HAVE FAILED IN AMERICAi "British Labor on the Threshold of Power", will be the subject of an ad- dress to be given by Paul Blanchard '14, at 4:15 o'clock this afternoon in1 the Natural Science auditorium. Mr Blanchard is field secretary of the 1 League of Industrial Democracy and author of the book, which is to make its appearance sometime next month entitled "An Outline of the British La-5 bor Movement". In his recent lecture in Detroit Mr Blanchard declared that American in- dividualism was the cause for the 'failure of the workingman in this country to reach the prominence in. govelrning power that the workingman has reached in England. He further stated that the Americans are neces- sarily violent, whereas the British people have a reverent respect for the law. This fact he asserted, has help-I ed to gain for the Labor party in Eng- land the prestige that it now pos- sesses. Mr. Blanchard, while at Michigan won first place in a number of ora- torical contests both local and inter- collegiate. He was also a Varsity de- bater. After graduating from the! University, he took up post graduate work in Harvard and Columbia. While studying at Harvard, he became as- sistant pastor and later, pastor of the Maverick Congregational church in East Boston.I Leaving the church during the war he worked first in the shipyards of Jersey City and later as an organ- izer of the league to enforce peace In the summer of 1919 he turned def- initely to labor work and became or-: ganizer for the Amalgated Textile Workers of America in Utica, N. Y Later he, joined the Amnalganmatedl Clothing Workers at Rochester, N. Y. and in the fall of 1920 was appointed educational director. During the same time he served as the secretary of the Rochester labor college. Mr. Blanchard has written numer- ous pamphlets and educational arti- cles on labor, and during the sunimer of 1923, studied labor conditions in England and on the continent.. An open forum will also be con- ducted by Mr. Blanchard under the auspices of the Men's club of the Con- gregational church at 7:30 o'clock to- night at that church. The address and the open forum are both open to the public. Glee Club Sings ' I1 V'rha i Tn ;af1 TO WORK ON TAX MEASURE Washington, Jan. 23.-(By AP)-! House Republican leaders continuedj their efforts to reach a compromise basis on the sur-tax rates of the Mel- lon tax bill despite renewed indica- tions from the white house that President Coolidge was determined to accept modification in this feature of the treasury revenue measure, con- sidered the crux of the tax reductionI scheme.' Tax revision was discussed at to. - day's cabinet meeting and afterwardI it was made plain that the president was squarely behind the Mellon plan and its principals and would! agree only to amendments designed tok perfect it. There were intimations I that Mr. Coolidge would regard any1 sur-tax rates above 25 percent as urg- ed by Secretary Mellon, as a change in the fundamental principles of the Mellon bill and a basis for a veto of' a tax measure. Representative Longworth, of Ohio, Republican floor leader, reiterated that his interest in the new tax bill ' was tie framingof a measure which would pass in the house. Adaption, of the Mellon suggestion for a re-] duction in the maximum sur-tax rate from 50 to 25 percent, he said, would prevent such action. What course will be taken relative to the normal income rates has not been indicated. Chairman Green after two meetings of the Republican members announc- ed that the full committee would be called into session tomorrow to start work on the rate schedule. What pro-, gram would be followed was not an-! nounced. The committee has been instructed by the Republican confer-' ence to report the tax measure by' Feb. 11. Cast Chosen For !
