VIENNA - Opp - Union teachers
from IS countries attended the 4th
congress OF the Education Workers
international, which met last summer
in Vienna. Many delegates had come
without passports because their gov
ernments, being aggressively opposed
TO unionism, had refused them per-
mission to attend.
The English section, the Teachers
Labor league, reported on its activi-
ties during the general strike. Some
of its most militant members lost
their teaching licenses, and received
short prison sentences. It's active
participation in the strike gained the
league prestige, solidarity and mem
bership.
Teachers from Greece, Roumania
and Bulgaria told of the white terror
there, following the recent revolution
airy attempts. Many teachers have
been imprisoned, exiled or shot
Scores have been forced into other
trades. All real unions, including
teacher unions, are now illegal in Bull
garia and Roumania.
The Italian delegates reported anon
ymously. Under fascism genuine
trade unionism has been almost de-
stroyed. Some unions still meet, but
in secret. The Austrian and German
delegates told of the growing unem-
ployment among teachers. The Indo-
Chinese delegate described French i'm
perialism, and its drastic effect on
schools and teachers.
The reports Of the Russian dele
gates presented striking contrast.

The Education Workers Interna-

in the field Of modern labor. 1t is the

present aHecJlng the socialist party.
Since 1928, the socialist party and
the Union General de Trabajadores
! General Workers Union), have col
laborated secretly and indirectly with
the military directory. Lately, this
collaboration has been done publicly.
The National Assembly.
To create a substitute for parlia-
ment, Primo de Rivera has planned
to convoke a professional" as he
calls it, national assembly. The pre-
sidents Of chambers Of commerce and
industry, the leaders of the Union
Patriotica primo de Rivera's own
party, the Spanish catholic bishops,
and forty members of the Union Gen
eral de Trabajadores Federation of
Labor, as mentioned above), will be
elected as representatives.
The idea of such assembly has
from the very first brought opposi-
ton Of all Spanish political parties,
with the exception OF the socialist
party, who-controlling the Fedora
ton of Labor mentioned above-are
willing to accept the forty seats Of
tered the U. G. T.
In order to have the approval OF all
the party sections, the leading social
list officials are travelling turnout
Spain holding meetings and speaking
in favor of the national assembly,
with Primo de Rivera's government
giving them full protection. The CEN
sorship has allowed the press to pub
lish all the articles and speeches in
favor Of the assembly that come from
the socialists at meetings and has for
hidden the publication of anything
against them.
Socialist Split.
Indalecio Prieto has made public
declarations against the policy OF the
socialist party. He is followed by
many sections OF the party and the
Union General de Trabajadores, who
are demanding congress in order to
clear up this question.
La Nacion, the organ Of Primo de
Rivera, is defending the head leaders
of the socialist party and a few days
ago 1t said in~its columns the follow
ing words:
"The socialists have faithfully col
Elaborated with the directorate and
there can be no fear OF them"
In Prieto's letters to the socialist
party central committee, he threatens
to leave the Official party II members
OF the party attend the assembly. To
avoid this, the government will per-
NIT the party to hold convention
and favors campaign of any kind
which will mean the triumph OF the
central committee.
But It is also clear that IL the con.
vention is held, split may appear
and a new ocialist-republican party
with Prieto at its head may be
formed.
The socialist party crisis favors the
approach OF the Communist Party TO
the masses. The workingclass is be-
ginning to realize that the Communist
Party criticism of the socialists is
true.
