N. J. WORKERS ASK
COMPENSATION

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 29.-Two
bills seeking to increase the amount
of workmen's compensation will come
up in the state Legislature on Mon
day.
The present compensation laws of
New Jersey do not permit more than
SIT week to be awarded an injured
worker. The bills aim to bring the
compensation up to the level of New
York State. Another bill which will
come up is one which would force
captains of ocean liners to take out
inland water licenses for ports their
ships entered.

LAUNDRY DRIVERS
ARE RESTRAINED

Four Brooklyn wet wash laundries
were granted an injunction yester-
day which is to be used in an at
tempt to break the strike of the
Laundry Drivers and Helpers Union.
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Cal
lahan issued the injunction.
Workers Locked Out.
The strike was called when the en-
ployers locked out the union drivers
and helpers. The union answered
with call for unionization to all the
inside workers as well, who are paid
wages of from S13 to $15 week.
They have succeeded in getting the
majority of the inside workers out
on strike.

quarter Of a century.
This is the net result of the great
confidence" which the Amalgamated
officials have boosted that they had
in the "great" mayor of our city.
In response to a request of the
Mayor that Hedley meet with him,
the president Of the company wrote
that he would come at 2 p. m. yes
terday provided committee of the
company union might go along. This
was, Of course, agreeable to the may
or. Did Quackenbush go along? He
certainly did!
At the end of the conference the
mayor made the following statement:
Mayor Insults Workers
"With regard to the suspended
men. ! am told that these men were
suspended in keeping with the
brotherhood contract with the Inter
borough. They are also charged
with insulting brotherhood men by
calling them vile names and epithets.
The men insulted believed their lives
in Jeopardy.
"The marlborough will refer these
cases to its law department to be
oxamined and investigated.
"If the I. R. 7 finds any injustice
done, or any injury inflicted the I.
r. T. will renair this injustice and
injury. The brotherhood says that
if any injustice Is discovered. it will
give its sunnort toward rightinp the

The workers who have been TAUGHT

before to organize the traction lines

Indications coming from various
parts of the lines confirm the in

UNITY DEMANDED
AT BIG FUR MEET
Workers Demand Peace
from Joint Council

Calling upon the "Joint Council," a
dual organization established by the
American Federation of Labor as an
instrument with which to smash the
left wing controlled Joint Board Fur
riers' Union, to end their struggle
against the unity of the fur workers,
1000 furriers who are registered in
the A. +. of l.. organization at meet
ing in Webster Hall yesterday after
noon, threatened to organize them
selves openly as a body behind the
left wing Joint Board and fight the
Council" to finish.
Speaker after speaker took the
floor at the meeting which was ar
ranged by a rank and file committee
of registered workers, and declared
that they were unwilling longer to en-
dure the exploitation in the shops, due
to the destruction of their once pow
erful union.
Demand Action.
The demand raised by all the speak
ers was to begin action that will re-
suit in again obtaining a united and
strong organization.
The sentiment of the meeting was
expressed in a resolution unanimously
passed which called upon the Joint
Council to put an end to the fight in
the union. While the resolution de-
clared that the left wing Joint Board
be asked to restate its position on
the question of unity, it clearly point
ed out that the Joint Board has al
ways favored an end to the struggle,
and that it was the Joint Council who
has been the cause of the destruction
of union conditions in the shop.
The resolution further states that
an answer to the demand for unity
be received by the Executive Council
of Registered Workers, the body
which had arranged the meeting,
within one week. If an answer is
not received from the Joint Council
those present will organize them
selves as an agitation and organiza-
ton committee to carry thru the fol-
lowing plans; a. That all shop chair
men shall allow all workers, whether
registered or not, to work in the shops
of the employers association; (2) The
Councils business agents shall be re-
fused recognition by the workers in
the association shops; (3) That no
body go to the shop meetings called
by the Council, and that no dues be
paid to the Council. The meeting
also pledged itself to agitate for pay
ment of dues to the Joint Board by
Registered workers in the event that
the Council refuses to reply.
When inquiries were made at the
Joint Board later, it was learned that
the Board will make an official state
ment in few days. However," said
Ben Gold, manager, "the resolution
passed shows clearly that the work
ers, VINO We're forced to register thru
the economic pressure of the bosses,
know that our position has always
been for unity, and we will take all
steps that will lead to united and
genuine organization of the workers. /"
