More Than Thirty Hurt
As Weehawken Trolley
Hits West Shore Train

WEEHAWKEN, n. J., Sept. 10.
More than thirty persons, many
of them women and children, were
injured late this afternoon when
west-bound freight train on the
West Shore Railroad crashed into
a crowded-trolley car at the Willow
avenue crossing here.
Many of the injured are in cri-
teal conditions in hospitals near
the scene of the accident and are
not expected to live. More than
40 persons were in the trolley and
nearly all sustained injuries of
some nature.
The crash occurred just at the
rush hour and the passengers were
returning to their homes in North
Jersey. The body of the trolley
was ripped from the trucks and
the injured, some moaning, some
unconscious, were scattered every
where. Some were pinned beneath
pieces of the wreckage.

ATTEMPT TO STOP
PROGRESSIVE CAP
WORKERS PROTEST

In spite of right wing committees
that were stationed at corners urging
workers not to attend, several hum
drets capmakers gathered in Manhat-
tan Lyceum, Sc East Fourth St.. yes
terday evening to protest against the
methods used by the administration
against the membership.
Referring to the present elections,
the speakers pointed out that in the
past watchers were allowed during the
balloting. AS a result a progressive
worker was elected. In the last cleo
ton watchers were barred, resulting
in the defeat of the left winger. At
the present time, militant candidates
are now even on the ballot.
Against Tax.
The speakers also showed that the
$50 tax is not necessary and as a pro-
test the capmakers were urged to vote
against the three right wing candi-
dates.

The Legion Breaks
Strikes, Is Charge
Of Former Member

Exposure of the American Legion
as a strikebreaking agency and a
plea for a real rank and file ex-ser-
vicemen organization is contained in
a letter received by the DAILY
WORKER from a former member of
the legion ..-
His letter, which follows, relates
how the legion sent him to jobs
where strikes were taking place:
"To the Editor of The Daily Worker.
Il am sure there are a good many
men amongst US who saw service in
the late war who have the interests
of the working people at heart, who
will agree with me on the view of or
ganizing an organization in opposi-
ton to the American Legion, the Ku
kluX Klan and all other military and
patriotic societies.
"This organization should have a
very distinct name, so as not to con-
flict with any other ex-servicemen's
organization. It's main principles
should be, loyalty to the proletarian
class, agitate and spread propaganda
against future wars, complete free
dom of all suppressed people who are
under the yoke of American imperi-
alism and to cooperate with all pro-
gressive labor bodies.
another good feature would be,
to hold public meetings and lectures
to enlighten the masses the true aim
OF such an organization.
81 am former member of the
American Legion ana have been sent
to several strike jobs through
their employment office which I had
to refuse. Upon my return to the
employment office / related my story
to the clerk in charge and upon the
base of my complaint, with a smile
on his face he told me that he was
ignorant of the fact, which made me
think that he was lying. | am sure
there are lots of ex-servicemen who
had the same experience while seek
ing work from the American Legion
employment office.

Added to the regular routine in

problem of curtailing the time of the
various classes in order to provide
places for the surplus school popula-
ton of the city.
School authorities yesterday admit
ted that there is an increase of at
least $4,000 students over last years
attendance which far surpasses the
facilities Of the city's school build
ings. Thirteen buildings erected dur

the number slightly.
Teachers Face Problem.
The part-time arrangement is eR-
pected to increase especially in vari-
GUS sections of Brooklyn, Queens and
the Bronx. In the latter section, par
ticularly, the school teachers will face
a serious problem in view Of the con-
slant flow of population from Man

in the Bronx was told that the situa-
ton this year is not surprising. mas
much as the school congestion has be-
come a chronic feature Of New York's

The usual features Of Tammany

and inertia-are held responsible for
the manner in which the city's school

SECRET HEARING
OF MILK SCANDAL
EVIDENCE BEGINS
Fear Whitewashing of
Higher-Ups

The investigation" of the giant
milk graft scandal was begun in the
Bronx County Court yesterday when
District Attorney John E. Mcclellan
presented the grand jury with evil
dence contained in the report of for
mer Justice Charles H. Kelby.
The Kelby report, it has been
charged, brought no evidence against
the higher-ups in the milk fraud
which boosted the price of milk and
which jeopardized the lives of New
York workers with impure dairy pro
ducts. Proceedings similar to the
Bronx hearings will be held in New
York and Bronx counties within the
next few days.
Bronx Hearings Secret.
Three witnesses were called yester-
day to testify before the Bronx coun-
ty grand jury. Their names were not
disclosed by District Attorney Nc
Geehan. The hearings of the Bronx
grand jury will be stretched out for
four weeks or more and will be made
to indict those involved in the scandal.
Previous inquiries conducted result
ed in the conviction of officials who
held high offices in the health depart
ment. Among those convicted Of COM
plicity in graft were Thomas J.
Clougher, secretary to former health
commissioner, who was sentenced to
serve from five to ten years in Sing
Sing; @rederick w. Kaufman, for
mer supervising milk inspector, who
received a sentence of from three and
a half to ten years, and William H.
Kehoe, former assistant corporation
counsel who was granted certificate
Of reasonable doubt and is now free
pending appeal.
Demand Special Investigation.
The Citizens Union, fearing that
the scandal will be whitewashed, has
urged that a special encouragement
be named to investigate the situation.

work, home work and many other
sweat shop conditions. Those ele-
ments served to create an overpro-
duction in the industry which result
ed in cut-throat competition among
the manufacturers and in widespread
unemployment during what is nor
mally the height of the season The
net result of this decentralization in
the industry, it was reported, is that
union conditions have been wiped out,
and wages have been degraded to the
lowest level, while the union is so
weakened as to be helpless in the
face of the numerous evils.
"The dressing and dyeing industry
it was reported, finds itself in the
same condition as the manufacturing
industry of New York. Out of five
million skins dressed and dyed last
year, more than so per cent were
made in open shops at prices lower
than non-union shops-a condition
which has led to the Consolidated
Rabbit Dressers' Association to de-
mand that wages be cut. Many dress
ing and dyeing shops have broken
their contracts with the unions. Lo-
Gals 25 and SO were compelled to call
out the workers on strike to remedy
this situation. Similar conditions
exist in Boston, Philadelphia, Chi
cago and the Canadian territory.
To Bring About Unity.
These were the conditions that
prompted the calling of this special
meeting. The executive of the Unity
Conference Committee decided to
make an organized effort to bring
about unity in the International which
it is recognized is the only way to
bring back sterilization in the fur
industry and union conditions to the
fur workers.
For this purpose, the executive
decided to communicate with William
Green, president of the American
Federation Of Labor in order to en-
list his aid in unifying the Interna-
tional. Should this effort prove fu-
tile, the executive has adopted mea-
sures that will enable it at once to
initiate strong offensive in all the
International locals for the purpose
of bringing about unity, if necessary,
over the heads of those who may be
interested in preserving the present
chaotic conditions regardless Of the
disastrous effects they have upon tho
working standards Of the fur work.
ers.
THE executive was pleased to note
that the sad state of affairs in the
industry is beginning to sober up
some of those responsible for the in
ternal strife in the union, both among
the manufacturers as well as among
the officials of the International. This
condition, as well as the deep-rooted
discomfort Of the rank and file with
the present state of affairs, makes
the executive hopeful of meeting with
success in its campaign for unity.

Magistrate We'll on a charge of as
sault made by right wing adherent
named Morris Becker
The workers were arrested Monday
evening at Fifth Avenue and 25th
Street as they were walking down
from the market They were first
stopped by members of the industrial
squad, lined up against a nearby
building and searched, and then up
came a right winger named Sam
Greenberg, with two others, one of
whom Becker said that all these
eight workers had committed an as
sault upon him two weeks ago. The
frame-up was so brazen that when
the workers were taken to the police
station, Greenberg had to tell Becker
which men he was to identify. The
eight men were then released on $500
bail each.

Yesterday Samuel Marckewitz APP
peared in behalf of the complainant
Becker who had no witnesses to the
alleged assault, who could show no
marks Of any assault, and who ad-
mitted on the stand that he had not
needed the services of a doctor. In
spite of all this lack of any evidence,
Marckewitz demanded that the bail
for the defendants be raised since
some of them had been convicted of
disorderly conduct during the cloak
strike last year. This service in be-
half of the strike was their only
police record, yet because of it bail
for four of the men was raised to
$500, and for two of them to $4,000.

MOSCOW, U. s. S. R., Sept. ID
The anti-Soviet Union agitation that
is going on in the French reactionary
press is very much like the movement
preceding the Anglo-Soviet break, de-
clareG Izvestia today.
"The attempt of the English foreign
minister (Sir Austen Chamberlain to
organize an anti-Soviet bloc, at the
June session of the League Of Ma
tons failed. Nevertheless the attempt
was step forward in carrying out
the hostile plan of surrounding the
Soviet Union" Izvestia says.

The beginning of the vicious anti
Soviet campaign and the demand for
recall of Rakovsky strangely comedies
with Sir Austen Chamberlain's visit
to Paris, the Izvestia points out. The
attempt of British oil magnates to
stop the delivery of Soviet oil to
France is also influential in the pro-
paganda war on the U. S. S. R.
The campaign reveals that there
are adherents of rupture with the
Soviet Union in the French govern
ment," the Izvestia concludes.
