Can't Blame Carmen
for Defective Cars
on Surface Lines

To the DAILY WORKER: It has
been my experience during the last
few days to witness some of the bad
rolling stock that the Chicago Sur
face Lines have put on the Halsted
Street line during this small snow
storm.
Monday night, as / was on my way
towards home from. work, was de-
layed by sevefAl hours. One of the
cars on Route No. 1S-from Hal
sted-26th to Halsted- Broadway-had
left the track and was at right angles
to the North-bound and South-bound
tracks.
Tuesday night, at the corner Of
Halsted and 31st St., south-bound,
111th-Sacramento, car left the tracks
and impeded traffic for number Of
hours.
Wednesday morning, at the corner
of Van Buren, and Halsted St., a
south-bound car, Route No. 10. car
No. S25, left the tracks and again l
suffered the humiliating experience
of sitting in a poorly-heated car.
In speaking to some of the motor
men and conductors on the cars, /
Learned that the Chicago Surface
Lines had placed on many defective
cars.
"The motorman should not be
blamed for the accidents or delays on
any of these lines. The cars are
damned rotten, the switches aren't
lcleaned. We haven't a decent rag
to clean our windows with. How in
Hell can we avoid accidents?" said
one of the motormen.
/ believe the DAILY WORKER
should conduct an expose Of the con.
dition and shape Of the rolling
stock that the company has placed or
the lines where the workers must GO
to and from work. In the three
cases mentioned above / found de-
fective fianges on the wheels Of the
cars. / have worked for the New
York Central and the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroads in
their round-houses and know what
am talking about.
The DAILY WORKER should ex-
pose the iDaction company, just as it
exposed the Public School System Of
Chicago.-John Victor Ellis, Chi
cago.

Transfers On Strike

BELLEVILLE, Ill--Union team
sters, numbering more than 800, are
on strike here for an increase of
wages and a reduction of working
hours. The strike was called when
the employers refused to sign the
new agreement. The old scale was
60 to So cents an hour, the men
working ten hours a day. The new
agreement provides a nine-hour day
and a pay rate of 70 to rs cents an
hour, with time and a half for over
time. The employers side was
weakened when some of the number
broke ranks, settled with the strikers,
sending about rs drivers back to
work.

Especial to The Daily Worker,


ROME.-Italian government and
commercial circles are impatiently
waiting for the revised text of the
Italian-Russian treaty which will
come from Moscow. Just as Mus
solini had finished drafting a pact
with the Soviets Premier Rykov de-
manded that the treaty should be
sent to him for revision.
AS prepared by Mussolini the
treaty carried substantial oil conces-
sions to Italy and it is believed that
the Soviets will pare down Rome's
demands in this particular.
Mussolini is anxious to establish
relations with Moscow as soon as pos
sible. Russian trade is necessity to
the commercial solvency of Italy and
Black Sea wheat is imperatively
needed by the peole of this PENN
sula.
The Fascist chiefs hostility to
communism which for long time
caused him to resist the economic
trend towards Soviet recognition
has been overborne by the eco
nomic necessities. His eagerness is
sharpened by Britain's recognition of
Russia.
