Farmers, Workers
Hit by Recent N. Y.
Milk Control Law
Farmers To Fight Dairy
Trust i'm United
Front

Waikiki, N. Y, April 1.-The
milk control law just passed by the
New York State Legislature will
hurt the farmers and the workers
alike, declared the New York State
Farmers Committee for Action in
a statement issued today.
OF chief concern to farmers and
workers are the provisions for pro-
duction curtailrnent, states the
State Committee. These provisions
permit the Commissioner of Agri-
culture to fix a greatly lower price
for all milk produced above any
quota he may set. This means that
farmers will have to sell COWS in
a falling market. It also means that
the supply of milk will be cut. The
farmers and workers will bear the
entire burden; the market will be
stabilized" for the dealer, who will
continue to reap big profits.
Other provisions continue the old
policy of the State of guaranteeing
the profit of the dealers. The COM
missioner is given power to be sole
Judge of whether or not a man is
of good enough character to become
q milk dealer. This is for the ad-
mitted purpose of protecting those
dealers already selling milk, and
may be used to further monopolize
the industry by revocation of
licenses to the smaller dealers.
However, the State Committee
concludes its statement, while the
State may seek to legislate the
farmers off the land and the price
of milk so high that the workers
continue going hungry or with short
portions, the farmers and workers
will protest and attack these meas
ures. AS a step in this direction,
besides organizing the farmers into
a united front against the Dairy
Trust, the State Committee is CO.
operating with the Women's Coun-
CHS and will send representative
to speak for the farmers at the
Conference on the High Cost of
Living" on April 14th

CHICAGO April 1.-The Chi
cago Yellow Transportation Com
pany, q subsidiary of the Parmelee
Taxi Company, instigated violence
at the first attempts Wednesday
night of Chicago cab drivers to Or
ganize in solidarity with their New
York brothers against conditions
even worse here than in New York.
Russell R. Forbes, militant cab
driver, was fired yesterday and bru-
tally slugged when he went to col
lect his salary last Friday at the
companys Offices, 81 E. 21st Street
The gangsters of the company held
him while another beat him.
Parmelee thugs had barred the
meeting called for Wednesday to
organize the drivers. Earlier in the
day they had threatened Forbes
against attending the meeting.
Fridays local papers in quarter
page advertisement said that 2,209
Checker Taxicab drivers (also a
Parmelee subsidiary had petitioneo
the president Of the company tc
raise cab rates to leave the drivers
"a sufficient amount for living ex-
perses." The drivers were Of course
forced to sign the request" or for
felt their jobs.
Even in the face of the terror
Chicago's cab drivers are determined
to fight against wages averaging ten
dollars a week out Of which they
had to pay for gas.

Pittsburgh Hotel
Strikers Demand
SCabS Be Removed
Owners Lock Doors AS
Pickets Demonstrate
at VIM. Penn Hotel

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April l.
Five hundred William Penn Hotel
strikers and sympathizers paraded
through the streets of Pittsburgh
Friday afternoon bearing placards
demanding removal of scabs from
the hotel and their jobs back. The
parade was led by many children
of the strikers, starting from strike
headquarters and terminating with
a mass meeting in West Park on
the North Side.
Mass picket lines were formed
around the hotel before and after
the parade. The management and
the scabS became so frightened by
these demonstrations that all doors
leading into the hotel we're locked,
in order to prevent the strikers from
marching in and taking their jobs,
as they threatened they would if
the decision of the Regional Labor
Board, setting March "a for the re-
employment of all strikers, would
not be carried through.
The strikers unanimously voted
against the proposal of the hotel
management today which were: to
rehire 20 per cent of the strikers
within five days, and 10 per cent
more within the next Is days, and
the others were to be re-hired
whenever vacancies occurred. The
strikers are aware Of the fact that
these vacancies will never occur.
There have been previous confer
ences with the management in
which the same proposals were
made.
The demands made by the strik-
ers were: to rehire so per cent
within five days and the remaining
40 per cent within Is days. This
was refused by the management
stating that they must show some
consideration to their loyal scabs.
Nevertheless, with sufficient press
ure brought to bear through mass
action, the strikers believe more
concessions can be won.
Although this is the eighth week
of the strike, the strikers are still
in high spirits, and have succeeded
by mass picket lines to break
through the terror of the police and
conduct mass demonstrations around
the hotel at least twice a day.

Eastman Asks
COnpulsiOn in
.R.R. Questions
Wants Courts to Enforce
Labor Rulings; Aids
Open Shop

WASHINGTON, March 31.-De-
claring that the present situation
demands "an element of compul-
sion," Joseph B. Eastman, Roosevelt
appointed transport co-ordinator, -
yesterday proposed a national board
Of compulsory adjustment for rail-
road struggles between railroad
workers and the railroad owners on
questions of hour and pay. ~
Eastman's proposals are a di-
rect attempt to place further OBJ
stacles in the way of a railroad
strike as the resentment of the
railroad workers becomes more
and more difficult for the Brother
hood chiefs to restrain. A railroad
strike at this time would strike
heavy blow at the profits Of the
Wall Street monopolies, and would
be able to force concessions from
the big employers.
Eastman, who still has reputa-
ton as a Tberal'' among railroad
experts, proposed a series of four
rules to apply in railroad disputes
which under the cover of seeming
attack on company unions really
give legal sanction and government
approval to the open shop.
After declaring against compul-
sion in forcing the railroad men to
join company unions, Eastman ar
CUES against any bona f1de union
insisting ON the closed, union shop
in the following proposed rule:
ut is unlawful for any railroad
to require any person to sign
contract or agreement promising
to join or not join any labor Or
ganization."
This provision would make 1t IN
lawful for a real union to demand
that only union men be employed
on the roads.
Eastman's plan would abolish the
present Mediation Board which has
successfully prevented any railroad
strikes, and places in its stead a
board of SO, divided into four parts
to handle all labor disputes.
It is significant that the dis
puteS will be divided into four
divisions, thus weakening any
united action of the workers. Fur
thermOre, the decisions of the pro-
posed board would be binding and
would be enforceable by the
United States courts. This would
bind the railroad workers to Off
ciaI decisions In matters relating
to hours and wages, and would
make strikes criminal a actions
against the government agencies.
In eeSSence this is a fascisation of
the railroad labor unions.
Eastman has just refused to make
any decision on request of the roads
to extend the 10 per cent pay cut
for another year. He referred the
matter to Roosevelt, who has al
ready proclaimed that he will act
not in the railroad workers inter
est, but in the public interest" that
is, the stockholders interest.

CHICAGO, April IA Manley
High School youth, Eddie Richman,

distributing leaflets protesting the
recent decision of the Board of
Education ordering that daily ses-

opened with the singing of the Star

pointed out the jingoiSm Of the or

The school heads expelled Rich

Richman fatty refused, and a cam

Say They Are Watching
Detroit Plants With
Anxious Eyes

KENOSHA, Wis, Mar. %
(By Mail) The Nash Motors
Co., whose plant here in
Kenosha has been on strike
, since March LIST, sent a strike
breaking letter to all employees on
Tuesday March 9th. stating that
it els unfortunate that the local
leaders of the American Federation
of Labor called our employees out
on strike"
The true facts in the case are that
the men themselves wanted to
strike, as was shown by the over
whelning strike vote. The A. F. of
L. officials who came in from out
side did anything but force the
strike. It was the other way
around. The men themselves forced
the issue on the strike, and for
mulated the demands, chief of
which are for 20 per cent increase,
with q go cents an hour minimum,
and recognition of the department
and shop committees Of the Federal
Union, 1908.
This attempt to break the morale
of the strikers failed miserably. At
union meeting it was reported that
only one hand was raised out of
over 1900 present, when the Presi-
dent, John Milikent, asked how
many wanted to return to work on
the basis of Nashs offer.
Tremendous Unrest
There is tremendous unrest and
disappointment with the results of
the Washington conference. The
strikers are becoming aware of the
trick that Roosevelt has played on
them with the N. r. A. and the
ballyhoo about the National Labor
Board and arbitration" The 5
point program of Roosevelt stinks
to high heaven of Charley Nash's
company union proposal, which was
decisively rejected last November
when Nash attempted to stage a
ldkG e1tCblOll W ctl1 IIlllSAOyCSO SOAAA
Gil. The little Blue Book issued at
that time explaining the company
union proposal, stated that all dis
putes that the council could not
settle would be handled by an arbi-
tration committee of three, one to
be appointed by labor, one by Nash,
and one to be a neutral. This is
exactly the same thing as Roosevelt
and Green are giving the workers
in the entire auto industry, with
their Infamous betrayal settlement.
A Question
The Nash strikers are also asking
the question: After the freely
chosen representatives of the auto
workers have been selected, what
are they going to do about getting
higher wages? This is not even
mentioned in the 5 point agree
ment. 1t is obvious that after all
the red tape of impartial elections,
etc. has been gone through, that the
auto workers will have to strike
anyway, if their demands for in
creased wages and union conditions
are to be won.
The Nash strikers are looking 10
their brothers in Detroit and other
auto shops with anxious eyes. The
Nash workers were betrayed last
November by the leading officials OF
the a. F. of L. They are hoping
that the rest of the workers in the
auto industry will refuse to permit
betrayal to ruin their chances OF
winning decent wages and condi-
tons.

Waller And
PEDROY ARE
DUE IN Week

Slow progress marked the past
week en- two crucial test wells. one
in the Waller area OF southern Cut
Bank field and the other still
farther south, on Pendroy structure.
Both wells are due for compile
ton during the coming week.
The Drumming test on the
Waller area, SwA SWA 1-S1-5W,
is today drilling at 1858, after hav-
ing underreamed the pipe down to
that horizon. It Is due to pick
up the sand at 1850. This is the
first well on the south side Of the
Marias river in the Cut Bank area
and il is checking structurally with
the field. The only question is re-
garding the presence of the Cut
Bank sand this far south. IL 1t
finds the sand present, 1t opens up
another so, 1000 acres OF potential
oil land increasing the fields pre-
sent proven area of ia square
miles.
At Pendroy, six miles west OF the
Pondera oil field, drillers slowed
np considerably, reporting a gain
of but 100 feet for the week. The
hole bottoms at 2115 and this
crucial test should be a completion
early next week. Location is ME
