RAPS TAM NJ AN Y
FOR SELL OUT OF
TRACTION men
Workers Fighting for
Real Union
by a Traction Correspondent

by Traction Correspondent
Now that the New York labor
leaders" have come out stoutly for
Smith and Tammany it would not
be untimely to ask them question
in regards to a union for the trac-
ton workers. What have they
done with the Traction Workers
Union? Why don't they take the
union out Of the vest pocket, where
il was mislaid, and do little organ
izing now? They cannot say that
the workers refused to fight. There
was a spontaneous strike in which
many traction workers suffered
casualties, there were meetings to
which workers came and were pun
ished for it.
What have the leaders" done?
They shooed aside the local leaders
in whom The workers had conf
dence, they killed the initiative of
the rank and file by bandying the
issue among themselves, the COM
pany and their dear little Tammany
mayor. Now they slyly hide the is
sue in a vest pocket and the dough.
probably, in larger pocket.
Well, do the traction workers
have union? What became of all
the meetings and organization
work? Is Tammany victory more
important than a union for the
traction workers? And are traction
workers satisfied to keep quiet and
let them get away with this?
Why not get up an election cam

ers, or extraction workers, if you
cannot get workers stout enough to
take chances about their jobs, and
see if you cannot ferret those little
politicians out from their convenient
holes on this issue? Surely, here
is a good chance for those who have
some contact with traction workers
to do some good for the Party and
perhaps lay the foundation for a
real union. | hope that the Work
ers Party will take advantage of
this situation. W. M.

South Slav Fraction
Defies Jingoes

PITTSBURGH, Pa. (By MaiD.-
The police and patriots are busy
in Pittsburgh as we'll as in the other
cities in other states. They have
decided that they will not allow any
speeches even when the speeches
are made in halls. The South Sla-
vic fraction of Pittsburgh held a
meeting Sept. 16 in the Polish Hall,
at the corner of 46th and Plummer
Sts., with Comrade S. Zinnich, the
editor of Radnik, as the speaker.
The meeting turned out to be de
bate between Comrade Zinnich and
two reactionaries who recently re-
turned from a visit to Jugo-Slavia
and the Soviet Union. The two re-
dictionaries, Steve Polyak and J.
Yagovich, not only condemned the
Soviet government, but stated that
they would inform the government
on every South Slav they knew who
was in this country contrary to the
laws of the country. In fact, these
two reactionaries gave every evil
dence that they had begun their in
forming in Riga while they were in
Europe.
While the meeting was still in
progress real estate dealer by the
name of Jacob B. Nance called the
police and the meeting was broken
up, in spite of the protests Of the
workers present.
Smash Up Second Meeting.
The second meeting broken up
was arranged by the Central Bal
kans Committee, at Bohemian Hall
on Sept. IS. Comrade S. Zinnich
was to be the speaker. However,
even before the speaker had a
chance to begin to speak the police,
under a police sergeant from the
north side police station. came into
the hall and informed the commit
tee that no meeting could be held.
Zinnich and the committee told the
police that permits were not needed
and that he would call an attorney.
But to this the sergeant said: "No
attorney is going to dictate to US;
we will tell you when you can hold
meetings"
This came after the breaking up
of the National Miners Convention
and after the promise of heads of
the police and public safety depart
ments, Walsh and Clark, had prom
Used a committee that visited them
that meetings could be held. The
breaking up of the meetings is be-
ing taken up by the International
Labor Defense and the Civil Liber-

WOMEN GRIND OUT
LIVES ON FORD BELT

Increasing numbers of women are
now employed in the auto industry,
lowering wages of the men and with
them suffering all the evils of the
speed-up and spy system. This is
one of the aspects Of the situation
today among the auto workers, ac-
cording to Robert W. Dunn, labor
economist, writing in the October
issue of the Labor Defender" a
monthly workers pictorial.
Here, for example," he writes,
ais a picture in the Detroit Free
Press of August Goth, headed:
Packard Perfects Paint Device
She Replaces Ten Men A girl is
shown using one of the new devices
that can paint stripes on bodies
faster than could half a score of
men welding brushes Not only
does this invention mean the firing
of ten bread-winners. 1t means hir-
ing a girl who gets 35 cents an hour
in place of men who received SITS
an hour.
"The workers in this industry
have no organization and hence no
measure of economic freedom. They
! live in constant fear of losing their
jobs. An official of the Y. w. c. A.
at Flint told US recently that the
girls making S18 to S22 a week in
the General Motors plants in that
city were afraid to tell the amount
of their wages, or to describe their
conditions of employment, even to
the sympathetic Investigators of
that organization. Girls have been
fired for talking too much about
such Matters this official told US.
Spies at Work.
"Spies are used by all the COM
panies. We find them even boast
ing of it. Here, for example, is a
Ford employment office executive
telling a group of students in De-
troit this summer in reply to ques-
ton as to whether the company
used spies, that the Service Depart
ment covers a multitude of sins
This employment man hoasted that
he himself had been instrumental a
few months ago in wedding out agi-
tators.' AS he put it, I'VE got the
information and we cleaned them
out"
Wage cuts, occupational diseases
and dangers and unemployment are
also part of the grievances of the
auto worker, Dunn says. The pic
ture presented, however, is not one
of despair:
'In spite of all these methods to
block unionization shop papers are
issued, and the Auto Workers
Union is carrying on consistent edu-
cational work in front of the Detroit
plants. Sporadic strikes of work
ers indicate the unrest among the
workers. No amount of welfare
work, crop insurance and company
athletics, now used by some of the
companies, will be able to blind the
workers to the fact that conditions

MAYORS PALS
CLEAN UP IN
PHILADELPHIA
Get Fat Contracts, Is
Charge
by Worker Correspondent

by a Worker Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, (By MaiD.-
George c. Klauder, former law
partner of Mayor Mackey, has been
very active man since the mayor
was elected.
First of all he is president of the
Philadelphia Surety Co., which is
the agent IN this city of the Union
Indemnity Co. of New Orleans.
James V. Hazlett, recorder of
deeds and chairman of the repub-
lican city committee, which also
dominates the democratic organiza-
ton in this city, is vice-president
of the same company.
Supplied Bonds.
This company supplied nearly all
the bonds on the municipal contracts
and also for the city officials, who
evidently know only too we'll on
which side their bread is buttered.
All of which does not look so well
to the city comptroller and his de-
partment. The city comptroller has
had the mayoralty bee buzzing
around him for some time.
And to make things worse the
Union Indemnity Co. neglected to
file a semi-annual report which is
required by law.
So the comptroller's office threat
ened to hold up all contracts bonded
by the company. Finally a report
was filed.
Fat Contracts.
Then it was discovered that
George c. Klauder was attorney for
the Keystone Machinery and Equip
ment Co., and the Philadelphia Con-
tracing and Machinery Co. He was
also vice-president of the Good
Roads Equipment Corporation.
All of these concerns have been
getting the contracts from the
municipality and some rivals have
complained that tho they were the
lowest bidders, nevertheless Klaud-
er's concerns got the contracts. And
there seems to be a considerable
difference, too, between the bids of
i lat der's affiliated companies and
these of other concerns.
Start probe"
Sc now the comptroller's office
is toing ahead with a general in
vestigation of all municipal con-
tracts awarded where there has been
specific complaint.
His honor, the mayor, of course
denies any favoritism. But it is diff
ficult to forget that it was not SO
long ago that his honor was a law
partner of Klauder's,
In the meantime the city of
Philadelphia has lost much money
and this affects every worker di-
rectly and indirectly in some way.

always, corrupt in every possible
way. &C. RABIN.

AUTO IS AID IN
PAIRING DOWN
INCOME TAX
Provides Seven Possible
Exemptions, HoOSier
Club Points Out.

An automobile is a big benefit to
Indiana Federal income tax payers
who own one, according to Duane
Dugan, Hoosier Motor Club presi-
dent.
There are seven possible income
tax exemptions for an Indiana
automobile owner, according to
Dugan.
First there is the gasoline tax
Of cents upon every gallon of
gasoline purchased in this State
The average motorist will get about
ten miles to the gallon of gasoline
and will drive about 5000 miles a
year. This will make deduction
of SIS.
Deduct License Fee
Second there is the annual
license fee paid the State which
ranges from SIS to $40.
Third, the State personal
property tax, and for trucks there
is municipal tax
Fourth, the interest on money
borrowed for the purchase of an
automobile.
Fifth, 20 per cent year for de-
probation may be deducted if the
car is used wholly for business
purposes. If the car be used chiefly
for business purposes or more than
so per cent for business, the expense
may be deducted on pro rata
basis
sixth, loss sustained by reason
of damage to passenger car while
being used for pleasure is deductible
under recent decision handed
down by the United States Board
of Tax Appeals. The loss, however,
must be an actual loss to the per-
son claiming the deduction. If the
loss is compensated by insurance or
otherwise it is not deductible.
Some Can't Be Deducted
Seventh, the bureau also has
ruled that where a motorist paid
damages for injury to pedestrian,
such amount is deductible, provided
at the time the injury occurred the
car was being used for business"
These items cannot be deducted
from your income tax return:
"Fines paid by motorist when
the car is operated for business or
professional purposes, or for pleas
ure.
1.-THE purchase price Of an auto
mobile, whether used wholly for
business or pleasure.
1.-THE 3 per cent Federal war ex-
else tax on the wholesale value of
new cars, which is paid by the pur-
chaser"
