LenIn Memorial In Pittsburgh.

ESntn mcWOTlat ~ pitboUuIBHs
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 29.-The
Lenin Memorial Meeting which will
be held at the Labor Lyceum, 35 Mil
Ter Street, January %, 1927, at s p.
M, will be one of the largest affairs
ever held in this city. The party is
fortunate in securing the Freiheit &C.
sangs-Verein, an organization of fifty
voices, to sing.
The Freiheit Gesangs-Verein, altho
only organized a few months, Is max
ing a reputation and Is proving the
Importance of such an organization
to the working class movement. AT
it's initial concert the Labor Lyceum
was packed and everyone expressed
their approval. This attraction alone
should fill the hall, but there are
others.
The Ukrainian Children's Mandolin
Group will add to the attractions of
the affair.
The speaker, William F. Dunno, ed
itor of The DAILY WORKER and
well-known to all the workers thru
out the entire country, will explain
the important role played by Lenin
in the class struggle, and point the
way to the American workers and
how they, with Leninism as their
guide, will be able to accomplish their
own emancipation.

Brings Powerful Weapon.
Every trade union and workers or
ganization in the district was invited
by the conference held Dec. II to take
part in the campaign. Delegates at
that conference from New York, Bos-
ton, and Philadelphia, pointed out that
The DAILY WORKER is the fighting
spokesman of the entire workingclass
and that it can be depended upon to
fight for the workers against the
bosses and their tools at all times.
In every battle in the New York
district, the metropolitan press has
taken sides with the employers
against the workers, and the workers
in New York have been without an
adequate weapon to combat the at
tacks of the capitalistic Newspapers
With the coming of the paper TO New
York this will be changed. The work
ers will have a powerful weapon. The
realization Of this by all of the work
ers in New York is inspiring them to
exert great efforts in the present
drive.
Headquarters Of the Daily Worker
Conference are at 10S East Four
teenth street, New York City. L. &c.

ence.

Recently had occasion to speak to
a young worker who is employed at
the Montgomery Ward mail order
house. The conditions existing in the
plant by which each boy and girl
must abide would shock the class
conscious trade unionist, or in gen
eral the American working class.
Young boys and girls are Shaving for
that Morgan-owned prison for $13 and
S14 a week and upon expiration of
one years continuous service and if
that boy or girl is militant enough to
ask for raise they sometimes give a
81 increase and in many cases a sus-
pension slip is handed to the particu-
lar worker for his or her discomfort
ment.
Worked Overtime.
Very often an occasion arises when
overtime is forced upon the workers
they generally work from two to
hree hours of overtime and they are
compensated with 80 or 40 cents and
supper (25 cents). In the event that
l young worker is for some vital rea-
son unable to work that night, few
excuses are accepted for their refusal
to work and grudges are imposed on
those workers, which in time causes
their permanent suspension.
AS to the straw boss situation, it is

R)-Telephone conversations across
the Atlantic Ocean are only the be
ginning of modern development IN
this method of communication. said
Thomas \. Watson, one of the -four
inventors of the telephone. in COM
menting today upon radiophone talks
between newspaper men of London
and New York last Sunday.
Mr.. Watson. who for seven years
managed the first telephone company
in the world is the sole survivor of
the orisina four who perfected APP
paratus for transmitting the human
voice over a wire. He was forced to
quit his associates. among whom was
Alexa nder Graham BELL. in 1881. be-
cause of a breakdown in health. Since
then he has not enga ged in any active
work but has followed the develop
ment of the telephone with keenest
interest Mr.. Watson. who is - years
old is q resident Of Boston, Mass.
The radiophone talks across the At
lantic last SUNDAY consisted Of greet
ings between London and New York
Offices Of the Associated Press. They
were an experiment in connection
with the fftieth anniversary of the
granting Of basic telephone patents to
Mr.. Rell.
THE greatest results obtained today
in development Of the telephone are
only the beginning Of a development
vastly greater. beyond the power of
most people to imagine said Mr..
Watson The American Telephone
and Telegraph Company has labora-
tory in which are employed 5000 men
constantly experimenting upon i'm
provements in telephony.
They have already done most mar
velous things and they will do many
more. more wonderful than anything
that has been done yet"
Mr.. Watson said he was not at
liberty to describe the lines along
which radio telephony will he de-
veloped. Although no definite an
nouncement has been made. It has
been reported from London that radio
telephone communication will he I'm
operatio between the United States
and foreign countries by next Fall.

Will be a school childrens matinee
for those not in high school on Mon
day afternoon. Only small admis-
sion fee will be charged and the
club arranged this so that the many
children in the city would have an
opportunity to see the show as it Is
by far the finest thing ever given in
Augusta. The club when they de-
cided to give the show proceeded to
do the thing right and no expense
has been spared whatsoever.
First of all they sent to New York,
which happens to be the real center
of the theatrical world, and procured
a real honest-to-goodness live direc-
tor who had had years of experience
and had played in some of the finest
shows on Broadway.
'CheerUp" is not to be confused
with any other amateur show ever
presented. The ideas are clever
throughout and are taken from the
biggest musical shows now playing.
The dancing is fast and furious and
not tainted in the least with that of
the amateur. "CheerUp" when pre-
scented in Portland made tremen-
dous hit and was called the finest
amateur show ever given there and
nearly hundred people had to stand
to see it. 1t has been presented in
Philadelphia and Chicago. 1t runs
without delay and is not long drawn
out as it is a smart two hour show.
Josephine Perazzi, whose voice is
known throughout the city for its
beauty and volume, will be one Of
the soloists in the Spanish scene.

Margaret Lewis has clever duet

will be one of the special surprise
features of the show and has always
been a big hit.

nent part in one OF the many scenes.
Tickets are now on sale at the Au-
