INDEPENDENTS IN
EFFORT AT PEACE
IN |. |. C. W. UNION
Committee of so to Seek
Formula for Unity

Plans were laid for a committee of
so at a meeting last night Of the In
dependent Group Of the Cloak and
.DressmalSers in Cooper Union to bring
about peace in the International La
dies Garment Workers Union.
Despite determined efforts to break
up the meeting, which jammed the
hall, a resolution was passed calling
ON "both factions involved in this
struggle" to declare publicly that they
agree for peace with submission Of
the question of new leadership to a
referendum vote of the membership,
conducted by an impartial committee
The committee of so is to take
steps to bring to an end the present
struggle" with instructions to get in
touch with the Jewish Council of
Greater New York to assist in that
work. The committee was given full
power to work out plans to "estab-
fish ordej" based on spirit Of unity
and solidarity Of all members of our
organization"
Harry Berlin, a member Of Local
10, whom disrupters attempted to
shout down. declared the big issue in
the union is not Communism. 81 am
not a Communist" he declared, but
if l were, l wouldn't be ashamed to
admit it."
Heard Patiently.
A. Student, another speaker, called
the entire audience and the sponsors
of the meeting Communists" and re-
fused to stop speaking when his time
was up. He yelled, 81 dare anyone
to touch me and make me STOP
The audience would not be provoked
but kept on shouting. "Time is up;
time is up, until he left the platform.
Another trick that failed to break
up the meeting was an attempt to
switch off the light. A Sigman hench-
man was discovered in time.
|. Brauner, chairman Of the Shop
Chairmen's Council. told the assem-
bled workers that he is member of
the democratic party and deputy
sheriff in Kings County, but because
he is opposed to Sigman's policy he
is accused Of being a Communist.
A. Alvois, Local 10, said that ut is
difficult to be neutral after what has
taken place in the union"

High School Teachers

WORCESTER, Mass, May 23.-
Teachers here are demanding that
long deferred increases be granted
Immediately by the school board.
High school teachers ask the maxi
mum be raised from S3,250 to 5000

establishing the nature Of the diree-
torship Of the Company. In moment
it was revealed that the members Of
the Board Of Directors hold practically
no stock in the company. The chair
man Of the board and the chairman Of
the controlling executive committee of
the board. r. J. BeIwind of the Ber-
wind-White scab coal company owns
no stock whatever! Frank Hedley.
president and general manager owns
but fifty shares. Buckner, another di-
rector, owned two! In fact all of the
directors between them do not own
hundred shares of the company stock.
This is a strange fact indeed. But
the meaning Of it soon will become
clear. On further questioning it was
revealed that the coal bill of the In
terborough amounts to some four
millions Of dollars a year; the insur-
snce bill amounts TO a figure in the
large hundreds Of thousands. perhaps
more; the amount could not be extri-
Gated from the unwilling lips Of
Fisher. To the question often re-
peated as to how he explained the
fact that none of the directors owned
an interest in the welfare of the com
psny, Fisher had no available an
swer.
Wall Street Control.
The hearings broke off at this point.
What do the two sets of facts dis
closed mean! The first. that the stock
is in the hands of Wall Street brokers
who are in possession of a voting
trust enabling them to manipulate it
at will, is proof that stock owners as
we'll as the city and the public at
large are being exploited by the huge
Plunderbund inaugurated by the trac-
tion bandits. The brokers have moth
ing to lose in the swindle inasmuch as
they do not own the stock but have
merely secured possession of it for
trading purposes and receive their
commissions. At the same time the
brokers are themselves under the
thumb of the Morgan interests which
now control the B. NJ. T.
Plumber Not Service.
The second fact disclosed, that the
directors of the I. r. r. do not own
any Of the stock, convicts them as
already stated in the DAILY WORK
Err, of being a mere Plunderbund
whose interests are directly opposed
to efficient service.
They make their rake off and get
their graft through enormous salaries
and through the sale of coal, insur-
ance, building supplies, steel, and
other materials to themselves at enor-
mously inflated prices.
They are limited in this graft only
by the necessity of paying interest on
the bonds Of the company. a matter
not difficult when it is remembered
that the city pays a yearly deficit Of
over s11 100000 towards the upkeep
Of the subways.
The facts at the basis Of the Plum
derbund are explained in another col
umn of The DAILY WORKER.

, north and the B. NJ, T. built the main
Broadway line through the heart of
the city.
The following were the conditions
under which the transit companies
agreed to operate the enlarged sys-
tens:
The first charge out Of the earn
ings Of the subways was to go in
payment as interest on the original
citv's investment of about So, 100000
under Contracts No. 1 and No. 2. This
sum, a relatively small amount, has
been the only return which the city
has thus far received on its total Of
over 100000 invested.
The second charge is for interest
and sinking fund charges on the
watered stock and padded invest
ments of the companies.
Easy Money.
The third charge IL in the form of
a so-called preferential" which was
a sum arrived at by taking the
amount claimed to be the earnings of
the companies as an average for the
years 1910 and 1911. This prefer
entail of guaranteed earnings"
amounts in the case of the /. r. t.
to the sum Of s6,S35,O0O and in the
case of the B. NJ. T. to the sum of
S3,5O0,000 annually! The "preferen-
tails" are profits practically guaran-
teed by the city treasury.
Only after the above charges which
go to the companies are paid, does
the city receive any interest on its in
vestments of over $240,000,000. There
is another joker in the agreements:
In the event that the earnings of the
lines do not provide sufficient funds
after the interest and sinking fund
charges are paid to the companies to
cover the guaranteed preferential"
Of $6,335,0O0 and $3,5OO,OOO to the
companies yearly, the city becomes
indebted to the companies for the de-
ficit and this deficit is cumulative and
bears interest compounded semi
annually at per cent.
S7OO, 100000.
nave AOu ever LdkSH 4 sum OF
money and figured it at interest
compounded semi-annually for
period of years? Then you know the
joke! The loss to the city through
this deficit alone estimated at the
present rate of accumulation would,
if carried out for the period Of 40
years, the term of the contract,
amount to SEVEN HUNDRED
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!
The city has received not a cent of
return on the amount of over $780,
100000 representing the additional
investments under Contracts No. 8
and No. 4. To pay the interest on its
bonds issued to raise this investment,
1t has yearly had to put ON the city
budget a sum now over $11,000,000

Britain Mlfhdrawg Consnl.

HANkOW, May 23.-Great Britain
has withdrawn her consul from Chin
kiang. All Of the archives Of the
consulate have been removed. it is
reported.
The withdrawal Of the Chinkianp
consul coming on the heels Of the re-
call of the British representative at
Hankow marks new offensive Of
imperialist Britain against the Ma
tionalist government here.
That Britain may attempt to fogci-
bly, regain the Hankow concession
which she lost in treaty signed
early this year is not unlikely. OBJ
servers here regard the withdrawal
Of Great Blitain's diplomatic repre-
sentatives from cities in the control
Of the Nationalist is regarded as a
prelude to open war against the Han
kow government.
