BANKERS FIGHT

SURF ACE LINES
Two Groups in Battle.
Before City Council

Lisman and Company, New York
concern, acting for a syndicate of New
York, Chicago, and other bankers, has
offered the Chicago city council trans
portation committee to take over the
street railway system when the pres
ent franchise expires and to work for
the consolidation of the existing ele-
waited, bus and street car lines and to
establish bus lines where needed.
This concern, acting on behalf of a
syndicate of bankers, points out that
it has the necessary cash to refinance
the roads and to operate and maintain
them provided the city grants them a
20-year franchise.
Competition between two groups Of
bankers is on now before the city
council. One group is composed of a
number of Chicago and New York
bankers that now control the lines and
the other group is a syndicate of New
York and Chicago bankers seeking to
gain control of the roads.
Neither of the two groups state in
their proposals whether there will be
return to the former scent fare or
whether the fare will be increased.

COAL famine
IS PRESSING IN
GREAT BRITAIN
Imported Coal Is Found
Unsatisfactory
Especial to The Daily Worker)

LONDON, Sept, IS. - The approach
Of cool weather is bringing rising
apprehension at the shortage of coal,
and not a little of the protest is direct
cd at the mine owners association,
which refuses to settle with the strik-
ers on the basis Of a nationals agree
ment.
Orders for British coal are pouring
into the Offices Of coal merchants, and
coal consumers declare they are en-
tirely dissatisfied with the kind of coal
imported from other countries.
Everyone is heartily fed up with
IT," says one big coal merchant.
The owners, who have rejected the
proposal of the government, that the
Swners participate in a three-cornered
conference with the government and
the strikers representatives, think
that the strikers are beaten to their
knees and concessions to them zane
unnecessary.
The owners boast about the miners
who have returned to work, yet their
claim Of 5000 now working turnout
the country is not enough to affect THE
issue, there being 100000 on strike
and standing firmly for the union in
spite Of the most bitter suffering. The
government. which has been ready at
ell times to scoerce the miners, now
has the task Of showing its attitudesto.

munist) Party opened its congression-
al campaign here before an enthus-
iastic throng in Carnegie Music Hall,
from which the party was barred by
the police on last May Day.
Abram Jakira, district organizer OF
the Workers (Communist) Party, in.
opening the meeting as chairman
pointed out that the gathering had
double purpose. To celebrate the free
speech fight won by the party and to
inaugurate the party's 1925 parliament
tary struggle in the Pittsburgh dis
trict.
]. Louis Engdahl, editor Of The
DAILY WORKER, aroused great en-
thusiasm from the fight to free Saccol
and Vanzetti by pointing out the reve.
lations brought to light in the confess
sions of two ex-department of justice
agents in the court hearing at Ded-
ham, Mass, Monday. He used these
revelations admitting the govern
ment's frame-up against Sacco and
Vanzetti to explain the real nature
of the American capitalist govern-j
mental tyranny.
Mrs. Parthenia Hills, the party's can
didate for lieutenant governor, won
great applause by her excellent state
ment Of the part that the worker is
taking in the American class struggle.
Her declaration that the Negro was
in a class fight and not struggle
for his race was enthusiastically APP
plauded. Shes eloquently exposed the
republican party as the enemy Of the
Negro workers.
Organize Young Workers.
George Papcun. of the Young Work
ers (Communist) League, urged the
organization of the young workers in
the steel mills. the mining and electro
cal industries. A special musical pro-
gram was furnished by the Kendra

This was the first Of a series of four
campaign meetings. The next meet
