TAMMANY BLUFFS | | ON LR, T. STEAL Opposition Against Fare |; Increase. Urged By ROBERT MITCHELL. Threats of action in the state courts, city operation of the Inter- | borough Rapid Transit lines, injune | tion proceedings, secret conferences, | hints of definite and certain action— | these and many other indirect prom- ises by the officials in the city hall, | Mayor Walker in particular, have filled the air during the past few days in an obvious effort to convince the | ‘Deepul” that great efforts are being | undertaken by the city fathers to save the fast fading five cent fare. | No Secret. | / Those in “on the know” understand | that precisely ndthing is being con- templated by th’ Tammany officials. | At the Tammaty wigwam on E, 14th St., it is openly stated between friends that the “sardines” who ride the sub- | ways may continue to believe the fic | tion that Tammany is protecting their interests, As an instance Assemblyman Louis A. Cuvillier, one of the chief hench- men of the New York democratic ‘ machine yesterday introduced a bill in| the Albany legislature providing that | a five cent fare must remain on the | transit lines of the city. No one thus | far has taken this move or any of its} predecessors seriously, I, R. T. Move Advances. | In the meantime the Interborough | plan to apply for a court order to pre- } vent any attempt to stop the enforce- ment of an increased fare goes on to its appointed hour on March 3, It is well known that nothing of importance happens within the Tam- many domain in Greater New York without the previous sanction of the | St ° oarons of the machine, This means, of course, :reased fare move of the I, R, T. could} aave been planned only with the | knowledge and consent of the Tam- many politicians. ad out that the injunction which the Interborough will seek can likewise be secured only with the sanetion of Tammany. As an example of the truth of this. Tammany slaim, it is further pointed out that x the application by the Bronx Cham- ver of Commerce for an order to re- strain the increased fare move was oromptly denied simply because it was against the policy of the Tammany uachine, working with the traction interests. The Bronx order was sought at the request of followers of former Mayor Hylan who is now “on the outs” with the demoeratie ruling power, Yesterday District. 2 of. the Work- ers (Communist) Party issued a statement in which a cail was made to: the workers of the city to unite inva mass effort to protest against the increased fare steal as the only means of preventing the hold up. Or- ganization of the traction workers was likewise urged as one of the steps in the united campaign against the Tammany Hali-traction combine.

When the delegation left for Amer- ica ex-congressman Earnest Lundeen, a Farmer-Laborite from Minnesota, | and Greizer decided to stay for an ex- tensive tour thru the Ukraine Soviet | Republic, Greizer was particularly interested | in telling about two important phases of the Soviet Government which he believed were not stressed enough and some sections completely left out | the official report of the delega- ion. These are the Soviet courts and he Red Army. Due to special interest in the courts nauifested by his fellow traveler sundeen, who is a lawyer by profes- sion, Greizer was able to observe in etail the court system and its con- Heastinn: A Metal Worker.
