TO END AUTO TRUCK DISPUTE
Maryland Delegation Meets Delaware
and Will Recommend Reciprocity

Joint committees of the Maryland
adm Delaware Legislatures met Mon
day afternoon in parlor of the Hotel
Richardson, at Dover, to discuss the
controversy between the two states
over the licensing of automobiles, and
as a result of the conference the
Maryland delegation agreed they
would return to Annapolis and en-
deavor to have legislation enacted
that would assure full reciprocity be-
tween the two states. Delaware laws
extend reciprocal relations with other
states adopting similar laws, but un-
der the present Maryland laws Della
ware truck or bus owners are requir-
ed to secure a permit from the Public
Service Commission of that state and
also take out Maryland license be-
fore they can operate over any fixde
route. They are subject to fine if
they should leave this fixed route. AS
a retaliatory measure Delaware last
fall began demanding the licensing of
Maryland trucks using the Delaware
highways.

Urge Millinery Workers
To Vote for Left Wing
Candidates in Election

Elections began yesterday in the
Millinery Workers union for all Of
ficers of the uptown branch, and in
connection with the campaign of the
progressives a leaflet was issued by
the millinery section of the T. u. f.
L., urging all class-conscious workers
to vote for NJ Zeibel, as secretary or
ganizer; and j. Goldstock, H. Thu
cowsky and /. Musin as organizers.
In order to prepare the union to
gain better conditions in the trade,
and to establish the 40-hour week
which the workers are demanding,
the union must have an aggressive
leadership, says the leaflet, and it
points out in detail the jobber prob
lens which face the organized mil
linery workers.
The right wing betrayal Of the trade
unions Of this city is denounced in no
uncertain terms, and the workers are
asked to show by their votes that
they repudiate such actions and are
determined to fight for amalgamation
of the needle trades unions.
The elections for the millinery
workers organizers will continue
every day until Saturday.

Another challenge to Morris Sig.

ternoon.
Taken Over"
In answer to some Of Mr.. Hyman's
statements about the critical union
situation which Sigman and his fol-
lowers have created, the international
president claimed that the joint board
was not expelled, but its affairs had
been taken over by the international
which had a perfect right to do this
in case Of emergency.
Illegal Anyway.
"Well, whatever you call tex
pulsion or not" said Hyman, cit is
Illegal. You have no authority to do
it. If you have such autocratic
powers as you claim, why didn't you
prevent the strike in July instead of
talking about it rs weeks later?"
Louis Hyman, representing the
joint board, and Morris Sigman,
David Dubinslsy, Morris Hillquit, and
$. Nagel, representing the Interna-
tional, met before the impartial
chairman to discuss a settlement OF
a complaint in which the chairman
had dealt with the regularly elected
joint board instead of the Interna-
tionals pet joint board.
Hyman accused Sigman of attempt
ing to force the impartial chairman
into position where he would seem
to approve the International's policy
and therefore strengthen it's attack
upon the workers. At the close Of
the discussion, Hyman asked permits
sion, which was granted, to file a
formal reply to lengthy legal state
ment which had been presented by
Mr.. Hillquit.
