the City Cab drivers rented the cabs
from the company for $40 day. with
a l00-mile guarantee Last week, q
delegation of four drivers petitioned
the company for cut in this rate and
the rental since that time has been
$4.S0 for an S0-mile day. Distances ex-
ceeding the so miles under the new
schedule, Mr.. Ruppel explained, are
paid up by the drivers on the basis Of
6 cents a mile.
Ruppel declared a small group of the
drivers had asked for a still further cut
in the rate, but that it had been denied
them. He said further that since the
company is losing money on the pres
ent basis. no further cuts would be al
lowed. The losses suffered here during
the Summer months we're characterized
as normal in the face of the seasonal
falling off of business, and Ruppel de-
clared they would be offset by profits
by the company's operations in Balti-
more and Cleveland.
Ruppel's view of the strike rumor was
confirmed by Edward OStrow. manager
and part owner of the concern. Mr.
Ostrow told The Star he believed the
rumor of a strike was started by one
of the few "disgruntled' drivers in the
City Cab Co. itself or by one of its COM
petitors.

Butte, Mont.

Butte, Mont.
Fellow workers:
The railroad companies are cut
ting down the working forces con-
tinually, and are speeding up the
rest of the workers in all the
branches of operation. They are
singing out those workers who OPP
pose the unbearable conditions of
the naturalization method which
our A. F. of L. leadership is heart
lily in accord with. The working
conditions of not only the lower
paid railroader, is becoming worse
every day, but the higher-up and
better paid class of railroad work
ers are beginning to feel the reac-
ton of the speed-up system. There
are an alarming number of the
once better paid workers who are
out of employment and are roam
ing the country over looking for
that job which does not exist, and
are unable to get a meal from other
railroad workers as they themselves
are not making enough money to
support themselves.
How much longer are we going
to let the officialdom of the A. F.
of L. who collaborate with the cor
porations in their oppression, milk
us out of our hard earned cash
which we are paying for the pur-
pose of lettering our conditions,
and in fact is only serving to keep
US helplessly separated where we
are submissive to the master. Will
it be necessary that we must be
educated through our stomaches, or
are we intelligent enough to make
the change as broad-minded men?
Let us stand up like men and re-
organize into an organization of
the workers which will function for
the workers collectively-an indus
trial union, the National Railroad
Industrial League, which is fast
taking root all over the country
Let's ditch the old machine which
is out of date and obsolete. Let's
be progressive and show the reac-
tionaries that we are no longer
going to be betrayed by their col
laborating policy.

To the Editor of the Daily Worker;
Dear Comrade:-Last week l re
ceived by mail the Militant. So did
the most of the new members in
our unit. l am in the Party about
four months and never have seen
or read the Militant before.
The first thing that struck my
eye was the request to be reinstated
into the Party membership. Well,
maybe the Party should take it into
consideration, l thought for a mo-
ment.
But after reading through that
sheet carefully / came to the con-
clusion that the Communist Inter
national could not commit a graver
mistake than to agree to reinstate
these renegades.
What does the Militant, the or
gan of the Observation-Disclosures
tell the workers? Does it expose
the A. F. of L. and the Musteites ?
Does it analyze the crisis, telling
the workers what they are up
against, unemployment, wage-cuts
and speed-up? Does it try to or
ganize the workers to tighten their
ranks, to rally them in the fight
against the bosses, terror, impris-
onment and deportation?
Nothing of the kind. The whole
sheet is merely Islander sheet
against the Communist Interna-
tional, the American Section, try
ing not to help but minimizing the
struggles and achievements of the
working class against its enemies.
SANDER, sabotage, betrayal of the
working class, that, it seems to me,
is the sole purpose of this rotten
petty-bourgeois sheet.
And if the former secretary of
our unit, who supplied the addresses
of new members to the Militant,
meant to convert me and others, he
accomplished just the opposite eff
feet.
Never before would believe that
