a = SOVIET RUSSIA SHOWS BIG GAIN IN 1924 OUTPUT Kellogg Is Expected to Ask Recognition WASHINGTON, D. C., March 5,—In- formation that the industrial output of Soviet Russia for 1924 was $788, 760,000, or a gain of 25 per cent over the previdus year-has made Coolidge administration politicians sit up and take notice, COOLIDGE DEFENDS MILEJONAIRE “TAX DODGERS INS By LELAND OLDS (Federated Press Industrial Editor) President Coolfdge's broadside against the federal inheritance tax as social- istic calls attention to the immense wealth concentrated in the small minority he represents. The inheritance tax returns suggest that he is ready to brand as socialism any attempt to curb a hereditary oligarchy of multimillionaires. Only about 1 per cent of the persons over 25 years of age who died in 1923 left over $50,000, the lower limit of estates subject to the tax. There were 13,013 such estates with an aggregate value of $2,494,978,471. Huge Concentration Shown, These estates of the well-to-do min- ority were touched by the federal tax collector by only 2% per cent of their gross value, the entire tax collected Masses Wade ' Thru Rain to Protest Frame-up NEW YORK, March 5—Throngs of men and women of the working class waded thru a heavy rain to attend the Sacco-Vanzetti mass meeting at the Central Opera House Sunday af- ternoon and Tenewed their pledge of | Your Union Meeting | THIRD FRIDAY, FEB. 20, 1925, by the’ government $68,090,266, But the concentration of wealth in a few hands is much® more serious than these figures for the group show, and Coolidge evidently feels called up- on to speak for the small fraction of @ per cent of those dying who leave millionaire estates. The 13,018 estates included in 1923 returns may be grouped: The Russian Review also reports that the state bank is increasing its capital to $50,000,000 and the bank for foreign trade is increasing its capl- tal resources to $15,000,000.

Congress Prepared to Adjourn Until ...

We suggested this method to enable the DAILY WORKER to reach the circulation of other great Communist newspapers. As the words were on the press we received a story by Wm. Minte of Los Angeles on a large local department store with an order for 500 copies, to be distributed to the employees. This story headed: “May Co. Begins Big Wage Slash In Los Angeles” went on the front page of the issue of March 4, because of its importance and for greater. effect- iveness. Without solicitation, these comrades in Los Angeles and the author of the article in particular, realize the importance of this splendid pro- paganda method. They hit exactly om the one way that as much as any other, will build not only our DAILY WORKER but our Workers (Com- munist) Party as well. We offer this method to other BUILDERS of the Communist move ment, to locals and DAILY WORKER Committees to “paste in their hat” for immediate use as “sure-fire” ways of making the DAILY WORKER in the second year of its existence a greater weapon, to gain a stronger Communist foot-hold in the stronghold of world capital, SHOP NUCLEI ARE HARD AT WORK IN MORE CITIES Find Work Among Min- ers at Orient and Dowel Union Oil Syndicate Reports Sale of 75,000 navy.

OMAHA LISTENS TO ‘INDEPENDENT THINKERS”* THOTS Workers Decide That They’re Neither OMAHA, Nebr., March 5.—The com plete bankruptcy and death of both the so-called socialist and LaFollett« movements was strikingly demonstrat ed when J, L. Beebe and Pater Meh: rens, LaFolletite and socialist respec tively, reported to, the Omaha Inde pendent Club last Monday evening on the Chicago convention and burial of the C. P. P,.A. Both Beebe and Mehrens allowed themselves to sink into the mud and attack the Communists, but Mehrens ‘| showed that he is at least sincere and has some little respect for the truth. While Beebe stated that the conven tion represented “the greatest gather ing of independent thinkers in the history of America,” Mehrens declared that it was “the grandest aggregation of political tricksters and horse trad ers he had ever been among.” Has Enuf But Wants’ More. While Beebe pretended enthusiasm for the “new third party” Mehrens stated that he had enuf of the “bank upt middie class” and would stick by the socialist (!) party. Not realizing that they already made themselves appear more than suffici- 7 ently ridiculous, these gentlemen then Tons of Oil to France} tauncnea into silly attacks on the Communists to further prove their complete lack of both myental and moral decency.
