Editor of the Daily Worker:

Editor of the Daily Worker:
We wish to express our apprecia-
ton on behalf of the Taxicab
Drivers Union of Greater New York
for the splendid support given to
the taxi drivers by the labor or
CARNATIONS during our last general
strike. Your support was a con-
tributing factor in cementing the
unity Of the strikers and the main
tenance of their militant spirit on
the picket lines.
Since the general strike was ter
minated the Socialist Party leader
ship, in alliance with the rack
eteers, left no stone unturned to
destroy the unity of the militant
Taxi Cab Drivers Union and its
leadership. Not satisfied with the
shameful role they played in the
strike, they attempted to turn over
the taxi drivers to the American
Federation of Labor, the leadership
of which knitted the general strike
when President William Green
signed the Automobile Pact which
legalized company unions. This
move was designed in order to
divide the taxi drivers and thereby
destroy their militant union. The
rank and file resisted this attack
and have thrown their support TO
the militant leadership Of the Man
haitian Local.
While the racketeers in the Man
haitian Local, with the assistance of
the Socialist Party leadership
through strong armed methods,
captured the union headquarters at
42nd ST., We have the rank and file
of hackmen. Through the support
of the rank and file we established
new headquarters at 80 w. 45th st.
We are now engaged in strength
ening the union to meet the at
tacks of the bosses and their COM
pany unions, the racketeers and

Some Shortcomings of the Recent Ny. Taxi Strike

lie and to appeal to those workers
who had remained on the job.
Orner and Gilbert committed the
same error made by numerous other
comrades even in some OF our oldest
unions, namely the idea that we
cannot fight on two fronts at the
same time, that while we are con-
Quoting a strike against the bosses
it is injurious to take up struggles
against the representatives of the
bosses inside of the union. They
were guided by the same mistaken
ideas as in the cloak strike of 1926
when, while aware that Sieman and
Dubinsky were knitting the strike,
we adopted the policy of 'let us
first defeat the bosses, then we will
take care of the enemies from with
in" The leaders in the taxi strike
just like the leaders in many other
unions failed to realize that it is
one and the same fight, that to
carry on a fight against the bosses
while permitting the representatives
Oh Cne posses IN the union to I'M
dermine the strike would lead to
the same results.
Another very serious shortcoming
of the leadership was the fact that
they limited their activities to Man
haitian alone and left the mass of
the workers of the Bronx, Queens
and Harlem at the mercy of the
misleaders, Smitty and Goldstein,
who with the help of Panken helped
to sell out the first strike. While
the workers of Manhattan were
familiar with every step in the de-
velopments of the strike and nego-
tiations, the strikers of the other
sections were kept in total ignor-
ance. The militancy on the picket
line which helped to raiec the spirit
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-05-14

of the strikers in Manhattan was
discouraged in the other section
where the leadership accepted tn
police regulations of picketing tw
by two and at times called off the
picket line altogether.
In Manhattan the leaders well
coined the assistance of the Workers
international Relief, which organ
lied kitchens where thousands of
strikers and their families were fed
twice daily. But these same lead
ers failed to bring the question of
organized relief before the strikers
in other sections. Instead Smitty of
the Bronx and Goldstein of Brook
Ign were given daily checks of 500
and 5000. No steps were taken to
find out where this money was 60
ing to.
Failed to Expose SpLitters
Even more serious was the failure
Of the Manhattan leadership to ex-
pose the splitting activities of the
misleaders of the other sections who
tried to array the workers of the
Bronx and Brooklyn against the
workers of Manhattan. Instead of
bringing these matters before the
workers they attempted to preserve
superficial unity. A striking
example of this hesitancy to expose
the misleaders occurred in the last
days of the strike. Smitty and
Goldstein called together their sup
porters under the slogan of going
to Manhattan to Gust the reds.
When they reached Manhattan and
sensed the mood of the workers they
turned about front and began to
call for unity. This was not exposed
before the workers.
While demands for the Negro taxi
drivers were sharply brought for

Hairdressers
Unions Move
Toward Unity
Strike Still On At the
Beauty ParIor in
Brooklyn

THE United Beauticians and Hair
l dressers Union is now conducting
strike in Dorine Beauty Shop in
Brooklyn. The operators demand
the 8 hour day, union recognition
and the right to join a union of
their own choice. The operators
were working over rs hours a week
and were getting wages as low as
$40 a week.
When the boss tried to force them
to join the A. F. of L. union the
operators struck. AS usual the strike
breaking A. F. of L. sent scabs to
the shop. During the week, a
workers were arrested for picketing.
although no injunction had been
issued.
Again, as usual, the police used
provocateurs and the AT. OF L. used
gangsters to try to provoke fights
to break up the open air meetings
and demonstrations, but with the
help of the Young Communist
League this was prevented.
As "a membership Meeting of the
United Beauticians and Hajrdressers
Union the Independent Hsirdressers

of the Dorine Beauty Shop. The
president of the Independent gave

1t would be both wise and of
benefit to both unions if they had

rupt A. F. of L. officials and drive
them from the trade.
This strike is of the greatest i'm
portance to the beauty trade. The
whole trade is awaiting its outcome.
If this strike is successful the en-
tire trade will be organized into one

Limited Activities To

Continued From Last Monday

Against these strong points, the
strike suffered from a number of
serious shortcomings which proved
very costly tc the union. When the
strike was called the union formu-
lated number of economic de-
mands. However, in the course of
the strike the leadership permitted
the economic demands to be pushed
to the background. While establish
ing themselves as the mass leaders
of the strikers, Orner, Gilbert, Can
tor and the sther rank and file lead
ers permitted important positions,
such as vice-preSident, secretary,
treasurer, TO remain in the hands
of group of Tamany henchmen
who regarded the union as bust
ness proposition to earn an easy
livelihood. Administration of the
funds were in this way taken over
by the racketeers, Rubin, Cecil and
Weiner, who misued not only the
money paid by the taxi drivers in
dues and mutations, but thousands
of dollars collected by the Labor
Committee organized to support the
strike. IT was only at the end of
the strike that the demand for a
fancial account was made by the
militant leadership. Through their
control of the funds they have held
statements intending to bring the
back two issues of the union paper
and also the printing of numerous
statements intending to bring the
cause of the strikers before the pub

simultaneously the struggles against
the bosses as we'll as their bench
men within the ranks of the labor
movement.
The strike Of the taxi drivers, even
though it has not attained its main
objective, has nevertheless been an
inspiring example to workers in
many other industries of New York
City, especially the city transport
workers, who are beginning to move
much faster toward organization.
The taxi drivers have shown I'M
mistakeably their determination to
build a union the only weapon of
defense against exploitation. The
splendid leadership given by Orner,
Gilbert and other rank and file
leaders to the taxi drivers bids well
for the workers in this field to es-
tablish their union in New York
and to be the initiators for the or
ganization of a powerful national
union of taxicab drivers.
The first symptoms Of this are al
ready seen by the movement for Or
ganization in New Jersey, Boston,
Chicago, ETC., where the workers are
calling on the New York leaders to
assist them in organizing the union.

ward. insufficient work was carried
on among them TO win them to our
leadership,
To sum up the whole strike sit
uation, the following lessons can be
learned:
First, that contrary to the long
established theory about the sub
miSsiveness of the American workers
the workers once aroused to action
are showing the greatest militancy.
2-That the idea about the I'M
shaken confidence of the American
workers in the capitalist govern
ment is so much capitalist propo-
ganda, since we see in this strike
as in many others that once the
workers become disillusioned in the
government on the basis of the con-
crete actions which involve their
most vital interests, these workers
will be just as ready to fight against
the strike breaking government as
they will directly against the bosses.
Sit has exploded the idea that
the American workers will not &C
cept the leadership of Communists.
This strike more than any other has
shown that if the Communists de-
velop the correct policy and tactics

ers, the workers are ready to dis
regard the red scare and the propa-
ganda of the bosses and rally
around Communist leaders.
4This strike has also shown the
importance of understanding the
psychological moment for retreat.
Sit has brought out more sharp
ly than any other strike the need
of continuously and Systematically
exposing the enemies within the
ranks of the workers and to develop

struggle we are again going to ap-
peal to all organizations who have
given us such splendid support in
the general strike, to give us that
same financial support in this
struggle against all our enemies and
to enable us to firmly establish our

y. Y. Painters
Set Up Club
On East Side
Carpenters Also Build
New Club in Uptown
Section of City

Some six or seven weeks ago the
painters on the lower east side or
ganized a Painters Club known as
the Tri-borough Painters Club. 721
Sixth Ave. This organization is
growing very rapidly, over 300 dues
paying members having Joined
within a period of six or seven
weeks. The club has established a
headquarters, with telephone. and
calls are received for painters to
work.
The painters in the past have
been subjected to Job control
through the business agents of the
various A. F. of L. locals. with ell
sorts of discrimination, extortion,
etc. In this club there is no dis
elimination and painters are given
the jobs that come in rotation, each
member receiving his number and
moving up in turn to the position
at the top Of the list.
Carpenters Build Cub
1t is interesting to note that the
carpenters uptown have likewise
established club. These clubs are
not unions and not intended as
such, but due to the resentment of
the rank and file among the A. F.
OF L. locals against the crooked and
graft-grabbing business agents. the
rank and fllers and non-union
members are establishing these
centerS to gather and discuss their
conditions, to secure g livelihood
through having g HEADQUARTERS
where employers may reach them.
CThis is achieved through adver-
Using, canvaSsing contractors, etc.
The clubs serve simply as cen
ters and gathering places, holding
regular business meetings. They are
not fraternal. In the Painters Club,
due to the activity of wide
awake class conscious group of
members, the organization has been
steered away from the dangerous
rocks Of discrimination and reac-
tionary control.

Shop ConferenceOf
Hatters Votes For
Increase In Wages
Local 8 Rank and File
Demand Quick Answer
from Manufacturers

A SHOP conference of Local 8.
n United Hatters, last Tuesday at
Beethoven Hall decided to demand
an increase of 75c per dozen for
finishing. a zoe increase for Hanging
and an increase Of IS a week for
weekly help.
Other demands decided upon are
the following: SOC extra payment
for finishing snow hats and all other
colors in the same category on
which the men have to put in ex-
ira work; 15c extra payment for
rounding with a strap; 15c extra
payment for line band hats and
the employment of union men at
union wages on the following. opera
tions: blocking, bouncing, brim plat
ing, plugging, packing and Sticking.
A final vote on these demands will
be taken at a special general mem
berahip meeting Wednesday, May 16,
p. m. at Beethoven Hall. This
meeting will also decide on the date
of presentation of the Bill of Prices
to the hat manufacturers and also
on the length of time the latter will
be allowed to decide on the answer.
In the past the procedure was
that the Bill of Prices was presented
to the manufacturers on June l, and
they we're given time until June 10
to give the answer. This year, how
ever, there is a sentiment among the
men to present the Bill earlier, since
some manufacturers are already
stocking up on their fall order, and
also to allow them much shorter
period than in the past to present
an answer.
Growing Miiitancy
The conference on Tuesday
showed that there is a growing
spirit of militancy among the hat
tiers.
Must Take Matters In Own Hands
1t is important at present for
every halter TO remember that when
they go out on strike this year to
win their well deserved demands
they must take matters into their
own hands. They must see to it
that the necessary preparations
shall be made for an effective strike.
They must not allow themselves to
be influenced by speeches of Michael
Greene or any other officer who will
try to discourage them from putting
up a fight for their demands.

Del Rio Star of
"Du Barry"

The current attraction at the
Metropolitan this week is the
much-heralded Madame Du

Del Rio.
Hollywood has given us a nice
sugar-coated dose of history in
this one with the recruiting Of a
superior cast in the setting of the
extravagant, dissolute court OF
Louis XIV. But whether censor.

trayal of the love of this doting
king and his fair mistress.
Somewhere on the Sidelines
there is a hint of the ravages OF
unrest and discomfort occasioned
by the lavish whims of this hoy
den of the streets who becomes
the mistress of France.
Reginald owen, that splendid
actor, is given the role of Louis,
a portrayal that should have been
a little added glory for him. It
still is if you want your Louis as a
kindly, paternal old gentleman
who finds his old age pleasure in
the girlish love of the beautiful
Du Barry. It seemed a case of
gross misdirection to fictionize
Louis to this extent.
Dolores Del Rio is lovely, beauti-
full and all the adjectiveS that
could have been applied to Du
Barry, but here, too, they have

in a sleigh ride in the middle of
summer and the slight bits of un-
