Vitaa Meeting Is Called
for Tuesday

attack on the union-wrecking activ-
tiles of Max Zaritsl1y, international
president of Cloth Hat, Cap and Mil
linefy Workers Union is contained in

tive board of Boston capmakers' To-

At the same time announcement
was made by the leaders of the local
capmakers that membership meeting
will be held Tuesday evening in the
union headquarters, 90 Hayward
Place. The executive board requests
that all members be present with
out fail.
The statement, follows in part:
During the six years that our To-
cal has been under left-wing lead
crship, we have succeeded in estab-
fishing a record of struggle and de-
votion to the interests of the member
ship. Our local was the pride of the
international and Of the labor move
ment of Boston. Our local under the
present leadership was victorious in
gaining the 40-hour week, the I'M
employment insurance fund as well
as increases of wages. Our local
with this administration has COM
manded the full confidence Of our
membership, the respect and fcisg #
the employers. The present leader
ship Of our local has militantly pro-
tected the interests of the Boston
Capmakers, participated in the strug-
giles of the international as well as
Of the labor movement in general,
for further accomplishments
Trying to Destroy Union.
"Disregarding all these facts, Ear
itsky and his general executive beard
are now trying to destroy our union,
which was always on guard to en-
force the union conditions gaired by
the workers thru years of struggle
and sacrifice.
Sisters and brothers: At this
time, When the capmakers turnout the
country are faced with meeting the
attack of the employers and open
shoppers, when we can clearly
see the disastrous results brought
about by the Sigman pogrom in the
Cloak and Dressmakers' Union = at
this time Zaritsky has started pog-
rom in our union and the interra-
tional. ..
"Why does he do it?
This pogrom against our local was
launched because we are militantly
opposed to Zaritsky's attempt to force
work upon the capmakers and the
re-estabhshment of the 44-hour week.
Zaritsky in collaboration with the
traitor Percy Ginsburg have organ
lied lockout against our Chicago
brothers i'll order to drive them into
submission to the piece-work system.
Zaritsky wants to break local 43 in
order to eliminate all obstacles in
carrying out his criminal policy of
starving out the capmakers, weak
ening of our union and make it pos
sible for the employers to force their
economic program of piece-work,
longer hours and starvation wages
upon the workers"

CAB DRIVER DIES
OF COPS BLOWS
Tammany Fails to Act
in Violation

Samuel Zorn, for Ia years a taxi
driver, and one of four cabmen who,
police claim, they mistook for gun
men during a hold-up on May % of
the Actors Inn, died at Bellevue hos
pital following a severe beating adj
ministered to him by Officer Hertz of
the East 9Th St. police station.
zorn is the second driver to die as
the result of this hold-up and of the
Tammany police practice of beating
up and smuggling workers at will, with
out waiting to find out if the taxi
driver whom he suspected had any
thing to do with the hold-up. Upon
reaching the scene the officer took
out his gun from his holster and
started firing point blank at the in
nocent hackmen.
Beat Up Drivers Also.
Not satisfied with the deadly eff
feet his gat had on the drivers, Hertz,
with the aid of patrons began to club
up the cabmen, altho they offered no
resistance and were trying to explain
that a mistake had been made and
begged the cops to stop firing and
clubbing them.
Louis Mishkin, a taxi driver and
formerly garment worker, also shot
by Hertz, died few hours after be-
ing transferred to the hospital. Isl
dore Temes received severe beat
ing and was seriously wounded. Harry
Halpern, the fourth driver, escaped
with few scars and bruises.
The bandits who held up the place
approached in a touring car and
forced the drivers, who were hacking
in front of the inn, to remain in their
places.
Families Destitute.
As result of the shooting Zorf's
and Mishkin's families are left des-
titute and friends of the dead hack
men are raising fund for them.
No action has been taken against
Officer Hertz by the Tammany police
commissioner, Warren, although
Hertz had violated the order from the
police commissioners office that po-
licemen must first give warning by
firing a shot in the air before firing
directly at any person.

HUDSON ESSEX
OUTPUT GAINS

Maintaining its position as the
worlds largest manufacturer OF SIX
cylinder cars, the Hudson Motor
Car Company is now at the thresh-
old of quarter-million Hudson and
Essex cars for the 1928 season.
Officials say that the fall demand
for cars is universally active, not
only in the United States, but in
Canada and the world markets
where Hudson Essex has long occu-
pied a strong position.
Distributors and dealers are re-
porting that motorists are once
again taking a keen interest in me-
chanical design and construction.
They are studying comparative
values and looking closely into the
factors of construction which make
for reliability and modern per-
Torrance, declares Walter Lambert,
Hudson Essex distributor for the
Washington area.
The time when beauty alone or
certain special features, such as
colorfuI upholstery or special paint
combinations are the deciding fac
tor in the purchase of an automo-
bile has become a thing of the past

To-day the purchaser insists OF
course on style and goes first to

leadership of the season. But he
wants them to know about the

its performance records in the
hands of owners and its speed,
pickup and fIexibility.
This change in the tendency of
the purchaser is due to the fact
that the average car buyer today
is an experienced motorist. In
many cases he or she, as Ihe case
may be, has been the owner of
anywhere from three to ten or
twelve motor cars. These years of
driving experience have taught
thege automobile owners to look be-
meath the hood and to check up on
the performance records of the
cars in the hands of owners.
This tendency has been of great
help to Hudson-Essex this year, for
We have made a particular point

safety talks.
Education Organized
In addition to the patrol move
ment, a concerted effort is being
made throughout the country to
place safety education upon we'll
organized basis. Proceeding upon
the premise that unless children are
formally taught how to meet the
problem of street traffic they viii
be unable to solve 1t satisfactorily
those who are promoting safety edu-
cation in the schools desire to incul-
cate right principles OF thinking
along with the other training chill
dren receive.
This procedure has been recog-
nized by law in several States.
Those which have legislated on
the subject are Pennsylvania, Vir-
ginia, Wisconsin, New Jersey,
North Carolina, Ohio and Wyom-
ing. In some instances the law
is specific in enjoining a fixed
time for giving this instruction.
In New Jersey every kteacher Is
required to devote halfA an hour
every two weeks to instruction In
accident prevention. and the COM
missioner of education must pub
Iish a booklet on the subject ana
make 1t available to teachers.
A digest of the traffic laws Of
North Carolina must be brought to
the attention of pupils once each
week. A ha1f.hour period every
month must be devoted to safety
instruction in Ohio.
This requirement also Is In the
law of Virginia and Wisconsin.
The Pennsylvania statute calls for
training in safety first" methods
without specifying time. The
wyoming law, however. en1oins
the teacher to devote one hour
every month to the teaching OF ac-
cident prevention.
The motor clubs have assisted in
this respect by preparing literature
to be used in connection with
safety instruction.
All of which indicates that mo-
tordom is making a genuine eff
fort to protect the boys and girls.
And why shouldn't it? After all.
they will be the motorists of the
future, and will Join motordom' g
ranks with many more advantages
than those who had to grow with
