Recognizing the similarity In the
political and Industrial problems
that exist in the st. Louis and Chi
cago districts, the National Execu-
tive Committee Of the Young Work
ers League has decided to amalaa-
mate these two districts.
The ST. Louis district consists
mainly of branches in the mining
towns in Southern Illinois, with
few branches in ST. Louis. There
is no doubt that the amaIgamation
Of these two districts will greatly
help the work being carried on.
Barney Mass, who was organizer
Of the st. Louis district, which com
prises the greatest number of
branches, and the broadcast field Of
work, has been appointed district
organizer Of the combined district,

THIRTY SHOPS b.
SIGN UP With !
BAKERS union
Injunctions Figure on
Both Sides W. /
BY HYMlE HARRIS.

The struggle Of local 237 of the Jew
ish Bakers Union against the Master
Bakers Association is still going
strong with the odds on the side Of the
union. Thirty shops have. already
signed agreements and have refused
to accede to the demands Of the boss
es' association that they produce be-
yond their usual quota in order to
make up for the shortage caused by
the strike.
The strike committee had confer
ence with the bosses committee, but
no agreement was reached. The men
are standing pat on their demand for
$500 per week raise.
According to business agent Lipkin,
the bosses, for the first time in la
Dor struggles have secured an injunc-
ton against the members of the bak-
ers' union individually. The union
held a consultation with its lawyer
and is going to demand a counter
injunction.
But knowing that the courts are in
the hands of the master class, the un-
ion is not relying on injunctions to
win the strike. Mass meetings are be-
ing held and other unions in the food
industry are being appealed to.
The Amalgamated Food Workers
have announced that their members
will not handle any scab bread. This
is settled policy of that organiza-
ton, tho not affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. Local No.
of the Walters Union will refuse to
cut any bread that has not the union
label and local 544 of the Carpenters
Union voted not to purchase any nom
union made bread
Delegates from the Bakers Union
will bring the strike to the attention
of the Chicago Federation of Labor
next Sunday.
Sam Lipkin, the business agent who
was shot by boss gunner, is now we'll
and is energetically carrying on his
strike duties. The union proposes to
divide the work in the settled shops
among the members of the union.
The capitalist papers are carrying
advertisements for scabs, but there is
no response.

Detroit Women
Fight to Welcome
peace Special
BY SHERMAN BOWMAN.

THE HAGUE, Holland, June TO-
Committees of the Women's Interna
tional League for Peace and Freedom,
who are welcoming the Peace Special
in various cities of the country, are
learning something of what it means
to be a conscientious objector in war
time. The special train bears the for
eign women delegates to the recent
inte.i ational peace meet in Washing
ton.
In Detroit Col Burt Shurly, medical
reserve corps, commander Detroit
post, Military Order of the World War,
has written long letter to patriotic
societies urging them to join him in
defending Detroit against the invasion
of the Peace Special. He has writ
ten also to pastors urging them to re-
fuse to permit the visiting women to
speak from their pulpits.
The woman who was chairman of
the arrangements committee of the
local league committee resigned. She
is at the same time an organizer for
the Democratic party. The pastor of a
large church who had promised the
use of his pulpit said he had to with
draw his offer because his congrega-
ton would be split wide open if his
church were used.
But there were women left who
thought enough of peace to fight if
necessary, and the special will be well
coined.

German Praises
High Standard of
Art in Russia

BERLIN, June 10.-Art fiourishes
much more readily in the kindly con-
ditions offered by Soviet Russia than
anywhere in western Europe, reports
Alexander Moissi, the famous German
tragedian who has just returned from
playing an engagement in Moscow.
Business interests control the west
ern stage too completely, Moissi says.
while in Russia art is free from mer-
cenary corruption. The artists in
Russia really live for arts sake"
Suggestive plays such as those so
prevalent on the stages of Paris, VI
emma, London, and Berlin are not
found dominating the Russian theater.
Realistic drama is more favored
among the Russians. Moissi was ia
vorably impressed by the decency Of
production in Russia.

Reputed strength of the Khan bloc

POVERTY LEADS
. TOTRAGIC DEATH
OF THREE BOYS
HopeIessness Follows
Loss of Job
BY JOHN HARVEY.

Three boys, the oldest fifteen, died
by gas when their struggle to keep a
family of seven alive seemed almost
hopeless. The dead boys are John
Olesky, is years old, Stanley 10, and
Joseph, 10.
When the father of the boys died
some years ago and the family ceased
to provide a worker for the Pullman
bosses-the widowed mother and her
six children were forced to live as
best they could on scanty funds sup
piled by a city charitable organiza-
ton.
Drive Lad to Work.
But as soon as John became four
teen this insignificant aid was cut in
half and he was told to find work.
From this time the responsibility for
his poverty-stricken family hung
heavily upon this young boys shout
ders. When he lost his job and the
suffering of his family increased the
young boy lost hope. Other things
that added to the dependency of the
older boy were: a summons to court
and a threat that if he was not able to
find work he would be sent to a re-
form school.
Johns two younger brothers were
equally discouraged and saw ahead of
them nothing but the same hopeless
struggle to support large and hungry
family. Stanley, 13, had announced a
few days before that he was going to
quit school and look for job and due
to the straits the family had reached
his mother was forced to agree that
this was necessary.
Joseph Belonged to Y. w. L.
The youngest boy Joseph, 10, was
a member of the Pullman Junior Sec
ton of the Young Workers League
and John was thinking joining a
branch of the Young Workers League
which had just been formed
The Pullman Juniors feel the
tragedy painfully. They think that
If their comrade belonged to the
Young Workers League longer and
learned that there was an organized
fight against poverty and the Pull
man bosses, the boys would not have
become so respondent as to end their
lives.
