RETALIATION Of
TRACTION
SEEN

Retaliation Of the Capital
| Traction and Washington Rail-
way and Electric Companies,
as well as the Washington
Rapid Transit Company, ap-
pears as a certainty, People 3
Counsel Ralph B. Fleharty, in
dicated today.
So far In the hearing on the appli-
cation of the Capital Traction Conn
pany for an increase in fare to 10
cents cash and four tokens for 80
cents the Public Utilities Commits
sion has been endeavoring to develop
the fact that too high a valuation
had been fixed by the company.
Earnings Greater
The line of questioning by the
commission has tended to show that
the traction company has earned
greater return. on funds available
for such purpose than the figures
offered at the hearing.
Every item of expenditure. charged
to operating expenses, has been dis
sected by the commission and reason
A0AH HACn uEutaUuE0 Ok
John H. Hanna, traction president,
who has been on the stand for
several days.
If the theory now held by the
commission is substantiated the
money available for return will be
in excess of the sum stated by the
company.
Valuation to Jump
The valuation however will jump,
as many items some of them in
excess of $4,000, will have to be
added to the valuation figure. In
| the end the commission win be no
| better off in proving the operating
expenses are lower as any money
| deducted will have to be added to
the company valuation.
Taking the present valuation
| fixed by the courts, which liz ap-
| proximately $26, 6,OOo, 900. and add.
| ing the items taken from operating
expenses the company will prob
| ably be able to show a much higher
! figure. The present rate of return,
S.6S per cent. viii be appreciably
lower.
| Fleharty still insists that outside
| aid is needed TO make a complete
| survey OF the companies involved
in the hearing. He expresses the
belief that reyaluation will show
much different figure than that on
which the companies are basing
their claim for a higher fare.
| Irrespective of what might be
developed as the result of the pres
ent hearing, the companies will not
come within 3 per cent of the
per cent return, considered a fair
one, Fleharty believes, il such re.
turn is based on the present valu.
| alton.
The commission has remained
mute on what action it will take
in regard to the request of the
peoples counsel for assistance. It
is believed that any expert aid
given the peoples counsel will
come from the personnel OF the
commission and not from outside.

LONGEST U. S.
RAIL Tunnel
READY TO OPEN
Traffic Through Bore Three
Years After Work Starts,
Setting Speed Record.
Nv science service

SEATTLE, Jan. 11.-Americas
longest railroad tunnel, eight miles
from end to end, and only exceeded
in length by four tunnels in the
Alps, will open to traffic Saturday,
three years after work was begun,
thus setting new speed record for
such construction.
The new tunnel is on the line of
the Great Northern railway, In the
Cascade range, about a hundred
miles east of here, and was built at
a cost of $14,000,000. At the same
time, the railroads entire line
through the Cascade range, rs miles
in length, will commence electrical
operation.
Until now the longest tunnel in
America has been the Moffatt
tunnel, in Colorado, Gil miles long,
which was opened last February.
The Cascade tunnel is exceeded in
length by the Simplon, st. Gothard,
Loetschberg and Mt. Gems tunels in
the Alps, in Switzerland, France and
Italy.
Use Electric Engines
| The electric locomotives that will
operate through the tunnel and the
Cascade line are the largest and
most powerful of their type. They
are unique in that they will utilize
the advantages of both alternating
and direct current The overhead
trolley wires carry 1900 volts of al
ternating current. The locomotive
picks this up, and a travelling sub
station, within the cab of the
locomotive itself, changes it to low
voltage, direct current, for operating
the driving motors.
When on down grades, where
braking is necessary. the motors act
as generators, and feed current back
into the trolley lines, providing
about a third of the total power
needed to move them on the upgrade
and SO helping pull trains up other
sections of the road.
Replaces Old Tunnel
The new tunnel replaces one
by drilling from number of diff
about two and two-thirds miles
long, at higher elevation, COM
pleted in 1900. It was neceSsitated
by the heavy SHOWS that previously
hanpered operation at certain times
of the year. There is snow almost
every month in these mountains,
and sometimes the fall is as fast as
foot an hour. Delay from this
cause will be eliminated now, while
the normal operation of the trains
will be speeded an hour for pas
sengers, and three hours for freight.
Completion of such long tunnel
in SO short time was accomplished
ferent points. BY the older engineer
ing methods, boring was commenced
from each end and finally met in
the middle. At one time 1,793 men
were working on the tunnel at diff
ferent points.
The tunnel is lined with massive
concrete walls, in which $4,000
cubic yards Of concrete were used,
while 875,0O0 cubic yards Of rock
were removed.

representing 100000 mill workers,
from five states, North and South
Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and
Virginia, to attend the conference in
Charlotte. There were 237 delegates
at the Bessemer City Conference.
Oehler commented on the speech
of Charles Towson at the conference
of mill owners at Blue Ridge on
August 3, in which Towson said;
"a distinction should be made be-
tween the destructive America-de-
stroying, God-denying Communists
and the hundred per cent American,
constructive and increasingly Coop
erative American Federation Of La
bor."
Oehler said that Towson's advice
TO mill owners to let the U. T. w.
of the A. F. of L. organize their
workers shows that the U. T. w.
works for the owners and not for
the workers, whose interests, ac-
cording to the N. T. w, are opposed.
at. A. Wilson stated a few days
ago." said Oehler that our activi-
ties in Gastonia has given the mill
owners a chance to see the differ
ence between the U. T. W. and the
N. T. w. I agree with Wilson.
Also, the betrayal of the workers at
Elizabethton has given the workers
chance to see the difference be-
tween the two organizations. The
bosses will choose the U. T. w. and
the workers will choose the N. T.
W., which is the only union that
will fight for their interests"
Show Strike Film.
The Workers International Relief
showed the Passaic textile strike
film Sunday, at the tent colony, Gas
tonia. Workers came from all
around. The Priscilla, Rex and
other mill workers arrived in truck
which they had spent all afternoon
repairing, having secured the loan
of it in return for fixing it up.
The Loray workers spent the day
cutting grass and arranging the
ground back of one of the houses,
preparing for the crowd. A plat
form was built for speakers. The
picture itself was projected against
the side Of the house, and current
borrowed from another house was
used in the machine.

States.
The committee of five have been
officially authorized by the state of
Michigan, most Of the dead having
been natives Of that state. All five
are members of the lingo Veterans
of Foreign Wars.
Just what is the attitude of the
Soviet government towards this mis-
sion is not known. That it comedies
with the period when a new drive
has been started by the imperialist
powers against the only workers
and peasants republic is probably
no accident. The homecoming of the
dead soldiers will probably serve as
an occasion for reviving stories of
RED atrocities" to whip up war
sentiment against the Soviet Union.
After lying forgotten for ten
years, the American government
suddenly" shows a desire to recover
the bodies Of the men it wantonly
slaughtered during it's first drive, in
conjunction with its imperialist al
lies, against the Soviet Union. This
drive failed, thanks to the heroic
efforts of the Red Army, the sacri-
flee and devotion of the Soviet
masses and to the fact that large
numbers of the imperialist soldiers
refused to fight against their Rus
sian fellow workers. Many soldiers
deserted the American forces and
joined the Red Army. Some of these
former American soldiers are now
aiding in the reconstruction work in
the Soviet Union.

went over to the Bolshevik forces in
Siberia is now one of the defend

file, the policies for which we have
been agitating all these years
must be put into effect. The or
ganization work of the Industrial
Union will not and cannot be car
ried on by professional gangsters.
Workers VS.. Gangsters.
1t is only you, the workers in the
shops; you who have been in the
forefront of the struggle against
the company union; you who have
helped to make the general strike
in our trade a success; it is you
who must be the ones to carry
through the present organization
drive and strengthen union control
of the industry.
In line with The decision of the
membership meeting the Joint
Board has organized the machin-
cry for the coming drive. Many
active workers have already joined
the Organization Committee.
Many are on the job gathering
information and establishing con-
tact with workers in the open
shops, so as to have them respond
to the call of the Union.
The coming organization drive
is a drive to improve the condi-
tons in your shop. The coming
organization drive will help you
to fight and secure better prices
for garments in your shop. The
coming organization drive will
prove to the bosses and the COM
pany union that there is Union
in the industry that is ready and
able to fight for the interests of
the workers.
Join Organization Committee.
Have you joined the Organiza-
ton Committee already? If not,
come down to the office of the
Union Immediately and give in
your name as one of those who
will be ready to go out and call
the workers of the open shops to
rally to the ranks of the Union.
Investigate the open shops that
are located in your building. Talk
to the workers of the open shops.
Explain to them the Importance of
being organized. Show them that
fighting as individuals the bosses
will always get the best Of them.
Call them. Awaken them to ac-
ton. The success of our work, the
success of our Union, depends on
your active cooperation.
Dressmakers! You have demon
strated in the past that you are
ready to answer the call of the
Union. You have demonstrated
that regardless of the sacrifices,
you are ready to fight side by side
with your fellow workers for the
building of strong and powerful
Union. Now the Union once more
calls to you to action. Do Your
share in the coming organization
drive.

certain condition of Jacobs, the hear
ing was postponed until tomorrow.
The gangsters gave their current
names as "Abe Carvich" and "Sal-
vatore Spinalle."
Bitter indignation still reigns high
in the needle trades market, and
the murderous attack on Jacobs has
formed almost the sole topic of con-
versation since Friday. "Shall MUIR
derous gangsterism continue to ter
rorize the rank and file Of the cloak
makers ?" This is the question which
is agitating the workers.
Meeting Tomorrow.
This will be among the principal
questions to be discussed at meet
ing of active members Of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union to
be held tomorrow night in Webster
Hall, 18th st. and Third Ave. The
attack on Jacobs, the Industrial
Union has pointed out, is not an iso-
lated incident, but part of a consis-
tent program on the part of the COM
pany union, whose gangsterism gives
the lie to the claim that it controls
the majority of the workers.
Another high point on the agenda
at the meeting will be the forthcom-
ing organization drive among the
dressmakers.
In the preparations for the organi-
cation drive among the thousands of
dressmakers, the Joint Board of the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union has distributed thousands of
copies of a call in the garment dis
trict.
Pointing out that the organization
drive is matter of deep concern not
only to the workers in the open
shops, but to the workers in the
union shops as well, the call says:
Sisters and Brothers:
In few days the organization
drive in the dress trade will begin.
In a few days the workers of the
open shops will be called upon to
leave their shops and come down
to fight for the establishment of
union conditions and for decent
living standards.
The coming organization drive in
the dress trade is matter of deep
concern not only to the workers of
the open shops, but to the workers
in the union shops as well. You,
dress makers, know how difficult
it is to maintain conditions in the
union shops when there are hun
dreds Of open shops where workers
are compelled to work at any price
offered by the bosses.
During the general strike in the
dress trade the Union had sue
ceeded in organizing close to 400
shops, thus raising the general
standards in the trade. The ac-
complishments of the general
strike gave the Union solid base
in the dress trade. If we want to
maintain this base and strengthen
it, this can be done only through
organization work.
Dressmakers!
For years you have carried on
a struggle against the use of pro-
fessional gangsters for organiza-
ton work. For years we have in
sisted that only a rank and file
organization committee of h e
members of the Union can make
the proper approach to the work
ers of the open shops and convince
them Of the necessity Of joining
the ranks of the Union.
Now, comrades, when after two
and half years of struggle
against the company union we
have organized the Industrial
Union controlled by the rank and
