The largest textile mills of the city are the Lyman Mills, employing 1100. Preparatory to announcing a wage cut, they are terrorizing the workers by threatening removal of their mills to the South. Stockhold- ers are making widespread statements about lowering the wage scale and increasing the working week in or- der to save the industry for New England. Any further increase of work or decrease of wage will mean greater hardship for the people, who even now hardly average $17.00 a week. Workers Party Organizing. In this atmosphere of deep depres- sion there is only one encouraging note. The mass meetings organized by the Workers’ Party have been in- creasingly successful. A Sacco-Van- zetti meeting aroused a great deal of jenthusiasm amongst the workers, and a branch of the I. L. D. is in pro- cess of formation.

Spokesmen for the mayor hail this a great victory and the stage is all set for Walker's triumphant tour abroad during which the nifty mayor will call on the king of England. Significant in the maneuvering which preceding the final vote w: the switch made by Bagough Pres dent James J. Byrne. Richt along, ever since Tammany Hall has been engineering this deal, Byrne opposed chise to the Equitable clique. As Byrne is a Brooklyn man, and for many other reasons, he favored the granting of the franchise to the Coney Island and Gravesend Bus Corporation, a subsidiary of the B. M. T., and thé Brooklyn City Rail- road Company. Byrn opposition to the Brooklyn deal has blockaded the passage of the bill for some time past. Another one of those eleventh hou Walker deals was put over to jam the deal through. It is said that Olvany got Byrne on the telephone a few hours before the hearing and warned him that unless Byrne voted for the Equitable franchise that he would order Walker into Brooklyn to campaign against Cooey, the Brook- lyn political chief, at the next elec- tion, In addition to this it is rumored that a consideration changed hands and the stage was all set for the vote. Following the Olvany-Byrne telephone conversation Walker had a talk with Byrne for publicity pur- poses and the conversation was made to look like another “victory.” Wiltiam — Wooden, chairman of Walker’s Reception Cownimittee, is very much*interested in the Equita- ble Coach Company.

Fifth Avenue Coach Company. Deals and counter-deals marked the bus scheme since its inception some eigh- teen months ago. High handed political tactics char- acterized the taking of the vote on| the franchise resolution. Skipping several items in the procedure Walk- er suddenly announced, “The chair moves the adoption of No. 14. The elerk will call the roll.” The roll was called instantly. All members of the Board voted for the resolution. Walker then said, “The president of the Board of Aldermen moves the adoption of No. 39, so far as it refers to the Surface Trans portation Corporation.” . This was passed by a similar vote. No one in the room, except those vitally interested, realized just what was taking place, so speedy was the action. When an opponent to the Walker bill, Herman A. Bayern, arose to object, Walker ordered a police- man to silence him, Stewart Browne, president of the United Real Estate Owners’ Assécia- tion, who ®as backing another bus horse, said, “The Board of Estimate is so lost to the best interests of the city treasury and the travelling pub- lie that it votes for a franchise that will cost bus users 50 per cent more in fares, and the city will lose about $1,000,000 in revenue. “T asked the mayor, ‘What’s the nigger in the woodpile?’ and he an- swered, ‘Ask me anoti2r.’” Wisconsin State Labor Federation Reelects WAUSAU, Wis., July 81 (FP).— The Wisconsin State Federation of Labor convention at Wausau reelect- ed Pres.
