fraud the government of $780,

insofar as is known, no newspaper
man here has yet availed himself OF
this remarkable opportunity to avoid
the trouble Of getting his own

For the newspaper men just don't
believe in Santa Claus. And when
one side in an important criminal
trial writes its own narrative Of

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES j. MONTAGUE
WELL DESERVED


"Violet rays brings Joy to bats
A cable from London.
1 feel quite sorry for the bat
AS through the velvet night he
flutters,
vince to hear the wailings that
With his small squeaky voice he
utters.
No wonder that he can't be gay,
From sun-up to the dark he covers
Nor ever sees the light of day
Or views the hills and skies and
flowers.
And therefore I rejoice to hear
That kindly, joy dispensing science
Has brought the bat little cheer
With it's new violet-ray appliance.
AS he hangs up, with folded wings,
In some dim barn or chimney sooty,
At last his heart within him sings
For he hes learned the bliss of
beauty.
But violet-ray machines are few
And bats abound in myriad numbers
And, up to date, but one or two
Have been aroused from gloomy
slumbers
To look upon a world of light,
And squeak their ardent admiration
OF verdant grass, and meadows bright
And all the wonders Of creation.
I trust that every bat may soon
Be torn from where he sleeps
secreted,
To share the great and priceless boon
To which his fellows have bean
treated.
And. that the beauties of the earth
May stir and waken and renew him,
And fill his once sad soul with mirth,
He surely has it coming to him.

SCULPTOR is CONVERT
TO PROLETARIAN ART;
WORKERS AS MODELS

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 2s.-The
new proletarlan art has found an ar
dent supporter in Max Kalsh, To-
cal sculptor. Returning from a trip
to Europe, he has exhibited his five
latest pieces of sculpture, for which
working men posed. He admits that
he is now finding his Inspiration in
oVeralls. Working men, he says,
are as full of grace and beauty as
Greek gods.
Gin most of my new groups of fig
ures," Kallsh says, al have attempt
ed to carry out by idea that the
modern artist, living in an indus
trial age, must depend on workmen
for his subjects.
"The old Greek sculptors found
themselves living in an age of sports
and games. SO it was only natural
that they took the athlete for their
subject.
To-day we are living in an in
dustrIaI age. Consequently ! can
find more beauty of form in the
Iaborer than the ancient sculptor
discovered in the athlete"

Paper Box Strikers
Set Up Restaurant

NEW YORK. Nov. 2S.-Every strik-
'ng paper box worker and his family
may eat free of charge at the restau-
rant established by the Paper Box
Makers Union in the Church of All
Nations building. George Powers,
chairman strikers relief committee, is
in charge of the restaurant. Bread
will be donated by the bakers union
and the United Councils of Working
class Housewives will raise funds to
buy other food.
Fred Caiola, manager Of the union,
finds that the response to the strik-
ers' appeal for funds from other un-
ions will help the fight for the 44-hour
week, collective bargaining and min
imum scale of wages. Paper box
manufacturers, organized in an asso-
citation, are endeayoring to establish
complete open shop conditions. New
York police still cooperate with them
in this attempt by riding on each
strike-breaking delivery wagon leav-
ing paper box factories.

with the unions council. The unions

WORKERS SCHOOL.
LARGEST LABOR
COLLEGE IN U. S.
Thousand Students Are
Enrolled
BY AL scHAAP.
Worker Correspondent)

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-With fall
enrolment of 1000 students, the
Workers School has become the larg-
est labor college in America. Altho
the addition of new building to
school quarters doubled its floor
space, enrolment jumped from 300
last year and has severely taxed even
the enlarged facilities.
"The workers response to the
school has proved the decisive sue
cess of a broad left wing labor col
lege," declared Director Bertram d.
Wolfe. "Our enrolment of 1000 by
no means represents the number who
want to take courses, more than
100 have already being excluded, due
simply to lack of space. Dozens of
prospective students are applying
daily"
Draws Non-Members.
The new policy of the school has
drawn in students, instructors and
even members of the advisory board
who are not party members, in an
effort to establish an educational CEN
er for all militant left wing members.
Eighty per cent of the students are
members of trade unions.
Emphasis has been placed on Ameri-
can working-class problems, declared
Wolfe. "Altho we are teaching 40 diff
ferent classes" he said, leach one is
handled in a manner best suited for
the needs Of students who work in
factories and shops and study by
night. We are graphing in every
class with the pressing, practical prob
lens confronting the labor movement.
Even the important theoretical classes
keep the application of their theories
to American workers needs ever fore
most in mind"
Unions Interested.
New York's trade unions are taking
an active interest in the progress of
the Workers School. Many are send
ing promising students, with tuition
paid, to train themselves In the school.
These students, Wolfe pointed out,
will return to their unions better
equipped to take up their problems
and to serve effectively.
"The policy of the Workers School,"
the director emphasized, differs from
that of other so-called workers
schools. Our school is interested first,
asst and all the time in educating the
workers for effective service to the
working class. Other schools dilly-
daily in promoting general culture
Correspondence Courses Planned.
Due to the heavy registration and
the pressing need for such a school
as ours, plans are being formulated TO
give the school broader field by ini-
tiating correspondence and circuit
courses. The circuit courses will
bring teachers and lecturers to New
Jersey, New York state and Connect
cut industrial centers.
Interested workers should write to
the Workers School, 10S East 14th
street, New York City, for catalog and
information.
