RENT LAWS ARE
CONTINUED YEAR
Trick Measure Passed
in Compromise
Especial to The Daily Worker.

(Spec91t TO me Dn1Ly WORKER.
ALBANY, March %. - To pacify
until after the Autumn presidential
and state elections the 100000 New
York City voters who are now par
tally protected by the emergency
trent laws, democratic and republican
Legislators united today in passing an
admittedly trick measure extending
the rent laws.
/ For the six months from June
to Dec. 1, the rent laws will remain
as they are at present, under the
terms Of the next extension bill. The
present laws prevent grasping land
lords from raising the rents of
Iaaprtments costing SIS per room per
month and under.
Changes After Election.
But after the elections are over and
# all the politicians are safe, beginning
with Dec ], the rent laws viii apply
only to apartments renting less than
1910 per room per month for the re-
naming six months to June l, 1929.
Tammany chiefs passed the word
around the Legislature today that
Gov. Smith will sign the compromise
bill" which was drawn up as the
result of a conference between re-
publican leaders and himself. Tam
many senators and assemblymen
have been threatening to fight for
extension of the present law regard

and Judge Olvany made with the real

Jobs" they chorused. Acceptance of
the Compromise bill" was forced
under the threat that an extension of
the present Emergency Rent Laws
would be found unconstitutional by
the courts on the ground that Gov.
Smiths state board Of housing had
reported that no housing emergency
exists.
At that hearing, tenants forced
Darwin James, Gov. Smiths hand
picked head of the Housing Board, to
admit that his figures that there
were $4,000 vacant apartments in

lords.

tenants can ask for a six months
stay of eviction if they cannot find
any other apartments. 1t does not,
however, provide that the old rate of
rent will be continued during the six
months period. It states that NUM-

Joint BOARD HEAD
BRANDS RELIEF"
OFFER INSINCERE
Urges Fight to Rebuild
Organization

Over 1000 unemployed furriers,
assembled at mass meeting called by
the left wing Joint Board to consider
The serious unemployment crisis in
me industry, thunderously applauded
The declaration of their manager, Ben
Gold, when he condemned the insincere
offer Of $4,000 as charity made by
the fur bosses to the 5000 jobless
workers. The meeting was held at
Manhattan Lyceum, sc E. 4th st.
Hypocritical.
He branded as hvpocritical the ire
lief project" made by the employers
after they, joining with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor officials had
succeeded IN wrecking unionism in
the industry. He declared that the
workers recognize it as an attempt to
cloak their labor-baiting activities.
He warned the workers, however,
not to condemn those applying for
relief to the Charity Chest" of the
employers. "Instead," Gold said, tell
those whose bitter need forced them
to apply for charity, that they should
not forget that the money they got
was wrung from their blood a
rhousandfold, and that no sense Of
gratitude should keep them from
fighting the bosses bitterly to rebuild
our union into the powerful instru-
ment for the improvement of our
conditions it once was"
Denounce A. F. L.
Other speakers at the meeting
voiced the same condemnation of the
A. F. of L. heads and the socialist
cfficialdom whose establishment of a
dual union in the trade resulted in the
smashing of the workers organiza-
ton. 1t was pointed out that while
thousands of workers were walking
the streets, many shops were working
as much as 70 and 80 hours week at
a miserable wage. That more than
twice the amount of those working
would be employed now if there was
a strong union to enforce the 40 hour
week, was one OF the reasons cited
by the speakers for rallying around
the Joint Board.
Isadore Shapiro, former chairman
Of the Joint Board, was chairman of
the meeting, which was held at 2
o'clock in Manhattan Lyceu]n, sc E.

CARNES BACKED Z
 GIRLS IS REPORT
Assert Missing TrsBuref SpoH
 sorod Their MoIie Clreels

Atlanta, Ga. Sept. II R-Evi- dence that Clinton s. Carnes, missing treasurer of the Southern Baptist Homes Mission board. sponsored the moving picture careers of two girls while a ei.0O0, 900 shortage accumu- lated in his accounts was ready for submission today to a grand jury investigating Carnes' affairs.
 Thomas B. Scott. receiver for Carnes' properties. announced yes- terday that not only had Carnes kept an accurate record of his pa- tronase. but that there was found in his private papers a contract be- tween him and the young women. This agreement, Scott said, provided that Carnes was to receive part of the earnings of Miss Sonia Nordlie and Miss Lois Griffin. The contract was made through Mrs. Louise Pope, formerly of Atlanta.
 Going to School
 The receiver said he was told the girls were with Mrs. Pope in Holly wood, attending a school for motion picture actresses. In response to appeals from Mrs. Pope for funds. Scott said he had wired her that Carnes had di, appeared and that no money would be forthcoming.
 Scott's inspection showed that Carnes had invested nearly $1e,O00 in the talent of the two girls over a period of 22 months, Miss Nordlie having received $S,721.61, Miss Grif- fin $5.138.61 and Mrs. Pope $3,044. In return for the advance sums the girls later were to give him part of their earnings.

school experience is purposeiy made to contribute to the development ol character and to social and moral growth. Fundamental to the devel- opment Of sound character is the need Of the child for training in m intelligent religious life. He needs to feel-the presence Of God in the world. to give expression to this feeling in natural ways of worship. This is matter of early training. Although the responsibility for re- ligious training belongs primarily to the home. the school is seriously concerned about it. for 1t is the ,, child whose parents provide such training who responds most success fully to school training and benefits most of it. To this end, opportunity is given to all children in grades three to eight. inclusive. to receive special religious instruction for one hour each week during regular school time. It is hoped that during this year this opportunity for week. day religious instruction may be taken by all children of grades three to eight.
 Education Is Asset
 "A good education is an asset under all circumstances. The school opportunities provided in public schools of New Britain are such as to make it possible for any boy or girl of normal capacity to get fair start in life.
 "The Elementary schools, for children of six to twelve years of age, furnish training tn reading. writing, spelling, arithmetic, for cor rect use of written and oral English. geography, history and elementary sicence, as well as music, art and drawing.
 Special classes are provided for children of the elementary grades who are handicapped by defective vision or by physical or mental weakness. Individual help and att tention are given to each child in these classes.
 ''The Junior High schools. for boys and girls of twelve to fifteen years of age. offer such studies and such experiences as are appropriate ] to the adolescent years. They pro- vide for a broader treatment and conception of the use and meaning

SCHOOL BULLETIN
 SENT TO PARENTS
Department Stresses Desire to
 Promote Children's Welfare

The New Britain school bulletin which is issued by the school de- partment to give facts and lnforma- tion to the public has been issued for the first time this year.
 The bulletin. in full, is as fol- lows. .-
 "Education should be the fore most concern of the people of every community. The opening of a new school year is an occasion of no slight importance. For parents who are planning to send their boys and girls to school in the hope that the school will do much to help their children to more fully realize their best and highest possibilities, to make them better citizens and to broaden their view of the world and of life, it has special signifi- canoe and importance.
 All teachers and school officials have a deep interest in your plans and We therefore ask that you dis close to Us your plans for the fu- ture of your children. and that you permit us to share with you in their realization.
 'We hope that after the long va cation all children will come to school this fall with increased en- ergy and greater resistive power to combat the confinement of the in- door life of school Be assured that constant attention to the preserva- tion of good health will be given in all schools, from kindergarten through Senior High school. Your cordial interest and cooperation are requested in the health work which is being carried on in all schools. This health work is of fundamental importance, for 1t aims to develop sound health, to give a knowledge of personal and community hygiene and to fix habits of healthy living. The child who comes to school in sound physical health and keeps well throughout the school year is likely to make a success of school work and to do it without undue nervous strain.
 Must Begin With Child
 Parents and teachers of today know that we must begin with the child if we are to help him to be- come a man he ought to be. The development of sound character and correct social and moral attitudes are recognized by the schools as of great value and importance than the development of mental capacity.

 Int 1tfritorJ

Washington. D. C.. September II. -"Winnipeg Canada, which will be the beneficiary of 2 bumper wheat crop this year. is q magic city or Manitoba which has had rapid rise similar to many of our western cities" sayx a bulletin from the Washington, n. C.. headquarters of the National Geographic society.
 Winnipeg is the distributing point for immigrants to the great plains, and is the largest wheat market in the British empire. Her population, falling little short of 100000 is an outcome of sixty years growth.
 Resembles U. S. Cities
 .sThe thriving capital of Manitoba Province is known as the most American city across the Canadian line. It has prospered because of a naturally advantageous situation as . meeting ground between the wheat and cattle country of the west and the older settled provinces of the east. The city lies some sixty miles from the boundary where the long reaches of the Assiniborne join the waters of the Red river.
 "Winnipeg's history began as Fort Gary back in the fur trading days of the Hudson's Bay company when the fort was one of the last outposts of civilization toward the prairie& A fiercely independent population of half breeds or Metis erew up around the trading station. With the present Winnipeg as a center and Louis Riel as leader they staged the famous Red river the Dominion government. In 1slo this uprising was crushed by Colo mel Wolseley and his famous regl- ment, A way was thus paved for civilization and the Canadian Pa cific Railroad. The latter's yards at Winnipeg are now said to be among the largest in the world.
 Immigrants from almost every known country pour daily into the xreat train shed of this transconti- mental railway. They spend some time in Winnipeg as sort of head quarters and then spread out over the plains. Ten journals in the Ice landic tongue alone are published in and about Winnipeg. There are Mennonite and Doukhobor settle ments in Manitoba with all the Quaintness of ancient Russia. De- mands for settlers on the frontier and for laborers on the great wheat ranches of the older valleys seem
