WHAT HAPPENS IN MY SCHOOL
By LA LUCAS.

On Sept. 80 we will have to give
an oral talk. The teacher is giving
us one week to get a current event
from the papers. l have a topic
already that l will speak about. This
| is "Arabs are fighting against the
British bosses" l have read that
in the Young Pioneer Corner, and
decided on taking it.
One day the teacher told US to
write about some famous men. l
wrote about Comrade C. E. Ruthen-
berg. She asked me where / found
it out that he was famous, and l told
her that probably he is not famous
for you or any other capitalist, but
he is famous man for the working
class.
Just before the term ended we had
to write a composition about one of
the following topics she gave US.
/. Why the American Federation
of Labor is doing marvellous things
for the workers.
2. Who was j. D. Rockefeller,
Carnegie, Jefferson, Washington.
l wrote about the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, refused to mark
my paper, and would not give it
back to me. I'll write more about
my school later.

against the lockout of union work
ers at the Richardson & Boynton
stove plant of this city, 1000 union
men and women paraded through
the streets of Dover Sept. % in one
of the strongest labor demonstra-

sheet metal workers, pattern makers
and foundrymen, Great tenacity in
fighting this open shop offensive

shop, and have erected a permanent
picket shanty by the works.

GREET RETURN OF CHILDREN'S
U.S.S.R. DELEGATION.

After an all-summer tour of the
U. S. S. R., the workers children's
delegation, L.ade up of workers
children from the basic industries
all over the country is returning to
America cain. The delegation, while
in the Soviet Union, attended the
All-Union Pioneer Congress. They
also toured the Soviet Union, seeing
the conditions of the workers chill
, dren there, so that they could come
back and give report to the Ameri-
can working-cla children about the
children over there.
On Sept %, they left Europe on
the liner Berengaria, for the U. S.
On the same boat with them is Ram
say Macdonald, the labor" premier
of Great Britain. This Socialist"
sent troops to Palestine to crush the
revolt of the Arabian workers, and
broke the strike of a half million
textile workers in Manchester, Eng
land.
Macdonald is supposed to be COM
ing to America to confer with Presi-
dent Hoover about disarmament"
He is really coming here to form a
united front with the American
bosses for an attak on the only
workers, and farmers government,
the Soviet Union.
Comrades, we an show Macdonald
what we think of him by holding
mass meetings to greet our comrades
returning to America. We must
show him that the American work
ers and their children will fight
against attacks upon our fatherland,
the U. S. S. R.
We will not allow the bosses to
crush the government of the work
ers and peasants of the Soviet
/ Unionn!
We will DEFEND THE SOVIET
UNION!
GREET THE CHILDREN'S U. S.

Postpone Strike
of Truck Drivers

For the fourth time within a week
Truckmens Union, Local 202, has
postponed its threatened strike.
Yesterday the officials of the union,
who have been doing their best to
stifle the resentment of the men and
prevent strike, met and decided to
give the employers until midnight
Sunday to meet the demand for an
eight-hour day.
While the union officials are de-
laying the strike, the bosses are col
lecting scabs to use if the walkout
actually takes place. They have
stated that they will employ profess
sional scab agencies to furnish
strikebreakers.

FRACTIONAL FIGHT GROWS.

SPRINGFIELD, III. (FP).-The
fight between the Illinois district of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea and Int. Pres. John L. Lewis
over the remains of the defunct
union has reached the point where
the official Illinois organ publicly
calls Lewis a Mussolini. In a g.
column spread on the front page the
Illinois Miner says:
at SO happens that the interna-
tional executive board, designed to
form a check on the Musselinian
power of president, has degenerated
into helpless bunch of yes men,
who are ordered about like Sc many
snot -nosed kids and whose only
choice is between humble obedience
and resignation.

The BUTTERFLY Y.
WALKER THINKS.
He IS new YORK
Bosses Mayor Makes
Campaign Speech

Jimmy Walker, the Tammany
mayor of New York, whose admin
istration, reeking with corruption,
has been under steady fire of
criticism since the beginning of the
mayoralty campaign, was smoked
out Wednesday night and branded
his opponents as "demagogues' and
"slanderers."
Thinks He Is City.
The male Broadway butterfly and
cabaret clown, who was following
a policy of silence regarding the ex-
posture of the close connection of
Tammany with the late gambler
and dope peddler, Arnold Rothstein,
who made lavish loans and gifts to
Tammany judges and city hall Of
ficials, finally had to devise de-
Tense. He did so in an address be-
fore a group of needle trades manu-
facturers by accusing everyone who
exposed his administration of "slan-
dering the city of New York Wal
kef, like all lammanylteS, think
Tammany is synonymous with the
city Of New York.
Profound Political Discourse.
In high, screeching, almost de-
lirious voice, the Tammany mayor
made the following contribution to
politics in New York: 'If l thought
what they think about New York,
the slanderers and the critics (his
hands trembling with feeling, ac-
cording to the capitalist press)
rather than seek political office I'd
pack up tomorrow and move out of
town"

CONDITIONS OF THE Chill DREN
IN MY TOWN.
BY BERTHA BROSKY.

School has started, and all the
workers children have gone to
school. But most of the children
have been chased out because they
couldn't get the things that are
needed. Some come dirty because
they have been chased out of their
houses, and have no place to wash,
but the old runs and dirty creeks.
But what is the cause of this?
1t is that the bosses think that
they are smart, and can have a good
time, but the poor just sit around
and have no money and no work.
And the ones that have work don't
get enough money.

BATTLE RACES IN
COLORADO PRISON
) GUARDS DEAD
Bad Conditions Cause
Bloody Revolt

CANTON ely, Colo, Oct. 8.
(U.P.).-Two flaming buildings
within the prison enclosure illumin-
ated general rioting which was rag
ing tonight through the oyercrowded
Colorado State Penitentiary.
The mutiny started at noon, when
hundreds of convicts leaped sudden
ly from their dinner tables and at
tackled the guards and officers. The
chapel dining room soon was in
flames. The rioting spread rapidly
and two cell houses too were ablaze
g while later.
The uproar was defeaning
Guards fired constantly at the men,
who ran from the cell houses to the
prisno yards. Many fell, either kill
ed or wounded. Screams and curses
arose from every cell.
Three guards were known to be
dead. They were c. w. Rinker, R.
B. Brown and J. G. Irwin. Robert
Goodwin was injured seriously in
the rioting.
National Guard airplanes from
Denver were en- route here with
tear bombs and machine guns.
The utmost confusion ragged with
in the walls.
Report Arsenal Captured.
4N- 70
captured the prison arsenal and to
be furnishing their comrades with
guns. A call for aid was cent by
prison officials.
A detachment TO police and sher-
iff's officers left from Colorado
Springs, while a squad of Colorado
National Guard airplanes sped from
Denver, loaded with tear bombs and
machine guns.
The prison for the past year has
been badly overcrowded. Prisoners
slept in improvised quarters and ate
in shifts.
While one shift was eating the
mutiny started. 1t spread simultan-
eously as if by prearranged signal.
Some reports said that shot, fired
ust as the prisoners shuffled in the
dining room, had been the signal
for hte uprising.
Whistles began to blow from
within the prison. A crowd of mere
than 500 citizens gathered outside
the walls, but none could enter.
Volley after volley of shots could be
heard inside, mad occasionally an
agonized scream.
Confusing Reports.
All manner of reports were rife
outside the walls. Many said pris-
oners had entire charge of the pen
itentiary, while others said that
prisoners by the score had escaped
during the battle.
The Canon City fire and police
department established guards
around the walls in answer to calls
for help from Warden Eugene
Crawford and John Allen, clerk, be-
fore the wires were cut.
The Howitzer Company of the
18TH infantry, Colorado National
Guard, stationed at Canon City,
was dispatched to the prison on
order of Gov. w. H. Adams.
Use Machine Guns.
The company puored shost from
machine guns against barricades
erected by prisoners from partitions,
tables and other furniture in the
prison yard.
Of the 1000 convicts in the priso-
on, at least 600 were engaged in
the battle, which became furious as
the hours passed.
The convicts seized ex-senator
George E. Colgate, who was visiting
the prison, and three guards. They
were held as hostages and used
wherever possible as shields from
firing of officers.

BERLIN, Oct. 3.-Gustav Strese-

early today from a paralytic stroke
after attending a caucus of the
Peoples Party" where he had been
greatly excited. Herman Mueller,
socialist" chancellor and prominent
betrayer of the German proletariat
into the world war, will temporar-

Stresemann, representative of
heavy industry, was, with eager So
cialist cooperation, responsible for
turning Germany, victimized by AL
lied reparations demands, away
from rapprochement with the Soviet
Union, toward, Western, particular
ly American imperialism, and the
loading of the German proletariat
with double exploitation under the

of LaSalle st. in Chicago are con-

Carl Williams, an appointee of

befoer the committee at Washing

Republicans Seek
Committee Places

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-tR-
The overwhelming republican ma
jority Of l02 in the house forecasts
"a general shake-up in most COM
mittee memberships that will
strengthen the republican and weak
en- the democratic representation.
Republican leaders have indicated
TO Representative Garner or Texas,
minority leader, they desire to in
crease their membership on the
major committees Of 81 members
from 10 to Ia. This would reduce
the democrats from 8 to Y, and
would necessitate the transfer Of
several TO other committees.
The republican majority was in
creased by the 1923 elections from
81 In the SEVENTEEN congress to 100
in the seventy first. The house
membership or AS. has 267 repub-
licans. 165 democrats. one Farmer
Laborer, and two vacancies.
When the regular session begins
on Monday. only five committees
organized in the special session,
will be functioning. The remain
der will be organized later In the
week after the republicans and
democrats have selected their COM
