ton urges no funds be contributed
to Mr.. O'Brien or a solicitor named
Hanson, or anyone connected with
this so-called Constitutional Defense
League. 1t is stated that funds
which have been collected in the past
have been used for purposes other
than those for which they were OBJ
tanned"
But the Passaic millowners didn't
know this when O'Brien rushed to
Passaic to save the workers from
revolution" last January. If these
millowners want to be economical
they should at least keep track of
the professional shake-down men who
follow militant labor organizers
from place to place in order to cash
in on the bosses fears and uncer-
tainties. But perhaps they would
have hired him anyway. After all
he is an expert in flagwaving, pat
riotism, and constitution defense for
the breaking of strikes The Pas
sale Prussians probably thought they
needed that kind of an expert last
January. And O'Brien could give
them a hot line about the strike he
helped to break in Buffalo for Mr..
Mitten of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit, and of the help he gave to
the anthracite mine owners when
they had Pat Toohey arrested in
Scranton couple of years ago, and
Of his affiliations with various
Chambers of Commerce. The man
has an exceedingly. slick line. He
looked good to the Passaic bosses.
1t was only later that he began to
bungle things. He is now said to be
off the payroll.
But enough of stoolpigeoning for
the present. Except to say that the
unsettled mills are still busy trying
to bring in strikebreakers. They
also use a certain kind of person
to help weaken morale. Witness the
advertisements in the Philadelphia
Bulletin some weeks ago, Wanted

ers in an effort to persuade them to
return to work.
THE Botany mill has settled and
L the workers are going back very
gradually. AS they go back they
run into the rival "union" that got
under way while they were out on
strike. This is the company COM
mittee. When a forelady asked a
woman striker to sign up with the
union that takes no dues, calls no
strikes, and causes no trouble" she
received the reply-"Me no wan,
company union. Me want A. F. OF
L. Me stick to real union" This ter
rible heresy probably grew out or
the "lesson in revolution" that Weis-
bord was teaching them and that the
u. T. w. local has been teaching
them these many months. Not so
bad at that. A thousand speeches
against the company union. The re-
sult-"rne stick to the real union"
| propose that the A. F. of l. inn
mediately lay down that assessment
they voted at the last convention to
fight company unionism. That they
send good chunk of the fund at
once to the Passaic relief stores.
That will do more to kill company
unionism than anything can think
of at the moment.
The Botany company union must
now be fought on the inside, just as
the Forstmann ASSEMBLY" must now
be fought on the outside. And the
Botany management will certainly
put up a fight. After all, some of
their labor advisors and welfare
managers are men who formerly
worked with the international Auxil-
larry Co.. famous labor spy corpora
ton. They will not give in to union
labor unless they are forced to by
a fighting union on the inside. That
fight remains to be fought, but the
prospects are not so bad if the spirit
Of the Botany union workers is any
sign.
THE main points to remember now
i are: 1.-The strike is not over in
four of the mills. 2-The police are
still active. One worker on the Gera
picket line was arrested the other
day for laughing. 3-Workers are
hungry. 4-Relief stores must be
kept full of beans, black bread and
spaghetti. 5-The job must be fin
ished.
julius Forstmann has written
letter to a mediation committee. He
talks about no discrimination, but
forgets this is fight for union and
for collective bargaining. Julius has
taken the. first step tho; he must be
made to take the second. The sea-
son is opening. He needs workers.
He must take that step. He will
take it if relief, lots of it, goes to
Passaic. The job must be finished.

destined to create distinctive furore
both in cinematic and labor circles

The initial New York public per-

West 50th Street. Incidentally, it

At this procedure, the Waldorf

and unorganied labor as witnessed

This new picture, needless to state,
is Of uncommon interest and splendor.

Fire apparatus and police pa

so equipped excSpt by permit.
Driving durikg hours requiring
artificial light with only one head
lamp lighted, is most reprehensible
and a violation Of law. To forestall
such q condition spare bulbs should
always be carried for emergency
use.
1.-THE law provides that no article
shall be attached to any motor vehi-
Gle in such a manner as to obstruct
the drivers view Of the highway.
ANY owner of commercial
vehicle who allows 1t to carry an
overload may suffer revocation Of
the registration of that vehicle.
"a motor vehicle with the engine
running must not stand upon any
highway unless there is someone IN
the car capable Of controlling 1t, or
the brakes are set.
There is no law specifically pro-
hibiting the riding Of three persons
on the front seat of a motor vehicle,
but If such a practice results in
crowding the driver and preventing
him from exercising full control. 1t
is quite possible that he would be
open to a charge Of reckless driv-
ing. in case OF any accident occurred.
MANY questions arise as to the
right of motor vehicle owners on the
highways in regard to animals which
are either being driven on the high
ways or have strayed into them.
There are, Of course, many instances
where injury done to animalS ia. un-
avoidable but in general the observ-
ance of reasonable care on the part
OF the motorists will enable him to
use the highways without becoming
involved In any of the unpleasant
incidents connected with the injur-
ing of dogs and other small ami
mails. When the motorist meets ami

anyone, regardless Of any laws. it
is obviously the duty of the operator
to exercise foresight and considera-
ton.
