<~ Bas béen MDONALD SPEEDS ACTION IN CRIS: “Going to See It Through” Despite Demands for Resignation. By the Associated Press. LONDON, August 31.—Prime Min- ister Ramsay MacDonald flew down from Lossiemouth today to take up the task of his new national government where he left off Friday. Reiterating his pledge to steer the emergency cabinet through the finan- cial crisis, he made it clear that he has no intention of submitting to the de- mand of his constituents in Seaham Harbor that he resign from the House of Commons. “I am going to see it through,” he said. “There is no time for delay and I do not intend that any time should be_wasted.” His pilot brought him from Lossie- mouth to the Hendon Airdome in 10 minutes less than the usual time for the run and the prime minister went immediately to his office. Get Down to Business. ‘The “Big Ten,” as the newspapers are beginning to call the cabinet, got down to the business of its $600,000,000 economy program soon afterward. It received the reports of two com- mittees, one of which outlined economies and the other a schedule of pending business in Parllament. Its threefold task includes reduction of budget ex- penditures, increase in budget revenue during this financial year, and estab- lishment of conditions to insure a balanced budget for the next fiscal year The drastic economles contemplated cannot contribute much in the way of relief this year, and it is believed that an immediate increase in taxation is necessary to avoid a deficit next March in the budget which Chancellor Snow- den introduced last April. This indi- cates that the first measure which Parliament will be asked to consider at its special session baginning September 8 will be a supplementary budget with new taxation to be effective imme- diately. Speculation has ranged over a wide fleld of possible new levies. One view is that most of the main sources of tax revenue will bz drawn upon more heavily—the income tax, the super tax, the death duties, and the taxes on beer and wine, tobacco, gasoline and enter- tainment | Labor Leader Resigns. It also has been suggested that the so-called McKenna duties will b2 boos!- ed above the present 33' per cevt. | These are the duties which affect im- ported automobiles, films, musical in- struments, clocks and watches. While he was on the way from Scot- land, J. H. “Jim” Thomas, one cf the few Labor cabinet ministers supporting the new government, broke with the National Union of Railwaymen after a lifetime association. The union demanded his resignation from the national cabinet and Mr. ‘Thomas, asserting that such an action would brand him as a coward and a cad, resigned from the leadership of the union instead. In his formal letter of resignation, he described the step as the most painful task of his life and recalled that sirce he was 11 years old and an engine cleaner in the railway yards his record was one of unbroken service to the union. He was almost in tears as he an- nounced his resignation at his office. It is doubted whether one session of the cabinet will be enough for tce job and there may be several additional meetings during the week. Mr., MacDonald talked with the press in Lossiemouth yesterday in an opti- mistic strain. He said he had received many letters from unemployed Socialists and that 90 per cent of them realized the nation's need and expressed their willingness to share any sacrifices that would pull it through. “It isn't the Socialists who stand in our path,” he said, “it is a section of the Trade Unionists which is opposing us. They do ot realize the moral force of our appeal to the country and they do not realize that unless some- thing is done the poor will be in dire need.” Opposition Is Scored. Newspapers favorable to the govern- ment corroborated Mr. MacDonald’s determination to carry his measures through and the Mail said that if necessary it would be done by orders in council as far as such powers exist, a procedure which would not require immediate sanction by Parliament. The Sunday Observer, headed “Good- bye, Mac,” said that Seaham Harbor, his own constituency, which called on as a whole would not. “His own part of the island ought to be more proud of Mr. Ramsay Mac- Donald than of any other Scotsman alive,” the paper said. “and, although he probably will take a long rest after the dissolution, some Scottish constitu- ency ought to elect him without con- test or stipulation. His exclusion from Parliament is unthinkable and his re- turn is assured one way or another. England will see to_ that if Scotland fails.” The Daily Herald said an important assurance company mobilized foreign investments totaling about $500,000.000 Jast week and offered them to the Bank of England to be used in stabilizing the pound sterling. This move played a decisive role in speeding up the $400,- 000,000 loan from France and the United States, it was sald. 0IL GUARD ORDERED T0 “SHOOT TO KILL” Incendiary Fires, Damaging Two Buildings at Kilgore, Tighten Patrol on Shutdown. By the Associated Press. KILGORE, Tex., August 31.—In- structed to “shoot to kill,” National Guardsmen today patrolled this mush- | Tocm oil town, secking to prevent a re- currence of incendiarism which yester- cay resulted in damage to two build- ings. The troopers, beginning their third week of guard duty in the huge East Texas oil and gas field, list night brought suspects to the police station for questioning. Two men were held. Flaming bundles of gasoline-soaked rags yesterday were dragged from two buildings which were slightly damaged by fire. A combination morgue and rooming house and a grain warehouse were the seventh and eighth buildings here to suffer from incendiarists’ torches Six fires occurred the provious Sun- day, flames razing the town's two churches. Brig. Gen. jacob F. Woiters commanding State troops enforcing a martial law shutdown of oil and gas wells in the area, blamed ‘“reds” for th:] conflagrations. Gen. Wolters. who issued the “shoot- | to-kill” instructions, today also was concerned with plans for the expected partial reopening of the oil field of which Kilgore is the center.
