(aaiatacisei Page Four = TRACTION GANG PLANS T0 STEAL MORE MILLIONS Legislature M May Permit Double Car Fare NEW YORK, March 9.—The work Ing class of New York City and sur. rounding boroughs will pay creased toll of another $100,000,000 a year in car fare if the traction lords have their way. A committee was sent to Albany to memorialize the legislature to grant an increase in the fare raising the pres-| ent rate of five cents to not less than| seven and leave the company to judge how much the traffic will bear. Tt is} now rumored that -a ten cent fare| may be tried at first and if this causes a-revolution a sop of a reduction to} nine cents will follow to still the pro- test. Pave Way for Robbery. To pave the way for this huge piece of robbery the transit companies caused the governor to appoint Judge McAvoy to bring in a report on the traction stuaton. This report paints the condition of transportation as black as it actually is and calls for im- provement. The old judge was shrewd enough to read the report as it was written by the companies stating in a keen way that it is impossible to im- prove the service unless the fare is raised. Mayor Hylan who holds his political position by appearing to keep the fare down at the five cent rate is a win- ning favorite with the masses who do not realize that he never did a turn that hurt the big interests or helped the workers. In his splurge into the opposition Hylan gives away some secrets of his confreres, saying that the officials of the transit companies are “squander- ing millions of. the nickles of the fare payers at the gambling tables under the palm trees in Florida,” forgetting to add that he himself also left sev- eral nickles ‘at the same place not more than a couple of weeks ago. In the stew over this matter the masses are made to believe that the low fare advocates are trying to pro- tect the workers who are the only! ones who use the subway, elevated lines, and in their eagerness to escape the payment of higher far« hey shout their heads off in support of Hylan, who } ever in determir the matter, if he had he would stand firm as the servant of the tho apparent- ly fighting them. Being a man strong with the people he can be that much better tool of the robbing crew that needs his services. In the meantime the slaves are be- ing prepared to submit to the next step in another holdup as capitalism is tightening its hold and becoming bolder every day in its assault upon the life of the toiling masses, obliv- ious of the fact that the larger rob- bery takes place in shop and factory where the exploiting boss takes his toll in profit that leaves the worker a victim of poverty and misery. interests, The Freiheit Gesang (400 voices) Orchestras (100 a (60 voices) EE SS SESS SS eee eee 2381 EB. 14th St.; ung, 15 Spruce St.; Store, 1337 Wilkins Ave., Auspices, Wo + eR ERE SMES eMC eT rr eMRERRNRR NENT an in-| surface or| no power whatso-| and} The Freiheit and Hungarian The Ukrainian Chorus For sale at—Workers Party, 108 EB, 14th St.; Na THE DAILY WORKER |EDUCATIONAL WORK AND TRADE~ UNION ACTIVITY CHIEF TOPICS AT CITY CENTRAL COMMITTEE The work among the Junior Section of the Young Workers.

Policy was dis- cussed in detail and the comrades ar- ived at an excellent understanding thereon. An intensive campaign among the carpenters has been organ- jized and special meetings are being |held of the left wing. | In the machinists’ coming election, | with the left wing off the ballot, the left wing is putting a few pertinent Anderson group on the question of ‘amalgamation, reinstatement of ex- pelled Toledo members, right of minor- ity expression within the union and: B. & O. plan and demanding a public declaration from the Anderson slate on these issues. In the machinists’ | elections, our comrades are support- |ing the Anderson slate against the Johnston outfit because it offers more hope, but mainly our comrades are campaigning for the left wing pro- gram of the machinists.

Advance in Educational Work. The educational work was reported | on. The class for new members of the party was discussed in detail and its success noted. Also branches were urged to take up even more, the matter of independent branch educa- tional activities, as some branches are already doing, either in the form of lectures, study classes, etc. Students for the intensive Party Training School opening March 16, at Workers Hall, 722 Blue Island Ave., are being selected from Chicago mem- bers. A number of miners will come from Southern Illinois. It is plain that the party is taking up questions of intensive and systematic education as a part of program of Bolsheviza tion of the party very seriously was evidenced by the lengthy and excel. lent discussion at the city central com- mittee. Anti-Injunction Resolutions Issyed. The district committee has issued a statement and sent resolutions to all labor unions and working class organ- izations in the state of Illinois, urging the organizations to exert pressure on the state legislature to pass the anti- injunction bill now before the house.

The Young Workers’ League report was a good one: On March 22 they are holding a child labor meeting in the Northwest Hall at 3 p. m., a cam- paign being conducted nationally by the party and the league. On the 21st of March they are arranging a mass }meeting and entertainment in the col- ored neighborhood in an effort to get Young, Negro workers into the league and are making preparations for ¢ campaign among the young workers in stockyards. The weekly Young Worker is now established and that is as imoprtant to the young workers as the DAILY WORKER is to the party. In the field of nuclei there are nuc- lei functioning in most of the working area branches of the Y. W. L. and some of them have become quite infiu- ential in their shops. Demonstration on March 29.

The first thing they wanted to do was to get near the membership and transmit a bit of their own contagious enthu- siasm. This they did by dividing the branches in the city between them: every member of the committee is) to be responsible for a certain number | of branches. Each menfber of the committee is| |to visit regularly the branches he is assigned to. He is to get the co-oper- |ation of the most competent members |of these branches. He is to take care |that his branches cover with DAILY WORKERS and literature the whions meetings that have been given to the branches. He is to break down the mental condition thruout the local party that expresses itself in boredom at the mention of Jimmie Higgins work. As one of the committee put it “When a literature agent is elected in a branch, the rest of the members sigh with relief and dismiss the matter of distribution from their minds, depending on the agent to do all the work.” If You smile’ and think to yourself “Here is another committee that is starting off with a bang and won't meet again for a month,” you are mis- taken. The next meeting of the city propaganda committee will be held in conjunction with the DAILY WORK ER branch agents meeting tomorrow night, at 166..W, Washington street. There it will take up the matter of making the DAILY WORKER go over in Chicago. The committee isn’t over- looking anything. The membership in local Chicago is going to find,,it won't be able to get away’with merely attending meetings any more. The propaganda committee is going to miike local Chicago go to work. It is a*double action propagan- da committea. Its job is to prop- agandize the propagandists. Elected to the committee are, Bob | Garver, Clara Gabin, Nick Dozenberg, Kitty Harris, Charles Erickson, Paul Simonson, Hans Johnson, and Ger. trude Welsh. Any member in local Chicago that escapes work under the aegis of this committee will be an artful dodger.
