JOBLESS COMMITTERS POTENT FORCE IN CIO EXPECT LEIS' SCHEME INCREASE IMON ROLLS JOBLESS WORKERS EXCUSED FROM PAYMENT OF DUES LABOR POLITICAL MACHINE SEEN IN MAKING WASHINGTON, April 36. The wiseacres, who nod their heads and whisper cheerfully that the new de pression will destroy the Committee for Industrial Organization, have not been wine enough to find out what John L. Lewis and his C.I.O. are up to. Unless appearances are exceed ingly deceptive. Mr. Lewis has dis covered a device for upsetting the old maxim that hard times are harder on labor organizations than anything else. In these last months, under the personal direction of Mr. Lewis, the C.I.O. succeeded In establishing "un employment committees' In every city where It hss strong unions, and In each of its unions' locals. Be cause Mr. Lewis and his advisers have not cared to publicize their achievement, the true significance of the new committees has been all but unanimously Ignored. They have been dismissed as just one more set of organized clamorera for more relief dollars. , Actually, they are nothing of the sort. 'They ni Mr: tewis device for coming out of the depression with more followers than he had when the depression started. They arc a skeleton political machine capable of great expansion. And, to the opti mistic Insiders of the C.I.O.. they are the beginnings of a labor move ment unlike any this country has seen. The history of the C.I.O.'s by now far-flung network of unemployment committees Is pretty fascinating. It begins at a time last fall, when Mr Lewis and certain of his advisers realistically concluded that a depres sion was upon them. They knew that the gains of the C.I.O. were boom -time gains, and they set them selves to finding some means by which the gains could be conserved. Mr. Lewis' first Invention was the 1 Off an. "every man has a right to a jDb." with which he keynoted at the C.I.O.'s Atlantic City meeting in October. The inemployment com mittee was chosen as the best way of bringing Mr. Lewis' slogan home to the mass of workers. The most Important step In the establishment of the committees was the C.I.O.'s adoption of a new rule, excusing unemployed union members from dues payments. Hitherto, the great majority of American unions (Continued on Page Six FOREIGNERSTAKING U. S. SLOT MACHINES WASHINGTON. April 26.

( AP) The British government Jolted the nation today by boosting the income tax from 25 percent to 27 y2 percent to help pay the costs of the staggering rearmament program. Sir John Simon, chancellor of the exchequer, in his annual budget speech before a shocked house of commons, announced the Income tax would be raised from five shillings In the pound to five shillings six ponce ( from S 1 .25 to 1 .37 In 5.00). Presenting the budget bill for the 1038-39 fiscal year (beginning April 1) Sir John announced the govern ment's total needs as 944.39S.000 pounds ($4,721,990,000), an Increase of 81.500.000 pounds (t407.500.000) over the previous ' year. Tea Oil Duties L'p The chancellor also announced an Increase In the duties on tea and oil. The higher tax on tea will reach into the pocket book of virtually every family In the la.nd, rich or poor. The higher Income and oil taxes also will nit most oi tsem. Simon dropped several other bomb shells, including the disclosure that the government secretly purchased early this year huge stocks of wheat. sugar and whale oil, sufficient to last through "the esrly months" of a possible war. The chancellor presented the na tion with the largest peacetime bud get In Its history.- v-. Financial quarters were disappoint ed. Leading shares declined sharply In after-hours trading. Brokers said details of Sir John's speech had "a most unsettling and disappointing effect." .Must Aluo Borrow The budget tncluded 253.250.000 pounds ($1,266,250,000) for arma ments expenditures, but this did not Include 90.000.000 pounds ( $450. 000.000) to be borrowed to meet ad ditional costs of the defense pro gram. (Britain Is In the second year of a five-year rearmament campaign of which the cost originally was set at 97.500.000 000. But Prime Minister Chamberlain already had declared this will not be enough, and inform ed quarters have estimated the even tual cost at 60 percent higher, or $11,250,000,000). The blow of the Income tax boost was softened somewhat by announce ment of a special exemption by which 2,000,000 small taxpayers will escape the increase. In the United Kingdom everyone who earns 150 pounds $(750) or more a year pays Income tax. But the tax will not be increased this year for single persons making up to 290 pounds ($1.3001 or for married men with one child earning up to 400 pounds ($2,000). Sir John warned that the "peak year of defense expenditure" would not be reached until next year and possible the year after. "Nothing could contribute bo much to the ultimate reduction of the bur den of taxation as an Increase In International good will and reduc tion of armaments," he said.

AKDKKY WASHINGTON, April 26. (AP) Governor Philip La Follette's call for a meeting of liberals at- Madison Wis., Thursday night Is exciting n lively Interest among legislators seek ing to ascertain the potential strength of a national third party. Although there Is little expecta tion that a new party would have country-wide Influence in this year's congressional elections, members of congress were divided over the ques tion of whether the time Is ripe for a poltlcal realignment. j Norrls Would Walt Senator Norrls Und., Neb.) asserted today that third party advocates , should hang back until It is deter- ! mined whether President Roosevelt will sek another term. "The president doesn't want . third term." Norris said, "but If a coalition of Democrats and Repub licans In congress succeeds In block- I Ing his measures, the people will in- j slst that he run again. "I think the formation of any third party should wait until we see whether we will have to run the president for another term." Representative O'Connell D., of Mont.) has contended that the Madi son conference would of fet an opportunity for llboorls to pledge support to the president for a third term. He said that If Mr. RoooeveU was not renominated by the Demo crats. It would he "very wise" for liberals to place him at the head of a new ticket. Time Seen Hlpe Senator O'Mahoney (D.. Wyo.) said the time Is ripe for a new party Such a trend has been developing for 20 years, he nald and a "re alignment of the political parties Is overdue." O'Mahoney said a third party might wield Influence in the 1040 elections, but asserted, that none could now predict what form a new organization might take. A highly-placed Republican, who declined to be quoted by name, ar gued that the La Follette meeting In dicates a drift of progressives away from the president. He recalled Governor La Follette's recent speeches criticizing adminis tration recovery policies, an address by Senator Robert M. La Pollette ( Prog., Wis.) opposing President Roosevelt's naval expansion bill and the vote of most Wisconsin Progres sives In tho house against the gov ernment reorganization bill.
