State Insurance Cut
May Choke Exploiters

SYDNEY-(FP)-So successful has
been the state insurance office in New
South Wales that the Labor govern
ment has ordered reduction of one
third in the premium rates for worker
compensation. The private insurance
companies are angry at the govern
ment's action, since they will have to
reduce their rates also. Many are
going out Of the worker compensation
business.
The government is about to launch
out on a home-building scheme for the
workers. The government will follow
the Queensland example of advancing
to the workers almost the full pur-
chase money, repayable by install
ments, and hold as security a life in
surance policy of the worker.

REVERE MEMORY
OF CHICACO'S 5
LABOR MARTYRS
Observe the Memorable
Day: Nov. II, 1886

Albert r. Parsons, one of the most
active spirits in the labor movement
of the sos Of the last century, was
leader in the eight-hour day campaign
of that period. An excellent speaker,
agitator and, organizer, he was one of
the most popular working class
figures in Chicago.
Framed-Up.
After the famous Haymarket riot,
when a number of his comrades were
arrested and charged with having
thrown a bomb at the meeting, he
voluntarily surrendered himself in
court to be tried with his colleagues.
He was sentenced together with Louis
Lingg, Engel, Spies and Adolph Fisher
to be hung, after a thoroughly shame
full trial, with a prejudiced jury, and
judge whose reactionary class in
stincts were shown at every stage of
the proceedings Lingg was either
murdered, or committed suicide on the
eve of his proposed execution. The
other martyrs went bravely and un-
finchingly to their death.
Just as the trap was sprung Spies
called out from beneath the hood
which enveloped his head:
Last Words.
"There will come a time when our
silence will be more powerful than the
voices you are throttling today!"
Parsons last words-"Let the voice
of the people be heard" were choked
at the signal of the executioner when
the moose frightened about his throat
and strangled him.
At Turner Hall.
Since that day, November IL, 1887,
workers everywhere have gathered
every year to commemorate the Hay
market martyrs. The Pioneer Aid
association, an organization which has
kept alive their memory for two score
years. and has maintained their graves
and monument in Waldheim Cemetery,
together with the International Labor
Defense, will hold Haymarket mem
orial meeting at Social Turner Hall,
Paulina and Belmont, on Thursday,
November 18th, with Emil Arnold,
president of Painters Union, Local
275, James P. Cannon, national sec
rotary of international Labor Defense,
and Matilda Kalousek, who will speak
in Czecho-Slovak. All workers are
urged to attend. Admission is free.

Bosses seek chic workers.

NEW YORK (FP) - More child
workers are wanted by the Natl. Assn.
of Manufacturers. The association Is
charged by the Natl. Child Labor COM
mittee with opening new campaign
with its committee report advocating
that children be allowed to quit school
and go to work at IA. The manu-
facturers claim that modern educa-
tionaI research sanctions such move.
The Natl. Child Labor committee,
fighting for quarter century for child
protection, asserts on the contrary
that recent scientific investigation
justifes their stand that children
should remain in school at least I'M
til 16.

Young UphOlsterers
Enter Fourth Strike
Week in Hartford

HARTFORD, Conn, - Faced with
two injunctions, with eight strikers
arrested and with the union being
sued for $2OQOO.OO the strike of the
Upholsterers Local Union No. 35
enters in its fourth week of bitter
struggle.
One of the firms, Goldman Bros has
already signed an agreement with the
union, but two largest manufacturers,
, the Acme Upholstering Co., and B.
Dworkin & Co. have secured injunc-
tions forhidding picketing and suing
the union for 100000 apiece. The
unions request to dissolve the injunc-
ton will be heard by the superior
court on Wednesday, November 3,
1926. The case Of several strikers
charged with contempt of court will
also be tried at that time.
Entire Industry Tied Up.
For two years the Upholsterers of
Hartford have been trying to build a
union. Active union men were fired
and the bosses tried to force yellow
dog contracts upon the workers.
These attempt however all failed and
now the entire Industry in Hartford is
tied up. The other shop of the B.
Dworkin Co. in Springfield, Mass. has
also been pulled out and this concern
that has been fighting the union for
years is crippled.
The Upholsterers International I'm
ion is giving great deal of organiza-
tional and financial aid to these strik-
ers. In fact all the local unions in
this industry are taking a great in
terest in this strike, as because thru
long hours, low wages and brutal ex-
ploitation Of young workers, the Hart
ford manufacturers were able to com
pete with the organized centers.
c. L. U. Promise Aid.
The Central Labor Union of Hart
ford has also promised financial aid
and help in securing a favorable set
Element. With all these things in their
favor the strikers expect speedy vic
tory.
In organized centers the union per
mits only one apprentice to five
journeymen, but in Hartford and
other non-union centers the manufac,
,turers have forced down their manu-
featuring costs thru the intense ex-
ploitation of four or five apprentices
to one journeyman. They thought that
thru the use of young workers they
would be safe from the union. In fact
the bosses raise the wages of the
mechanics in an effort to separate
/ them from the apprentices who due
to low wages and unhealthy condi-
lions were beginning to think of or
ganizing a union. But all this proved
useless, because the young upholster-
ers of Hartford learned the value of a
union and when they went on strike
they were able to take the majority
of the adult workers with them.
The young upholsterers of Hartford
as the young textile workers of Pas
sale have proven themselves good
strikers as well as loyal union men.

NEW YORK. Nov. 9.--Two Pullme

ports received in the national head
quarters of the Brotherhood of Sleel

superintendent Mitchell Of the
Pennsylvania district, and Superin-
tendent Burr of the st. Louis district
noted for brow-beatiDg and threaten
ing porters who have refused to vote
in the company union elections, have
been forced to change their tactics by
the militant campaign of the Brother
hood exposing their Simon Legree
methods.
At the beginning of the elections
now in progress many porters were
sent to the offices of Superintendent
Mitchell with notice "See Mitchell
in regard to refusing to vote" The
Brotherhood is in possession of sew
eral of these notices.
Fake Elections.
The Pullman company has made
the forcing of the vote a definite pol
icy, both in the Employee Representa-
ton Plan and in its cousin, the Pull
man Porters' Benefit Association.

Only the fighting spirit displayed by

Youth Won in PhiILy
Membership Drive

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.,-Our league
is awakening! The period Of inactivi-
ty, inevitable tho it was after the re-
organization, is past We may we'll
say, that our comrades realize their
tasks now, and with real revolutionary
fervor have thrown themselves into
our various activities.
1t is understood, that our main tasks
at the present are the membership
drive and the Young Worker sub
campaign.
We started the membership drive
(officially) on International Youth
Day. Altho we did not take in any
new members then, but we succeeded
in lining up our membership on the
drive, and win some sympathizers.
The campaign is conducted with the
view of reaching the real American
working class youth, and the heavy
industries are concentrated on mostly
Special leaflets are distributed at the
shops and factories, and affairs to
which the young workers are invited.
are being arranged. Individual re-
cruiting is stressed great deal, as
we'll as mass meetings.
Win Negro Youth.
Our comrades seem to have fully
understood the significance of the
campaign. for already we have some
good results. First we have succeeded
in winning back a number Of old
league members who fell out during
the reorganization, and we got them
busy in all our activities. We have
also taken in some new members, OF
whom the most important are 6 Negro
Young Workers. Thru them we hope
to reach the masses Of young Negro
workers, and get them into our move
ment. The campaign has just started,
and we have outlined full details Of
work for the entire campaign. OF great
| Importance is a mass meeting of Oct.
80, with Trumbull and Bentall as
the principal speakers.
The campaign will END with grand
ball, which in itself will serve as re-
cruiting means. We expect to have
much greater membership by the end
of the campaign, but what's more inn
portant, we will have an active mem
bership
Push Sub Drive.
Not less important in our work, is
the Young Worker sub drive. To be-
gin with we expect to exceed our
quota of 300 subs. Already a number
Of renewals and new subs have been
sent in to the ~ o., just at the outset
Of the drive.
The first step taken by the D. p. G.
to insure a successful drive, was to
organize a special Young Worker COM
mittee including in it all Y. w. agents,
and that committee began functioning
Immediately. Boosters clubs are being
organized thruout the district. A gen.
eral affair for financial aid is arranged
for the near future. Our slogan is:
"The Young Worker must exist"
Although we concentrate mostly on
these two campaigns, other activities
are not neglected. We are doing good
organizational work in the anthracite.
We carry on anti-militarist activity,
sports and other work.
Our aim is 10 make the league big
ger and stronger, and therefore we
must makeseyery campaign a success.
We are doing it, Yes we are doing
