Chicago City Drivers
May Strike at Firing
of 26 Union Members

Twenty-six city electrical depart
ment truck drivers were suspended
from the civil service yesterday after
noon in the climax of their clash with
Commissioner of Gas and Electricity
John T. Miller over claims of over
time wages.
Each Of the men, as he reported to
the city's garage was notified Of his
suspension and the preparation of
charge to be filed against him with
the merit board. Several weeks ago,
the drivers notified Commissioner
Miller that they would enforce their
demands for overtime wages by strik-
ing.
Miller had a stool pigeon out on the
job to watch the men, and it was re-
ported that the men put in about eight
minutes a day overtime.
If the charges are pressed against
these drivers, the union may call out
all drivers on strike.

NEW YORK, May 49, Scores of

Lights went out, the crowded train
became filled with acrid fumes. and
a serious panic was narrowly averted
as men and women broke windows
and doors in frightened efforts to es-

The fumes were caused by burning
insulation. Women screamed and col

SHEPPA Ard BIDS
FOR CAPITALIST
AID AGAINST REDS
Head of Conductors in
Talk to Bankers
tspeoIaI 70 rhe rsIIy worksrl


MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, May ID.
e. Sheppard, grand president Of the
Order Of Railway Conductors is
against the Communists and militants
in the unions, and he advertised the
fact to the business men of Minnea-
polls the other day at the Saturday
Lunch Club in the Unitarian church
here.
"The conservative labor element OF
America is at the very front line in
the fight to preserve the institutions
and the traditions of the United
States" Sheppard told his audience.
''The red element is attempting to
gain foothold by boring from within
the ranks of labor"
All, Hal We're An "lmpotent Force"
The conservative officials, like him
self, Sheppard inferred, should have
the support of American capitalists
as they "and not forces far removed
from the field of labor, are forcing the
reds to remain comparatively an i'm
potent force" An 'impotent force" is
not a curiosity to Sheppard.
"It is only fair" Sheppard pleaded
to his audience Of bankers and grain
merchants, "that America should rec
ognize the fight we are making
against the invasion Of Communists
and their ilk."
Sheppard said he could point with
pride" to the friendship between the
o. R. c. and the railroad companies.
1t is remarked that Sheppard's salary
puts him nearer the living standard of
railway managers than that of work
ing members of his own craft.

Iy will compete on large scale with

This is the view of Wall Street

The announced purpose Of the new

much more ambitious program.
Ford has always been at variance
with American bankers on one i'm

interest charged on loans to industrial
concerns, particularly to his own con-
Germ. He has also plainly stated that
bankers were too exacting in the
