"And workers must remember
that this A. F. of L. which Norman
Thomas locks to as the savior of
southern capitalism is the same A.
F. of l.. which at the present mo-
ment in New York City is engaged
in a shameless sell-out of the stfik-
ing truck drivers.
''It is clear that the function of
the Norman Thomases, the Mustes
and their ilk is to keep the working
class docile and impotent while capt.
talism drives ahead With it's ration
alization program of speed-up, wage
cuts and long hours in preparation
for its next, war. That is why Nor

capitalist camp; that is why he gets
as much publicity in the bosses
press as his two capitalist rivals,
Walker and LaGuardia.

in the coming municipal elections
give a decisive answer to the be-

that is also leading the struggles of
the New York workers, that fights
against Socialist thuggery and SO
cialist' alliances with the police in

immediate demands of the working
class such as social insurance and

final overthrow of capitalism and

CHEATED DRIVERS
LOOK TO 7 U. U.L-.
Ready for Irving Plaza
Meeting Tomorrow

Under auspices of the Trade Union
Unity League and the organization
committee of the Chauffeurs, Ga
rage Workers and Gasmens Indus
trial Union, a meeting of all drivers
and gasmen will be held tomorrow
s p. M, at Irving Plaza Hall, 18th
st. and Irving Place. The meeting
will take up the organization of one
industrial union for the whole indus
try.
Those in the oil truck drivers
strike, attacked by combination of
company violence, police brutality,
lying press stories, and the defeatist
actions of their union leaders" at
many places visited by T. U. U. l..
workers distributing leaflets, ex-
pressed confidence that the meeting
would be we'll atte aded. The drivers
of the Gulf Oil Co. are many of them
not back at work. Those the com
pany considered ringleaders in the
strike for the eight-hour day and
time and a half for overtime were
blacklisted.
Betrayed.
Among the Standard Oil drivers
much dissatisfaction is expressed
with the sell-ot tactics of the Team
sters' Union officials, who refused to
make any attempt to spread the
strike, refused to acquaint the strik-
ers with its progress, and took the
attitude "no one can beat the Stand-
ard OIL" which seemed to the men
on strike a strange way, to fight.
These men point out that the Off
Gals of the Transfers Union are
paid over 500 month, whether the
strike wins or not, and have little
interest, unless the company makes
it to their interest to lose the strike,
Most of the men mislead by theses
officials cey they will not continue
in the A. F. L. Transfers Union.
Action of the Transportation
Council of the A. F. of L. in New
York City, in which Pat Ryan's In
ternational Longshoremen's Assccis-
ton officialdom is power in vot-
ing to refuse to handle scab trucks,
is welcomed by the men as evidence
that the pressure of the rank and
file, who went on strike on four
docks in sympathy with the oil
drivers strike has got concessions
even from the hard boiled gang of
labor traitors.
Militant Gesture.
But they point out that during
the truck strike in New York, many
militant gestures were made by the
officials, non eof them of practical
Importance, because no effort was
made to carry them out. Longshore-
men now see that the Trade Union
Unity Leagues emphasis on rank
and file committees to lead the
strike was not misplaced. The
chance of assisting the food truck
drivers strike, which is spreading,
depends on the rank and file of the
longshoremen watching for and
stopping the scab trucks, as the Of
ficials have made no effort to iden-
tify them. Committees must be es-
tablished to pick out the scab cars.
The motion in the transportation
council was merely to refuse those
which were accompanied by police,
and Whalen- having already with
drawn the uniformed cops, and left
the job to plainclothes men AMI COM
pany guerillas.

The new law also provides that
lands can be taken into the city
only upon majority vote of the
city and residents Of the affected
area, necessitating two elections. Ir
the event the city commission ac-
cepts the recommendations Of the
chamber of commerce committee
hearings will be held after which
notice Of election will be issued In
both the city and the territory pro-
posed to be added. Separate cleo
tions are held, and a majority must

The proposition of including the
municipal airport within the city
limits also was discussed briefly and
may be recommended by the COM
mittee. AS all territory within the
limits of a city must be contigous
it will be necessary to take in the

pointed out that this would give the
city full jurisdiction over the airport

COOPERATION
FATAL TO THUG
Merchants Stay Bandit When
Alarm Sounds In Stores
Near Looted Bank

KANSAS CITY, Kan, March 20.
-(P-An unidentified bandit was
slain by neighboring merchants
when he attempted to escape after
holding up the Industrial State
bank, in the Argentine section here
today.
The bandit entered the bank,
which was crowded with customers,
and presented a card to F. w. For
roster, q teller. The card read,
Hold up your hands and give me
the money" He also pointed a
revolver at Forester, who handed
h eProbber all the money in his
cage, S1,706.
Another teller, w. A. Trentz,
sounded the vigilante alarm, con-
nected with nearby stores. Shop
owners seized weapons and fired a
volley of shots at the bandit as
he hurried from the bank toward
a motor car parked across the street.
The loot was recovered.

COTTON SCARS
OVER 81 BALE
Ginning Total of 14,269,3 13
Smaller Than Expected;
Usual Profit

NEW ORLEANS, March 20.@P-
Cotton scared over 50 a bale in
early trading under heavy short
covering and fresh speculative buy
ing induced by the bullish shok-
of the census bureaus ginnings re-
port.
Initial trades showed gains of q
to 27 points and prices continued
to advance until May sold up to
S20.52, July S20.60 and October
S20.38. or AZ to A points above yes
terday's close. The ginnings total
of 14,269 ,313 running bales was
somewhat smaller than traders
looked for. The advance attracted
the usual profit-taking and the
market eased off 10 to Is points
by the end of the first hour. The
undertone, however, continued very
firm.
The selling became 4.ore general
as the morning progressed, liquida-
ton by early buyers being augment
ed by selling by ring traders and
spectators to force a reaction. Re-
ports of beneficial rains in Texas
undoubtedly helped the decline
which carried May down to 20.26,
July 20.31 and October 20.15, or %
to SO points down from the early
highs but still Is to 19 points above
yesterdays close.
At noon the market was steady
and at the lows.

Of state highway building off prop

before a sympathetic audience of
members of the Texas and South
western Cattle Raisers' association,
many of whom own tens Of thou
sands of acres of land.
Governor Moody made but brief
reference to the proposed bond is

years through failure Of the last
legislature to submit it to the peo-
pie. He made no definite recon-
m%endations concerning the gasoline
tax, auto license fees or a gross re-
ceiptS tax on common carriers,
matters expected to come before the

ture.

Twentieth Army Corps, with head
quarters at Nancy, at the begin
ming Of the war in 1914, and Of all
the subordinates Of that other great
French soldier, Marshal Joffre, his
record was said to be the most con-
siStent.
In the first battle of the Marine,
Foch's army of 10000 men held
the line from La Fere ChampenoiSe
to Mondement. They were opposed
by 100000 Germans, including the
Prussian guard, the flower of the
German army. At time the press
ure was SO great it seemed the thin
French line must break. Aides
came up to Foch with reports that
the right and left wings had been
compelled to give ground.
In that case there Is nothing to
do bust to smash them in the cen
ter" calmly responded Foch, add
ing: "Order up t,~ Moors!"
Retired from active service in
April, 1917, at the age of Is years.
it was thought the fighting days of
Foch were over. He then became
one Of the most important advisors
Of the French government and vas
the French military member Of the
Supreme War Council at Versailles
when made commander-in chief.
After his victory in the first bat
tie Of the Marine, Foch was promot-
ed to be grand general in the Lee
gion of Honor. King George Of
England conferred upon him the
Order Of the Bath. He was made
marshal Of France in August, 1918.
