Continue School Strike
Until Parents Demands
Are Met by Authorities

While Miss McCooey, associate
superintendent of the Brooklyn pub
lie schools, and DR.. Baker, superin-
tendent of the schools in the eastern
section of Brooklyn denied that
there was strike because of over
crowded schools, inconvenient loca-
ton and traffic menace, mothers
held two mass meetings last night
at $3.50, one outside Public School
No. 10 and the other outside Public
School No. so at which it was de-
cided to carry on the strike.
The mothers object to sending
their children to overcrowded and
far-distant schools and to the new
assignment of pupils which has re-
suited in children of one family go
ing to three different schools.
The mothers refuse to send their
children to school unless the condi-
tions are remedied.

movement a fertile field for revo-
lutionary activity because of their
conditions. The young workers must
be won for the working class. And
the only way that the youth can be
won is by the building up of it's
vanguard, the strengthening of the
Communist youth movement, the de-
gree of active support that the Party
gives to the Young Workers Com
munist League.
International Youth Day is being
celebrated thruout the world. In
every section of the globe, the Com
munist Parties and the Young Com
munist Leagues arrange joint cele-
brations on this occasion. Interna-
tional Youth Day was born in the
period of imperialist war. It's ira
dition is one of struggle against i'm
perialism. The COMMUNIST Parties
must participate in this demonstra-
ton of the working youth against
the present war danger, must help
to mobilize the entire working class
for militant struggle against paci-
fist illusions and against the war
preparations of the exploiters.
For that reason there will be
held in New York City a joint mass
meeting on September 14th in the
Irving Plaza Hall. Every class
conscious worker should be there. as
sign of solidarity with the ex-
plotted toiling youth. The Party as
whole will have to pay more at
tention to the problem of the young
workers and of giving greater sup
port to our youth movement, which
has done such excellent work III the
last Period. The Communist Youth
League has participated in every
political demonstration that the
Party, has organized in recent
months. The League has done good
work in the c. NJ. T. C's this SUM
mer in the New York district. Gen
orally. the work Ct he League has
improved much
"Now it is up to the Party mem
bership to develop the Young Work
ers (Communist) League still fur
Their, and for the Party units to help
the League politically, morally and
financially.
every Party member, every mill
tant class-conscious worker, should
attend the International Youth Day
mass meeting Friday night"

were not the preiudiced story of
friends of Schiffrin, but the exact
testimony rendered by police max
ing the arrests of both Schiffrin,
two of his comrades and three Of
the right wing knitting crew." They
and the capitalist press, who GER
tainly cannot be termed friends of
the left wing, clearly showed that
the six right wing agents had
leaped out of an auto and rushed at
Schiffrin and his friend. His
friend fled, Schiffrin was hemmed
in, and he decided to face his at
tackers. Harry Silver, leading the
armed squad, received wound from
penknife from which he later
died.
Tomorrow the hearing of the
case will be continued in the 161st
st. Magistrate Court before Judge
Dodge. Schiffrin is held on charge
of homicide while his two COM
panions and the three right wingers
are out on bail of $1,000.
The case grew out of an attempt
of the socialist officials of the But
cheers Union, to deprive a left wing
worker from his job because he had
been a supporter of demand to in
vestigate the finance records of L
Korn, socialist head of the union.
These brutal methods of crushing
the militancy out Of the Jewish la
Dor movement, which are resorted
to by the right wing are condemned
vehemently by the workers. A move
ment can already be seen develop
ing, to drive out of the labor move
ment elements which use the weapon
of depriving families of bread, ano
knitting attacks of workers in order
to retain their control of the work
ers organizations.
During the last period of struggle
against the socialists, the Jewish
working class has seen A. Gross, fun
union leader, barely escape death in
brutal attack by professional
gangsters. Another Italian worker
barely escaped murder.

quietly asked Batty how many came

there were many sympathetic or

New Rule After Four
Escape

SALEM, Mass, Sept. IL (UP).-
Twenty prisoners employed in the
workshop of the Norfolk County
Jail here went on strike today be-
cause of a new ruling depriving
them of half hour recreation per-
iod.
The ruling was put in effect af-
ter the escape of four prisoners
from the jail Sunday night. They
sawed their way to freedom through
the bars in a window in the jail
dining room.
The prisoners were engaged in
reed work. They refused to leave
their cells unless they were accorded
the recently rescinded right.
Prison authorities said the strike
did not amount to "a row of pins"
because other prisoners were only
too willing to be permitted to leave
their cells to work in the reed room.

TEXTILE STRIKER
LEARNS TO DIET
IA Year Old Daughter,
A Miracle Cook

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Sept.
12.-Joseph Julio, a rank and file
textile striker here yesterday told a
representative of the Workers In
ternational Relief that his ability
to withstand the rigors of the %
week strike is entirely due to the
miracle his 14-year-old daughter
performs in the stewpot. When in
terviewed by representative of the
relief committee, Julio said, "You
should see what my girl Victoria
can make with the supplies the re-
lief station gives her" Victoria is
dark-eyed Portuguese girl who
smiled shyly as her father paid
tribute to her culinary art.
A Workers Life.
The Julios live in a ramshackle
house on South First Street; the
father is a widower and he and his
eight children live in three rooms.
His average earnings for the past
two years have been S13 a week. His
fourteen year old daughter has no
time to go to school as she looks
after her little brothers and sisters.
This family is typical of the thou
sands of striking families here and
Fall River who are standing by the
Textile Mill Committee in the fight
to break the power of the PREACHER
Gus American Federation of Labor
textile union which is making break
neck efforts to betray the 22-week
strike.
Appeals for Support.
Fred Beidenkapp, national secre-
tary of the Workers international
Relief, yesterday issued an urgent
appeal for funds with which to con-
tinue feeding the 10000 textile
strikers in New Bedford and Fall
River. "The next few weeks"
Beidenkapp said, will determine the
outcome of the strike. 1t is the
duty of all militant workers to make
the utmost sacrifices to help feed
these heroic workers"

SAN FRANCISCO, April IT, From tho crest of Mount Diablo near Oakland, more land and sea is visible than from any other spot on the North American con tinent.
 On tnls emlnence and on one of tic Merced hills near Los An geles. incandescent electric bea- cons are being reared above two 75-foct towers tp aid nighttime aviation.
 The beaeons will develop ten million candlepower. and will have a visibility of 100 to 150 i, miles. They will be illuminated sometime this month. As Mount Diablo rises from level country, the placing of a light upon it is virtually equival- ent to placing a beacon on tow CT 4,000 feet high, or four times as high as the Paris Eiffel tower. The need for height is to sur mount fog which sometimes cur tains the aviator's view of the ground up to an altitude of about 1000 feet.
 The reflector and lens of the beacons are 36 inches in diameter. In front of the reflector is a 1.500- watt incandescent lamp. If fl burns out a second lamp is thrown over automatically to take it's place.
 An astronomical clock turns the i beacons on at sunset and off at dawn, compensating automatically i for the constantly changing time of sunset and sunrise. The Standard Oil company is in stalling the two beacons at the suggestion of the department of commerce, complementing the ex. isting system of daylight airway signs and of beacons which are being built or which are projected by the department of commerce.
