SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May II. - The
civil suit against Governor Len Small
was postponed by agreement of coun-
sci until 10 a. m. Wednesday, Sept. 1.
Following a conference of attorneys
prior to converting of court, Attorney
General Oscar Carlstrom announced
that in order to expedite the hearing
and relieve counsel and court of inter-
minable labor, defense and state attor-

BOSTON, Mass, May 17.-That the

could do to give immediate help to the
children of the striking workers the
following decision was unanimously
reached: "That we spare the money
for two ice creams, every week and
send it to the children Of Passaic I'M

MAY DISCUSS
FARM RELIEF
ANOTHER week
Administration Seeks to
SheIve Bills

WASHINGTON, May II. - Barring
an unexpected decision by house mem
bers to curtail debate, indications
pointed to fully a week of delay be-
fore the agricultural relief problem is
either settled or shelved for this ses-
sion of congress.
With the Haugen bill only one-third
read after two days of actual work,
administration leaders were consider
ing to limit debate.
So far the farm bloc has presented
solid front against amendments
which Representative Haugen, repub-
lican of Iowa, and other leaders have
regarded as weakening the bill.
Discord over farm relief legislation
created an open spot" on the senate
calendar with four groups struggling
to use the lull to enact their pet meas
ures.
Decision of senate leaders to post
pone consideration of farm relief bills
until after the house has passed on
them developed the legislative clash.
Advocates of the migratory game bird
bill, the Dill radio control act, the civil
service retirement bill and pension
legislation Immediately launched
drives to get their measures on the
toboggan to enactment. Only with the
help of administration leaders can any
one of the measures be successful,
owing to the combined opposition of
the other groups.

BY CLARENCE MILLER.

THE company union is formed by
l the bosses to keep the workers
from organizing into a real workers
union. At the same time It makes the
workers feel that they are organized.
The constitutions of these so-called
unions are such that they are simply
llckspittIes Of the bosses. When the
workers do try to form union and
90 out on strike they use this "union"
as a strlke-breaking agency That Is
what the Forstmann G. HUFFMAN Co.
In Passac is now doing.
The needs of the workers, young
and old, is more wages, shorter hours,
and more sanitary conditions, and
these are achieved only thru the strug
gle of the real union, and, what more,
these union workers gain in self
respect and self-reliance in their
struggles thru these conditions.
Kills Self-Reliance.
The company union, on the other
hand, not only kills in the young
worker that feeling of self-reliance
and self-respect but it also makes the
workers better and more willing
slaves. Hand in hand with company
unions usually go the speed-up sys-
tenn called efficiency production" To
the workers it is known as the bonus
system, piece work, time rate work
or by some other similar name. All
this is for the sake of increasing the
bosses profit.
The company unions are especially
detrimental to the young workers.
The young workers get extra service
in getting their self-respect killed by
this kind of bosses union. 1t offers
them plenty Of dances, hikes and ex-
cursions, baseball, football, socker and
every other sport. 1t offers them
magazines and newspapers especially
edited for them,- containing plenty of
jokes. On holidays speakers tell these

CONSTITUTION
BIC ISSUE AT
CREATION MEET
Progressives Watch for
Reactionary Jokers

CLEVELAND, May 1.-THE nine
teenth session of the Croatian Frater-
nal Union was taken up with dis
cussion of the new constitution. The
progressive delegates, many of whom
are active trades union members, paid
very great attention to the new con-
stitution to see to it that no jokers
were put in by which the reaction
aries could at all times get the bet
ter of the progressive delegates.
Those delegates, who are members Of
trade unions and have seen how con-
situations operate in some of the
unions against the progressives, were
determined to remedy that evil at the
first opportunity in this convention.
Article 100, which allows the exc
cutive committee to appoint agents or
organizers to get new members into
the society was contested by the pro-
gressive delegates. Delegate Mary
Mrnjec pointed out that there was no
need to have any special agents to
get in new members as each mem
Der should see the need to- get in
members and that it was only in that
way could the organization expect to
grow.
every member of the organization
should be the agent who will bring in
new members to our organization and
work in the interests of the organiza-
tion," declared Mrnjec.
Following the opening Of the TWEEN
tieth session of the convention, bou-
quet Of flowers was handed to the re-
dictionary leader Lupis Of Chicago.
The bouquet was handed to him by
his friends for his work in 'unifying
the two organizations" This present
alton of the bouquet was met with a
great laugh from the delegates, as
LUPUS and a number of other reac-
tionaries obtained an injunction
against the unity move and forced the
organization involved to spend $780,
900 in order to accomplish unity.

All of this tends to divert the young

the young workers have is used solely
for sports and other entertainments,
of course offered by the company
union.

of the young workers and thereby de-
veloping their self-respect and self
reliance, the company union takes
special efforts to see that the young
worker has plenty of amusements and
nothing else during his leisure time.
The young workers are usually not
given a chance to work on any Of the
important committees of the company
union. The company union pushes
forward to the responsible positions
only those whom they are sure to
control. These are usually trained
stool pigeons and spies and those who
are willing to become traitors for q

Kuominchun Prepares to
Capture Picking

PEKING, May 17.-Premier Yen is
not able to get single member he
appointed to the new regency cabinet
to assume office as long as the mill
tarists insist on money to carry on
their ventures.
Plan to Take Picking.
The Kuominchun army, realizing
that the imperialist tools, Chang Tso-
Lin and WI Pei-Fu, are determined to
annihilate them, have concentrated
their forces and are expected to
emerge from Nankow Pass and obtain
needed food and supplies by capturing
Picking. The Kuominchun army was
forced to evacute Picking following a
betrayal by WI Pei-Fu
The Kuominchun army and WI Pei
Flu carried on negotiations to launch
a concerted attack on Chang Tso-Lin
Wu-Pei-Fu, an imperialist tool, carried
on these negotiations and then at a
least expected moment united with
Chang Tso-Lin in a drive on Picking.
Their purpose was to crush the KuO-
minchun. The Kuominchun withdrew
in orderly fashion and is now prepar-
ing to make nattack on the imperial
list forces quartered in the city.
Natives Await Kuomlnchun.
Soldiers under Chang Tso-Lin and
WI Pei-Fu have robbed, raped and
terrorized the natives in and around
Picking. These natives, who were neu-
trail in the fight between these two
imperialist tools and the Kuominchun,
are now impatiently awaiting the way
when the Kuominchun forces will ad-
vance on Picking.

OOlhS SuCOuHIereu is the lack OF
equipment and facilities.
Particular attention is paid to the
physical training of the school stu
dents. Scientific works on physical
culture are being published in great
volume. The Ukrainiap physical cul-
ture organization publishes the best
magazine in the Soviet Union.
After Comrade Pretzenko reported,
Comrade Reissner, secretary of the
Red Sport International took the floor.
In his speech he pointed out that the
bourgeoisie know very well the value
of physical culture movement and is
making good use of it to strengthen
its control over the proletariat. The
capitalist sport organizations are very
strong. In Germany, the bourgeoisie
sport organizations number close to
100000 and in Czecho-Slovakia and
France close to million. With the
help of these organizations the CAPT
talists are educating the workers in
the spirit of chauvinism, imperialism,
and fascism.
However, the workers are beginning
to understand that the capitalist
sports organizations are not leading
them in the direction in which their
real interests lie. They are beginning
to realize that they must have prole-
tartan sports organizations which are
based on their class interests.
With this in mind larger and larger
numbers of workers are deserving the
bourgeois sports organizations and
adhering to the red sports interna
tional.
One Of the concluding actions OF
the congress was to decide on the
staging of an International working
class sport Olympiad during 1928.
