Drunken Drivers
Gain In Jersey
Revocation of Licenses for
This Class of Motorists
Put at LISP for 1925
Dill Asks Drastic Laws

The startling proportions to
which the drunken driver menace
has mounted in New Jersey were
revealed to the Legislature in a
report for 1925 submitted by Mo-
tor Vehicle Commissioner Will
liam 7. Dill. Once again, as in
the past, Mr.. Dill appealed for an
aroused public sentiment to drive
alcohol befuddled motorists from
the roads.
Even with the certainty that a
great number of intoxicated driv-
ers were never prosecuted, Mr..
Dill disclosed that revocations of
the licenses of convicted drunken
drivers were responsible for more
than one-half the entire number
of revocations for all causes dur
ing the year and topped the list
of violations with a lead of hun
dreds.
During the year 1852 tipsy mo-
torists were deprived of their Ii
censes, while the total of all re-
vocations of drivers licenses was
2,142 The nearest approach to
the number of licenses lost by
drunken drivers were those con-
victed of speeding and reckless
driving, who numbered 466.
Figure Was 1885 in 1918
Revelations for drunken driv-
ing for 1925 were almost ten
times the number of revocations
for this cause eight years ago,
when the figure was 1876. With
the exception of 1919 and 1922
there has been a steady climb In
the number. In 1924 the figure
was 971.
I'VE reiterate there is no more
heinous crime than the operation
of a motor vehicle by a drunken
driver" said Mr.. Dill, speaking
for his department, land the mo-
torist who thus infracts our law
is entitled to no sympathy.
Many deaths have resulted in
this State that would certainly
have been averted If the automo-
bile involved in the fatality had
been operated by sober driver.
and we hope that public senti-
ment will be aroused to the neces-
sity of doing something to strike
terror in the hearts of these driv-
ers. who would make human life
the pawn for their folly"
Although 1901 convicted drunk
en- drivers have been deprived of
their licenses during the past
eight years, said Mr.. Dill, it was
proved to his satisfaction that a
large percentage of these offend
ers were never prosecuted. Much
of the failure to move against in
toxicated motorists Mr.. Dill laid
to the reluctance of Magistrates
and policemen to invoke the pro-
visions of the Motor Vehicle act
because of the mandatory Jail
sentence involved.
It was to obviate this condition,
said Mr.. Dill, that the bills
amending the drunken driving
law, and which have created a
hot fight in the Legislature, were
introduced

to be expressed by the Central Trades
and Labor Council, for they must have
very short memory. In his last
message to the state legislature, Gov.
Smith made grand promises to labor,
all of which were killed when they
came up for action. Another delegate
who stated that he is the organizer of
tenants organization in the Bronx,
said that the lieutenant governor of
New York, in a statement to the
press, has accused Governor Smith of

socialism, let us have it," was the

TO THE WORKER AND PEASANT
YOUTH. OF THE WHOLE WoRLDl

A FEW weeks ago we called you
n to raise your voice against the
bloody deeds of the Tsankoff Gov
eminent in Bulgaria, which forces
thousands of young workers and
peasants to pine away in prison and
which has condemned almost hun
bred youths to death. Now the blood
of thousands of murdered Roumanian
peasants and workers cries out for
satisfaction. Already for four years
the Roumanian Government has been
carrying on its murderous handiwork.
The rule of the Roumanian bourge-
oisie is built up upon prisons and
mountains of dead bodies.
Recent bourgeois press reports in
dictate that the reign of terror goes>on
without end.
Thus, in December 1924, 400 youths
were arrested and frightfully tor
mented in the torture chambers Of the
Siguranza, as the Roumanian secret
police is called. In June of last year
youths received sentences of up to
ten years Imprisonment in numerous
trials.
In connection with the II Interna-
tional Youth Day, September 1925,
three were again $50 young workers
and peasants arrested and turned over
to the court martial.

The Meaning of Interna-
( tiOnaI Correspondence

JUST as we are interested and
= learn thru an exchange of activi-
ties and experiences between one sec
-tion of the country and another, so
it is true to a~larger extent and with
richer experience, between one coun-
try and another in our International.
Especially are the young workers of
each country interested in the lives
and activities of the Russian Young
Communists, where they already en-
body nearly two million of the Russian
youth.
Towards this end the Young Com
munist International is encouraging
the exchange of correspondence be-
tween shop nuclei of the Russian
League and the shop nuclei of Ameri-
ca. Probably no country in the world
creates the same interest and en-
thusiasm as America. The Young
Communists of Russia have heard and
read of the American technique of in
dustry, of the productive capacity of
Americas factories. They strive to
learn from the methods of American
industrial development so as to i'm
prove the economy of the Workers
Republic.
At the same time, they inquire anxi-
ously as to the activities and develop
ment of the American Young Com
munist League. What better method
of acquainting our Russian comrades
with the condition under which the
working class of America live and of
the activities of our American League
than thru a systematic international
correspondence.
Such correspondence has been at
tempted in the past but has been
sporadic and not systemized. The Y.
c. l. has now connected series of
districts (gubernia's) of the Russian
feminist Young Communist League to
respective districts in our American
League. These will exchange regu-
lar correspondence as districts and
at the same time inaugurate SINH
lar regular correspondence with nu-
clei in each of these districts.
The district connections as outlin-
ed by the Y. c. I. are as follows;
observation-disclosures
New York-KharkOv
adelphia-Kursk
Detroit-Siberia.
Chicago district of Mos
cow
neapolis-Pensa.
Superior-Kaluga.
Cahfornia-Baku.
Other connections with the remain
ing districts will be made shortly.
This gives an immediate duty to the
comrades in each of these districts
to fulfill to our Russian comrades. Al
ready they have taken the initiative
and the Kaluga Gybernia has sent
their first correspondence to the De-
troit d. E. C. A large nucleus in
the Kharkov district has sent their
first letter to nucleus in the New
York district and the Yakhromsky

Foster Hatred.
As most of the workers in the Chi
cago plant of Armours are Negroes,
they also maintain many Negro spies,
who do all they can to weed out the
intelligent and class conscious Negro
workers. Not only do they weed out
union men, but they also spread race
hatred among the workers.
The Negro spy and the white spy
try to create as much distrust as pos
sible among the workers, knowing
that house divided against itself will
fall. They know that if the Negro
workers and the white workers dis
trust each other that no union will
ever be successful in organizing the
workers in that industry. Not only is
the race hatred played to the greatest
possible degree, but such phrases as
that God damned Lugen" has killed
"this job" referring to the Lithuanian
when speaking to the Polish worker,
and that God damned Polack is the
cause of all these rotten things here"
in talking to the Lithuanian about the
Pole.

thing about the rotten conditions. he

played against the believer on whether
there is such an animal as heaven and
where it is located.
These spies most often work on one
worker at a time rousing his anger
against the one next to him, spreading
rumors that are groundless, etc., in
an effort to antagonize one against
another.
