MANY LOSE JOBS

The Mitten interests have taken
over the Quaker City Cab Co, the
largest competitor the P. R. 7.

Saturday the North Philadelphia
Garage, employing large number
Of men, was discontinued by the
Quaker Cab Co., throwing many men
out of work.
This again proves to the workers
that the paternalist schemes of the
bosses are against their interests.
The Mitten Co. uses all sorts of fake
company unions, stock ownership
schemes, etc, to keep the workers in
subsection.
At present the cab drivers average
from S22 to S28 a week, the mechan-
les and machinists from 45 to 70 cents
an hour The working conditions are
bad. Some of the garages do not use
fans to expel the gas fumes and it
is not unusual to see workers col
lapse. They work from to "a hours
day and most of them seven days
a week, speeded up to the limit.
The Quaker City shops are full of
rumors of further lay-offs.

Laurette Taylor Back
on Broadway in Weak
Zoe Atkins Play

THE nearest thing to a lunatic asy-
lum is "The Furies" by Zoe Atkins
now playing at the Shubert Theatre.
While the play has one of the finest
casts in New York City, it fails to
make sense.
The play stars Laurette Taylor
who returns to Broadway after a
two year absence and struggles in
vain with an unusually difficult role.
Altho the play itself is of practically
no consequence, to watch Miss Taylor
makes up to a large degree for the
stupidity and boredom of the pro-
duction.
The story concerns Mrs. Fiji Sands,
portrayed by Miss Taylor, who is con-
templating a divorce when her hus-
band is suddenly murdered. Both Fiji
and Owen Mcdonald (Frederick Wor-
lock- whom she was to marry after
she is freed, are in turn suspected of
the crime. The scene where the dis
trict attorney quizzes the two lovers,
their servants and their friends is the
only sane and rational part of the
play.
Of course some one else is guilty Of
the murder, and in the third and
final act when the mystery is solved,
Miss Taylor is able to put in some
of the best ticks of the evening.
Other members of the cast who
stand out are A. E. Arson, Estelle
Winwood and Greta Kemble Cooper.
Ian MacLaren, one of the best char
acter actors in America, is wasted in
small part.
The settings in the play are by
James Reynolds who has done fine
job. The staging is by George
Cukor S. A. P.

rade Olgin spoke at the International

his lecture was "Whither America 2"
In a very concise talk he reviewed
the internal situation and our rela-
tions abroad. He showed on the one
hand, all the factors which have led
up to our present period of depres-
sion and the terrible conditions of the
workers. He did not forget the role
that the labor takers have played in
this.
As a result of these conditions, he
said, bitter struggles are bound to
occur between the workers and CAPT
talists whose offensive against the
workers is becoming more and more
severe.
On the other hand, he showed how
our imperialist policy abroad is lead
ing us into the most frightful wars
the world has yet known.

port of the February Plenum Of the

PROVIDENCE, r. l., (By MaiD.
The mill workers of the Ions
dale Co, Ann & Hope Textile Mill
have just been presented by the com
pany with a reward for faithful
service, a gift of the 54-hour week
instead of the hard won 4S-hOur
week, to take effect Monday,
March 18th.
The workers, however. have con-
cluded that a longer day means
shorter pay, and eagerly read
leaflets on the subject.
The leaflets called for immedi-
ate action, inlOrder 10 prevent the
instituting Of the 54-hour week in
their mill and its spread to other
mills.
The after work meeting called
for in the leaflet is bound to
stimulate the fighting spirit of
these workers, especially when
they learn of the recent victory
of the British textile workers in
forcing their bosses to continue the
4S-hour week instead of the 55H-
hour week that the mill owners
tried to put into force.
Textile workers organize and
defeat the 54-hour week as the
British workers have done.

LAWRENCE, Mass, (By MaiD
The following notice greeted the
workers in the cotton section of
the Pacific Mills of Lawrence when
they came to work this morning:
"As result of several confer
ences with the employees of the
cotton division of the Pacific
Mills, a reduced schedule has
been agreed upon.
"The new schedule, effective
March 10, 1928, is as high as is
being paid in other Massachu-
sets mills on similar products"
The wage cut agreed" upon is
expected to be 10 per cent.
After the 1919 strike the bosses
of the Pacific Mills attempted to
put into operation a company
union program. The Lawrence
United Front Committees success
fully exposed this company union
and the workers of the Pacific
Mills have utterly no use for it.
The American Federation of
Textile Operatives have some
lOomfixers organized in this sec
ton of the Pacific Mills and they
held a meeting in Loomfixers' Hall
here Sunday, March 4th, on wheth-
er to accept the cut or not, which
was merely rumor at this time,
a feeler to test the workers spirit
This union has a reactionary of
ficiaI at the head of ii by the name
of Oliver Christian. Mr.. Christian
belongs to the discredited company
union. He advocated compromise
of 5 per cent. The textile work

vice of the Progressive Textile

BENLD, H., (By Mail).-J o e
Carnella, president of sub-district 6,
United Mine Workers of America,
failed in an attempt to stop the Save
the Union rally in Benld last night.
The local Save-the-Union Committee
Secured hall and put out leaflets for
a meeting at z p, m. Then Sneaky
Joe got in his dirty work.
He went to Carhnville and saw
Sheriff Stubblefield. The sheriff be-
ing faker, as most sheriffs are, and
always anxious to carry out the or
ders of the operators or their tools,
called up the police in Benld.
He lied to the Behld chief and told
him there would be a riot in Benld
if this meeting was held and ordered
him to stop the meeting. Fearing that
his orders would not be carried out,
the sheriff and the progressive" Joe,
drove to Benld and met the local
chief of police.
The Save-the- Union Committee
finding the hall closed to them, en-
gagged another hall only to find this
closed also. Then the crowd moved
over to the school grounds and held
an enthusiastic meeting,
Joe who was fast learning his trade
of stool-pigeon went to the sheriff
again and tried his damndest to have
them stop the meeting. The chief had
a little respect for free speech Cor
the size of the crowd: Ed and re-
fused to break up the meeting unless
a riot was started.
The only "seditious statement" that
stool-pigeon Joe could report was
"They said they were going TO throw
Lewis out" Nowhere in any book
of law could our police find this de-
scribed as unlawful. And so the
meeting continued. Joe Carnella,
progressive" faker and stool-pigeon,
is now the Joke of all Bend.
When Carnella came to the chief
from our open air meeting he said,
"Chief, there are 300 up in the
school grounds, go up and dispense
them" This was too much for the
chief. He asked, What are they say
-ing?"
"Why," says Joe, they are want
ing to throw out Lewis
