You may not agree but we think that Gus Arnheim's music on those Monday night Bing Crosby programs is mak- ing him a great favorite in the east, and fans would like to hear more of his dansapation on the air There is no doubt that the most taIked-of comedian of the day is Joe Penner That Billy HilPs new hit. "Wagon Wheels" is much the same type as his "The Last Round-up" And that "Goin' To Heaven On q Mule" is likewise That a new high in something-or- other was reached when a local master of ceremonies, in introducing "DOin' the Uptown LOwn-dOwn," called it a torch song That Vera Van has one of the days really sweet voices.

 Waterbury's radio sets certainly worked overtime Tuesday. With scarcely anyone able to fight his way to work there was little else to do but pick out an easy chair and listen to radios attempts at enter tainment. More than one suffering male fan found that morning pro- grams are fairly filled with sweet voices dispensing home advice, recipes and such.
 We wonder if you realize how fortunate you were in getting your Democrat as usual. In 8 number of eastern cities newspapers ap- pealed to radio stations to read main articles from theri Tuesday editions, since it was found impos- sible to make deliveries to deal- CTS or homes. In one case there was so many requests for com- plete reading of the daily paper that an announcer had to read even the funnies. After all the news paper fills 8 place in A1mreican life that radio can't hope to fill. (And we've wandered a bit from our original subject, but with nothing else but snow to look at even a radio editor should be excused for just little wandering.)

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Just one
tragic case will indicate to what ex-
tent the Western Union officialdom
will go in order to prime the payroll.
This, incidentally, is not an isolated
case in industry.
Not very long ago Harry Garvey
dropped dead in the messenger
wardrobe. He spent his last few
years at job which would have
exhausted a much younger man.
Just imagine hundreds of healthy
youngsters rushing in to work in the
morning, yelling for their uniforms.
AS they 'hollered" out their num-
bers Mr.. Carney would hustle to
the rack containing that particular
uniform. No sooner did he turn
one uniform over to the messenger
than he had to rush to the next
number hurled at him. So it went
in the morning and so it went at
night, when the pressure was that
much greater, because the boys were
in a hurry to get home.
This Mr.. Carney for years was
valued employee and held high
supervisory job. With the coming
of age he could not put over that
poppy job which is expected. Down
the ladder he slid. Carney was not

This fight Of the Public Service

Drastic Cut

BY R,R. Worker Correspondent
PORTLAND, Me.-The Boston
and Maine R.R. only recently re-
ceived a loan from the government,
which was supposed to help increase
employment, but instead a con-
tinual lay-off and intensified
stretch out followed.
At Kigby (railroad shop In Port
land, they cut the carmen shop
crew so that now there are more
bosses than workers. Last week the
painters, blacksniths and millmen
were forced to do Garments work.
The men objected, but at the Of
flee of the officials tried to put the
blame on the men recently laid off.
They claimed that somebody sent a
letter to French, the general man
ager, telling him that there were
too many men loafing on the job.
Anyway, the office help was cut
and the Stretch-out increased.
When the head of the company
union was approached, he used this
opportunity to knock the A. F.. of
L. local by trying to put the blame
for the letter to French on three
former officials of the now dead A.
F. of L. Garments local.
The whole story of the letter was
probably cooked up in the Kigby

in the messenger wardrobe, where
he died, and had the posthumous
honor of the then president, New
comb Carlton, holding his hand.
Where is that vaunted ideal that
has been so long dangled before
ambitious youth? Just be on time,
work hard, don't watch the clock
and some day you will be president
of the company. With this bosh
has the capitalistic system drugged
the youth of the country to give
their best for the rainbow at the
end of the horizon. Garvey's rain
bow was a miserable old age and
a terrible death. All the other old
timers will either share a like fate
or be cast out with a miserable pit
lance Of a pension, if any at all.
And the company union, Associa-
ton of Western Union Employees
aids the CAROLS and Whites to put
the finishing touch to those who
have given the best years of their
lives to the company.
A lesson to all those ambitious,
aspiring young men who now fill
the places Of the Garveys-t think

burden of my letter. Organize in
your own independent unions and

all it represents.

By AaN WORKER correspondent
CHICAGO, nI-Workers IN few
industries are suffering as severely
from low wages as the cab drivers.
Six or seven years ago we used to
book as high as $40 and $50 day.
Now We book $50, 50, and $3.50 a
day. With unusual luck we may get
SO or 81.
Just now the Public Service driv-
ers are facing not only starvation
but the loss Of their cabs as well.
Most of them own their cabs, pay
ing the company for garage stOr-
age, bond, the use Of the company
name, telephone service and some
other things. When they fall be-
hind on these payments the COM
pany claims their cabs as security.
Among the many other bills
driver-owner must meet is the wheel
tax that was put through the City
Council last summer by agents Of
the monopoly interests. This tax
amounts to a fat $50 per year per
cab and is in addition to c}auffeurs
license, state auto license, gasoline
tax and others.
A concern like the Yellow Cab
Co. can draw upon its surplus of
5000 900 for these things but what
will a driver do who has been bled
white by five years OF constantly
falling business and rising priees7
Within the last few days notices
were sent out to the Public Service
drivers by the company that the
three installmentS of the wheel tax
must be paid by Nov. 20 or the cabs
would be held in lieu thereof. Think
of what this means to driver who
has his whole fortune tied up in his
cab Certainly their backs are against
the wall end how well they realize
it. They are nervous, sore and des-
perate. They want to fight back
and they have some good sensible
ideas on how TO do it, too.
One or two efforts have been
made amongst them to organize
But nobody from the outside has
shown any particular interest in
their troubles excepting the Trade
Union Unity League. This organiza-
ton has extended them hand and
the drivers have responded readily
ard with enthusiasm.
The owners of the independent
cabs, commonly known as street
hacks, have much the same prob
lens, particularly regarding the
wheel tax. The Checker owners are
also in the same boat.
The Yellow Cab drivers are re-
CURED to turn in from 12c to 15c for
every mhe they roll, the exact
amount per mile varying IN diff
ferent garages. This keeps a driver
nervous and anxious, gives the boss
another excuse to ride him and pre-
vents him from going where he

AS far as we know there are at
the present time only two candi-

Business Agent, Sullivan, and
Frank Kenney, a rank and file
working longshoreman. Most of
the brothers know all about
Sullivan, so I won't waste the
space to say any more on his
arti-rank and file record.
The brothers are looking to
Kenney to furnish them with
the honest leadership they want
in their fight against the count
less grievances that the Clyde

Kenney has promised to do.
Whether he does or not is en-
tirely up to the rank and file
brothers under the leadership Of
the Rank and File Group of

Let Us get behind him and
keep his memory from slipping
after he Is elected.
