Factory Schools Teach
Russian Orphans Trades

MOSCOW, Nov. 1.-THE peoples
commissariat of education is organ
zing series Of factory schools" in
which homeless children and waits
will be taught various trades in addi-
ton to general education. There are
to be 20 schools of this type, with
facilities for 10000 youngsters.
The chief attention in these schools
will be directed towards equiping the
pupils for skilled work in factories
and work shops after graduating from
the schools.
The factory schools will be run in
close connection with industrial en-
terprises, cooperative organizations
and other public bodies. The system
Of work in these schools will be
harmonized with the discipline exist
ing at the adult factories and work
shops, with the necessary deviations
to conform to the character Of the
youngsters. The working time will be
from 4 to 6 hours daily, depending
on the respective ages.
Such schools will be opened al
lvanovo-Voznessensk. Orel, Moscow
and other industrial centers. Special
funds for this purpose have been
granted by the council Of peoples

lives-500 of them per year
that their loved ones may exist.
Not Only Wages.
Arbitrate? 1t is not only ques-
ton of wages, hours and working con-
ditions that they are asked to arbi-
trate. 1t is life itself.
The miners refuse to arbitrate
their demands, not because they feel
their case is unjust, but because they
have had bitter experience with arbi-
tration before, which has always left
them standing with the empty bag.
The miners are asked to arbitrate
the only thing they have for sale
their human labor power. They are
asked to arbitrate how much money
they will receive for a certain amount
of work, that in turn determines the
kind of food he shall eat, the kind of
food his wife and little children shall
eat, the clothes they wear, the kind
of schooling they will get, the kind
of house in which they will be
sheltered and raised.
Arbitrate Lives.
In truth, the miners are asked to
arbitrate the kind of environment
their children will grow up into wo-
manhood and manhood, are asked to
arbitrate the life of the toiler and the
very future and life of his children.
The mine workers point out that
this propaganda for arbitration is We
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-11-14

ry much one-sided, and the claim Of
the operators that arbitration must
be accepted as a principle for all
other disputes, is very inconsistent
indeed, and that the arbitration is to
be applied only to one side Of the
fence-the miners demands.
It is noticeable that the operators
do not invite arbitration Of the
amount Of interest they shall receive
on their investment, or the profits on
their watered stock. No mention is
made of arbitration about the amount
they shall charge for coal, or the
amount they shall charge their wage
slaves for rent while existing in the
coal companies shacks-called houses
where the snow slides in and the
cold winter blasts roar thru.
Only for Labor.
No, indeed, arbitration is only for
the labor power of the miners, but
must not be used to interfere with
the enormous profits from the min
ers labor power.
The mine workers remember the
refusal Of the Rockefeller interest to
arbitrate in Colorado in 1918, when
President Wilson asked them to do
so, instead they sent in mine guards
and militia and shot and killed thir-
teen men, women and children, and
burned them in pit where they had
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-11-14

taken refuge, in tent colony at
Ludlow, Colorado. The Rockefeller
preacher, John d, Jr., refused to ar
bitrate and starved and burned the
mine workers into submission.
Capital Don't Arbitrate
The workers remember that Judge
Gary, chairman of the board of trust
ees of the steel corporation, and a
member Of President Wilson's indus
trial commission in 1919 also refused
to arbitrate the steel strike when
Wilson requested him to do so. Why?
Because Gary, like Rockefeller, felt
they were strong enough to break the
workers, and break them-for the
time being-they did.
The Delaware and Lackawanna
railroad in the last strike of the rail-
road shopmen refused to arbitrate
the question, and in the railroad
shops of that company, situated in
the hard coal fields, are to be found
narrowing conditions under which the
workers have to slave.
Arbitrate your life, hopes and aspi-
rations, your future as a man, the
future of your children-what kind
of men the privilege of arbitrating
wrapped up in the question of wages
today, in the question of environment,
which to a great extent is based on
the wages, and living conditions as
result of the price for which labor is
sold, is what arbitration means to
the slaves of the pits.
Proaressives Oppose Arbitration
The progressive miners in the an
thracite have fought against any at
tempt at arbitration and will continue
to do so. We refuse to give any set
of men the privilege Of arbitrating
our lives and happiness.
When the rising power of the work
ing class becomes so strong in any
industry, and the workers are about
to win during strike one of the
favorite weapons of the bosses is, and
will be, arbitration.
The anthracite miners can win this
strike. The coal owners are begin
ming to realize the miners
strength, hence their frantic efforts
to arbitrate the strike demands.
No arbitration, is the slogan of the
anthracite miners.
