LABOR HELPS
MINE STRIKE
Socialists Only Block to
Relief Conference
BY DAVE RAPo, Worker
CORRESPONDENT.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. ia con-
ference to help the British striking
miners was organized here by the
Carpenters Local Union 1876. Over
% labor organizations, mostly labor
unions, affiliated with the conference.
An energetic campaign has been
started to raise funds for the starving
miners in Great Britain. A consider
able amount of money has already
been raised and sent to the American
Federation of Labor thru the L. A.
Central Labor Council.
Carpenters Union Local 1876 has
given 800 from it's treasury. Office
Workers Local 1921 has donated $40.
Workers with subscription lists are
collecting money at their local union
meetings and on the jobs. The re-
Spouse is encouraging. The writer Of
this story collected IS at his last To-
cal union meeting, Painters 134S. Our
business agent has collected $22 on
his list. Officials of labor unions are
making collections on subscription
| lists issued by the conference.
Central Labor Council Endorses
Conference.
The Los Angeles Central Labor
Council endorsed the British miners
relief conference and appointed COM
mittee Of five to represent the coun-
ell at the conference and work out
ways and means to raise large
amounts of money for the starving
miners. All the money raised by the
conference goes thru the Central La
Dor Council to the A. F. of l.. Miners
Relief Committee.
Socialists Sabotage Relief Work.
The Jewish socialist "Verband" and
the city and district committee OF
the Workmen's Circle called their
own conference. Several attempts
were made by the relief conference
called by the carpenters to unite both
conferences for greater and more en-
ergetic work for the striking miners.
They were entirely ignored and re.
iected by the socialists. Even the
proposal of the carpenters confer
ence to exchange delegates in order
not to interfere with each others
work was rejected by them. This &C.
ton Of the socialists aroused the con.
demnation OF all the workers in the
trade Unions and as result the two
local unions which were afilliated
with the socialist conference with.
drew from them and Joined the con
ference called by the carpenters.

Use New Argument to
Aid Open Shop in N. Y.
Window Cleaning Row
BY a Worker correspondent.

NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 19.-The
Window Cleaners Union has been re-
fused a demand for 81 a week wage
increase by the employers associa-
ton and strike is due October l.
The employers have invented a
brand new excuse in refusing to deal
with the union. They say that the
union has established a window clean
ing company which completes with
these employers and their association.
This, say the employers, is 1.-The soviet
system" applied to window cleaning,
The employers want a monopoly on
the business and give the following
weird argument:
1.-THE window cleaning union has
established a so-called window clean
ing company, which is being run and
governed by the officers of this union
on a soviet system, and the union is
constantly using this soviet company
as a threat against the employers, and
the only aim of this union is in due
time to sovietize the entire window
cleaning industry and then dictate
terms directly to the customers in
stead of to the window cleaning con-
tractors"

Labor Summer Schools
Held Turnout Britain

BY BILL ROSS, Federated Press.

BY BILL ROSS, Federated Press.
LONDoN-(FP Workers summer
schools are being held throughout
Britain. There are about 20 schools
with over 1000 workers combining
vacation with education Owing to
the depression, the scope of the sum
mer school has been somewhat cur
tailed
Every phase of the labor movement
is represented. There are schools
conducted by the Workers Education
association, which is considered the
right wing of the workers education
movement, and schools conducted by
the National Council of Labor Col
leges, which is MARKHAM. The Inde-
pendent Labor Party, the Coopera.
tives, the Working Mems Clubs asso-
citation and trade unions offer summer
courses in various parts of the coun-
try. .
These summer schools are attended
largely by workers who have studied
in evening classes. Many Of them are
active members in their organizations
and are sent on scholarships, others
pay their own way. The type Of stu
dents in attendance is evident in the
list Of occupations OF the men and
women in one of these summer
schools. There are miners, steel work
ers, clerks, machinists, electricians,
railway workers, carpenters and post
Office workers.
There is a wide pinge of subjects
At present the lessons Of the general
strike and the coal strike are most
prominent. Other subjects cover
every problem of interests to workers,
from how to run a workingman's club
to international relations.

1t says;
Fellow citizens: There is one way

money by Britain, and the result was
that the country fell into the clutches
Of the militarists. Japan gave money

.YAQUI REVOLT
LAID TO PLOT
OF CATHOLICS
Suspect De la Huerta;
Two Agents Shot

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 10. - While
the details of what is happening in
the Yakui country of Sonora are hid
den by lack of communication, It is
the popular belief that the Yaqui In
dians have been melted to revolt by
Ireactionary enemies Of the Gales gov
eminent.
Reports say that 1000 federal troops
have driven the Yaquis into the noun
tains and that the Yaqui chief, Gen.
eral Matus, is hard pressed, while an
other report says that this Yaqui
leader and 1000 of his followers were
paid ransom for General Alyaro Obre-
gon. paid by the governor Of Sonora
after having been captured by the In
dams. Obregon is reported to have
had his one good arm wounded.
1t is believed that Adolfo de la HUI
erta, whose clerical-fascist revolt Of
1928 was suppressed, but who has
since continually plotted against the
government, has sent agents into the
Yaqui country to agitate the uprising.
~ 10 SoPSSlosAAy SlSuluCduL IudJ Two
men, charged with making propaganda
for an uprising among the Indians,
and shot by federal troops at Tingu-
indin, in the state of Michoacan last
Sunday, were shown to be connected
with the catholic reaction. These two
were Manuel Melgarejo and Joaquin
de Silva, both sons Of prominent law
yers Of Mexico City.
Catholics Have Secret Radio.
Young Melgarejo is supposed to be-
long to a Methodist family, however,
but the society with which they were
connected is supposed to have been a
shield for anti-Calles catholic propa-
ganda of a secret nature.
The arrest of another prominent
Mexican shows that the catholics are
waging secret war against the govern,
ment Luis Mier Teran, one of the
most active members of the Catholic
League for Religious Defense and g
member of one of the oldest and most
aristocratic Mexican families, was ar

N. Y. HOSPITAL
NEGLECTS POOR
WORKERS WIVES
Mothers Mistreated in
Free Ward
BY J. ~, Workers Correspondent.

BY J. NJ, Workers Correspondent.
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-New York
City has many maternity hospitals.
Some have free wards, in others you
must pay a charge of $50 for confine-
ment and two weeks stay. This in
cludes a visit every two weeks to the
hospital before confinement.
Money Buys Privileges.
If you can afford $50 a week you
can get private room and your rela-
tiyes may visit you at any time they
wish. Visitors to the free or poor
women's" wards are limited to twice
a week. The number of patients in
one ward ranges from Is to 20. Q
am speaking about the New York
Nursery and Hospital, 161 West 61st
street)
My wife was taken sick about two
weeks ago. After most difficult labors
in the above hospital she gave birth
to a baby. My wife was in the fifth
ward. She was suffering with blad-
der trouble and constipation. She
was forced to beg and wait for hours
until she could get a bedpan. Many
times she was forced to pass urine
into the bed and then forced to sleep
in the soggy bed. The nurses paid
little attention to the entreaties OF the
working-class women quartered in this
ward.
Patients Neglected.
One morning the doctor of the hos
pital ordered an enema for a consti-
patton of three days standing. In
spite of repeated requests she was
not attended to until late that night.
The doctors order for the use OF n
pump on the breasts went unheeded
for about Is hours. The orders were
only carried out after repeated re-
quests from my wife.
While attending her the nurses
were brutal and insulting. This re-
voting treatment is a common thing
here. The patients fear to make any
complaints, as they fear reprisals on
the part Of nurses.
The information service here is rot
ten. 1t is next to impossible to find
out the condition that a patient is in
unless that patient is in a private
ward. II the patient is in a private
ward then you know everything.
Working.class wives and mothers
are ignored and neglected in this hos
pital. The sight of pregnant women
waiting for hours in line while the
hospital nurses gossip and tell jokes
TO each other is a common sight that
greets visitors to this hospital

vacy, and are q protection to side
draperies. Glass curtains should be
just long enough to escape the sill.
Side Draperies Useful.
Side draperies give finished ap-
pearance to the window, are useful as
shades If arranged to draw, and are a
good means of adding color to the
room and of modifying poor proper
tions. In small homes, side draperies
that end on a line with the apron Of
the window are more suitable. If a
more formal effect is desired, let them
extend TO the Dashboard or an inch
above the floor.
A valance used with or without dra-
peries carries. the eye across the top,
and has the effect of decreasing the
height Of room and window.
Before buying curtain material, get
suitable and see how they go with
walls, woodwork, floor and furniture,
by both day and artificial light. Strong
light shining through curtain fabrics
often brings out striking effects not
suspected until put to this test. EX-
cellent curtain materials can some
times be found among the dress goods.
Fabrics and cOlors that will clean
we'll and withstand light, are the best
bargain in the end. Examine also for
defects in the weave that may show
up when the curtains are hung.
With figured wall paper, choose
plain-cOlored curtain material. If the
walls and most of the furnishings are
plain the curtains may be figured, but
preferably with the background the
same color or slightly deeper than the
walls. With cream walls, for instance,
a cretonne with soft tan background
and figures that repeat the colors used
elsewhere in the room might be suit
able for living and dining rooms.
In selecting figured materials give
preference to conventional designs
that will stand the test of being looked
at day after day.
