WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. (U.H -
Weapons of war were turned to
the pursuits of peace today as the
army air service was mobilized to
carry the country's airnail.
kilograms of protest arrived at
the White House from air mail
operators whose mail carrying con-
tracts were abruptly cancelled by
President Roosevelt's orders. Hints
of a fight to the finish" came
TO the capital from headquarters
of several air lines.
The 1900 planes of the nations
fighting force were detailed to take
over the mail service on Feb. 10,

mel to maintain the necessary SER
vice.
Abrogation of contracts with pri-
vate carriers was based on sus-
picion of fraud during the Hoover
administration when the contracts
were negotiated. The President,
Postmaster General Farley and
Attorney General Cummings de-
cided on cancellation after review
ing evidence of senate investi-
eating committee.
The administration action led to
the belief that the carrying OF
the airmail was doomed as pri-
vate industry and that it would be
converted into a government SER
vice. This prompted quick inquir-
les from leaders of the vast aero
nautical business. The White House
was unprepared to answer them at
once. The aviation men indicated
they intended to wage protective
fight for their field.
The air corps stood ready to
throw all its resources in men and
machines into the emergency task
of carrying the mail. One of the

Worried physicians looked on anx-

his crib at the children'S hospital.
Ordinarily the medical profession

Because of his tender age, ply

SUPPORT the Taxi Strike!

THE general strike of the New York taxi
L cab drivers, called in support of the
heroic struggle of the Parmelee strikers is
dealing heavy blows at the growing menace
of company unionlsm. Starting over
week ago, when the Parmelee men walked out to
smash the so-called Drivers Brotherhood and COM
pei recognition of the Taxi Drivers Union Of Greater
New York, the strike has now spread to every big
cab fleet in the city. The strikers are demanding
recognition Of the union and abolition of the black
list
Lined up against the hackmen along with the
fleet owners are the forces of the N R. A. in the
person of Mrs. Gilmore Herrick, chairman of the
Regional Labor Board Mayor La Guardia company
union officials the police and the whole capitalist
press of New York.
All of these forces trying to defeat the strike.
The fleet owners are supporting the company union
and are attempting to undermine the morale of the
strikers by issuing lying statements that the union
is controlled by racketeers. Mrs. Herrick is at
tempting to get the men to return to work and then
vote on the union company premises under the
eye and direction of company officials The Mayor
says that the strike is very unfortunate" The
police are beating and slugging the strikers and
pickets and the capitalist press is acting the
mouthpiece of all these strike breaking elements.
But the drivers, through their miltancy, through
mass plckeJlng ana heroic QeIenSe struggle against
the police and thugs and all agents of the fleet
owners, are forging their way to victory. This strug
gle against company unionism and for recognition
of their own union, is serving a wedge with
which the drivers open up successful fight for
higher wages and better conditions in the industry.
The drivers understand that without their fighting
union rooted in the garages it will be impossible
for them to win better conditions.
Realizing that this struggle of the taxi drivers
is the interest of all workers, large section of
organized labor in New York has already given its
active support to the strike More support must be
forthcoming. Workers in all industries must give
active assistance on the picket lines. Women work
ers and wives of the strikers must join the in
the fight All trade union locals and shop groups
nst assist in the collection of relief for the strik-
srs.
Workers of New York, do not allow big fleet
tazicab to roll the streets until the operators
have agreed to recognize the Taxi Drivers Union of
Greater New York. Join with the taxi strikers in
determined effort to unionze the New York taxi
Industry.

As Party Convention Nears

Omaha has sent in 101 new daily

The table below shows the

their time length.
At the end Of the campaign the
subs will be tabulated according
to their time length, and the dis
trict which shows the largest net
gain in yearly subs in proportion
to its quota will win the National

Many of Inc new subs coming in
are monthly trial subs. AS they
are renewed, however, by the new

credited with these renewals. The
districts which obtain the largest
possible number of new subs in

the best chance to show the largest

The strike of the Consolidated

The Havana dock workers, whose
strike was supported by more than
10000 Havana workers, voted to re-
sumo work last week after Secre-
tary of Labor Penate had granted
most of their demands. When they
came to the Ward Line docks, how
ever, a marine lieutenant gave the
order to the troops on guard to fire.
A detachment of police joined in
the firing, and within a few min
utes, two workers, one a Negro, were
dead, and dozen seriously
wounded
On the day of the funeral, many
thousands of Havana workers
stopped work in protest against the
massacre.
All unions headquarters of the
