. He also had served part of
a 2-to-20-year sentence at Leaven-
worth, Kans, on a local forgery
charge in that State, and was re-
leased on parole.
Washington police had been on
the lookout for Smith for several
months to answer false pretense
charges involving bad checks given
local businessmen and private cit
liens. However, papers for only nine
cases were filed in court today.
F. B. I. records showed that the
prisoner had passed Ill worthless
checks, all of small amounts, in
several States. Smith told Judge
Curran he had written more than
200 bad checks in his career and
that his purpose was to obtain
money to pay for medical treat
ments. The prisoner travelled over
most of the Eastern and Southern
States in the past. the F. B. I. agent
said. Smith at one time was con-
nected with Southern c. C. C..
camp, the sgent reported, and while
there obtained rubber stamp

allied Intervention "in force" would
appear "as deliberate enlarging of
the European conflict against the
expectations of Italy, which, after
having vainly worked at first to pre-
vent and then to malt the European
war, has tried up to nov by every
means at least to confine it within
its zone of origin"
The large staff, including eco
nomic experts, which accompanied
Won Ribbentrop was considered an
almost certain sign that discussions
would take place on German Italian
economic relations.
Two points which foreign observ-
ers regarded as likely to be consid-
cred were the possibility ttat Ser
many might supply more coal to
Italy by rail to compensate for the
British blockade of German sea eX-
ports and the possibility of Ger
many's diverting "ther of her export
trade which also has been hanlpered
by the blockade.

party factional dispute today left
only remote chance that State

vention delegates-pledged to Ma

yer as "favorite son" presidential
candidate-would be opposed in the

Mr.. Sawyer agreed to permit Ray
T. Miller, Cuyahoga County chair
man, to name all six delegates from
three populous Northern Ohio dis
tricts after Mr.. Miller threatened to
enter an opposition slate pledged to
former Senator Bulkley as a second
"favorite son."
Informed sources predicted Mr..
Miller would select Francis w. Poul-
son, former State Executive Com
mittee chairman, as a district dele
gate, thus ending Mr.. Poulson's
efforts to induce Postmaster General
Farley to seek a part of Ohio's So
convention votes.
Mr.. Poulson sought outside oppo-
sition to the organization delegate
slate after Mr.. Sawyer denied him a
place among the 16 delegates at
large
Mr.. Poulson said Mr.. Miller's VIC
tory in his fight with Mr.. Sawyer

though he indicated he would sup
port Mr.. Farley should the national

Tax Plan 10 Cut
Unemployment
Senator Would Give
Bonus to Employer Using
More Monpower

Congressional circles today mulled
over a new plan to attack unem-
ployment presented by Senator
OMahoney, Democrat, of Wyom-
ing, which would tax employers who
make more than average" use of
machine power and pay a bonus to
those who use greater ratio of
man power.
Senator OMahoney, chairman of
the Federal Monopoly Committee,
which has been making an exhaust
i've study of the Nations economic
system, said he would introduce the
bill today, although it was only in
tentative form.
: 11,936,000 Idle, C. 1. O. Says.
At the same time that Senator
O'Mahoney made public his pro-
posal, the c. I. o. estimated that
unemployment had reached H.
$4,000 in January and reported that
the country was still lowering on
the edge of very serious liquida-
ton and depression" The c. 1. O.
Economic Outlook" said the unem-
ployment estimate showed an in
crease of IA per cent over Decem-
ber. and was based on Government
figures and C. I. o. union reports
Declaring the downward trend of
employment could not be permitted
to go on without eventual disaster,
Senator OMahoney added in a
statement:
Il believe that Congress, by a
simple law, can create such an in
centive for the private employment
Of labor that we can speedily put
an end to our difficulties"
Percentages Not Determined.
Although he had not determined
the percentages to be used, his pro-
posal was this:
To tax labor differential income"
gross income minus the cost of
raw materials and salaries paid
(under $4,000 year,. Against the
tax the employer could credit a per-
centage of the total wages cost. If
this credit was greater than the tax,
the employer would be eligible for
bonus based on total wages paid
Senator OMahoney said the bill
was so written that society will re-
ceive the maximum benefit from the
full employment" of both men and
machines.
Another DEVELOPMENT was an an
nouncement from the Conference of
Unemployment, group of House
Democrats, Republicans. Farmer
Laborites and Progressives, that it
had grown from nucleus of "a to
so members and had set up subcom-
mittees to develop different phases
of fundamental" attack on un-
employment before Congress ad-
journed.
