CITY TO ACCEPT
TRACTION PLAN
Dever Ordinance Gives
Banks Long Franchise

The committee on transportation of
the city council will adopt the pro-
posal of the bankers committee re-
presenting the present owners of the
traction lines, which in effect gives
the bankers long term franchise on
the traction lines, opponents of the
measure declare. It is commonly I'M
derstood that Mayor Dever is willing
to accept the recommendation of the
bankers, In order to get his traction
ordinance passed in any form, so that
he can make political capital out of
1t in the next campaign.
Forty Year Franchise
Melvin A. Traylor, president of the
First National bank, who reported for
the bankers owning the traction lines,
recommended that the certificates to
be issued by the city run for forty
years, and the transportation commit
tee let it be known that the bankers
plan will probably be adopted.
Under the Dever ordinance, the
present owners will be in complete
control of the traction lines for at
least twenty years. The board Of
control will have four banker mem
bers to the city's three until 81 per
cent of the certificate have been retir-
ed by the city. After that three men,
bers will represent the city and four
members the bankers. Even after the
81 per cent of the certificates are
retired by the city, the four city re-
personalities must vote unanimously
against the bankers to gain municipal
control of the traction lines.
Lines Give Large income
Traylor said that the present in
come of the surface lines is sufficient
to permit the expenditure of S5O,OOO,-
600 on improvements in addition to
the cost of the lines. Taking the in
come Of the surface lines as our start
ing point, $50,00O,OOO more can be
expended on extensions and improve
ments and all the obligations of the
municipal railway system can be met
without increasing the present fare"

ACTORS EQUITY

Famous Annual Ball is
Talk of the Town

Suffer the little children to come
unto me" declared Jesus (tho not to
a DAILY WORKER reporter), "for of
such is the kingdom of heaven"
This is not an article on the pro-
posed child labor amendment. It's a
trick to call your attention to the Red
Revel Masquerade Ball which will be
held in Womens' West End Club Hall,
81 South Ashland Blvd, on the eve
ming of Feb. % and until the wee
small hours of the morning after.
The.reason the children are men
toned is because the Junior group of
the Young Workers League are
working their foxy little heads off
thinking up little tricks with which
to entertain, amuse and instruct the
happy red jewellers on Red Revel eve.
Many of the Juniors are little girls
and the female of the species is sup
posed to have it all over on the
radio for broadcasting secrets but
what the juniors are going to do, none
Of the news sleuths on the staff of
the DAILY WORKER have yet been
able to find out.
Juniors on the Job.
This much we can say, however,
that if their past record means any
thing, the Juniors will add another
chapter to the history of their &C
complishments on Feb. 2S.
Thousands of copies of a little
baby paper, the smallest in the United
States, excepting the official organ of
the socialist party of the state of
Washington, will be distributed early
next week among members of the
Workers Party, all radical organiza-
tons and trade unions.
The Red Revel Masquerade Ball
will give Chicago radicals an oppor-
tunity to meet each other. The more
the capitalists attack the Communists
the more interesting they become.
Hundreds will come to see what a
Bolshevik looks like. Many will come
to scoff and remain-to dance.
Meet the Girls.
The Red Revel publicity agent is
now able to inform the public that
three young and handsome actresses,
now playing in a we'll known Chicago
theater will be there. The publicity
agent will even go further. He agrees
to introduce to said comedy girls, any
young men of ordinary pulchritude
and good manners who can show
proof that he has disposed of at least
twenty tickets for the Red Revel
Ball.
Scores of tickets have been pur-
chased by some of the leading literary
lights of Chicago who make their
home in what the natives of this vii
lage are pleased to call, Greenwich
Village. They will come to see the
Communists and many Communists
will come to see the Greenwich vii
layers.
The committee on arrangements for
the Red Revel Masquerade Ball is
leaving nothing undone to make
things as interesting as possible for
the guests. The only responsibility
that is placed on the shoulders of our
guests is to buy ticket or tickets at
the local Office of the Workers
Party, 166 w. Washington St., Room
S07 or at the Office of the DAILY
WORKER, lib W. Washington Blvd.
