Especial to The Daily Worker,

NEW YORK CITY, July 14.-Frank
HedIey, president and general man
ager of the Interboro company, tried
Vainly to terrorize the strikers into
yielding again to the yoke OF the
company and it's spurious union by is
suing a final ukase that in case they
were not back on the job by noon
Monday they would lose their seniority
rights. The capitalist press, without
exception, set up a loud eIamor jim
an effort 70 aid Hedley break the
strike at the end of the first week.
Yesterday G. G. Camp, a motorman
and one of the former strikers who
had played a minor role, went back to
work, taking half dozen with him,
and everyone in an official position
in the company, or who had held a
position in the defunct company union,
predicted that the ranks would break
All attention of the leaders of both
the workers and the traction magnates
were conferred upon the meeting hall
in the morning. The results of the
propaganda to break the ranks would
be known at noon. When the hour
arrived that Hedley and his cheap
boot-licking lieutenant, Patrick Con-
molly, head of the company union,
predicted would see the strike vanish
into thin air every man, except those
who returned to scab on their fellow
workers yesterday, was in the hall,
and when Edward P. LAWN, the leader
of the strikers, rose to speak his first
comment was upon Hedley's disap-
pointment at the manner in which the
ranks were holding, which was greeted
with thunderous applause.
Slowly Organizing.
Organization work is proceeding
very slowly, mostly due to the fact
that the leaders of the strike have had
no experience in that sort of work,
most of their experience having been
obtained in the company union, where
the principal work" consists of lis
tening to company hirelings apologize
for the miserable wages received by
the men.
The splendid spirit of defiance and
almost reckless abandon manifested
by these motormen, switehmen and
electricians who have broken away
from the thralldom of the Hedley-
Connolly combination will carry them
long way.
For the first time since the strike
began a week ago definite steps are
being taken to picket the various ter
minals and appeals are being sent to
all workers on the lines to join the
strike.
Vote on Demands.
One of the most telling blows
against the company was started Sat
urday when the strike committee de-
cided to expose the fake nature of the

COAL STRIKE END STILL DISTANT

London, Sept. 12th.-Ihere is no end
in sight to the coal strike now in its goth
week. It appears inevitable that the
Government in the end will be compel
led to impose some settlement. The
earnest appeal Of Mr.. Churchill to the
mine owners that they reconsider their
attitude had no effect. Local Assocla-

and conditions will arise where it is
necessary that New Zealand shall leave
the ultimate decision with the Imperial
Government. New Zealand wild bring
to the Imperial Conference no spirit Of
carping criticism and no desire to gain
advantages for herself or further to
embarrass the Imperial Government
which is already soreIy harassed with
domestic and imperial problem. 1t IS
my opinion that New Zealand is entirely
satisfied with existing conditions and
that this Dominion has ample scope
within its limits for freedom and the

ACT OF LOCAL BRIGANDAGE,

London, Sept. 8th. The Foreign o.
fee considers Mondays incident on the
Yangtse in which three naval officers
we've morta}Iy wounded by Chinese troops
as AN act of local brigandage" II WAS
stated today. 1t is not expected to deve.-
op into a diplomatic incident, officials
said. for The reason that China is in a
state of complete chaos owing to civil
war. Great Britain, they pdded, is an
impartial ~bystander in this Oriental tur-
MOL as has been indicated by incidents
both at Canton anC on the Yangtse with
in the last week. Latest dispatches from
China indicate that all the Mercantile
Marine Officers who were held by the
Chinese near Wanhsein now are safe on
British ships with the exception OF one
who was drowned. Its felt here that the
Kiawo incident would not have developed
as it did had it been possible to negotiate
directly with Wupei Flu. AS that General
however was busily engaged in retreat
ing it was necessary to deal entirely with
General Yangsen who is Wupei Fu's
Commander in the Wanhsein district.
, 1926-10-04

One of the difficulties which developed
in the recent negotiation was the refusalof
the international Mercantile Marine to ac-
cept long term debentures in part payment
insisting on a Is year term as against the
25 years maturity suggested by the pro-
posed pur chasers. In Shipping circles it is
expected the international Mercantile Ma
rine will be a bidder for the United
States lines and that a definite action
5oward the disposal of the White Star
Line will be taken before the bids are
opened on November 8th.-Domjnjca

A controversy has broken out in
