 But 1t Is not alone at Lenine's tomb the bolsheviks pay homage to his memory and works. Countless streets, villages, towns, railroad sta tons, and even newly-born chn- .dren have been named after him. In every store, restaurant, hotel, theater, museum, railroad station and even on locomotives and upon alrplanes high in the sky. one sees Autographs of the revolutionary leader. They are there, whether the occupants or observers like them or not. Lenllism, the communists would like to have one believe, has supplanted real religion in the minds of the people. which the government set out to exterminate.
 The visitors gaze Is met all over Russia by the image of Lenine. If his likeness Is not represented in plaster busts in every shop win dow In every town, 1t is found in the school books, on posters, in every government office, in public monuments, in cinema films, on postage stamps, in tourist souvenirs of Russia, His portrait is seen even on public lawns, ingeniously worked out in flowers and foliage. It probably will soon appear on Russian coins. It is already fur nace-blasted on household dishes and pottery.
 "Leninism" is as common in Rus sian terminology as Marxism, com munism or syndicalism. The sov- let authorities have seen to 1t that Russia's children are duly instruct- cd in the life and achievements of their first revolutionary head. They have just appropriated nearly s1,- 900, ,000 for the wider circulation of Lenine's writings among the popu- lation. They have set aside a huge sum for the erection of magniti- cent mausoleum of marble and bronze to supplant the present wooden tomb of the Father of Modern Russia" .Hg
 Today, seven months after Lenine passed to the unknown, the pile of green-stained wood that rests above his head in the heart of Moscow, "Mother of Russia" is the focus of all the ideals, hopes. and aspirations of Russian revolutionists. To the ret of Russia the mortal tenement of underwood, with it's mute oc- cupant, typifies only destructive epoch in Russia's thousand years of life.

DEAD, LEVINE STILL
 DOMINATES RUSSIA
Greater in Death Than in Life;
 Rules Russian Thought

Moscow, Sept. 1e.--Like so many other commanding figures in hisv tory Nicolai Lenlne, creator of Sow let Russia, is greater in death than in life. If the founder of the mod ern communist state has failed to become a 'yts" or saint" he has literally become, in the minds of the Russian bolsheviks, an idol of as great fame as Americas 2 Washington or Lincoln. Tn the cen- ter of Moscow's famous Red Square" Lenine lies mouldering in a frail wooden tomb, symbol to the bolshevik intelligence of the death of Russia's greatest rebel and of the renaissance of a new Rus sia.
 Throughout the day and night, within the walls of the Kremlin, as sacred to Russians of the mon- archial period as Lenine's tomb is dear to the heart of the commun- list, thousands of Russians who have embraced the soviet faith pass in silence before this strange mortu- ary chamber of cedar and oak and, without getting glimpse of the frail body within, stop to do rev. erence to its departed spirit.
 There are those of course, of the old Czarist regime. who look upon the wooden sepulchre as grim re- hinder. not of the death of a man, but of the destruction of the old Russia. It is to guard against any untoward demonstrations from such as these that guards are on duty at the tomb and behind the Krem- lin walls, ready with bayonets to suppress the slightest festure of in-

CONSPIRACY TO BLOCK EDUCATION
 IS CHARGED

Washington, July 4.-Existence of a united opposition to further development of American public schools, led by tax dodgers, heartless rich, big interests and an arrogant aristocracy," was asserted by J. w. Crabtree, secretary of the Ma tiona1 Education association, before a meeting of the associations conventio6 here today. Many leaders in education, he said, during the past year had felt the force of we'll organized tactics.
 ''It is now surmised," he declared, 'that some of the heartless interests are op- posing further development of education largely to keep taxes down to the mini mum, are making catspaws of some of those who offer objections from reli- gious point of view. If true that there is a connection of this kind and that an element Is being used" it will be de- fnitely known i'll due time and the con- nection will immediately become effec- tive"
 MT. Crabtree charged that "tax dodg- CTS are choking the life out of the schools in more than one community" and that ''big interests are working great injury to private schools in an attempt to prejudice them against the public schools.
 sThere IS a class composed of the money hearted rich and an arrogant ar istocracy," he added, which is violently +1,o ,Io of schools. This element is now receiving unexpected help. It has the active help of a fault finding group. The opposition to the policies of the association, as well as to the progress of the public schools, therefore comes from both extremes in society"
 A proposed resolution would urge the government to work for the establish ment of Cooperative tribunals" to re- gulate international relations with view to preventing war by securing from the civilized world a complete denunciation of war as a means of settlement of in ternational disputes.
 The nominating committees selection of Jesse H. Newton, superintendent of schools of Denver, for president of the association, along with a dozen nomina cers, including director of education for each state, went before the delegates, for approval today.
 The convention will close tomorrow following an address to the delegates by President Coolidge.

GARMENT TRADE STRIKE LIKELY
 IN METROPOLIS
Employers Asked to Agree to New Contract Suggested by Governor
 Smith Commission.

New York, July 4.-President Sigman of the International Ladies' Garment Workers Union announced early today that 5OO0O cloakmakers will go on strike tomorrow unless the Merchants Ladies' Garment Association agrees to the terms of new contract suggested by Cover nor Smiths arbitration commission. The employers at first rejected the recommer- dations of the commission when they were made public yesterday but finally asked for AS hours in which to make a final decision. It is expected that they will do SO today.
 The employers accepted the sugges- tions of the commission, calling for a minimum sized shop and unemployment insurance They rejected, however, the recommendation that no member of the association should deal in garments that do not bear~a union sanitary label. The employers contend that this would pre- vent them from dealing in garments made in non-union shops outside of New York city.

NO APPROPRIATION
 FOR E INSPECTORS
Smith-Cooper Bill Becomes a Law, But Fiibuster Stops $500,000
 Needed for Salaries.

Washington, July 5.-The Smith Cooper bill providing for Is addition al federal locomotive inspectors passed the Senate and House on the last day of the session, was signed by the Pres ident and Is now law. However, the $500,OO0 appropriation necessary to make the law effective at once failed to pass owing to the one-man hibus- ter conducted Tn the Senate against the oil committee investigation report by Senator Spencer of Missouri, and thus held up the deficiency appropria- ton bill containing this item.
 The Interstate Commerce Conmis- sion states that the additional inspec- tors can not be appointed until the next session of Congress, which meets in December, appropriates the funds necessary for payment of salaries.
 Director of the Budget Lord has ruled that the increased salaries for present employees of the locomotive in spection bureau, provided in the Smith Cooper bill, can be paid, beginning July l, out of the $30O,0OO regular appropria- ton for the bureau by increasing the monthly allowance until such time as Congress make up the deficit.

POSTAL WORKERS HOLD CONVENTION
 IN HOLYOKE
Presidential Veto Construed as Attack On Organized Labor-Connecticut
 Man Addresses Big Meet.

Holyoke, Mass, July 4.-At what was the first meet of postal clerks ir convention since the presidential veto of the salary bill, held last Sunday, the President was condemned for his ac- ton In overruling the favorable action taken by the representatives of the people in both houses of Congress. A much more drastic resolution urging the defeat of Coolidge was contem- plated but it. was the sense of the meeting that the individual members would know what to do on election day without them being urged. The reso- lution adopted was as follows:
 Whereas, the rec1assihcation postal salaries bill was passed by practically unanimous vote of both houses of Congress to become effective on July 1, 1924, and as this bill was but aIi act of long deferred and equally awaited justice to the postal employees; and as the Presidential veto on June 7, 1924, was an act of injustice, indefensible and showed a gross indifference to the need of the bill and the welfare of the postal employees. Be 1t
 Resolved, that we, the delegates at- tending the annual convention assem- bled in Holyoke, do hereby condemn the veto and further that we shall con- tinue as an organization to inform the public as to our working salaries and conditions, as we have done in the past and we shall use every honorable means to achieve our object by the enactment into law of the above men tioned postal reclassifcation bi1l.''
 There was no nistaking the individu- al trend of mind among the delegates. It was well expressed by one of the speakers, who said: Any postal work CT that votes for Coolidge is the prize American boob" Another delegate said: We may not have our Ameri- can citizenship rights to engage in politics, but we still have our ballot"
 Congressmen Treadway and Paige both attempted to defend the admin istration in its reactionary tactics but the stinging rebuke handed out i'll the above resolution showed that their pussy-footing was of no avail. The delegates particularly resented the statement of one of the administrator congressman to avoid killing the goose that lays the golden eggs" "We earn our money, we are not looking for charity" was the prevailing opin- ion.

LABOR SEEKS TO
 PREVENT STRIKES
Parliament Advances Councils Meas
 ure.

London, July 5.-A difference of opinion on legislation to safeguard against strikes in Great Britain has arisen between the trade unionists and the socialists in the Labor party. Pre- mier Macdonald has only reluctantly agreed to the second reading of the bill to facilitate the intervention of in dustrial councils in trade disputes.
 The bill is to promote concord by giving to the Minister of Labor power to initiate industrial councils for the investigation of disputes before they reach a wall1out or a lockout state, also to enable him, on the application of both parties, to make such industrial councils decisions binding.
 David Kirkwood, Labor member for Dumbarton, expressed the socialist view in declaring that the bill -"de signed to 1egalize wage slavery" The second reading was passed by an over whe1ming majority of 236 to 16 vote, but Miss Margaret Bondheld for the government said 1t would be necessary to amend the measure in committee, and especial1 wits provisions for pen a1ties for breach of agreement, as the labor ministry did not hold the time had come for an extension of compu1- sory powers.

COAL OWNERS DEFEATED; MINERS
 SECURE RELEASE
Charges of Treason and Murder Collapse as the Main Wit
 nesses Disappear.

Fayetteville, w. Va, July 5.-Coal owners have been defeated in their at tempt to railroad" officials of the Miners union to the penitentiary.
 Treason and murder charges against C. Frank Keeney, Fred Mooney and William Blizzard have collapsed.
 The prosecution told the circuit duced only negative results and that many material witnesses have disap- peared, making further action futile.
 The charges were based on the march of miners during the strike of three years ago. Infamed by the coal owners gun men, citizens formed mob to march into Logan county, the home of the gun men. Trade union their wild venture. In a state ?wide campaign the coal owners pictured the accused as riding at the head of thou sands of miners bent on overthrowing SOVCI lIC "C1C ul- dicted in Logan county, but they se cured change of venue from that center of union hate. To escape the coal owners poison propaganda they later secured venue changes from Nor gan and Greenbrier counties.
 The coal owners made no attempt to conceal their support of the prosecu- ton. Their attorneys directed the fight and their money made it possible to round up witness for the state.

SEAMEN PROTEST USE OF FARMERS ALMANTC"
 IN SAILING BRINY DEEP

Seamen are in revolt against what they term the most revolutionary change in navigation since an ad- venturer upon the briny deep first found his location by calculation. At sea the da ybegins at noon. It has always begun at noon. Now the governments of the Iwor1d are go- ing to make the day at sea begin when the land1ubber's day begins, in the middle of the night. The change has been ordered for next January 1. It has been adopted by Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the United States
 Petitions of protest have been signed by hundreds of ships officers and seamen, ranging from tramp steamers to the Leviathan.
 Its the work of astronomers who know nothing of practical naviga- tion," said one old sea dog. And the government landsmen officials simply say there is the new nauti- cal almanac; use it. It's not nau- tical almanac any longer. It's a farmers almanac. They may whip us, but we'll go down fighting"
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-07-05

Labor representatives led by Sam uel Gompers, were given every oppor- tunity to express their views which was as told in The Labor News last week in marked contrast to the treat ment received at the republican meet ing wheer they were cut off with the bare presentation of their policies and given no time to argue them. At the Cleveland convention which began yes terday, 1t is expected that Labor will also fare very well, some branches of Organized Labor leading in the move ment for the third party and the pos sibility that Warren s. Stone of the Engineers may be the vice-presidential nominee. The third party feeling runs high in the midwest and if a ticket is put up, as seems likely now on the failure of the democrats to readily agree, 1t may have great bearing on the final result in the elections even though it is in itself not successful.
 The fight for the nomination among the democrats has materially affected the chances of the party for success in the election. In overloaded New York, which is all bound up in the nomina- ton of Governor Al Smith, the del egates struggled and perspired through more than 65 ballots up to the hour

WOMEN IN INDUSTRY
 NOT TEMPORARY
Sixty Per Cent Have Worked for Three Years or Longer and Con
 tribute to Home Support.

Washington, July 5.-Figures on women in Alabama industries, issued by the federal women bureau, contra dict the theory that women wage earn CTS are for the most part young per sons who work for wages temporarily,
 Twenty-eight per cent of the women reporting were between 16 and 20 years old, 38.6 per cent between 20 and 30, and 28.9 per cent between 30 and 50.
 Sixty per cent of the women report ing had been working three years or longer 42 per cent, five years or long CT, and 22.3 per cent, 10 years or long CT in the trade in which they were occupied at the time of the survey.
 Because the idea persists that wom- en are in industry only during brief periods" says the report, there Is a marked tendency to put them at work at low skilled jobs where there IS ob- vious1y less economic advantage, less pressure to keep them from shifting to other jobs.
 Approximately 60 per cent of the women contributed all they made to the family income, 5 per cent contrib uted nothing financially, and 84 per cent had a definite and appreciable amount of work to do at home daily. These facts bear upon the need for limiting hours of employment and for discontinuing discrimination in wage rates on the vasis of sex"
 Alabama is one of the five states that make no attempt to control the hours of working women. Because the majority of the working women who were studied do home work, the report states that "it is particularly essential that the demands of their industrial employment be kept well within their supply of strength
