Do your union officials think that | you can be deceived forever? The | lessons of 1916 when as now these | same officials postponed action until | the Interborough was prepared to} break the strike; the lessons of 1926 | when these same officials stood idly | by while the motormen and switch- | men fought unassisted; the lessons of | 1927 when these officials abandoned | a favorable situation with the claim | of a hollow victory—these lessons | have been learned by the traction | workers. | Are your officials cowards, traitors | or both? If they are“ionest they will no longer hide from the fact that only a strike can bring organization to the traction workers. ‘They will ans, silk-hat Jimmie Walker whose polic\ Hail polit: the Tammany beat up some of your best leaders, in 1926, with the courts, judges andj lawyers.

The police force which he has mob- | ilized is intended to overawe you. But | they will be powerless in the face of | your united efforts. Nor should you be impressed by the thousands of strikebreakers, gunmen, thugs and ‘Beakies” which Hedley has herded together in his last desperate effort. Police officers, ‘“Beakies,” thugs and gunmen cannot run trains! As for Hedley’s threat that if you go out on strike “no Amalgamated member will remu‘a ‘t.ereafter i. the employment of the company,” the answer is that he , kénself,-in- all probability, will not be left om the job) to enforce the order.
