Motor Bus Seen as
Railway Auxiliary

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-In their
war to capture the bulk of passenger
traffic in the territory between New
York and Washington, the Baltimore
and Ohio and the Pennsylvania rail-
road systems have seized upon the
motor bus as defensive weapon.
The Baltimore and Ohio, forced to
stop using the Pennsylvania tunnel
under the Hudson River and the Penn
sylvania station in New York on Sep
TENDER 1, has announced that a big
feet of motor buses will carry it's
outbound passengers to Jersey City
from all the principal hotels in New
York, and will distribute the arriving
passengers in the same way.
The Pennsylvania has declared that
it will run motor buses on all of its
suburban lines near New York and
Philadelphia, where passenger train
schedules are not sufficiently conve-
nient to commuters.
Officers of the International Asso-
citation of Machinists view this devel-
opment as proof that motor bus trans
portation is soon to become an ad-
iunct to all the main railroad lines,
thereby expanding the motor industry
in a new degree.

of the strike. So far all their efforts
have been futile. The strikers are
firm in their determination to win the
strike. They are as firm and deter
mined as they were on July 1 when
they went on strike. Tho it has been
unusually hot and picketing is a much
harder job than before the strikers
have not relaxed their efforts. Strike
breakers are hunted down and con-
WINGED that they should join the strike.
Shops that have been able to get a
few workers to scab are closed alto
gether. Work that is being sent to
outside shops in diligently and con-
scientiously traced and the workers in
those outside shops acquainted with
the fact that they are doing struck
work.
The strikers have great faith in
their leaders. In a meeting Of shop
chairmen at Webster Hall, Louis Hy-
man and Boruchowitz were wildly
cheered by the strikers after they had
made short speeches. Several agents
OF the bosses in the union that sought
to discredit the spirit of the strikers
and the strike were hooted and Kissed
by the chairmen. These chairmen left
the meeting determined to stay on
strike until every demand is granted.

year around and most OF the workers
made excellent wages and were liv-
ing nicely.
The letter then ends with an appeal
for the strikers to desert the strike
and return to work as they are not
fighting for worthwhile cause.
The industrial letters do not tell the
truth. If the statements of that
worthy" body of the Protective AS
ISOLATION are true, how can that body
account for the fact that so many
strikers are in need of relief at
present? Surely, if these workers had
worked the time the industrial claims
they have and made the wages they
are charged with receiving they should
have been able to save many penny
for such day as this.
Part of my duties as the clerk in
Webster Hall is to write at least fifty
letters every day to the relief commit
tee for members Of the union that need
relief. A few of them that ask for this
relief may not need it, but the great
majority really need this aid and are
telling the truth when they declare
that they have nothing to live on after
striking but short time.
People come into strike headquar-
tiers with dispossess notices for non
payment of rent. They bring their
unpaid gas bills, electric bills and even
grocers' bills. The union is taking care
of its members. 1t is doing all it can
to aid every one of its members.
These are cold facts. In the face Of
these too evident truths can the indus
trial council of the Protective Associa-
ton still insist that the workers have
no reason for demanding higher wages
and an improvement in their condi-
tions? Can they still persist in stating
that conditions Of the workers are so
perfect that they cannot be improved?
The industrial council is trying in
many ways TO undermine the morale

Kathleen Mine at
Dowell Gives Coal
Leaders Dirty Deal
BY BERT GROVER.
(Worker Correspondent

DOWELL, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-THE Kath-
leen Mine at Dowell, five miles south
Of DuQuoin, is giving the leaders a
dirty deal.
The Kathleen mine since re-opening
has installed loading machines. All
workers are getting SS.O4 for hours
work. Those that run the mechani-
cal leaders get S10.O7 a shift. The
loading machines cannot clean up a
place, so as to be ready TO have it
undercut and shot down, therefore,
miners must clean up the places
which is hard work. They get from
to cars double shift for the
sum Of $S.O4.

B. & M. SHOE
CO. WORKERS
ARE STILL OUT
Strike Is Now Fig h t
Months Old
81 4 worker correspondent.

TORONTO, Can, Aug. 1.-THE shoe
workers at the B. & M. Shoe and Slip
per Co., Portland and Niagara streets,
are still out. These workers have
been out since December rs, 1925.
Every attempt has been made by the
bosses to defeat these workers and
force them back into the shops.
Strikebreakers were brought into
Toronto from the little towns in the
province Of Ontario where there are
shoe manufacturing shops. These
workers are unorganized and work
ten to twelve hours day for wages
that range from rs cents to 35 cents
an hour.
Not only have the members of Local
23S Of the Boot and Shoe Workers
Union here to fight against the police
brutality, the use of strikebreakers,
but they have also come into conflict
with their international union. Inter
national Organizer Edward O'Dell is
everywhere but where he should be.
Twelve open-air meetings were held
before the shops here, at which 81
different speakers spoke. Brother
O'Dell was invited to speak there
many times. Not once has he deigned
to answer the invitation Of the strik-
ers.
In the first few weeks of the strike,
when there were mounted police be-
fore the shops harassing the picket
line, you couldn't get this union Of
fetal out on the picket line.
The international union in Boston is
paying but IS week in strike bene-
fits. The members Of the union here
find that the IS does not go very far.
On number of occasions when work
ers in the factory were pulled out
who did not know that a strike was on
the union members here had to pay
their fare out of town and also feed
and house them while in the town.
News of the strike does not appear
in the union journal. Several times
the Toronto local has protested against
the silence maintained about the
strike. The Toronto local pointed out
that ads are being run in the big dai-
lies in which the company advertises
for scabs. Some of the workers, see
ing these ads,sdo not know there Is a
strike on. They come to Toronto. The
local urged the Journal to print news
i of the strike because of this situation
General Secretary Baine answered
that it was the policy of the Journal
and the international union not to
advertise a strike, as scabs would
then flock into that city. This argu-
ment sounds very childish.
Despite these handicaps, the local
union is carrying on its struggle and
will continue to carry it on until ii
wins its demands. The picket lines
are determined to picket the mills
until the strike is completely won
/ These actions on the part of some of
the international officials has made
them more determined to win and to
work towards their defeat in coming
elections.

LOGGING CAMP
WORKERS FACE
MANY DANGERS
Lives NJ e n a c e d by
Vicious Speedily
ny a WORKER cOrrespondent.

RONALD, Wash, Aug. 12.-Workers
in the logging camps of Washington,
Idaho, Oregon and California are in
constant danger Of losing their lives
because of the speed-up system.
The rigging crew, which is made up
of four chokermen and two men to
each Of the chokermen, do the most
dangerous work in the camps. They
must fight with steel cables that are
two inches thick. When these lines
are in motion they are exposed to very
great danger.
The rigging singer gets about $3.50
more than the chockerman. On him
depends the lives of many Of his fell
low-workers. He spots the lines and
gives the signals to the signal boy
when the logs are hooked. Oftentimes
in his desire to be quick and show the
bosses what good worker he is he
gives the signal too quick. AS a result
some worker is caught in the brush
and is crushed to death or crippled for
life.
The "buH of the crew" or the hook
tender" sits on a stump all day long
watching every move that is made by
the chokers and their helpers. If a
worker is not fast enough he soon
hears the bull" shout: "Hey! Slim
get a move on you"
No man in the woods is sure Of his
job. The "bull" and the employment
shark cooperate in fleeing the log
ging workers. The employment shark
and the "bull' see to it that there are
three crews always on the way. One
is at work, one on the road towards
the town and the other on the road
towards the camp. The workers are
kept but a short time. By frequent
hiring and firing the employment
shark and the bull" are able to line
their pockets nicely with the dollars
of the workers.
Trees are felled and bucked by con-
tract. Every two fellers and four
buckers have a scaler. The scaler is
instructed to steal as much as he can
from the bush buckers. Under most
satisfactory conditions they are not
able TO make more than 81 to So.
l heard one of the buckers that
had been working every day in the
week remark once: "If quit tonight
l will have so cents coming; if not
will be broke in the morning.
The Shafer Brothers camp is near
Aberdeen, Washington. Here the
workers. get bonus if they are able
to stick it out three months. This
bonus, which is held up before the
eyes of the workers to make them
speed up, hardly ever reaches the
workers pockets. Before the three
months period is up there is an en-
tirely new crew with the exception of
the hooktenders and the rigging sling
ers. These two groups cooperate with
each other in running the other. work
ers out of the camp so that when the
bonus is divided up they will get a
bigger sum.

NEW YORK, Aug 12.-Representa-

By international News Service

TOKYO, Feb. 2O.-The Seaman's
Association of Yokohama today APP
pealed to the government to dis.
patch naval vessels in search Of 10
members of the crew of the Japa-
nese freighter Taishin Maru, who
abandoned the ship In small boats
when death from starvation APP
peared imminent.
Fourteen other members OF the
crew, all suffering from lack of
food and water, were aboard the
Standard Oil tanker Java Arrow,
enroute to San Francisco. where
they are scheduled to arrive about
March Z.
After having been missing since
January II, the Taishin Maru was
sighted yesterday by the Java Ar
row. Meager radio reports reach
ing here at first indicated that 10
members of the crew had died Of
starvation. Later, however, a con-
flicting report was received, which
indicated that the 10 men had left
the ship, one group on January 29
and another five days later, and
had not been heard from since.
The men who remained aboard
the vessel were almost dead when
found by the Java Arrow. 1t is the
opinion here all of the men who
left the vessel had persisted at sea.

VOIDS 81 AUSE IN
CONTRACT

Comptroller General J. r. McCarl
has overruled another Arlington
Memorial bridge contract.
In decision made public today
on q contract between the bridge
commission and the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company providing for q
railroad siding from the Rosslyn
yards of the company to the vir-
ginia end Of the bridge, McCarl
ruled that one OF the clauses ID
illegal and must be eliminated.
The controversial clause provides
that the United States should be
responsible for all loss or damage
growing out of the construction or
operation Of the siding. The Comp
troller ruled that there is neither
provision of law nor appropriation
authorizing the indemnifying fea-
lures Of the proposed contract.
The major portion Of the contract
was approved by the Comptroller
however, and it is probable that
the bridge commission will be able
to make some agreement with the
railroad so that the project can be
arranged without the objectional
feature.
A draft of the contract. which
has not yet been ratified, was Tor

all by Major u. S. Grant Sd, execu-
tive officer of the commission.
