Have Classes.
Some corporations have developed
classes for their employees paraneling
the workers education classes Of
the local labor movement. The Bos-
ton Elevated Railway provides
courses in applied sociology, parlia-
mentary law, public speaking, first
aid, accident prevention and current
events. Harvard professors take the
chair at these classes. Other COM
panics have conducted special classes
for foreign-boIn workers to teach
them English, civics and the en-
ployer's complete Americanization
philosophy. Big companies such as
Goodyear Rubber have special club
rooms, class rooms, and auditoriums
for the work.
Other companies confine their edu-
cation in economics to occasional ex-
plantations Of the companys balance
sheet. The workers are taught to
sympathize with the employers posi-
ton. Thus the ground is ploughed
and sown for wage cause speedups
and anti-unionism.

Jim Crow School Ukase

ASBURY PARK, N. j., March 13.
Eugene r. Hayne, a Negro lawyer,
announced today that he had started
action to prevent the Toms River
school officials from enforcing the
ruling made yesterday that the twen-
ty-five Negro children in the Berkeley
section who have been to school for
nearly six weeks will go to the separ-
ate class provided for them or they

listed the aid Of the National Asso-
citation for Advancement of the Col

Of Toms River decided to separate
thirty children of the Negro families
from the write pupils, and place them

Comrades and
Fellow Workers:

After a years heroic struggle of
the Passaic textile workers, the mill
barons were forced to submit to a
union in the textile industry of Pas
sale. They are however putting OBJ
stacles in the way of maintaining
such an organization. Although the
strike is almost over, they are taking
the workers back very slowly, with
the result that thousands Of families
are without means of existence. Their
children are hungry.
There are many families whose sole
supporters were sent to Jail for long
periods because Of their activities IN
the strike. You must come to their
rescue. Relief must go on with full
speed
The General Relief Committee. who
is maintaining a few food stores in
Passaic, appeals to all those who have
taken milk coupons to send in their
money as soon as possible, no matter
how much you have collected. Send
the money Immediately to the Gen.
eral Relief Committee, 799 Broadway,

Fresh Human Skulls
Sent Thru u. S. Mail,
Then Thrown on Dump

HARTSDALE, N. Y, March 13.-
The police here today were investigat-
ing the finding of two fresh human
skulls, which were found on the side
walk in front of the bank building
here late yesterday.
A check is being made in an effort
to determine where the skulls came
from. They had been wrapped in a
Philadelphia newspaper, and bound
around again with heavy wrapping
paper. The package apparently had
come through the mails, as it bore a
Connecticut postmark. Although the
mark was almost obliterated, investi-
cation showed that the package had
been mailed either from Norwich or
Norwalk, Conn.

HAITIAN
COMMENT BARS
Sen. VIM. H. KING
American-Made Official
Resents Expose

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 13.
Because he has pointed out that
Haiti has no government of its own
but is ruled by General Russell Of the
United States Marines, Senator Will
liam II, King will be excluded from
Haiti by Louis Borno, so-called presi-
dent Of Haiti and puppet Of the
American sugar interests and Of the
National City Bank.
Kings resolution introduced in the
senate May, 1926, opposing further
American Intervention in Haiti, his
attacks on Borno, who, according to
the Haitian constitution is ineligible
for the presidency, and the fear that
his presence in Hai6 would Create
a general feeling Of unrest and in
security" among the natives are cited
by Foreign Minister Camille Leon as
the reasons for Kings exclusion.
That the Haitian government has
been set up by the United States and
4hat Borno and Leon are the puppets
of American interests has been point
ed out by Senator King ON a num-
ber of occasions. General Russell,
who has been clothed with the eu-
phonious title of High Commits
sioner and Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary Of the Uni
ted States to the Republic of Haiti"
and who has been appointed by the
president without the consent Of the
senate is actually in control of Haiti
King declared in a speech in the SEN
ate.
Precedent for Diaz.
1t is unlikely that Secretary Of
State Kellogg will protest the exclu-
sion of Senator King.
The action of the Haitian figure
head government may serve as a pre-
cedent for puppets like Diaz Of Mic
aragua to bar senatorial investi-
eating committees from Nicaragua
and other Latin-American countries.
Senator King is at present in Porto
Rico. He proposed to visit Haiti to
investigate conditions there.

INTERNATIONAL
FORCE IN SAAR
Another Tempest Over;
Geneva Quiets Down

GENEVA, March 13.-The much
muddled Council of the League of
Nations has just escaped another
threatened official "crisis" with Ger
many. A compromise on the future
control Of the Saar Valley has been
reached when it seemed probable
that Germany would have to face the
embarrassment of an adverse vote in
the council
Herr Stresemann insisted that the
present army of occupation be with
drawn from the Saar and that 800
international guards" be substi-
tuted.
After two days Of official OBJ
stinacy, NJ. BRAND of France finally
agreed to the demands Of the Ger
man representative defective with
in three months. Instead of the "in-
ternational guards" asked by Strese-
mann, however, it was agreed that the
present army of occupation be re-
placed by a force Of 800, inter-allied
in character.

DOCUMENT SHOWS
U. S. PROCURED
DIAz'S ELECTION
State Department Tries
To Deny Legation Order

WASHINGTON, March 13. - For
being "indiscreet" about making the
statement that he had been instruc-
ted by the state department to make
sure of the election of Adolf Diaz as
president Of Nicaragua, Lawrence
Dennis, third secretary Of the Amer
lean legation at ManaguaO has been
severely criticized by the authorities
here.
The official "deniaP' was made by
Acting Secretary of State Grow; it
is not expected that a shake-up will
take place in the Division of Current
Information which is the technical
name for the publicity bureau of the
u. S. state department.
Thin Defense.
Administration officials in the state
department who have been specialize
ing in the Niearaguan war, said that
they could not remember any such
Instructions and declared that if any
such document existed, cit was prob
ably a forgery"
According to the report, the docu-
ment was received at Managua in the
American diplomatic pouch. Just how
a forged document could get into the
pouch is hard to understand, since the
official mail is ordinarily carefully
guarded
Reckless Expense.
There IS hint that the document
may have been "of Mexican origin, !"
smuggled into the pouch through some
leak but no responsible official is
prepared to stand for such flimsy
statement, which admittedly requires
a long stretch of the imagination.
Senator Borah said today he ex-
pected to examine Dennis shortly with
a view to finding out just what in
structions he did receive from the
state department.

Ten Thousand Foreign

MEXICO CITY, March 13.-Over
10000 foreign investors have regist-
cred their properties in accordance
with Article 81 of the Mexican Con-
stitutiou, which has caused such
terror among those American capi-
talists whose titles to property in
Mexico are felt to be somewhat
dubious.
Immigration Surplus
EMIGRATION from Mexico in 1925
is figured at 81,757 persons accord
ing to Mexico's National Statistical
Bureau as against an immigration of
1878 While the net gain in
Mexico's favor is 15,579, the fact that
this figure includes Mexicans return
ing to the country after seasonal
work in the United States must be
taken into account.
Health Education
The Department of Public Health
in Mexico is carrying on a widespread

the most elementary lessons in health
are being taught to the people.

One of the outstanding notes in the
government economic policy is that
taking a cue from Amerieans)
Mexico's resources should be utilized
for the benefit of the Mexican peo-
pie. This is the simple explanation
of all the fuss mat has been caused
by the attempt at enforcement of
Article 27 of the Mexican Constitu-
tion, requiring. that property held by
foreign capitalists be registered with
the Department of State.
Teach independence.
The open threats of imperialist
domination by the United States has
given added impetus to the program
for economic independence. A new
note has been added to the struggle
of the Mexican people to keep them
selves free from the financial wiles
of American capitalists.
Side by side with the active Mexi-,
can theological" campaign against
the Colossus of the North" they
are reaching, through the Mexican
labor movement, millions of workers
and peasants with sane and intelli-
gent rehearsals of facts and percen-
tages picturing Mexico's large i'm
portation and economic independence
of the United States, and are urging
the workers assistance and interest
in an increased home production.
The method Of making khis pro-
posed program a success, however, is
limited to effective propaganda di-
rected toward the Mexican people.
The claim of the U. s. State Depart
ment that the Mexican Embassy at
Washington has even conducted prop
aganda in behalf Of the policies Of
his country is considered absurd by
responsible individuals here.

at does pay" says the league for
industrial rights referring to the
education in economics" which open
shop employers are giving their
workers. "The employe is more in
clined to be reasonable in his de-
mands and less subject to pernicious
outside influence"
This is a shrewd appraisal of the
results of the latest developments in
workers education" bought and
paid for, introduced and sponsored,
by non-union concerns. Some of this
home baked, company controlled
education" is devised by the per-
sonnel departments of corporations.
In order to create desire for COM
pany unions, stock ownership, con-
tributory pensions, thrift schemes,
phoney insurance and other welfare
devices, the company must break
through what might be called the
workers "sales resistance" This is
often done through the employe
magazine. But sometimes it takes
more elaborate, subtle and indirect
propaganda.
A whole system of employe edu-
cation in fundamental economies" is
advised. 1t may include evening
classes, bulletin board announce
ments, posters, pay envelope stuff
f~rs, mass meetings where the
workers are we'll in hand and not in
contact with union agitators" whc
might raise a rumpus at such meet
ings.
Besides this the direct mail meth
od is used on the workers. He re-
ceives each week at his home a letter
expressing some "con instructive
thought perhaps a quotation from a
Saturday Evening Post editorial or
an "inspirationar message from the
company president, or perhaps a
speech made at a Chamber Of Com
merce banquet.
Sell Pamphlets.
Special companies have been form
ed TO sell this sort Of education" to
industrial plants. One Of these calls
itself the American Educational AS
soeiation. 1t mails out pamphlets
bearing such titles as "You and T.
and the Other Fellow ard "What Is

President" pointing out how the
