Testing the Workers Right
to Free Speech

In Passaic, New Jersey, dominated
by the local woolen combine, the
fight for free speech reached a dra-
matte stage on March %. when d
meeting of the Amalgamated Textile
Workers union and the American
Civil Liberties union WAS held de
spite the police. The meeting had
been arranged by he organizations
to test the arbitrary rule imposed by
Commissioner Of Public Safety Alb
raham Preiskel, under which certain
labor bodies could not hold meet
ings without special police permits.
National attention was called to
industrial conditions in Passaic in
February of this year, when Mrs.
Alice Barrows Fernandez, specialist
in industrial relations and education,
made a survey of school conditions
there for the United States Bureau
of Education. Mrs. Fernandez found
that the high degree of adult illit-
eracy in Passaic was due to the dis
trust which the foreign-born work
ers had for the local school system
This distrust arose from the fact
that seven out of nine OF the mem
bers of the school board We're inter
ested in the wooden mills of Passaic
The English courses in the schools
We're used as part Of the extensive
espionage system established by the
! mills throughout the district. Mrs
| Fernandez even found herself the
object OF this espionage. Her find
| ings are published in Bulletin No. 4
! OF the I. s. Bureau Of Education fOl
| 1920. The Amalgamutcd Textile
| Workers union is the only power

! domination Of the wooden mills il

Official Sabotage.

That secret order has been
issued to the English armed forces
in Ireland to destroy i'll their raids
the property Of prominent republic
ans seems no longer to be in doubt.
On February 27th military and po-
lice raided the headquarters in
Dublin of the republican govern
ment. the Sim Fein organization
and the Sim Fein Cooperative
bank During the raid they sys-
tematically smashed pictures, fur
niture. carved doors, ornaments,
windows, electric bulbs and even
ink bottles and pen handles, leaving
the three premises each total
wreck. Since that date this prac-
tice of official sabotage has become
details that its direction from one
so general and SO similar in it's
authority is now obvious During
the last two weeks military and
police have raided and destroyed
Sim Fen clubs in County Kerry,
County Tipperary. County Cork and
County Kilkenny and the private
residences OF prominent Sim Fem
ers all over Ireland. And at q.
IN. on March IL, their wrath was
vented on the Sim Fein headquar-
ters in Cork City. The following
is the description of the result pub
lished in the Irish Independent"
Of March 18th:
''NOt a picture remained unbrok-
Ell nor a chair Or table. Five
chairs were i'll the front room and
these appear to have been taken
and swung against the table or
floor, for being on the wrong side
, it must have taken considerable vio-
lence to smash them SO completely.
| Two tables We're also broken, and
the whole floor was strewn with
broken glass. Other pictures and
| property were also damaged. A
frame hanging in the front room
of the club contained grass and
! leaves from the graves of Parnelll,

its contents streWn about"
At the same time military and
| police raided the Thomas Ashc club
| in Cork and demolished it and

bunkhouse for the workers, with too
feW mattresses and too little air;
with none OF that repOseful privacy
that tends to elevation of thought
and development of reason. There
is the same old cut-throat arrange
ment of privately-owned shabby
rooming houses, with ricke'y second
hand furniture and filthy second
hand quilts craftily hidden between
reasonably clean sheets and spreads.
But the prices are twice as high as
in other places, for you are now in
an ide;tlistic community where the
spirit of. brotherhood and good will
to man prevails. And in the work
shops there is the same old petty
intrigue, the same old curry favoring
and stool pigeoning for the better
jobs In fact. the only difference
could see in working conditions was
that the promoters had somehow
managed to secure thu choicest as

Quit your grumbling, so to kicking,
