Liberal" Filene
Cuts Wages of Store Girls
Boston, Mass.

Boston, Mass.
Daily Worker:
With the approach of winter
comes the news from one Of
Boston's lead ns department
stores, William Filene & Co., of
layoffs and wage cuts. MIR. FiIene
has the reputation Of being lib
eral and one of the "Golden Rule"
employers of labor. Within the
past few days, since Boston's
Tercentenary Parade, which was
an occasion for imperialism in this
section to display it's miitaristic
wares and in which Mr.. Fiene
was represented with his wage
slaves paradins, these slaves had
hardly finished cheering when
they were confronted with the
notices Of a Iayoff and wage
cut.
A woman worker in Filene's
bank, who had been employed
there for a period of thirteen
years and who was receiving
thirty-five dollars a week, was
notified by her superior that the
bank was being dissolved. The
bank was organized some years
ago for the employees to deposit
their spare wages. With the pres
ent conditions there are no saw
'ings; hence the bank is going out
of business. This woman worker,
with five others in that depart
ment, were told they could remain
with the company If they wished
to work for twelve dollars
week, which was going to be the
wages Of the sales girls who
were to be cut from twenty dol
lars a week to ten and twelve
dollars week.
In one OF Boston's leading
morning papers an item appeared
to the effect that woman work.

Whalen Takes 100000
Bride in Huge Taxi Steal

A brief description of the rnachin-
cry of Tammany Hall will make for
better understanding of future ar
ticles in this series as we'll as provide
backstage glimpse of capitalist gov
eminent in general.
Tammany is nominally governed by
1S sachems, a grand sachem and a
secretary. Actually it is governed
by sachem who is also chairman
of the democratic county committee.
Superimposed on all these officials
are eX-amoassador Gerard's $50 who
rule America" Tammany Hall would
no more refuse to grant a demand
of the "59" than a Tammany cop
would blackjack ]. P. Morgan for
blocking traffic.
Tammany gets control of the city
in the following manner: There are
$4,000 city employees. Each is ex-
pected to vote-at least once. Each
city employee is also required to get
his entire family and the friends of
the family, to vote the straight ticket.
Failure to do so brings prompt pun
ishment from the Hail. Ward heel
ers" in each district round up the
votes in various ways. BY visiting
speakeasies, eorralling gangsters and
pushing doorbells"
These ward heelers are responsible
to captains, who in turn, report to
district leaders. District leaders
(there are SO districts in alb, are
subordinate to borough leaders, and
the entire hierarchy is ruled by the
chief" The chief today is John F.
Curry.
Raskob to Get Cab Franchise
The chief is the connecting link
between the ruling SO" and the
Halls servants-judges, officials, al
dermen, police, gangsters, and the
mayor and governor, when Tammany
Is in power, as it usually is. An
example of how the "59s" mandates
are carried out by Tammany is pro-
vided by a news item in yesterdays
newspapers.
Several months ago Mayor Walker
appointed a committee to 'investi-
gate" the taxicab Situation" The
Daily Worker knew at the time why
the commission was appointed and
what their recommendations would
be. 1t knew that the ground was being
prepared to hand over the entire taxi
cab industry to the General Motors
Co. and John Raskob, one of the 49,"
The minimum profit that would be
made by General Motors would reach
$75,OOO,O00, at a conservative esti-
