This com- pany oper s its lines so that the congested conditions have become a menace to the welfare of the millions who ride on the street cars, subways and elevated lines. “The traction barons and bankers who operate the traction lines have made millions of dollars at the ex- pense of the great masses of people of | this city. The wages of the workers | of New York are too low to stand an} additional expense from the for the increased fare. ized labor of the city. The workers must demand the retention of the 5: cent fare and in spite of what the courts may say, what the politicians may decide, the workers must. refuse to pay the increased fare. Mass Refusal. “By mass solidarity the workers must show to this company and the capitalist politicians that they will re- fuse to pay an additional fare for the |! rotten service on the traction lines, The traction situation in New York will not be changed as long as the city government is in the hands of the re- publican and democratic politicians who are the servants of the big busi- ness interests. “More than ever before there is a| ,, need for a labor party to clean out|, from office the politicians of the capi- talist class who must be held account- able for the congestion and health- menacing conditions upon the traction lines. The workers of New York | must hold protest meetings and dem- onstrations against this increased fare to show the politicians that they will not be passive in the-face of these blows against their standards of living. They must send delegations from all sections of the city to demand | that steps be taken for the mainten- ance of the 5-cent fare, Action, Not Words. “They must demand action, not words, from. these politicians..
