WORKERS SCHOOL.
GIVES 5 CLASSES
in COMMUNISM"
Reeve, Dailes, Kaplan
Among. Instructors

Due to the heavy registration for
the Fundamentals of Communism"
course during the past fall term the
Workers School has scheduled five
classes in this subject to begin in
the coming spring term, one or each
evening in the week. The instruc-
tors will be Nat Kaplan, Eve Dorf,
Rebecca Grecht, Karl Reeve and Ida
Dailes.
Big Attendance Last Year.
During the past fall term $50
workers registered for this basic
course in the Workers School. Next
to English the fundamentals of
Communism" subject was the most
heavily registered for in the school,
in fact totalling over SO per cent of
the registration of the English
classes. This is record number for
the Fundamentals of Communism
course. Heavy registration for this
course was the outstanding feature
in the fall term of the Workers
School.
Great interest in the "Fundamen-
tails of Communism" has proved
very gratifying to the committee in
charge of the Workers School, as it
shows that the workers are seeking
a real thorough basis for their fu-
ture educational activities, and be-
cause it proves that the workers are
interested, not only in improving
their technique by taking classes in
English, Public Speaking, ETC., but
that workers also are anxious to inn
prove their political understanding.
Plan Text Book.
The Workers School is prepared
to organize more classes in this
course if such are needed. The
fundamentals of Communism" in
structors have handed in detailed
outlines in connection with the
course, and, as result, the Workers
School intends in the future to pub
fish a Fundamentals of Commu-
nism" text book that can be used
all over the country. The following
IS schedule of the various "Fun-
damentals of Communism" classes
to be offered the coming spring
term: Section 1, Monday, $3.50 p. M,
Karl Reeve; Section 2. Tuesday, z
p. M, Eve Dorf; Section 8, Wednes-
day, $50 p. M, Ida Dailes; Section
4, Thursday. Z p. m, Nat Kaplan;
Section S, Friday, p. M, Rebecca

All workers are urged to register
at the Workers School, 1928 Union
Square, without delay, SO that the
course can start as soon as possible.

The strike against the Feifer
Brothers Slipper Co. called two days
ago by the Independent Shoe Work
ers' Union ended yesterday with a
victory for the union. The strike
against the shop was declared be-
cause the bosses demanded reduc-
ton in wages of from five to forty
per cent, open shop, securities of
5000 from each worker and dis
elimination against active members
of the union.
After the shop had been picketed
for two days, the bosses requested

tives Of the union and the strike
committee. This conference was
held ON Wednesday night, and an
agreement was reached. The firm
agreed to re-employ the old crew,
and all scabs will be discharged. The
firm also agreed to recognize the
union and representatives of the
union and the right for the repre-

shop, attacked the pickets, and after
a short battle five of the scabs and
one striker were arrested. They
were all released under 500 bail
each and the case will come up
Wednesday, Jan. 80, in the Jeffer-
son Market Court.
The strikers are determined to
carry on the struggle against the
bosses till their fight ends in vic
tory.

declared themselves in favor of other
bills for slight notifications in the
existing laws; one allowing SIX
months more time for federal
courts to delay before telling those
claiming damages that they should
have made the claim under the COM
pensation act. The federal courts
always wait until it is legally too
late to make this. claim before mott
flying claimants.
Another bill includes mentally in
capacitated children over IL years
of age among dependents of work
ers. The limit under which wages
may not be garnisheed is to be
raised to S25 week under another
bill. There is little assurance that

II Hour Day Enforced;
Workers Tell Facts
Continued from Page One)

The force of workers in the big
Simon Alderman factories are COM
PEELED to slave II hours a day be-
fore the piece-work system allows
them enough to sustain themselves.
And how much is this? The work.
ers here earn $685. day. The
brother of Fl. Blumberg, one of Hill
mans chief henchmen, is the labor
manager in this shop.
A worker was telling of how he
had gone hunting for job. He APP
piled at the J. Friedman Co., an
other big manufacturer. After
working three hours at Hillman's
riece-work system he was told by
the foreman that he had earned ex-
actly $1.35. "At these wages" the
worker stated, II am compelled to
work from IL to ID hours if / want
to earn enough to exist" He quit
the job after being told this and be-
gan to hunt further.
The strike of the 400 workers of
the fremont Clothing Co., which
fought for the abolition of the stand
ard of production, was broken by a
preventative from the national Of
flee, the Hillman lieutenant Blum
berg. Blumberg came to Boston,
went into conference with the bosses
and told the workers to go back
since he had Settled"
The settlement" reached by the
Hillman man, was that the firm re-
tains the right to the standard Of
production, which is a particular
form of Hillmanesque speed-up, per-
hitting the cutting of wages if the
worker does not produce a certain
standard amount set by the boss.
The demand of the firm, that the
workers make up 1900 garments on
their own time, which had been a
shortage on a newly raised "stand.
ard set by the boss, was given over
for decision to an impartial" chair
man. Thus not one demand of the
workers was acceded by the boss in
this sell out.
Forcing the acceptance of the piece
work and other condition degrading
schemes of the Hillman gang, the
referendums had been faxed by the
officials and advertised as victory
by the Forward.

LAHORE, India, (By Mail) =
Police at Lahore halted a demon
stration of over 5000 unemployed
ex-soldiers, who were marching on
the Governors House, with the
avowed intention of demanding that
the officials secure them relief.
The Anglo-British authorities
panic-struck at the determination of
the marchers ordered police to
charge the column as it advanced
towards the mansion thru the
streets.
Those of the marchers who were
not pitilessly beaten by the police
were trampled during the charge.
Many of the unemployed men were
seriously injured tho the authorities
made no effort to care for the vic
tins of police ferocity, but threw a
number into Jail Immediately. Many
bystanders were also trampled.
The leader of the march was i'm
prisoned at once and held incom-
municado.
During the struggle with the
police the unemployed were forced
into roadway where they were
blockaded by fresh platoons of police
rushed to the scene.
Unrest thruout the Punjab, by
nature one of the richest provinces
of India, is being famed by the
rapid growth of unemployment, and
especially by the brutality of the

Meanwhile Henry S. Johnston,

out cause proclamation calling
out the state militia to prevent a
special session of the legislature in

He was impeached Friday on five

of tn, charges involve corruption in

claim they also paid brides without
getting results.
o. P. Slack, the commissioner, told
the house committee which is inves-
tigating the affairs of all state de-
