$4,000 LOSE
PENNSYJOBS
SINCE JULY
December Saw 26, 1856 Laid
OFT Work

More than $4,000 employees
Of the Pennsylvania railroad
have been laid off since July
>=hen there were 250,312 on
the carriers pay rolls.
The greatest reduction in
any one month came in Deem
Der when 26,1S5 were laid off.
Since Dec. 10, 1850 have been
turned out to look for a job at
a time when there are consid-
erably more applicants than
jobs.
The layoffs in December
have hit shop employees par
ticularly hard meaning a reduction
Of more than 25 per cent in shop
operations.
The present payroll Of 2O5,017 is
below that of year ago when the
road employed 229,831 workers in all
departments. Reduction in the num-
Der of employees is explained by the
management on the ground that traf-
fic has steadily declined since the
middle Of 1923. But there are good
grounds for. believing that the shop
layoffs have been heavier than war
ranted by reduced business, for the
roads percentage of bad order freight
cars has risen from 3.99s in July to
5.4To in November, the latest month
for which reports are available.
The Pennsylvania has also allowed
its locomtives to get so out Of repair
as to endanger the lives of engine
crews and passengers. Within the
month east bound express trains
have been delayed for hours because
interstate commerce commission in
spectors condemned as unsafe loco
motives about to pull the trains over
divisions in the Indiana region. The
inspectors ordered so engines out of
service at Fort Wayne alone. All
Of which shows the extent to which
an anti-labor management is willing
to let its equipment run down in or
der to add to the winter unemploy-
ment.
Such figures indicate the insecur-
ity of job which will characterize en-
ployment so long as absentee owners
are considered as having more rights
than the men who actually make rail-
road operation possible. And in the
railroad industry the Pennsylvania,
which has talked loudest about the
desirability Of getting back to the old
family" relationship between en-
ployes and management, makes the
earliest and most drastic reductions
in force.
The right of man to his job has
evidently not been tackled by After
bury's company union.

COMPANY SLEW
SO MINERS, SAYS
CORONER'S JURY
Illinois Horror Laid to
Crerar-Clinch Door

J Q H N S I o N CITY, Ill.-The
Crerar-Clinch Coal company is direct
ly responsible for the deaths of the
33 coal diggers slain in the terrific
gas explosion last Friday.
That is the verdict of the coroner's
jury which has been hearing evidence
in the case The verdict corroborates
the correspondent Of The DAILY
WORKER VINO told of reports of
neglect Of safety precautions by the
mining company.
Danger signs had been removed
from the places where the explosion
! occurred, the jury discovered. The
explosion was caused by a squeeze
anda fall of coal in an old working
Witnesses testified the company
ignored the hazards which lay in the
cid workings that so often are ac-
cumulating places of the deadly gas.
With the extracting of all the readi-
ly mined coal from the workings the
company officials lost all interest in
them and occupied themselves only
in exploitation Of other workings, in
stead Of regarding the abandoned
entries and workings as sources OF
danger against which the miners
must be protected.
Intense Indignation is felt in Will
hanson county. The expose of the
company's criminal carelessness has
aroused more bitterness than any
thing since the attempt of the en-
blcying interests to hang the miners
at Herrin, only a few miles away.
Il hirty-three lives have been
shufled out just because the company
didn't care enough about the mems
safety to spend the pittance neces-
sary to safeguard them" said a
union miner.
IF this is not murder 1 would like
to know what is"
The spell Of the tragedy still
hangs over the community for near
~ everyone was connected in one
way or another with the dead. Now
the survivors find that their dear
ones were sacrificed on the altar Of
the greed and Indifference of the
mine operators.

RIVER Gets LAD
BARRED OUT OF
CROWDED SCHOOL
Youngster Victim of
Vicious System

While the police were preparing to
dynamite the river in an attempt to
recover the body Of Sidney Sherman,
6 years old, who was drowned while
playing on the ice in the Chicago riv-
err, near Lawrence ave. and Argyle
St., his mother stood by and cried
Historically. "If Sammy could have
been in school he would not have
drowned. We tried to send him but
there wasn't room. He is dead. He
IS dead"
Tuesday Sammy Sherman and two
playmates went from home to play
They wandered to the river and play
ed on the banks. Sammy, older and
bolder than the other two, ventured
out on the ice. The ice broke and
before help could be called he had dis
appeared. Efforts of police to locate
his body had failed up to late hour
yesterday afternoon.
Hundreds Turned Away.
Sammy's parents had sent their son
to the Hibbard school 3244 Ainslie
st. last September, but he was re-
fused admittance because there was
not enough room. Hundreds of other
young children have been turned
away from the Hubbard school be-
cause of lack of room.
Sammy Sherman's death and the
crowded condition Of the Hibbard
school was blamed on the board of
education authorities by Chester C.
Dodge, principal of the Hibbard
school last night.
"The business department of the
school board thinks of nothing but
how they can save a few pennies"
he said.
"In two years our high school at
tendance has increased from 700 to
1,400. The capacity of the school is
only LAO, and yet we have 2,100
elementary pupils besides the 1,400
high school students. There are as
many children waiting for a chance
to get into kindergarten as there are
now in classes.
Promises Broke.
SIM tired. I'm sick. All day 1
have been at the board rooms plead
ing for more space, more room.
LAST vacation time they promised
to give US portables and additions, to
be ready two months ago, at the
latest. But nothing has been done.
When we returned in September we
found things as we had left them in
June.
Repeatedly, / have pleaded. The
Kiwanis Club and the Parent Teach
ers' organization have pleaded. But
nothing has been done. There are
as many children on our waiting list
as there are in kindergarten classes"
Daniel Burns, business manager Of
the board Of education said that the
statements of Dodge that he had ask
ed for portable school buildings to
add to the facilities Of the Hibbard
school was not true.

She had just finished telling in

"Her voice faded and faltered
One felt the concentration of will
with which she controlled it. She
spoke to the end before turning from
the tribune.
"The orchestra played a revolu-
tionary dirge. 1t ceased and there
was a moments silence. Then her
voice began and the whole of that
immense congregation sang the
words Of the dirge. Tears ran down
peoples faces as they sang, and long

Worker Commits
Suicide In C. ell:
Victim of Poverty

OAKLAND, Calif.-For fifty years
Samuel O'Donnel of Oakland had
been honest and upright. He had
worked hard for his wife and five
children, but illness caught him and
finally the little family was down to
one meal day, with often none at
all for the parents, while the sick
father looked in vain for work. He
had been buying the humble home,
and $1,000 was paid on it, with
the furniture nearly paid for as well.
But he could pay no more, and the
mortgage was threatening to fore
close so that they would lose all.
O'Donnel did desperate thing.
He set fire to the house to get the
insurance. The oil-soaked rags were
discovered and he was arrested on
charge Of arson. Two weeks later
he confessed the whole pathetic tale.
Sympathetic officials had recommend
ed probation. But the disgrace and
shame were too much for O'Don-
mel. The other night he sent for

For the BEST People"

The Stewart school is located at
Kenmore avenue near Broadway in
the heart Of the Wilson Avenue dis
trict. It's building is large four
story brick, erected in 1906 just as
the Wilson Avenue district was be-
coming "choice residential sec
ton" The building stands in the
center of large lot, permitting light
to come in from all sides. The win
dows are large Intersection affairs
which are excellent for ventilation
as well as light.
The assembly room is a large
place with stage, opera chairs and
a balcony. It seats over 400. There
are bath rooms which are light and
airy. The gymnasium is well
equipped. There are rooms for
manual training, cooking, science and
other special classes. all with equip
ment Of the best. There is also a
room and equipment for a sewing
class.
The toilet facilities are of the
best and most modern sort. In the
basement there is large, clean play
room for the pupils to use on cold
and rainy days. The basement in
this school is well lighted by win
dows that cover nearly half the wall.
The stairways and halls are fire.
proof, light and wide. The class
rooms are also large and fireproof.
The influence of the fine equipment
and light, airy building can be seen
on the children and their teachers,
They seem to take more interest
in their studies and look brighter
and more alive than the children whe
attend school in old dilapidated build
ings.
Fine Sprinkler System.
There is a sprinkler system in
the Stewart school. In every room
and all parts of the halls, there are
outlets which would turn on water
if even the smallest fire started.
There are 80 rooms with 1,72t
seats and about the same number
of pupils in the school. There are
as teachers including those who
teach special classes.
The entire building equipment and
the attitude of the teachers is an
example Of what a public school
can be.
