questions are: What is your fathers

and for whom? Is he part owner of

The instructions. to the teachers
state, 'In answering questions rela.

The school authorities are having a

principal of the Glenville high school
declared that the information is need

logical background of the pupils at

Teachers in other high schools give
contradictory excuses for the registra-

high school, for example, have stated
that the information rs needed for
the Jewish council alliance" a local
charity settlement institution. Some
teachers in the same school gave still
other explanations.
The Young Workers League is
fighting the registration on class
grounds. Its members are explaining
to the other students that the schools

Socialists and State
Progressives Adjourn

Altho the socialist national and state
conventions declared that the socialist
party had severed all connections with
the LaFollette progressive" move
ment, several socialists attended the
state convention of the provisional
progressive party Of Illinois, and were
told that their seats as delegates were
open to them.
Both conventions have adjourned.
The progressives are marking time,
hoping that the scattered LaFollette
forces may yet be collected into some
sort Of a petty bourgeois party. The
socialists are in such state Of disor-
ganization that they are frantically
trying to keep the skeleton of their
party together.

against the sanity takers at the head
of the international. AS penalty, the
joint board decided to take away the
right Of the membership of the local

takers now insist on appointing the
business agent, also they preferred
charges against the executive board

The crime" is as follows: The ex-
ecutive board refused to sign a state
ment, written by Manager Feinberg.
Feinberg wanted the executive to sign
and circulate statement that it con-
dennis those who, prior to the elect
ion of business agents, issued leaflets
attacking certain candidates.
The executive was willing to send
out a statement that it was not res
ponsible for the call, but Feinberg
insisted on his order.
The bureaucrats could not let this
crime" Of refusal pass, so brought
charges before the joint board which
decided as above.

The Amalgamated bureaucracy, in
