Chicago Watchrnakers
Aid Passaic Strikers

The Chicago Watch and Cloak
makers Union at its last regular meet
ing went on record in support of the
textile strikers of Passatc, and una
nimously donated SIS from it's treas
ury to the strike relief fund. They
also sent letter to the strikers COM
mending them on the solidarity and
heroic struggle that they are waging
against the textile bosses Of Passaic
and adjoining towns.
The Chicago Watchmakers Union is
not a big organization but. when it
comes to do something for the labor
movement it is on the Job. Many of
its members have already Joined the
International Labor Defense and altho
the Union has not officially done so,
It has financially supported the Inter-
national Labor Defense in numerous
of its drives, notable in the Zeigler
frame up cases.

Holds Affair for
Pioneer Camp

DETROIT, May 6. The Young
Workers (Communist) League Of De-
troit will hold a huge carnival and
dance Sunday, May 9, from in the
afternoon to midnight at the House of
the Masses, 2646 st. Aubin street. The
proceeds will go for the feminist
Pioneer Camp.
The purpose OF this camp is not
only to counteract the pernicious in
fluence OF the camps supported by the
chamber of commerce, the manufac-
turers association, Y. NJ. C. A. and
Y. M. II. A., but also to provide whole
some recreation and amusement, as
we'll provide an environment in which
the knowledge of the elements OF
nature, self-reliability and class con-
seriousness can be gained by the work
ers' child.
From all Indications the carnival
promises to be the most interesting
and will be characterized by many
novel features.
In the evening dancing will take
place from Z to midnight. An excep-
tional orchestra OF fine jazz syncopa-
tors has been secured. All workers
are urged to attend and bring their
friends.
The admission will DO rs cents in

COAL MINERS
OF TSBURGH
CHEER British
Hands Across the Sea-
Spirit Speaks
Especial to The Daily worker)

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May g. (By
Mail.)-Not only the coal miners, who
feel themselves directly concerned,
but steel workers as we'll, turnout the
Pittsburgh district are greatly inter-
ested in the huge strike wave that
has engulfed the British Isles.
"The solidarity of labor in the Pitts
burgh district with the workers on
strike in Great Britain can easily be
measured by studying the reports of
the many May day meetings that are
now available" declares Abram ia
kira, Pittsburgh district organizer for
the Workers (Communist) Party.
At the meeting in East Pittsburgh,
Saturday night, attended by Westing-
house workers and addressed by ].
Louis Engdahl, editor Of The DAILY
WORKER, every mention of the
strike in England was greeted with
great enthusiasm.
The same was true at the Sunday
meetings at which Engdahl spoke, at
Daisytown and Brownsville, Pa, both
in the heart of the coal regions. The
DalsytoWn meeting was held under
the direction of the local miners I'M
ion.
D. E. Early had two May day meet
ings in the coal fields, one at Bentley
vile, Pa, and the other at Pursglov,
West Va.
Bentleyville Is a storm center in
the coal industry. The Bentleyville
miners feel themselves very close to
the British strike.
At Pursglov, over the line in West
Virginia, the meeting was held under
the direction of the local miners I'M
ion, and the president Of the union
spoke from the same platform with
Early. The miners are also ON strike
here.
George Papcun, Of the Young Work
ers' League. spoke at AveIla, Pa. a
coal town, and Glassport, Pa, q steel
town, where the response to the Bri-
fish situation was equally emphatic.

Mechanical Leaders
Displace Hand Workers
In the Kathleen Mine

DOWELL, ILL.,, May 6-The Union
Colliery Coal Co. posted notice some
time ago stating that the Kathleen
mine would shut down for an uncer-
tain period of time. The miners were
told to skin up and remove their
tools. Instead Of a shut down as they
said, it was only an attempt to get
the union miners to get out of the
mine with their tools. Workers have
been working every day in the mine.
They have loaded coal into every
empty car below. One day the com
pany blew the whistle for work. The
following morning all men reported
ready to work. Instead of all receiv-
ing to work, all hand leaders with the
exception of % were told that there
wasn't any work for them.
Miners Get Little Satisfaction.
Hearing these words, some of the
miners asked the mine manager if he
was going to have the work divided
He said he did not know what he was
going to do The only recourse the
miners have is in Sec. IL of the state
agreement which states part as fol-
lows:
When a part Of the miners at
any mine are thrown idle, Except
thru strike) for period of six days
Of operation they shall be entitled to
share work with the balance in the
work in manner provided, unless pro-
vided for otherwise. :" If the mine
operators refuse to let the suspended
miners have their share of work as
provided in Sec. ~ they must take
1t up under Sec. 10, paragraph ~
which reads as follows: /" If any
employe shall be suspended or dis
charged by the company, and it is
claimed that an injustice has been
done him, an investigation is to be
conducted according to paragraphs
(a) and (b) of Sec. 10. :" In the
paragraphs (a) and (b) are the rules
and manners in which all cases must
be taken up. There is no telling
when or how long you must wait for a
settlement.
Under 1917 Scale.
With the Kathleen mine working
only with mechanical leaders, the
company is getting out coal cheaper
than undeh the 1917 scale. The Off
GERS of the United Mine Workers of
Amreica are doing very little to-
wards helping the coal miners.

PEACE FARLEY
WITH RIFFIANS
BREAKS DOWN
Imperialist Powers to
Renew HostiIities
Especial to The Daily Worker,

OUJDA, French Morocco, May 6. -
The peace negotiations between
French and Spanish imper1aIists and
the Riffian tribesmen have broken
down. The attempt on the part of the
French and Spanish generals to die
tate peace to the Riff warriors has
failed.
The French and Spanish generals
tried to force the Riffians to disarm
and to agree to the exile of Abd-el-
Krim from not only the Riff country
but from the entire Musselman world.
The generals also tried to force down
the throats of the Riflans obedience
to the imperialist puppet, the Sultan
Of Morocco.
Break After Heated Conference.
The break in the peace negotiations
came after a heated two hour confer
ence between the French and Spanish
generals and the Riff emissaries.
Turnout the peace negotiations Spain
has been sending shipload after ship.
load Of troops into Morocco. France
has also reinforced her army in the
Riff country. Cannon and munitions
were brought in. Both French and
Spanish imperialists turnout the nego-
tiations prepared for a resumption Of
hostilities.
The Riff aware of the designs Of
these two imperialist powers had the
tribesmen on the alert for the first
war-like move on the part of these two
powers. The Rifian harvest has Just
about commenced. Most Of the tribes
men are busy harvesting the grain
that will be very much needed in the
coming campaign.
More Tribes Join Revolt.
A number of tribes have revolted
against French and Spanish rule.
Many of these tribes took no part in
the Riff revolt Of the past year. They
are expected to join the Riflan tribes
men in a united effort to drive out
the imperiadsts in the coming year.

new YORK SHOE
WORK E:RS PREP ARE
TO FIGHT BOSSES
5000 jam Hall to Cast
Strike Vote
By a Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK, May Six thousand
shoe workers, members Of the Amer
lean Shoe Workers Protective Union,
Inc, thronged Arcadia Hall and
cheered the announcement that the
union is prepared to resist the attack
of the bosses.
For weeks past the progressive dele
gates on the join council demanded
action but in vain. AS soon as the
bosses broke the agreement it became
evident that they sought to rein
troduce the open shop. The bosses be-
gan Immediately to sign individual
agreements with the men. The joint
council which is dominated by the
standpatters, refused to see the dan
ger. Now it has finally dawned on
them that the bosses mean to crush
the union and they called mass
meeting to vote by referendum
whether a strike should be called
whenever it is deemed necessary"
The spirit of the meeting proved
that this action had been delayed
much too long. Every mention Of a
strike was wildly applauded. When
the president was about to adjourn
the meeting, the workers in the hall
began to shout 1--WE want Kaplan! We
want Kaplan!" They wanted to hear
one of the leaders Of the progressives
1--WE called for action weeks ago,
declared Kaplan on getting the floor
but it was a cry in the wilderness
1t is not too late now to pick up the
bosses challenge and show them that
we want a union and will fight for it II
necessary"
One of the speakers, Brother Ham
son, drew great applause when he
urged the amalgamation Of all shoe
workers in order to be able to fight
the bosses more effectively. The re
suit of tho balloting will not be known
for few days.

1851 New Teachers
Placed in Lower Grades

KHARKOV, U. S. S. r., May g.
One of the problems Of the Peoples
Commissardat for Social Education in
the Ukraine is the general schooling
of the lower grades and the seven
year system" schools. In comparison
with last year, the number Of schools
have increased 2,215, making 17,15s
schools.
Army Of Teachers Grows.
Until this year the school system
was served by a staff Of only 38,8S6
teachers and 1903 technical instruct
ors. At present the staff has been In
creased by another 14.511 teachers.
Children In School.
Last year 1,466,200 Ukrainian chill.
dren attended school. During the cur.
rent year 1,776,0O0 children are in
school. Last year the schools were at
tended by 5296 of the child popula'
ton. This year 64q6 of the child popu
lation between the ages Of and II
attend schools.
Last year the government spent 10,
ass, 900 roubles for children's schools
This year the school expenditures will
be 25,7S6O0O roubles.
In order to be able to have all the
children attend school the Soviet gov
eminent of the Ukraine will have to
spend 100000 roubles. New schools
must also be constructed in order to
house these children. The Soviets
would have to spend 200,000,00
roubles at least for this construction

END WHITEWASH
OF TORTURES IN
POLISH PRISONS
Sejm Refuses to Abolish
Dark Hell-HoIes

WARSAW, Poland, (IRA) May 6. -
The investigation of the Polish pris-
ons, by Poincare and a number of
French intellectuals, which was car
ried on after a protest against the
maltretment of political prisoners, has
ended. The investigation lasted about
81 months.
Whitewash Investigation.
The investigation is of little value.
The committee visited but "a out of
the BAL Polish prisons. The aim of
the committee was to pretend to "do"
something so that the protesting
French democrats could see that "hu-
manitarian and democratic" Poland
had been slandered. It did not have
the least intention to abolish the NAL
treatment and end the sufferings of
the 5000 to 1000 political prisoners,
most of whom are Communists. The
report Of the committee failed to COW
er UP the brutahties inflicted on
these prisoners in the Polish jails.
From the report it can be seen that
dexterous system of maltreatment
and tortures are used against the pris-
oners.
Rotten Prison Conditions.
According to the reports OF the
committee in nearly all cells of the
Holy Cross prison the prisoners suf-
fered from eye diseases.
The prison doctor stated that this
was due to insufficient food. AS the
prison is in the building of an old
convent OF the Middle Ages, situated
on a high mountain and continually
surrounded by thick mist, the cells
are always cold and wet. When the
committee visited the prison. 81 Of 800
prisoners were in the hospital, due to
consumption.
In the Sejm a member of the COM
mittee declared that a death sentence
would be more humane than imprison-
ment in the Holy Cross prison where
the people perish after long tortures
and thus suffer a barbarian death SEN
tence.
In the police prison of Lemberg
where prisoners during examinations
are tortured with electricity, the com
mittee could not help to record "sys-
tenn" Of maltreatment. In Vloclavek
prisoners were maltreated. Most of
them are young girls and young men.
Refuse to Remedy Evils.
The debates on the report Of the
commission in the Sejm were very ex-
cited. The closing of the Holy Cross
prison was refused and it refused to
prosecute the prosecutor Of Vloclavek
and the Lemberg inventors of the ex-
animation with electricity. The num-
Der Of the workers and peasants who
suffer in the prisons Of the Polish
bourgeoisie increases from day to day.
Their only hope and support Is the
moral and material solidarity of the
international working class.

Passaic Strikers ADJ
dress Meeting

Nearly a thousand workers damned
the Northwest Hall Wednesday night
at the regular monthly meeting of the
Trade Union Educational League to
hear the national secretary, VIM. z,
Foster, speak on the present sltua'
tlon In England. "Outslde the Rus
sian revolution Itself, today's strike
Of all organized labor In Great Britain
Is the most splendid demonstration Of
working class solidarity that history
has ever seem" said Foster as he out
lined events since 1910 that have
served to force into line even the
most reactionary labor officials.
Traitors Forced to Strike.
Mcdonald, Henderson, Hodges and
other takers support the strike be-
cause they have to-they'd be ruined
overnight If they didn't!
Victory Predicted.
Foster stated that he believes the
strike will be won. II don't expect
revolution" he declared, mo, this is
just a pI6pdIdLOLy ShlIulbuS DuL IL
means that the workers are getting
revolutionary theology along with
strong organizations and intelligent
leadership. The rank and file have a
revolutionary state of mind that will
make It difficult for the right wing to
betray them and believe victory will
be registered, with distinct sharpen
ing of the class struggle that will
some day eliminate in a final reyolu-
ton"
Foster outlined the role of the left
wing In the British labor movement
and gave it credit for the new mill
fancy of the labor movement.
A resolution pledging support to the
British workers was read by Jack
Johnston and adopted unanimously.
Following Foster, Nancy Sandowsky
and Frank Bendie, representing the
Passaic strikers, gave the audience
some lively insights into the struggle
between the textile workers and the
mill boss and the police and appealed
for support Of the l. w. A. which is
organizing relief for the strikers.
