LOUGHEED, THREE
OTHERS INDICTED
Tammany Graft in City
Piling Up

William ]. Lougheed, street clean
ing department garage forman, whose
confession revealed that the street
cleaning department under Mayor
Walker was honeycombed with COR
.ruption, was yesterday indicted, to-
gether with three other street clean
ing employees, for forgery and grand
larceny.
The others indicted were Benjamin
P. Stoeber, an assistant foreman, Will
liam ]. Oswald, a section foreman,
and Charles A. MCGEE, an assistant
superintendent. Additional indict-
ments charging violation of the penal
c)de in unlawfully accepting fees while
IN office, were returned against Os-
valid and MCGEE. The four will be
arraigned Monday for pleading and
fixing of bail. Warrants for the ar
rest of five other employees of the
street cleaning department were is
sued.
The indictment of Lougheed follows
revelations made by him which threat
ened to involve higher ups in the
Walker Tammany administration, had
not a soft-pedal been applied Ito
Lougheed's charges.
A check-up Of 90 names on the pay
roll of the Street Cleaning Depart
ment in the Bronx revealed that only
five were actually employed in the de-
partment.
New York's graft machine may pos
sibly gain new wheel in the build
ing of the so-called model tenements
on the East Side, it was learned yes
terday. While grand juries in Queens
and the Bronx were hearing testimony
yesterday on the sewer and street de-
partment cleaning steals in their re-
spective boroughs, rumors began to
spread that the project of Mayor
Walker for the widening of Forsyth
and Christie SITS. and the erection of
homes sponsored by August Heckscher
was already covered with graft before
any of the actual work has been
started

What the Convention win Do.

l. The adoption of the election
platform of the Party.
2. The nomination of presidential
candidates.
3. The election of National Cam
paign Committee.
This Nominating Convention is of
tremendous Importance not only for
our Party but for the whole working
class. 1t is one of the most significant
events in the political life Of the
American workers. The Central Com
nittee urges that every state organi-
zation, no matter how it must strain
itself financially, be represented.
Special nominating conventions to Sc
lect these delegates are to be held.
This convention viii be a class
struggle convention. The keynote of
our Party throughout the campaign
will be for a militant class struggle.
Our Party is, however, more than a
Party of immediate struggles. Our
Party aims at the mobilization and
organization of the working class
through the very immediate strug-
giles for the purpose Of overthrowing
capitalism, establishing the prole-
tartan dictatorship, a Soviet Repub-
lie, and the building up of Com
munist society.
All Party Members Called to Action.
Every Party member must do
everything in his or her power to
make this National Nominating Con-
vention success from beginning to
end. Representatives from the work
ers in the mine strike fields, the tex
tile mills and the needle trades shops
will play very prominent role in the
deliberations and the decisions of the
convention. Labor organizations
throughout the country are sending
fraternal delegates. Labor unions, CO.
operative organizations, and organiza-
tions of farm hands and exploited
farmers are selecting fraternal dele
gates to attend this convention. The
Young Workers (Communist) League
of America is cooperating energeti-
cally.
Comradesl Let us make this year
Of determined successful struggle
against the exploiting class, against
A.. .rican Imperialism! Let US throw
ourselves most theoretically into the
class war against capitalism! Let US
all fall in line to make this conven-
ton center for the mobilization of
our Party and source of inspiration
for every workingman and working
woman in the country for the fight
against the capitalist class, for the
victory of the working class.

No one can today associate the social
list party with any of the struggle
Of the working class. At its last con
vention the socialist party made Q
sharp break with whatever class ira
ditions it once had. Under the leader
ship of Hillquit, Berger, Maurer and
Thomas, it outlawed the class strug
gle. Today the socialist party ap-
pears as an enemy of the working
class to be fought mercilessly.
The Workers (Communist) Party
of America is the only Party of work
ing class struggle in the United
States. Our Party is a Party of revo-
lutionary class struggle. We are MOI
only vigorous participants but ener-
getic leaders in all of the struggles
of our working class. The Contra
Executive Committee is calling this
National Nominating Convention il
order to mobilize more effectively
our Party's resources for participa-

election campaign for arousing and

by the working class to the capitalist
offensive.

Reports from all parts of the
United States show the Workers
(Communist) Party most active in

respective state ballots. For the first
time in the history of the Party, COM
rades in the South are making the
greatest effort to have Communist
candidates III the running for politi-
cal posts and to use the coming cam
paisn to throw into the foreground
the sharpening class struggle in the
south now rapidly being industrial
lied as new stronghold of capitalist
exploitation.
NORFOLK, Va, May 1.-THE
Workers Communist Party of Vir-
ginia will hold it's state convention ON

and will also place the Party on

nomination by state convention. ~
Reports from the middle-west in
dictate that efforts are being made to
get on the ballot in the states of Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma, Kansas. These three
states are among the most difficult
in the country. The requirements are
most stringent and the law so form
ulated as to prohibit new parties from
going into the elections, but the COM
rades are undaunted and are deter
mined to get on the ballot.

BALTIMORE, May 11.-A ten-cent
fare here was today legalized in de-
cision by Judge Joseph N. Ulman of
the federal circuit court in which he
held that the present fare of nine
cents or three tokens for quarter is
unreasonable and Illegal"
The decision is considered one of
the most sweeping victories ever won
in court by street railway com
pany, The judge found for the trac-
ton line at every principal point. The
court held that an annual earning of
less than 71a%6 would be confiscatory
and that the annual depreciation
charge fixed by the public service
commission was based on Erroneous
and Illegal standards"

Significant Decision.

The effect of the decision by fed
eral court in Baltimore granting a.
ten cent fare to the United Railways
Company is regarded as having CON
siderable significance in the fight of
the New York traction companies for
an increased fare. The decision of
the court confirming the company's
contention that so earnings annually
is a 'fair basis" of return bears di-
rectly on the local situation. The
stock of the Baltimore company like
that of the New York lines is about
5000 water" and an 80 guarantee
is the equivalent of about a 2004o re-
turn yearly ON actual investment.

Poor things, what a disappointment!
Think Of expecting to become one Of the Elite and then find
ing out that you are just plain Mrs Nobody after all, no matter how
much money you have, nor how big your house mol how many
servants you pay.
It must be very hard to want to be an Elite and not be able
to be one, even when you are perfectly willing to pay for it Rather
too bad it seems to me. You can buy clothes and you can buy a
complexion and you can buy manners and you can buy an eduea;
tion-of sorts. Why, you can even buy family portraits and label
them Great Uncle William. If you are discreet about it no one will
ever be the wiser.
But this elite business-whisper, dear ladies Of the melan-
choly nine-don't feel too badly about It'll You haven't had your
money long enough, that's all Just hold on to it for a few years
and by the time your little daughters II riding in the park with

Isn't il a glorious thought? ! don't know just what the elite
do that makes the life they lead so enhancing. They eat the same
food, drink the same drinks, wear the same Clothes, fall in love and
out again the same way, quarrel with their in-aws just as the un.
elite do-and to be quite truthful about il, they often look a bit
bored, don't you think? Some of the daughters are really rather
plain-haven't you observed it?
Honestly now, ladies of the mournful nine, what did you think
you were going to gain by having your names in the Elite Direc-
tory? The envy of Cousin Emmaline, the spiteful comment of old
Aunt Hannah, a few rather cruel jokes from the real elite, some
more circulars and a whole lot more begging lettersl
Well, anyhow, we are all sorry for you. 1t must have been
a heartrending disappointment-to say nothing Of the money
involved.
