r aprtiabii ; To Fight “Yellow Dog” ‘THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1928 WORKERS FLOCK TO COOPER UNION MEETING SUNDAY. And Injunctions (Continued from Page One) ut the purpose fot which its spon- prs pretended to call it. Preparations for the meeting made y officials of the New York State ederation of Labor and the Central rades and Labor Council, it was earned, do not include any attempt to dass a rank and file attendance. At the Thursday meeting of the Central Trades and Labor Council, it was learned that no attempt had been made to obtain such an attendance. Chairman of the meeting, John Mun- holland, in reply to a question stated that each delegate should notify his local. In view of the short time which remained before the Sunday meeting, it was pointed out, no word could be passed to the union members. No Preparation. | Another delegate suggested vague- ly that a leaflet might be printed and distributed on the jobs. Nothing fur- ther was done in this regard. Dele- gate Lefkowitz, of the teachers’ union made the statement that the Sunday meeting was more important than all “the votes we have ever cast,” and said that everybody should attend. Many signs point to the fact that hundreds of trade unionists to whom the injunction is an immediate and real menace will attend the meeting. Unemployed to be There. It was learned yesterday that a body of the New York unemployed workers who organized themselves into the Council of the Unemployed are expecting to attend the meeting end will urge that the trade union officials carry out théir long overdue promise to organize the unorganized and to adopt some policy for secur- ing unemployment relief. It is expected that the traction workers, who are immediately af- fected by the injunction menace, and whose union, the Amalgamated As- sociation, is one of the parties to the Interborough application for a re- straining order, will come out in large numbers. Rank and File Will Demand Action. The present period of unemploy- ment, the drive against the trade unions by the employers, the general lowering of union standards have caused the rank and to seek defi- nite and immediate remedies for their problems. It is believed that the la- bor officials ‘viltapnaele se satis- fy the rank and fiJe with vague and verbal promises. + The fact that the chief speaker at the meeting is scheduled to be Wm, Green, who as president of the Fed- eration, has shown himself an arch reactionary, while Matthew Woll, act- ing president of the National Civic Federation, an open shop organiza- tion, is expected likewise, indicates the tone which the officials intend to give the meeting. Woll openly spon- sors the Bar Association’s anti-strike law, which is itself in the spirit of a perpetual injunction. Other speakers will be Wm. D. Mahon, president of the Amalgamated, John Sullivan, president of the State Federation, Joseph P. Ryan, president of the Cen- tral Trades, In addition a high gal- axy of ministers and priests will be present. It is expected that the small hall at Cooper Union will not be able to hold the number of rank and file members who will come to the meet- ing at 2 p. m. Hospital Conditions Blamed on City Heads Insufficient financial allowance by the city was blamed by the medical board of the Kings County Hospital for the foul conditions existing there as revealed in a report by Commis-! sioner of Accounts James A. Higgins. Charges often made that poor pa- tients are mistreated and that the conditions of the hospital employes were unspeakable are ignored in the statement by the board, just as they were in the report of Commissioner | Higgins. Nor did the board state} that any improvement had been made in the hospital or that any was con- templated, Policeman. Indicted H on Bribery Charge Patrolman John McGlucken of the Hamilton Ave, staton was indicted on the charge of bribery last Wednes- day, it was revealed yesterday by Magistrate Short in Flatbush court. “<McGlucken was recently arrested for accepting bribes from persons he had summoned for traffic violations.
