FLEET OF BUSES TO
REPLACE TROLLEY CAR
AND BUGGY IN MOSCOW

MOSCOW, Sept. 2t.-The trans
portation system Of Moscow is be-
coming more modern and efficient
than il was In pre-war days. Eight
omnibuses Of the London type will
make their appearance having been
bought by the city, They are the
forerunners Of fleet which will dis
place the horse-drawn carriage and
to some extent the conventional
trolley car, which for many years
have been the backbone of Mos.
cows transportation system. Off.
clals declare this will do much to re.
Ieve the congestion in the growing
Soviet city. Bus lines are to con.
meet the suburbs with the central
sections Of the town in order to en-,
courage residents to move into the
edges of the town.

N. Y. Cleaners Picket
in Spite of Thugs
Especial to The Daily workerl

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-The
Guarantee Window Cleaning
Company of ITO West 42nd
Street, which has many times
tried to drop the union, en-
braced the opportunity pre-
sented by the strike situation
here to lock out all their union
employees.
When their % window clean
ers came to the Office to get
their routes they were told they
either had to throw their union
buttons away or lose their jobs.
Union Men Quit.
The union men quit Immediately
and reported to the union. The win
dow cleaners are determined to see
this fight thru to a finish to prove to
the bosses that their union is here to
stay.
This is not the first attempt made
to break the union by the employers
association, the union officers say. H.
Weinsten, secretary of Local 8, told
the DAILY WORKER: 1--WE had a
strike five years ago, when the en-
ployers tried to put this open shop
proposition over on us and they have
been at it since. This fight will
prove to them once and for all that
this,u is something they will have
to accept.
Cleaners In Constant Danger.
1.-THE window cleaner must have an
organization to look after his inter-
ests. The work of cleaning windows
carries with it many dangers that only
the combined understanding of men
on the job can help to alleviate. For
instance, the danger window clean
er is submitted to every day on the
job by working on buildings many
stories high. Only working condi-
tons and salaries that can keep a
worker fit can help to lessen the dan.
gers of disastrous accidents to the
men. The mems only friend is their
union. They know it and there is
not the slightest chance of their ever
giving it up. 1t is fight to finish. y
The Guaranty Window Cleaning
company is employing gangsters, priv
ate detectives and all the police are
at their assistance to scare the pickets
away from the vicinity of the Office
But the men cannot be inundated
and they are on the job picketing
every day.

new YORK TALK
LaF gillette Must Know
Gotham Is ''Dem" City

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-After s
meeting with representatives of the
American Federation of Labor, Sam
uel Gompers, its president, will re-
port this afternoon to Senator Robert
M. LaFollette the extent to which
the federation will interest itself in
the progressive presidential cam
paign. People thought that this ques-
ton was already settled.
LaFollettes first speech of the cam
paign, delivered last night in crowd
ed Madison Square Garden, in which
he denounced the republican and de-
mocratic parties as the corrupt and
decadent" serfs of corporate inter
ests, was being used today by the la
Dor representatives in deciding what
stand they shall take.
LaFollette's address was an appeal
to voters to forsake the two old par
ties this year and vote for honest
government" He said that the re-
election of President Coolidge would
mean -four years more of misgovern-
ment, with a continued cynical be-
stowal of special privilege on the ia
vored few"
The candidate declared that, altho
evidence Of fraud and corruption had
been overwhelming, there had been
no housekeeping in Washington I'M
der President Coolidge. He charged
that the republicans had attempted to
lay at the door of dead man, Presi-
dent Harding, the blame for all acts
of maladministration that had occur
red in the republican regime.
LaFollette promised to fight for re-
vision of the peace Of Versailles,
which he blamed for many of the
worlds present ills.
The Wisconsin senator did not refer
except in a vague way to the anti
labor acts Of the republican and de-
mocratic governments, or TO the syn
dicalist laws which take away the
right of free speech guaranteed by
the constitution.

Macdonald Hits Labor
Minister
BY JOHN RoBuR.

Federated Press staff Correspondent
LONDON, Ont, Sept. 21.-Refusing
to scrape and truckle before a secre-
tary of labor as a number of Ameri-
can labor conventions have done, the
Canadian Trades & Labor congress in
its annual session at London vigorous.
ly censured James Murdoch, minis.
ter of labor in the Dominion cabinet
and former vice president of the
trainmen's brotherhood.
The original resolution bluntly &C
cused Murdoch of hypocrisy toward
labor but this was modified after a
warm debate. The resolution further
contained a demand on the govern.
ment to put into force the agreement
on the S-hour day.
Labor Opposes Murdoch.
During the debate on the censure
Jack Macdonald of Toronto, declar
ed, Labor generally is clearly op
posed to James Murdoch" Every
labor man in the dominion" said Del
egate Book Of Toronto, has suffered
at one time or another thru the tricki
ness of the minister of labor"
Murdoch came under criticism spe
cially for his opposition to proposal
made in parliament by labor member
Wordsworth, that the S-hour day
should be adopted on government
work Murdoch defended his policy
of maintaining the prevailing" wag
es and conditions of each district on
government work.

be interesting to see him deny that
he ever harbored such regards for his
fellow-republican Charles Evans
Hughes. Apparently he had subordi-
mated the trifing issue of Russia rec.
ognition to the higher expediency of
the campaign. Today Mr.. Robins. the
redoubtable orator at Y. M. c. A.

Third, he's a hardshell Baptist and

against a gross profit of $53 100000, in
1921. The average wage in 1928 was

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 21.-The local
branch of the Trade Union Educa-
tional League has finally forced the
labor leaders to take action against
the notorious stool pigeon, Robert w.
Beattie, labor banker and secretary of
the Pittsburgh Central Labor Union.
The t. u. e. L. issued leafiet
demanding that this notorious spy, re-
dictionary and red batter be given the
boot out of the labor movement. It
is rather peculiar that the labor fax

against radicals, were so slow in
lighting a fire under the crook, Beat
tie.
Easy with Crook.
Even, when action was forced and
Beattie decided to tender his resig.
nation, the reactionaries did not want
to move. After three hearings Beat
tie decided to resign, but the trade
union rank and file were not satisfied
with that. They wanted to expel him
Mr.. Nelson, acting secretary OF the

ton accepted but the members voted
TO defer action until the executive
