Elect M CLOAK UNION TO NAME DELEGATES T0 CONVENTION Progressives Hold Meet Tomorrow (Continued from Fuge One) THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, APRIL 1 7, 1928 Page Five o fe sweat shop system, brought back by the union wrecking activities of the vight wing: Fifteen members of the Council were forced out of business entirely, being unable to keep their factories open due to sweat shop competition. Another significant fact is the admis- sion that 59 new factories have opened without the slightest sem- blance of union conditions. This figure, however, is considered ridicu- lously low. | Militants Confer Tomorrow. The conference scheduled for to- | night at Manhattan Lyceum, which is sponsored by the militant members of the Ladies’ Tailors’ Local 38 of the International Ladies’ Garment Work-| ers’ Union, who were stricken off the ballot by the right wing clique be- cause they refused to renounce their political beliefs by signing a yellow dog statement, has been postponed. The- conference will be held tomorrow night at the Irving Plaza Hail, Irv- ing Place and 15th St. : The conference is to be participated in by union members from all parts of the country who were also not al- Jowed to run for delegates to the convention, because of opposition to the Sigman clique. They are to elect a committee to go to the Boston con- vention.

Is Dummy Concern That the Equitable Coach Co., the successful bidder for bus franchises in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, | is a dummy .corporation, organized by Tammany Hall for its own ends, is the charge of William Bullock, di- rector of the city affairs bureau of he New York county republican com- mittee, i Grover A, Whalen, chairman of Mayor Walker’s committee for the reception of visiting celebrities at public expense, and Senator John A. Hastings are the chief figures in this fake concern, according to Bullock. _The revelations of Bullock, who has his own reasons for making them, show the hand of Tammany deep in another pious fraud. The Equitable Coach Co. was supposed to be- owned by three anonymous gentlemen from Akron, O. At the time that the bids for bus franchises were being con- ered, the Tammany board of esti- ate rejected lower bids in favor of this corporation. Bullock further charges that’ gev- eral employes of the board of trans-| vortation who were “supposed to be engaged in the subway building work,” spent more than three months mak- ing maps for the Equitable Coach Co. |200 Prisoners Revolt Against Jail Conditions CALEDONIA PRISON.

TAMMANY HALL'S|ARREST 3 MORE HAND HOUSEWRECKERS Contractors Continue to Yield to Strikers Stanley Vilk, Michael Polachena, and John Dunatz, striking members of the Housewrecker Union, Local 95, were yesterday arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct while picketing a job near 66th St. and Lexington Ave. The pickets were later released on $500 bail and will be tried this morning in the Fifth District Court. Several contractors settled with the union yesterday, officials of Local 95 said. Contractors who are holding out are those who are not rushed or have little work to do, the union men stated. The backbone of the boss contractors is the J. Volk Co., said to be closely connected with Tam- many Hall. Volk has demanded that the housewreckers are on fight against a wage cut of 10 cents an hour, EVEN THE CLERGY.
