FABER ASKS FOR
LABOR SUPPORT

Genial Harvey ]. Faber, the
only candidate for Mayor who
packs a union card, made a strong
bid for labor's support when he
backed striking bus drivers during
the recent transit tie-up.
In radio talks, Faber attacked
the transit Commission as repre-
senting the interest of bond hold
ers instead of the people of Seat
tie. THE bus drivers are entitled
to more money. According to the
prices that must be paid today in
order for a family to live decent
ly, a fair wage must be paid, "
Faber said.
Faber also pointed out that the
three-day tie-up cost the transit
company enough in revenue to pay
drivers and mechanics for the
next six months the wage asked
for. He accused Mayor Devin of
failure to take a positive stand on
the issues involved because the
Mayor was indebted politically to
members of the Commission.
How could we expect the
Mayor to be fair when Payne
Karr, chairman of the Commits
sion, had served as Devin's cam
paign manager" Faber asked. Fa-
