BOX MAKERS ARE
STRONG, ENTERING
FOURTEENTH week
Bosses Plead With Them
to Come Back
lspeoIaI 70 nae paIIy Workerl

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The begin
ming of the fourteenth week of their
strike saw the paper box workers
with the biggest morning picket line
since the strike and with additional
strikers as result of the coming out
Of some of the strikebreakers. Since
the slow season started the bosses,
who had been making such wonderful
promises to the scabs, did not hesi-
tate to fire many.
Beg Workers to Return.
In spite of this being the time Of
year when there is usually no work,
the employers spent the New Year
weekend in sending letters and tele-
grams to their former employees to
come back to work, and in visiting
their homes in their high-powered
cars pleading with them to return.
But the union expected this and sent
kilograms to all the workers to meet
at the union headquarters early Mon
day morning, which they did, and
went from there in mass formation to
the picket line.
Busy Season Opens.
The reason the bosses are rushing
TO get their workers now is that they
need to know whether they will have
workers for the new season, since the
loss of one season is all they can pos
sibly afford.
The fight the last season was so
costly, and resulted in losing all their
customers to the open shops, who
were supposed to be their friends.
Since the failure of the ruses of the
employers over the weekend the
union is expecting settlement before
the season starts in the middle of
January.
Burke Promises Victory.
John P. Burke of the International
Brotherhood Of Pulp, Sulphite and
Paper Mill Workers spoke at the
crowded mass meeting in the Church
Of All Nations. He said: Il am going
to stay in the city to organize the
machinery to go out and get money
enough to carry the strike to victory.
The bosses realize by now that you
are unconquerable and that it simply
means increased losses to delay sign
ing with the union"

POLICE ADD TO
HARDSHIPS OF
TAXI DRIVERS
Parking Rules Resented
by Cabmen
BY SYLVAN A. PoLLACK.
Especial to The Daily Worker)

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-With the in
PRODUCTION Of new traffic laws on jan
uary / the hardships that the $4,000
taxi drivers in this city have to con.
tend with have become more difficult.
According to the new regulations of
the police department, parking is pro-
hibited on Fifth avenue below 59th
street from p. m. to z p. m. Dur
ing the recent Interborough Rapid
Transit company strike emergency
regulations prohibited parking from
p. m. to p. m. But due to OBJ
jections by the Fifth Avenue Associa-
ton, which is composed of the mer-
chants on that thorofare, who COM
planned that it interfered with their
business, the change was made, re-
sulting in the mo parking" rule be-
ginning one hour later every day.
VIII Not Relieve Congestion.
The new regulations will not relieve
the traffic congestion, rs the heavy
traffic starts about p. m. Pierce
Arrows, Packards, Roll-Royces and
other expensive cars are parked along
Fifth avenue, while their owners are
shopping or at their clubs, making the
task of the taxi drivers one which is
a strain on their nervous system.
Another difficulty that they must
face is the Fifth avenue buses. Ac-
cording to regulations, not more than
two are supposed to be on block at
the same time. Yet as many as 10
or IL are often to be seen on one
street.
Always Wrong.
Whenever a difficulty arises the
taxi drivers are wrong, all attempts
being made to satisfy the Merchants
Association and the Fifth Avenue Bus
company at the expense of the taxi
drivers.
The above numerated regulations
are carried over as part Of the policy
of former Police Commissioner Rich
ard e. Enright, who served under
former Mayor John F. Hylan.
When the present mayor, James ].
Walker, was a candidate, he carried
on an extensive campaign among the
taxi drivers, promising them Justice"
if he was elected. He went as far
as to publish a special newspaper for
distribution among them, called, 1.-THE
Square Deal"
Worse Than "Red Nike"
"As bad as Red Mike was (referring
to Hylan), our Jimmie is worse"
stated one taxi driver to The DAILY
WORKER.
"That's what we get for voting for
our Jimmie" said another disillu-
stoned worker.

Now 1t Is an Airplane
Swindle; Charge False
High Record in Trial

PARIS, Sept. 5.-A Committee of
the French Aero Club met today to
hear the defense of Jean Calico, who
is accused of classifying his paragraph
in order to obtain an altitude record
Callizo, during a flight last week,
claimed to have reached an altitude
of $4,000 metres. His accusers claim
he prepared Paragraph sheet with
invisible ink showing height varia-
tions in their natural ascendancy.
Calico is alleged to have opened the
Paragraph seals and sprayed the in
visible ink with chemical compound
which brought it into relief. Then, it
is claimed he flew around at an alti-
tude of from 1000 to 5000 metres
for the length of time it would have
taken him to ascend to 1900 metres.
The aviator has not officially denied
the charges, but has asked the French
| Aero Club for permission to make
another flight, claiming he could es-
| tablish an altitude record that would
be unquestioned.

Elevator Workers Will
Build Strong Union to
Fight Starvation Wages

The Elevator Operators Union is
reorganizing it's ranks and preparing
to carry on action on an increased
scale. The Union, which has been al
lowed to stagnate, is reviving again
and is now making new drive for
membership and needs the support of
all workers in this work
There are between 10000 and 50,-
600 elevator operators and only a
small percentage of these are organ
lied. Conditions among these work
tors, many with large families, often
work from 10 to II hours day for
6 days week for which they receive
from $500 to $1,000. In office build
ings they may get as high as $500
a week, but these are exceptional
wages.
Operators in apartment houses
work on ten hour day shifts for a
six day week. The night shift how
ever, is ID hours for six night week.
For hours like these the bosses give"
them from $4,000 to $500 month.
Feeling among the elevator opera
TORS mas oeen growing Tor some time
and they are now in a position and
are ready to carry on campaign
of organization in order to wiring
from the bosses the bare right to live
above the starvation level. They are
ready to fight for better conditions,
shorter hours of labor and higher
wages.
In this effort the elevator opera
tors deserve the support of all work
ers. The most effective means of
helping them spread their union is for
workers everywhere to urge the
elevator operators in their buildings
to join the Elevator Operators Union
The Union has its weekly meeting
every Friday night at p. m. at 231
f. 14th Street, New York City.

Half Are Destitute.

The delegation presented the busy
secretary with facts and figures to
show that there were only half of
the flooded farmers able to raise any
crop this year; that over $4,000 al
ready were i'll of pellagra, a disease
of semi-starvation, with more falling
sick every day; that malaria and ty-
phoid fever are getting good start,
tho no case records are being kept,
and that all these conditions exist
among the white population-the sit
uation among the Negro serfs on
southern plantations being indie
scribably worse, and absolutely I'M
estimated. The only worry of the
delegation about the miserable Ne
groes is that plague starting among
them affects the whites, and that they
may be SO reduced in strength as not
to be able to pillow.
Little Farmers Suffer.
The delegation pointed out that the
number of counties that were mum
dated in the seven river States, Him
DIS, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana,
was 101.
The destitute twenty" include the
counties of Washington, Issaquena
and Sharkey in Mississippi; the par
ishes of Concordia, Tensas, Madison,
Avoyelles, st. Landry and st. Martin
in Louisiana, and Chicot, Desha and
Arkansas Counties in Arkansas. I'm
der normal conditions no richer farm
lands exist in all America than in
these.
In the twenty counties live more
than 100000 people, 80 per cent of
them little farmers.
Under existing law the people liv-
ing behind the levees must pay one
third Of the construction, maintenance
and repair costs. This they cannot
do in the flood zones of the three
Southern Valley States. Therefore,
looming up and demanding solution in
the near future is the all-important
problem involving taxes, and this in
cludes the payment of interest on
more than $40,000,000 of levee and
drainage bonds, the financing for the
1928 crop of thousands Of farmers
and lastly the payment Of taxes other
than those involving flood protection

UNITY COMMITTEE
FURRIERS' UNION
MEETS SATURDAY
To Decide on Methods
for Rebuilding Union

A call for conference to discus
the "deplorable and chaotic condi-
tions existing" in the International
Fur Workers Union has been re-
ceived by the New~York Joint Board
from the chairman and secretary of
the Unity Conference Committee
which was. organized at the close of
the Washington convention in June.
The meeting is to be held at the
office of the Joint Board, % East
22nd Street, New York, next Satur-
day, 10 a. m.
The call for the conference sent
out by the Unity Conference, signed
by H. Highlander, chairman, and w.
Wolliner, reads as follows:
Contents of Call
"In view of the deplorable and
chaotic conditions existing in our in
ternational union today, the situation
since the last convention held in
Washington, has grown from bad to
worse. The season is now on, and
yet not even an attempt at organiza-
tional work has been made on the
part of our "so-called" international
officers. The union is little by little
losing ground, not only in New York,
where from a powerful organization
remnant has been left, but also
in out-of- town fur centres. This is
all due to the smashing and break
ing policies pursued by the interna
tional. Our trade needs organization
work, which has been neglected for
years by the international in every
fur centre of United States as well
as Canada.
For Rank and File.
"In the present state in which our
organization rests, we must, for
those that the organization is dear
and near to, find way out of it, by
saving the union for the interests
of the fur workers at large. The
union, once and for all, must be made
a concentration point for the rank
and file and not for union-smashers
and strike-breakers.
eve therefore deem it advisable
and very important to call together
the Executive Committee of the
Unity Conference Committee, which
will take place on Saturday, Septem-
Der 10th, in New York City. Every
one should be in New York not later
than Friday or Saturday morning to
enable us to convene the sessions
Saturday, 10 a. M, at the office of
the Joint Board, p East 22nd ST.,
New York.
Hoping for successful delibera-
ton and one in which you will also
participate"
