NEW “MASCOT” WARMLY; RECEIVED ‘BY WORKERS The third issue of “The Mascot” appeared at the gates of the Brewster Rolls Royce automobile plant last Thursday. The workers, who had been watching for it daily, who were forced to work over came down to get their copies before all were gone. The foremen and of- ticials of the company also came or sent out for a copy. The distributing committee received more voluntary contributions for the paper than éver before. The leading article in the paper this month was an answer to the attempt of the officials to divide the workers on national grounds. An appeal had been made to the English workers by one of the English officials against “The Mascot.” Favorable comment has been heard | on the article, which pointed out that workers are workers whether they come from England, Europe, United! States or Canada. The drive for unionization was car- ried on in this issue in an article on the importance and problems cf or- ganization. A special article called on the office workers to join the union and fight with their fellows in the shop. Expose Plane Manufacture. Another article told of the fact that plane parts manufactured on the second floor of the plant for bombing planes in the marine branch of the United States war department were usedin the imperialistic expeditions in Nicaragua. It further pointed out that the workers are thus being em- ployed to fight their Nicaraguan fel- low workers, against whom they have no grievance. “Among the other features were ar- ticles on the all-important miners’ conference held in Pittsburgh, _ the rank and file elections recently held in the plant, the effect of the unem- ployment situation on the workers employed in the Brewster plant, an interesting group of comments from the workers expressing their great sympathy with the “Mascot,” and sev- eral lighter stories. Art Work a Feature. The art work is a special feature of this issue of “The Mascot.” On the last page there was a copy of Art Young’s cartoon showing the ef- feet’ on the boss when. the. workers are organized. A small cut on the inside showed the head of the ac- counting department of Rolls Royce office working late at night with a cot all ready so that he would not} even have to stop to go home. This was particularly appreciated by the office workers who have to work late without extra pay. BONITA VERDICT MANSLAUGHTER (Continued from Page One) judge, carries with it a sentence of between twelve and twenty years im- prisonment depending upon the dis-| cretion of the court who by his re-! jection of the first verdict so clearly revealed his Hatred of the: militant mine worker.

J., April 15.—Ed- ward Levy, a striking taxicab driver, \ City today by gangsters said to have been hired by the taxi owners of Newark, against whom the drivers jare striking for union recognition and higher wages and shorter hours. Levy stated that the attackers had demanded that he tell what had oc- curred at a meeting of the striking taxi drivers in Newark Friday night. Gangsters have. also threatened to bomb the Twentieth Century Cab Co. of Newark, which has settled with the taxi drivers’ union, the strike leaders stated. Strikers Ignore “Deadline.” The Yellow Cab Co. has issued a statement that it is willing to con- cede all the strikers’ demands except that of union recognition. The strik- ers have expressed their determina- tion to remain out until all their de- mands are met. Saturday was the “deadline” set by the taxi bosses for the return of the striking drivers. Admission was made by the bosses that none of the strik- ers had returned. Strikers characterized as an inven- tion charges by Paul Sanderson, a traffic manager of the Cab Operat- ing Co., that strikers had fired three bullets ‘at him Saturday while he was riding in his car.
