MOSLEY AND COOK OF BRITISH LABOR
PARTY DRAW VICIOUS FASCIST PLAN
Daily Herald, Organ of Macdonald Approves
AS Do the Conservatives; Want to
Save Dying Capitalism

a call for a dictatorship of the bosses
to "plan economy" prepare for wal
and lead the struggle for world
markets. The main point in his
plan is the creation of Board of
Five to run the country, cut wages
modernize industry and attempt tc
pull dying British capitalism out Of
the severe crisis.
Mosley, like Mussolini. thinks
parliament is through. For ten
years the parliament of the coun.
try has refused to face the facts, .
he says in his statement proposing
fascist control of Great Britain
I'VE must now find a way of com
pressing into a short period the re-
adjustments we failed to carry out
in the last decade"
Mosley's appeal is made to the
youth, much in the fashion of Hit
Ter, the German fascist. The Mos
ley gang, likewise, are now mob
ilizing their fascist shock troops
among the young, especially the
bourgeoisie and the elements in the
labor party, who, through the Mac
Donald governments policy, were
prepared for fascism.
The most significant feature OF
the plan is the enthusiasm with
which it is received by all the CAPT
talist parasites in Great Britain, in
Guiding the labor party. While
Macdonald hasn't said word about
it, and may pan it for appearances
sake, the official organ of the labor
party, the Daily Herald" greets
the fascist proclamation with gusto.
1t says:
70 eXaggerate or minimize Sir
Oswald Mosley's manifesto would
be naictake. Right or wrong, it
is a sincere effort to formulate a
policy to meet The present emer-
gency and should be judged on its
merits. His plan for import
boards in connection with food
stuffs and raw materials is thor
Oughly in line with the labor pol
ley. The labor party is ready
TO give fair hearing to the new
proposals. :"
From the conservative side, there
is no fundamental disagreement
with the plan, but the conservative
Dolly Telegraph quib5les over who
should be the dictator under the
plan.
at is magnificent and breath
snatcning, but it will not do. Would
not the biggest man Of the five, pre-
sumably Sir Oswald himself, be a
dictator, or on the high
road to become one? The national
we DO not deny, but we
are not yet persuaded etc.
Other conservative papers go on
along the same line. They like the
plan, but they would like the die
tator TO be a conservative, and they
need a little more "persuading,"
The labor government is well on
The highroad to fascism.

"There are between 500 and coo
jobs as taxi drivers open at the
City Free Employment Agency, 81
Lafayette St, New York.
"A few days ago there were 1000
About 400 were snapped up imme-
distely. The others soon will be.
"The Evening Journal made az
fangements to offer these places to
qualified men, with the cooperation
Of the agency, the taxi companies
and the police.
Edward c. Rybcki, able director
Of the agency, calls it about the
biggest single measure of relief
thus far.
MANY white collar men who
have had their own cars in the past,
but have nothing now, are among
those who have taken advantage of
the Journal offer"
Now, what are the facts? There
are ~ taxi drivers now on part
time three or four days week. Of
the 10000 cabs on the streets, 5000
are owned by individuals and 1900
by fleet owners who employ about
6I,009 men.
Extras are being put on all the
time. If you're late several min
utos you find an extra in your place.
Wages? For a 10 to 12-hour
day and G5:70-hour week we aver
are $i8 to $40, including tips. The
crisis has hit the taxi business, too.
nan1 who formerly rode to work
now take the subway.
The General Motors is putting
more and more cabs on the streets
daily. The mayors committee,
which made report that it would
grant franchise to the most re-
9ponsib'e company, meaning the
General Motors, caused a big howl
to go up. The Tammany politicians
make a pretcnse at fighting the
Granting of a franchise to General
Motors, but behind the scenes are
helping Morgan's outfit to get it
and get a taxi monopoly in New
York.
Which means worsening of condi-
tons for the drivers who have no
strength outside of their organized
power pndor militant leadership.

N0J "a 'NANSA OOAASSHOAbAOhV
NEW YORK.-The Knickerbocker
Ice Co. sent its workers staggering
la Hoover.
Early in November the engine
room departments were told that
they would have to go on the five
days-a-week basis with five days
pay. The employees took same with
the idea that it would keep more of
them at work for the coming win
ter.
Last week, to the writer's knowl-
edge, two of these plants went stag
gering at 1873 Cherry st. and 229
f. 38th st. The chief engineer and
one other junior in each place put
on twelve-hour shifts and seven days
a week with five days pay for the
juniors. How many of their plants
go on this basis the writer cannot
say, but expects all plants do the
same.
A meeting is called for at C and
Lafayette SITS, Brooklyn. tomorrow
night dec. 81 at which the drivers
and helpers may go staggering in
the form of notice regarding their
hours and wages.
This is the company that laid off
Henry Hennings at their 18th Ave
and 37th st. Plant in Brooklyn this
spring after he worked 80 years for
the same and who two weeks after
committed suicide, knowing that to
live meant slow starvation instead
of pension after many years of
hard work and long hours.

Mrs. William L. Kinsell Is Aboard Yukon on Way
 to Anchorage

Mrs. William L. Kinsell, young and comely bride, is on honey moon journey all by herself. She hasn't seen her husband since long before their marriage. At the time of their wedding they were thou sands of miles apart. But just as soon as a duly ordained clergyman said she was a lawful wife, she hastened from the home of her parents in Minnesota to take up residence with her spouse in Alaska. She is a passenger on the steam ship Yukon, which called at Ju- neau yesterday enroute from Se- attle to the Westward. She is the Ncrthlands first telegraph bride.
 A week ago last Thursday Miss Vivian Brown, with the Rev. L. J. Beynon, stood beside a telegraph instrument in Minneapolis and MT. Kinsell, employe of the Alaska Railroad, stood beside a key and !ounder in the cable office at An chorage. By over land and under sea. she promised to honor and obey: he vowed to love and cher ish. and then the clergyman pro- nounced them man and wife. It was merely a new way of telling an old, old story
 While the Yukon was in port, Mrs. Kinsell was the guest of Mrs. John Rustgard.

This would give the workingmen three days vacation Saturdays, Sundays and the greater leisure for workers would result in more money spending and enable indus tries to continue without reducing wages.

lucky, Montana, Missouri, Nevada Ohio and South Dakota, neither party has mentioned Prohibition by name in it's state platform, although there is much mention of law en- forcement.
 Thus it appears that in small handful of states, Prohibition is an issue only because each party is trying to outdo the other in wet ness. In the south and some other sections it is an issue only because each party claims to be dryer than it's antagonist
 In still another group both sides have omitted it's mention by name. And finally, there is a, class of state declarations, sometimes by one party and sometimes by the other, so complicated in language and so circuitous in construction that their meaning is in dispute even among fellow-Democrats and fellow-Re- publicans
 Tn several states, too, both Re- publicans and Democrats are run ming for office as vets, and other Republicans and Democrats as drys. Ohio Democrats present a dry for Governor and an advocate of re- peal for Senator. In Montana a dry Democrat runs for Senator against a Republican who is attacking pro- hibition.
 Majority Ask Repeal
 Out of all of this one or two facts stand out clearly, with what ever significance as regards the ap- preaching presidential campaign of 1882
 For one thing, the platforms op- posing prohibition are almost unan- imous in emitting reference to mere but demand outright repeal and the substitution of some other form of control.
 And. almost without exception, those who advocate repeal also op- pose the return of the saloon.
 Whichever one of the several ve- rieties of substitutes is proposed, US sponsors uniformly make formal declaration that the old brass rail and polished mahogany have passed from the ken of legality forever.
