PLANNING WEEKS FOOD

The meals selected for the week be-
fore Christmas, a time when most
housewives have many plans in. their
minds, have been kept rather simple
in character. Roast loin of pork Sc.
lectad for Sunday dinner is also used
reheated on Monday night
In selecting pork remember that
the young small pork is better in
flavor than the larger animal. Roast
loin should be very slowly cooked, al
lowing about one-half hour to pound.
Pork cooked in this manner has al
ways q delicate texture and is very
good in flavor. Apples may be baked
around the meat or separately. Ice
berg or Simpson lettuce is plentiful
this time of year and is crisp enough
to serve cut in slices with a French
dressing that has very faint garlic
flavor. Do not be afraid by the way.

The UNION OR NOTHING
Of the Passaic Strikers After One Year Of Struggle

Forstmann Hoffmann's mp an
union and to compel Mr.. Forstmann
and Mr.. Reinholdt to recognize the
U. T. W."
Ellen Dawson, financial secretary
of Local 1903, U. T. W., of Passaic,
presented a motion that the Forsr-
mann-Huffmann letter be accepted
as basis for further negotiations
and that Mr. Mcmahon be instructed
to carry on further negotiations with
the Forstmam & HUFFMAN Co. for
the recognition of the union. When
the motion was put, it was carried
unanimously by the 1900 strikers,
and the proposition to go back to
Observation-Disclosures on the basis
of the letter didn't receive one vote.
This is the spirit of Passaic after
twelve months of struggle. These
strikers look to the labor movement
for continued support. If this is
forthcoming, they will break the re-
sistence OF Observation-Disclosures and
compel them, together with the Gera
mill, New Jersey Spinning and Uni
ted Piece Dye Works Co., to yield
upon the same terms as the botany,
tassaic Worsted, Dundee and Gar
field mills have done.
Local unions should answer the APP
peal OF fassaic and make a substan-
ual contribution to the relief 1unas
as a Birthday present for the heroic
textile workers. In making this con-
trlDution, organized labor must real
lie that the textile workers in Pas-
Sale are fighting the hight OF the
whole labor movement against the
common enemy ana against company
unionism and the open shoppers who
are attempting To destroy every
trade union in America.
For one year the Passaic strikers
have held the fort against the on
siaughts of the enemies OF organized
labor. They have broken the back
bone of the resistance of the mill
owners. They have already compelled
the old industrial autocrat, Mr.. Ju-
Illus Forstmann, to receive their
power. Victory is within their grasp
and January 25, 1927, finds the
heroic textile workers of Passaic as
incorporating in the struggle and
as determined to win as they were
on January rs, 1926, one year ago
today.

By NORMAN SILBER.

This country is free and offers
equal opportunity to all. The boast of
free Americans is the universal pub
lie school system. The country has
attained it's wonderful ideals because
Of its public schools which offer an
opportunity of education to all, and
reach the most remote rural commun-
ities-to a certain extent.
My faithful service to my master
led me through ore Of these remote
rural communities and afforded me
the privilege of observing the opera
ton of one of these wonderful public
schools, supported by tax money ex-
torted from poor farmers. This
school is by no means unique, and
there are many more around it in the

French Ambassador
To Moscow Publicly
Pays Tribute to Krassin

MOSCOW-The following letter of
u. j. Herbette, French Ambassador
in the USSR has appeared in Soviet
newspapers:
"The death of Mr.. Krassin has
caused feelings of deep sorrow
amongst those who knew him more
closely. When l was informed of his
death it seemed to me that l have
lost a personal friend, although
knew him only since his arrival to
Paris in capacity of the first Soviet
Ambassador in France. But from my
first conversation with Krassin I saw
his constructive mind, passion for
work and sincerity which made him
so attractive to everybody. After
that we met very often and each
time our friendly relations grew
stronger and stronger. Before his
last departure from Moscow, in spite
of serious illness, he still spoke with
me as man who thought only of
his country and work. He was think
ing then of his task in England and
wanted to undertake it as soon as
possible. Then he got i'll and his re-
cuperation was not long one.
"In the history of the revolution
Mr.. Krassin will occupy the place of
an author and organizer of the mon
opoly of foreign trade. Each time
when we spoke about the monopoly
of foreign trade, it could be seen that
he considers it as his personal work,
which he undertook with the approval
of Lenin and continued with unflinch-
ing persistence, How could we re-
tain results of our monetary reform,
said he, if we would not have mon
opoly of foreign trade
"Mr. Krassin knew that he has
done his work and fulfilled his duty,
being on his post when happened
those events which have radically
changed the outlook of his country.
That did not make him proud. On
the contrary, he remained very SIM
pie in his manners, and sometimes
his face wore charming, tender
smile. His conscience was untroubled
as the conscience of workman who
has honestly finished his day of la
Dor. This feeling Of satisfaction,
when ones duty has been fulfilled, is
the best and most important thing
that can be desired, because labor is
the beginning Of every joy and
measure of every dignity"

binary Ambassador and Plenioten-
tiary Minister Of France, to the Gov
ernmen tof the USSR.

G ENATOR BORAH is afraid that
~ unless halt is called to the grow
ing tendency towards centralized and
bureaucratic government, we will soon
have "a republic in name, but a bu-
roaucracy in fact"
Senator Borah does not have to wor-

ploye out Of every eleven persons
gainfully employed in the United

openly at the service of

this is the putting of our navy at the
service of the bankers-Brown Bros,

our state department at the service

Around Fire.
One bitter cold and windy day.
passed this shack again and noticed a
flock of Negro children huddled around
an open fire in the front yard, en-
deavoring with difficulty to keep the
fire burning. Immediately realizing
that this was public school session,
my interest was aroused and l stop
ped to investigate.
The school had an enrolment of 80
pupils and pretended to teach from
the first grade to the ninth (the sec
ond year of high schooD. One ter
ribly starved looking elderly man,
blind on one eye and dressed in shah
by army clothing constituted the
teaching staff. By way of equipment
the whole school possessed two second
grade readers, a wooden blackboard
(no chalk) and blackboard eraser.
There was not single pencil, no
paper and no other equipment in the
whole school-not even bible. The
pathetic part lies in the fact that
there is a compulsory attendance law
in South Carolina which requires ev-
cry child under IA years of age in
that district to attend that school.
Paid Officials.
Yet this same county employed a
superintendent of education and an
assistant superintendent of education.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-01-26

The chief duty of the latter official
was to visit each school in the county

report of the visit.
Ten to One.
Each school district in the South
must have two schools-one for whites
and one for Negroes. The money for
support of the schools is spent on a
ten to one ratio. For every dollar
spent on white child in public school
they should spend ten cents on a
Negro child. More often they spend
even less on the Negroes. Of course
the Negro bears his full burden of
the taxes. Indirectly he pays "the
Lord knows how much" but directly
he pays more than his share.
Senator in Bad.
A state senator of South Carolina
wanted to make himself popular by
introducing a bill in the state legis-
lature which would separate white
school tax money and use it on white
schools, and operate the colored
schools on the school taxes collected
from Negroes. The proposed bill
killed the political career of the SEN
ator. 1t was calculated that some
white schools would not have suffi-
cient funds to operate three days a
year under such an arrangement.
Opportunities for free education are
wonderfully equally distributed in the
South.
