Youth of Russia Do
Not Go To School to
Squander Pin Money
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

TODAY all Indications that the Franks murder trial is
rapidly drawing to close Some relief!
But those who keep reading the yellow press will
nave nave Otne equally naussang sensations thrust before
in the social crimes Of his own decadent class.
For the working class it sufficient today to get ac
quainted with just two facts brought during whole
days proceedings These are First Nathan Leopold Jr
allowance was $4,000 per month
Mrs Catherine Fitzgerald for IS years private secretary
wrote the checks for Sbcke She said that DH %poe
wanted than the $4,000 she would merely ask the
father if it was all right" No doubt it usually was.
This matter carefully gone into effort show
that the two boys didn't need the money they
demanded OF the kidnapped and murdered boys father
Jake Loeb, the uncle, went on the witness stand and
said that Dckie had several Liberty bonds that he did
Loeb who president of the Chicago Board Education
fought wage raises for Chcagos school teachers practically
all OF whom TOLL in crowded. unsantary school rooms thru
dreay lives much less than the $4,000 per that
the 19-year-oId "Dckie" received
But Well-pad teachers, with leisure to study, would
make intelligent teachers, capable of mpartng real know
edge to the children of the working class And thinking
workers are danger to the capitalist social system for
which Jake" Loeb stands and which keeps million or two
"Dickies" in pin money
The thousands of girls and boys that start in at $40
and $12 per week. in the Sears Roebuck plant many
OF them getting further because they just "dumb
animals will miss the fact that they made possible for
Dicie to have his $4,000 per month"; now to enjoy
the thrill OF million dollar murder trial.
The DAILY WORKER has already shown that exactly
the same conditions prevail out at Morris, ILL., Practically
the entire youth of this country city toll in the Leopold
owned Morris Paper Mills at less than $40 weekly even the
hardest work being performed by young workers SIS and
$18 weekly, which only reaches about half of Nathans
allowance.
In the words of Foreman Leopold the brother of Nathan
we are told that Nathan got $2500 per allowance
that Nathans LAUNDRY and board and everything was
taken Of all Nathan had to do was study AND
SPEND HIS PIN MONEY!"
Thus the court records of this that one of
the duties OF the parasite youth of the capitalist des to
spend money made possible by the low of an ensaved
working class held in bondage just securely as any slave
class that preceded it.
The American subsidized press has often rdicued the
uxury-lacklng educational institutions under the Soviet
Regime IN Russia. The universities and colleges of Moscow
and Peogad in their eyes, do afford opportunities
TOR spending pin money that presented at Harvard
Yale, Cornell Rockefeler's University of Chicago and other
socaed institutions of learning these United States
TO be sure, in Soviet Russia, "How to Use Check

students must attend to their lessons they sent back
home to make way for others, who are willing to apply
themselves to the task of helping build the most intel
hgent nation OF people on earth.
Russian youth studying the way solve the problems
OF the Word-he problems of the workers of the world
ruling cassare applying themselves the task of spend
ing their fathers money coined of the slavery of the
great masses 80
1t is not difficult the Russian youth will helm
lead the young workers of all nations victory against
their oppressors. e
The social order that only produces Young Loebs and
LeoPoIds SPEND PIN MONEY is doomed to destruction
decay and gradual oblteraton
This IS todays lesson Of the Franks murder trial.
