Page Two DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1928 Taxi Boss “EXPOSURE” BY BROWN COMPLETE FARCE, SAY MEN Sier’ Cards to Show Are Not Employes (By a Worker Correspondent) | 2A. Innes Brown, editor of Taxi | Weekly, a bosses’ trade paper, in an | editorial last week “threatened” | “expose” racketeering in the taxi trade, There is one racket that Browh won’t expose and any taxi| driver working for the taxi fleet | owners will gamble that Brown] won’t*dare to expose the fleet own- ers’ new racket. The racket is known | as the compensation racket. Whén applying for a job as taxi driver ‘the worker must sign a card whiclt’in part says, “that in consid- eration of my hiring of d cab” I promise to give the bearer 60 per cent, “With this card and a lawyer, Col. Landis, the bosses’ organization last yéar went before Commissioner Lane™of the Compensation Board and got a decision in its favor. The-bosses were able to prove that the dfiver is not a worker but a contraétor. As it is, the driver takes out the cab and gives the boss his day’s “booking” out of which the | driver gets 40 per cent. And if he) 4is injured, and many are, from changing tires or cranking up the! cabs ke gets nothing. | Up ‘in the Bronx, on Park Ave-| nue, a taxi fleet owner is known to be collecting from his drivers 15¢| a day for compensation coverage. Not a bad racket. If for one taxi boss he signs away his rights to compensation, he gets nothing, and for the other boss he must pay for the protection he is entitled to by | law. And they get away with it. And if that is not racketeering, what is it, Mr. Brown? According to the | compensation law it is illegal. | —A PARAMOUNT DRIVER.

O'Reilly, cashier of the held in $25,000 bail on charges of | embezzlement and falsifying ac- | counts of the bank. By GEORGE PERSHING ' The imperialists of Wall Street ind “Washington have been able to keep the natives of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa and the Philippine Islands in submission only with an impres- sive show of armed force. The Hawaiian Islands are termed by military strategists the “second | line of defense.” On the island of Oahu of the Hawaiian group there are approximately 000 regular army men. Oahu is only 598 square miles in area yet it is fortified so as to be termed “the Gibralter of the Pacific.” To enumerate: | 1. Fort Shafter—eight battcries of Anti-Aircraft artillery. 2. Fort De Russy—Coast de- “4” .se@ batteries equipped with rapid and heavy artillery. | 8. Fort Kamehameha—14, 12, 8, 6, and.3 inch guns, mobile and em- placed and two batteries of railway mounted 14 inch guns. 4. Fort Armstrong—Light coast defense guns. 5, 5.. Fort Weaver 16 inch guns of the latest R 6. Fort Ruger—With four bat- teries of 14 inch mortors mounted in the base of an extinct volcano crater. This fort is said by author- ities to be impregnable. 7. Shofield Barra — Huge powder shell gas, liquid-fire, bomb The Imperialist Army In Hawaii In 1924 the men who slave in these fortifications and barracks | were instigated by the officers t» at- | tack the natives. The massacre which followed was known as the| “Kalthi Riot.” Many natives were \killed, but after an “official investi- | gation” no action was taken! | Army officers in extending their “apologies“ stated that the civilians | would have to be more courteous in their treatment of the armed forces or it might happen again! In this manner the warlords of American imperialism found another means of terrifying the natives into complete submission. After this statement I did not gasp in surprise when the natives ran from me if I appeared before them in uniform. | Company Police. | In addition to this huge display | of armed force the plantation own-| ers maintain special police to inti-_ midate the workers in the fields. | It is a common sight to see children} of eight to fourteen years crawling | in the furrows, turned by a tractor | gang-plow, laying the sections of cane end to end while a company policeman stands nearby.
