Gently created Chicago Transit
Authority, had sought the lO-cent
fare on the basis of a CSL audit
which alleged a loss of $1,000, 900
during the year which ended
March 81.
The Illinois Commerce Com
mission checked the company's
books. and cut the loss figure TO
S4.300.0oo.
The new innocent fare will in
crease the company's revenue by
$5,000,000 year, which will only
cover operating costs, it was said.
The ICC, acting on a decision
by the Illinois Supreme Court, re-
fused to approve the 10-cent fare,
which would have permitted the
CSL to pay its yearly interest on
bonds of $3,500,00O.
If the CTA does acquire the
holdings, it was pointed out, street
car fares could = and probably
would-be raised to 10 cents with

fascist groups, special post was
created for 1t. Mills by action of
the City Council.
From an obscure position as a
translator in the police depart
ment, this former Czarist police
man came into prominence as a
mighty hunter of radicals during
the witch hunts of the '20's. For
time, he was the head of what
was known as the "soup and fish
detail" protecting the wealthy at
their sumptuous parties and when
they appeared, jewel-bedecked, at
the opera and elsewhere.
He was also head of the Bomb
Squad" in an era in which every
militant trade unionist was re-
putedly packing few sticks of
dynamite.
The Tribune files disclose that
on August 10, 1927, 1t. Mills went
on record expressing his satisfac-
ton with the execution of Sacco
and Vanzetti.
IN THOSE years of anti-red
hysteria, numerous prominent la
Dor and liberal people toured the
country raising funds for the two
doomed men.
Of thems Mills remarked that
the execution of Sacco and
Vanzetti will deprive a lot of
people of good living"
That falsehood notwithstanding.
the fact is that 1t. Make Mills
has done pretty well by himself
by keeping alive the red DOGGY.
Little wonder that he keeps com
pany with the Chicago Hitlerites

because of refusal to join or af-

stated that an increase to 10 cents

REASON GIVEN for the 10-cent
