COMMUNITY FUND
R0BS CLEVELAND
WORKING MASSES
CompulsoryDed
From Pay for Charity

CLEVELAND (By Mail) The
Conference Against the Community
Fund and for Social Legislation of
this city arranged six meetings for
this week to protest against the
Cleveland Community Fund-the
highway robbery that the open
shoppers and bankers call "organ-
lied charity" and character build
ing"
The bosses drive began on Mon
day, Nov. 10 and the counter-drive
of the workers has taken place dur
ing the previous week and continued
until this Tuesday. The factory
owners, ~even before their drive
opened officially, began to coerce
the workers. The Swift Packing
Company forced every woman in the
plant to pay five cents week for
81 weeks, and the men ten cents
for the same period. Those losing
their jobs or quitting found the un-
paid balance deducted from their
their final pay. At other factories
the workers were forced to pledge
days pay or SIS, $40, or even more.
The conference organized by the
left wing to combat the organized
robbery has held series of meet
ings in the centers of foreign popu-
lation of Cleveland, at which the
nature of the fund was explained,
and the workers modified against
it and for social insurance in the
form of unemployment insurance,
old age and sick benefits, ETC., to be
furnished by the employers and the
government.

freeing Stewart on each of the three
counts of the indictment.
On the motion of defense counsel
Stewart was Immediately discharged
from custody and his bond was re-
turned.
Stewart was charged with falsify-
ing testimony concerning the now
famous Continental Trading Co. oil
deal in 1921. The Standard Oil mag
nate received one-foutrh share of the
100000 in Liberty bonds distrib-
uted by the Continental Co., as prof
its in an oil graft deal. These profits
were made by purchase of a huge
quantity of oil by the Continental
Co. and selling it to Sinclair and
Standard Oil subsidiaries.
On his first appearance, Stewart
denied knowledge of the oil deal or
that he profited thereby.
Admits Perjury
Stewart appeared before the COM
mittee second time, April "a, and
admitted he received S759,000 of the
bonds which he kept in trusteeship
until 1928 when they were returned
to the company.
Stewart was acquitted last June
by District Of Columbia Supreme
Court on a charge of senate con-
tempt, resulting from his refusal or
the same February appearance to an
swer certain other questions of the
committee.

VESSELS EXPLAINS
AID OF EDUCATION
System in America Best in
World, Principal Says

The encouragement of the creative
instinct in the boys and girls of
today is one Of the most important
achievements OF moder enducation
methods. according to Harry Wes-
sells, principal of the Nathan Hale
Junior High school in an address to
the Pare nts and Teacher associa-
ton of the Levi o. Smith school last
evening.
Mr.. Vessels took as his theme
Modern Education in Democracy
and explained how the education
system in America outclasses any
other system in the world.
Former Councilman Arthur q.
Crusberg, president Of the associa-
ton, opened the meeting by weicom-
ing the new parents and new teach
ers in the Smith school district. For
the benefit of those who did not know
the nature of a Parents and Teach
ers' s -. h explained the
objects of the organization.
Miss Sylvia Penta sang two solos.
A brief address on the care OF the
teeth was given by Miss Margaret
Ryan, dental hygienist. Miss Ryan
told her hearers that there are
some mothers in the city who do
not permit their children to have
defective teeth looked after by a
dentist until they actually begin to
ache. Then. she said. 1t was too
late, and always made a bad matter
worse.
Why DO We Have Schools?
Mr.. Vessel began by asking the
question:: why do we have schools
at all?" He told Of the education
system in force In Imperial Germany
prior to 1914. in which every child
was educated systematically for
some specific place the empire.
He explained how education oppor
tunities there were limited and each
group of children was trained to
hold a specific station in the social
lif of the country.

ment and the administration of its
affairs When the majority party be-
lieves that it has everything its own
way it loses its fear of reprisal at
the polls for mismanagement or mis-
conduct OF government"
Obstruction practiced as purely
political in its significance and aim
was condemned by Smith.
"XXXN Obstruction and block
ade for the sole purpose of embar-
RAISING the. party in power are not
calculated to promote the best in
terests of the country. Constructive.
not destructive criticism is what the
country demands" he said.
The New York governor expressed
his gratitude to the millions who
marked the ballots opposite his
name and he pledged his listeners
his "unceasing interest and concern
with public affairs and the well-be-
ing of the American people,"

The problem Of teaching ehiAren
to read and write and that Of edu-
eating ministers to teach religion.
was one sf The early problems which
the pilgrims faced after landing in
America, he said. Because of the
need Of training men to preach the
gospel, the Pilgrims founded Har-
ward. Tho college Of william and
Nary and Yale were started for the
sane purpose. It was the belief Of
the early colonists that all children
should be taught reading. writing.

From that point" continued the
speaker, the American system of
education has extended to where
boys and girls no longer get just the
fundamentals but they get more
complete formal free education than
IN any other country In the world.
In the United States. instructors
and those responsible for the educa-
ton systems and institutions do not
believe that boys and girls should be
educated for some specific place In
the social life. Rather, they feel
that IL is more important to give the
child a full education. fitting him for
any position which he or she may
eventually occupy"

Vessels. brought change in the
system in Germany and all Europe.
and q more definite change was
brought about In Germany by the
revolution. Now every boy and girl
in Germany up to a certain age is
sure of equal opportunities.
