NEWCASTLE, Sept. 15.-Newcas-
tie city officials have been baked in
their efforts to enlarge the mu-
nicipal electric plant at a cost OF
$4,000.
Injunction is sought in suit
filed by Charles B. Thompson, who
alleges that contract for the addi-
ton never has been approved by
the city council.
Failure to file a copy of the con-
tract with the complaint is &C
counted for in an allegation that
defendants, who are city officials,
including Mayor Sidney z. Baker.
"have wilfully and deliberately con-
ceIaed, secreted and refuse to file
a copy with the city clerk and re-
fuse to permit an inspection"

Further Breach Seen

PARIS, Sept. 15.-Poland's de-

the question of protecting minorities
within her borders was regarded to-
day as likely to have profound eff

Europe.
While French official circles pro-
fessed to view the matter purely an
issue between Poland and the

breach between France and her

Coney Island
Strikers Hit

A. F. of L. Leaders
Force Members 10
Scab on Strike

THE misleaders of the American
Federation of Labor, Local 325,
had signed to Sell-out the strike
of Nathan'S Famous, Inc, now on
its third week, and are forcing their
members to scab against their will.
The strikers are naturally indig-
nant and are using every means to
smash this sell-out by exposing the
A. F. of L. grafters to the rank and
file members.
The strike was hardly in its second
week when Mr.. Nathan, through his
political pull, obtained an injunc-
ticn prohibiting the strikers from
picketing. The New York Trade
Union Anti-Injunction Committee,
on its last regional conference in
Coney Island, had passed resolu-
tions to the effect of smashing the
Nathan'S injunction. In the mean
time the Committee had modified
various organizations to picket the
place on their own behalf, in order
to test the force of the Injunction,
lie, whether it applies to all organ
izations or only to those incorpo-
rated in the injunction Several
arrests have been made in the last
few days on the charge Of Disc
derry conduct.
The injunction case came up for
hearing last Tuesday, but deci-
sion was reserved. The strikers are
impatient. They are determined to
smash the injunction, and win their
demands for the recognition of the
union of their own choosing

THE Nobel Prize for exploitation of
Negro and white workers goes to
the employers of the laundry in
dustry in the city of New York, in
the three branches Of the industry:
Wholesale seam; 2.-Wet wash;
3.-Linen coat and apron supply.
There are about $4,000 laundry
workers, not counting the workers
in hotel laundries and city institu-
lions and large chain stores having
their own laundries. About 65 or
70 per cent are Negro workers, the
rest Spanish, Jewish, etc The men
workers in the wash kitchen, where
90 per cent are Negro workers and
the hardest and filthiest work is
done-80 to 90 hours per week is
nothing unusual. The workers are
paid in most cases, by the day, from
50 to So per day and discrimina-
tons because they are Negro work
ers are plenty, such as asking you
to come in to work; spend carfare
and time and then send you home.
The foreman calling you black
bastard, or worse, is often COM
mon practice. If you want to verify
the hours, ask any kitchen workers,
working for the Port Morris Laun-
dry, the Pearl White or the Spick
and Span.

The determination to win better
conditions for the hackmen Of New
York City by building united,
rank and file controlled, militant
union, free from grafters and
strikebreaking bureaucrats, breathes
through every page of this first
issue of the Union Haclie, official
organ of the Taxi Cab Drivers
Union of Greater New York.
After the recent general strike,
the taxi drivers were beset by two
major problems the attempts of such
open racketeers as Rubin, Weiner
and Maurer in alliance with Social
list Party leaders to affiliate with
the A. F.. of L. over tn heads OF
the cabmen, and the renewed drive
from the company union.

Local of the Teamsters Interna-
ltional of the A. F.. of L., but they
were naive. They did not know that
the business agent of Local 80, the
notorious Mr.. Samuel Rozenzweig,
had silent contract with the
bosses, not to call any strikes for
conditions.
The employers realized that
Rozenzweig cannot deliver the goods
any longer. They sent him to prison
for exhorting money.
What Next?
Now comes the question, what
next? The laundry workers are
cursed because there are five diff
ferent local unions, therefore the
only solution is the unity of all the
workers, against the sabotage of the
reactionary officials. Such a move
ment is in the making.
On April 18th, at Irving Plaza, a
Unity Conference was held, called
on the initiative of the Laundry
Workers Industrial Union. Up to
now, the following organizations
have Joined the unity move: L.W
I.U.; Local $50 of the A. F. of L.;
the Amalgamated, an independent
small union and many shops which
belong to Local $40 and Local 1876.
What is our Union doing in the
to get better conditions
for the workers? We will try to dis
cuss them next week.

1t viii be remembered that this
same Wallinsky, who came back to
the union accompanied by a5outs of
joy from the Socialist Party lc7ders
OF the union, was booted cut Ct the
organization eight years ago when
1t was discovered that he held two
jobs; one with the union as t1ri-
ness manager and the o5her with
the Morris White Shop where he
was giving advice on how to break
strikes.
The rank and file of the union
have recently had a taste of Mr..
Walnsky's method Of helping the
working man." On May group
OF thugs who were supporting the
campaign to reinstate him in the

can only lead to the splitting of the
union. with the consequence that
the csbbies are left to the mercy of
the fleet owners and the company
unions.
Revelation of a plot to bride
Orner; of the sell-out activities of
O'Brien and Cohen of the A. F. of
L.; of the efforts of Smith, Gold
stein, Maurer, Weiner and Paley to
raise a red scare in order to cloak
their selfish aims in jacking-u up
dues, all throw much more light on
the A. F. of L. and its Socialist
adherents.
Interesting and important is the
decision of the TaXicab Drivers
Union to limit salaries of its Off
Gals to the average haclman's
wage and to set dues at fifty cents
per month. What contrast to the
policies of the now discredited Sam
Smith who under SocialEt in
fluence, appointed himself leader
