meeting. All other workers in the
shops are also appealed to inform
their Italian fellow workers to come
to the meeting.
In the yellow sheet of the reac-
tionary Jewish labor leaders, the
socialist" Forward, historical
creaks of CONSERVATION filled almost
the entire front page. Not able to
deny that Bronx Stadium was
damned, it's columns, shrek that no
cloakmakers were there, only Com
munists and passers-by attended
the meeting, mostly Communists,
however, they point out. Several
sentences later they inform their
readers that the enthusiastic meet
ing lacked spirit" Workers, who
hear of this, puncture the obvious
lies by asking, eff it was a meeting
packed full of Communists why
should applause be lacking?"
Even the trade papers of the en-
ployers, always staunch supporters
of the Sigman right wing gang, adj
nit an enthusiastic meeting.

WALKER FIGHTS
TRACTION PLAN

The Tammany city administra-
ton is planning to reject the So
called Untermeyer transit readjust-
ment plan, it was learned yesterday
from reliable sources.
Action or at least discussion on
the plan is due to be taken up at a
Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment meeting in the near future.
Recently the mayor announced from
his Hollywood vacation haunts be-
tween sips of champagne and fir
tations with moving picture ac-
tresses, that he was opposed to the
public corporation feature of the
Untermeyer plan. He politely let
the world know at the time that
only a simon pure private grab
would be to his liking. Untermeyer
promptly rejoined that there was
little difference in their intentions
but intimated that his own way of
putting the proposition was greatly
to be preferred.
Under the Untermeyer plan de-
signed for the needy Morgan. inter-
ests, the control over traction
would practically be eliminated
from the hands Of the local Tam
many patriots. There appears to
be about as much chance of the
Walker gang giving up these hap
ply hunting grounds as there is for
AL Smith to renounce his General
Motors lineage.

demand of the deputy.

fluence of his frenzied "Come to

Church.
Il am making the suggestion that
we debate both in my church, Cal

BOARD APPROVES
BIG GAS MERCER
Predict Higher Rates
as Result

Despite the protests of the Pub
lie Committee on Power, and from
organizations of consumers all over
New York City, the Public Service
Commission yesterday afternoon
approved the application of the Con-
solidated Gas Company of New
York for permission to purchase the
Brooklyn Edison Company.
Several days ago, Governor
Smith, in prediction gesture
made for the purpose of attracting
the liberal vote to the cause of Tam
many Hall, requested the commits
sion to reopen the hearings on the
merger, and allow people not own
ing stocks in either of the two COM
panies to present their case. But
Big Business was stronger than
Smith, its lackey, and the protests
of the people were ignored in spite
of Smiths big stunt.
The approval was given at a
meeting yesterday which lasted
more than two and half hours,
and which was attended by William
A. Prendergast, chairman. and Com
missioners Pooley, VanNamee and
Lunn. The meeting was held in
Prendergast's office, at 100 Broad
way, and proceeded behind closed
doors.
Now that the merger has been
definitely approved, the inevitable
result will be the rise in gas and
electric rates in the near future, the
Public Committee said.

BIG GAS MERCER
WILL PASS TODAY
Public Protest to Be
Ignored

Failing a last Minute change of
position on the part of the politi-
clans in control Of the Public Service
Commission, the proposed billion
dollar merger of the Consolidated
Gas Company of New York and the
Brooklyn Edison Company will be
officially approved by the Commits
sior today, despite protests in New
York and vicinity.
If the official sanction of the
merger goes through, prediction
protest" gesture of Governor
Smith, asking that the public COM
mites be heard, made for the pur-
pose of attracting the liberal vote
to Tammany Hall, will have been
disregarded by the Commission,
which is made up of two democrats
and two republicans.
The protest of the Public Com
mittee on power, made through their
lawyer, Morris L. Ernst, objected
to the merger on the ground that
it would take all power of control
over the light company out of the
hands of New York State officials.
They also insisted that the merger
will place the Koppits Gas and Coke
Company of Philadelphia, Mellon
concern which owns most of the
stock in both the Consolidated and
Edison, in complete control of the
power throughout the New England
States.

CHINESE TRADE UNIONS
SEEK WOLRD LABOR AID

to take part in any strikes, even of
a strickly economic character.
Murder Unionists.
The British, Japanese, and Ameri-
can authorities are hunting for the
workers, handing them over to the
Chinese hangmen. The English
courts trade in the heads of our
brother workers. Nearly all the
leaders of the trade union move
ment were arrested upon territories
of the foreign settlements and con-
cessions and handed over to the Chi
nese bourgeoisie. All of them were
beheaded, while the British and
Japanese spies received thousands
for the heads of our leaders.
All this does not satisfy the
murderers of the Chinese people.
Not all the sweat and blood of the
Chinese people has been pumped out
and turned into dollars for the i'm
perialists, and the latter, having
bribed the Chinese bourgeoisie, are
pulling China to pieces. The Japan
csc government is engaged in open
Intervention in the North, having oc-
cupied Tsinang and Manchuria,
while the British are carrying on a
masked intervention in Kwantung.
Yet Chang Kai-shek and the other
generals, having sold themselves to
The imperialists, keep silent about
those things. All of them are turn
ing their hungry eyes towards the
Yangtse Valley and are prepared to
fight over the sharing out of China.
Not only is the blood of the Chi
nese people shed, but preparations
are in progress for an even more
terrible and bloody deed. Your gov
ernments, for the sake of sharing
the spoils, are preparing for new
war in China.
Fight Imperialism.
Dear brothers and fellow workers,
you should not allow such mockery
over China, you should demand the
discontinuance of the traffic in the
heads of Chinese toilers, you should
demand a prohibition on extraditing
prisoners into the hands of the Chi
nese authorities, you should demand
the withdrawal Of all warships and
armed forces from China, you
should come to our aid, because Just
now your governments are prepar-
ing for a new war in China. You
should demand that your govern
ments give up all interference in the
internal affairs of China.
We are firmly convinced that you
will come to our aid and that you
will help us in our struggle for
right, life, and liberty, against the
entire counter-revolutionary bour-
geoisie.
Fight War Menace.
We rely upon your fraternal soil
darity and your fraternal aid. The
cup of patience of the Chinese peo-
pie is becoming filled. The Chinese
peasantry is rising again, while the
soldiers refuse to take up arms
against the people and go over to
the side of the toilers.
Help us in our struggle and
thereby you will also fight against
the menace of new world war.
With fraternal greetings,
The All China Federation of
Labor Unions, Sou Chao Jeng,
Chairman.
