UNEMPL OYMENT
TAKES BIG JUMP
SINCE NOVEMBER
Cities In Illinois Are Hit
Hard

Unemployment increased during
November and now exists 'in sub
stantial degree" in every Illinois city
with the exception of Rockford, &C
cording to a report just issued by the
Illinois department of labor. "The ex
pected pickup in industry has not vel
materialized to the extent of affecting
the volume of employment in the fac
tories of Illinois," the report declares
Thousands Out Of Work.
September, October and Novem
Der, the usually busy months, have
passed without resulting In any sub
stantisl restoration of the jobs D.
those thrown out of work by the de
cision Of business that set in more
than one year ago. Illinois industries
generally react in December and
January and this period of perennial
slowing down we now face, with many
thousands already out Of work."
The majority of the principal cities
of Illinois did not expand during No
vember, according to the department
Of labor; report. At the Illinois free
employment Offices during November
there were 140 persons registered fol
each 100 jobs as compared to 1879 reg
istered for each 100 jobs in October
and 131 registered for each 100 job:
in November 1923. The number o.
those placed in jobs available fell t.
1851, which is the smallest place
ment for November in five years witt
the exception of 1921, when only s,72.
were placed in jobs.
In Chicago, according to these fig
ures there are 156 people to every 1OC
jobs.
Mining Operations Go Down.
Contrary to expectations Of business
men, the mining operations were re
duced in November as compared tc
the month of October. The same
number of employees at work in No
vember as in October received 1O.C
per cent less earnings in November
than in October. This was decline
in average weekly earnings from
$36.17 to $297S.
Building permits issued in Novem
Der increased in value two million
dollars over those issued in Novem
Der of last year. There was a SHARP
decline in building permits thru the
country as whole, both as compared
to October Of this year and November
of last year.

TEACHERS union
UR GES SCHOOLS
TRY new METHODS
Urges One Experimental
School First

NEW YORK, Dec. IA plan foi
an experimental school within the
New York City school system has
again been laid before the board Of
education by the Teachers Union, 10.
cal Is, American Federation of Teach
ers, affiliated with the American Fed.
Grafton Of Labor. The proposal for
the unusual new school was FIRST sent
to the board in May. The board re-
piled upon recommendation Of the sup.
erintendents that the proposed or.
ganization would be contrary 70
law" because the director OF the
school would be chosen by an advis.
DRY board most OF whose members
would be outside the public school
system.
Not Controlled by Old oMieIags.
The proposed experimental sehOsi
would do away with most Of the con.
ventional equipment Of the public
school. according to the outlined plan
issued in pamphlet form by the Teach
srs' Union, 20 Fifth Ave-, New York
City. The teachers would be specially
trained or selected, and not supervised
by the regular school officials.
The school would let children leaxu
by living rather than by mastering
formal texts and lessons. The chm.
dren would teach themselves with a
minimum Of direction, the school fur.
nishing adequate material for the chill.
dren to work with. The Teachers
Union suggests that a moderately
crowded district where the children
Of more than one racial stock will at.
tend the school, would be advisable.
Children Of four to six would first be
taken, in classes Of not more than 90
each, and each year additional young
children taken into the school.
Present System Mechanical.
President Linville Of the teachers
says teachers in the public school sys.
tenn are becoming interested in the ex-
perimental idea for education as the
present system attempts to justify
itself by becoming more mechanically
perfect by burdening the teachers
with still more activities, such As
clubs. Parents also seem receptive.
Because Of the crowded conditions in
schools. more parents have had t,
sent their children to private schools
and many have discovered experimen
tai schools which are successfully op-
Grating.

BUILDING WORK
SHOWS BIG DROP
IN ONE MONTH
Permits Decrease Is Per
Cent Since October

Building permits filed in the
country in November showed sharp
decline as compared with the value
Of such permits filed in the same
month in 1923, according to Dun's re
view, which has just been published
The decrease from Oct, 1924 is six.
teen per cent.
"This a larger reduction that oc-
CURED in November of last year,
says Dun's Review, land the aggre.
gate value of such permits is II per
cent less than that for the same period
in 1923.
Until October Records High.
The drop in the November building
records in the entire country as a
whole is significant because the build
ing records in former months have
been slightly higher than in CORE
spending months Of 1928. Until Oct.
in the country as a whole building
records had maintained or slightly ex.
ceeded the 1923 record.
New York City until November kept
the building records of this year up to
last years record. In New York
building was higher, month by month
in 1924 than corresponding months OF
1923. In the entire country outside of
New York, however, building for 1924
has slumped below the 1928 records.
November Shows Decided Slump.
During November, New York, the
mainstay of the building activity this
year, took decided slump, and conse-
quently the building for November il
decidedly below building for November
1928 both in New York City and the
country as whole.
Permits in November called for
construction work to cost $3.50, soc
as compared to $217 1855, 300 in Novem.
Der last year.
In the central western states, in.
Guiding Chicago, the 1923 building fig.
ures were slightly surpassed, but no
enough to compensate for the slumI
in other parts Of the country. In No
vember, 1924, building permits, issued
in the central west were valued al
$50, 4S5,S00 while permits collected
from the same cities in November
1928 were valued at $62,O92,O0O.
Building permits issued in the south
fell off in value more than $4,000, OOO
in November this year compared to
the same month last year. Decreases
also occurred on the Pacific coast
usually booming center and the mid
dle-Atlantic section which includes
New York. New England building per.
mits were two million dollars higher
this November than last.
In New York City this November
the permits were valued at S44,ss2 900
q startling drop from the $7O,541, ACC
registered last November.

and in every conceivable nook and cor
ner in the old shack. There are no
facilities for cleanliness anywhere
even the laundry in the basement of
this horrible place is inadequate to
meet the most dire needs.
The employees around this living
hell get $50 a month without any
days off and they work IL hours

hole, plaster drops upon them from

facts are released by the Finnish
newspaper, "Eteenpain."
When the horror of white terror be-
came less severe, the workers started
to reorganize. The white government
wanted to prevent this, and with the
aid Of secret police, "ochrana," drive
against the preparation of a new
revolution" was started. All party
organs were suspended and the print
ing plants confscated. All the lead
ing members of the newly organized
party were sent to prison.
White Terror Continues.
Even at the present time a huge
drive against the revolutionary work
ers is going on. "Ochrana" wants
money for its maintenance, and wish
ing to show the respected" people
the importance of it's existence, it has
started a new drive against the reds
under the pretext that new, illegal,
underground movement has been or
ganized. The few party organs that
succeeded in freeing themselves from
the confiscation report many new per-
secutions.
This cannot discourage the work
ers of Finland. But their struggle is
overwhelming-wit without the aio Of fell
low workers who are in a more for
tunate position. Without the funds,
the workers of Finland cannot de-
fend their prosecuted comrades and
support the families of political pris-
oners. Twelve hundred workers are
in prison today. And the need for
funds is urgent.
Prison conditions in Finland are
notorious. Many appeals have come
from the jails and prison camps,
where imprisoned workers slowly Ian
guish and die. The workers of the
world cannot allow this to continue.

Militant Workers Are

ASfCSidN " tUC 6oiJ WS'Nc't
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Dec. IA.
Detective agencies are active
here preying upon the workers,
earning big profits by manufac-
turing fake "red scares" and
permeating the industries with
spies who are paid to talk
against unionism.
Some of the agencies have
sent out letters to the employ
ers, boasting about their meth
DDS of having employees who be-
long to unions uncovered and
discharged.
The Howard w. Russell secret
service" agency, in the Caswell block
here, has sent out letters begging
to be allowed to infest the industries
with stool pigeons in order to aid
the employers in keeping down the
standard of living by firing union men.
Careless, Indifferent, disloyal, and
dishonest employees may be preying
on you and skillfully covering their
tracks so it is difficult for you to de-
tect Them" says the letter sent out
by the finks.
when your employees seem to be
satisfied and faithful, look out! Silent
subtle forces may be undermining
your business" the dispenser of stool
pigeons writes. Suddenly and unex-
pectedly something might happen that
will eat a big hole in your profits.
Successful conduct Of your business
may depend upon more accurate
knowledge Of conditions prevailing
among your workers"
The letter is signed by Walker c.
Russell, secretary-treasurer Of the spe-
cializers in scabs and stool pigeons.
