ADVISE AGAINST
SCHOOL SHIFTS
Parents Asked Not to
Transfer Children.

Appeal to parents not to request
transfer of children from the dis
trict in which they reside, unless
imperative, was made today by Fred
T. GLADDEN..
Parents should send their chill
dren to the schools in the district
in which they reside" he said, "in
order to prevent confusion.
Transfers are granted occasion
ally where some excellent reason ex-
lists for doing so, but most requests
must be refused.
"a child may be transferred to an
other school district if the distance
is much closer than the distance tc
his own school. Transfers are also
granted frequently to obviate the
child crossing some dangerous bouI-
eYard, street or railroad that is I'M
protected with stop signs or cross
ing Waterman.
Another reason for which a
transfer may be granted is health OF
a frail child"
Transfers also will be granted,
GLADDEN. said, to schools where al
zebra and Latin are taught in the
eighth grade, if parents desire.
These subjects are not taught in al;
schools.
Schools teaching algebra and
Latin include: Schools 2, 3, 10, Is,

Tax Assessors Now FIv

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-The strides
made in the use of aerial photog-
raphy for tax assessment purposes
is evidenced in a report just issued
by Fairchild Aerial Surveys, Inc,
showing that fourteen cities and
towns in Connecticut utilize this
new method for making taxation
maps.
The airplane, it is reported, is
used to spot tax dodgers in much
the same way it was used to locate
enemy trenches in the late war.
The municipalities in Connecticut

5-CENT SLASH
IN 1929 SCHOOL
LEVY PROPOSED
Searching Criticisms Made
by C. of C. Finance
Committee.

School officials today were study
ing closely proposal of the Chamber
of Commerce finance committee
that the 1929 school city levy, adj
vertised at $1.03, be reduced 5 cents.
The cut would be accomplished by
sweeping budget slashes. Similar
reductions are urged in the separate
.1LAget for the last six months of
this year, prepared in order to
change from the fiscal to the cal
endar year.
Rising cost of elementary school
per capita cost disproportionate to
the average monthly enrolment
over period of six years is criti-
cized, as is a wide variation among
grade school building per capita OPP
Grating cost.
Instead of changing to the cal
endar year from the fiscal year, it
is proposed that after the present
year the schools return to the fiscal
year, with adoption of a budget and
levy in the spring, which it is adj
mitted may require special legisla-
ton.
Deficit Pointed Out
Suggestion is made thta the pro-
posed change from fiscal to calen-
dar-year basis is illegal, pointing
out that the purpose, to eliminate
making appropriations after the OBJ
legations provided for already had
been entered into, is scarcely
achieved, since almost three of the
six months being budgeted have
passed.
Reduction in the special fund levy
from 52.4 cents to 45.8 cents; in
crease in tuition fund levy from 1877
cents to 458 cents, to meet salaries
already contracted; reduction in Ii
brary fund from cents to So
cents, and retention of the 8 cents
Kindergarten levy are proposed.
The chamber suggestions, the re-
port asserts, would leave an actual
balance at the end of 1929 of ap-
proximately $35,798.49, while the
school city proposals with a $103
levy would leave a $4,000 net
deficit.
Public Hearing Set
1.-THE 98-cent rate will permit
necessary and ordinary expansion
in all department of the school
city," according to the report.
while at first it may appear to
be a serious reduction, that is not
the case. It should be borne in
mind that the $103 rate now exist
ing provided approximately 100000
for erection of elementary build
ings out of taxation. There is no
item in the new budget for such
construction.
Likewise an increase of approx
imately $1o,OO0,O0O in the assessed
valuation would add about 100000
to the school city revenue"
by the school board on the two
budgets at the regular meeting
Sept. IL.
Total reductions urged in the
1929 budget amount to $219,406.81,
leaving $7,O87, 1882. Principal re-
duction suggested is in the special
fund, $189,1 100. The only tuition
fund reduction proposed is $4,000
from proposed manual training
teacher salary increases.
Salary Provisions Short
The report recommends slashing
$27,700 from the library fund, in
Guiding $4,000 from $4,000 pro-
posed salary increases, $4,000 from
the library repair item, and $4,000

French Anti Clericals
Aid Missionaries for
Imperialist Service

PARIS, Nov. 4.-Prime Minister
BRAND, supposed radical" and
anti-clerical, has caused a fuss in
cabinet circles and his party by a
little practical help given to imper-
ialism.
He introduced into the budget
two paragraphs designed to give
back to the church properties to al
low them to train missionaries for
colonial countries. He contends that
the service of the missionaries in
Syria, China and Africa justified
the help of anti-clericals to the
church.
Poincare was uncertain, though
ready to aid the church, of being
attacked by the anti-clerical masses.
But he asked the socialist Sarraut,
vino helped suppress the Syrian
struggle for independence, and this
good socialist also approved of help
to Imperialism by way of grants to
the church. But the anti-clerical
party members are all stirred up
about it as a religious issue.

SILK WORKERS VOTE
LEFT WING PROPOSALS

proposals of the left wing for the
successful, militant conduct of the
strike.
The most important proposals call
for the placing of all union funds
at the disposal of the strike COM
n1ittee for purposes of relief; for
the payment of assessments by
workers still working in their shops
as well as for those who have gone
back to work in settled shops.
The proposals emphasized the
necessity of broadening the strike to
organize further ranks of the strik-
ers, and mentioned the unorganized
Jacquard workers especially. 1t fur
Their urged bringing out the rest of
the plain goods shops.
Right of the organizers of the As
ISOLATED Silk Workers Union to en-
ter shops to check up agreements
was also stressed in the proposals,
as was the necessity of the unions
cooperating with the shop chair
men.
Declaring that competent organ
izers are vital to the strike, no mat
ter where they come, the fifth pro-
posal called for more militant lead
ers. Aid to the National Textile
Workers Union in their organization
Of the dye workers was also en-
phasized by the proposals.
Demand for mass parade to
show the power of the union in Pat
erson was also put forward, the pro-
posal calling for the participation of
all Paterson labor organizations on
the issue Of the eight-hour day.
The closing proposals called for
the organization Of the youth and
the women and encouragement to
the auxiliary workers, who must hn
made to feel that the union is their
union.
"The first issue before us is a
strong union in Paterson" the
speaker asserted, after the reading
of the left wing proposals, mot the

the present situation, Gertrude
Mueller declared. 1t exists because
these incompetent officials have not
allowed demonstration of full
power by the Associated Silk Work
ers Union, because they are sure the
present leadership will do nothing
effective, because they have never
shown the full solidarity of the en-
tire union, because they never pre-
pared the strike as they should and
because they never attempted to
draw out the largest possible num-
Der of workers. Failure to demon
strate the solidarity of all union
shops and their right wing policy of
settling shops before a sufficient
number were out on strike to ensure
the aggressiveness of the struggle
were other blunders for which the
speaker scored the leaders.
The speaker then showed how
the failure of the officialdom to in
sist on the presence of an organizer
when shop settles is also a fatal
mistake of the present leadership
"The settlement committee admits
that fifty per cent of the settle
ments are fake" she said, "but all
they do is to blame the workers after
leaving them alone to shift for them
selves. The settlement committee
makes no effort to investigate settle.
ments, merely expecting the workers
to make them.
The left wing has made repeated
attempts to correct the serious mis-
takes of the incompetent leadership
in the conduct of the strike, but,
though the officialdom asserts that
many of the left wing proposals
have been passed, it has taken
weeks to put them into effect. ''The
leadership always acts toe late" the
speaker declared.
The left wing proposed IN execu-
tive committee to carry out the de-
cisions of the strike committee, and
the right wing sahotaged the pro-
posal. AS a result the machinery
for holding the demands which the
workers have gained is totally lack

SOCIALISTS join
LSUDSKI GROUP.
PARTY is SPLIT
Communists Are Only
Opposition Now

WARSAW, Nov. 4.-The annual
convention of the Polish socialist
party at Sosnowiec, in upper Silesia,
sees a destructive split in it's leader
ship, the Warsaw organization hav-
ing gone over entirely to the ultra
reactionary Pilsudski.
The weeks preceding the conven-
ton prepared the way for an open
alliance with Pilsudski. When the
Polish socialists, fearing that the
Lodz general strike would develop
into national strike, and thus
threaten the very government, they
exerted their influence in the
Silesia coal fields, and by confer
ences with the government, sabo-
tagged the general strike, this causing
split among the rank and file.
5 Socialists" Join Pilsudski.
When the Communists, gaining
ground in the industrial centers
forced the socialists to define their
position clearly, five socialist depu-
ties in the Sejm Joined Pilsudski's
party last week, causing split
among the leaders themselves.
While one conference is going on
at Sosnowiec another, that of the
split off section, is going on at
Katowitz, ten miles away. At this
conference, in true Pilsudski fashion,
the socialists are declaring them
selves to be the traditional party,
and the revolutionary" fraction of
the party.
If the revolutionary" fraction
of the socialist party joined Pilsud-
ski, many are thinking who will the
less revolutionary" section ally
themselves with?
In view of the strengthing of the
Pilsudski dictatorship recently by
changes in the cabinet, and due to
the socialist split, many are fore
casting that the near future will see
the Communists as the only effect
i've opposition to the Pilsudski
regime.
