Ell ECTION Meet
AT BISCUIT PLANT

For tho first time the Election
Campaign Committee of Section 2
of the Workers (Communist) Party
conducted an open-air MONDAY meet
ing at 18th Street and Tenth Ave-
nue., alongside the four huge plants
of the National Biscuit Company
yesterday. h
The workers of the Nabisco
plants, usually idle during their
lunch hour, gathered around Bert
Miller and listened attentively to
his talk on the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party and what it means to
workers. Besides speaking on the
election campaign, Miller empha-
sized the fact that the poor condi-
tions in the Nabisco factories were
due to lack of organization among
the workers, and urged his eager
listeners to organize into union.
Despite the spy system used by
the Nabisco bosses, the workers
listening to the speaker evinced
great interest, interjecting occa-
sional words of approval. Copies of
"The Coolidge Program" and "The
Workers (Communist) Party And
Witt 1t Stands For" were distribu.

Everything points to the fact that

ing tremendous following of mil
liant workers and farmers thru

efforts to secure place on the bal
lots of the various states. This will
enable the Party to carry on the
vigorous fighting campaign for
which the situation is actually rot
ten ripe.
In statement issued by the ma
tional campaign headquarters of
the Workers (Communist) Party, the
need for political organization, and
an appeal for funds to make possible
this political organization, was
stressed. The appeal follows:

Charges that hack inspectors, act

inal Identification cards from taxi
cabs as drivers were inside of res
taurants, attending to other bust
ness, have been made during the
past two weeks by taxi drivers and
officials of taxi associations.
Hugo Werber, business manager
of the Broad Street Taxi Owners
Association, has been quoted as say
ing that thousands of taxi drivers
have had their card~ taken in this
way"
Inspectors have had orders, it was
learned, from Commissioner Rutten-
berg, in charge Of the hack bureau,
to pick up cards in cabs that are
left vacant. According to hack regu-
lations, cards must be displayed
conspicuously in the drivers cab.
Garages Raided
The Tammany hack inspectors,
drivers state, are not satisfied with
picking up these Identification cards
on the streets. These inspectors are
known to go to garages and pick up
cards left in the cabs by their own
ers.
Drivers going to work in the
morning, on examining their cabs,
are known to have found their card
missing. The driver then must re-
port the loss to his precinct station
house. Here he is usually told that
his card is on the way downtown.
If the driver lives in the far end of
the Bronx or Queens, this means a
trip down to the hack license bu-
reau on Greenwich st. By the time
he arrives there half his day is usu-
ally gone. There he must stand in
line and wait his chance to inquire

In-~New Bedford, where three

ARCTIC VETERANS ON
SOVIET ICE BREAKERS

In order to effectively organize
the rescue expedition for Mobile and
his companions the Soviet govern

the "Krassin," the most powerful in
the world, and the "Malygin" in

aviators with long experience in
Artic exploration. Professor Sa-
moilovich, the leader of the "Kras-

extensive researches in the region
of Spitzbergen. Aviators Chukhnov-

among the foremost of Soviet avia-

flights in the Arctic regions.
Veteran Explorer.
Professor Wise, the chief explorer
of the "Malygin," spent consider
able time in making a reconnois-
sance of the regions of Novaya Zem-
bla and Franz Joseph Land with
the Saydov expedition in 1912 and
1914. The foggy weather which so
greatly hampered the work of res
cue was predicted in the reports of
Professor Multanovsky, director of
the meteorological section of the
Central Geophysical Laboratory, on
the basis of observations made by
Nansen in 1896, by the Saydov
expedition and by others. Accord
ing to these studies, as many as
25 foggy days have been observed
during the month of June in this
region.

Youth L,eGehe
Has Military
Training Now

A new course in the curriculum
Of the summer training schools for
young workers this year is military
training. While the capitalist mill
tary organizations are preparing
for imperialist wars, and to use the
military forces against the work
ers, the students in the training
schools are obtaining military
knowledge to use for their own class
interests.
The Young Workers (Communist)
League is opposed to capitalist mill
tarism and will continue to fight
the c. M. 7. c. and other institu-
tions of this type, but we realize
that pacifism is an equally effec-
tive instrument of imperialism.
The military courses for young
workers demonstrates our stand for
military knowledge-when it will be
used for the interest of the work i
ing class.
