In July he headed a movement to defeat a forced labor project which the Mlinois Relief Commission sought to put over on the jobless of Southern Illinois. At that time he was acting secretary of the Un- employment Council. Like most working class leaders of his genuine revolutionary type, he isn't ‘strong on autobiography. Ask him about himself and all he can tell you without digging deep into his memory is that he was born in Kinmundy, IDL, on Oct. 2, 1900, that his father was a native of Nebraska, his mother a native of Illinois and that he has a high school education. | He started work in the mines at | Witt when he was 16 and continued in the industry.

The letter came in reply to a communication sent to the Depart- men; by the A. W. U. and signed by J. Wilson, national organizer, following the exposure in the Oc- tober issue of the Auto Workers’ News that the killing in the Ford Plant on June 18 had not been re- corded in the Department's acci- dent statistics for June. In its reply to the A-W.U., signed by G. A. Tracy, statistician, the La- bor Department states: “Unfortunately, we have been compelled to discontinue the monthly accident reports.

The Auto Workers’ Union has sent a sharp letter of protest at the discontinuance of the accident statistics. The let‘er suggests that if a tax were imposed on the profits 7.—Against the sales tax; no taxes on persons, or their property, earning less than $3,000 per year; steeply graduated and greatly increased taxation on the rich. 8.—Against Roosevelt's war preparedness program; against im- perialist war; for the defense of the Soviet Union and Soviet China.

Considering the growing develop- ment of the Jewish Autonomous Province of Biro-Bidjan into a thriving and happy community in the light of further economic, so- cial and cultural improvements, the Council decided on a number of supplementary privileges which will be given. to the collective farmers on the Biro-Bidjan collectives, be- side those which are already in force for the population of the Far Eastern Region—exemption of grain deliveries for ten years, reduction of the rate of delivery of meat, po- tatoes, etc., ete. ae According to these supplementary privileges collective farms. and farmers of the Jewish Autonomous Province are fully exempt from the obligations of any deliveries of meat and milk for one year from the time of their settlement. Moreover, the cow given to each settling fam- ily may be paid out in long-term credits to the agricultural bank. These long-term credits will like- wise be afforded to collective farms in order for them to acquire work- ing cattle. With a view to increasing the crop yield it was decided to carry out a good deal of drainage work in the Province, also to establish a special machine tractor station for rendering virgin soil arable and for providing irrigation for dry. dis- tricts. It is also planned that for 1935 Biro-Bidjan is to build a number of industrial enterprises, such as brick-fields, knitting and sewing factories, plywood mills, new print- ing works, etc., etc. here.
