What promises to be decided

A unique color scheme and plan
of interior decoration makes this

Covert Agreements.
'It is probable that these conces-
sions to the manufacturers are not
the only ones that Sigman has made" ;"
Louis Hyman, manager of the joint
board, said today in discussing the
terms of the agreement. I'VE know
from past experience that he is likely
to make supplementary and secret
agreement with the employers, prac-
tically multiplying important points in
the agreement that he announces to
the workers"
Happened Before.
Such a case occurred in 1925 when
it was discovered that former Vice.
President Feinberg had made "sec-
agreement with the Ameri-
can Association of Dress Manufactur.
ers that nullified the most important
points in the agreement by stipulat-
ing that such clauses would not be
enforced. Sigman is perfectly willing
to sign away the hard-won rights OF
the workers in his unscrupulous at
tempts to crush the honest and pro-
gressive elements of the union.
1t has been openly announced in the
trade papers during this past week
that the employers would deal with
whichever side would consent to their
terms, and they have realized that the
joint board would never allow the
terms they are getting from the In
ternational. Sigman is making a
united front with the employers
against the workers in order to fur.
ther his own nefarious schemes.

TAxICAB DRIVERS

BY NIGHT CLUBS
Victimized by Petty
Plottings

Especial to The Daily Worker)

NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 16--The
taxi drivers of this city in addition to
meeting the persecution of the po-
lice officials, must face the intrigue
and petty plotting of the night club
owners.
These night clubs, owned in many
cases by gunmen and criminals at
tempt to secure the assistance of the
drivers in their drive for more suck
ers to part with their bankroll. They
are promised 33 1-3 and 40 per cent
of what the clubs receive for steer
ing the 'lushers" (taxi terminology)
to the particular speakeasy, but
rarely ever receive it. At the most,
they obtain very small fraction of
the bill.
Give Out Cards.
Almost every afternoon, and some
times in the evenings, cards are Civ
en- out to the passing taxi drivers in
the Times Square district. They state
the name and address of the night
club and the amount of commission
paid. Several OF them are Crystal
Club, 230 w. as street, who pay 40
per cent to the drivers; Club Seakret,
143 w. SO street, who pay 33-1-3 per
cent; Louis Restaurant, AZ w. 5S

Try to Mortgage Property.
Locals 2, and % have filed pleas
for orders restraining their holding
companies from mortgaging or selling
the buildings of the locals. After he
had "ousted" the officers of these 10
Gals, Sigman appointed new officers
who have attempted to negotiate
mortgages with the incorporated hold
ing companies that have the proper
ties in trust for the locals.
Thus the International would be
able to raise large sums to use in it's
fight against the ousted leaders, and
would menace their tenure of the
buildings. The suits are expected to
checkmate this scheme.

charges of felonous assault, collapsed
in court today when Magistrate Joan
Norris refused to take the charge SER
iously, and dismissed it, imposing a
small fine on a substitute charge Of
"disorderly conduct" The arrest of
Moskowitz grew out of an attempt of
the International to cover up its own

by proving" gangsterism against the

represented itself as coming from the

C. 6 A. RAILROAD
ANTI-LAB0R WAR
WRECKING ROAD
Equipment Near Junk to
Avoid Recognition

The attempt of the bankrupt Chi
cago & Alton railroad to operate its
shops on a company union basis is
rapidly reducing its rolling stock to
junk, according to reports from shop
points along the line. The belief Is
growing among the employees that
the company viii attempt to save the
situation in the spring and summer
by sending its decrepid freight cars
to contract shops for repairs.
Turn over Repairs.
This belief that the C.. G. A. intends
to turn over the maintenance Of its
equipment to. outside contractors to
avoid union recognition is supported
by the fact that the company has con
tracted out its coach cleaning and
the coal chute work at the Chicago
terminal Colliani & Son, who took
the contract, expected to do the work
cheaply with inexperienced common
labor. The conditions established by
this contractor caused most of the
experienced coach cleaners to throw
up their jobs. Labor turnover has
been high and the sanitary condition
Of trains on the Alton is bad as a
result.
Is Uneconomical, Too.
Prior to the 1922 shop strike the
railroads had resorted to the contract
ing out of maintenance work in or
der to undermine the shop unions.
This proved very uneconomical.
Where the interstate commerce COM
mission investigated it found repairs
costing 2 to 3 times the expense when
done by union shopmen in the rail-
road shops.
Workers. morale Low.
The present policy of the c. & A.
management has brot the morale of
the shop forces to a low ebb. The
road refuses recognition to the shop
unions altho S5 per cent of its shop
men are members of these unions.
1t continues to check dues to the COM
pany union out of their pay contrary
to the wishes of so per cent of the
employees.
Inc percentage OF bad order cars
on the road is increasing. Only such
light repairs are being made as are
absolutely necessary to keep a mini.
mum of cars in operation. When cars
are carded for heavy repairs at GER
tain shop points the foremen are tear
ing off the cards and sending the cars
sn to other points without repairs.
By this means they hope to create a
false appearancesof cutting down ex.
penses. M Il
