Assembly Opens Way
to Longer Hours for
Women and Children

ALBANY, N. Y, March 27.-After
killing in committee the genuine As
hour bill for women and minors, the
republican assembly passed by one
vote the fake 4S-hour Joiner bill which
allows hours for women and minors
to be extended beyond As hours at the
discretion of the industrial commits
sion. This opens the way, especially
in the cannery industry, to a CONT
nuation Of the present long hour
regime.
Graft charges were freely passed in
the corridors and even found express
ion on the floor, Assemblyman John
Boyle, Jr., boiling republican, saying;
81 understand that the lobby for the
(Joiner) bill was worth $4,000 last
year.
Minority leader Block declared that
in the name OF reform conditions
would actually be made worse, point
ing out that the latitude given the
industrial commission in the Joiner
bill would permit hours to be extend
ed even beyond the 81 set as the limit
by the present law.

knowledge of Birth
Control Chiefly for
Women, Says Doctor

NEW YORK, March 27.-one Of the
most picturesque figures Of the Eng
lish birth control movement is DR..
Alice Drysdale Vickery, one of the
speakers at the birth control confer
ence now in session at the Hotel
McAlpin in New York. DR.. Vickery is
the veteran of the movement She
has seen public opinion change from
hatred and contempt of the scientists
and sociologists, and today she ad-
dressed an attentive and respectful
audience when she spoke to the con-
ference on what birth control viii
mean to mankind.
Birth control in DR.. vickery's opin-
ion, is chiefly question for the wo-
men to whom belongs naturally the
peopling of the world. In the past
woman has been helpless on account
of her ignorance Of everything that
pertains to her biological function, an
ignorance which has been preserved
by men and by the church. Not know
ing how to control reproduction, and
naturally desiring to mate early, she
fell into a state Of dependence. Know
ledge Of birth control methods can
now assure to her the possibility Of
early marriage along with the pre-
servation for few years Of her econ
omic independence.

GETS ON BALLOT
IN MICHIGAN
Candidates for State and
County Offices

DETROIT, Mich, March 27.-For
the first time the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party's name, the sickle and ham,
mer of the party's vignette and a full
slate Of Workers Party candidates for
state and county Offices will be on the
ballots in the Michigan election to be
held Monday, April 8.
For the first time in Michigan, April
we industrial and Office workers and
exploited agricultural toilers will be
able to use our franchise exclusively
for our class, the working class. The
Workers Party is Americas working
class party.
The republican party that is in
power In Michigan and all the United
States is the strongest capitalist class
party in the world today. The Work
ers Party is not yet mass party. But
in the coming contest at the polls we
must show whatever political and
moral strength we can.
Members of trade unions should be
the first to support openly the only
American party recognized by the
Third International as revolutionary
party.
Let us not forget in the face of our
reduced economic condition common
10 those who work for wages that the
Workers Party and all Of US of the
working class have history inevitably
on our side.
Forward to the polls then, working
men and women, and let as boldly
mark our ballots for our class, party
and candidates.

SIXTH YEAR OF
JAIL FOR SACCO
And VANzETTI
Delay Brings Torture to
Framed-up Men

BOSTON, Mass, March 27.-Long
months more of Imprisonment for
Sacco and Vanzetti, before the Mas
sachusetts supreme court passes on
their appeal for new trial are in
evitable from the expected refusal Of
the prosecution to go ahead with their
side Of the case.
The excuse given for the delay,
which is 30 torturous to Sacco and
vanzetti, is that Judge Thayer has
been dangerously I'll and convalescing
from critical operation; and that
District Attorney Wilbar who succeed
ed Williams, when the latter was ap-
pointed "a federal district attorney
ship, has not had time to study the
case.
william G. Thompson, defense at
torney, in letter to the Sacco and
vanzetti committee, says he has been
unable to elicit any information from
Wilbar as to whether he will consent
to the allowance OF certain supple
mentary bills of exceptions that are
part Of the appeal. For weeks before
Williams was promoted he was equal
Iy unsuccessful with him.
Meanwhile Vanzetti, his nervous
system upset by the sustained sus-
pe~se, is still marking time in the
Bridgewater state hospital. Sacco,
likewise, is chatting at the delay, as
he sits behind the bars in his little
cell at Dedham jail.

HOME SOON READY
FOR MENTAL CASES
Forty Charges to Be Placed
in Feeble Minded Institution
Next Month.

With one brick building in the midst
of pine woods ready for occupancy, 40
feeble minded charges Of the District
will be installed at the new District
Home for the Feeble Minded near
Laurel, Nd. early in August.
These unfortunates now are kept at
homes for the feeble minded at Vine
land, N. j.; Falls Church, Va; Elwyn,
Pa. and various institutions about the
District.
DIR. K. B. Jones, superintendent of
the home, is devoting his attention to
work on the foundations OF the other
two buildings and to cultivating the
850.acre farm with the aid of a few
farm hands and eight feeble minded
men, the first occupants Of the insti.
tuition.
Will Be Self Sustaining.
With s25 acres under cultivation,
DR.. Jones expects to secure practically
all the produce needed for the institu.
ton this Winter from the land itself
as well as fodder for the horses which
will be used in the building work
A road is to be constructed through
the fields and woods to the institution
from the Camp Meade-Savage road,
making the buildings easily accessible.
The Little Pawtuxent River runs
through the property, and 1t will be
necessary to bridge this stream.
The construction of the buildings in
the pine woods is part OF the plan for
making all the property not used for
farming into beautiful park, which
will be kept in condition by the In.
mates.
DIR. Jones has made his home in an
old farmhouse on the property since
last Fall, and has directed the work
of getting the place ready for the In.
mates.
