FOR CHRISTMAS

Make your son or daughter, on the
farm, present of good used Oliver
typewriter. They are standard key
board and will give many years SER
vice. To have someone on the farm
who can use a typewriter is very con-
venient. You will then have a dup
Iicate of the letters you write. And
that is just as essential to the farmer
as it is to the business man. The
boy or girl will be glad of this op-
portunity and it will be useful to
them in after years as well as to the
parents now. You can get a good
Oliver at SIT to $40.

Taxi Driver Gets Low
Pay; Forced to Serve
Same Low Characters

The taxi-driver's life is hard one,
nav Is bad, and his fares are often
very bad. says Sol Auerbach, winner
of the New York Nations first prize
for a write-up Of American college
students summer work.
In his article Auerbach wrote about
pay:
1--WE were paid on purely commits
sion basis of 80 1/3 percent The
cab people had the Sesquicentennial
hvsteria. There were twice as many
yellow Cabs on the street as in a
normal summer. The average pay
was about $40 a week to which can
be added $40 in tips.
Further:
81 played regularly, after / a. M,
the busiest street intersection Of
West Philadelphia. On the second
story Of one corner building was a
large gambling joint. A few doors
along. a saloon. A door or two on
the other side, a cafe where drink
and women were for sale. Two girls
also 'olayed' that corner regularly.
Every night they were there and
every night they were picked up
sometimes by cops, sometimes by
smart men in automobiles. Many a
girl was transferred from private
car on that corner to cab to be
taken home. Men have stepped into
my cab to go home and have picked
a companion out of the street. have
had TO lift DRINKS out of my cab who
were so powerless that they could
not open the door, During the day
this corner is the business and trad
ing center for the respectable fami-
lies Of West Philadelphia. These
things do not happen once a week,
or even once night, but all night
long in oil parts of the city.

Albany Bill to Hinder
Petty Graft; Does Not
Stop the Big Rake Off

ALBANY, March 21.--A campaign
to do away with unofficial graft and
bribery in the business and the pro-
fessions has been started here with
the introduction Of the Fearon anti
bribery bill.
The present bill is made necessary,
according to its sponsor, because Of
the fact that a previous bill passed
several years ago has become a dead
letter because Of the strictness of its
provisions. AS that law row stands
both the bride giyer and the bride
taker are equally guilty. Consequently
neither is eager TO testify against the
other.
The present bill is not intended
against large-scale grating, it Is re-
ported, but primarily against house,
hold servants and chauffeurs. IL is
said that secret commissions and re-
bates are given to chauffeurs for uni
forms and motor accessories for
which employers pay full prices.

to be enough"

out in it's statement that if the pres

mate1ialize, it will nean "a c0ntinu-
Gus starvation Of sll other needs Of
the people of the city-such as parks,

and the same enthusiasm was shown
when Joseph hi Mola, the shop chair
man who was nearly killed by right
wing gangsters two months ago,
added his comments on the treachery
Of the International officials who not
only attacked workers physically but
attacked them with the bosses legal
weapon, the injunction.
Louis Hyman, general manager of
the Cloak and Dressmakers' Joint
Board, Rebeeca Grecht, and Francesca
Coco also spoke on the Injunction

adopted a resolution on this important
matter. A police captain and 6 Of

it remained orderly and quiet.
Anti.Injunetion Resolution.
Whereas an injunction has been
applied for and obtained by Luigi
Antonini, henehnaan Of Sigman. and
manager of Local 80 Of the /. l.. G..
w. IT,, and
Whereas this injunction is directed
against the legally elected officers
Of the Joint Board and against mem
bers Of Local SO itself, and
Whereas the corrupt international
misleadefs have had recourse to an
injunction obtained for the purpose
Of fighting the membership although
/ all Of the labor movement, both con-
sentative and progressive, has con-
demned the use of the injunction in
labor disputes as an Ubiquitous Judi
cial abuse, and
Whereas, labor is at present en-
gagged in fight to eliminate the in
junction in all labor disputes, and
at this present moment the New
York labor movement is engaged in
a Legislative effort at Albany to eli
inmate its use, in which effort Local
80 has coopersted, and
Whereas, Luigi Antonini has him
self declared in his signed article in
the Facisti paper I'll Progresso Italo-
Americana, that part of the purpose
Of the injunction is to force members
who dissent from his misrule to form
another organization outside of the
union, therefore it is resolved
That the trade unionists assem-
bled at Manhattan Lyceum on Mon
Gay, March q, declare this to be
another of Sigman's and Antonini's
alliance with the bosses and with the
Misunderstanding judges and all the
dark forces of reaction and corrup-
ton, and we further declare that the
injunction is proof Of their union
splitting policies, just as Antonini
has intimated in the organ Of Fas-
cism for which he writes articles,
and we further
Resolve that we call upon the labor
movement to disown this infamous
action and drive such men, who will
avail themselves of an Injunction
against the membership out of the
labor movement.
