Form Booster Club
for Daily Worker at

BY ARNOLD J. ROM,
Worker CORRESPONDENT.

SUPERIOR, Wis, Oct. ,10.-Having
read and received several appeals and
being finally convinced that some
thing ought to be done in jiffy to
raise money to keep The DAILY
WORKER in existence, a number of
our "live-wire" comrades were stirred
into action. A meeting was held and
the result was the formation of a
DAILY WORKER Booster Club. This
club was not organized merely to as

ent drive for $4,000. 1t was organ
lied to furnish permanent relief by
soaring up bunch of subs, soliciting
ads, selling literature, and so on.
To date only one meeting has been
held-the one at. which the club was
organized. Present at this meeting
were such authorities as Comrades
Matti Tenhunen and John Miller, bus
mess and advertising managers, re-
,spectively of the Finnish daily,
Tyomies, and others.
True to old form (tho not merely to
make it appear complicated) a few
committees were elected, such as ex-
'ecutive, membership, entertainment,
and bylaws, also a secretary, treas
urer, and last, but by no means least,

acquire prestige, the consensus of
opinion was that the club should be
made exclusive" That is, we don't
expect to have our club considered a
kindergarten or a dumping ground for
those about to kick in from old age,
who, it was figured, would at best be
only in the way. Hence an age limit
was suggested.

BY S. GLoBERMAN

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Oct. 10
Black Jack Jerome,-where hrsdl
heard this name was at the 9th Cons
vention of the California State Feder@
alton of Labor. held recently in Oak~i
land.
Black Jack Jerome was mentioned.
at every session. and when the cons
vention was over, the name Blaol7l
Jack Jerome was still ringing in myl
ears, Who is Black Jack Jerome?
|. Mcdonald the president of the
Building Trades Council of California,
explained and described the notorious
character.
Black Jack Jerome resides in SAM
Francisco. He is the heart and souf4
of the chamber of commerce, the
minion of the Industrial Builders%i
Association.
Black Jack Jerome is the, blood
hound of the exploiters against or-l
gained labor; during the carpenterss
strike, which is still in progress, he
organized gang of underworld char.
acters,- equipped them with shot
guns and were attacking the strikers,
Many victims have fallen by his or
ders. One of the strikers was killed
on his way home at his own stairway,
These violences were carried on un.
til Mcdonald went to the mayor and
warned him that unless the Black
Jack Jerome band be denied the right
to carry guns the strikers will arm
themselves and meet violence with
violence.
When Black Jack Jerome had seem
that the mayor was not too anxious to
cooperate he organized a citizens COM
mittee of one hundred who offered
their aid to the city authorities to
stop the violence committed by the
strikers.
However, Mcdonald, exclaimed that
not Black Jack Jerome nor the citizens
committee of one hundred would be
able to crush the carpenter strike in
order to introduce the American Plan
Company Union within the building
trades.
Mcdonald has also denounced the
Supreme Court of the United States
branding it as tool of the California
Builders Association.
His speach was ringing message
which heralded in the hearts of four
hundred delegates representing hun
bred thousand organized workers
throughout the state of California.

EVANSVILLE, Wis, Oct. TO- A
clean giveaway of the class nature of
the Associated Press and 1900 mem
Der newspapers, and of the tieup be-
tween religion and capitalism was
divulged by f. T. Cutter, Chicago,
superintendent Of the central division

meeting of Wisconsin newspapermen
and the town bankers and business
men here.

Cutter, whose favorite recreation is
addressing conferences of Methodist
preachers on the Service" of his in
stitution, was quite concerned about
what the "bolsheviks' might do to the
country.
"If we are to save the country from
the bolsheviks, it must be by def
mite cooperative effort between the
business world, the higher education
al institutions, religion, and the

Todies to Government.
The "non-partisan" nature of the
Associated Press was extolled, i'm
mediately followed by the declaration
that during the war, there was not
a thing that the government wanted
the Associated Press to do that it did
not do"
Cutter said frankly that "day after
day, night after night. we printed pub
licity by the yard"
Even the business men present
snickered when Cutter said he knew
newspapermen who started work with
the prayer: Lord, show me Thy way
that l may walk therein"
observe Support"
He made an intelligent observation
when he said that there is no group
that more deserves the support of the
merchants than the newspapermen."
Cutter scared the wits out of the
businessmen by quoting an unnamed
author as saying:
"Unless there is a religious up
heaval in this country within the next
few years, it will be in the hands Of
the bolsheviks."
He Immediately proposed a remedy,
however. 1t was more support for
the newspapers printing the "pure
(capitalist) news" of the Associated
Press.

Urges Organization
to Bring Druggists
From Slave Condition
ny a Worker correspondsnt.

Oct. 10 to Oct 20 has been set aside
as pharmacy week. Pharmacy week
was inaugurated by one Of the big
wholesale drug supply houses, John
son & johnson. During this week,
and before, millions will be spent in
advertising, extolling the characters
of the neighborhood druggists.
1t will be pointed out that the drug
gist is one who has spent much time
and money in learning his trade, and
that the public should think more Of
them and patronize them more.
But they will not point out the slave
conditions under which the druggist
works. They work for measly wage
and are forced to work hours longer
than those engaged in other trades.
The average druggist must work nine
hours a day, Sundays, holidays, late
at night, and receive about 80 cents an
hour for his labor
The young boys who work in the
stores are even more exploited. Many
work six or even seven hours a day
after school for IS a week. 1 know
of one, Is years old, who works for
$3.50 a week.
If a druggist doesn't like his job
and quits there are many others wait
ing to take his job, so the boss doesn't
worry.
Organization is the only thing that
will save the pharmacists. Think
about this during pharmacy week.

WORKERS SCHOOL
PUTS STRESS ON
ENGLISH CLASS
Special Text Books Are
Being Prepared

NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-An impor
tant part of the Workers School this
year will be its classes in English
There will be classes in Elementary,
intermediate, Advanced English and
in Public Speaking.
Such well-known English teachers
as Carl Rrodsky, Eli Jacobson, Sonia
Ginsburg, Ray Bennett, Max Rock,
Sonia Waldey, Pauline Rogers and
Sonia Winett will be the instructors.
Glasses will be limited in size to
twenty-five thus making it possible
for each student to receive more in
dividual instruction.
Evening Classes.
As many evening classes as are
needed will be formed as well as an
English class in the day time for night
workers. From registrations already
handed in, three elementary, two in
termediate, one advanced English and
one public speaking classes have
been formed. Each class will have
two sessions a week, each session be-
ing / hour and Is minutes long. For
eirn.speaking comrades and workers
who wish to concentrate this year on
English can do so by registering for
two English classes.
Special Textbooks.
An interesting feature of the Eng
lish classes this year will be the use
OF two new textbooks being prepared
bv the Workers School. For years the
workers and foreigners in this country
have lacked a simple and interesting
hook that could be used as basis for
their learning how to read, how to ex-
press themselves, to spell and write
correctly and yet not be full Of cap
italist propaganda and childish, non
sensical and dry in its nature. Themes
based on the life Of workers, contain
ing vocabulary that workers must use
interesting and realistic in approach
are the center around which the dlI-
ferent lessons are based.
The instructors of English in the
Workers School, unlike those in the
public or private schools, who are
either hostile or Indifferent 10 the
struggle Of the workers, are them
selves members Of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party and part of the labor
movement and therefore interested in
helping the students as much as pos
sible.
Foreigners Should Enroll.
Every foreign-speaking worker who
wishes to do his share of work in the
American labor movement, and every
foreign-speaking member of the Work
ers (CommunisD Party should re-
gister for and take class in English
in the Workers School. All English
classes start the week of October %.
Register today at the Workers
School headquarters, 10S East 14th
Street, Room 35. For further infor-
nation on the school, write to Ber-
tram D. Wolfe, director at the same
