Hoover Strategy Based
On State Committees

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Her-
bert Hoover as candidate for the
republican nomination for the presi-
dency will not be called upon to make
speeches or otherwise take personal
part in any state, and no national
Hoover headquarters will be estab-
lished previous to the Kansas City
convention.
This is the strategy of the Hoover
management, it having been decided
to leave the contests in each state in
the hands Of those who have volun-
teered to work for his nomination,
the general idea being that if he re-
ceives the nomination there will be
no pre-convention sores to interfere
with his progress to the White House.

Party Leaders Sent to

From Rome comes a report that
Mussolini had ordered the lately con-
yicted Communists to be transferred
to the prison of Volterre (Toscana).
This prison is known as the worst
of all Italian prisons. The prison has
awful dirty and mouldy single cells
under ground in which even the
healthiest of men could not last very
long. D'Annunzio, once many years
ago, described this prison in gripping
words. He called the prison of Vol
terra the spot of shame Of modern
Italy and demanded it's immediate
close-down.
To this prison Mussolini has sent
the convicted Communist function
aries and members in order to get rid
of them the sooner.

BOYS IN U, S. FAIL

Some Are Lucky but
Many Hunt in Vain
(By a Worker Correspondent

(By a Worker Correspondent
The work of our public school
teachers for the season is ended.
They are packing up for their sum
mer trips-out into the wide and
balny spaces-for the much needed
rest.
From amongst the millions of chill
dren they have been teaching hun
dreds of thousands have graduated.
And for once the worried and hard
working father and mother let their
faces light up with broad smile, and
press their kisses on Johnny's cheek.
Good for my boy" This is their
holiday.
But Just as every other holiday has
it's termination so has graduation day:
Our young friend all of sudden
stands face to face with new world.
His way through life has just begun.
He will have to answer newspaper
ads for jobs, wait for the boss an
hour. See our boy being hired, him
and the rest turned away. He will be
reprimanded by his parents for fail
ing to obtain a position, for being a
load around their neck. His life will
not be what he expected it would be
shortly before his graduation.
For did not his teacher and princi-
pal in their lectures expound the op-
portunities young American boy has
in our great prosperous. and glorious
country, providing he is industrious
and honest? He must be thankful to
destiny for having been born in this
land.
Well, let us be fair and admit that
every boy in our land is not out of
Job; let us admit that the majority are
employed. But what about the hum
dreds of thousands of youth who are
compelled to leave their parents
home to shift for themselves, a great
many who go to the bad. Does our
government care very much if they
become criminal tramps, ETC.?
1t is always ready to send them to
prison, state farms, the crazy house,
hospital. Does it see to it that they
get a job, vocational training to fit
them for life. 1t is the business of a
real government, workers govern
ment to take care of it's unemployed;
and how much more of it's youth
full unemployed, who are not yet
strong enough to resist temptations
| which lead them to rllin 2
But we cannot expect a change in
this problem-as long as our bosses
hold the power. When all real men
and women will realize, that the
emancipation of the worker is the
mission of the workers themselves,
then we can look forward for a
brighter day.

DRIVE MONESSEN
TIN MILL SERFS
TILL They Die
Sick. Men Are Fired for
Going Home

MONESSEN, Pa. (By MaiD.-
Herewith 1 will enclose some of the
details of the death of one steel
worker in the mill in which l work.
William Hanan, tin mill worker,
died at his home on 431 Reed Ave,
Monessen. Pa, recently. He was a
roller in the American Steel and Tin
Mill and was in the best of health be-
fore his death. Mr.. Hanan went to
work Tuesday night and was played
out or all in when he got home. He
got cramp in the stomach and lay
sick for about 10 hours before he
passed away. He is survived by a
wife and one child.
1t sure is terrible here in the mills,
because when a man plays out and
can't work any more if he asks the
boss for a helper or says that he is
going home the boss will tell him, IF
you go home you can stay there"
That is one reason why the steel work
ers here play themselves out or get
sick so they have to lay off for days,
sometimes weeks.
We have also the speed-up system
here, which makes it so much harder.
The rollers job is about the best paid
job in the tin mill and a man has to
work quite number of years before
he gets job as roller.
