Delay Court Fight.
Plans worked out at the confer
ence, Coleman said yesterday, will be
presented to the rank and file trac-
ton workers at tomorrow's meet
ings.
Arguments before the supreme
court on the injunction set for to-
morrow, have been postponed by
agreement between counsel for the
men and the I. r. T.
The postponement was requested
by Nathan Petlman, union attorney,
on the ground that Green, the prin-
clpal defendant, was to reach New
York today and under the law is al
lowed five days to prepare defense.
He is to be served with papers in the
case today.

indications are that the mass meet
lngs arranged for tomorrow will be
used to fire off series Of attacks
on what the A. F. of L. calls "com-
pany unionism"
The editorial article of the A. F.
OF l.. News Letter for this week has
blast at company unionism" and
asks if the workers and the public
are going to be fooled by phrases and
rhetoric that are meaningless from a
social-economic point of view.
There also appears to be something
in the nature of challenge in these
meetings by the Amalgamated. They
may be used by the A. F. of L. men
to explain their attitude on the in
junction in question and on iniunc-
tons in general. The meetings also
can be used to start line of action
that may leave The door open for re-
treat.
The A. F. of L. men, big and lit
tie, are coming here and until their
actual program is published uittle Sc
rious attention can be paid to news
paper statements and to interviews"
by leaders. When expedient all these
interviews and statements can be set
aside or repudiated.
The scheduled conference will take
place and program will be formu-
lated with Green and all the big
chiefs in on it. But whether it will
be program of action, positive and
determined, or inaction and retreat
remains to be seen.
The last big noise of July 20 to &c
with the air full of rumors of Strike,
when none was contemplated, COM
pels thoughtful and experienced read
ers to suspend judgement.

and five or six arrests are a daily oc-

Last year following a strike in De-

Wares HOOIigans
Steal Everything
In PhiIa. Voting

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. civilian
S. Wares hooligans will control the
city Of Philadelphia for four more
years, unless something happens to
shake that nest of corruption out of
the offices. it regularly steals.
Hoodlumism reigned ram pa n t
throughout the city and the customary
ballot box stealings, stuffing, the
sluggings and general terror worked
in the customary manner and at the
conclusion Of the day the count showed
Harry A. Mackey, the Ware candidate
for mayor, elected by a huge
majority" over his opponent, ].

ticket.
Mackey Manager For Ware.
Mackey was campaign manager for
Ware in his notorious senatorial cam
paign last year which resulted in
Ware stealing the nomination for SEN
ator on the republican ticket. Since
the elections of last year that CRATER
and crook has formed an alliance with
the Mellon machine of Pittsburgh,
controlled by Andrew w. Mellon,
secretary Of the treasury in the Cool
idge cabinet, therefore Pennsylvania
is now ruled by the Mellon-Vare COM
bination. 1t is reliably reported that
much Mellon money was used to sup
plement the usual Ware slush fund
which is obtained from Matchmaking
the beneficiaries of the crooked Phila-
delphia machine.
Cunningham Elected Sheriff.
Thomas W. big Tom) Cunning
ham, one of the crooked politicians,
who gained notoriety during the Reed
senatorial investigation of the slush
funds used in the Ware campaign,
was elected sheriff of the county.
Cunningham succeeded in lodging
subpoena servers during the time the
senate committee was sitting by sur
rounding himself with gangsters and
other criminal elements from Vine
and Callowhill streets.
Charges Widespread Corruption
The opponents of the Ware machine,
supporting the candidacy of ]. Hamp-
ton Moore, have raised the charge
of graft, which is the customary pro-
cedure because it is so open and
brazen in this city.
Minority Parties.
The main fight was between the
Ware machine and the Moore follow
ers and the main issues of the cam
paign were ignored. Neither of the
major groups said word in behalf
of labor, while the democrat candi-
dates, under the leadership of Thomas
A. Logue, condemned both Ware and
Moore. The returns for the democrats
have not yet been made public.
The only party defending the in
terests of the working class was the
Workers (Communist) Party, with H
M. Wicks as candidate for mayor. No
returns have yet been reported on the
vote received. 1t is generally known
that the votes Of the minority parties
are divided among the various ma
jority candidates if they are needed by
the Ware machine. This method was
exposed by the senatorial investiga-
ting committee last year, but was
used yesterday in the same way as
before.

Laundry Strike Is
Inspiration to All
To Join the Union

ELIZABETH, N. j., Nov. 1.-TWO
large meetings in the Elizabeth La
Dor Lyceum were we'll attended by
laundry workers who had to run the
gauntlet of threats, spying and init
midation by their employers to get
there. The work of organizing the
10000 laundry workers of New Jer-
sey into the Transfers, Chouffeurs
and Stablemen's union goes on, and
the strike at Carteret is an inspiration
to all who toll in this trade.
Good Solidarity.
The strike continues, with the work
ers, many of them trying to provide
for large families, showing the best
spirit, and the imported scabs, guerril-
las and gangsters committing acts of
violence both on the real workers and
the shirts of those unwary citizens
who have been so fool-hardy as to
send their laundry to the strike
breaking mangles.
Very few of the residents of this
vicinity will patronize the scab
laundries.
Concert GlVen.
General Organizer jenkins of the
American Federation of Labor and
organizer Morris of the union are
confident that the strike will be won
soon, as the laundry owners are on
their last legs.
A concert and dance is being given
by the New Jersey laundry workers
union to raise funds for the strike
