school, be suspended for the remainder
of the current school year.
When suspension of the boys was
considered, opposition to that form OF
punishment for the offense OF asserting
on pledge cards that they were not
members of any unapproVed organiza-
tons was voiced by Henry L. Gilligan,
who offered a substitute recommended
ton. Mr.. Gilligan proposed that the
boys be allowed to return to class II
they submitted written apologies for
their Justification to their principal,
Alvin w. Miller of Central High School.
This proposal was seconded by Rev. F.
l. A. Bennett.
Mr.. Gilligan contended that II the
boys had been given chance to apollo
gi2e there would have been no need of
the matter of the punishment having
been brought to the attention of the
school board. Isaac Cans said he, too,
felt that Giiligan's method would have
been ample punishment.
Dr. Charles F. CaruSi, president of
the board, agreed that such procedure
as Mr. Gilligan proposed might be suffi-
cient, but, he said, in permitting the
students to return to their classes with
no more definite penalty. I'VE are called
upon to announce publicly our unwill-
ingness to support the principals of our
schools in maintaining discipline"
Dangerous Precedent.
Mrs William c. Mcneil declared the
board would be establishing a danger
Gus precedent in undertaking to punish
living, and Mrs. Smith. who presented
the report, countered with the emphatic
statement that 1.-The sooner we start
furnishing liars the better off this Ma
ton will be-"
DR.. II. Barrett Learned pointed out
that the term lying" in connection
with the offense of Neale and Cochran,
avoids the truth" He contended that
III submitting the pledge cards with the
misstatementS and in allowing them to
stands for months as certificates of the
truth, the youths were guilty of pro
longed and deliberate falSehood,' not
akin to an impromptu lie which might
be told by a person under examination
by authorities DR.. Learned opposed
Mr.. Gilligan's suggestion by declaring
the boys had had ample opportunity to
apologize if they sincerely wanted to.
The vote was taken on Mr.. GilliganS
motion and five members voted against
it, while the remaining three. includ-
ing Gilligan himself. cast affirmative
votes. On the committees recommended

the opponents of Mr.. Gilligan's motion

CAN CONGRESS VOTE
ON PENSION PLAN7

Washington.-Gov employ
es are hoping Congressman Smell,
chairman of the house rules commit
tee, will permit the house to consider
the DaleLehlbach retirement legisla-
ton. The bill passed the senate and
Chairman Smell has been instructed
by his committee to recommend con-
sideration by the house.
The bill would increase the maxi
mum retirement pay to $1,000 year,
and would raise the average allow
ance to $500 a year. The present
maximum is $1,000, with an average
of aruond $700, but many receive less
than 500 yearly.
Local newspapers declare that the
president is using his influence in op-
position to the BILL
The measure also provides that the
salary basis for retirement pay be
computed on the basis Of the last five
years instead of the last ten years
of service. It's section on voluntary
retirement would give an employe
with 30 years service the right to re-
tire at 68, SO or go years, according
to employment, instead of 70, 65 or
62.
Contributions from employees under
the Dale-Lahlbach bill would remain
the same. There are more than 4OO,-
600 employees who come under the re-
tirement law. They pay into the
fund three and one-half per cent of
their salary, amounting to $4,000, 900
annually.

Detroit Membership Meeting
Pledges Intensification of
Party Work

Three hundred members attended the spe-
cial membership meeting in Detroit called to
discuss and act on the Recruiting Campaign
on Tuesday, December 10.
The membership meeting, the largest in
years, and perhaps the largest meeting in the
history of Detroit, listened to the report of
Comrade Stachel the district organizer which
was followed by a spirited and serious discus
sion of the recruiting campaign in which 10
comrades participated.
The membership meeting, weeks previous,
having discussed the decisions of the Tenth
Plenum of the ECCI and the October Plenum
of the &C, limited itself mainly to the discus
sion of the campaigns of the Party and the
practical methods of carrying on the work.
In the report on the unemployment cam
paign, the building of the Auto Workers
Union and the Trade Union Unity League, the
Struggle Against Imperialist War, and the De-
Tense of the Soviet Union, were stressed as
the means through which we will mobilize
the masses for struggle, and recruit the most
militant workers into the Party.
Most of the discussion centered on the
methods to be used in conducting the Re-
cruiting Campaign, and the steps that must
be taken to improve the Party organization,
the functioning of the units in order not only
to increase the membership of the Party in
the drive but to retain the new members that
will be secured
Discussion also developed on the new dues
paying system that is being instituted by the
Central Committee beginning the first of the
year. The opinion was almost unanimous
that this is a necessary step in order to stabi-
lie the financial situation in the Party and
assure the life and Improvement of the Daily
Worker" the central organ of the Party.
Taking up the challenge. of the Cleveland
District. the membership meeting unanimous
ly decided to answer the challenge by raising
the quota for Detroit set by the National Or
ganization Department as follows:
l. To secure 500 new members instead of
400, the quota set for Detroit and Cleveland.
2 To increase the number of readers of
the Daily Worker by 1000 instead of 400, the
quota set for Detroit and Cleveland.
8. To build Is additional factory nuclei in
stead of 10, the quota set for Detroit and
Cleveland.
4. To publish 10 factory shop papers in
stead of the quota set for Detroit, additional
shop papers.
5. To secure 70 Negro workers for the
Party in the 500 to be recruited
Pledge of Every Member.
Every member present individually pledged
to carry out the following tasks:

Social-Fascism in Austria and the
Struggle Against It

in every way to prevent the revolutionary spirit
of the masses developing to the point where
fascism could and would have been smashed
in the factories and it's base in the cities de-
stroyed.
As the cial-democratic leaders retreated,
fascism advanced. Today the socal-democrats
conspire to prevent mass revolt against the
fascist proposal of the government which
means utmost misery heaped upon the already
low paid and oppressed Austrian workers.
The Communist Party of Austria has con-
tinually warned the workers. 1t has lead them
in struggles and fully conscious of the fascist
danger, is organizing the masses for resistance.
Recently there was held in Vienna, under the
leadership of the Communist Party, confer
ence of revolutionary shop stewards. This
program calls for revolutionary united front
against factory fascism, against capitalist
tionalization, against the increased cost of liv-
ing, against the wholesale dismissas of rev.
dictionary workers from the factories" Special
demands are raised for young workers, for work
ing women and the working peasantry. (This
is an exploited section of the population to
which the Austro- Marxists have never paid the
slightest attention with the result that fascism
has been handed fertile field for organiza-
tion).
The spirit of the masses is shown by the
growing number of fights which took place be-
tween workers and fascsts as at Bruck on Muir,
in the Alpine Montana works and in the streets.
We can expect civil war in Austria. Under
the leadership of the Communist Party of
Austria the workers will fight. 1t is neces-
sary to begin at once the widest preparations
to support their struggle against the fascist
dictatorship. Social democracy has handed the
Austrian masses over to fascsm. This must
be made known to every worker and the inter-
national working class organized to smash this
social treason.
Soviets as against fascist councils!
workers government as against the Scho-
Der regime of Austrian capitalism and imper-
ialist reaction.
The events in Austria constitute another
threat against the Soviet Union and must be
considered as an important part of the i'm
perialist war preparations The fascist regimes
Of Poland, Rumania, Jugo-Slavia and Hungary
are imperialist weapons against the Soviet
Union. To this arsenal Austria is to be adj
ded. Czecho-Slovakia likewise is being prepared
for fascism the attacks on the Communist
Party and the mass organization of the work
ers show.
With their fascist kindred in Bavaria aiding
them, the Austrian fascists and social demo-
Gratis know that corridor will have been es-
tablished opening the way from the English
Channel to the Black Sea---for invasion of the
Soviet Union.
The defeat of fascsm in Austria will be
victory for the working class Of tina whole
