TAXI UniOnist" Is the
Fighting Paper of the
New Hackmen's Union

The first number of the Taxi
Unionist," organ of the Chauffeurs
Union of Greater New York, has
made its appearance and been dis
tributed to many of the 10000 cab
men of New York.
To be published every month, it
is the voice of those cabmen who
have realized that the only way to
fight the fleet owners, speed-up, po-
lice regulations on traffic, long
hours, little pay is by organization.
1t is militant voice that is much
needed on the streets of New York.
It's first number sets down the
demands of the new union, which
show that the union is really fight
ing in the interests of the cabmen.
1t calls upon the drivers to enter
the union and draw every one of
the 10000 men behind the wheel
into the militant organization.
It is full of correspondence from
cabmen, describing the condition of
their work and calling for organiza-
ton. In fact, organization is the
keynote of the "Taxi Unionist,"
rolled over all of its pages.
1t is paper which every cabman
should read. Every cabman should
also fill out the application for
membership in the new union which

LESS THAN half
union SCALE in
Until TAILOR CO,
Hillman Clique Aids
Rotten Conditions
by Worker Correspondent

If ever there was a rotten place
to work in it is the International
Tailoring Co. at 18th st. and Fourth
Ave. This is a big branch of a
rich firm, and they certainly are
knocking hell out of their 250-300
workers to make their profits.
Wages here run from half down to
one-third the rate of other shops.
Girls and young fellows are taken
on for almost nothing and the whole
rate is lowered. Girls on special
machines, such as telling and but
ton-holding, average the miserable
sum Of SIG to SIT. Girls would get
$50 on this work, according to the
union scale, and men $40 to $45. So
you see how we are being cheated.
Union conditions are mockery
here. No open-shop could be worse.
The workers say: eve put up a
good fight in 1924, and the leaders
sold US cut" Fellow workers, who
is responsible for our bad condi-
tions? The boss and the bosses
agents, the Hillman gang. Fight
the takers!

proved too much even for this man
aged in slavery. He lovingly adj
mits the officers of the White Army
after the Red Army had withdrawn,
only to find that his masters son
had betrayed his own son who was
hiding in the village; his masters
son with all the selfishness and mis-
erly meanness of the nobility only
showed him away when he begged
for the life of his son. And when
he finds the body of his son hang
ing in the orchard, the revolution
has at last reached the old man. He
is no longer a servant, he becomes
a fighter in the Red Army. The
white army officers in the mansion
are his deadly enemies. He sets
fire to the mansion and locks all the
doors. 1t is clear and unadulterated
revenge, the same spirit which
moved the masses Of Russia when
they seized arms and cudgels and
belabored their masters out of Rus
STA. The old servant realizes that
the whip and the gun, which his
masters used SO effectively before,
can be used even more effectivly
and more constructively by the
masses against the masters. He
also takes a gun, and as the last and
supreme token of his complete revo-
luton he shoots a white officer who
attempts to escape from the burn
ing building.
He runs off along the road to join
the Red Army. But dawn finds him
dead on the countryside, with his
hand tightly grasping the gun.
