eve wish to express our complete
support for your efforts to increase
the salaries Of inspectors which, as
you correctly state, have practically
remained the same as they were dur
ing 1920 and which are entirely too
low for your character Of work.
eve have turned over your brief
for the study of our committee and
shall forward to you any further reso-
luton that we may adopt on the mat
ter which we shall be pleased to make
public in the press.
owe trust that you will do every
thing in your power to battle out
your right for increased wages and
better working conditions and that
you will join in with other workers
of the city that are likewise strug-
Cling to increase their wages and
make one joint fight of the munich
pal employees of the city. Only such
a united fight can force the hand of
the city of New York that is domi-
mated by the anti-labor Tammany
Hall machine, which will provide
adequate wages only if compelled to
do so by the force and power of or
ganized labor"
