I.R.T. Workers! Stop Layofts
Short Hours and Wage Cuts

Workers. When you have read
this, hand it to a motorman, con-
ductor or other subway or elevated

NEW YORK.-The. Group of IR.
T. Workers, with headquarters now

sued call to the subway and ele-
waited workers of the Interborough
Rapid Transit Co. as follows: "IR.T.
workers: Stop the lay-offs, short
hours and wage cuts!" The call
continues:
"ShOrt hours and Iay-Offs have al
ready started on top Of the $780,
600 wage slash! Every department
is ordered to cut down the payroll
an extra 20 per cent by Feb. 1st!
This means still lower wages, more
hardships and starvation! The bank
ers and the company are squeezing
the life blood out of us! Our wives
and children will suffer while the
millionaires demand more.
1--WE had nothing to say about the
$4,000 taken out of our pockets for
the Gibson Committee! Four of the
I.R.T. Board Of Directors are on the
Executive Of the Gibson Relief Com
mittee. That's why these bankers
were so generous with our money!
and now these same hyp0crites cut
still deeper into our wages and throw
men out of work!
"The reduction of the working
force will result in less safety! When
accidents happen will the company
take the responsibility? The tricky
company lawyers know how TO shift
the blame on us.

playing the dirty game of the Com

TN an old hostelry in Georgetown
known as the Union Hotel or
"Fuggitt's," the foundation for
i the Potomac Boat Club was
formed on July 6, 1869, by seven
men. At the time there were only
two other such clubs in Washing

organized in Washington after the
Civil War, and the Anacostia Boat
Club, organized on April 81, 1859,
but which had comparatively short
existence.
The formation of the Potomac
Boat Club, which had its first club
house in rough building erected
by members at the foot of Con-
gress street, now Thirty-flrst street,
in Georgetown, marked an epoch
in the history of aquatics in the
District, for 1t was destined to grow
and take a commanding position
among the East's boat clubs. The
club has had its ups and downs
and once-when the bicycle craze
was at its zenith in the 90s-its
membership dropped to very small
number. It again grew steadily,
however, and now the rolls of the
club show the largest membership in
its history. Today the club racks"
