Daily Worker Urges
Attendance at Meets
Continued from Page One)


lean Federation of Labor in Los An
geles stated that the injunction was
the greatest single menace to organ
lied labor. Injunctions are making
slaves of American workers.
How can injunctions, especially the
latest and most outrageous of injunc-
tions, that asked by the l. r. T., be
fought and defeated?
They can not be beaten by delay
and compromise and dickering with
Mayor Walker, whose police helped to
smash the last strike. They can not
be beaten by fake conferences in
which the traction barons get every
thing and the workers nothing.
The traction injunction can not be
beaten by union officials who tell
workers that they have won when
they have been tricked and fooled
lnjunctions can not be beaten, COM
pany unions smashed and real unions
quilt by nlay ing around with demo-
crat and republican politicians who
are hano in glove with the traction
barcns.
Some Obstacles.
In the fight of the traction work
ers against company unionism, the
81 ! az: / l'klist slsttm and the "yel-
low dog" contract, you have been
hampered by the timid and compro-
missing actions of the officialdom of
the -Amalgamated Association and A
F. of L. officials. The settlement"
of last summer was a disgraceful af-
fair in which the interests of the trac-
ton workers were the last thing con-
sidered.
lnjunctions can not be beaten and
real unions built by catering to the
political ambitions of Governor Smith
and Mayor Walker. Let these poll
ticians look out for themselves. The
traction workers have their own bat
tie to fight.
What good does it do traction
workers for Walker to say that the
! L. R. T. agreed to no discrimination
when this same company is now try
ing to outlaw the whole labor move
ment? If Walker wants to help the
traction workers all he has to do is
to keep his police from doing the dir
ty work for the traction barons.
Traction workers of New York City:
Fight for your right to organize in
a union Of your own choice.
Fight against the injunction that
forces you to belong to company
unions.
Demand that the state and city
cease to use the courts, judges and
police against you when you try to
organize.
Go To Meeting.
Go to the meetings this morning
and tonight, Friday, 10;30 "a. m. and
300 p. M, Third Ave. and 86th ST..
and demand that the officials of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employees carry
on a real campaign of struggle and
organization.
| Demand that these labor leaders
rally the whole labor movement to
help you organize and beat the in
| junction.
Demand that no attention be paid
to the injunction.
J Organize in spite of the injunction
Show the traction barons that injunc-
tions stop cars but can't run them.
Build a powerful union of traction
workers. Demand that the Central
labor Union, the entire forces Of the
American Federation of Labor be
