Teachers And Labor
Unions Get Hearing
On Junior Highs

Organized labor joined with the Chi
cago Teachers Federation in demand
ing that both be given a hearing on
the subject of junior high schools be-
fore the school administration COM
mittee Of the board Of education. June
3 has been set for the hearing.
Victor Olander, secretary Of the H.
linois Federation of Labor, appeared
to protest for organized labor His
chief grievance was that the junior
high system will bring children out Of
school at the age Of Is instead Of Is,
as at present. The objection to this
is that the youngsters cannot go to
work until 16 and would be unable to
do anything in high school in one
year.
The teachers councils will send
speakers to the committee Of the
board on June to give their report
on the adoption of the junior high
system. The board of education has
been seriously criticised for passing
the measure establishing junior highs
without discussion between board
members and the teachers councils.

New York Teachers
Union To Establish
Experimental School


NEW YORK, May 23.-An oppor-
tunity for boys and girls to live their
own natural lives thru initiating and
executing their own purposes and
evaluating their own endeavors ac-
cording to their own standards, rather
than according to the standards of
adults" That is what public school
should be says the New York Teach
ers' Union. A plan for such an ex-
perimental school was submitted to
the New York board of education by
the eighth annual meeting, American
Federation Of Teachers, local 5, New
York.
The school will be housed in an
existing school building, and support
ed by the board for five-year expert
ment subject to renewal, If the board
accepts the unions plan. Glasses are
to be limited to 20 pupils with six
classes the first year and ten the
second. Only children from 4 to 6
years old are to be taken in at first.
Instead of supervision by princi-
pal or district superintendent, quail
tfied board or visitors OF the public
school system is to observe and re-
port upon the work, according to the
proposal
Failure Of the present traditional
curriculum and method of education"
lis responsible for the proposal, the
report states. 1.-THE individual is
made receptacle for information and
an automaton by the artificial discip-
line of drill as an end in itself. the
school itself discourages the growth
of individual and social standards of
sincerity and honesty" The report
goes on to attack the speeding-up
system, rigid curriculum, and the
emphasis on discipline and regimen

audit OF the accounts for relief,
given out during the last strike
in January of this year, which
was handled by the provisional
officers.
While the miners are willing to
pay the $111,OOO owing for relief they
insist upon a strict accounting for the
money expended. The convention
was unanimous in the decision to
stay inside the United Mine Workers
of America while at the same time,
continuing the fight against the Lewis
machine.
Lewis Betrayal.
This convention, convened by the
rank and file Of the miners union, is
the outcome Of the traitorous actions
Of Lewis last July when he cancelled
the district charter and deposed the
district officers because the miners
had struck as a protest against use
Of troops by the Canadian govern
ment against the striking steel work
ers of Sydney. Since last July the
district had been under the dictator
ship of Lewis appointees. Last Feb
ruary these appointees signed a new
wage contract with the British Empire
Steel Corporation which was rejected
by the miners in a referendum vote
because Of the slavish terms with
which the corporation sought to
shackle them.
Time and again the miners of Nova
Scotia have demanded the restora-
ton of their autonomy with no re-
suit. At the convention of the United
Mine Workers of America, held last
January, Lewis was upheld in his
policy toward District 26 after he had
lied about the situation and slandered
the leaders Of the miners. The recent
convention was called by the rank and
file to discuss the situation.
10000 Miners Represented.
Forty-seven delegates attended,
representing the 10000 miners in the
district The most important matter
discussed was the question of autono-
my for the district. Every delegate
took part in the discussion, and the
discussion showed how solid is the
opposition to Lewis and his machine
among the miners here. While de-
nouncing Lewis and his actions
against the district no one advocated
breaking away from the United Mine

100000 GERMAN
MINERS LOCKED
OUT; NEED help
N. Y. Confers Sunday
For Workers Aid

NEW YORK, May 2S.-Eight HIM
dred thousand miners locked out in
Germany, states cable from the Ber-
lin office of the International Work
ers' Relief just received by the Com
mittee for International Workers
Aid. The cable contains an urgent
appeal-aid is needed Immediately,
money must be rushed.
The first answer in this country to
this call from the embattled workers
of Germany is the calling of the New
York Conference OF the Committee
for International Workers Aid to take
place Sunday, May 25th, at the Labor
Temple, 243 East saith street, at which
about 300 delegates are expected,
representing trade unions, fraternal
organizations and workers political
organizations, principally the Work
ers' Party.
Bedacht Tells Of Work.
Max Bedacht will come from Chi
cago to report for the national office
of the Committee for International
Workers Aid on German relief activi-
ties. He will give detailed data on
how many American soup kitchens
have been contributed by the Com
mittee. how many children have been
cared for, what has been accomplished
directly thru the relief work Of the
Committee for International Workers
Aid.
The Conference will take up the
new situation developed in Germany
as a result of the locking out Of the
miners, and the terrible plight of the
working class of Germany lighting
against the great host of enemies.
Ways and means will be devised for
carrying on the work SO that it will
not lag in the summer, for the work
ers Of Germany must eat in summer,
too.
Aid All Class War Prisoners.
The Committee for International
Workers Aid is about to broaden its
activities to include Red Aid. Thou
sands of fighters in the class war are
kept in dark prisons by the terrorist
regime of capitalist relationships all
over the world. Workers of all shades
of political opinion are thrown into
these dungeons the moment they
show any sign Of revolt against the
tyranny and cruelty of the ruling
class. The wives and children of
these class war prisoners are in dire
need, and the Committee for Interna-
tional Workers Aid will exert itself
in their behalf.

PHOENIX, Ariz.--So completely has
labor been ignored in the eleventh
anniversary and the Arizona develop
ment edition Of the Arizona Labor
Journal that were the union label and
the word Labor" omitted it could
easily pass for publication Of the
Chamber Of Commerce. From it the
reader might imagine that labor play
ed no part in the development of the
state or its industries.
Among the leading contributors to
this edition Of the Labor Journal
which is attractive both in makeup
and material, is the president of the
Arizona Industrial Congress, the big
business organization which made
an attack on the state constitution
two years ago intending in the name
of economy" to strip it of every
vestige Of liberalism which had been
written into it largely thru the eff
forts Of organized labor.
Black BIsbee Gets Praise.
Bisbee, the black scar on labor's
map, the town from which 1900 men,
mostly members of the A. F. Of L.,
were herded together into cattle cars
and deported into the desert in July,
1917. by a vigilance committee" COM
posed of business men. OF Bisbee we
are told by the secretary Of the Cham
Der of Commerce of that city, zone
would have to look for long time to
find such rare combination of living
and working conditions as are found
in the Bisbee district. Working
conditions in the mines here are the
envy Of other districts. Over 80
per cent of the workmen are Ameri-
can citizens"
What the writer does not tell US is
that Bisbee is still a scar, that its
wonderfully rich mines are operated
by scab labor and that the working
conditions which are the envy Of other
districts are envied most by mine
owners.
So completely has the Chamber of
Commerce and allied organizations of
business men triumphed in Bisbee
that efforts to reorganize the district
have been unsuccessful
Another contributor is the secretary
Of the Phoenix Chamber Of Commerce,
the organization which sponsored the
open shop movement in Arizona. In
a referendum recently the members of
this organization voted to promote
and sustain the open shop movement
in Phoenix.
Nor are our friends. the bankers,
overlooked in this issue. They are
represented by the president of the
Arizona. Bankers Association and
others.
Sammy VS.. Soviet.
In order that business may see just
how safe the labor movement is, there
are such articles as Labor Hostile to
Radicalism," by ]. A. Sisson, and
"Why Labor Opposes Soviet Recogni-
tion," by Samuel Gompers..
From progressive labor paper
supported by the labor unions and the
Socialist party ten years ago, the La
Dor Journal has today become ultra
conservative and is supported only
by the most conservative unions. The
Journal supplies little news of inter
est to the labor movement, it con-
dennis everything that Gompers con-
dennis and it is gradually wiping out
its debts thru advertising which it is
able to secure from the business men
on account of its conservative stand.

STEEL SITUATION
 SHOWS NO CHANCE
Production Further Curtailed And Prices Barely Steady

NEW YORK, July 5.-Little if any real Improvement has developed in the steel situation during the past week. There has been light buying here and there which some thought indicated a better feeling, but, on theAwhole, the demand has been below normal, and prices ruled rarely steady. Production has been further curtailei and most oi the mills clused down from Thursday until Monday. The demand for pig iron was Q1iet and prices were easy.
 Copper has remained quiet. The tone was steadied by rallies in London and reports of m increased export inquiry toward the end of last week, but .com. paratively little acutal business re- suited and advances abroad have not been fully maintained, No improvement has been reported in the demand for finished products and buyers are still holding off. As producers are not press. ing sales. however, prices are steady around the 1215 cent level. >
 Tin was higher but the steadiert tone was due more to reluctance to sell than to enlargement in the demand.
 Lead was not quotably changed but the tone was slightly easier. While cable makers have made fsome good purchases, the current inquiry is mainly for carlots. KY.
 Zine ruled firm; with a little better consuming demand for prompt ship. ment, and some export inquiry.
 Anthony was shade easier. Spot demand was dull, but more interest was shown in futures.
