DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1930 Page Thr- Whalen Takes $1 00,000 Bribe in Huge Taxi Steal A brief description of the machin- ery of Tammany Hall will make for a better understanding of future ar- ticles in this series as well as provide a backstage glimpse of capitalist gov- ernment in general. Tammany is nominally governed by 13 sachems, a grand sachem and a secretary. Actually it is governed by a sachem who is also chairman of the democratic county committee. Superimposed on all these officials are ex-ambassador Gerard's “59 who rule America.” Tammany Hall would no more refuse to grant a demand of the * than a Tammany cop would blackjack J. P. Morgan for blocking traffic. Tammany gets control of the city in the following manner: ' There are 125,000 city employes. Each is ex- pected to vote—at least once. Each city employee is also required to get his entire family and the friends of the family, to vote the straight ticket. Fajlure to do so brings prompt pun+ ishment from the Hall. “Ward-heel- ers” in each district round up the votes in various ways. By visiting speakeasies, corralling gangsters and “pushing doorbells.” These ward-heelers are responsible to captains, who in turn, report to district leaders. District leaders (there are 63 districts in all), are subordinate to borough leaders, and the entire hierarchy is ruled by the “chief.” The chief today is John F. Curry. Raskob to Get Cab Franchise The chief is the connecting link between the “ruling 69” and the Hall's servants—judges, officials, al- dermen, police, gangsters, and the mayor and governor, when Tammany is in power, as it usually is. An example of how the “59’s” mandates are carried out by Tammany is pro- vided by a news item in yesterday’s newspapers. Several months ago Mayor Walker appointed a committee to “investi- gate” the taxicab “situation.” The Daily Worker knew at the time why the commission was appointed and what their recommendations would be. It knew that the ground was being prepared to hand over the entire taxi- cab industry to the General Motors Co, and John Raskob, one of the “59.” The minimum profit that would be made by General Motors would reach $75,000,000, at a cnnservative esti- terday Mayor Walker's Com- mission on Taxicabs officially recom- mended that a taxicab monopoly be created to end the “chaos” in the in- dustry. This would mean that no one could operate a taxicab in New York except the company that would receive the franchise. No mention has yet been made that General Mo- tors will receive the monopoly. Or that Goover Whalen and Leader John Curry have already received $100,000 each from General Motors to facili- tate the deal, and that several mil- lion more dollars will be distributed before the franchise is granted. It must not be thought that the commission which recommended the taxi monopoly was comprised of gangsters or politicians. Tammany has provided one of its usual “re- spectable fronts” to cover up the rob- bery. The commission includes Frank Walsh, L. L. Doree, Philip Le Bouttl- lier, Col. George G. Mixter, Daniel Reardon, Leland Olds and J. J. Met~ calf, It will be noticed that the commis- sion includes two men who are widely touted as “friends” of labor, Walsh and Olds, If the independent taxi operators carry the fight to court, it is certain that they will lose out. Tammany has seen to it that Su- preme Court Justices McGeehan and Dyke will render a “satisfactory” de- cision to General Motors. District Leaders Sell Judgeships Transactions of this magnitude are handled by the leader of Tammany Hall himself. Smaller graft jobs go to designated Tammany function- aries. District leaders, for example, are entitled to sell the minor judge- ships, such as the magistrates and city justice jobs. The sale of Supreme Court justice- ships devolves on the borough lead- ers and, occasionally, under special circumstances, on the chief himself. The major function of district lead- ers is to step between gangsters and the judges. When a district leader wants a criminal discharged without being brought to trial, he puts a no- tation on the judge's docket next to the name of the criminal he wants freed. The judge never disappoints. A district leader may want a crim- Inal freed for a variety of reasons. First of all, he never forgets that the gangster is, next to the capitalist press, the greatest aid to Tammany in the winning of an election. The gangster always votes, and very often he will vote frequently. Whenever a district is in danger, it is the duty of the gangsters to prevent unfriendly citizens from voting. If the district has been actually carried by the op- position, the gangster must “strong- arm” anyone who objects to mutilat- ing the tally sheets. While it is true that Tammany has only one enemy, the Communist Party, it will often fight furiously with the republican and socialist parties when it comes to a question of controlling the hundreds of mil- lions in loot that the “59” permit the “winning” party to rake in. Last year, for example, when it appeared that La Guardia had a good chance of capturing several Itallan districts, Tammany cops and gunmen insti tuted a reign of terror in those sec- tions, shooting and slugging scores of La Guardia adherents. Gunman’s Private Army Protected Gangsters receive this tender care from Tammany judges because of their great value at election time, but nevertheless Tammany leaders and judges, working on the principle of “never give a sucker an eyen break,” exact tribute from the gangster whenever he can afford it. And so we find that the only gangsters who are punished with jail sentences are those who have refused to hire Tam- many lawyers to defend them or who have stupidly centered public atten- tion on the Hall’s activities. This is exemplified by the career of Monk Eastman. For years Monk had terrorized the East Side with his private army of 1,200 gunmen. Monk's valuable aid at election time had won him the friendship of the highest of- ficials in the city and his amazing list of murders, assaults and rob- beries were winked at. Monk. retained his high position in the community until he foolishly de- cided, while drunk, to blackjack the son of one of the wealthiest parasites in the city when that young man, happened to be accompanied by a Pinkerton detective. The Hall was disgusted with Monk for his stupidity and permitted him to be sent to Sing Sing for several years. Whenever a gangster, no matter how efficient and murderous, keeps out of the limelight, he can pursue his trade as long ashe lives with the blessings of both Tammany and the “59.” Paul Vaccarelli, a greater gangster than Eastman, is the close friend of Mayor Walker, Governor Roosevelt, every judge in New York, and high Department of Labor offi- cials. His career will be di8cussed tomorrow. CONFERENCE OF OBLESS BUILD in Struggle of TUUL; Resist Evictions (Continued from page 1) thousands sleeping in parks after having been evicted, throwing work- ers’ families out of their homes at the rate of 1,700 a week in New York City. It contrasts this with the lot of the 200 Tammany city officials who Nave just voted themselves a salary in- crease of $600,000 a year. Immediate Relief The immediate demands embodied in the program of action are: 1. That an emergency relief fund be ereated in the City of New York for immediate relief of the unemployed. 2. That the following sums be assigned immediately from the City Treasury and sinking fund and future income of the city to the emergency relief fund: rn Ceti ew in .the city nry and sinking fund no: = imating $58,000,000." ig ers That the $30,000,000 that is now as- signed each year in the city budget for department emergency purposes be as- signed to the emergency relief fund. ‘To turn all funds now directed by the Ce budget for payment of interest and redemption on bonds be assigned to the emergency relief fund.

JOBLESS INJURE. SELVES TO GET HOSPITAL FEED -BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 26.—Many unemployed in Boston are inflicting Injuries upon themselves in order to gain admittance to the city hospital, Mayor Curley told a church audience. Although there are usually 400 empty beds at the city hospital in summer, this year every bed has been taken, the mayor said. At least 25 women sleep every night in the open on Boston Common, he added. 5 SOCIALISTS AID FASCIST DRIVE Their Leader Braun to Be on Dictatorship (Continued from page 1) insurance really did not mean any- thing. At the same time, the Bruening government, in harmony with the scist Party, are proposing the en- forced labor of the unemployed at starvation wages. Both Hitler and Bruening propose conscripting the | unemployed. Hitler points out this | would be cheaper than paying unem- | ployment insurance. Thé Bruening cabinet has com- pleted the draft of its financial and economic program which will be pre- sented to the first meeting of the Reichstag, when the alignment of the capitalist, socialist and Fascist forces will take place against the Communist Party and the reyolu- tionary working class. The Reich- stag meets October 13, The Com- munist Party, which very clearly pointed ont before the elcetions that the working class should mobilize its forces for the establishment of a Soviet Republic in Germany, Is broadening its campaign against the Young’ Plan and the threat of a Fascist armed uprising. RED CANDIDATES MILWAUKEE, Wis.—The Wiscon- sin State Tour for the Election Cam- paign, which left two days ago for @ month's tour to cover a number of large cities with mass meetings, with Donald Burke, Communist candidate for State Senator, and Ed. Nehmer, candidate for Secretary of State in charge, held its first meeting Thurs- day night in Sheboygan, a city of 30,000, concentrating on the shoe and furniture industry, and long known as a Republican town, Leaflets were distributed in a num- ber of large factories. There was also a house-to-house distribution of 2,000 leaflets for the meeting. After the meeting had started with about 500 workers present a cop tried to pul. Burke off the platform with the ald of a few Legfonaires. Burke called on the workers, who demanded en masse that Burke keep on speak- ing, exposing the La Follettes and the Socialist Party, and explaining the role of the Communist Party, which alone fights for the workers and poor farmers, The cop was scared and left for reinforcements. He returned with a squad including the chief of detectives. Despite the protests of the workers, Burke, Nehmer, Ted Witt of ‘the Gl, and John Hilty, all members of the tour, were arrested, told that they had to get a permit. They were finally released because of mass pressure from the workers, who were supporting the Communist Party. The next meeting will be held in Manitowac, These meetings are es- pecially important in view of the strength of the La Follette group in these cities. need for it in this capitalist coun- IN WIS. JAILED COMMUNISTS IN FISH SESSION 4,000 New York Workers in Meet (Continued from page 1) millionaires, a workers an@ farmers’ soviet government would be estab- lished, even though all history shows that ruling classes will not relinquish power and the fruits of exploitation peacefully. : Engdahl brought a statement in writing on the purposes of the In- ternational Labor Defense, the great 'y, Where it handled last year over: 6,000 cases of workers arrested, most of them for trying to carry on the elementary activities of organiza- tion, speaking to their fellow work- ers, etc. Fights White Terror He brought out in the statement | and by testimony that the I. L. D.| is a mass organization with hundreds of thousands of workers affiliated elther directly or through other or- ganizations, that it is not a Com- munist organization, but that the workers in it have elected Commu- nists to leadership because they trust them to fight always on the side of the working class, Engdahl stated. “The year 1930 sees ten thousand deportations, a total of 78 working class prisoners serving 832 years in prison, some condemned to life sen- tences, 29 lynchings since the begin- ning of the year, with 14 white work- ers killed by ruling class murderers | during the same period. There are / such outstanding persecutions as the railroading to prison of seven Gas- tonia prisoners to 117 years, the six Atlanta prisoners facing death in the electric chair for merely attempting to hold meetings; the imprisonment of the New. York and Milwaukee un- employed delegations; the nine work- ers sentenced to 42 years’ imprison- ment each in Imperial Valley, Cali- fornia; the infamous life sentence imposed on Tom Mooney, Warren K. Billings and other workers now held in California bastiles; the Centralia prisoners in Washington, scores fac- ing so-called sedition charges under state laws, while hundreds continu- ally fill jails and prisons because of their strike activities, their efforts to organize the unorganized workers. “The appointment of this committee by a congress that turned its back completely upon the hunger and misery of 8,000,000 unemployed work- ers, and additional millions of un- derpaid, part-time workers, that dis- cussed merely fake relief for the suf- fering agrarian population, marked another step in the growing tyranny against America’s toiling masses.” Demands Committee Dissolve The statement, and Engdahl in his testimony, demanded the dissolution of the Fish Committee, as purely a provocative organization, whose,in- vestigation of children’s camps has already been followed by a raid on two of them by the K. K. K. and the jingo militarist organizations. In answer to questions from the committee, which still tries to keep up the bluff of believing the Com- munist Party is a.foreign organiza- tion, Engdahl told of his being born in Minnesota, and how he became a Communist by observation and ex- perience as a child in a working class family and as a worker himself. Like Debris, he described the goal of Com- munism, the control of industry and land by the workers and farmers, and the abolition of the rulership of a farasite class. Both workers told of the campaign to win unemploy- ment insurance and relief for the jobless, to build the militant unions of the T. U. U. L., to win better wages and conditions, etc. Smash Wheat Charge The Fish Committee got small comfort from the testimony of three brokers who handled the “short” sales of Soviet Union wheat here and the testimony of E. Y. Belitzky, manager of the All Russian Textile Syndicate, which ordered the sale for its clients, the organizations of the workers and families of U. S. S. R. The brokers patiently explained over and over again, in accord also with Belitzky’s evidence to the con- gressmen, that “short” sales of this sort are not gambling, but the only way to avoid gambling; that they do not depress the price when placed in the manner the Textile Syndicate or- dered, and, in fact, did not depress the price in this instance. They ex- plained that the wheat was sold short on the Chicago market to “hedge” sales of wheat which will take place within the next few weeks in Europe and because clients feared wheat is falling in price, and the Soviet work- ers and farmers want to sell 7,765,000 bushels at the price of September 7-10. When another 7,765,000 buskels is sold in Europe, this, “short” sale contract in Chicago can be bought back at the price of the sale in Eu- rope, What is made in Chicago by a change of price is lost by a lower price in Europe. If prices rose in Europe, the gains and losses would cancel, but in the reverse order. Such a short sale, they testified, is the nor- mal and ordinary thing for those who do not wish to speculate on the price. {Editor's Note—This is the true explanation of the hedging operation. The Daily Worker, deceived by re- ports from capitalist sources that the All-Russian Textile Syndicate was buying cotton now for future de- livery, misinterpreted the purpose of this hedging in a recent editorial, and thought it was to protect the losses probable when the cotton price falls. The principle {s the same. Belitzky testified yesterday that no cotton has been bought yet this year.) U. S. Government, Too The utmost efforts of the Fish Committee to destroy this explana~ tion failed. In fact, all it resulted in was evidence from the brokers that the financial standing of the All- Russian Textile Syndicate is so ex- cellent that none of them even asked for security when the order was placed, and that it buys millions of dollars’ worth of cotton. “Did you ever hear before of a government coming into the market and trading in futures?” demanded Fish, in a tone of scandal and horror, “Yes,” stated one of the brokers. “We handled that kind of a transac- tion for the U. S. government's farm board,” Fish seemed to be somewhat ill from that moment to the noon recess, OLGIN RIPS INTO FISH COMMITTEE Hits Their Lies and Propa- ganda (Continued from page 1) class nature of the Wall Street gov- ernment, the tremendous unemploy- ment and war preparations of the bosses, the Fish Committee parried by flag-waving. “Do you teach {n your paper the organization of the workers for the ultimate overthrow of the capitalist system of America?” was the next thrust of Nelson. “I say that the workers must or- ganize to fight their @mployers; that th must direct their struggle against the capitalist government which oppresses them, which cuts their wages, throws them out onto the streets to starve, and prepares to rush them to war for new mar- kets.” They didn’t relish this answer of Olgin. They didn't want Olgin to show how the bosses control the leg- islatures, the Fish commission, and wields this as deftly as the boss cops wield their clubs against the workers. When Olgin pointed out that 16 workers had been killed during the past year for their working-class militancy; that Foster, Minor, Am- ter and Raymond were in jail for fighting for unemployment insurance, the bloated committee members tried to make a quick switch. They in- sisted on “yes or no” answers to their fake questions. They threatened Ol- gin with contempt proceedings, Sar- astic laughter spread through the room, to the discomfort of the com- mittee, when Olgin quietly told Nel- son that as a capitglist lawyer he ought to know that questions cannot always be answered with “yes or no” answers. “You are using the tactics of a police court here,” said Olgin. The inquisitors who had called this “red” in to make short work of him were getting hot under the collar. Things were not going just their way. Olgin was exposing capitalism, was exposing crude propaganda of the committee, showed up the tissue of lies that had poured into the rec- ord, and refused to be entrapped by their flag-waving maneuvers, Then Fish himself began to invade the province of religion. “Do you believe in the abolition of religion?” “I believe with what Marx said,” Olgin replied, “that religion is the opium of the people. I believe in en- lighténing the masses and abolishing the poison and danger of igno- rance spread by religion against the workers.” Then the Great Big Man from the South, Bachman, took up the trail. The others had failed miserably, and so this exploiter of the Negro work- ers in West Virginia, who was quite confident that “the niggers wouldn't take to Communism,” cocked his left eye and began his particular tirade. “Do you believe in the equality of white and Negro?” he asked in a tone which showed he was about to evince proof enough to hang Olgin. “Yes, the Communist Party be- leves in the full social and political equality of the Negro and white and fights for it in the South and the North.” Bachman spent most of his time waving flags. He wanted to know if Olgin believed in the red flag as op- posed to the red-white-and-blue, He was asked which flag he owed alle- giance to. “I recognize that the red flag,” Ol- gin answered, “is the symbol of the struggle of the revolutionary work- ers throughout the world against their capitalistic masters. It is un- der the red flag that the workers in the Soviet Union have won their freedom from Czarism and capitalism in Russia; it is under the red flag that millions are fighting against im- perialism in China, as well as against their own exploiters.” Bachman's tactics were obvious. He wanted to manufacture testimony against Olgin’s citizenship, Twenty times he asked, “Do you recognize the American flag?” and when Olgin snapped back, “This question is propaganda,” Bachman threatened contempt proceedings, This gave Fish an opening to re- fuse to permit Olgin to read his statement exposing the tremendous unemployment existing in the United States and the real aims and tactics of the Communist Party in mo- bilizing the workers to struggle against it. “You won't answer our questions as we want you to,” said the ex-football player, “so we won't let you read your statement.” Two long-winded statements by counter - revolutionists and scab herders had been read with no op- position. George Djamgaroff, a white-guard forger, was allowed, even urged and coached in reading a statement against the Communist Party. Searles’ statement went into the record in full. It had been pre- pared with the aid of the Depart- ment of Justice, who wérk with the fascist scabs in the United Mine Workers of America. “A Chicken in Every Pot, an Automobile in Every Garage” Such was the slogan of the Hoover campaign in 1928.
