Lawrence Stands bv
Abe1es and Fusion
Effort Is Renewed
Bronx Republican Chairman
Tells Security League the
Democrats Have No Cause
to Repudiate Senator

The National Security League re-
newed its efforts yesterday for fusion
against Assemblymen Orr and Dewitt
in the Bronx, acting on receipt of a
letter from Richard w Lawrence. chair
man of the Republican County Commit
tee of the Bronx, in which he said he
saw no reason for repudiating Senator
Abeles, who has been renominated by
the Republicans, merely because the
Bronx Democratic organization de-
manded his elimination.
Orr and Dewitt were expelled last
March at the instigation of Speaker
Sweet and others. In his reply to a
letter from Charles d. Orth. head of the
league, urging fusion against the So
clallsts, Chairman Lawrence wrote:
I'm reply to your interesting letter
of the 18th | enclose clipping taken
from The Tribune to-day that accurately
presents the facts concerning the pres
ent status of negotiations with respect
to fusion of the Democrats and Re-
publicans in the 22d Senatorial District.
The Democrats have introduced issues
not germane to the primary purpose of
the fusion which, as | understand the
situation, WAS to insure the defeat of
the un-American element and the So
clallst candidates for Assembly in the
Sd. 4th and 5th districts, Bronx County.
and the candidate for the Senate in the
I'D District. by combination. There is
no reason why Senator Abeles should be
repudiated by his party"
On receipt of Mr.. Lawrence's letter
Mr.. Ortiz wrote to State Chairman
Glynn, saying among other things
that the defeat of the Socialists "is
more important than that of any per
sonality," and that it is therefore the
duty Of the political leaders of both
parties to afford the voters that oppor-
tunlty and to select candidates who
are mutually satisfactory"
Mr.. Ortiz also made public a letter
from State Senator Walters, the
majority leader. who wrote:
II shall feel very keenly dsappoint-
ed If fusion is thwarted on account of
any leader 5 partisan prejudice or
political ambitions and desires, and |
will go just as far as | can to insure
the defeat of the Socialists"

AS we see it, this system, when

portation.
Railroads Ovcrbulxiened.
The increasing demands put upon
them have overburdened the rail
roads as practically every business
man learns most every day, to his
regret. The railroads themselves are
not at fault. They need help. The
motor truck can give it to them by
taking from them the short haul
business. which transportation ex-
perts declare is carried at a loss. And
there is little doubt but what it is
this business which slows up traf-
Tic and leads to congestion.
But the motor truck can go far
ther than this. AS feeder to the
railroad 1t can touch parts of the
country the railroads never would
reach. Its limits are not set by rails,
but by the highways. 1t can en-
courage greater production on the
farm by ensuring quick transporta-
tion for perishables. In this way it
will bring fuller markets. This will
mean greater income for the produc-
er and yet reduction of living
costs to the consumer.
1T is this message we want to
bring home to our communities.
That this may be accomplished

tional drive for the week of May /.

MINIMUM WAGE CONFERENCE
TAKES ON PROPORTIONS OF A
MASS MEETING-OFFIC AND
UNOFFICIAL VISITOR

| The minimum wage conference to
fx the pay of employees in factories
IN session Wednesday and Thursday
at the statehouse, has developed a
greater interest than the recent con-
terence to set the wages of the hotel
maids. This interest manifested itself
in the increased attendance and in
the spirited manner in which advo-
Gates of the several proposals present
ed their facts and arguments.
Representatives and friends of the
employers predominant in the gather
ing, and the case for business men
Is being directed by an attorney.
Representatives of the working
women, composed entirely of men,
bers of trades unions, have presented
demand for minimum wage of $28
a week. 1t is said, however, that
their actual expectations to do not
reach beyond the SIS allowed by the
recent conference.
Employers have countered with the
proposal of SIS a week, and they
have assembled a mass of evidence
in support of this figure as a reason
able sum. fair to both employe and
employer.
The minimum wage conference in
respect to women and minors en-
gagged In mercantile and factory
work was called to order at 10
O'Clock Wednesday morning at the
Statehouse.
The present minimum wage is
1920, but this was increased to
SIS by resolution of the welfare COM
mission some months ago. although
acceptance of this increase was vol
untary upon the part of employers.
Recently the wage Of hotel maids
was raised to SIS from the 1920
and it is presumed that
the conference will not give much
to any sum less than
that awarded in the case of public
employees.
