To Hold Mass Meet in

A general strike vote will probably
be taken at the meeting tomorrow
afternoon of the unorganized fruit
clerks at the Bronx Lyceum, $500
Third Ave-, near 10th St., called by
the Fruit, Grocery and Dairy Clerks
Union.
This organization recently carried
thru a struggle with the right wing
leadership which established a dual
union, in order to remove the mill
tant leadership, but failed miserably
when the progressive leadership of
the grocery clerks carried thru a sue
cessful general strike, organizing
most OF. the stores in the city. Now
the union is beginning drive to or
ganize the fruit clerks who work ID
hours day for z days week.
The drive for membership among
the fruit clerks received great i'm
petus, many hundreds joining the
union, when the first strike closed S
stores operated by one of the largest
retail fruit companies and which end
ed in victory for the union. The strike
lasted about 6 hours.

is Training for the Glass Struggle
On this May 1, when the miners of
America are continuing their splendid
struggle for the very life of their
union and the life of the American
labor movement with renewed vigor,
when signs of mass resistance on the
part of organized and unorganized
workers, employed and unemployed
workers, are manifesting themselves
in various parts of the country, when
the fight against American imperial
ism and the war danger must be
pursued more vigorously-the Work
ers School pledges itself to intensity
it's efforts in the direction of Train
ing for the Glass Struggle to reach
thousands of new militant workers
and prepare them for more effective
work in the labor movement.
'The Workers School calls upon all
left wing workers to remember the
spirit of 1886, the spirit of the mill
tant labor movement in America of
those years; to remember the splen-
did struggles in Homestead, Law
renee, Ludlow, Seattle and Passaic
and to make the Madison Square gar
den meeting this May stand out as
another inspiration, another symbol
Of struggle and solidarity to the

Craig at this moment is counsel for
the Eighth Avenue and the Madison
Avenue Surface Lines. One Of his
chief activities during the past two
years has been an attempt to sell these
lines to the city at a price satisfac-
tory to his companies. For nearly
eight years the controller was at the
center of those public officials in the
city hall who sought to increase fare.
Accuses Company.
In Craig's answer to the Inter-
borough in the increased fare suit he
charged that the company had stolen
millions of dollars from the city by
Withholding earnings which should
have gone to pay the city as a partner
in the roads. In addition Craig
charged that the Interborough had in
flated its initial construction costs by
some thirty millions of dollars
through its methods of carrying out
the construction work on the so-called
dual subway contracts.
During the eight years in which
Craig was controller of the city, it is
charged, and while he was doing his
best to secure an increased fare, he
naturally omitted to state these facts
for public information although it
was his duty under law to do so.
At the present moment, Craig is
allied with the Tammany politicians
in their attempt to stall off the fare
increase until after election. Those
who are on the inside" know that
ne is slated for some appointive or
elective position. Some believe that
he is being primed as the next mayor
of New York.

have refused to admit that their men
are expelled.
So far nothing has happened to
these locals, taking this logical stand.
Their relief has not yet been cut off,
and their women and children are not
yet dispossessed.
Possibly one reason is that the
Pennsylvania-Ohio Miners Relief has
it's eye especially on such sore points,
and will make extraordinary efforts
to take the place of such little relief
as the machine is now granting. Also,
summer is near, barracks are not
either so hard to duplicate, or so nee
.essary any more. And the Save the
Union Committee in its meeting
Tuesday, worked out detailed plans
for resistance to the extreme any at
tempts to dispossess the miners of the
barracks they have built for them
selves. From now on they will also
resist dispossession by the coal COM
panies from their houses. And this
policy of resistance is not liked by
the machine; the machine never per-
mitted resistance to expulsion, in
fact, it always tried to make expul-
sions easy for the operators, by
friendly arrangements between the
lawyers of both sides.
