CITY MOVES TO
POSTPONE FARE
RAISE BY |. R. I.
Announce Deal On to
Purchase B.-M.T t.

Three temporary injunctions were
issued yesterday restraining the In
terborough Rapid Transit Company
from introducing cent fare on its
lines. Any one of these might suf-
flee if allowed to develop and grow
strong.
The New York State Transit Com
mission rejected the plea of the Inter-
borough for permission to make the
increase which the Interborough had
earlier applied for.
The Interborough filed in the
United States District Court suit
against the city, the Transit Commits
sion, the Manhattan Railway Com
pany and William A. Prendergast of
the metropolitan division of the De-
partment of Public Service, in which
it seeks relief from the "confisca-
tory" restrictions of the contract un-
der which it operates the lines, es-
pecially the cent fare provision.
Untermyer Retracts.
And if these three major events
were not yet enough for one day, Mr..
Untermyer, he of many words, issued
several Enthusiastically long state
ments in which he disavowed all the
mean things which it has been sup
posed he has said against the officers
of the l. R. T.
The Interborough was first to rush
into court by filing lengthy COM
plant in printed form in the Federal
Court. By bringing suit in the fed
eral rather than in the state courts
the Interborough hopes to secure the
advantage over the city.
In the complaints attached, the In.
terborough prays for relief from the
sacts of desperation" by the city, re-
ferring to "inflammatory appeals"
which it charges city officials and
particularly Mr.. Untermyer has made
against it. "No alternative" it says,

Company but to place itself within

FOR GRAND JURY
Alex Fried and 5 Others
Held for Assault

Alex Fried, the leader of the right
wing in the Furriers' Union and chief
agent of the American Federation of
Labor in the carrying out of the lat
ter organizations campaign of de-
struction against the Joint Board
Furriers' Union was held for the
grand jury yesterday by Magistrate
John " Flood in jefferson Market
Court. With him were also held five
other hirelings of the right wing
union" The judge postponed setting
the bail for them till today.
All six are charged with having
attacked, last week, with knives, Max
Fineman, a fur worker, who was
walking in the fur market on Sixth
Ave. This is the second time the
case, was brought up in this court,
due to the fact that Fineman was
too injured to appear in court. Heavy
bail was set for the release last week
of the six, who are: Fried, H. Reiss,
|. Moskowitz, julius Schaeffer, Moe
Passman, and Harry Pitt.
Fried was appointed by Matthew
Woll, A. F. of l.. chief, to lead the
pogrom against the fur workers
union in spite of the fact that he is
known to the police as having used
several aliases while following the
burglary profession. He was SEN
fenced to serve a six-year term for
a jewelry store in Bos-
ton several years ago.

WILBUR FIGHTS

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. IA. The
Coolidge-Ohio gang administration
does not intend to surrender it's $4,-
900 100000 naval building program,
Navy Secretary Wilbur demonstrated
in an address here before the Indiana
polls Association of Business Men.
Wilbur's address was an appeal to
save the navy "from those who are
ignorantly attacking this program
T. to put us in a position where,
in sense, our sailor men will have
to fight blind-folded." 1t was designed
to answer labor and progressive
groups who have objected to the huge
naval program and to counteract the
effect of disclosures of the admins
tration's imnerialistic intentions.
Disaster Utilized.
Obviously taking advantage of the
public feeling aroused by the S-4 dis
aster, Wilbur told the employers of
indianapolis that the ships planned
in the new program could be well
called the eyes of the fleet, mention
ing scout cruisers, aircraft carriers
and submarines.
After stating that the United
States government is not seeking any
armament race with Great
Britain, Secretary Wilbur explained
in detail how the present program
is designed specifically to equal and
outdistance the naval strength of
Britain.

speech, tho Understanding the COM

BAR PROPOSAL is.
SHOWN AS DRIVE
AGAINST WORKERS
Launch Campaign to
Protest Move

Labor forces which for several
weeks have been making preparations
for united campaign Of protest
against the Woll-Cohen- American
Bar Association anti-strike law, will
tonight get their drive under way at
huge mass meeting at Manhattan
Lyceum. &C E. 4th St.
A call to the whole labor movement,
with the triple slogan: "Defend your
unions" Defend your right to strike" !"
Defend your right to organize"
has been issued by the Trade Union
Educational League which is in the
forefront of the fight to arouse the
labor movement to the menace of the
proposed anti-strike bill.
Foster. Gitlow to Speak.
VIM. T. Foster, national secretary
of the league and leader of the fa-
nous 1919 steel strike will speak at
the meeting. Ben Gitlow, mem
.ber of the Central Executive Com
mittee of the Workers (Communist)
Party who has on many past occasions
risen to defend the rights of the
workers, will also speak.
In a statement issued yesterday
Foster characterized this move on the
part of the open shoppers in coopera-
ton with! the labor bureaucrats as a
challenge to every gain which labor
has secured in the last fifty years.
If the workers 10 not act promptly
and in mass numbers, he said, law
will be put over which will be the
first step in process Of driving the
workers back into involuntary servi-
tude.
On their part the forces of the en-
ployers speaking through julius
Henry Cohen, chairman of the Bar
Association Committee, continue to
fire their bombardment of propa-
ganda in support of their formula "
Yesterday as final shot before the
opening IF the hearing on Thursday
the group fired it's biggest gun in
the form of a statement by Matthew
Woll, acting as president of the open
shop National Civic Federation and
incidentally ice-president of the
American Federation of Labor.
Woll Approves.
In this statement Woll announces
that the work of the Bar Association
Committee is the first ray of sun
shine in the fog of legal chaos" now
hanging over the labor movement.
Yet Woll admits that the courts have
uniformly favored the employees and
that at the present moment labor is
faced with the denial of every right
supposed to have been guaranteed it.
He admits further that "if the special
committee of the Bar Association is
to be successful in its endeavors, that
there must be radical change of
attitude on the part of our courts as
well as of the law under which in
functions are at present issued"
This admission that there would
have to be radical change of at
titude on the part of the courts" it
is pointed out, at once brands the
whole move with which Woll is al
lied, as plainly dishonest. For no
one knows better than Woll himself,
that the courts which are under the
control of big business, will make no
such change.
Information secured within the past
few days has led to the opinion that
