By WILLIAM W. wEINsTONE.

The tenth anniversary celebration
in Paterson was a landmark in the
organization of meetings in Paterson
and a model for celebrations and
mass meetings in other cities.
The meeting was arranged plan
fully. Everything was set according
to time schedule which was followed
with the utmost precision. Scheduled
to begin at $50 p. m, when the time
approached the chorus failed to ap-
pear and the committee arranged to
open the meeting on time by bringing
the Pioneers forward to sing the In
ternational.
No Delay.
The chairman then made introduc-
tory remarks. AS he began the main
speakers were afraid that here would
be the usual chairman's Introductory
speech. But 10 and behold, when the
five minutes for the chairman's re-
marks were up the chairman put on
the brakes and introduced the first
speaker
This was followed by the chorus
and then followed the collection
speech of the chairman. The speech
was short and to the point. The APP
peal was made in behalf of The
DAILY WORKER and brought $73
from meeting of about 500.
Excellent Appeal.
In a city hit by unemployment this
was an excellent result. 1t was due
to the character of the appeal which
described struggles going on among
the workers at the present time and
showed that The DAILY WORKER
was the only organ fighting in behalf
of Colorado and Pittsburgh miners,
against war, against injunctions and
against police violence.
After another musical number the
main speaker, William z. Foster, was
introduced according to schedule at
10 o'clock and the meeting ended with

Coal Terrorism
Hats to Make It
Easy On Officials

HARWICK, Pa, Nov. 90 - The
American Federation of Labor Off
Gals taking jaunt through the coal
fields where the coal and iron police
and the state troopers have been par
ticularly vicious find they are not
embarrassed by the sight of any club
bling, riding down or tear gas. Neither
is the local injunction against assem-
bling or touching company property
enforced against them.
Ample notice to the thugs of the
arrival of distinguished visitors had
been given by someone.
Two different groups of officials,
including Frank Morrison, secretary
of the A. F. of L.; William Mahon,
president Of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street and Electric Rail
way Employees; David Flower, Inter
national union representative of the
miners; Leonard Craig, director of
workers education for the Pennsyl-
vania Federation of Labor and Rim
aldo Cappellini, president of the
Scranton Wilkes-Barre mine field.
John Brophy, progressive leader,
went with the party of officials.
Arrested for Helping Woman.
Only one deputy made a fuss, and
then in a whisper. This chap had
edged within earshot as David Nc
Kee, miners board member from
Montana, who is stationed in Harwick
in charge of the local strike, was
telling Morrison story illustrating
the behavior of the thugs when no
distinguished visitors were present.
A miner was arrested, said Mckee,
and fined $14 for helping his neigh
boris wife. Company law says that
the miner who sets foot in another
company house is trespassing on com
pany property. This miner saw the
woman struggling with a sack of po-
tatoes. He swung the burden on his
shoulder, deposited it in her house,
and was arrested as he set foot out

All Was Pre-arranged.
Important details that were taken
care of should be noted:
1. Everything was pre-arranged.
2. A floor committee with arm
bands was on the job an hour and a
half before the meeting opened.
8. Instead of the usual three or
four comrades a big group Of COM
rades was assigned to the sale OF
literature, organization on the plat
form and organization in the hall.
4. The stand on the platform was
not only of the proper kind but also
bore a sign telling what the workers

8. A neatly arranged platform for
literature stood in the rear of the
hall in charge of an enthusiastic COM
rade and desk advertising the school

rade with registration blanks.
6. An assistant to the platform
chairman cooperated directly with the
floor committees.
An appeal for the International
Labor Defense brought in over 20 ap-
plications and an appeal for the Party
brought in several new comrades.
Good Publicity.
In advertising the meeting the com
rades not only circulated posters and
leaflets but broke into the capitalist
papers. One reason for this was that
the publicity was written with 4 view
to publication in capitalist papers

ment announces. The 113 others left
242 relatives without support Most
of the workers killed were between
rs and As years old. State Industrial
Commissioner James A. Hamilton
says practically all of these fatal ac-
cidents could have been prevented.
Forty-three deaths occurred from
vehicles; 40 from falls; from cleo
trio shocks and from explosions.
OF the Al fatal accidents in manufac-
turing industries, only one was
caused by a machine. This indicates,
says the commissioner, the efficacy

SYSTEM OF SOVIET UNION PRAISED
BY new YORK STUDENT AFTER SCHOLARSHIP TOUR

The most remarkable phase of the
work of the Soviet Union is its edu-
cational system, is the opinion of
Jacha Afros, of the school of educa-
ton of New York University, who
has just returned from a tour of the
Soviet Union as the holder of Lib
eral Club scholarship.
Here is a whole people suddenly
torn loose from its traditions, setting
up school system along the most
advantageous educational theories"
he said in a report submitted to the
Liberal Club. Whereas in America
we have isolated educational expert
ments, here is an educational expert
ment on a national scale What a
wonderful opportunity it offers to ed
ucators to study an dobserve their
successes and failures! The Russians
refer to their school system as work
ing on the Sovietized Dalton plans.
Dewey and Fitzpatrick are also widely
known and admired.
Political Education.
"The average elementary school
boy in Russia knows more about
America than the average American
college student knows about Russia, F."
he states in another portion of his
report. "This is because political ed
location is a most important part in
the training even of children of kim
dergarten age. l was visiting a
school in Saratov, for example. A

Muddled thinking and misrepresen-

Edmund A. Walsh, director general
of the Papal Relief Mission to Russia,
said in a symposium on Russia at the
Last luncheon of the Foreign Policy
Association here.
The subject was Soviet Russia to-
day and it's relations with other couTl-
tries. The other speakers were
Stuart Chase, director of the Labor

all mankind. 1t was designed to
create the collective man, the mass
man. who shall displace forever the
soul-encumbered individual man.
"That is why there is need of clear
thinking on the subject of Russia.
Because Of the lack Of clear think
ing, because of the distorted presen-

problems that arose out of the ire

much loose talking, much misrepre-

by friends and opponents of the pres

Mr.. Chase, who went on to outline

Sharp Criticism Of
JOI1nSOn'S Attitude
Upon Foreign Born

That immigrants have higher rates
of criminal commitments because they
live in cities, rather than because they
are immigrants, is the substance of a
letter addressed by Congressman Gel
Ter of New York to Richard Wash
burn Child, Acting Chairman of the
Conference on Prevention of Crime,
and made public yesterday.
"When the two groups are com.
pared for identical urban districts"
one part of the letter reads, "the
foreign-born generally have lower
rates than the native-born, for felon-
les as well as misdemeanors. Adult
native-born whites in Chicago in 1920
had 1.09 times as many arrests for
felonies and % times as many ar
rests for, misdemeanors as the adult
foreign-bor whites"
Johnson Unfair.
AT least half of the lengthy COM
munication is devoted to a scathing
criticism of Representative Albert
Johnson, Chairman of the House
Committee on immigration and Ma
turalization of whom the Congress
man says among other things: 81

has been less sympathetic to the
aliens than the writer of the letter

No one has laid heavier restrictions
upon the non-native than he. His
suggestions therefore, must be taken
with many grains of salt and in the
light of his prejudice"

Council for Protection of Foreign
born Workers with headquarters at
Al Union Square, N. Y. c., announces
the launching of nationwide cam

gresham Albert Johnson is perhaps

William Green For

William Green, president Of the

to 8 hours was not followed by in
creased cost Of manufactured articles.
The six day work week is already be-
ing reduced Systematically to the five
and a half day week, he said.
Based On Humane Reasons.
eve base our demands for the five
day week upon economic, humane
and social reasons" said Green. 1--WE
are confident that public opinion will
support labor in it's plan and policy
of bringing to the workers the enjoy
ment OF greater amount of recrea-
ton and leisure through the establish
ment OF the five day work week.
Prom an economic standpoint ma
chinery and power are doing much to
hasten the acceptance of the five day
work week. With the aid of machin-
cry and power the worker has in
creased his productivity until he is
now producing more in a shorter
number of working hours and work
ing days.
