YOLETIDE PLEA SOUNDED FOR MILL STRIKERS Thousands Will Go Without Cheer in Virginia City Unless Aid Comes. /,< .'r-tnpx.ffoirirri X i'te*T>'ii>er AlUntire NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—Tie followig fcopeal to the nation was .oundea here Today by a gtfoup of well-known liberals: “We are faced in Danville, VaL, " ith one of the strange contradictions of our industrial struggles. The public believes that there should be no violence, yet when no violence occurs, the public promptly forgets *he strike. “Since Sept. 29 there has been a strike in progress there because the workers were not allowed to form an organization for the betterment of their industrial condition. Workers who had been in the mill for many years were discharged for no other reason than that they had become members of the union. Workers Keep Faith Four thousand workers have kept the faith with the public ideal of a peaceful strike and peaceful picketing, even when police and state constabulary were brought In. The comparatively slight disturbances which have taken place have been exaggerated grossly and show evidence of outside interference. “Now Christmas is almost here. These brave workers still are out fighting against hunger and cold, and now; face eviction. They are truggling for the right of all American citizens, the right to unite to better their conditions. “From the first, wages did not allow for savings, so that the need for food and clothing was immediate. With more courage and vision than was warranted by returns, these brave people have fought a good fight, and still are carrying on. Funds Are Sought “Surely we won't leave their Christmas barren, their children hungry and cold and comfortless. Between fifteen and twenty thousand persons arc involved.) However we may feel, the 7,000 children should have their Christmas. A $5 Christmas basket for each of the 4,000 workers on strike would insure this. “Send your bit for the Christmas basket fund to National Women’s Trade Union League, 308 Machinists’ building. Ninth and Mt. Vernon place, N W., Washington, D. C.” The appeal is signed by Miss Mary E. Dreicr, Bishop Charles Gilbert, Mrs. Henry Goddard Leach. Mrs. Daniel O’Day, Clarence E. Pickett and Dr. Worth Tippy. TAX FIGURES INCREASED Assessments Hiked 521.409.393 in 42 Counties by State Board.

SNIP RED TAPE TO SPEED WORK AND GIVE JOSS New Public Works Law to Aid Industry Materially, Says Woods. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER I nited Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1930. by United Presj/ WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—The new additional public works law enacted by congress and signed by President Hoover will have a material effect in reducing unemployment and stimulating purchases, in the opinion of Arthur Woods, chairman of the President’s emergency committee on employment. “With this additional opportunity,” Woods said in an interview, “and with all the co-operation cf all federal branches, together with the help of state and local authorities, v;e soon should .witness a material result in the absorption of unemployed and in the stimulation of purchases of building materials which will be involved. Work to Slash Rod Tape “All branches of state and municipal governments throughout the country are working together to slash the red tape which is impeding their own public works projects. “The result will be that a great program of public works will be pushed forward into production and jobs created to help meet the present emergency.” Beginning his third month on his job today, Woods practically has completed his organization. He has brought in men from key industries and selected them so that the various sections of the country are represented. Woods and many of his assistants serve without pay. “We have a total of $271,000,000 worth of federal construction in the mill now,” Woods said. “Formerly work of this kind moved as slowly as cold molasses. It was held up by red tape. Co-operation Is Obtained “Now we have the co-operation of the supervising architect, the treasury department, the attorney-gen-eral and leading committee chairmen in congress such as Senator Smoot. “Our trouble is with red tape in the law.” Woods then spoke of pending legislation which would cut this red tape as it applies to litigation on lands selected as sites for public buildings, and the sending to private concerns of work on specifications.
