Laundry Strike ts Inspiration to All To Join the Union ELIZABETH,_N. J., Nov. 9.—Two large meetings in the Elizabeth La- bor Lyceum were well attended by laundry workers who had to run the gauntlet of threats, spying and inti- midation by their employers.to get there. The work of organizing the 20,000 laundry. workers of New Jer- sey into the Teamsters, Chouffeurs and Stablemen’s union goes on, and the strike at Carteret is an inspiration to all who toil in this trade. Good Solidarity. The strike continues, with the work- ers, many of them trying to provide for large families, showing the best spirit, and the imported scabs, guerril- las and gangsters committing acts of violence both on the real workers and the shirts of those unwary citizens who have been so fool-hardy as to send their laundry to the strike- breaking mangles. Very few of the residents of this vicinity will patronize the scab laundries, Concert Given. General Organizer Jenkins of the American Federation of Labor and organizer Morris of the union are confident that the strike will be won soon, as the laundry owners are on their last legs. A concert and dance is being given by the New Jersey laundry workers union to raise funds for the strik, Saturday November, 12, 8 p. m., at the Elizabeth Labor Lyceum.

The postponement was requested by Nathan Peciman, union attorney, on the grownd that Green, the prin- cipal defendant, was to reach New York today and under the law is al- lowed five days to prepare a defense. He is to be served with Papers in the case today, * * By JOHN THOMPSON. Indications are that the mass meet- ings arranged for to-morrow will be used to fire off a series of attacks on what the A. F. of L. calls “com- pany unionism.” The editorial article of ‘the A. F.| of L. News Letter for this week has a blast at “company unionism” and asks if the workers and the public are going to be fooled by phrases and rhetoric that are meaningless from a social-economic point of view. There also appears to be something in the nature of a challenge in these meetings by the Amalgamated. They may be used by the A. F. of L. men to explain their attitude on the in- junction in question and on injune- tions in general. The meetings also can be used to start a line of action that may leave the door open for re- treat. The. A. F. of L. men, big and fit- tle, are coming here and until their actual program is published uittle se- rious attention can be paid to news- paper statements and to “interviews” by leaders. When expedient all these interviews and statements can be set aside or repudiated. The scheduled conference will take place and a program will be formu- lated with Green and all the big} chiefs in on it. But whether it will be a program of action, positive and determined, or inaction and retreat, remains to be seen. The last big noise of July 20 to 26 with the air full of rumors of #rike, when none was contemplated, com- pels thoughtful and experienced read- ers to suspend judgement. Legislators Get Mad When Proved A Lobby WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—Another heated row over lobbying broke out today in the tax hearing before the House Ways and Means Committee over the activities and source of revenue of the National Council of State Legislatures, which has been agitating for the repeal of the fed- eral inheritance tax. It is admitted that the expenses of the “national council” members are paid by business intérests who want to stop the inheritance tax altogeth- er.

Paul Crouch will speak tonight at! 8 o’clock at the meeting of the New- OVEMBER 10, 1927 Vare’s Hooligans Steal Everything In Phila. Voting PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.—William S. Vare’s hooligans will contro! the y of Philadelphia for four more years, unless something happens to shake that nest of corruption out of the offices it reguarly steals. Hoodlumism reigned rampant throughout the city and the customary ballot box stealings, stuffing, the sluggings and general terror worked in the eustomary manner and at the conclusion of the day the count showed Harry A. Mackey, the Vare candidate for mayor, elected by a huge majority” over his opponent, J. Hampden Moore, former mayor, who was running on a “good government” tieket. Mackey Manager For Vare. Mackey was campaign manager for Vare in his notorious senatorial cam- paign last year which resulted in Vare stealing the nomination for sen- ator on the republican ticket. Since the elections of last year that grafter and crook has formed an alliance with the Mellon machine of Pittsburgh, controlled by Andrew W. secretary of the treasury in the Cool- idge cabinet, therefore Pennsylvania is now ruled by the Mellon-Vare com- bination. It is reliably reported that much Mellon money was used to sup- plement the usual Vare slush fund which is obtained from blackmailing the beneficiaries of the crogked Phila- delphia machine. Cunningham Elected Sheriff. Thomas’ W. (Big Tom) Cunning- ham, one of the crooked politicians, who gained notoriety during the Reed senatorial investigation of the slush funds used in the Vare campaign, was elected sheriff of the county. Cunningham succeeded in dodging subpdena servers during the time the senate committee was sitting by sur- rounding himself with gangsters and other criminal elements from Vine and Callowhill streets. Charges Widespread Corruption The opponents of the Vare machine, supporting the candidacy of J. Hamp- ton Moore, have raised the charge of graft, which is the customary pro- jcedure because it is so open and brazen in this city, Minority Parties. The main fight was ‘between the |Vare machine and the Moore follow- ers and the main issues of the cam- paign were ignored. Neither of the major groups said a word in behalf of labor, while the democrat candi- dates, under the leadérship of Thomas A. Logue, condemned both Vare and Moore. The returns for the democrats have not yet been made public. The only party defending the in- | terests of the working class was the Workers (Communist) Party, with H. M. Wicks as candidate for mayor. No returns have'yet been reported on the vote received. It is generally known that the votes of the minority parties are divided among the various ma- jority candidates if they are needed by | This method was | the Vare machine. exposed by the senatorial investiga- ting committee last year, but was used Yesterday in the same way as before. * * .

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9. — A second setback was handed the James Reed Senate Committee today in the fight to gain possession of the Dela- ware county ballots used in the No- vember 1926, election, when William S.
