s-Hour Day In Sweden.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden.-Since the
introduction OF the eight hour day in
Sweden, there has been great In
crease in educational work among the
workers. A government commission
on social questions, which inves.
tigated educational work in 95 local..
ties reports that in 1857. only 13s
classes were held by the peoples
colleges. BY 1s2O-21 this number had
risen to els, and by 1929 to 84b.

board of FIVE members who shall in
vestigate and pass on all applications
for pensions" All mention Of the pen
sion board was erased from the re-
port AS submitted to the referendum,
the pension will call for monthly pay
ments of $25 per month to miners over
65 years old who have been In the
miners union for twenty years.
Says Industry Should Pay.
Delegate Freeman Thompson, the
Springfield sub-district president, de-
clared that the discussion on the com
mittees report showed how the hands
Of the miners are tied. "Of course,
we must do something for the men
when they get old" Thompson told
the delegates. Everyone is for an
old age pension. But the distributing
of old age pensions by the miners is
not a cure. Something else should
go along with the giving out Of the
old age pension. In the future we will
have to consider unloading this bur
den on the coal mining industry where
It belongs"
Referendum Forced.
The first amendment to the report
of the committee on old age pensions
provided for referring the report to
a referendum. The committee OPP
posed this, but after delegate Henry
Corbishley pointed out that the rank
and file, who must pay for the PEN
sion. do not, as yet. know anything
about it. and that there was no known
reason for the committee to be
afraid Of submitting it to the rank and
Ale. the referendum amendment car
ried.
A motion by Delegate Gus Fritz
that the report be amended to read
that the miners over 65 years of age
be paid not more than twenty-five dol
lars a month carried.
AS the plan worked out by the con-
vention goes TO the rank and file
referendum, IL is not complete pen
sion plan. as only those miners above
SIS who have been in the Illinois min
ers' union for twenty years, the last
ten years being continuous member
ship, are entitled to a pension.

Negroes May Turn

Protest Over Khan

NEW YORK, Nav 25.--The slump
tion in Indiana is such that officials
of the National Association for Ad-
vancement of Colored People, New
York, recognize that negroes are
ready for a strong bid from La Fol-
lette or third party. Reports indi-

LONG HOURS and
POOR PAY is LOT
OF FOOD SLAVES
Work From Sun To Sun
And Then Some

Restaurant workers work from sun
to sun,-and then some" Their
work is never done. When one rush
is over the restaurant worker pre-
pares for the next rush.
His hours are long, his pay poor
and the conditions under which he
works worse. That is why the work
ers in the Greek restaurants in Chi
cago are joining the Amalgamated
Food workers Union. They want an
organization that can negotiate with
the bosses.
The bosses have an organization.
They use it to fight the workers with.
They went into court 40 strong and
asked for an injunction. The injunc-
ton was an attempt to brighten the
union into abandoning their plans for
the benefit Of the workers. So far it
hasn't worked. The workers see the
need Of a strong labor union to deal
with the union of the Greek bosses
and are signing up with the union.
The prayer the Greek restaurant
keepers submitted to the Judge ask
ing that the injunction be issued al
lodged that conditions in their places
were ideal. The workers were happy
and contented. said the bosses. Read
ing the prayer one would imagine
that the workers spent considerable
time every day in singing and dancing
their thanks to the bosses for the
fine conditions under which they
work.
Unionists Know Truth
The members Of the union however
know the truth. They get it not from
the bosses lawyers prayers but
from the workers in the restaurants
themselves.
Long hours are the first grievence
the workers have. The bosses in the
Greek restaurants usually work them
selves. They work long irregular
hours and expect their workers to do
the same. The working day is sup
posed to be twelve hours. It is al
ways longer. The boss asks his
slaves to stay to help him over the
supper rush if he is a day worker
and asks his help over the break
fast rush If he is a night worker.
Greeks ovsrwork Slaves
The workers in Greek restaurants
are always overworked. The bosses
try to run with short crews and make
up the lack Of workers by slave driv-
ing methods.
The wages are poor. Always the
bosses make great point Of the fact
that workers in restaurants can work
for less because they get their meals.
But the restaurant workers must eat
in such rush that they soon feel the
effects.
Working with the smell OF food con-
stantly in their noses the workers
conceive disgust at the mere sight
or smell Of 1t. All Of them are victims
Of nausea.

on constitutional changes from the

the Peoria papers, has had these reso-
buttons in his possession for the past

There is also a resolution on the
adjustment OF sub-districts, and other
important changes in the constitu-

They have been printed in pamphlet
form for ten days, and few of the
favored Harrington men have obtained
copies Of them. But they have not
yet been distributed to the delegates.

in the disposition OF Farringtons ap-
