The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-03-18

When a locals paid membership
for certain period is less than ten,
say for six months, the local should
be investigated to see if there are
really enough persons entitled to
eXoneration to keep the local alive. If
so, the local officers should be re-
quired to furnish sworn list of the
names and addresses of all exonerated
members, and the fact should be pub
lished that the local has been found
to be still in existence.
The financial reports should be re-
quired to include the number of
generations from each local, and
also should give the local number
and location of all locals chartered,
suspended, revoked, and investigated
during the period of the report.
Officials determined to override the
wishes Of the membership can evade
all sorts of constitutional provisions.
What is needed is officials who try to
serve the membership instead of try
ing to make the membership serve
them.
An Awakened Membership.
To amend the constitution and to
elect and retain honest officials re-
quires membership attentive to the
good of the organization. If the
membership does not object to being
exploited by a corrupt officialdom,
there will not be much trouble in
finding the officialdom TO do the ex-
plotting.

State Departments Plan to Handle Crowds Going to New London

Hartford, June 1S.-Preparations 10 handle the greatly increased auto mobile traffic on the occasion of the annual Yale Harvard boat race on the Thames at New London on Friday, June goth. arc being made by the state highway department, co-opera- ting with the Motor Vehicle and state police departments, Engineers have been instruted to hurry temporary repair and maintenance work as much as possible with a view to clearing all bad sections of the highways so as to inconvenience motorists as little as possible.
 As this event comes during the height of the road building season, when construction is under way in all parts of the state, detours, of course will be necessary in many places. Careful attention will be made to facilitate approach 10 New London for the race.
 The Boston Post Road from New York through Bridgeport and New Haven to New London is in the process of heavy reconstruction, and HlblUI lSLS WILL Ht duNlStu d ltH uaSS prior to the race of the special de- tours necessary to traverse this ter ritory. The department plans to make public road bulletin which will give adequate information con eerning routes to he taken to and from the race. Tn addition, uni formed officers Of the State Police de- partment will be stationed at impor- tant intersections 10 direct traffic.
 It is expected that approximately 10000 automobiles will be driven to New London for the event, The highway department, al this time, wishes to invite attention to the fact that, whereas in other years payment of fees was required 10 cross the toll bridges at Saybrook and New Lon don, no such tolls are necessary now. For the purpose of records, however, 1t is planned to have bridge tenders keep B count of the number of cars trsvcrsing the bridges, as this infor. nation will be useful in the future in the regulation of traffic.
