THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. XXXVIIL, NO. 5839. JUNEAU ALASKA SATURDAY OCTOBERj 1931 LABOR CHIEF CRITICISING U. S, WEALTH President G?en Attacks System by Which a Few Accumulate MILLIONS STARVING IN LAND OF PLENTY Makes Suggestions for Im-| provement of General Conditions CK MADE. ON AMERICAN SYSTEM VANCOUVER, B. C, Oct. 3.— Alleviation of the condition which allows a country of great wealth to contain millions of unemployed was discussed by Willlam Green, President of the American Feder- ation of Labor at the concluding session of the Metal Trades Depart- ment, prior to the holding of the convention of Labor next week. President Green was critical of the system which permitted a few to accumulate wealth while mil- | lions faced starvation in a land of | plenty. | The Labor chief asserted the dis- | tribution, on the annual returns of the country’s wealth, was unsound, in referring to the United States, unless that few, which accumulat- ed this wealth, could find some! means of maintaining employment throughout the country. 3 President Green :declared this wealth ought to be returned to the country In the form of .increased taxes and he suggested an in- creasing inheritancé tax, income tax’ and. excess profits-tax as a means towards this end. — e DEMOCRAT 1S CHOSEN FROM | ILL.

A new law, passed by congress, provides for a percentage of, alco- hol in motor fuel.

This is seen in reports of im- portant copper producers of the world who will send representatives here for a conference. It is indicated, from the reports to the copper trade here, that there is a real willingness. on the part of representatives of foreign copper !producers in seeking a solution of the problem of over-production. s e A Los Angeles man has invented a home vacuum cleaner to be op- erated by the regular water system of a house, taps being installed in all rooms and the dust being car- ,ried away in sewer pipes. 1S SHOT DOWN | GREAT DAMAGE DONE IN RIOTS {Looting of Shops Rages for Two Nights and One Day in Glasgow DEMONSTRATION OVER REDUCTION OF DOLES Authorities Finally Take Drastic Measures— Many Arrests GLASGOW, Scotland, Oct. 3.— The most vindicative rioting and looting in years, extending over two nights and cne day, came to a climax when the police swept the streets clean and restored order. Starting at about 8:30 o'clock last night, a battle between jobless men demonstrating against dole reduc- tions, and the forces of the law, began and waged for more than six hours. An undetermined number of riot- ers and several police were injured. Upwards of 100 arrests were made. The melee began when the po- lice charged about 100 men holding a manifestation outside a jail in which John McGovern, Member of Parliament, and his lieutenants were being held for last Thursday night's outbreak. Almost simultaneously, trouble started at Gallow Gate, Glasgow Cross and other sections of the sity. As fast as the demonstrators were driven off the main streets they: darted into alleys and formed for renewed atatcks. Damages estimated at thousands of pounds was done. The loss to foodstuffs in attacks on shops is not estimated but is large.

CLEVELAND IS FAVORED CITY, BOP. MEETING Republicans May Probably/ Choose Ohio City for Convention WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct Republican leaders are considering advancing to early December, be- fore Congress meets, the selection of the city where the party's 1932 Presidential candidate will be chosen.
