E. Snyder at the annual Bay District I. L. D. pienic, held in East Lake Park on July 4. The picnic, a joint affair of the I. L. D. locals of San Francisco. Oakland, Berkeley and Richmond was turned into an impressive dem- onstration in the campaign to “Free Mooney and Billings.” This opened the Pacific Coast campaign under the direction of Edgar Owens, or- ganizer of the I. L. D., who was principal speaker of the day. Mrs. Mooney was visibly impres- sed with the great ovation of the | assembled workers. She expressed | her pleasure in this demonstration of labor solidarity and her confi- dence that such support thru the renewed campaign of the I. L. D.| was sure to secure the release of her son Tom Mooney and his Com- rade Warren K. Billings. The social feature of the outing | was the singing of the Russian-| Ukrainian chorus of San Francisco which was cheered into repeated en- cores. * * * More picnics and public meetings are being turned into demonstra-| tions for the release of Mooney and | Billings according to word from the | national office of the I.

CARDS Tammany Officials in New Graft Racket (Continued from Page One) | card. The chances are ten to one, drivers report, that the mailman has not delivered the mail with his card and he is then told to come hack the next day. Wilful Delay Hundreds of drivers complain | that hack inspectors have held up| their cards two and three days be-| fore mailing them downtown. One| driver, who had left his cab in front | of an office building on Park Row, | had his card picked up. He had/ merely gone into the building to wash his hands. When he came out he noticed that his card was miss- ing. A private chauffeur told him | that a hack inspector had “lifted” the card. The taxi driver went to the Ook St. police station, where he| was told by the captain in charge to go to the hack license bureau. It took this driver three days to get his credentials back. This case is typical. Hack inspectors who take cards | in this way are guilty of larceny | and are liable to civil or criminal prosecution. Many taxi drivers, it is said, have paid graft to inspec- | tors for the return of their cards. Same Story | Another driver stated that his | card had been taken from his cab while he was inside a coffee pot on Seventh Ave., Harlem, and declared | that it was “just another scheme to | mulet graft from us drivers. If a} meter seal should break on my} clock, and they break quite often, | it costs me just one ‘buck.’ But to get my card back is more expensive. If I only had a ‘pound’ ($5) I could | get my card back from that louse (pointing to an inspector walking in the next block) in thirty minutes. | It’s just a case of graft, graft, graft.” Section 7. on 7 will hold a Red Sun- ‘or the election signatures drive. ery member of the section is re- quested to call at section campaign headquarters, 1873 43rd St., Boro Park, Sunday 10 o'clock Section 4 Agitprops.
