MEMBER OF n. y
COUNCIL LINKED.
TO COMMUNISTS
Head of Transport Union
Accused by Witness

NEW YORK, Sept. 16 GN.S0.
The charge that City Councilman
Michael j. Quill, international
president Of the CIO Transport
Workers Union, is a member of
the Communist party, was made
today before a subcommittee Of
the Dies congressional committee
probing un-American activities
here.
The witness, John j. Murphy,
former communist organizer and
subway station agent, listed Quill
as one Of eight leaders of the
TWU belonging to Unit 1913, Sec
tion "a, District 2 Of the Com
munist party.
Murphy said this unit was or
ganized for the sole purpose OF
dominating the transport field in
New York city.
TELLS ABOUT VISIT
After quitting the Communist
party because he believed its
theology wrong, Murphy said he
visited Quill in May, 1887, at his
office to see if he couldn't get
back on a transport job. He re-
lated this dialogue:
Quill happened to
you and the Communists"
Murphy-'Mike. you re bad
Communist if you don't know
the answer to that question"
what did he say then?" in
Quired Congressman Joe Starnes
Of Alabama, Democrat.
"Mr. Quill told me In no
sparse words that if wanted to
get back in the industry I'd
have to rejoin the Communist
party"
Murphy didn't rejoin.
Before he was called as the first
witness of the day, Congressman
Starnes announced:
I'VE now propose to invest"
gate charges received in testi-
mony that the Communist
party has taken leading part
in organizing the Transport
Workers Union, and, in effect,
controls it today.
1--WE also will investigate
charges the Communist party
controls various m aritime
unions in the utility field"
In March, 1884, according to
Murphy, four Communists were
assigned to organize Unit 1873 to
embrace subway, surface line and
other transportation workers.
These four, the witness said, are:
John Santo, nov secretary
treasurer Of the T. w. U.
OTHERS NAMED
Austin H. Hogan, alias Gustav
Dilloughry, now president OF
Local 100 Of the r. w. U.
Michael Ford, now editor Of the
T. w. U. International Bulletin
and the bulletin put out by Local
100.
Walter Case, alias Chester
Casey, an executive member OF
Local 100 who was directing or
ganization work on the Third Av-
enue railway.
Besides Quill, Santo, Hogan,
Ford and Case, the witness testi-
fled these three additional powers
in the TWU belong to unit 1913
of the Communist Party:
j. D. Garrison, who was the
first secretary to the unions coun-
Gil of delegates and who is now an
executive board member in Local
100.
Herbert HolmStrong, who was
the first treasurer of the TWU.

no office in TWU, but one Of its

 Miss Margaret Pimperton favored with the vocal composition of Ser enade" by Franx Schubert, Mrs Mark Jensen accompanying her.
 The Valedictory by Helen Ed wards was written around the words, Those who have the will to go about it, will succeed" She des- cribed the difficulties they had over- come during their four years to the successful conclusion of graduation, citing the dominance of will to do," demonstrated by every one con- nected with the school following the fire which permitted them to keep on with their studies as an example.
 Howard Burger played a violine selection "Estrellita," by Manuel A. Ponce. He was accompanied by Miss Margaret Pearce on the piano. Miss Pimperton sang Boats of Mine" by R. L. Stevenson, accompanied by Mrs. Jensen.
 Supt Martin Pedersen presented he graduates to the School Board for their diplomas. Frank Petty grove, Board treasurer, in his turn made the presentation to the class of their certificates with words of congratulation and then welcomed them into the Alumni of which he is a member.
 MT. Robertson in his talk likened the graduation ceremonies to the start of a journey. People make plans for a trip; they start prepara tions that may require weeks; then come farewell parties and at the last is actual leave-taking amid hand-shaking and good wishes; the beat pulls out and quickly disap- pears from sight; the journey is gust begun. So it is with the graduate; all the hours, days. weeks, months, years of preparation, and gradua- ton, all of which is soon forgotten, fer it is Commencement
 The important thing is where do we go from here? Starting real life as a citizen we must try to aid in the progress of the human race and that is only done by hard work. Pleasure alone makes one dull Op- portunitieS for success are as good now as ever they were But the nec- essity for clear. straight thinking is greater than ever due to definite handicaps. The radio, wonderful in- vention that it is, has taken away the urge formerly existing to think. Propagandists with isms and theo- ries keep the people from thinking as they should The country is being blanketed with foreign propa- ganda on short wave so tha tpeople are not allowed independent think ing any more and the activity and work ow women's clubs and similar organizations should be to encour- age clear thinking It is vital to their happiness and to others around them"
 His closing thought was expressed in the prediction to the graduate that if they would without selfish ness during their lives think things out, their destination would be cer- tain-a happy and useful life for themselves-and real service to the people around them, the Territory and all civilization
