Connected With Biggest Companies It was brought out that many of the most powerful industrial, rail- road and mining companies in the country kept daily balances of $1,000,- 000 or more with J. P.

The partial list of the depositing corporations includes such companies as American Telephone & Telegraph Co., the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, the Celanese Corpora- tion of America, the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Company, the General Electric Company, E.

Earlier in the day, Morgan sub- mitted a prepared statement in which he outlined his conception of the functions of the banker and bank- ing. “Private bankers are a national asset,” he said. “They wish to serve the community.” He said that the Morgans have directors on every Jarge corporation in America “be- cause of the strong desire of those in charge of the institution.” He said that the Morgans were “reluct- tant” to accept directorships. The disclosures which have been made thus far in the course of the | — investigation are not dissimilar to the | revelations made in the Pujo investi- gatior in 1913. Nothing was done at thit time about the disclosures, racketeering and assault are frame- up charges, The Food Workers In- dustrial Union has since the time it was organized in 1929 been in the forefront in the fight against all labor racketeers. Its fight against | the grafters and racketeers in Wait- ers Local No. 1, Local No. 16, et¢., is proof of this. “The police, the press, etc., in- stead of really fighting and wip- ing out the real labor racketeers such as those mentioned above and those who recently made armed) attacks on the headquar- ters of the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union, the Furniture Workers Industria!

But the workers know who the real rack- eteers are, and they will not allow their militant organizations to be smashed. “The press, especially the New York’ Times, has in lying stories, at- tempted to point out that the Food Workers Industrial Union has com- mitted acts of sabotage against the Foltis-Fischer Cafeterias now on str under the leadership of our Union. This is a brazen lie. The history of the Food Workers Indus- trial Union in its fight for mass ac- tion of the workers as against the individual action and sabotage as proposed and practiced by the .W.W. and other such organiza- tions sufficient proof that the Times statement is not a statement of fact, but an attempt to whip up a sentimental hysteria against the Food Workers Industrial Union. This is the game of the Folt Fischer bosses who are trying to ob- tain an injunction which will elimi- nate the elementary rights of labor, the right to organize, strike and picket. “The workers of New York will not. allow these lying press state- ments and these frame-ups to go unanswered.
