Appealing to organized labor and taxpayers in general to "dethrone union racketeers and Moscow-controlled delegates shoving strikes down the throats of the willing, sat-islied worker" or suffer the consequence, Harvey predicted tnc present 5th Ave. strike was the lust step in a citywide tieup of all transit uiies. Either we get rid of union dictators, such as Mike Quill, or be prepared to lace strikes which will paralize every subway line in the city of New York." said Harvey. "Tne present strike In Manhattan is a typical example of the communistic yoke destroying all the gains of labor for the past 50 years. What is Uie matter wun us that we tolerate a disorderly troublemaker like Michael Quill, who every one knows is controlled by the Communist party? For years I have strongly urged an end to the coddling of those who use the privileges of our Government to destroy it.

They called me a Red baiter then. I'm proud of the distinction. How many more strikes, such as this one, will be necessary to awaken our people to the fact that trouble and not peaceful labor negotiations Is the motive behind strikes in vital city services and na-! tional Cites Draft Sacrifices "Every one knows that these are the first steps of radical organizers who have been taught the technique of overthrowing large governments by comparatively small numbers of determined, ruthless men, experts in strikes and saootage. "It seems Ironical that while Washington is busy chewing the fat about whether or not to help an- racy is being taen away right from under our noses. If labor is not to be completely destroyed an aroused real American public opinion must get busy quickly." Bringing the Selective Service into the picture, Harvey said, "Thousands of boys are being asked to make sacrifices in the draft in order that our national defense may be made secure, What good are their sacrifices if no steps are to be taken to protect this great nation from those who bore from within?" Harvey said he had been a champion of labor as much as any one but that he refused to sympathize with any union which lets itself be dictated to by Communists and racketeers.

He also made it known he was going to write every union in the city and ask them to poll their membership and burn the union cards of those who are members of the Communist party. February Building Writs Show Increase in Activity Huntington, March 12 Town i Building Inspector Kurt J. Galow has reported 26 building permits issued for February.

James J. WeUsmann. attorney for Louis Adelman of Huntington Station, appeared and asked that Mr, Adelman's application for a fuel oil pump be put, over to a later meeting. The adjournment was granted. 5 Jurists in Audience At Queens Passion Play Five Queens Jurists were among 150 in the audience for the second of ten performances of the fifth annual Queens Passion Play last night in the auditorium of Our Lady Queen of Peace R.

He addressed a meeting of the Huntington Township Civic and Social League in Olsen't Grove. Mr. Horn revealed that seven sites had been offered and said that some of the prices indicated a tendency "to profiteer." The Board of Educa- tion Mked for offers of plots of 15 acres, and property owners may still file bids with the clerk in the Central School.

The various propositions will be studied and the most desirable submitted to a vote of the district. "I am for acquiring a site now for the reason that large plots of the size wanted are disappearing," Mr. Horn said. "The law calls for a site of at least ten acres, and 15 acres is not too large under the conditions imposed by the State Department of Education. I am in clined to agree with the view that it is not necessary to erect a building immediately, but we should be prepared for that time.

We should not wait to be forced to act by the authorities at Albany." Two Waya of Paying In explaining that acquisition of the new school site would not add to local taxation, Mr. Horn asserted that two methods of paying are possible. He said: "First, bonds for the amount voted may be floated, in which case the annual cost would be the Interest rate plus established amortization on an estimated 15-year period. If the amouns is $15,000 and the interest is 3 percent, the annual cost for the first year would be $450 in interest plus the $1,000 bond retired, or possibly $1,450. Each year, of course, the interest rate would be less as the principal is reduced.

Bonds for land could be substituted for the bonds on the South Huntington School addition, which expire in 1942, without materially affecting the present tax rate. In fact, if the bonds were $1,000, the rate would be reduced. "Second, by vote of the taxpayers, the price of the land may be withdrawn from any balance remaining at the end of the year. The present balance is usually about $50,000, which is increased each year by the addition of such sums as remain in the budget at the conclu sion of the school year. It must be remembered that the balance is used to run the school from July 1 until taxes are collected about Jan.

15. At present the amount Is about i sufficient to cover running expenses without resorting term loans." QUEENS Bus Line Starts Borough Hall Route A new through bus service, scheduling four buses a day running from Kew Gardens and Main St. and Roosevelt Flushing, for the convenience of employes at Queens Borough Hall, has been instituted by the North Shore Bus Company at the suggestion of Bor ough President Harvey.
