SHERIFF EVADES
CHICAGO GRAND
JURY QUESTIONS

Sheriff Peter Hoffman was called
before the special grand jury investi-
eating vice and crime in Chicago,
asked to sign an immunity waiver so
that If necessary indictments could
be voted against him, and then ques-
toned for an hour and a half.
The jury wanted to know among
other things why the prohibition laws
were violated on a wholesale scale,
why disorderly houses were so nu-
merous, why there was so much
gambling so openly apparent around
town, and what was being done about
the McSwiggin murder, in which a
member of the district attorneys staff
was shot by one gang of bootleggers
while in the company of another
gang
The sheriff said he didn't know be-
cause he had so little assistance.
The grand jury ordered States At
torney Robert E. Grove to appear be-
fore it, but has not announced wheth-
er he will be asked to sign an inn
munity waiver also.

Schenectady Defenders
of Class War Victims
Hold Picnic Labor Day
BY JACK soININEN.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Aug. 25.-
The international Labor Defense is
conducting a picnic here Labor Day,
at Scotia, Glenolia Park, near the
Mohawk Swimming School,.
The affair will last all day Sept. 6,
and there win be a great time. The
program is good, and dancing will
continue from the opening of the
grounds until they close.
This picnic is the first Of the kind
that this branch of the l. L. D. has
held and the members wish to make
it as useful as possible to the class
war prisoners. A special effort is being
made to get the Albany Young
Pioneers to come, and bring all their
songs, poems and speeches. All work
ers from the country around, Troy,
Albany, Utica, Clovers and everywhere
in the vicinity are invited and ex-
pected. Everybody is welcome, chill.
dren are admitted free. and adults pay
25 cents.

protection Of these vested interests
chine is being erected there are ad-
vantages accruing to especially the
large corporations that are not ap-
parent at first glance.
Making Better Slaves.
ME refer now chiefly to the bust
4iA ness of making better industrial
slaves.
Practically every one Of the 1O6
powerful business concerns, altogether
employing untold thousands of men,
have made arrangements to give ma
terial assistance to the recruiting for
the training camps. They encourage
their young employees to attend the
schools. They distribute the associa-
ton tracts In their plants. Some of
them make arrangements for pay
while their young employees are away
learning the war game. All OF them
make it easy for the lads to get of
for the thirty days each summer re-
CURED by the course.
Why do they do this? Because they
love the lads! III they loved them they
would give them more wages and re-
quire them to work less hours. To
build them up physically, to train their
minds or to give them recreation as
the camp publicity says? If this were
the case they would tighten their tasks
in the mills, they would shorten their
hours of labor, reduce the monotony of
the daily grind and provide ample
recreation. No, it is plain that these
are not the reasons.
Army Discipline.
THE real reason is, next to the de-
= sire for a preponderant military
machine, that the military training
that goes with the camps teaches ODE
dience. Thirty days each year of
sharp commands falling on the ears

Same With R. o. T. c.

MUCH the same holds true with the
AN1 r. o. T. G. In the list OF both in
dividuals and corporations mentioned
above, there are very few indeed that
do not contribute to some educational
institution. Every one of the large
universities in the country are subsid-
lied by various groups of capitalists.
And practically every university thus
subsidized has military training. 1t is
optional with the school whether or
not they wish a, unit of the Reserve
Officers Training Corps established
by the War Department on its cam
pus.
Do you suppose the university Of
Morgan (Columbia), the University of
Mellon Pennsylvania, the Univers-
ity of Gary, (Northwestern), the Uni
versity of the Packers (Chicago) or
any other capitalist-owned institution
would ignore the offer of the War De-
partment to install, at the depart
ment's trouble and expense, a mill
tary faculty with full equipment for
complete military training?
No. Nor have they. Every one Of
them give military training and in
some SO of them, as we have shown
in previous article, military training
is compulsory. The reasons are much
the same as those that aetuate these
"public-spirited" pillars of society to
support the G. NJ. T. c. It is not
enough that they "goose-step" the
minds Of the school going youth. They
are made to do the goose step in fact
with guns on their shoulders under the
direction of hard-boiled regular army
officers.
Whole Capitalist ollaarchy.
TNHE whole financial and industrial
4 oligarchy Of the country is behind
civilian military training to man. In
their train they are able to drag the
hangers-on who shout 100 percentism
and otherwise do their bit for the ad-
vancement of Jingoism. 1t is very
unfortunate that among the camp
followers must be mentioned the So
called leaders Of the American Fedora

of lads that are still in their formative
years instill q discipline that can be
appreciated to the full extent only by
a slave-driving factory foreman. Well
disciplined wage slaves are manufac-
tured at these training camps besides
willing soldiers. This is certainly
worth the money and the aid of any
largo organization that Is run for
profit and that gets more profit the
better and harder its slaves toll. ~
Then too there are the courses in
citizenship. We will talk IN another
article about the kind of Education"
taught in these camps. It Is enough
now to say that the open shop organ
lzations behind the camps are fully
aware Of the anti-worlSing.class nature
OF the citizenship" courses that are
taught by the officers who read from
carefully prepared mimeographed out
lines issued by the war department.

GOVERNMENT OUT !.
TO BRE AK LABOR
in AUSTRALIA
Workers Unite to Fight
Dreaded Legislation

SYDNEY, Australia - CFP) - The
Australian Labor Party and organized
labor in Australia are engaged in a
hot campaign against the referendum
put forward by the federal anti-Labor
government to secure a closer control
over the unions.
The first proposal would give the
government power to create, regulate,
control and dissolve corporations, In
GLIDING trade unions. II the proposal
is endorsed by the electors the gov
eminent will hare power to deal with
the unions in drastic fashion. 1t could
put its agents into union offices, take
possession of their books, interfere
in their internal affairs, hold new
elections and secret ballots on ques-
tons which the government itself
would frame.
Under such a regime the introduc-
ton of spies into the unions would
undoubtedly follow and the entire fab
ric Of unionism would very soon be
honeycombed with suspicionsand care
fully-fomented dissension.
The second proposal would give the
government power to introduce legis-
lation to protect the interests of the
public in the event of an actual or
probable interruption of any essential
service. Under this proposal the gov.
eminent is seeking legislation on the
same lines as that introduced in the
House of Commons during the recent
British general strike. Under It the
government could organize strike
breaking units on an extensive scale,
enter the homes of the workers with
out warrants, arrest union officials and
throw them into jails, prevent free
speech, call out the troops to shoot
down the strikers and their sympa-
thizers and even conscript the strik-
ers and force them back to work at
the point of the bayonet.
Ratification of these two proposals
would mean the Gripping of the Labor
movement, politically and industrially,
and the subsection of the workers Of
Australia to the slavery of a judicial
dictatorship. That is why the work
ers of Australia are today lined up in
deadly opposition to the federal gov
ernment's proposals.

ian military training. They them

obey.
The war departments program of
civilian military training is encour-

licking their retainers into line.
