Education both as a source of happi-
ness and well-being to its possesSor and
as equipment for business success IS up
held by the press in discussing recent
remarks by DR.. Harold F. Clark, New
York educator, who questioned the value
OF college courses to money-makers.
Believing that the professor has been
misinterpreted, the Binghamton Press
offers the opinion that what he was
driving at was that the prime objective
of the average college Is not to teach .

"A generation ago, when the men now
at the head of business in this country
were starting in" says the Detroit Free
Press, "a college education was sought
by comparatively few youths who in
tended to go into counting houses. The
consequence is that business Is still
manned to a large extent by men who
did not attend college. Among them
college man may find himself little
hesitant and occasionally stumped for a
quick answer: but the proportion of
these old-timers is rapidly decreasing.
The outlook is for a new order in buSi-
ness, when more men who enter 1t will

emerged with the ability to make
sounder decisions and in whom daring

HlLL-MAN TRIES
TO BREAK STRIKE
Army of Thugs, Police
Fail to Crush Spirit

The terror machine of the Hillman
gang in control of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers Union was set into
motion yesterday morning in a
desperate attempt to crush the "out-
law" strike of the workers formerly
employed in the shop of Stelofsky
and Hyman.
Actually scores of professional
thugs, on the payroll of the Anal
gamated, in addition to full detail
of members of the bomb and in
dustrial squads, came to the Blocker
Street building where the shop is
located and where the workers were
picketing, and thru sheer physical
force compelled some of the workers
to go up to work.
The entire crew in this shop had
gone out on strike because left
winger in the shop, one of the
staunchest defenders of the union
standards, had been dismissed from
work. The dismissal was ordered by
the officialdom of the Amalga-
mated.
One woman striker and a strike
sympathizer was slugged by the
thugs right before the adaptable
eyes of the alleged enforcers of
claw and order"
The strikers, however, are by nc
means discouraged by this show OF
brute zee. Under the leadership
Of the Executive Committee of the
Shop Delegates Conference, and or
gained left wing movement, they
are recognizing their forces ant
calling on sympathizers to picket the
shop, SO that the workers who were
forced up into the shop, shall moi
be compelled to go up again.

Prosecutor Insists on
30-Day Terms

ELIZABETH, N. j., March 49,
George Hanway and Jack Glass, two
strikers sentenced to serve 80 days
for picketing in the Summit silk
strike, failed to win their appeal
because the prosecuting attorney in
sisted that the sentence of the lower
court be sustained.
County Judge Stein, after listen
ing to the evidence presented by the
prosecutor and the appeal of the
defendants attorney, provided by
the International Labor Defense,
seemed to be on the verge of freeing
the workers, when the prosecutor
insisted that the sentence be sus-
tanned.
The reason given by the district
attorney was that picketing was

go to Jail for 80 days.
The employers in the Summit silk
strike are bending all efforts toward
framing the strikers. The Ma

leading the strike, and is determined
to fight until victorious.

LID Bazaar Success:
Ask All Outstanding
Money Be Turned In

Tabulations Of the results of the
annual bazaar of the New York dis
trict of the International Labor De-
Tense, which closed Sunday night,
show that, considering the unfavor-
able conditions, the bazaar was a
success, it was announced yesterday
by Rose Baron, secretary.
Widespread unemployment, the
needle trades strike and the many
other activities in which workers
were engaged cut into the receipts,
she said, but despite this fact CON
siderable funds were raised for the
defense of class-war prisoners.
A large number of organizations,
representing many trades and ma
tionalities, cooperated in the bazaar.
Among the most active were the var
ious councils of the United Council
of Working Women and the As IL.

its appreciation to all these organi-
cations for the work they did in be-
half of the victims of the capitalist
courts.

Payty,s New
Name Shows
It's Growth

By a decision of the Sixth Ma
tional Convention of the Workers
(Communist) Party, the name of the
Party has been changed to Commu-
mist Party of the United States OF
America, section of the Communist
International.
This decision signifies more thar
a mere change of name. 1t marks
an important step in the development
of the American Party, from a pro-
paganda organization to a frankly
revolutionary mass Party of the
working class, fighting under the
leadership of the Communist Inter
national for the overthrow of Amer
lean capitalism.
The name Workers Party was
adopted in 1921 for the legal organi-
cation that was founded in that year
as an auxiliary to the illegal Com
munist Party. At that time only the
Communist Patry was a section OF
the Communist International.
At the beginning of 1928 the Com.
munist Party and the Workers
Party were merged and the Workers
(Communist) Party became the
American section of the Comintern
This remained the name of the Party
until the decision of the historic
Sixth National Convention which
closed Sunday.
The Communist Party has now
rid itself of all reformist 'hang.
