and inform on their fellow workers.
The men sometimes must put in part
of their miserable earnings to hold
their Jobs, as blackboards face them
in the garages reading, ave must
have certain amount each day per
each cab. Hustlers can do it. Three
men were let go yesterday Do you
want to be next 2" And the men
realize that they must turn in a
certain amount of their wages to
hold their jcbs-another form of
cooperation with the boss" as Nit
ten likes it.
The machinists are speeded-up to
the full limit, yes, even more than
human being can stand. Several
workers said to me recently that to
work for Mitten was to be in hell.
Some stated that. they were ill from
the speed-up.
The mechanics are underpaid and
again speeded-up and forced to do
the work of the mechanics of the
former Quaker City Cab garage,
who now realize that Mitten cares
for nothing but profits and that for
this reason he turned hundreds of
men out to starve, men who gave up
the best Dart Of their lives in en-
ricbing the capitalists Of the Quaker
City Co.
Mitten's plan means misery, un-
employment, wage cuts, speed-up,
etc. Mitten who peddles stock to
the white collar slaves and gullible
workers, no doubt laughs at the
ignorance of workers who do not
know that their miserable earnings
invested in his stock and their saw
ings in his bank are being used
against them to exploit them harder.
Mitten now controls the public
service commission Of Philadelphia,
the grating city council and the
gang republican mayor, everyone
who carr be bought to betray the
workers.
But there issa spirit of unrest
among the Mitten slaves. What they
must do is organize a strong union
Of their own to fight wage cuts, the
speed-up, etc. w. G. P.

u. S. PERIALISM
HEARS LECTURE:
At N.Y.LUNCHEON
Americans Must Get
Into Asia, Is Stated

At the yearly luncheon whereby
they celebrate their anniversary, the
members of the Foreign Policy AS
ISOLATION on Saturday heard a num-
Der of speakers. Chester II. Rowell
Of California told the audience that
Japan was profiting from Ameri-
cas- Nicaraguan and Monroe Doc
trine lessons, and intends to have
Japanese Doctrine to help them hold
Manchuria. All this is not so good
for American imperiaIists, who also
want Manchurian resources.
The editor of the Survey spoke
on the subject of peace, of which
he did not see much in a trip to
Europe, where he observed that
there were 100000 more men un-
der arms than in 1918.
Rowell emphasized that American
imperialism must get into Asia, and
must make friendly approaches to
China" (meaning the counter-rev-
dictionary Kuomintang). He said
the Chinese see that Ameri-
cans treat the Japanese like
human beings when they are in
Japan, and that was not because
Americans approve of Japanese Gull
ture, but are aware of Japanese
power. But when Americans are in
China the Chinese do not get Ahe
same treatment, and this tends to
make the Chinese suspicious of
America. He fears that other i'm
perialist nations viii win Chinese
trade.

M1TTEN. PLAN BRINGS
WAGE CUTS IN PH7LA.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (By MaiD
.-Mitten, whose plan caused the
hosiery workers to lose their strike
against the Ajax and Federal mills
here, will no doubt make the labor
imisleaders howl with glee at the
misery which this exploiter and la
'bor hater has caused the workers
in the cab industry.
At the time of the Quaker Cab
Company's passing into MNten con-
troll this Worker Correspondent
stated that the result would be wage
slashes, speed-up and the firing of
workers and it did. For this IS one
of the ways in which the exploiters
"collaborate" with the workers.
500 TO 700 JobIess.
The hundreds of drivers and me-
chanics and tool room attendants
who were thrown out at the closit g
of the last garage OF the Quaker
City Cab Co.. from 500 to 700 were
tnr, wn into the already swollen
ranks of the unemployed.
This damn labor hater. Mit.an,
ran true to term. Thrse workers
who were told to 60 under another
examination if they wished to slave
. for Mitten. They were Their inves;i-
gated by Mitten's spies and fired
Tor such causes as being witnesses
\ in damage, of accident cases against
Mittcn's utility ompanies, or for
being under suspicion # being Il
terested in labor organizations (let
the officials of the hosiery workers
please note).
But this is net all. To top the
already existing miscry caused by
Mitten, all those employed sby the
Yellow Cab Co. had their wages
slashed and all the mscnsnics OF the
Yellow Cab are row forced !c do
their own repair work III the Quaker
Cabs, thus making The already
speeded-up slaves more wretched
and making more profits for Mitten.
The cab drivers Of the Yellow Cab
Co., under the control of Mitten,
work under system of spies and
an oppression hardly believable.

Sixty-five girls and seven mer
yesterday found their way to safety
when fire, starting on the second
floor of four-story building al
1850 Broadway, in Williamsburg,
spread to the upper floors into Muir
phys Business School, where so stu
dents were in the midst of their
lessons, and into a factory on the
top floor.
The fire started in dancing acad-
envy conducted by Sydney E. Fest,
and rapidly spread to the upper
floors. The underwear factory of
lSchurtzkman and Company, on the
fourth floor, which employs five
gnen and seven women, was also
menaced by the flames. 1t was only
by their calmness that the factory
workers saved themselves from GER
tain death.
Passersby on the street, seeing
the smoke coming out of the second
story window, Immediately turned in
an alarm. Meanwhile those in the
business school on the. third floor
and the workers in the factory on

WINERY vUIE III
MAINTAIN FIGHT
Min erich Calls for
Militant Battle

Continued from Pdqe One
ton and without warning to the
coal diggers. 1t is evident that
McGarry took no account of the in
terests of the miners and hoped by
the move merely to secure recog-
milton of his misleadership from the
Pennsylvania Coal Company. When
the company showed it's resistance,
the cowardly leadership of the Nc
Garry forces became evident. Nc
Garry refused to call for mass pick
citing, and conceded without resis-
lance to the orders of Mayor Giles
pie of Pittston forbidding meetings
in Pittston.
Over 5000 miners crowded the
meeting place today which McGar-
ry called for Browntown in con-
formity with the orders of little
dictator" Gillespie. Walter Har-
ris, secretary Of the McGarry union,
was the first speaker. His first
words were a call for a vote to re-
turn to work. 1t became evident
that the plan of McGarry was to
stampede the miners back. The
coal diggers, however, voted over
whelmingly to stay out. McGarry
was the second speaker. He, too.
called for a vote to end the strike
even though the miners had Just
voted to remain out. As a climax,
Hogan, board member of the Nc
Garry forces, then arose and again
demanded return to work vote.
which was again rejected.
Minerich Urges Solidarity.
McGarry sought to prevent Mine
rich from speaking, but the militant
mine leader secured the floor, to the
applause of a number of coal dig
gers who recognized him. Calling
upon the miners to unite their forces
with their bituminous brothers,
Minerich pointed out that the Ma
tional Miners Union offers the only
hope and the only true program. He
called upon the miners to stand out
in militant battle against the con-
tractor system, in which Alexander
Campbell and Peter Reilly, as well
as other really militant leaders, have
already given up their lives. When
McGarry sought to become the head
of the new anthracite union, he
spoke in the name of the heroic
Campbell, whose policies he is now
going back on.
Build Labor Party.
Minerich also called upon the min
ers to build Labor Party and thus
to set up force of their own against
the kind of operator tactics being
carried on by Mayor Gillespie.
1t was learned here today that
McGarry, Hogan and Harris last
night met in secret conference
with Sheriff McLuskey and Clifton
Rogers, of the state police last night.
The meeting lasted for four hours
from to IL o'clock, following which
the police officers met with repre-
sentatives of the coal company. Elk
actly what took place at the meet
ing is unknown, but it is suspected
that the policy of going back to
work advocated to today's meeting
in Browntown was there agreed
upon.
Mayor Gillespie To-Day issued an
open letter of defiance 10 the pro-
test of the American Civil Liberties
Union and Roger Baldwin, its airec-
ter, demanding the right to hold
meeting in Pittston. Gillespie de-
clared that he accepted the chal-
lenge and that "rights" or no rights,
no meetings would be held.

popularize it among the workers and
trade unionists of Paterson, because
it is expected that the A. F. of L.
trade union officialdom in the city
will sabotage or actively oppose so
militant demonstration of unity
among the working class here. In
Vulnerable signs are being prepared,
posters are in print and leaflets are
being run off the presses, for de-
luging the town with information
and calls for the parade.
Conference Thursday.
The organizations that respond to
the request to join the march are to
get together Thursday night at the
Associated Union headquarters in a
conference that will act on last
minute preparations.
Fred Biedenkapp, national secre-
tary of the Workers International
Relief, who addressed the silk
strikers at their mass meeting here
today, was accorded a great ovation.
He answered the request of the union
for aid by pledging the initiation
of an immediate nationwide cam
paign for the relief of the silk
strikers.
Calls for Militant Struggle
After giving more details of the
plans for relief, Biedenkapp told the
strikers the responsibilities they
were expected to carry in making
the drive success. "We expect"
said Biedenkapp, that the striking
silk workers will make it possible for
US to interest the labor movement in
your struggle by the way you con-
duct your fight against the bosses"
The speaker drove his point home
when he said: "The working class
outside will apportion their response
according to the militancy with
which this fight is carried on"
The day shift at the Lexington
Mills was locked out this morning
because they sent strike ultimatum
to the boss who refused to settle
with the night shift. Instead the
boss insisted on hiring a night shift
from workers handpicked from the
outside. The demand of the day
shift that the night workers be
settled with and that the boss get
men from the union was met with
the lockout this morning. Picket
lines were Immediately established.
Settled" Shop Strikes Again.
Due to the agitation of the left
wing in the strike, another Settled
shop came out on strike again, when
the workers, opening their pay en-
velopes last Saturday. found wages
reduced by one and half cents an
hour. The widespread practice of
the bosses is to violate the fake
agreements they have made, prac-
tice ignored by the union officialdom.
The struck shop is Weitner and Son.
The entire crew walked out this
morning and picketing was i'm
mediately resumed.
Great interest is being shown by
the silk workers here as the time for
the Ira lie Union Educational
League meeting approaches. The
meeting is to be held tomorrow night
in the Lithuanian Hall. John J. Bal
lam for the Trade Union Educa-
tional League, William w. Vein
stone for the Workers (Communist)
Party and Albert Weisbord for the
National Textile Workers Union will
speak.
