Syndicalist Law, Packing Bosses Weapon

Kansas has two effective laws to
use against the workers of the state.
The Industrial Court Law that
lays dormant but with the teeth of
the law still on the statute books
teeth ready on any mass movement
of the workers-and the Criminal
Syndicalist law is used to Jail mill
tant leaders of the workers. Today
Armour and company and the po-
lice are using the Criminal Syndi-
calist law against the Workers
(Communist) Party and against the
organization of the packing house
workers.

is an organized plan to check the

in the west, of the growing response
of the workers to the Communists

Workers (Communist) Party, and
the capitalists and their flunkies in
three other states of District 10 are
trying to keep it off the ballot.
After complying with the laws of
the capitalists, with the laws of
their own game, the states of Ne
braska, Oklahoma and Texas are
trying to keep the Communist can
didates off the ballot. Four states
in a row, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas
and Nebraska, fear the Communist
candidates, fear our program of
class struggle because they see
workers and working farmers in
these states moving to the left.
The Kansas City International La
Dor Defense is employing council for
defense and mobilizing to- collect
funds and are preparing for state
wide campaign for the repeal of the
criminal syndicalist law. The Work
ers (Communist) Party has intensi-
fled its activity under this increased
burden that is taking much energy
to fight. The District Executive
Committee of District 10 calls upon
the workers and working farmers to
rally to defend the Workers Com
munist) Party from this attack, to
build powerful Party of the class
struggle, to vote for Foster and Git
low and to the workers to join the
Communist Party.

The savage conquest of Latin-America is
part of the general imperialist war policy
of the United States. This latest act is
further attempt completely to crush every
vestige of resistance on the part of those
small countries in order to clear the ground
for the next world war against its imperial
ist rivals, particularly Britain and Japan.
Every effort must be made by the revolu-
tionists of the United States and of the
Latin-American countries to stop this ruth
less sweep of American Imperialism. The
working class of this country must be
aroused as never before in order to check
this new conspiracy and the masses of Latin

The Taxi Drivers Must Fight

Behind the attempts of the so-called lead
ers of the taXicab industry to put over on the
drivers a city regulation compelling the
wearing of uniforms is a far-reaching scheme
for the decentralization of the industry at
the expense of the drivers. Two main OBJ
jectives are before the big fleet-owners at
whose head is the open shop, Morgan-con-
trolled, Yellow Taxicab Corporation: % In
creased control over their smaller competi-
tors; (2) more firm and permanent hold
over the lives of the drivers.
The agitation for uniforms is only part
of the whole scheme.
The workers in the trade, speeded up and
exploited almost beyond endurance, have OBJ
served with increasing resentment the var
ious developments which have marked this
process of greater Capitalization and con-
troll by the big bosses in the industry
Raids, prosecutions, suspensions and re-
vocations of license by the police, and finally
a city-wide blacklist by the big fleet-owners'
association have driven thousands of drivers
out of the industry The taxi driver, under
the thumb of the police, has no redress and
no means of combating these evils-that is,
he did not have until recently.
One influential weekly newspaper in the
trade, "The Taxi Weekly" which pretends
to speak for the drivers, is now one of the
chief advocates of the scheme to regimentize
the workers. The editor of this sheet, a
former army captain by the name of H. A.
Innes Brown, is known to be directly con-
uected with the Yellow Taxicab Corpora
ton, with past record of strike-breaking.
A key to the real meaning of the present
move to compel the drivers to wear uniforms
is to be found in the words of former police
commissioner Enright, who once declared
that there is no reason why the taxi driver a
public servant like the policeman, should not
wear uniform.
There is only one way out for the drivers
from this Tightening hold over their lives +:
The building of militant union of all the
drivers in the industry The first step has
already been taken with the formation sew
era weeks ago of the Taxi Chauffeurs' Union
of Greater New York This organization
has announced policy of struggle both
against the bosses and their police support
ers. This is the program before the 10000
taxi drivers in greater New York. Join your
unionl
While the Daily Worker welcomes the
formation of such a union, we also desire to
impress upon the taxi drivers the fact that
their persecution by the police, their vic
limitation by the insurance sharks and the
oppressive legislation directed against them
is the result of the Tammany administra-
ton of state and city. In the sharpest man.
ner is revealed the direct connection between
exploitation and politics. In order effective
ly to fight in their own interests the taxi
drivers must realize that it is essential that
they also fight politically as part of the
working class by supporting the class party
of labor the Workers (Communist Party.

series of impressions of the NeV
Bedford tentile strike. The first
appeared in the feature page of
last Saturdays issue of the Daily
| Worker.)
/ THOSE who are accustomed to the
industrial towns of the Middle
Atlantic States, with their drabness,
their picayune efficiency, their rot
ting slums like great black sores,
will find New Bedford something of
surprise. New Bedford is not so
much an industrial town as a town
into which an industry has partly
crept, sprawling a little incongru-
ously over its rural neatness. Take
away the massed brick of these
mills, blot out their smoke and the
life painting about them-and you
still have New Bedford, the pretty
New England town, a pattern of
tangible orders and decencies.
Frame porch houses, trees, coun-
try mansions with great broad lawns
and rich flowers-and a short dis
lance away the crouching mills,
usurpers, symbols of new order,
bringing their hordes of workers,
foreigners, slaves with a buried in
surrection.
And the masters of this new or
der-the mill owners and rich
businessmen-have taken possession
of these aristocratic mansions. The
old families, the "best people," have
gradually yielded, fled to serener re-
treats, where their thin, immaculate
blood may flow unperturbed and
their cool, sane, well-bred minds may
be filled with appropriate grand
eurs, far from the hue and CRY of
Sacco and Vanzetti and textile
strikes.
There are really two cities that
make UP New Bedford-the North
End and the South End. Here at
these two ends are concentrated the
textile mills and the homes of the
workers. And the thousands of lives
that pass in and out of the mills of
the North End, boundit to their mas
sive brick and stone, are hardly
aware of the thousands at the other
end of the town.

fellow workers."
The answer came eloquently. Mic
kels, dimes, quarters, even dollar
bills, and Eulalie collected them all
in little bag while other speakers
went on to tell the strikers of the
tasks before them. Eulalie was as
happy as a kid with new toy.
Every now and then she would raise
her bag and shake it in glee. And
then she began counting. Eighty
dollars in all-and every cent of it
contributed by people who have been
on strike for % weeks. where do
they get the money" I ask. No one
can tell me. Who can tell the story

Portuguese that his real power lies

Schechter has appropriately called
him. And he has all of Colds

horizons of hope and strength.

strike will appear in Saturdays

"This is the sort of place where a
worker in the North End will get
married and go for his honeymoon
trip to the South End" was the way
Jack Rubinstein, youth organizer of
the strike, put it.
And so it was until the strike
came and made North End and
South End one. One against the
bosses, against the betrayers, one in
their determination not to go back
to the mills until they win their
demands.
While the aristocratic West End
watches, hiding its anger and fear.
1T was Sunday, and feeling myself
sorely in need of a little spiritual
tonic, glanced thru the papers to
see what the latest sermons were at
the fashionable praying emporiums
of New Bedford My Spiritual

"How to Get Closer to Christ"
"The Meaning of Spiritual Ideals. :"
"Are We Falling Behind In Our
Duty to God?" "The Light of Re-
ligion."
All interesting topics, no doubt,
and probably my parched soul would
be greatly refreshed and uplifted by
quaffing at these spiritual founts.
But | wondered whether the lord
god and his shepherds were aware
of the existence of a textile strike
that had brought intense, rather
earthly suffering to the majority of
the population of this circumspect,
godfearing town.
So | decided to forgo my spiritual
tonic and thought that maybe walk
might be just as good. Thru the
West End l walked and saw the
houses of the rich, beheld the flowers
in their gardens, their bold garish
heads bending in the wind. Flowers

Il
because the big
fellows cannot be clean, decent and
moral, the Workers (Communist)
Party is striking at the base of
things and exposing the capitalist
system as the fountain head of all
the social corruption in the world
today.
AFTER all, corruption is not a
- vital issue. l mean the kind of
corruption that the political conf
dence man of the capitalist parties
bellyache about. 1t is not vital
issue as far as the workers are con-
cerned. The grating politicians
take it out of the pockets of business
and that is why business crusades
for "clean government" The worker
is no better nor no worse off whether
he political party that administers
the government for the capitalist
class is dirty" or "clean," politi-
cslly speaking.
THE masses are not terribly ex-
cited over political corruption.
Perhaps they know instinctively
that it is not their funeral. But un-
der a Workers and Farmers gov
eminent the workers would be con-
cerned overs corruption and would
shoot the culprits responsible for
misappropriating the funds and
wasting the resources of their own
government. Look at the Soviet
Union, where the CRATER is pun
ished as severely, and more so, than
the murderer.
COME radicals were naive enough
to believe that the Teapot Dome
scandal would cause political up
heaval in the United States. 1t did,
resulting in the election of Calvin
Coolidge, on platform pledged to
carry out the Teapot Dome policies
of Warren Gamaliel Harding, the
official head of the Teapot Dome
government. Corruption and cap
ltalism are synonymous terms. A
society that legalized the robbery
of millions of men, women and chill
dren under the wages system, can
not be expected to gag when a few
of the robbers or the tools of the
main robbers turn around and rob
)ne another.
WHILE the Communists in this
" election campaign point out the
connection between graft and cap
italism they do not hold that the
election of a Quaker instead of a
Tammany sachem would make
things any better for the masses.
Wall Street would undoubtedly pre-
fer puritan in the white house to
al alcoholic crap shooter. Harding
was a mistake and his administra-
ton miscarriage. Coolidge was
better. He was the perfect robot
and his vices were all good capital
list virtues. Wall Street, in all prob
ability, would prever Hoover to
Smith. but it is not losing any sleep
over the contest. 1t has money on
both animals.
WITHOUT prejudice to any other
F" eatery, we wish to call the at
tention of our readers to an estab-
lishment which should satisfy the
gastronomic cravings of the most
fastidious proletarian, who is accus-
toned to scan the menu before CIV
| ing his order to the waiter. There
used to be a strong prejudice against
Greeks bearing gifts, but Greeks
bearing broiled bass are the Greeks
that are dear to me. Ever since
left Chicago | have been bringing
pressure to bear on the Greek COM
rades to bring a little bit of the
Blue Island Ave. atmosphere to this
city. 1t has arrived.
