A Chance to Get Up

THEY gave him a chair, he sat
l. down and they called it a tech
nical knockout. On the night OF
Sept. 81 at the PhillieS' ball park,
.4oughran will have a chance to
get up and continue where he left
of that night in 1929. And those
who have peered through the ropes
year after year at the colorful ex-
hibitions of ring skill staged by
the Old Phantom somehow hope he
can come back.
He will be facing a different
Sharkey. The fat that slows men
up has wrapped itself insidiously
about the middle of the Loquacious
Lithuanian. and drags at the legs
that once were so vArantly supple.
The Old Sailor is a man worse for

Revenge for Tommy?

TOUR years ago your old Phila-
l. delphia P h ant o m, T o m m y
Loughran, was matched for Is
rounds with Jack Sharkey at Mad
ison Square Garden. The bout was
brief. In the third round, the Bos-
ton sailor brought one up from the
floor and 1t detonated against
Tommy's chin.
Loughran reeled. His knees
buckled and he almost went down.
Lurching toward a corner he seized
the ropes. Out Of the haze the
punch had spread across his brain
came one desire. Sharkey paused
and gaped at the man in amaze
ment as the Old Phantom uttered
one of Fistiana's classic remarks:
Give me a chair. want to sit
down."

Taxi Drivers Strike

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec. ii.
After the unions threatened gen.
eral tie up in the transportation in
dustry here unless the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Co. rellired the strik-
ing taxicab drivers as ordered by the
National Labor Board, the company
announced today that it had hired
new drivers during the strike on a
permanent basis" and would only
take back the strikers "as fast as
circumstances permit" The strike of
the taxi drivers was called for wage
increases, but this has already been
defeated through the decision Of the
N. r. A., ordering the men back to
work.
Officials of the truckmens and
chauffeurs' unions met last night and
agreed to call a general strike unless
the National Labor Boards decision
that all strikers be given their jobs
was carried out by the company. The
officials have not yet reported what
they will Go, now that the company
openly declares that it will discri-
inmate against the strikers and will
not reenploy all Of them.

CONFERENCE AGAINST HIGH COST OF

Arms, the brass factories, etc. This
could be put forward in the city coun-
Gil and the state legislature. He re-
piled that because of limitations in
the city charter, everybody will have
to be taxed In all questions he re-
fused to take any stand for the mob
ilization Of the workers to force de-
mands from the employers and their
government.
McLevy's main interest now is not
in the unemployed, but is in an ECO
nomy" program to wipe out the city
deficit. He has appointed republican
and democratic politicians to Office,
and for these acts has caused dis
satisfaction within the ranks of the
Socialist Party. McLevy, who allowed
resolution to be read to the city
council against lynching and for the
Scottsboro boys made no comment in
the council, after this resolution was
read. Questioned about this resolu-
ton of the LID. In the interview
with the Daily Worker, McLevy stated
that st was referred to the miscel-
laneous committee. The demands
of the unemployment council have
been put on the files of the city coun-
Gil miscellaneous committee and thus
killed without action. These demands
McLevy stated he will not support or
fight for.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-12-22

/ main features of this bill were then
stated to McLevy--the securing OF
funds by tax on the corpor. ations
and high incomes and the giving OF
q minimum income to all unemployed
and McLevy was asked to make a
statement for or against.
His Stand on Insurance
II don't believe it matters what
kind of employment insurance bill
is passed, McLevy answered. THE
main thing is to get any kind of a
bill through the legislature, no matter
what kind, and then later to get the
bill changed. The main thing is to
establish the principle, no matter
how limited the provisions, and
change the bill later. McLevy, there
fore, Endorses the same kind of Gin
surance" as Mrs. Perkins by refusing
to specify that all jobIess are to benefit
and that the funds come from the
rich.
McLevy contradicted even this abb
stract statement for unemployment
insurance by repeating time and
again throughout the interview, "The
workers want jobs, not relief; they
want to work, not the dole, relief is
bad for their morale, in almost the
exact words of Roosevelt's speech
launching the C.W.A. His insstence
on Jobs not relief is a cover for his

The following quotation was then

Food Union Issues
United Front Call
Against NRA Code

NEW YORK.--A call to all cater
ing workers. to workers in hotels, res
taurant and cafeterias to take action
on the starvation conditions imposed
by the N. r. A. hotel code already
adopted and the pending code for res
taurants has been issued by the Food
Workers Industrial Union, which is
calling a mass meeting at Palm Gar
den, 306 w. SIND ST., N. Y, for Jan.
3, to plan the steps in the fight.
The call points out that the hotel
code, which was adopted in Novem-
Der, provides for SIS minimum
weekly wage with reduction for meals
and lodgings and with work by the
hour and day instead of the week
The restaurant code has even worse
provisions, introducing the split shift
in cafeterias, where it has never be-
fore been practiced. Both codes are
a direct attack on the workers con-
ditions. meaning wage cuts and the
lntensiftcation of the stagger plan
The general strike, which is fast
becoming general demand of the
workers in the industry, can and
must be a scuccess, the union points
out, if all unions unite in common
struggle against the starvation con-
ditions imposed by the codes. The
union proposes a signature petition
to be circulated by all unions jointly
throughout the country protesting
against the codes and for mass dele
cations of workers from all local
unions elected at mass meetings to
go to Washington with these petit
tons and place demands before the
N. r. A.
The union further proposes that
the unions in the industry jointly
call mass meeting of all workers in
