MYRTLE ST.PAV|NG
 WILL BE CITY JOB
Mayor Breaks Tie When Con-
 mon Council Votes

Rejecting for a second time the public works that the Myrtle street paving job be done by the Immick Co. in preference 10 the lowest bid der, Joseph BattagIia. the common council deadlocked last night on a proposal that the work be done without the services of an outside contractor. Mayor A. M. Paonessa broke the tic. voting to have the public works department do the pav- ing.
 Councilman David L. Nair had spok- en in sharp criticism of the board s policy.
 'I don't believe the board of pub lie works should go into the road building business" the councilman said. And besides We here in the common council are not mere rOh- her stamps. We don't have 10 ac- cept what the hoard of public works wants every time. We have 30 members to consider every project. In this case we saw fit to reject the boards wish. The board didn't want to do the work at first. It wanted the Immick Co., to have the contract. Why do they want to do it nowo
 "They come in here tonight and say: You stamp that rubber stamp, or we'll stuff it down your throat.
 The board has a road expert who was hired to fix streets, not build roads. There's enough to do in his own line.
 "At the last meeting. you didn't want to give the contract to Battag- lia for three reasons: You said Battagia hasn't the experience neither have we: you said Battagll lla' hasn't the equipment-tonight the board asks permission 10 rent the equipment: and said 1mmick would do the work in 40 days while Battag- lia would require so, yet the board, empowered to engage q contractor. has now allowed this matter to drag along for fl days unnecessarily.
 Tt can plainly be seen the board Is cramming this thing down our throats because a typed resolution was ready as soon as we defeated the Immick resolution"
 First Gun Is Fired
 Action on the Myrtle street mat ter came before the common coun- cil when Alderman C. J. Dehm nov cd accordance of several recommen- dations of the board, excluding that concerning the Immick contract. Favorable vote on his motion was equivalent to rejection of the boards wish.
 Alderman John F. Maerz of the sixth ward then submitted the reso- lution to empower the board to hire labor and equipment and buy ma terial with which to pave the street.
 Councilman F. H. Christ opened the attack by declaring his opposl- ton, not because he didn't believe the board could do the work, but because. he said, municipal owner ship and municipally worked jobs

EARLY RETURN OF
 M'MILLAN LIKELY
Adverse Weather May Further
 Hamper Explorer

Washington Aug. 20 R) --- Early approach of the Arctic winter has forced the MacMillan expedition to abandon it's effort 10 fly over the unknown Polar Sea, and may even lead one of the two ships to return ahead of schedule
 Although officials of the National Geographic society said today they had received no communication in dicating that the party might split ur, and one of the vessels procedo the other in its return, they. how ever, admitted that this was pos. .sihiity,
 When informed of q report to this effect it was said that if Commander Donald E. MacMillan had or should decide upon such plan, it probably would be to enable the navy flying unit with the expedition to leave the far north before the closing in of winter weather.
 II also was pointed out that the ~N " l'li' 'I NLtl lIi ll'' f' v lll I'' 'l in Greenland, Labrador and Raffin Island would not necessarily require the efforts of the entire party, and that in view of this, a part might return in advance, They were of the belief, however, that if this were done, there would he only matter .Of 10 days or two weeks in thc time 'elapsing between the arrival home Of the two ships
 The decision to call off the at tempt 10 fly over the Polar Soa was taken yesterday hy the society. which Is sponsor Of the expedition, with the assent nf the navy depart- ment. which contributed tho planes and personnel
 The unusual Arctic weather re sponSihle for the change in plans has led some scientific opinion to tho be- lief That the NacAliIlan expedition may have been in part a victim of abnormal world wide weather con- ditions which have been quoted by the Smithsonian Institution as an outstanding development of the rast three years. The British expedition which attempted to scaIo Mount Everest encountered similar ahnor- .mal weather difficulties.
 twithstanding tho failure to complete its entire program, the navy believes the expedition has had q considerable degree of succoss in it's efforts as the knowledge gain ed from navigating the Arctic hy air will he of great value, especially in inc matter of establishing bases in that region.

FOOD WORKERS
LEFT WING HITS
ADMINISTRATION
Passes Resolutions Hav-
ing Teeth
BERT MILLER.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The closing
session of the national convention Of
the Amalgamated Food Workers was
marked by a vigorous attack by the
left wing on the policies and admins
tration of the present Burkhardt I.o-
reite) administration. In a statement
signed by the left wing delegation.
the inefficiency and inactivity of the
present officialdom was heavily scored.
The statement called attention to the
personal Interpretation given to the
criticism presented by the left wing
delegation led by Christman, Ober-
meier, Re enberg and Kalifides. It
called attention to the fact that no
explanation had been given for the
steady loss in membership and in
locals which had dropped out of the
Amalgamated Food Workers. Secre-
tary Burkhardt In his report had alb
solutely no recommendations for the
future policy Of the organization.
True to form the left wing closed
the convention with the only con-
structive proposals which were offer
ed. The outstanding feature Of the
session were the amalgamation pro-
posals which will mark a long step
forward for the food workers. Not on
ly was a general resolution passed
but the following clauses put teeth
into It:
Teeth In Proposal.
That we instruct the incoming
central executive board of the Anal
gamated Food Workers to put this
resolution into effect in the following
manner:
Il. By giving moral and financial
support to the organization Of joint
drives and campaigns for organizing
the unorganized and for q united
struggle against the employers in va
rious fields Of the food industry, like
baking, hotel and restaurants, meat,
etc.
%. BY calling local conferences Of
all unions in the food industry in
the various cities for the purpose of
discussing common problems of mu-
tual assistance.
"3. By calling within the next six
months national conference of the
food industry of all unions for the
same purpose of discussing common
problems for the purpose of devising
ways and means of mutual assist
ance."

blame the captains of industry, nor
look for the cause of his poverty any
where except in the greed OF labor.
"You are paying for their high living.
You should see them arrive for work
at our factory in automobiles. Labor
has us terrorized. They receive what
they demand and we pass the exac-
tons down to you"
And when the city worker buys the
products Of the farm which has run
the gauntlet of profit takers, the vic.
tim is told that the farmer Is to
blame for the high prices. He is
merely going broke because he Is Joy
riding and spends his money for auto
mobiles and gas.
Traitors Have Same Traits.
The tactics of the (mis) leaders Of
the A. F. of L. and farmers organlza-
tions are alike and the aim is the
same, both are the servants of the
cars Of finance and industry, both are
intent upon keeping the slaves blind
and the ranks divided.
But the time is near when the slaves
will find the real cause of their mis-.
cry. They will consolidate, they will
live their own existence and control
their own destiny. The bees will cast
out the drones.

advice Of the Lahore arty executive to

unionists for Labor jp4ty nominations.
The union executive committee has
reendorsed its previous decision that
it is no part of its business to dictate

shall appoint, except that such mem
bers must pay the union labor levy.
A. A. Purcell heads this union.
In regard to Communist exclusion in
general, the union executive says, 1--WE
are not out for heresy hunting and
disruption, and the executive com.
mittee of the Labor party have recog-
nized standing in this respect, and
merely advise the course above re-
ferred to. The executive committee
(of the union) utterly condemn the
attempt to split the ranks, and hearth
ly endorse the action of the general

posals at the Liverpool conference,
