ately begin mass picketing at their

portance.
They must Immediately form
among their trusted men a picketing
committee who will lead them in pick
citing and take part on the picket line.
They must form a bonafide labor
organization absolutely Independent
from the company. They cannot trust
any company representatives or those
who speak indirectly in favor of the
company.
Demand 25 per cent increase
in wages; the companies are making
millions.
Fight for the 44-hour week:
many workers who have far less
dangerous work now work even less
than a hours.
Fight Speed-up.
Fight against the infamous speed
up system which is being installed in
various ways.
Begin Immediately mass dem

in order to draw out these other
workers who are your brothers and
without whom the bosses may be able
to beat you.
What is good for the bosses is not

Extend the strike; mass picketing
a real labor union; rank and file con-

Names Withheld

BOSTON, May 20.-Further reve-
lations in the huge city-graft and
rum-ring scandal were unearthed yes
terday, when one of the accused men
involved the names of fifteen we'll
known city administrators.
The list of those already discovered
to have been in the mix-up include the
names of attorney James A. Hatton,
former U. S. District attorney and
former assistant district attorney of
Suffolk county; John F. Mullen, prom
inent broker; Nicholas C. Cockinos,
agent for the Watch and Ward So
ciety; Albert X. Sidlinger, Boston
bondsman, and Ralph F. Gross of 205
Branch St., Lowell. All of the quintet
with the exception of Cockinos, gave
themselves up after they learned that
they had been indicted. Cockinos was
taken into custody at the offices of
the Watch and Ward Society.
One of the men, whose rank In the
city administration had caused the
authorities to withhold his name for
the present, was grilled for three
hours by assistant district attorney
Doyle. Information elected from him
reveal that those mentioned include
the names of three trusted men in the
Bureau of Criminal Investigation at
headquarters, 5 members of the Police
Headquarters Liquor Squad, and seven
officers and patrolmen.
Whether more men have been in

Michigan Convention.

DETROIT, May 2O.-The General
Motors city of Flint, Michigan, was
the scene of the state convention of
the Workers (Communist) Party of
Michigan, where full slate of can
didates was nominated and delegates
chosen for the national convention to
be held in New York City on May
25th to 9th inclusive. The meeting
was held at Pythian Hall in the heart
Of the city.
Flint was chosen by the campaign
committee instead of Detroit because
of the advantages to be realized
through staging big state convention
in one of the smaller industrial CEN
ters. The workers of Detroit are
used to seeing Communist demonstra-
tions, but the smaller cities have not
had such opportunities.
Present were delegates from all the
thirteen congressional districts. Most
of the delegates were industrial work.
ers, but there also was large repre-
sentation of farmers from the agri
cultural districts. The Knights Of
Pythias Hall, in the very heart Of
the city, has been chosen for the con.
vention which will take place OF
Saturday, May 10, converting at ter
o'clock in the morning.
After the keynote speech by H. NJ
Wicks, permanent chairman for the
convention was selected and then the
state platform was discussed anc
adopted. There followed the nomina
tons for various offices.
The Party in Michigan is deter
mined to wage an aggressive cam
paign for 1923 and to roll up a good
vote for the Communist candidates.

THE anti-Soviet propaganda which

a little more subtle than it was in
the days when the allied powers

BROWN REPEATS
OLD CAME; AIMS
FOR "DICTATOR"
Reported to Be Tool of
Yellow Cab Company

Formation of a so-called Hackmen's
Political Party, ostensibly with a nom
partisan purpose, but actually, it is
learned, with the aim of boosting
Tammany Hall in the coming election
campaign has been announced by H.
A. Innes Brown, editor of the Taxi
Weekly, trade paper catering to taxi
drivers.
Brown once before put over SINH
lar trick, when about two and one
half years ago he organized mon
partisan" political party among the
cabmen and at the final moment
turned the organization over to the
Tammany political grafters, who are
now being exposed on many fronts as
the ring hooters of the city.
Sounds GOOd-But
THE purpose of the organization"
according to the published statement
of Brown, is ''to endeavor to muster a
vote that can be used effectively to
protest the interests of the taxicab
men" To what extent this statement
may be taken at it's face value, it is
pointed out, may be judged from the
fact that Brown is known to have
either direct or indirect connections
with the Yellow Taxi Corporation, a
Morgan controlled corporation, which
is fighting labor organizations in
every trade in which it operates.
A clue to the aim of Brown and
those whom he represents is given
in his published statement: "Condi-
tons in the taxi industry are such
that they can only be cured by
remedial legislation"
Would Be Dictator
This is, of course, a fine sounding
phrase, but it must be taken in con-
nection with another plan which
Brown has more or less openly adyo-
Gated in his columns, a plan for es-
tablishing a "Taxicab Distator." The
purpose is to set up an iron rule in
the industry even worse than the
present police supervision. The plan,
naturally, will work in the interests
Of the large fleeters and especially in
the interest of the Yellow.
Browns suggestion of Legislation"
undoubtedly looks towards that end.
One more thing must be mentioned.
For the position Of dictator Brown
dvocates-himself!
This is the meaning of the new
political" party. The only party
which can help to solve the problems
of the taxi drivers besides, of course
the Workers Party is a Labor Party.
Taxi drivers should ask Brown: "Are
you in favor of Labor Party?" His
purpose will then be exposed.

THUGS SHOOT AT
HOSE STRIKERS
Rap Union Heads APP
peal to Governor

KENOSHA, Wis, May 20.-After
an attack by armed thugs on striking
knitters of the Allen-A Hosiery Co.,
in which the strikers, altho shot at.
ably defended themselves. Louis F.
Budenz, special organizer for the
American Federation of Full Fash
,ioned Hosiery Workers, is reported to
be in Milwaukee seeking an audience
with Governor Zimmerman, to request
that the state take charge of the
strike situation.
This request from the capitalist Of
ficialdom of the state governmental
machinery was made by Budenz, re-
ports declare, on the grounds that the
strike situation has gotten beyond the
control of the Kenosha authorities.
While it is true that the Kenosha
city administration is of the blacklist
labor-hating hue, being completely
under the control of the open-shop
Nash Motor Co., an appeal to the
capitalist state officials can result in
nothing else than the bringing in of
larger and more efficient strikebreak-
ing machinery. All the governor can
do, the militant strikers declare, is to
order in the notorious, anti-labor
militia.
The bitter strike against the mill
owners lockout has been going on
for many months with the strikers
ranks as solid today as when the
strike was first declared.
