TRY TO BUY OFF
5 RADIUM SUITS
Trial Set for June 8
After Long Delay

Efforts on the part of representa-
tives of the United States Radium
Corporation to buy off the five plain
tiffs in their suit for an aggregate
of 100000 for their doomed lives
were continued yesterday when it be-
gan to appear impossible to post
pone the case under the New Jersey
statute of limitations.
The trial of the suits of the five
women, Katherine Schaub, Grace
Fryer, Albina Larice, Quinta Nc
Donald and Edna Hussman, was to-
day set for Friday, June 8, in the
Supreme Court Circuit in Newark.
The date was set after it was seen
that the wrangling on the part of
the defense counsels, who wanted to
postpone the trial until they could
secure their own "radium experts
from the west, would continue in
definitely. ,ee

1t is the duty of every communist,

present at the meeting to commem-
crate the services and battles of Will

emancipation, to honor the memory Of

against the class enemy and for the

then told their workers to register
in the Joint Council
Instead of doing this the workers
walked out and went to the Joint
Board headquarters. After shop
meeting there, a strike was declared.
After a two-day tie-up the bosses
were compelled to withdraw from
membership in the Associated Fur
Manufacturers, and again sign up
with the Joint Board.
This is one Of the most decisive
victories to be gained by the fur
workers in mony months of bitter
struggle. Its effect on the market,
where the workers gather, was elect
trical. The victory gained against the
McGrady -Stetsky gangs was the sole
topic of conversation. Especially sig
nificant is this settlement because of
its being an open test of strength.
For two days the right wing had
modified all it's followers and ma
chine men to provide scabs for the
struck firms. They met with COM
plete failure in these attempts.

men on strike are picketing daily the
buildings of the Mutual Life Insur-

clair Oil CO., Is Nassau st. and the
New York Stock Exchange, all in the
heart of the financial district. The
Beaver Window Cleaning Co. acts as

TAXI men SHOW
BROWN, KREMER
TAMMANY TOOLS
Drivers Will Form A
Real Union
Continued from page one)


.mer, has made "the highest kind of
promises" to "help" the taxi drivers.
Kremer did not say what this "help"
was.
!. When attacked from the floor by
H. A. Innes Brown, editor of the Taxi
Weekly, trade paper, Kremer showed
that Brown was himself only tool
of Tammany Hall. Brown has only
recently announced the launching Of
a taxi drivers political party. In the
May 81 issue of the DAILY WORK
Err, detailed exposure of his game
was printed showing that Brown like
Kremcr is planning, at the last mo-
ment, to turn over the votes OF the
cabmen to the Tammany graft-satu-
rated administration.
Samuel Shapiro, rank and file
taxi driver arose in the meeting with
a motion demanding the resignation
of fourth deputy police Commissioner
Ruttenberg, whose activities in the
hack bureau has resulted in the loss
of licenses by hundreds Of cabmen.
Kremer Immediately applied the steam
roller to silence Shapiro. Another
taxi driver arose to demand democracy
in the organization, but Jared no bet
ter than Shapiro.
Exposes Brown
Brown was interrupted in his talk
by Kremer who charged that Brown
had demanded $3.50 for his cOopera-
ton through publicity in the Taxi
Weekly in carrying out Kremer's plan
of getting the drivers votes for Tam
many Hall.
Taxi drivers it has been learned,
are quietly forming a trade union
which will really fight for the pro
lection of the cabmen. While no pu-
blicity has been given to the plan, it
is understood, that the organization is
planning mass meeting in the near
future.

Representative from hundreds of

working conditions in the trade.
Hyman Gives Statement
"The bosses saw clearly that their
agents Sigman and Schlesinger were
rapidly losing ground and that the
cloakmakers' offensive to rid the trade
of pogrom leaders was rapidly gain
ing momentum. They therefore
granted the 40.hour week on paper,
SO that Sigman could use the public
ity to throw dust in the eyes of the
workers" This was the statement
made yesterday by Louis Hyman,
chairman of the N. 0. C. after the
right wing Jewish Daily Forward tri-
announced that Sigman
had succeeded in obtaining the bosses
statement.
"Sigaan and the Forward try to
make it appear to be great victory
gained by Sigman's prowess," said
Hyman, "The 40-hour week was TO go
into effect on June 1, according to
the agreement won by the bitter
struggles of 1926, thereby voiding
even a paper victory for Sigman." He
continued, Secondly, and most inn
portant is the fact that the employers
do not intend to allow the 4O-hour
week anyway"
