THE TAX MASTER i The National Industrial Cofer «i;ee Hoard ha« issued an extraor dinarily interesting comparison of the naion’s income and expetndi tures of rthe years 1929 and 1932. In the former year our income was $#1000,000,000. In the latter it was $39,000,000,000. Yet the cost of government rose from 7.8 per cent to 17.3 per cent of the total income. In 1932 we spent three times as much for government as for agri cultural products; seven times as much as wc spent for light, power and gas; twenty per cent more, than we spent for all manufaeturl ed products; twelve times as much | as we spent for metals. Aji idea, if the change may be gained from the fact that in 1929 gov j 'eminent cost us only a third as. much as we spent for inanufact-; ui i d i roduets, and cost a billion dollars than we spent for agri-j ♦netural commodities. Today it is reliably estimated1 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 fj^'e" day week ir* order to pay his share of hi expense. If htis wage is $25.0 da week, he gets but $20. 00 in reality—government gets the other $5.00, either d i r e c 11 y, through increasing the cost of all the necessities of life. The lax problem is as vital an L see a the American people ever faced. | SOMEBODY BLUNDERED Study of lie statistics reveals that a majority of he 758,500 auto mobile accidents in the United' States in 1933 occurred on j straight, dry roads in clear vveathei ^ and involved ears in good condition driven by persons of mature age—from 25 to 04. The majority ot the 30,000 deaths and 850,000 injuries iau.-t be attribut ed to blunders. A recent analysis by the Na tional Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters shows what the blunders were. There are 81 in all. 1. Drove too fast for conditions —this accounted for approximate ly three-fourths of all mishaps in 1933 assigned to driving blunders.1 2. Failed to slow down at inter sections. 3. Failed to keep to the right. 4. Tried to pass another car go ing in the same direction when view was obstructed. 5. Failed to slow down on ap proaching pedestrians. 6. Passed on the right of a pre ceding vehicle. 7. Ignored important traffic control devices. 8. Parked at dangerous spots. If drivers will obey the eight common sense rules suggested by these violations, the annual acci dent record can be reduced to a negligible figure. - A BABY For YOU? ” If you are denied the blessing of a baby all your own and yearn for a baby's arms and a baby's smile do not give up hope- Just write n confi dence to Mrs. Mildred Owens, 2509— Coates House, Kansas City, Mo., and she will tell you about a simple home method that helped her after being de nied 15 yrs.

STATE..J i ISTERNATIOHAL tabor DEFENSE LEADS TRADE UNION PROEST International Labor Defense Leads Trade Union Protest Delegation to Washington Pro testing Discrimination and Ar rest of Textile Workers Follow ing Strike Sell-Out. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Shifted around from Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins to Director of Conciliation Kerwin ami from him to newly appointed chairman of the new National Textile Labor Relations Board, Judge Walter P. Stacey, the International Labor Defense led a delegation of rep resentatives from the Trade Union Unity League, the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union, United Shoe and Leather Workers Union, Marine orkers Industrial Union, Taxi Drivers Union, Committee of the Protection of Foreign Born, the legal staff of the I. L. ; D., in protest against the whole sale discrimination of militant tex tile workers and continued arrests ji the textile areas, particularly in Georgia and iNortn Carolina. The delegation was greeted with a series of evasive promises of investigation into the matter ;.nd categorical statements from Judge Walter P. Stacey, a native son of North Carolina that nobody vas arrested in North Carolina except “for breaking the law.” This was in answer to the demand of the delegation that Svlvia Crouch and Belle Weaver arrested last week in. Gastoijia, N. C., and the nineteen textile workers in Shannon, Ga., and Athens, Ga., arrested last week and held under nilitary arrest, be immediately released. The statement presented to Frances Perkins, Director of Con* filiation Kerwin and Judge Stacey follows: “Madame Secretary: . “This labor delegation repre senting several hundred thousand workers organized, into trade in ions, was brought here by the Itemational Labor Defense, itself representing 200,000 members and affiliates, to protest against the wholesale discrimination and blacklisting practised against over 80,000 textile strikers all over the country and especially in the South. The strike was called off on the basis of the Winant Board Report, which was hailed by your self and President Roosevelt as a (sweeping victory’ for the textile wokrers. This ‘victory’ in reality has been the most complete be* trayal and defeat of the textile trikers who face starvation, un employment after thirteen weeks of militant strike struggle against the most brutal array of military, machine guns, armed hugs, force and violence ever seen in this country. “Sixteen murdered, the last vic tim, 18-year-old Leo Roulette, died in Woonsocket, It. 1., last Mon* day. Over a hundred were driven into a concentration camp in Georgia. Hundreds were arrested. Nine states had Nat’l. Guard out against the textile strikers. Fit' teen thousand troops were on ac tive duty, arrayed in federal U. S. Army equipment, against the textile strikers who demanded liv ing wages, decent hours, an enc to the brutal stretchout systeir and recognition of their union. “The International Labor De fense, which offered defense of al arrested textile strikers to the na tional strike committee in Wash ingon as well as to all local anc district strike committees, fron he first day of the strike protest ed against the use of armet forces, military and mercenary against strikers who were exercis ing their constitutional rights— the right to organize, strike and picket. “We propose for your im mediate attention and action thf following demands which we feel are in the inerests of the textile strikers: “1. That your department im mediately take steps to end the blacklisting and discrimination on the basis of union membership againt militant textile workers who were exercising their legal right to organize, strike, and pieke. “2. Complete withdrawal of all armed forces, police, special den sities, thugs, used againt textile ■workers. “3. Provision made for the un restricted right of textile work ers to organize into unions of ■their own choosing. “4. Arrest and punishment of all those responsible for the 16 murder during the three weeks of the strike. “5. Release of all those arrest ed, including Sylvia Crouch and Belle Weaver, in Gastonia, N. C., all those still held in Rhode Island under Governor Green’s PROF. L06AN FORSEES STRUGGLE OVER CONTROL OF HAITIAN FINANCES Atlanta, Ga., Oct 9—Special Next step ip the struggle of Haiti for self control will involve the man agement of the government finances, Rayford W. Logan, professor of his tory at Atlanta University, who spent his summer in the Haitian Republic, declared in a talk this week at Moore house College. Mr. Logan was an eye witness to the withdrawal of the United States Marines after a stay of 9 years on the island, and had op. vortunity to talk at length with Presi dent Stenic Vincent, regarding the situation in Haiti The coming struggle involves four factors: the National City Company of New York, mhich the government of Haiti owes $11,000,000; the Bank of Haiti, which is now owned and control led by the National City Company; the President and peo pleof Haiti, and. finally, the United States Government, which still maintains an American fi nancial representative there in the per son of Mr- DeLame, a resident of Lou siana. It is now proposed, Prof. l«ogan ex plained, that the United States relin uish its financial control, and that this control be placed in the hands of the Bank of Haiti, which under the plan would be sold by the National City Company to the government of Hai ti. The bank under this plan would be governed by a guard of six, two Hai tians appointed by the President of Haiti, two Americans selected by the President from a panel of five persons to be submitted by the National City Company, and two to be selected by the President from a panel submitted by the foreign bondholders’ protective council. Mr- Logan aontends that control by the American government is less ob ectionable than control by representa tives of private individuals. He be lieves with many other friends of Hai tian the United States that they can present these views to the American State Department and get favorable attention. Mr. Logan devoted his summeer to esearch in Haiti and the United States on the subject of Haitian-American re lations in preparation for the writ ing of a dissertation on the subject, which i3 to be offered as a require ment for his Ph D, at Harvard Uni versity. “How do tl account for the change.” he asked- Answemg hs own queston, he stated: “In 1926 the officers in command of the island were largely Southern white men. Today officers are largely men who have come from the Northern and Western (States. The Southern officers made the mis take of supposing the Haitians would be as docile as the Southern Negro. They forgot that Haiti had fought for 13 years to win their indepen dence, and through their own efforts had brought forth the one republic in the Western hemisphere where the black man was to be free.” The two men who more than any others brought conditons in Haiti to the attention of the outside world were men whose names would be for ever associatd with Atlanta Univer sity—James Weldon Johnson, of the class of 1894, who through his arti cles in the Nation first reported on oppression of the Haitians under Ame rican control, and Professor W- E. B. Dubois, who by his writings in the Crisis focused the attention of the American Negroes and their friends on the conditions in the island repub lic- ' 1 ! 1ST RESOLUTIONS REPORTED OUT AT A. F.

S. Supreme Court second Time. (Special to The Omaha Guide) NEW YORK — Announcement j that an immediate appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court will be taken n he Seottsboro case, was made by the International Labor Defense October 4, when the State Su* preme Cour of Alabama rejected a motion for re-hearing of the ap I peals in the ease of Iteywood Pat* terson and Clarence Norris. The state supreme court, in fe fusing to grant the re-hearing, set | i the dae for he execution of Pat terson. and Norris for December 7. Walter IT. Poliak, who brilliant lly defended the case of the Scot tsboro boys in the legal appeal ito the U. S. Supreme Court iri , 1932, when that body wos fore* led by world-wide pressure to . ' grant the boys a new trial, will 'be associated in the new appeal to the TJ. S. Supreme Court with Osmond K. Fraenkel, who has been in charge of the legal work connected with the appeals since the Decatur trial, it was announc* ed b ythe International Labor De* -fense. , The Best Talent In engaging Poliak, the Inter national Labor Defense is follow ing its policy of providing the best available legal talent for every step in the Seottsboro case. The retaining of Samuel S. Liebowitz, one of the most able trial law yers in the country, for the De catur_trials, was an earlier evi dence of this policy. Walter H. Poliak is considered the most expert constitutional at torney in the country, and the man therefore best fitted o pre* pare he appeals to the IT. S. Su preme Court, which will be taken on grounds of denial of constitu tional rights to the Seottsboro boys in heir trial, one of the most basic points to be raised being the systematic exclusion of Ne groes from Alabama juries. Mr. Liebowitz has never conducted such an appeal. It was after Mr Liebowitz had ! been informed of the decision to retian Mr. Poliak in the appeals, a spokesman for the International Labor Defense said, that Liebo* Witz made his announcement, last , week, that he was withdrawing 1 from the case—an announcement coupled with a vicious and unwar ranted attack upo the defender of the scottsboro boys, the Inerna tional Labor Defense. Mr. Liebowitz was informed of j the decision on Monday, Oct. 1, and made his announcement of withdrawal o Oct. 3, almost simul taneously with the announcement jof the third lynch-decision of the Alabama Supreme Court in the ease, setting the execution date for December 7.

Rosenblatt, division administrator of the NRA tried to head off some of the criticism to which the Roosevelt Administration ia being subjected at tha A. F. of L- convention in an ad dress delivered at the morning session, Oct. 5. “Last October, when addressing you in Washington." Rosenblatt declared M said that the National Recovery Administration is the greatest experi ment in practical Idealism ever con ceived in the minds of human beings Nothing that has transpired eirwfe then has caused me to change my mind. Rosenblatt said that great gains had been made and that the act and the codes presented truly scientific ap proach to the solution of industrial problems. A faint ripple of applause greeted some of his remarks. Prin cipal among these was the point at which he spoke af competition and appealed to organized labor not to let it be “competition based upon the de basement of labor,” or “competition to see who can make toil more hope less and unbearable for the wage-earn er” CONSERVATIVES AND PRO * GRESSIVES RUSH ON NEGRO ISSUE SAN FRANCISCO—(FT)— The first skirmish 'betwjeen progressive irvd conserative 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 Randopph of the Sleeping Car Porters advocating expulsion of “any union which viola tes the constitution of the American Federation of Labor by maintaining the color bar’ and which called for 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 ommended 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 tion. When an oral vote was taken on the acceptance of the Organization Committees recommendation, a thun derous ‘no ’ 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 sident Green appoint an investigat ing committee to report on the whole matter at next year’s convention.
