DETROIT SKY-PILOTS ARE |
DISTURBED As GOVERNOR |
'FORGETS' GOD IN THANKS |

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 2e.-What
is thanksgiving with God left out?
This was the disturbing reaction
of Detroit clergy to governor Alex
J. Groesbeck's omission of the word
God" from the annual ThanksgiV-
ing proclamation.
The proclamation is said to be the
first in which a governor has not
asked the people Of his state to
thank God for the various blessings
enjoyed during the past year.
The Rev. Chester 3. Emerson of
the North Woodward Avenue Con-
greaationaI church declared the res
olution "the most arrogant message
ever penned."
The Rev. Mark r. sanborn Of the
First Baptist church and the Rev.
Edgar Dewitt Jones of the Central
Christian church were other linen
of the cloth" who criticized the proc
Iamation.
1.-THE recognition Of God in
Thanksgiving is historical" the Rev.
Mr.. Jones said without thanks TO
God the holiday is meaningless"
The Rev. Mr.. sanborn said "If
the omission was Intentional the
proclamation is pathetic"

weren't so well off as he was. He had
been brought up in an atmosphere of

Torremaggiore, had been a republi-

in Milford he went to socialist meet

Denver Workers Open
New Lyceurn Building
81 a Worker correspondent.

DENVER, Nov. 20. - Sunday, the
21st,i was a red letter day for the
workers and their friends, especially
the Jewish portion, in that they as
sembled to the number of 1000 in
their beautiful new lyceum building in
West Denver.
A few years ago the Lyceum Asso-
citation was organized by handful Of
Jewish workers on the west side, and
they soon purchased lot on which
an old church was standing. It was
converted into a meeting hall. Then,
about a year ago, the members decided
that new structure must replace the
old and delapidated building, which
had grown too small for the crowds
that had been gathered there. Thru
picnics, bazaars and various meetings
money was collected for the purpose
Most OF the new building was erect
ed by the members OF the Lyceum
themselves, who have worked day and
night at the task. The structure, as
completed, is valued at $4,000. After
applying the $500 which was col
lected at the celebration on the 21st,
the debt remaining on the property
will be but $4,000, which the enthu-
siastic members claim will be paid of
within the next few years.
The dedicatory celebration lasted
from 2 D. m. until midnight and in
cluded banquet, dancing and
speeches.
Earl r. Hoage. president of the Col
orado Federation Of Labor, congratu-
lated the members in the name of the
$4,000 organized workers, in his or
ganization. He was followed IN his
talk by VIM. Dietrich, secretary of the
Workers Party. representatives of sew
eral unions, and Mr.. Duboff of the
Workmen's Circle. VIM. L. NTuech-
mann, president of the Lyceum Asso-
citation, made the principal address of
the evening.

EDISON WORKERS
ARE VICTIMS OF

Are Afraid to Commit
Selves on Union
ey a Worker correspondent.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Angel Nora,
organizer for the international Broth
erhood of Electrical Workers, says he
is handicapped in organizing the New
York Edison electrical workers. He
claims it is due to two reasons, an
efficient spy system and workers fear
of their Jobs.
All means of organizational work,
even when carried on under cover, are
exposed by the spy system. Any
worker who has even an interest in
the union is found out by the COM
pany and discharged
The spy system causes distrust be-
tween the workers, so they are afraid
to commit themselves on the union.
This factor alone has restricted or.
ganization work. Nora also states
that some Of the spies get an addi-
tional wage for this work, payable at
their residence by a messenger.
