FEAR MEMBERS
MAYR EJECT
/ BARBER AWARD
Officials Suppress All
Opposition

At the last meeting Of Local 64S
Of the BARRIERS Union in Chicago, the
members we're dumbfounded at the
high-handed methods Of their officials.
The officials showed they would stop
, at nothing to put thru their policies.
Roberts Rules of Order, the interna-
tional constitution and fair play we're
shamelessly disregarded and the union
cars enforced their rule with an iron
hand. 4E
The vice-chairman Of the meeting,
after raising a point of order against
an amendment, upon meeting an APP
peal from the decision Of the chair.
absolutely refused to put the ques-
ton of sustaining the chair to vote
Of the members. And he was the one
who had made the point OF order!
He would allow no one else the floor.
And why was he so frightened at the
amendment?
Fear Membership May Rule.
The amendment simply proposed
that the agreement on wages and
hours be left up to the rank and file,
which was to be called in to a meet
ing for the ratification or rejection
Of the award handed down by the
arbitrator. The officials evidently
thought that was terrible thing, so
they suppressed ruthlessly the strong
support given the amendment by the
rank and file members present.
Turnout the dispute for better con-
ditions the left wing members of the
Progressive BARRIERS Group in the
union have repeatedly pointed out
that arbitration always works for the
bosses and against the workers. The
bosses now say they are satisfied with
the award. The militant rank and filers
demand that the membership shall
have the final say-so as to accepting
or rejecting conditions under which
they, and not the officials, shall work.
The members shall continue to de-
mand this right until they get it.
@ Invited to Meetings.
The aim Of the Progressive BARRIERS
Group is to educate the workers in
the craft and show them how to win
their struggles. The group is giving
a series of lectures at a time and
place to be announced later in the
DAILY WORKER. Every interested
barber should write to /. Eitingon,
1928 N. Artesian avenue, for informa-
ton as to coming meetings and lee
lures.

appeared in a recent issue of the Chi
cago Fur Worker, which is published
by Chicago Fur Workers Union Local
No. 45. aini
THE Chicago Fur Worker says that
l. the workers: should become
thoroly acquainted with their own
class problems as such and the new
ways that have been opened in the
world for the true welfare of man
kind" The writer goes on to say that
the study of Marx is essential, as this
study would supply them with the key
for proper understanding of the re-
lations between capital and labor.
TNHE writer takes = slam at the
4 American labor leaders who have
no sympathy with working class edu-
cation that stresses the class strug-
gle. Working class education shall
begin first, last and always with Marx,
If 1t shall ever get somewhere" Quite
true, but it should not finish with
Marx. The study of Marx should be
followed by the study of Lenin and
Leninism, the Marxism of the final
stage of capitalism. The Chicago Fur
Worker deserves an approving slap on
the back for it's words on workers
education. 1t may consider it slap
ped.
MORE news from Bulgaria and more
4'A correctly about Bulgaria. The
DAILY WORKER correspondent in
London thinks it quite possible that
Zankov may draw a sharp blade
across the royal thyroids of King
Boris, or hit him in the region of his
pituitary gland with a sledge. We
are not losing any sleep over the
kings fate, but every worker should
be concerned over the fate Of the Bull
garian workers and peasants. The
capitalists are standing solidly be-
hind the murder regime and have
allowed zankov to raise 1000 more
troops. Thousands of workers and
peasants are being butchered, yeti
there is not squeak OF protest from
the capitalist press.
JOSIAH wEDGwOoD, labor member
y Of the British parliament declared
that Communists are outside the law
in Bulgaria. The secret service had
list Of Communists and the military
authorities took over this list and ar
rested all who could be found. Over
six thousand were taken into custody
in Sofia alone inside of a few days
and Of this number ESQ have been
executed, said Wedgwood. The pris-
oners were taken out in lorry loads
and murdered outside the city. Before
they were executed the prisoners were
tortured, bastonati (beating of the
feet with sticks) being resorted to.
This is what Wewdwood reports. He
was In Sofia when the explosion took
place. He is a moderate laborite and
cannot be accused of being predis.
posed in favor OF the Communists.

day turned on Bulgaria. The reaction
airy labor leaders who dominate the
unions in Central Europe could halt
the hands OF the Zankov murderers
within twenty-four hours II they only
had the will. AS II is, they are in
hearty sympathy with the policy OF
execution and assassination which has
made the present Bulgarian regime
thing OF horror. Only the section OF
the labor movement under the In
fiuence and leadership OF the Com
munist International Is taking steps
TO put an end to the bloody reign OF
the zsnkov man killers.

DU POINT MONEY

Delaware Teachers Fired

!, WILMINGTON, Del, April 24.-At
a methodist episcopal church confer
ence attended by 240 ministers of the
state, Pierre S. Dupont, of the pow
der trust, was the principal speaker.
The ministers praised DUPONT and
obsequiously alluded to his millions
of dollars.
Dupont showed that he and the
DUPONT Powder company's money
are behind the new law which recent
ly passed the state Legislature max
ing virtual slaves out of the teachers
and forcing the school children Of
Delaware to undergo religious instruc-
ton.
Law compels Doping.
The law compels the reading Of at
least 1--WE verses Of the bible each day
in the public schools. For the first
failure to comply with this law the
teacher is fined $25. For the second
"offense" the teachers certificate is
E6VOkcu, anu sue 40 uA5HAASocus MANY
of the teachers have objected to this
forcible doping of the students.
1.-THE legislature has passed a law
compelling teachers to read the bible
in the schools" DUPONT told the
teachers. 1T would be better that she
would become so imbued that she
would want to read It."
The conference of the ministers and
the speech Of DUPONT is but one Of
series of maneuvers Of the DuPonts
to crush all attempts of. the workers
to act for themselves.
Provide New Armory.
The senate q few days ago passed a
bill which had already been passed
by the house, appropriating s25O,ooo
from the state treasury for the build
ing Of an armory in Wilmington.
The state college at Newark, near
here, has been turned into a virtual
war training camp, the students being
forced to engage in sham battles and
extensive war drills and maneuvers
for the benefit of officers visiting from
the war department at Washington.

If we fall down on this job social service in other Communities would suffer. We ap- preciate most fully good work done in other cities in response to a New Britain request,
 "Oftentimes. were 1t not for the confidential exchange files, our work would be prolonged and made more difficult. Through this social serv- ice exchange we are led to records of other welfare agencies. At the holiday season the confidential list is quite generally used by most so- clal workers in the city, Its serv- ice is available during the entire year for eliminating duplication, saving time, expense and energy. The exchange consists of card in- dex of families and individuals known to the agencies who consent to use 1t. On these cards Is identi- fication information only, that is addresses. names of families, al In op1 af agencies having knowledge of the family. with the date of inquiry. No information regarding the family. its circumstances, needs or assistance etc., Is known to the exchange The cards contain no records or ac- count of case work, Any organi- zation becoming acquainted with a family for the first time or who wishes 10 renew acquaintance with family may inquire by telephone or the regular blank form. The confidential exchange cards will show whether the family is already known to any other agency. Here its service ends.
 Although the winter months with their attending hardships of cold, illness, and some lack of work, have brought the accompanying material necessities to the fore a little, yet the cry for aid is gen. orally less than in several years. The demand for service aid is never ending and as we press on meeting new problems daily. we hope the community is profting and our citi- zenship becoming more stable, our city's standards notch higher and our children a step further toward the type of manhood we most want l for our future leaders"

terminated their winter course
Tuesday evening at the assembly

forts although a little up in years.
The directing was done by Miss

gymnastics were over tables were
set up and a nice lunch enjoyed
