N. Y. Taxi Drivers
Win Fight Against
Mogul Checker Cab
(By The Federated Press,

NEW YORK, May 20.-Victory on
the industrial and legal front has been
won by the union in the New York
taxi war. Union recognition, 40 per
cent of receipts for day men and 35
per cent for night drivers with half
the receipts above $50 a week, are
terms of the new contract with the
Mogul Checker Cab Corp, which runs
until Nov. l.
Fleet owners OF the Mogul Corp,
have withdrawn charges of extortion
against officials of the union, the
Brotherhood of Taxi Chauffeurs of
Greater New York, an independent or
ganization. At the same time the
judge exonerated The men.
Tho the contract covers only Mogul
Checker employees, about 1000, the I'M
ion claims that about 600 of its mem
bers working for the Premier and
Luxor companies are receiving the I'M
ion scale following the strike. The
American Yellow concern, which has
the patronage of the city administra-
ton and the police, continues to pay
its drivers only 33 1-3 per cent.

Painters Strike
Wins Victories In
Open Shop L. A.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May 20.-The
last week Of the painters strike
shows big gain. A few more mem
bers of the bosses association settled
with the union and are employing I'M
ion men. A good number of them are
comforting with the representatives of
the strike committee, with very good
prospects for satisfactory settle
ment.
The stand taken by the association
from the start was fiat refusal even
to meet any representative Of the un
ion. AS the strike was progressing
they had to change their attitude
Conferences are now being held daily
With individual members of the asso
:iation. The only issue in the contro.
yersy is the open shop" question.
A vigorous organization campaign
is being conducted. Many new mem.
bers are joining the union every day.
A conference of 10 Jewish organiza-
tions was organized in Boyle Heights
to organize and control public opin-
ion in support of the striking painters.
This conference is now very active in
raising funds for the strikers.
The striking machinery is in good
order and works tremendously. The
confidence of the membership shown
to their strike committee is wonder
full. The fighting spirit Of the strik-
ers is splendid.

FIRST PICNIC
OF SEASON TO Be
HELD MAY Both
Plan To Visit Graves
OF Labor Martyrs

The coming joint picnic on May 30th
Of the T. U. E. L. and the Y. w. L. at
Altenheim Grove, Forest Park, holds
a double attraction for the militants
and youth who will gather at this first
major social affair of the year.
Besides the opportunity presented
for sport and diversion, the militant
workers and youth can make this a
revolutionary pilgrimage to the graves
of the pioneers of the movement for
the eight-hour day in the United
States. In the cemetery across the
road from the picnic grove lie the
bodies of Spies, Parsons and other
victims of the Haymarket Riots gal
liant fighters in the class struggle to
whom the militants and youth of the
T. U. E. L. are the logical successors.
Many of those coming to this yearly
reunion Of Chicago's radicals will be
pleased to take advantage of this
double reason for attendance.
But besides revolutionary inspira-
ton, the picnic promises further ad-
vantages. The grove includes mer-
ry-go-round, swings, shelter and shade
for rain or shine. An elaborate pro-
gram beginning with noted speakers
and including sports and games, be-
sides many novelty features new to
Chicago's social activities of trade un-
ionists, has been drawn up by the COM
mittee in charge.
A group of the Amalgamated Food
Workers will be in charge of the food
arrangements and mean to prove their
reasons for an increase in wages.
Branches of the Young Workers
League each are to have charge Of Sc
parate booths promising new features
and novelties while the T. U. E. L.
groups of the various trades promise
a cooperation that bespeaks success
for the affair.

RHODE ISLAND
CALLIN G LABOR
|. PARTY ASSEMBLY
State Meet Settles Natl
Action Sunday
tspeeIaI to The DaIIy w0rkerl

PROVIDENCE, R. l., May 2O.-The
state convention of the Labor Party
will be held next Sunday, May rs, at
3 p. m. in American Cooperative AS
ISOLATION Hall, 1875 Westminster
street, according to call just sent
out to all members of labor unions,
Of workers fraternal organizations
and of co-operatives in Rhode Island.
The circular letter call states in
part;
1.-TWO years ago a group of work
ers in Rhode Island got together and
organized the Rhode Island Labor
I Party. Later on they affiliated with
the Federated Farmer-Labor Party.
This Federated Farmer-Labor Party
has succeeded in grouping together
various independent political parties
into federation, hence the name
Federated Farmer-Labor Party.
"A call has been issued for a ma
tional convention of delegates from all
these groups. The Rhode Island La
Dor Party can take part in that con-
vention by sending delegates. But we
do not want to take any part unless
we have mass state convention. We
want you to come to the state conven-
ton, either as a representative of
your organization, or as an individual
member. Read the enclosed call for
a National Convention. Read the
tentative program. If you agree to
that you are welcome, in fact WE
WANT YOU.
IF you think your organization will
send delegates to our state conven-
ton, then bring this matter before it.
If you cannot get such action, then
show this call to some of your fellow
members and ask them to attend. We
do not ask what your political faith
is, we only ask if you belong to la
Dor group and if you are willing to help
build a Labor Party in Rhode Island,
and in the nation. Don't be misled
by the sham battles that are now be-
ing staged by the politicians of both
old parties. Organize Labor Party
and we can make our own laws"

a lot of valuable material on this
Third International connection
with radical labor in America.
Burton's testimony, given before
the Brookhart committee as supple
ment to his story of the failure of the
department to prosecute a series OF
big whisky-fraud cases in Ohio, was
that Little introduced himself as an
agent of Burns bureau, and showed
a badge and identification card. Little
wanted Burton to introduce him to
some labor leaders in the Cleveland
district. A few days afterward, Bur
ton met Little in the latter's office in
Pittsburgh-at location he could not
describe, as they went there at mid
night in a closed taxi. The informa-
ton he received as to Russian in
ltrigues with dangerous labor agita-
tors in this country from Little, Bur-
ton said, was so valuable that he
made pamphlet of it and sent it to
rubber and pottery manufacturers in
Ohio. The A. F. of L. was at that
time trying to organize their un-
skilled labor. This data helped to
break that effort by the unions.
Little told Burton that he was paid
$4,000 by the government, but got
$1,000 a year from the U. s. Steel
Corporation, which was interested in
having him take trip to Russia and
bring back material. 1t was case of
stopping an organization movement
in the steel industry, last year, and
the steel people were not stingy. Bur-
ton reported to the department at the
same time that he reported to steel.
Afterward, Burton noticed that Secre-
tary Hughes was publishing the same
charges as to the Third International
and it's American propaganda as Lit
tie had recited to him in Pittsburgh
last October
On this information, Burton testi-
fled the manufacturers had been able
to cause the arrest of two men at
Youngstown for circulating "anarchis-
tic" labor literature.
When Burton made an attempt to
get further data, recently, from Little,
the latter told him that the staff in
Pittsburgh had been sent into the
field for few days, when the Daugh-
erty investigation by the Senate COM
mittee began, and that during their
absence the records were all re-
moved and had not reappeared.

Drumheller Miners
Strike Goes Strong
Despite Relief Need
BY JOHN CLIFFORD.
Especial TO The Daily Worker)


DRUMHELLER, Alberta, May 90
The struggle in District IS, between
miners and operators, has become in
tense, after almost two months Of the
strike and with both sides still show.
ing determination that they will win
in the end.
To date, the miners have not re-
ceived any relief in any way from the
District or International organiza-
ton, but have been distributing what
ever small funds are in the local
treasures, and only then to needy
cases. However, the fact that the
miners in the southwestern states
have settled up, is of good omen to
the striking miners in this district,
as it will release all the available
funds necessary to the successful con-
clusion of the strike in this district.
President William Sherman is at
present in Indianapolis, negotiating
with John l.. Lewis regarding the pos
sibilities of relief for District is, min
ers. Immediate relief is urgently
needed as there are some non-union
fields out with the union miners, and
to hold these miners, and to make a
successful conclusion to the present
strike, immediate distribution of re-
lief is desirable. The miners are de-
termined to stick to the strike, relief
or not.
Such is the stand of the miners
of Alberta and British Columbia, real
izing that not only is their future de-
termined by the stand in this strike.
but also the future of the rest of the
industrial slaves in this western coun-
try. The miners to date have been
the main defense, in the attacks of
the capitalist class, in their wage re-
duction offensive.
1t is the duty of every member of
the working class, to assist the min
ers of District is in their adversely,
and help to make this strike a vic
tory, thereby paving the way to great
er success for all workers, and the
final abolition of this system of ex-
ploitation, which permits a small
group of men to stand and dictate to
over 10000 men, women and children,
the conditions under which they must
exist. Canadian and American work
ers, the miners Of Alberta are de-
pending on you, to come to their aid.

next semester. He got 50 votes, the

paragraph states: "City Council may
not take actions that especially bene-

The actions have been to provide med

Three thousand tons of barley have
been ordered from Russia. This is the
