New Attack Made
On Taxi Drivers
In Official Report
Report Demand Bigger
Fees, Greater Police
Rule i'm Industry

NEW YORK.-A new attack on
the living standards of the taxi
drivers, which may plunge almost
10000 out of work and raise license
fees for $4,000 others, is made in
the report of the Mayors Commit
tee on Taxicab Survey, released
Monday by Aldermanic President
Bernard S. Deutsch, its chairman
Deutsch declared that "the taxi
cab industry in New York City is
thoroughly unsound in organization
and operation. Many, if not mos1
Of the operators, have been losing
money in spite of the fact that the
drivers work inhumanly long hours
and in many cases for compensation
substantially below the subsistence
level"
The report urged that the 20-cent
first-quarter mile fare be retained,
that police authority over hack
drivers be strengthened, and that
the fee for owner-licenses be raised
from $40 to $50, and for drivers
license from 81 to IS.

this report of more than so closely

shortly in the Daily Worker.

Editor of Italian
Paper Is Sued for
Libel, Trial Mon.
L'Unita Operaia Ex-
posed Corrupt Leaders
of Italian Order

NEW YORK.-C mrade Tito
Nunzio, editor of LUnita Operaia
revolutionary Italian language
newspaper, has been summoned to
appear in court next Monday to
answer a libel suit against the
paper. The suit, brought by GER
tain Prof. Isola, one of the hench-
men of Rosario Ingargiola, expelled
former leader of the Independent
Order of the Sons of Italy, is based
on the exposure by L'Unita Operaia
of the shady deals Of Ingargiola and
Isola.
That the exposure of this clique
was based on facts is clearly proved
by the fact that, under pressure Of
the indignant rank and file mem
bers, the recent convention of the
Order, held in Schenectady, kicked
out both Ingargiola and Isola
Trial of Comrade Nunzio by spe-
cial session court has geen ordered
under a similar libel suit started by
Ingargiola. Nunzio was released,
pending trial, on his own cog
nizance.
They and Mussolini's agents in
this country are clearly seen IN
the libel suits, which are aimed to
crush the revolutionary paper, which
has become a mass organ among
italian workers in this country and
is now conducting an energetic
campaign to become a daily paper.
These attacks against the work
ers' paper must be repealed by the
workers. The court room at 100
Schermerhorn St., corner Smith,
Brooklyn, should be packed on Mon
day by workers, especially the ItaI-
ian workers in the neighbo-hood.
Workers from Manhattan can take
the B. M. T. or the I. r. T. and

Conveniently Ignores
His Reign of Terror
Against Labor
BY EDWIN RoLFE

| A GUARDIA'S radio address Mon
~ day night, in which he ostensibly
set out to summarize the achieve
ments" of the first six months of
the Fusion administration, is one of
the most self-righteous and hypo-
critical documents ever broadcast
by a municipal regime, which, from
its very inception, has been noted
for its anti-labor actions.
Not only does LaGuardia sIur
over the outstanding features of
his administration the police
terror, and the attack on all
rights of labor, the wholesale
wage cuts and lay offs, the often
sive against the unemployed, the
curtailment of educational, health,
and other public service activ-
ities-but he attempts, by isolating

body, least of all the unemployed
and employed workers, the strikers
and city employees who have borne
the brunt of the Fusion attack. 1t
is, however, necessary to expose the
basic nature of his report for those
who still imagine that the present
city government is in any way
meant to serve the people of New
York.
Tightens Wall Streets Power
The outstanding feature of La
Guardia's program and his achieve
ments, brought about by what La
Guardia euphemistically calls "our
great experiment in progressive mu-
nicipal government and "our nom
political, non-partisan government"
is that every action of Fusion has
been carried through for the pur-
pose of tightening Wall Streets
stranglehold on the masses of this
city. This will become evident as
we examine his address point by
point, and as we mention other
points which LaGuardia very con-
veniently failed to mention.

Defes Mayor Who Or

at Meeting
tsn.eIaI % the paIIr Work.rl

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, July IL
Robert Minor, member of the Cen
trail Committee of the Communist
Party has accepted challenge to
a public debate issued to him at
Virden, by Father Scully, pastor of
st. GATHERINGS Roman Catholic
Church here.
Father Scully issued the challenge
while Minor was addressing a meet
ing of coal miners, mostly Catholic,
and urging on them the necessity
for all workers regardless of creed
or color to support Communism as
the only way out of the crisis. Minor
unhesitatingly accepted amid the
cheers Of the assembled coal dig
gers.
Actual arrangements for the de-
bate are under way and the date
will soon be announced. Practically
every miner in Macoupin County is
expected to attend the debate.
After accepting the challenge,
Minor continued with his speech,
exposing the N. r. A., explaining
why the Communist Party rejected
General Hugh Johnson's offer of
participation in the National Labor
Board and how John L. Lewis. Will
liam Green and the leadership of
the Socialist Party is holding back
the masses Of workers from a fight
for their real interest.
The Mayor Of Edwardsville. Ill.
where Minor was scheduled to
speak last night threatened that he
would order police to break up by
force any meeting of the Commu-
mist Party and to arrest Minor if
ne appeared in the town.

around the courthouse cheered his
statements from the windows.

Sunday while speaking to a meet
ing of Pekin workers. many of them
out on strike against the Corn
Products Company.
Workers stormed around the Jail
where he was held.
While the crowd was outside, the
Mayor Of the town tried to ques-
ton him and make him promise to
stay out of town. Minor put the
Mayor on the defensive and instead
of being questioned, questioned the
Mayor.

Jet us examine, briefly, other
II points mentioned in LaGuardia's
report. He mentions the new gar
bage incinerators as city improve
ments. The resultant saving, how
ever, is not for the masses, but for
the Wall Street-controlled admin
istration, He mentions a saving of
$1,0o0,0o0 a year on coal. He men
lions other, similar savings. For
whom?
Not for the jobless. LaGuardia is
still hypocritically jockeying to kill
two birds with one stone by raising
relief funds through a Scent tax
on all subway and transportation
lines--an Scent fare, despite his
protestations to the contrary. Not
for the city's workers; their wage
cuts, forced furloughs, lay-offs re-
main as long as the Economy Bill
remains in effect-and even after!
These are savings only for Wall
Street, which elected Fusion to Of
nee, and for Tammany, with which
the Fusion leaders put through a
horse-deal at the very outset of
their campaign in order to insure
election. Proof of this is seen not
only in the fact that MANY Tam
many grafters still retain well-paid
sinecures on the citys payrolls; not
only IN the fact that LaGuardia did
not push his fake fight against the
Iammany dominated County Of
noes, but also in the fact that in
this very report he praises the Co
operation of Tammany officials
with his government.
The Broken Promise Trail
LaGuardia speaks of improve
mentS in city parks and play
grounds. But what about crowded
class-rooms, flre-trap school struc-
lures, underpaid and politically per-
secuted teachers?
He mentions new hospitals. But
here, too, many of the city hospitals
are f1re-traps, and the nurses and
hospital workers are still fighting
for an eight-hour day without re-
auction in pay. AS a recent issue
of the Voice of the Nurse and Hos
pital Worker declares: Wages of
city nurses and hospital workers
have been cut; payless furloughs
have been introduced, and hospital
employees are still compelled to work
on 12-hour shift"

ization is fairly under way" says

by the police of Albany, terrorizing

Mayor LaGuardia Reports 'To the People"

budget and the resulting financial
chaos left us by our predecessors.
Since then we have put into effect
an economy bill, emasculated and
grudgingly given us by the State
Legislature, but still something"
LaGuardia finds it better to omit
all mention of the fact at this point
that in its original form his Econ
omy Bill would have meant an even
more drastic attack on the living
standards of the people of the city.
Only the dog-f1ghts of Fusion and
Tammany in the Legislature, during
which Tammany, holding out for
the continued existence OF the
County offices, attempted to curry
favor with the voters by putting up
a fake. verbal opposition to LaGuar-
dia's program, kept the bill from
going through in its most vicious
original form.
How S31,000,0O0 Was Raised
"The city budget for 1884 has now
been balanced" con tinueS the
Mayor. I'm plain English, we have
saved or raised enough to make up
a tidy item of $3l 100000 which ives
necessary
Yes. the teachers. the civil en-
ployees, the lowest-paid workers in
the various municipal departments,
the people who have to pay taxes
on their daily purchases, have con-
tributed to make UP this $31, 100000
deficit. Not the Wall Street banks,
La Guardia's masters. They still
receive their interest on the $l26,-
100000 a year promised them for
four successive years under the
terms of the Untermyer agreement.
And 1t was to pay this tribute in
full to the Chase National (Rocke-
feller) and National City (Morgan)
banks that the masses of New York
were victimized by La Guardia's
vicious Economy Bill. The budget
deficit was made up by those who
were already living at and even
below a bare subsistence level not
by the money-masters, who were
further enriched by the measure.
After stating that I'VE, like other
cities, derive most of our revenue
from taxes on real estate" La
Guardia says that he found that
real estate could not carry an I'D
ditional lead. 1 therefore sought
new sources for the needed rev.
enues."

In other words, he preferred no;
to tax the landlords. the real estate
owners-who are also the manu-
facturers, the bankers, the big cor
porations of the city. What other
sources did he find2 The follow
ing two main points will give you
a general idea of how he raised the
$31, 100000;
1. The Economy Bill, already
mentioned, which provided for
wage-cuts, lay-offs, payiess fur
loughs, etc. The lower salaried
city employees were victimized
most by this bill. Although orig
inally proposed as a temporary
emergency measure, to terminate
in the fall of this year, we already
know that Fusion will continue to
keep the bill in effect for at least
another entire year. This was
recommended to the administra-
ton just a month ago in the re-
port of Dun G. Bradstrcet, the
foremost financial credit-rating
concern in the United States.
2. Cutting down on unemploy-
ment relief. 1t was this move that
brought about the city wide dem
onstrations of iobless which were
suppressed by La Guardia and his
Police Commissioner Organ with
brutality which equalled. if not
surpassed the Whslen attacks on
jobless and employed workers in
929-1930.
