Hy HERRERT PLuMMER

WASHINGTON = curfously
w enough, Senator Carter Glass
of Virginia had it within his power
at the very beginning of the Roose-
welt administration to prevent what
he now contends is a gross affrOnt"
which was deliberately intended"
by the senate banking and currency
Ncommittee.
The Virginian has been on the
warpath because he was excluded
from the list of senate conferees on
the stock market control bill. He was
so Infatuated that it was reported
he wanted to resign his membership
on the committee.
When the democrats proceeded to
organize the senate after their
smashing victory in 1882. Senator
Glass occupied an enyiable position.
BY virtue OF his long service. be
found himself eligible for two pow
erful committee chairmanships.
They were banking and currency
and appropriations.

IFS For History

Lad things been reversed. the
! history OF banking legislation
in the present congress might have
been far different from what 1t is.
There have been many things done
by Senator Fletcher's committee
which have not been to Glass lik.
ing, and which he could have
changed, perhaps. had he been chair.
. man.
Certainly he would have been on
the list Of senate conferees on the
stock market control bill. And in
view OF the fight he put up in the
senate to have q separate fiVs-man
commission instead OF the federal
trade commission administer the
act. as well as for more liberal mar
gin regulations than were provided
In the house bin. it might have been
a wholly different piece OF legisla-
ton than that which finally went TO
the White House for approval.

Tax Money for
Cab Drivers Is

Gilbert Says, well
Have to Go to City
Hall in Masses

NEW YORK. - After nearly a
month of promises the taxi drivers
have not yet received their tax
money. Mayor LaGuardia'S
promises have all disappeared into
thin air.
In an interview yesterday with
the Daily Worker, Joseph Gilbert,
field organizer Of the Taxi Drivers
Union of Greater New York said,
"In the settlement Of the strike
Mayor LaGuardia's representative,
Mr.. Ernst, assured the Committee
Of Thirteen that an arbitrator
would be appointed for the purpose
of collecting the so per cent Of the
tax money from the operators and
turning it over to the drivers. This
assurance was written into the
agreement. To date no arbitrator
has been appointed.
"There are hundreds of cases
where drivers are refused their tax
money, and when the union calls
the attention Of the Mayors Office
to this violation of the agreement
We receive no action.
There is only one thing left for
the taxi drivers to do and that is
to go to City Hall in mass to force
the Mayor to live up to his agree
ment.'

ago. 1t involves the following
unions: typographical Union No.
6, Pressmen's No. 81, Paper Cutters

Several months ago the men were
called out and after few days
they were advised by an organizer
Of No. S to return to work and
wait for the N. r. A. code to be
signed.
The Graphic Arts code recently
signed by Roosevelt provides for
80 cents per hour for these work

insisted that his shop comes under
the Jurisdiction Of the Gum Label
code which provides for 40 cents
per hour. The N. r. A. Code Auth
GRITTY agreed with him.
This shop has been turning out
all the N. r. A. labels since the

5 Victims of
B'klyn Fire
Buried TODAY
Over 1000 Neighbors.
Fearing Similar Fate,
Attend Funeral

NEW YORK.-The bodies of the
hVe victims of last weeks tenement
ire at 1877 Carroll St., BROOKLYN.
were buried yesterday by members
OF the fire troop which had vainly
trled to rescue them from death
II the old Stun flre-trap building.
They were the bodies of Mrs. Joseph
Galozzi, and OF her four small
children.
Joseph Galozzi, the young father
who had been away shovelling
snow when the tragedy had oc-
CURED, stood by, stricken with grief.
Only one son escaped death, and
he is in a critical condition in a
nearby hospital
Eight hundred neighbors, all Iiy-
ing in tenements in the Red Hook
slum section of Brooklyn, in the
same kind Of fire-trap buildings
which became the mausoleum Of
five Of the Galozzi family, attended
the funeral. Over a thousand
working class women Of the neigh
borhood, their children in their
arms, looked on.
Meanwhile, at City Hall, Mayor
LeGuardia demagogically declared
that he was unimpressed by the
threat of the Real Estate Associa-
ton Of Greater New York to put
$4,000 families out on the streets
If they were forced to renoyate
their properties by installing fire
proof stairs to meet the require
ments of the Multiple Dwellings
Laws. The moratorium on these
Improvements, declared in 1929, is
to end on April IS.
LaGuardia said that six families
(out of 670,000D had already been
transferred from condemned houses
to more modern apartments
Dramatically and characteristic
cally, the Wall Street backed
Mayor shouted LET them try It'll
We're ready for them" In this
manner he made a play for the
support Of the thousands of poor
workers living in tenements. But.
as we expected, he did not even
attempt to state what exactly he
planned to do if the fight by the
tenement owners continued.
