Labor Rights" Clause Gives
City Strike Breaking Power
By EDWIN ROLFE

WHAT actually amounts to new
F" Wagner strike breaking bill on
4 city-wide scale was announced
last Wednesday by Bernard S.
Deutsch, president of the New York
City Board of Aldermen, under the
demagogic title Of new labor
rights" clause in connection with
the pending bus franchise of the
Avenue B. and East Broadway Bus
Company.
This clause, as already revealed
in the Daily Worker, provides for
that type of collective bargaining"
in which the employers hold the
royal flush. Added to this, more
over. is another and far more
cminous provision to the effect that
the Mayor or the Board of Esti-
mate are legally empowered to step
in at any hitch in the collective
bargaining" proceedings = and that
their decisions are to be final and
binding.
In an article describing this new
clause, puOnSned IN the New York
Post of last Wednesday, Edward
LeVinson, formerly of the editorial
staff OF the Socialist New Leader, y
and at present a leader of the S.
P. attempts in typical social-fas-
ciSt fashion to blind the eyes of
New York workers to its real char
acter. He begins by stating that
Company unionism will be out
lawed and collective bargaining
made mandatory in all franchises
issued by the city in the future"
Levinson conveniently leaves for
a less significant spot in his report
the fact that this so-called labor
rights" clause gives the Mayor and
the Board of Estimate the right to
intervene if it considers questions
of hours, wages and working condi-
lions unsatisfactory"
He also adds that the clause fol
lows the principles laid down in
Section Ia of the national recovery
act and elaborated on in Senator
Wagner's proposed industrial dis
putes' act
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-05-07

Workers who read these words
will not be as impressed as Mr.
LeyinSon. They know full we'll
that it was under the principles"
of Section Ia and the Wagner Bill
that the Fisher Body strike was re-
Gently broken in seven different
cities by the Auto Labor Board !;
that it was under these 'prin-
ciples" that the great automobile
strike sell-out is being brought to
its vicious completion this week.
and that all strikes of yictimized
and criSis-ridden workers through
out the United States are being
brutally attacked, sold out, betrayed,
by these very principles which Mr..
Leyinson so highly praises.
The championship of the new
franchise, with the labor rights"
clause included in it, by the pro
gressiYe' New York Post is not sur
prising. Neither will it, surprise
working class readers to know that
this clause in the franchise, an
nounced as having been drawn up
by Deutsch in collaboration with
Paul WindelS, New York City Cor
poration Counsel was originally
drafted by E. Michael White and
William Maslow, both in the office
of Commissioner of Accounts Paul
Blanshard. Maslow, lawyer, is a
former member of the Socialist
Party who was expelled about the
same time that Blanshard left the
S. P. to assume hsi SIS ,OOO-a-year
post in the LaGuardia Fusion adj
miniStration.
The reactionary New York Herald
Tribune is more candid, but hardly
less elated than the Post, in an
nouncing the new franchise. 1t
states the following in it's headlines
very bluntly: "City to Demand N.
II. A. Power in Bus Grants-New
Franchises Drafted to Permit Inter
yention in Disputes With Workers
BACKS COMPANY UNIONS -
Yes, the Herald Tribune, unlike
the liberal and progressive Post and
its socialist reporter, unlike the
former S. P. members who originally
drew up this vicious anti-labor
clause, openly rejoices in this new
attack on the living and working
conditions of the workers.
New York workers should not be
fooled by the demagogic veneer
which LaGuardia and his support
ers in various camps are trying to
smear across this local replica OF
the Wagner Bill Active resistance
and opposition to this measure,
which places arbitrary strike break
ing powers in the hands OF the city
administration, should be initiated

at once. Organize without delay in
all trade unions, in all locals of the
American Federation of Labor!
Draw up your protests against this
anti-labor bill Immediately. and
send them without fail to Mayor La
Guardia at City Hall
AT meetings of the militant left
wing unions resolutions should be
framed. Rank and file members of
the A. F. of L. should see to it that
this new attack on workers rights
will not, as the bosses and their
tools in the city government think,
go unanswered!

N-NN'NNF~N
Union Unity COuneiD
The two strikes of taxi
drivers which took place in a
period of two months are.
events of great Importance to
the labor movement. These
strikes are indicative of the new
strike wave which is developing
among the hitherto unorganized
workers and show their determine
ton to fight the starvation program
of the bosses.
During the first strike the taxi
drivers thought that they had the
support of the government in the
person of LaGuardia. The SeIlout
settlement put through by La
Guardia jointly with Judge Panken
taught the taxi drivers that the N.
r. A, supported by the politicians
OF the Socialist Party and the A.
F. of L., is nothing but a strike
breaking instrument in the hands
of the bosses to Cypress the work
ers The class struggle has taught
the taxi drivers not TO trust the new
promises of the Regional Labor
Board, which attempted to force
them back to work before the main
demands of their strike had been
settled.
The strike of the taxi drivers iu-
yolved some very fundamental is
sues. Outstanding among them was
the struggle against company union
ism and the right of the workers to
be organized into union OF their
own choosing.
Developments That Led Up to
the Strike
The conditions Of the taxi drivers
for years had been growing more
miserable from day to day. In no
other industry were the workers
subjected to such exploitation and
humiliation. The normal working
hours ranged from II and IA to
Is hours. The workers were never
sure of their pay In many in
stances they returned home after a
II and IA hour day without any
pay. In addition to this. these
workers were subjected to the most
petty tyranny of the police inspec-
tors and are prey to all sorts Of
petty politicians.
For years the resentment of the
taxi drivers against their unbear-
able conditions was growing until
finally it broke loose INTO the Spon-
taneous strike of February. The
companies at first did not take the
strike seriously. thinking as all ex-
ploiters do that the workers would
not have enough strength and de-
termination to stand up for their
rights. The militancy shown by the
workers in the first strike sounded
the danger signal to the companies.
The companies realized that the
calling off of the strike was only
a cessation of hoStilities, that the
fire of resentment was smoldering

EVENING SCHOOLS
 TO OPEN SEPT. Y
Earlier Date Selected This Season By Supervisor
 Gilnlartin

Evening schools will open one week earlier than usual this year, due to change in vacation plans. it was announced to-day by John G. Gilmartin. superintendent of the night schools. The schools will open Monday, September IT.
 Registration is scheduled for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week and those who en- roll early will receive preference. Classes will be held four nights weekly at Crosby, Wilby and Leavenworth. Hours are from to g o'clock on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings.
 Early Registration
 Because of the increased interest shown in the schools this year and the large attendance expected all persons who intend to attend the Classes this year are urged to reg ister as early as possible. It is expected that the increase in at- tendance will have the effect of taxing present facilities at the schools, MT Gilmartin said.
 According to the report submit- ted to the Board of Education Tuesday, all evening school ap- rointments and assignments are conditional upon registration. Sub- stitute appointments and assign ments are temporary. There are s2 substitutes on the teaching list.
 Commercial Subjects
 Commercial subjects prove es pecially popular with night school students, and the enrolment of pupils for typing, shorthand, and other business courses will prob- ably be unusually large. Students who wish to take any of these subjects are particularly advised to take advantgae of. the early regis- tration period because of the linn ited number of typewriters avail- able for the work.
