these organizations represent ap-
proximately $500 organized workers.
The program adopted calls for the
organizations participating to give
to each other moral, physical and
financial assistance on a voluntary
basis in all struggles for higher
wages, shorter hours and for union
recognition. Also that the council

were clearly brought out by all the
speakers.
The conference has shown the
beginning of a break of the more
backward workers, dressers, from
the International machine. The
dressers are in fact the last position
that the racketeers of the Interna-
tional have in the fur industry. For
years, the dyers and dreSsers have
been shamelessly mulcted of hun
dredS Of thousands of dollars for
the upkeep of the various gangs on
which the rule of the Lucchis, Moe
Harrises and Jack Shulmans rested.
Under the pretext of organizing
shop Or two, workers were assessed
with heavy taxes. Now this ma
chine, formerly so entrenched, is
being driven out of the entire trade
by the constant and persistent
struggles of the N. T. w. I. U.
The conference has worked out a
detailed plan for National orgsni-
cation. A national committee of %
members was elected. The National
Committee will work in conjunction
with the General Executive Board
of the N. T. w. /. U. A tax of 81
on every furrier was decided upon
to finance the work of the National
Committee.
Important Resolutions Adopted
The most important resolutions
unanimously adopted by the con-
ference are:
For a joint board of the dressers

For a referendum in the fur in

Taxi Union

Co. Unions
Militant Rank and File
Controlled Union Wins
Some Victories


The conference against company
unions, which was held at Irving
Plaza Hall on May 81, laid down the
plan of action to combat the intimi-
dalton of the bosses in forcing the
hackmen into these company
unions.
The first struggle occurred in Ar
thurs Garage where Rabin was dis
charged because he refused to join
the company union. Here the Taxi
Cab Drivers Union, through open
air meetings conducted in front of
the garage, has won partial VIC
tory insofar as preventing the boss
in forcing the issue and stopped the
intimidation of hackmen into join
ing the company union. These
open-air meetings stimulated the
determination Of the men to fight
the company union and has won
the support of the drivers to the
Taxi-cab Drivers Union and its mil
liant policies.
In the Bronx, Henry Tieger, an
active union member in Bonnie
Colds garage, was discharged be-
cause of his activity in that garage
in preventing the formation of
company union. The union imme-
diately called garage meeting at
which over 65 workers of that ga
rage were present, where Orner,
Gilbert and Cantor of the union,
spoke and outlined the Importance
Of garage organization and the de-
mand for the reinstatement of
Tieger.
The rank and file committee of
the garage was elected to see the
boss and demand the reinstatement
of Tieger. Recognizing the soil
darity of the men in the garage,
Bonnie Gold, the feet operator, af-
ter listening to the demand of the
committee, reinstated Tieger.
These struggles against the COM
pany union in the garages are the
preliminary steps towards the mo-
bilization Of the hackmen in the
city of New York for the coming
struggle against the starvation
wages and the deplorable working
conditions as they exist today.
The union calls upon all hack
men to organize in the garages for:
IA minimum wage of 40 cents
with a maximum of 48 cents an
hour per week, with the 40 per
cent commission to remain in eff
feet.
2-No knock offs for low book

3-Where the hackman is un-
employed through accident, i'll
ness or lack of work, he shall re-
ceive from the government and
employer insurance as provided
for by the Workers Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill, H. n. 1888.

shall be adjusted regularly with
the rising prices of commodities
caused by imitation SO that there
shall be no lowering of the stan
dard of living.

There are many things these two
papers have in common. although
different in both appearance and
regularity of issue. In the first
place these newspapers are pub
lished by two unions in the transA
portation field-taxi drivers ana
marine workers. In the second
place both speak the language of
the men-direct, plain, straight
from-the-shoulder talk and both
take up the vital issues that con-
Germ the bread and butter of the
workers.
But they differ in many ways too.

Tabloid size-a favorite of the hack

fines of the cab. But no pictures.
That would have been an improve
ment. Instead of asking. as Gam

you see the picture of the CIeve-
land Taxi Striker? Why not show
the picture itself? It could be done
easily.
The Union Hackie" has one fea-
ture, however, that the Marine
Workers Voice" could do well to
mark-the light, racy style of re-
porting news that results in quick
reading and yet tells the whole
story and has the desired prop
uganda value. This is true in al
most all of the stories.

like that are provocative and

"Chiselin' Broadway is also in

answers the red scare thrown at the
drivers by fleet operators, company

But why so little said about Negro
taxi drivers? Many cabbies are Ne
groes and they face the open Jim
crow terrorism by the fleet COM
panies. Outside of a small story
on the second page no mention is
made of the Negro driver even
though he is even worse off than
the white driver. Certainly an at
tempt should be made to draw in
the Negro.
In one thing the Union Hackie'
really stands out when compared
with the Marine Workers Voice.
That is advertising. Despite its size,
which is almost twice that of the
taxi drivers paper, the Voice" has
only one ad while the "Hackie" has

YANKEE YACHT
SHOWS BEST
FORM

NEWPORT, r. l., July 1870
far, during all the races held
among the trio Of Americas cup
defense candidates, Yankee, the
Boston syndicate's yacht, has
shown up so much better than
either the new Rainbow or the
other 1880 sloop, Weetamoe, that,
should the cup committee be
forced to make a selection at pres
ent, Yankee would have to be
picked.
Those who are financing the
Boston boat were inclined to go
slowly in the matter of ordering
sails at first, but as she has cross
ed the finish line first SO many
times, the purse strings have been
loosened and anything that may
tend to maintain her lead Is now
ordered without hesitancy.
It is known that Rainbow can
carry couple of hundred more
square feet of canvas and that
may add a bit to her speed while
other changes in ballast may i'm
prove her but it will take a whole
lot of improving to offset the
better showing Yankee has made
tc date. What changes, if any,
that may be made aboard Wee
tamoe are unknown but she does
not seem to be in the form she
was in back in 1880 which might
be due to the way she is handled,
though Dick Boardman, her skip
per, is recognized as a very able
Corinthian.
Only Yankee and Rainbow
showed up at the starting line.
A block aboard Weetamoe broke
before they were ready to get
under way, and though it could
be replaced in couple of hours,
they decided not to go out. At
the end of the closely fought out
race Yankee was winner by nine
seconds.

BY GARRETT WATERS

Kann's baseball team is an ex-
ample Of what friendships can do
on the diamond.
This team, which happens to be
one Of the strongest on the local
Eandlots, was organized primarily
because Of associations of its per-
formers and their long friendships
In years gone by.
It was at high school these
youngsters first became bosom
friends. ind with school over for
the summer, they kept together
by playing baseball on the same
store team.
Joe Mills, Tommy Nolan, Harry
Basin, John Mccarthy, Charley
CuoZzo ar !. Dickie Fitzgerald form
the nucleus of the team, also the
members forming this particular
friendship chain.
Played at GOnzaga
These lads first began attract
ing attention by their athletic en-
deavorS while at prep or high
school. Mills, Nolan and Fitz-
gerald, as three examples, expert
enced successful seasons at Con-
Zaga Prep several years ago and
later made even greater names for
themselves at Eastern High
School.
Mccarthy first lowered into
the spotlight while at st. Johns
Prep, becoming better known,
however, later at Eastern as a
teammate Of Mills, Nolan and
Fitzgerald. Basin and Charley
Cuozzo chimed into the general
order Of prominence by their eff
forts at Eastern High School dur.
ing the past school term.
InSeparable Friends
Ali of these youngsters are in
Separable friends now. They de-
veloped this friendship at school,
and it could be called a big reason
why the Kann'S team has played
such commendable baseball since
Che opening Of the sandlot season.
The team recently won the first
half championship of the Depart
ment Store League. The going
was not the easiest by any means,
as there happened to be another
club in the race-Hecht's-which
set the pace during the early days.
However, the title was won
finally by driving finish which
had the entire league talking.
Now the lads hold similar ideas to
keep going in the second half,
which begins shortly.
