amount of wages that the children
get, which, according to these fun
keys of the master class, is an in
ducement for the children to leave
school. For the first year of APP
premiership the children are being
paid as low as IA cents an hour,
while the value and quantity of their
production is incomparably higher
than the products of apprentices of
former days, never in history has
there been such a demand for child's
labor as at present.
This is particularly so in seasonal
trades such as the tobacco crops.
etc, where tens of thousands of
children are actually driven like
slaves for II and ID hours a day for
a miserable pittance of ID to 16
cents an hour.
The agents of the employing class
are compelled to admit that child
labor in the Nutmeg State is becom-
ing the rule rather than the excep-
ton, but this is not because of the
Involvement" afforded by the ex-
ploiters of labor, as the spokesman
of the capitalist class wants us to
believe, but because the wages paid
to the heads of the family and adult
workers are not sufficient to main
tain the family in decent condi-
tons.

CONNECTICUT CHILD
LABOR ON INCREASE

(By a Worker Correspondent
NEW HAVEN, Conn, (By Mail)
The local Rabbits are beginning
to be somewhat disturbed about the
fact that child labor is on the in.
crease in the city of New Haven
Conn, according to the city schoo
census issued the other day.
The census established that 2,59(
out of the total of $4,000 children
of school age are not attending
school because they are compelled
to go to work in local shops, fac.
tories and stores.
Besides the number which the cen.
sus definitely accounts for as hav.
ing left school to seek employment
there are nearly 500 more that have
also not registered in the schools
this term, apparently having left
ing left school to seek employment,
elsewhere. All of these children
numbering over 5000, are between
the ages of 7 and IA.
The total expenditure for each
child annually is put at 1925 which
is given by the state to the city in
the form of bounty to the schools
simultaneously with the city re-
port on the delinquency of the work
ing class children came the report
of the state on high school atten-
dance, which says that only 16 pei
cent of the children in New Haven
go thru the high school grade OF
at least enroll for the first term but
very few even of this number real
ly complete the entire term.
The reason for this, the report
fastened to explain, is not because
of personal disinclination but be
cause of the steady decrease Of the
income of the working class fam
lilies. In the last four years the
standard of living of the workers
has declined to 40 per cent while
the cost of the necessities of life
has decreased only z per cent.
This is held as being mainly re,
sponsible for the general decline il
school attendance by the working
class children, as well as for the
failing to go thru high school. Al
the same time there is an increased
tendency, the report states, on the
part of the "well-to-do" wealthy
class to take their children out Of
the public schools and place then
with private individual teachers. In
1924 there were only 5000 children
taught privately; in 1927 there were
1000 and in 1928 this number in.
creased to over 5000 for the city
of New Haven.
About this whole question, the re.
port sums up as follows: The recent
general decline in school attendance
is not so much due to personal dis.
inclination vas to lack Of means.
The report also remarks about the

SOUTHERN white
MURDERS NEGRO
Self Defense Theory
Ruined by Witness

COLUMBUS, S. C. (By MaiD.-
E. H. Addick, VINO murdered Paul
Harmon, young Negro here. in a
white cafe on Thursday night, is
beng he'd by a coroner's jury, be-
cause of contradictory testimony of
the white witnesses.
The murder occurred at about
eleven o'clock, when, according to
scme Of the white witnesses, Har-
mon entered the cafe in en- intoxi-
Gated condition and threatened to
kill all the whites present. They
further testified that he attempted
to purchase a package of cigarets
on credit and when he was refused
cursed the entire group This was
proven false by the testimony of
ether witnesses.
]. NJ. Parker, clerk in the cafe,
testified that Addick, the murderer,
left the cafe few minutes later and
was accosted by Harmon, who
struck him (Addick) in the face.
Add.ck then pulled out revolver
and shot him three times, killing
him almost instantly.
Addick's defense testimony tailed
exactly with that of Parker, but
Dave Vanderhost, another white
man, declared that he was taking
Harmon home, when Harmon de-
cided that he wanted to go the
other way" Vanderhost agreed
with the testimony that Harmon
met Add.ck face to face, but en-
phatically denied that Harmon was
intoxicated.
A search of Harmon's body re-
vealed the fact that lie was I'M
armed, that he was not intoxicated
and that he was killed as the result
of three bullets in his chest, which
were fired at close range. Other
white witnesses agreed with the tes-
timony of Vanderhost, stated that
Harmon did nothing to start the
shooting and declared that the
shooting was uncalled for.
Harmon was employed as fire
man on the Southern Railroad and
Addick is an engineer on the same
road.

BOILING COMP ANY

Stool Pigeon System Is
Employed
by a Worker Correspondent


SEATTLE, Wash. (By MaiD.-
Just line to assure you that the
workers in the Northwest are en-
joying Coolidge prosperity" with
the aid of Kellogg.
Peace and prosperity at any price.
The 700 odd workers in the Boiling
Airplane Factory, Seattle, are pay
ing the price.
I went to work there just out of
curiosity, and it has been satisfied,
for when you read this I'll be off
the payroll.
I went in as a timer or sheet
metal worker.
Something which I consider far
worse than any speed-up system
known has been introduced and
was not long in learning about it.
They have very skillfully and sys-
tematically introduced the 12-hour
day. They call it overtime, system
attic overtime, for periods as great
as nine and ten months at a stretch.
They fool the workers to a nicely.
Monday, Tuesday, II hours; We'd
nesday, s hours; Thursday and Fri
day, IL, and Saturday, 51a. If this
isn't introducing the 12-hour day, I
would like to know what it is. Com
mon labor received As cents per
hour and mechanics (tinners) 70
to IS cents per hour. The greatest
majority received 70 cents. Union
sheet metal workers receive $1.25
per hour, the 8-hour day and 40
hour week. Quite a contrast.
Three-quarters of an hour is al
lowed for supper and there is a
large garbage can, called a cafe
terra, where the slaves pay eXor-
bitant prices for soup. Slop it is.
doubt if a pig would eat much of
it.
/ talked to the men around me
and found many who didn't like the
hours, but they were only there for
a temporary job and didn't either
care to say much or else were afraid.
Those who were home guards agreed
that it was kind of firing if it was
for long stretch, but were salts
fled.
My second day proved to me that
the stool pigeon was on the job, be-
cause was told to shut up. I was
told later on by one Of the slaves
thus: eff you want to stay on down
here be careful whom you talk to,
as there are many stool pigeons.
Now, readers, whatsI want you to
do is this. If any Of your friends
hear of the great northwest, give
them a warning 70 steer clear of
Bolings. I can't say anything about
the other firms, as I couldn't find
out anything.
Bolings is, I believe, the largest
factory Of its kind in the United
States, and they are turning out lots
Of death-dealing instruments to
murder the workers whenever they
make a stand to declare themselves
as men.

OUT OF WORK
Musicians Need Strong
Union to Fight

(By Worker Correspondent
With the rapidly increasing use Of
the niovietone and vitaphone mach
ines, 10000 musicians will find
themselves in the ranks of unskilled
and unemployed workers These
musicians can hope for very little
protection from the American Fede-
ration of Musicians, since Mr..
Weber, the president, himself is a
shareholder in the American Talk
ing Movies Corporation.
Of the musicians, the first to suf-
fer from the modern popularization
of jazz bands were the string instru-
ment players who either lost their
jobs, were forced to learn to play
some jazz instruments, or, if they
were to remain in the musicians
ranks, we're compelled to open up
their own violin studios.
A more serious blow was dealt
with the enforcement of the i'll
famed eighteenth amendment result
ing in the closing of thousands of
refreshment clubs, and the subse-
quent addition to the vast army Of
unemployed when tens of thousands
of musicians had to seek work in
other industries.
In spite of our difficulties, our
past experience has enlightened US
in realizing that only by powerful
union can we keep secure our posi-
lions as musicians.

Ahead of this labor must have done detailed ex- ploratson of the gravel beds and the establishment of the fact of the existence of sufficient gravel to keep them in operation for years to come. All of this preliminary work has been going on for de- cade but actual production through this method of mining in interior Alaska may be said to have be- come a reality only this summer.
 The effect of this activity is ob- vious in Fairbanks.

 This season 200 feet of tunnel was driven at 1.600-foot level, a large amount of stripping done and about 300 feet of trench, some of It in rock, cut. In addition about one mile of trail was constructed.
 Next year, MT. Eaton said, it is planned to erect a permanent camp yssor the crew. A second develop |ment tunnel will be driven at the lewer level and the entire season devoted to exploratory operations. In 1930 it is expected that actual mining operations will be under taken,
