l, a taxicab driver, would like TO
have this letter printed in the Daily
Worker, the only paper in English
that is really the workers paper.
The police have charge of all taxi
drivers. They have a court at
Greenwich st. in which they try the
hack-drivers. The man in charge
is a man named Drennen. No one
is allowed at the trial. Drennen is
both prosecutor and judge. All
statements made by the taxi driver
nj his own defense are disregarded.
No lawyer is allowed for the driver,
Regardless of the charge, and the
circumstances under which it is
made, the defendant is always found
guilty. Imagine this prejudiced be-
mig having charge of $4,000 taxi
drivers. Where do we get the "fair
trial" that is talked about? Such
conditions will force the taxi drivers
to realize that their proper place is
with the Taxicab Chauffeurs Union,
affiliated with the Trade Union
Unity League, the only organization
that has their interests in considera-
ton.

pu blicity was given in the capitalist
press last winter to Henry Ford's
statement that he would employ
10000 extra workers. The fact that
Ford has laid off $4,000 workers at
the River Rouge plant in recent
weeks has been suppressed by the
capitalist newspapers. Besides the
lay-off at the River Rouge plant,
the Dearborn plant is shut down, af-
fecting thousands more workers.
When the plants resume hiring,
the men laid off will be taken back
as new men" at the minimum wage.
Many other automobile plants have
laid off thousands. On one shift of
the Briggs Body Co. plant not a
man is working.
