Train Executives
And Technologists
BY STANLEY BOONE.
worker Correspondentl

DETROIT, Oct. 24.-The General
Motors Corp. is investing about $780,
600 in the initial unit of what is to be
known as the General Motors Insti-
tute Of Technology at Flint, Mich, a
motor center in the Detroit Industrial
district.
The corporations plan is to train
technologists and executives for its
factories. Students who wish to rise
above their fellow-workers and climb
into the upper-grade turnkey class I'M
der the auspices of the G. NJ. C. will
be able to attend part-time classes
and support themselves by part-time
work in factory.
The G. M. c. will benefit from labo-
ratory experiment as we'll as from the
services of the graduates. The Ford
Motor Co. for several years has con-
Quoted classes for a select list of
employees, but the G. M. c. plans to
develop engineers as well as shop
foremen. II plans to conduct the in
s;itute with standards equal to those
of the MASSACHUSETTS Institute of
Technology. The first unit will be a
three-story building with a capacity
for 1000 students on 10-acre campus.
Probably in this school there will
be no radical or liberal student minor
ity expression.

Tampa Cigar Makers
Again Win Readers
in the Work Shops

TAMPA, Fla, Oct. 24.-The cigar
makers of Tampa have again won
from the employers the demand for a
reader" in the work shops where the
cigars are rolled.
This custom is quite old among
cigarmakers OF Cuba and the Florida
cigarmakers. The employer pays the
wages of one man, member OF the
union, to sit in the center OF the
cigarmakers and read TO them as they
work. The workers usually choose
what they wish TO have read, news.
stories. fiction, science and studies
Of the labor movement!
The Tampa workers lost their read
ers't for some time, but have regained
them now. This relieves the monot-
ony of their work.

BOSTON, Oct. 24.-The Boston Cen
trail Labor Union is making plans for
the erection OF a labor temple. The
plans are being prepared by com
mittee of five, composed of delegates
from the transfers, carpenters and
painters.
Trade reports given by various dele
gates were encouraging. The BARRIERS
have succeeded in organizing several
shops in the north end, as well as out
Of town; the cigarmakers announced
the beginning of an extensive New
England campaign in their trade:
President Kearney asked for com
mittee to call on hotels unfair to la
Dor, such as the Palais Royal; the
milk drivers thanked organized labor
for helping in their boycott of non
union milk dealers, and suggested get
ting more assistance and cooperation
from the wives of unionists who still
patronize Hoods.
"The crucial period of the textile
strike has been reached" De Santo. a
Passaic striker, told the meeting, in
announcing that the motion picture

children at Tremon Temple, Boston,
October 26.
In accordance with instructions sent
by Green from the A. F. Of L. conven.
ton, the meeting accepted the report
Iof the executive board without pro.
test and endorsed the candidacy OF
David |. Walsh. But Carpenters Lo
cal s54, Bakers Local as, the Milk
Drivers Union, upholsterers and the
ether labor unions which were handed
lnjunctions in their legitimate activity
of organizing the workers in their
trades during Walsh's governorship-
and against which he never raised his
voice-have a longer memory. They
will remember, as will every progress
sive unionist, that eighteen injunc
lions were served against labor dur
ing Walsh's incumbency, and "Tnjunc
zion Judge Pierce" was promoted tc
the supreme court for his good worl
in behalf of employers. And in spite
Of Green's letter and the endorsement
of the Central Labor Union, these
workers will show David 1. Walsh
now posing as friend Of labor,
that they are solidly against him and
know him as an enemy.

ficers will take their places and Ale1

DBAR COMRADES: The civil war
- and the famine badly affected the
state Of health of the Russian worker.
They left them as Inheritance the tu-
berculosis and the general weakness
OF the human organism. Therefore, it
is comprehensive that our first care
is the care about the health. BY the
way, we can be proud about something
in connection with this cause. The
thousands of Houses for the Rest"
and sanitariums which are spread
turnout the territory of the Soviets
are speaking for themselves. When
the winter cold is still outdoors the
thots about the health resorts during
the summer time are already troubling
our minds.
Fortunately there is nothing diff
cult for us to realize this. One has
to go in the controlling medical COM
mission. There he will be examined
by the pecialists-doctors who will
find out his illness and order a cure
accordingly. If his state of health re-
quires a treatment in the health re-
sorts then he gets it. He has to &C.
complish certain formalities, namely:
to get some necessary papers, money
etc. Several days later he is on the
spot.
Beautiful Locations.
TN great number these wonderful
L places are situated ia the most
beautiful districts of U. S. S. r.
in Crimea and Caucasus.
Only recently a group Of the work
ers of our factory amongst whom ! was
also went to a sanitarium Of Crimea.
This sanitarium is situated on the sea-
shore. The scenery of the surround
ings is picturesque and makes you
happy and jolly. Thousands Of work
ers.- bodies are enjoying the hot cur
able rays of the Crimean sun.
Come from Many Parts.
ENROM all parts of the U. s. S. r.
L the workers come here. You can
meet here Russians, Jakuts, Cherces-
slams, and White-Russians. The sani-
tarium admits the workers of all ma
tionalities. The foods are here in
abundance. Five times daily the bell
rings calling the guests to the table.
You find there cocoa, eggs, butter and
cakes. The day in the sanitarium
means to sleep, to walk and to eat.
Cinematograph, a theater, library
as we'll as the different games and sea
sports are offered to the disposal Of
the guests while they promenade.
During the whole day the doctors are
watching the sick people. carefully no
ticing the alteration OF their health
and so altering also the method OF the
cure. The medical attendance in the
sanitarium is of high level The water
treatment exists absolutely in all san
itariums as we'll as the electro-cabi'
nets, etc.
Put on Weight.
TN any case generally patient gets
an increase OF about 20 pounds In
weight after one and one-half months
of treatment and returns home with
restored health. And all this is free
of charge.
But besides the sick there are many
amongst the working people who are
not suffering from any particular Ill
ness, but are only weak. Therefore,
one would think that not being sent

And his grandfather was a very i'm
portant person. Everybody called him
Squire; sometimes they said your
honor" most people touched their hats
to him. When his father went off to
the war, he and his mother came to
live at "grandpa's house"
His father was the biggest man in
all the world. there could be no doubt
about that. Why, he was bigger even
than grandpa, or Doctor Flint, or the
parson, or Mr.. Carter, who lived in the
cabin next door and was Minda's ia
ther. For the matter Of that, he was,
himself, a great deal bigger than Min
da, who was only two years old and
could not say anywhere near as many
words as he could say-and did not
know her A B Cs, or the Golden Rule,
or who George Washington was.
He was very fond Of Minda's moth
er, "Auntie' Rachel. She was good to
him. She gave him cakes and crullers
and spread maple sugar on many sur
reptitious piece Of bread and butter,
and she had jolly way Of laughing.
and she never told him to wash his
hands or face, no matter how dirty they
were. In that one respect, at least,
she was much nicer than his mother.
He was four when they brought Mr..
Carter home In wagon one day. Some
men carried him into the house, and
Aunt Rachel cried, and his mother
went over and stayed long, long time
with her, and his father got on his
horse and rode of as fast az he could
go for Doctor Flint, and he was not al
lowed to 60 outside the house all day
or old Boose would get him.
His father did the chores" for
"Auntie" Rachel for a long time, be-,
cause Mr.. Carter was not there to at
tend to them.
There came day when the buds
were fresh on the twigs, and the grass
was very green, and the birds that had
been gone for a long time were sing
ing again In the trees, and 1t was not
raining. So he went down the road to
play in Minda's yard. He called to her,
but she did not appear. No one ap-

PROLOGUE
The Beginning.

Kenneth Gwynne was f1ve years old
Carter, a widow. This was in the
spring Of 1912, and in the fall his
mother died. His grandparents brought
him up to hate Rachel Carter, an evil
woman.
She was his mothers friend and she
had slain her with the viper's tooth.
From the day that his questioning in
telligence seized upon the truth that
had been so carefully withheld from
him by his broken-hearted mother and
those who spoke behind the hand when
he was near-from that day he hated
Rachel Carter with all his hot and out
ragged heart. He came to think of her
as the embodiment of all that was evil.
He rejOiced in the belief that In good
time Rachel Carter would come to
roast in the everlasting fires of hell,
groveling and wailing at the feet Of
Satan, the while hts lovely mother
looked down upon her in pity-even
then he wondered II such thing were
possible-from her seat beside God In
His Heaven He had no doubts about
this He'll and Heaven were real to
htpa, and all sinners went below. On
tlts other hand, his father would be
permitted to repent and would instant
" 20 to Heaven. It was incOnceivable
that his big, strong, well-beloved father
should 20 to the bad place. But Mrs.
Carter would Nothing could save her |!
God would not pay any attention to
her If she tried to repent; he would
knov it was only "make-believe" If she
got down on her knees and prayed for
forgiveness. He was convinced that
Rachel Garter could not fool God.
At frst they told him his father had
gone of as a soldier to fight against
the Indians and the British. He knew
that q war was going on. Men with
guns were drilling In the pasture up
beyond his grandfather's house, and
there was talk Of Indian "massacres, ),
and simon Girty's warriors, and Brit
ish redcoats. He overheard his grand
father and the nsighbors discussing a
battle on Lake Erie, and rejoiced with
them over the report Of great victory
fory"our side" Vaguely he had grasped
the news Of q horrible battle on the
Tippeeanoe river, far away in the will
dsrnsss to the north and west, In
which millions Of Indians were slain,
and he wondered how many OF them
his father had killed with his rifle
a weapon 20 big and long that he came
lees than hah way up the barrel when
he stood beside 1t.
And then, In the fall, his mother
went away and left him. They did not
tell him she had gone to the war He
would not have believed them II they
had, for she was too sick to go. She
had been in bed for long, long time
the doctor came to see her every day,
and finally the preacher. He hated

A hosiery company rents Offices in the
shopping district Soon an attractive
offer is made through the local news
papers by eleverly worded advertise
ments in which it would appear that
any young lady can secure five pairs
of hose worth 81 pair for only 81.
In other words, $40 worth of silk
stockings for only 81! Without stop
ping to analyze the proposition OF to
consider how impossible it is for any
concern to stay in business and sell
$40 worth Of silk hose for 81, thou
sands of young women instantly fall
for the scheme.
How Endless Chain Catches Victims
Here is how it catches its victims.
Each victim pays 81 and receives
three one dollar coupons which she
must sell to her friends. and the
friends must come In and pay down
81 each, get three coupons each which
they must sell to three friends and
then these friends must perpetuate
Tic ooHCIi6 Ny oolllHS coupons u luFiT
friends and so on indefinitely.
Here is where the promoters make
cleanup. One of the conditions
which must be met before the young
woman who purchased the first cou.
pons receives her $40 worth of hose
for 81 is that all three to whom she
sold her three coupons must come in
pay down 81 each for three more cou
pons and then go out and sell them
Before the three have done this, one or
perhaps all three get cold feet" on
the proposition and, rather than go out
and soak" three of their friends 81
each, they simply give up the job and
charge their loss to experience. But
in doing SO they also block the CIR
who purchased the first coupons from
completing her contract and of course
she, too, loses the money she invested
in the scheme.
At glance the loss appears to be
small, but the truth is the scheme i.
capable of such great expansion tha
it soon takes in hundreds and thou
sands Of victims. This is but one O
many endless chain schemes in ust
today in the United States.
