PRISON FOOD FOR
BLIND BABIES IN
CAL. INSTITUTION
Dietician Fired; Beans

BY jim MAC GRADY
worker Correspondent

OAKLAND, Calf Dec. 10.-Falling
under the ak ECONOMY AK, the ra-
tons of inmates of the California
school for the deaf, dumb and blind
are to be cut in order to keep the
cost of feeding the 200 children with
in the 25 cents a day allowance of
the state.
The cost of the food purchased by
the school for one third of the pres
ent fiscal year was $4,000 while the
yearly allowance is but $4,000. it was
revealed at a conference of VIII c.

the number of hands required is stat
ed.
One may say that the 1925 season
has shown that we have made great
strides ahead in construction work.
For thruout the entire great union of
republics a shortage of building work
ers is felt. Whereas formerly we had
to give up our passport to the con-
tractor who compelled us to work for
mere pittance and eat his mouldy
food, now altho contractors still exists,
our wages are regulated by collective
agreements, and when these are in
fringed, the health of the contractors
does not improve at the hands of our
proletarian legislation in the form of
the labor court. Formerly we builders
knew no other place than the ''trak-
tirs" (public houses) and that was
only on Sunday evening. Now we
have our own libraries at every large
building site
llliteracy Vanishes.
Every year as in Baku for instance.
we liquidate illiteracy among more
than 200 workers in two graduations.
Every week lectures are read a! all
building works at Baku at which
everyone must be present 1t is diff
fcult to recognize our building work
ers as compared with the old build
ers. They are catching up with their
brother metal workers, printers, etc.
Our network of clubs and rest cor
ners, are heading straight for educa-
ton. The Standardization work
among building workers has under
taken trade union work as its first
immediate task. This work, OF course
will not be without results. Our sea
sonal workers Gas we call those who
come for the summer) mostly arrive
as illiterates. 1t is a well known fact
that education was formerly inacces.
sible to us. Now we not only become
literate, but even fully developed PEG.

political questions.
That is what the October revolution
has given us building workers.

ings from dawn to sunset as formerly,
but work voluntarily, eight hours a
day, as all workers. But may add
that because OF an insufficiency Of
building workers, in Baku, In some
cases overtime is permitted, but not
unlimited. The contractor, the fore
man and the employers treat the build
ers in a different way now, and one
no longer hears them fouly cursing
the workers.
Have many changes taken place
among you workers in the American
building industry during the same
period?

He fought in many wars, but not for
freedom. He came to America when

young to free the black slaves, but
he never fought to free himself. He
then went to sea and saved all his
money Then he gave this money, all
he had, to his boss to help him start
in business. He never got it back.
He lost his money and his life for
his boss, while Farmakis was piling

Washington, D. c., Nov. 1S.-The

coo.
American cutlery showed one of
the biggest gains. During the first
nine months Of 1925, cutlery valued
at SS,169,290 was shipped abroad,
an increase OF Is per cent compared
with the value of exports in the cor
responding period OF 1924. The
most striking advance was in safety
razor blades. consignments Of which
amounted to S,564,755 dozens In the
1925 period, gain Of IS per cent
over the 1924 figure. On the other
hand, the foreign sales OF safety
ra2ors fell off.
A heavy drop in the value Of ship
ments of locks was one of the fea-
lures Of the trade. Hinges and GER
tain lines of builders hardware also
showed losses in value. The total
value of builders hardware export
ed from the United States amount
ed to s71ST5S9 for the first nine
months Of the current year, a slight
loss from the 1924 period.
An advance, however, was made
in the value of exports of American
tools, During the first three-quar-
tiers OF 1925, foreign shipments of
these products reached s15,259,369,
nearly II per cent greater than for
the corresponding period last year.
Metal working tools made the best
showing. Reamers, drills, dies, etc.
were nearly two-thirds heavier, with
a large Increase in value. On the
other hand, wood cutting saws,
augers and bits, and axes were
shipped abroad in smaller quantities.
Files, rasps, hammers and hatchets
brought augmented foreign sales.

The Philosophical Clemenceau

The release of Emile Coffin. the anarchist, from a French
prison recently after serving five years of a tenyear sentence
serves to remind that Clemenceau carries a bullet in his chest
as a result of a wound inflicted by Coffin.
In 1919 Coffin shot the old Tiger. The anarchist release
from prison was an order of Rene Renoult, minister of justice,
and successor of Clemenceau as senator from the department
of war. Renoult's initial entry into French politics was fostered
by Cemenceau.
These circumstances would seem to call for a bitter broad
side from the former premier. But .he does nothing of the kind.
Had young Coffin killed me" Clemenceau said, "he would
have been guillotined. Now he will soon be made a knight of
the Legion of Honor. That is the way things go in the world.
I will endorse his request for a decoration because the justice
of the moment demands that it be granted"
That is a philosophical way of viewing the release of one
who had attempted to take life And yet it is not without com-
terpart in this country. Innumerable times men have been re-
leased from prison upon Il showing that those who were in
jured by the criminal acts were willing that celemency should
be shown. The world has a very short mind. The leaders of old
imperial Germany were well aware of this weakness of human
kind. They were constantly urging their people to remember
well' to pay back in ind for every grievance or wrong they had
suffered.
1t is not difficult to choose between the two PHILOSOPHERS.
The man who nurses a vengeful spirit pays more heavily than
the one he seeks to injvre. But in exercising this spirit of for
giveness towards those who commit criminal acts, many in
justices are done.

The Eclipse and Science

The most interesting part of the eclipse on January "A to
astronomers is the corona. Little is known about it and it
lis hoped that this year will reveal some hints about several
great mysteries.
In the first place 1t is interesting for the scientist to try
to discover whether the corona is electrical, atmospheric or
atomic. More observation of halo which appears when all Of
the suns disc is covered may reveal the source of the energy
which the sun emits.
The eclipse will help also to determine the exact time of
the contacts of the rims of the sun and moon and thus help to
check the exceedingly accurate representations of astronomers
which arc sometimes rendered slightly inaccurate due TO Ger
tain irregularities of the motion of the moon. These irregular
tiles may receive partial explanation when the differences are
checked.
From the point of view of the Einstcin theory the eclipse
Is interesting because the covering of the disc of the sun will
permit the photographing and observation of the sky back
ground Of the sun. Einstein's theory says that the rays of light
from the stars around the sun are attracted by its huge bulk.
When the sun is shining it is impossible to observe the back.
ground of the sun, and the rays of light from stars beyond the
sun cannot be observed, and so the curve, if there IS any, can.
not be studied.
Another hypothesis which may be studied when the sun
IS darkened concerns the possible discovery of planets inside
the orbit of Mercury.
