Talk of New Bridge

There has been a renewal of talk
of a bridge between Ocean City
and Longport. 1t this bridge is
built il will bring Ocean City and
Atlantic City about four miles
nearer each other by road and in
effect will make the two resorts
so near by car as to be practically
the same, so far as the residents
of one visiting the other. The
company interested In the project
has obtained an option on an island
In the Great Egg Harbor Bay and
the new bridge would. join the
structure which now stretches
from Somers Point to Longport.
To now go from Ocean City to
Atlantic City, it is necessary to
cross the Great Egg Harbor Bay
TO Somers Point and then re-cross
the bay to Longport. These two
bridges are free from toll and the
question has arisen as to how
much traffic a new bridge on which
toll would be charged would take
from the present route.
If the State would build, instead
of private capital the new bridge
would form link by direct route
from the North Jersey resorts to
those below Atlantic City, as the
roads running through and to the
cities below Ocean City are of
concrete.

A LABOR BANK" IN
LOS ANGELES
By VIM. sCHNEIDERMAN.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. Is
The collapse of the Locomotive En-
gineers' banking ventures has made
labor banking topic of debate among
trade unionists in America, and a few
words about a "labor bank" which
was started by the trade union move
ment in Los Angeles might be timely
and revealing.
The Peoples National Bank is one
of the flourishing institutions which
is pointed at with pride as an example
of the success of trade union capital
ism. Members of organized labor
who established this bank are still
waiting for dividends, as it has taken
several years to put the bank on its
feet, and it is still unable to declare
dividends. The unions holding stock,
however, are willing to carry on in
the fond hope that some day their"
bank would prove success and credit
to their class collaboration schemes.
Takers Buying Control.
Very few know the real status of
the Peoples National Bank. A high
official of the labor movement
SPILLED" some very interesting facts
about the latter, in the process of an
attack on rival group of labor
takers who had organized the Lincoln
Holding Corporation and the Peoples
Mortgage Company.
1t seems that the latter concerns
had been systematically buying up the
stock in the bank, altho it paid no
dividends, with funds that they could
have more profitably invested in in
terest-paying mortgages. Evidently,
some financial interests outside of the
labor movement are financing them
in this venture, in order to get con-
troll of the bank.
Capitalists May Soon Control.
Labor officials did not realize what
was going on until fully 1900 shares
were in the hands of the Lincoln
Holding Corporation, and only 2,501
are required to hold majority of the
stock and a controlling interest. They
then sent out a call to unions and in
dividual members who held stock in
the bank, to turn over proxies (vot-
ing power) to the Central Labor Coun-
Gil representatives, in order to get
enough votes at the next shareholders
meeting to maintain their majority.
Each group has now approximately
the same number of votes, yet it is
practically certain that the bank will
pass over into the hands of group
of financiers in January. 1t will still
continue as the Peoples National
Bank, "Labor's" bank, but the Gen.
trail Labor Council will have about as
much voice in it as they have in the
! Bank of Italy.

Capitalist Press Admits Unemployment

and their families are feeling and
will continue to feel the suffering the
profit system makes inevitable.
No Fatalism.
But to accept as inevitable that
this misery must be borne uncom-
plainingly and that nothing can be
done is to play the game of capital
lists and their publicity agents.
The right to full maintenance at
the expense of industry and govern
ment must be fought for. The de-
grading charity of the professional
almsgivers must be replaced by a
program of struggle, and the whole
labor movement enlisted in the battle
to maintain and better the living con-
ditions of the working class.
The seriousness of the unemploy-
ment menace must not be left solely
to the understanding of those work
ers who feel it's effects directly.
The whole working class must be
drawn into the fight.
