Ae THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1928 TRA RA TION STRIKE, SEGINS AS UNION LEADERS CONFER Workers Demand Meet For Action (Continued from Page Orte) * workers discounted the effect of these steps, however, in the convic- tion, as one motorman expressed it: “No trains will ran this time!” The report of the fine meals being rved to the strike breakers who number over two thousand, has nroused particular resentment among the workers, Care Yor Finks What was previously the carpen- ter shop at the 147th st. shon is now itchen of immaculate whiteness, fully equipped with ranges, ice boxes, dish washing appliances, and cooks. From it issues savory odors of whole- some food as a force of about fifty skilled cooks go about prenaring rood things for the mob of finks within. ‘or breakfast yesterday . the -breakers were treated to ham d eges, toast and coffee, fruit’ and m. For lunch they were ‘served with a choice of fish, hamburger steak, roast beef, breaded veal, with mashed or french fried potatoes, peas stewed corn and salad, coffee and pudding or fruit dessert. They are given plenty cf papers to ye.d and last night they were en- tertained by radio concerts and per- mitted to play games. While this virtual “high” life was being enjoyed by the men who are to take the jobs of the traction work- ers, thousand of traction workers’ children went to school hurgry yes- terday just as they have gone hungry and ill-clothed on hundreds of other days. In the homes of thousands of others either through need or illness or both there is insufficient food and a lack of the necessities of life. The workers themselves through swing runs and through twelve and fourteen hour shifts are forced to pick up a sandwich which is usually eaten “on the fly,” poorly digested and fre- | quently creates illness and suffering. | In the face of the movement of the men already beginning to take the form of a real strike, the officials of | the Amalgamated have apparently been seeking a way out. Delaying Action. Wm. D. Mahon, president, and Will- iam B, Fitzgerald, meeting with May- or Walker, have devised a so-called “arbitration” plan which will be sub-! mitted “for approval” to the Inter- borough in the hope that it will pre-! vent action already being taken by | the men. Under this new form of | postponement and intended betrayal, the I. R. T, is asked to accept either | the mayor or the Transit Commission as the “arbityator” who is to deter- mine whether the twenty-one’ )dis- charged workers are to be reinstated. The author of this “plan” of new! betrayal is Nathan D. Periman, attor- ney for the Amalgamated. Perlman, a republican politician, while posing aS the friend of labor is at the same time a corporation lawyer and enemy of the workers. The workers understand that noth- ! ing of value to them can come from this Tammany Hall-republican-trac- tion company combination against Fi N. SCHWARTZ Barber Shop and Beauty Parlor.

They have already seen how Mayor Walker has played the game of the traction companies by holding loff action for the past week in order \to provide time for the roads to get | their strikebreakers lined up. He has put the entire police force |at the disposal of the companies in |the vain hope that he can frighten |the workers from the action which they have already begun. Even the officials of the union cannot be fully trusted in the situation, Instead of looking to protect their members they are seeking to avoid action.
