wish you would print the state
ment I make in the DAILY" so the
workers of the U. S. A. would wake
up and get rid of these damned rot
ten laws we have in Chicago and all
over the U. S. A.
Some two and a half years ago I
had an automobile accident, the re-
suit of which I am cripple for
my natural life. I went to law
yer by the name of W. E. K, To-
Gated at -. He grabbed the case,
filed a pauper law suit against the
Racine Paper Box Co. The firm had
insurance with the Glens Falls In
surance Co.
Finally the case came up, the 21st
day of March, 1884, at Judge Kava-
naughs court. The jury was Sc
lected without me or the judge be-
ing present. The case lasted all day.
The next day it got into the jury's
hand. The jury was out for five
and a half hours, could not agree
on the verdict. The judge, I think,
wanted to go home, so he called
out the jury for instructions Cor his
dirty work. and asked them how
long it would take before they came
to an agreement. The answer of
the jury was, at may take all
night The judge gave some rot
ten instructions and in less than ten
minutes the jury came out with
verdict that the defendant was not
guilty.
I am a middle-aged man and
cannot work any more. I would like
to know if there is such thing IS

Must Stand Together
To Defeat Charges

BY a Taxi Worker Correspondent

BY Taxi Worker Correspondent
CHICAGO, IL-In the restau-
rants, around the stands, in meet
ings, everywhere where we meet
other workers, the challenge is flung
at us: When are you guys going
to do like the New York cab-driv-
ers?" We try to think up an intel
ligent answer. We try to look
tough and in earnest, and counter
with: We're doing our damndest."
Are we losing our old-time fight
ing capacity? Who does not know
of the numerous, bloody Chicago
cab wars" as they were called?
They were nothing but labor strug-
giles skillfully converted into gang
wars by the fleet operators. No. We
are still fighters. We are a better
bunch of men now than we ever
were before, but we are divided,
shackled, hamstrung, bluffed, duped.
That is our problem now. Not
to bolster our nerve; not to exhort
each other to militancy; but to con-
vince the men that only a few of
us are company men and that the
great majority of us will fight to-
gether, shoulder to shoulder as
buddies, for better wages and work
ing conditions; to build the idea
that we drivers are class brothers.
that We have common interests, and
that these interests are fatty op-
posed to the interests of the bosses;
to show that we must discuss with
each other our grievances, our pro-
posals for organization of the driv-
ers, and as to how we can beat down
the fleet owners undetermined tricks
of keeping us divided, disorganized
and suspicious of one another.
Let's thresh these things out with
our fellow drivers wherever we have
chance of getting two or more
heads together. Discussion will lead

NEW YORK-Anent the notice
appearing in the New York Evening
journal issue of April 18th stating
that the Western Union employees
were to receive five per cent of their
remaining ten per cent deduction.
That's great news to the general
public. But is it good news to the
employees?
Well. yes and no.
There have been all sorts of
rumors around the building lately,
one being that we we're to receive
the whole Of the 10 per cent deduc-
ton and restoration of full vaca-
ton time. In lieu thereof, we were
to receive one day a week off. That
was pretty fair news if it was to
be true. Everybody was hoping that
it was going to be true. But now
the announcement comes that the
restoration" would be only S per
cent without any strings attached,
so vacations are still three-quarters
time, and it looks as though the
extra day a week off will also come
to burden the employees.
Here is perhaps the reason why
the 10 per cent didn't get the full
approval Of Virgins. If the COM
pany restored the 10 per cent and
took of day from each employe.
the employees would gain few
cents from the way the thing is
handled now. Consequently the
company offers a restoration of 5
per cent. Now then, after every
body will be sitting back and think
that TIE 5 per cent will be OK. and
that /Iere wont be any additional
time of, the company probably has
up its sleeve the fact that the en-
pioyes should not have that 5 per
cent, and they will cut the poor
employe with the extra day off.
thereby giving the company the
break between the 5 and 10 per cent
reservations.
Will give you more stories when
we get the final lemon handed us.
Editors Note: This worker is quite
correct when he feels that there's
catch to the return of the 5 per
cent. The Western Union hopes
that by this move it will be able to
appease the employees and put ad-
ditional burdens on their shoulders.
However it should be remembered
that the only reason that there was
an increase in wages was due to the

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Stammering

Stammering
We have received large number
OF inquiries, from various CORES
pondents, regarding certain aspects
of the problem of stammering, par
ticularly among children. An ar
ticle on this subject has appeared
several months ago in this column.
In addition, we have Jumped in the
following paragraphs the answer
which covers the rest of the ques-
tons asked, as it is impossible to
answer each correspondent sep
aratcly.
There are over half a million slut
terers Cincluding stammerers) in
the United States; most of them be-
ing children. Several thousand
adults who are thus handicapped
owe their unhappiness mainly to the
easy-going, but ignorant, friends and
even physicians who told the par
ents to let the child alone: Hell
outgrow it,"
Sufferers are the same as any
other people. They feel and act
like others. Physically, intellectually
and emotionally they are often far
above the average. The only diff
ference is that when the suffering
child attempts to express his
thoughts, he finds that his normal
flow of words is interrupted, in
stead of flowing smoothly and
rhythmically.
One of the most outstanding char
acteristics of sufferers is that their
physical condition has a strong in
fluence on their inability to express
their emotions smoothly. Thus a
fever, disturbance in the digestion,
fatigue, undernourishment or over
exertion will increase the suffering.
AS we pointed out in our former
article, the majority of Sufferers
have no difficulty in speaking or
reading when they are alone. 1t is,
therefore, safe to conclude that the
personality of the listener and other

their own, and the first patient
VIII be this capitalist system.
Furthermore the bourgeois dema-
gogues may paste it in their hats
right now that this same amor
matris," which is coming to be re-
garded as a malady by the capital
list robbers and plunderers, will be
a potent factor in the rehabilitation
of the masses of American women,
who will eventually get damn sick
and tired of being forced to remain
childless, or, having children and
being economically unable to care
for them, having the kids brutally
torn from their side, and then being
sent to the Psychopathic Ward for
objecting.

Some day we will not feel so

Justice for a poor working man un-
der the present laws.
So, workers of America, wake up,
unite and organize, and drive the
whole rotten law and system into
the lake, and establish a workers
and farmers and a Soviet govern
ment, so those takers, lawyers,
Judges, and insurance companies
can be gotten rid of for good, so
they should not be able to give such
dirty deals to the working class. I
only hope that will not happen to
any working man any more.
After the trial I went back to see
my lawyer, Mr.. w. E. K. The advice
he gave me was to take gun and
shoot myself or go to the lake and
jump in.

"Amor MATHIS" Gets a Break in the
Soviet Union
CONDUCTED BY
HELEN LUKE

Amor MATHIS" Gets a Break in the
Soviet Union
IN RUSSIA" wrote my mother to
1 me some time ago, in horror at
my having embraced the Commu-
mist credo, babes are torn from
their mothers arns!"
Inasmuch as she had always holly
insisted (even though I was legally
"marTied') that I bear no children
because I was Impoverished, her re-
failing to me the above stale news
paper SANDER was highly ironic.
And such arguments" against
Communism to the younger by the
older generation become more and
more futile and ironical as the
snatching Of babes from mothers
becomes ever more widespread in
the good old" U. S. A, while in the
Soviet, all women are enabled to
bear ana keep their children.
That fascist-minded sewer sheet,
the New York Daily News april
49,, in an unusually callous piece
OF reporting, tells how a Mother
Attempts Suicide as Court Seizes
Children" 1t begins:
Maybe it was best that they
should take the two children of
Mrs. Mary ApOstolou, of 391 Madi-
son ST., away from her yesterday
and drive them off to the Could
foundation as neglected cases."
They are the law and the
law is complex and wonderful
thing, made up Of big men in blue
uniform and trim, tailored, be-
specialized young women who lock
at you and your children and call
you cases and case HISTORIES
and judges who sit on big chairs
behind high desks and say, 1T is
the Judgment of this court that
these children be taken from the
mothers care and placed in the
Gould foundation, where they will
get the necessary care"
After which, according to this
sweet story in the News, Mrs. Apes
tolou tried to jump out of the win
dow. How irrational of her! Now
why hadn't she learned to control
such primitive emotions, like the
polished bourgeoisie? Here is the
concluding paragraph of the re-
port:
When the bus arrived to take the
children away, Mrs. Apostolou and
the relatives of the other girl threw
themselves against the gate leading
to the alley through which must
pass all charges of the court.
They refused to move for the
bus attendants. and it was necessary
to call radio police.
Mrs. Apostolou was taken to the
Psychopathic Ward of Bellevue
Hospital for observation.
There it was found that she
was suffering from an ailment
which is pretty widespread, not
only in Madison St, but all over

it as mother love-"

HIT
IN HOTEL CASE

whitening denunciation Of all
parties connected with the trans
actions revolving about the financ.
ing of the Mayflower Hotel was
voiced today by a Senate District
subcommittee investigating the
hotel finances.
Halsey, Stuart and Co., the re-
ceivers, the American Bond and
Mortgage Company and those who
appraised the property were all
mentioned in the criticism.
What progress the hotel has
made in recent years was credited
to the managers, and particularly
Ralph Polio, present manager Of
the hotel, who has made a salts
factory job of his management"
The receivers mentioned in the
criticism included John Lewis,
Rush Holland and j. Miller Ken
yon, all of whom were appointed
by the District Supreme Court.
One of the receivers who previ-
ously had testified that he spent
most of his time in the affairs of
the hotel was scored on the
ground that "he reports at the
hotel at II a. m. and leaves for
home at 2 p. m, after having
lunched."
