BOYS CLUB READY
FOR ACTIVE Year
Rotary and KiWaniS Clubs to
Assist in Program

| Increased activity in all depart
ments Of the Boys club is planned
for the coming season. which will
begin on Tuesday, September 6, and
cooperation from the Rotary and
kiwanis clubs has been promised in
/ making the club of as much value
to the members as is possible. The
Rotarians will furnish personal
service members giving talks to
: the boys and each explaining what
chance of service and advancement
there is in his particular business or
: profession. 1t is hoped that in this
way boys who might be satisfied to
enter a factory and hold the same
! Job for years may be led to take up
definite trades which. while perhaps
not yielding SO bountifully at the
start. will pay bigger returns and be
more pleasant after the first few
years.
! The kiwanis club will finance AMI
back an orchestra and will engage
an instructor to bring the organiza-
ton up to the point already attain
, ed by the Boys club fife and drum
corps. This corps, which will con-
tinue for another year under the ST.
pervision Of Peter McCrann, has al
ready been entered in two fairs to
take place this fall. 1t will appear at
Charter Oak fair in Hartford on
September 10 and will compete in
the junior music festival at the East
ern States exposition in Springfield,
Mass, during the week of Septem-
Der IS to "a.
Superintendent Dwight Skinner
will enter upon his fifth year as di-
recting spirit of the club and will
be assisted by the same personnel as
he had last year. Raymond Ander-
son will again function as physical
director and assistant superinten-
dent Merton Clark will be game
room supervisor and Theodore Stalk
will act as assistant to the superin-
tendent.
Charles Fox has been secured to
conduct a woodworking class for
club members. Harold Sandquist,
who was in charge of the printing
classes and printed the Boys Club
News" last year. has gone away to
school, and his brother, George
Sandquist, will take his place as
overload OF the print shop. George
had considerable experience with
his brother last year and will con-
duct the class along the same lines
as his predecessor. Leonard Ander-
son will return as instructor of the
radio class. Several other classes are
being planned, one of them being a
group in cooking Many of the boys
have to prepare their own meals at
times, and it is believed that the
club, through the cooperation of the
Junior Achievement foundation, can
help them to enjoy meals consisting
of something better than cold food
left for them.
Another bowling alley has been
set UP in the game room to replace
the remaining shuttle board. An
other baseball board will be pur-
chased, and the baseball leagues or
ganized this winter can them be
run off more speedily.
A change will be made in the
handling of library books. Hereto
fore the boys have been allowed to
take the books home to read them
at their leisure. but this has been the
cause of considerable confusion in
keeping the records straight. and a
few books have been lost. This win

flood Of non-union coal which made
ineffective the sufferings and strug-
giles of the union members.
Instead of consolidating the inner
union strength, Lewis carried on war
within the union against its most
militant sections (Howat in Kansas,
Mclaughlin in Nova Scotia, etc.,
and smashed several district organi-
cations, twice he stole the national
elections when they went against
him; he expelled large numbers of ac-
tive militant miners from the union;
and established legal discrimination
against foreign-born miners who
make up majority of the workers
in the industry. Toward the employ
ers, Lewis policy was one of collab-
Grafton, accepting their program of
eliminating 100000 miners from the
,pdustry, refusing to enter into the
non-union fields for the organization
of the unorganized, keeping the an
thracite and bituminous miners sep
arated so that common action was
made impossible, and finally aban-
doning the Central Competitive Field
agreement and accepting separate
agreements for some sections while
others are still fighting for their
lives.
"In the seventh month of the ma
tional struggle, there began the strike
of the Colorado miners, unorganized
for 10 years. Repeatedly betrayed
and completely neglected blythe Lewis
machine, they struck under the
leadership of the l. w. W., which pro-
vided them with machinery for the
struggle. The Colorado strike is a
complete and crushing answer to
Lewis and his henchmen, who blame

Resolution on Miners Strikes
"The strike of the bituminous min
srs has entered upon its ninth month,
With $4,000 miners in Pennsylvania
and Ohio, still heroically struggling
for the preservation of their union.
With more than two-thirds of all coal
being mined in non-unicn fields, with,
according to Secretary Davis and
coal operators, 100000 miners unable
to find employment when the indus
try is meeting the full demands Of
the market, with the Central Compe-
titive District agreement being liqui-
dated through separate district
agreements, with the ruinous policy
of John l.. Lewis dominating the
union with denial of inner-union
democracy to the members, while col
laborating with the employers-with
all these conditions against them in
addition to the widespread oppression
by the government, through injunc-
tions, militia, state cossacks, private
armies, etc. the miners union is in
danger Of destruction.
Responsibility for the deep-going
crisis in the union must primarily be
placed on the misleadership of Lewis
and his machine. In refusing to or
ganize the miners in the unorganized
fields, Lewis predetermined his policy
of surrender to the local operators.
By leaving great masses of workers
unorganized in West Virginia, Penn
sylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ala
bama, Colorado, etc, in spite of their
manifest HilIingness to organize,
Lewis undermined the strength of the

The plot revolves about two women
who after sending their husbands Off

Frenchman whom both had love af-
fairs with in the past. One episode

AS the two women wait, they talk Of
the glorious times Of the past. At
the same time they drink to excess.
Impatiently they peek out of the win
dow; answer the telephone eagerly

the second act of a three act play

This does not mean that it is an

Resolution on Labor Defense.

Every struggle of the workers for
better conditions of life and work in
the United States and elsewhere has
brought victims Of class justice. This
prison, the gallows and the electric
chair are weapons used by the eX-
ploiters' government against the /,
Dor movement. In st-ikes, the CAPT
talists are often able to put the best
fighters behind prison bars.
During the past year Sacco 'and
Vanzetti have persisted in the electric
chair as victims to the vengeance Of
the master class. Now Greco and
Garlic are threatened with the same
fate. ssh
For defending the rights of the
working man and his class, dozens of
workers are today in prison in this
country. Mooney and Billings, the
Centralia prisoners and many other
members of the |. w. W., are still
held. Eight of the leading fighters of
the Passaic strike are serving peni-
tertiary sentences along with num-
Der of New York garment workers.
Cases are pending against the Chea-
wick miners and other militants. The
cases of the Michigan Communists,
