BAKERS union
INVESTS $1,000
IN I.L.G.W. BONDS
Workers All Over the
Country Are Helping

Bakers Union Local 1874, of Ger
man bakers in the Bronx yesterday
invested $1,000 in "Save the Union"
bonds of the Joint Board of cloak and
dressmakers' unions.
A delegation from the local was
sent to the headquarters of the bond
issue to turn over the money and re-
ceive the bonds, and to assure the
cloak and dressmakers that 1--WE are
with you until the fight is won," ac-
cording to Julius Portnoy, secretary
of the bond issue drive. The delega-
ton said that more bonds would be
bought by the local in the near fu-
ture, and that an active campaign is
being carried on among the members.
The campaign for bonds is being
carried into the shops, also, and the
workers Of the Fashionbuilt Shop
have purchased bonds and raised
besides fifty dollars for the defense
Of their brothers in Jail and for the
protection Of the union. Collections
for defense Of the prisoners are being
made in many shops, Portnoy said.
Many workers are turning in shares
of the Russian American Industrial
Corporation in exchange for the bonds
of the Joint Board, according to
Portnoy. Shares have been received
this week from Philadelphia, Chicago,
Boston and Rochester and New York.
Additional money for the purchase
of bonds has been turned in from the
Lithuanian Women Workers of Shen-
andoah, Pennsylvania, Workmen's
Circle Branches 625, of New York.

Chicago.
The bond issue of s25O,OOO is guar
anteed by the Joint Board and by
Locals 2, 9, %, and 35-the most pow
erful in the union. They bear in

RIGHT WINCERS
BAIL OUT THUGS
BEATING PICKETS
Sensational Charge
Made at Hearing

Bail bonds and attorneys for gang
sters who beat up pickets are fur
nished not by the bosses but by the
right wing officialdom in charge of
the machinery of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union.
This startling development was
featured in magistrates court yester-
day at the hearing of four gangsters.
These pluguglies We're arrested last
week and identified as the men who
shot and wounded Samuel Cohen at
57th Street and Broadway, near
Columbus Circle, as he was leaving
the picket line at Reisman, Rothman
and Beaver. The hearing was held
before Magistrate Simpsons court on
saith Street and will be continued
Saturday.
Only one of the gangsters said he
was a garment worker. Harry Gold
man claimed to be salesman, Samuel
Ober said he was chauffeur and
Max Richter declared he was a loan
broker.
at is very strange that the Inter
national should be furnishing the
defense for statesmen, chauffeurs, and
loanbrokers", commented Louis Hy-
man, manager of the Joint Board.
Evidently the International is not
interested in defending the cases of
cloakmakers who tried to defend
themselves on the picket line, since
it withdrew its lawyers and abandon
ed them to their fate, yet "chauf-
feurs" and loan brokers" seem to OBJ
tain its protection.
Gas a matter of fact the three all
have the same profession, that Of
hired gangster and thug"

LONG HOURS AND LOW WAGES BEHIND
STRIKE OF new JERSEY BUS DRIVERS


Hudson county bus drivers, on
strike for wage increases and better
conditions, explained their case in a
statement to The DAILY WORKER
today. Listing five demands, they
suggest that Hudson county take over
the buses under municipal ownership
and operation if the bosses refuse to
listen to reason. Here is their state
ment:
All the statements made in the New
Jersey press have come from the rep
resentative Of the owners. Moses
Greenberg of the South Hudson
County Boulevard Bus Owners. We
feel he has put the facts in man
ner which is certainly biased.
There are 81 buses Iiceused to
operate on the boulevard North and
81 BUSES operated by permit on the
boulevard South. Since the strike
was declared the north end has oper-
ated only as buses and the south end
40 BUSES. Naturally the efficiency
of road service is greatly impaired
notwithstanding statements to the
contrary. Heretofore the owner of
the buses now being operated worked
for a period of 10 hours and was
then received by another driver. In
all the bus worked about 20 hours.
At the present time the owners of
those buses are working in long
shifts from IA to Is hours, a physical
impossibility as time will show. There
is an ordinance preventing any per-
son from operating public vehicle
over IL hours. After a number of
accidents have occurred as they are
bouno to, no doubt just protest of
this condition will be made.
In normal times with all the buses
operating during the rush hours it
was very difficult to take care of
the peak and yet we read every day
that it is being handled. At Newark
avenue we counted buses pass
from 40 to 60 people. The conditions
are even worse at points beyond the
Paterson Plankroad and beyond the
City Line to Bayonne. 1t would be
impossible to cite all the conditions
noted by our committee.
Now as to the cause leading up to
the strike: The old contract expired
on December 31st, 1926 and was for
one year. There are five main
clauses which could not be settled
hence the strike.
The first clause that has to be
settled is the demand for an increase
in wages from the present wage of
$42.50 per week to $4,000.
Now the second clause at issue is
the demand that our delegate, Edward
Levy be allowed to sit-in at the
Grievance Board Meetings on the
South End. At the present time
Levy sits in on 81 other boards thru
out Hudson County and we demand
that he be accorded the same privilege
on the South End. If the public
knew how many men were (fraWed)
and innocently punished they would
see the reason for our demand.
The third point at issue is the de-
nland that the 8 drivers who were
suspended from the buses owned
the entire association be replaced.
These drivers were suspended with
out trial and we know they were only
fired for taking a stand in favor of
the reelection of our delegate, Ed
ward Levy. These men were tried
before Chief Bus Starter VIM Whalen
and no serious charge could be found
against them.
The fourth point at issue is the de-
mand of 81 per hour overtime. Every

u. S. MARINES TO
RULE NICARAGUA,
COOLIDGE
Will Continue to Weld
Big Stick Over Her

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-ThO
American government tonight aban-
doned any hope for peace in Nicara-
qua, and will continue to police the
republic with United States marines,
it was officially learned at the state
department.
The navy transport Henderson was
ordered to leave Philadelphia and
pick up 800 apprentice seamen at
Newport, R. l., stop at Hampton
Roads for 600 marines and proceed
for southern waters. The seamen are
to be dropped at Guantanamo, for
training with the U. S. fleet there,
and as many more trained sailors
or marines taken on board. They will
proceed direct to Nicaragua.
The battle at Matagalpa, in which
the Diaz forces were routed and the
Sacasa forces were accused of firing
upon the United States charge daft
flares prompted this action, it was
learned.
President Coolidge today expressed
the hope that DR.. Juan Sacasa, lead
er of the rebels and Adolfo Diaz of
the constitutional government would
come to terms.
Admiral Julian Latimer, COM
mander of the American forces in
Nicaragua, conferred with DR.. Sa-
casa early today. 1t was learned
that he left there to make the long
passage through the Panama Canal
and back to the west coast to confer
with Diaz. No one would say wheth-
er his mission proved profitable.

Seven Dress Pickets
Released by Judge

Seven pickets who were arrested

citing the Irene Dress Shop at 33

lowing dismissal of charges by Magi-
strate Renaud in the jefferson Mar
ket Court yesterday when he found
there was no evidence against them.
They were Anthony Cardi, Mary
Russo, Lena Barbo, Phillip Cagnar,
Clara Silverstein, Solomon Eleson,
and Max Goldberg. This shop was
called on strike by the Joint Board
when the employers discharged work
ers for refusing to register at the In
ternational.

day in the week part of the drivers
are compelled to work from l to 3
hours overtime. In the past If a
driver demanded overtime from the
owner he was soon out Of job.
The fifth point at issue is the de-
mand that extra drivers be paid 81
per hour for trips made between and
after the rushes. In the past extra
drivrs have received $1.25 per round
trip.
1t is very amusing to listen to the
pitiful tale Of poverty from the bus
owners, many of whom have paid
from $4,000 to $4,000 for those
buses. We ask if any business man
can invest $4,000 and receive 3d.
10000 profit per year and more. At
the time we went on strike our COM
mittee offered to submit figures and
go into debate regarding the profits
made in bus operation.
The South End Boulevard buses
average SAT and the North End bus
ses $50 per day receipts. Granting
that a bus loses l day per week and
knowing that the weekly receipts vary
from 1882 per week to $3.50 it is easy
to arrive at the profits. A bus cost
about $1,000 and has a proven life
of years. The following are daily

FORD'S HATRED OF
USURERS INJURIES
SENATOR COUzENS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Wall
Streets tireless buying and selling,
its liking for prices stamped on a
chattering ticket tape, and its pam
icky fears of "radicalism", rose up
today to plague the former partners
Of Henry Ford.
These things, thrown into the con-
flict with the "anti-Wall Street" mea-
sures Ford used to keep bankers and
brokers at arms length, forced down
the value of Ford Motor Company
stock, according to Arthur o. Choate,
New York banker.
To Get Back Tax.
Choate was witness for the gov
eminent in its fight to collect $780,
100000 more income taxes from Sem
ator James Couzens of Michigan and
other former Ford stockholders. He
testified that Wall Streets alarm
over the election of Woodrow Wilson
in 1912, and the drastic restrictions
Ford threw about the sale of his COM
pany's stock to outsiders" held the
value of this stock down to $4,000
a share in 1913.
To a broker buying the stock for
resale to the public the value was de-
pressed still more, to a perfectly
ridiculous figure" Choate said.

Total daily expense totals $35 and
from that figure it can easily be seen
that a net profit of from $500 to
$4,000 is made.
1t might be suggested that it would
be to the benefit of the travelling
public if the county would buy and
operate the buses in such a case
longer ride and more satisfactory con-
ditions could be expected for the same
fare.

WAS UNINJURED IN LANDING.
Pinedo Expected to Resume Flight
From Azores.

NEW YORK, May 25 R).-Unin-
iured despite his forced landing in
mid-Atlantic during his 1,6OO-mile
jump from Trepassey, Newfoundland,
to the Azores, Col. Francesca de
Pinedo today presumably was with
his plane at Fayal. Azores, or near
there. The last adviCes from Fayal,
with communications difficult. were
that he was being toWed to port.
The Santa Maria, Pinedo'S plane,
was seen in tow of the schooner In
fantia Vesagres near latitude 41:25
north and longitude 1928 west. or
$50 miles southwest of the Azores,
by the steamer Cabo Torres, said Wire
less messages received by the Radio
Corporation of America. The vessel
was sighted at 1850 G.. NJ. t.. or $50
Eastern daylight time Monday.
A German warship went from the
Azores to meet the schooner. AdviceS
from Lisbon indicated that word had
been received from Pinedo that he was
unhurt and needed no more assistance.
One report was that he had reached
Fayal.
Pinedo's course was charted from
Trepassey to the Azores, thence to
Portugal and then to Rome. Expec-
tations are that he will resume his
flight when his plane is overhauled in
the Azores.
Pinedo left Trepassy early Monday
and was due in the Azores in the
afternoon.

ASKS CARE OF ROADS
Be VESTED IN U. S.
Committee Recommends Sections in
Rock Creek Park Under D. G.
Jurisdiction Be Transferred.

Sections of four roads lying within
the bounds of Rock Creek Park and
now under the jurisdiction of the Dis
trict of Columbia, has been recon-
mended by the co-ordinating commit
tee of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission to be turned
over to the office of the Public Build
ings and Parks of the National Capt.
tai for maintenance and repair.
The committee gave much consld-
Grafton to the matter and the belief
was expressed that the roads could
be better kept up by the park repair
gang because of the fact that they
are in the park boundaries and are
more or less isolated. Most of these
roads now are said to be in poor
condition. They are Military road,
Broad Branch road, Klingle Valley
road and Tilden street.
The committee also decided to rec
ommend to the City Commissioners
that Belmont road east of Connecticut
avenue at the south approach to the
Connecticut avenue bridge be opened
as a highway. Accompanying this
was a recommendation that it be
made one-way street for east bound
traffic.
The committee also considered
number of other highway changes, but
took no definite action at this time
further than to decide to ask the
Commissioners to make plans for hold
ing a public hearings July 1, by which
time the committee expects to COM
plete it's consideration of the changes
now before it.

they are means of healthy
recreation.
I'VE do not tell students they
must keep off the streets because
they are dangerous" he added,
NOR do We forbid them to ride
about in their automobiles because
they might be harmed morally. 1t
is up to the student not to abuse
the privilege.
I'VE measure student at
Georgetown by his conduct and his
studies and if he does not come
up to standard we get rid of him."
