League VIII
GUe Benefit
ShOz0 in May

ONE thing is certain. When the
~ Indianapolis Junior League de-
cides to have an affair, it really
puts it on. It is different, unusual.
and decidedly worth while. Each
wear the members stage a grand al
fair for the benefit of their charity
work, the occupational therapy de-
partments at Riley and Long hos
pitfalls.
This year an innovation in enter
tainment will swell the Golfers of
the Junior League. A Junior League
show, or if you win, Junior Leg
show, as Irwin Cobb so quantity puts
it, will be given at the Murat the
alter May 2, 8 and 4.
The committees have been chosen
and league members are all agog,
lust waiting for the New York
producer TO come out to pick the
cast. Blocks of tickets and boxes
have already gone on sale. The sale
Of other tickets will open April J..
In supporting the enterprises OF
the Junior league, Indianapolis
helps a great humanitarian work.
The indianapolis Junior league, at
a cost of $4,000 annually, equipS and
maintains occupational therapy de-
partments at two hospitals.
Children at Riley hospital, who
require the therapeutic type of
treatment, are able to have it, and
adults at Long hospital can avail
themselves of the opportunity. Oc-
cupational theraphy fills an unique
place in curative work. The league
employs three professional workers
in the departments at the two hos
pitfalls.

rousing meeting under the auspices
of the Workers (Communist) Party
and the Young Workers League,
about $50 Negro and White workers
passed resolution demanding that
Safety Director Barry and the
Negro councilman, Tom Fleming, be
removed from their office.
Barry, after raid on night club
recently declared that he would not
tolerate the mingling of White and
Negro girls which was deeply re-
sented fy the workers Of the city.
Fleming who is supposed to be the
representative of the Negroes of

to help the Negro workers of this
city against Jim-Crowism, segrega-
ton and discrimination
The resolution ends: Resolved
that this meeting declares that only

lished as in the Soviet Union, will
the workers get their full rights re-

COMMUNITY FUND
NO AID TO EIGHT
HUNGRY CHILDREN

(By Worker Correspondent
MILWAUKEE, Wis, (By MALL
Here is ore CT the reasons workers
here call the loudly advertised Mil
waukee Community Fund a fake. A
family of eight has been found
starving on the county line. This
Community Fund, supposedly all to
be used for the support of the poor,
takes about 100000 a year away
from the workers of Milwaukee.
Employed workers are politely
forced to contribute to it, by their
bosses, who usually get their firm
nsme in the papers as the result of
big donation from their shop. The
workers aren't mentioned.
7 do not know of a case where a
really INDECENT family has been re-
lieved by the Community Fund. This
family, whose condition is so bad
that it has excited local sob sisters"
and broken into publicity, is that Of
Fred Zeigler, his wife and eight
children. The father was unem-
ployed until he got job few days
age at West Allis. The family have
been living on sack of potatoes and
a can of salt for days. They have
shack, 20 by 10 feet, with a stove
burned thru Sc that it gives little
heat. For this they pay $40
month. Only one of the children
has clothes enough to go to school.

IHuiswoud VIII Teach
Negro Problems Class
at the Workers School

The most important new feature
introduced into the curriculum of
the Workers School for the coming
Spring Term is the special course
in History and Problems of the
American Negro" to be given on
Fridays at $3.50 p. m. with Otto
Hniswood, as the instructor.
This is the first time that course
dealing with this important question
has ever been given. The offering
of this course has as its aim to call
to the attention of the militant
workers of this city the Importance
of the Negro question for the work
ing class movement and the policies
that must be followed to win the
Negro workers for the working
class movement, and also to help
develop a strong movement tmong
the Negro workers for racial eman-
cipation.
Otto Huiswood, head of the Ma
tional Negro Department of the
Workers (Communist) Party of
America, who has lectured thruout
the country on the problem of the
American Negro, has made special
study of this question.

TEST ABILITY OF

Stick to Servitude
(Bu q Worker C0yrespondent)

MILWAUKEE (By MaiD Wis
consin machinist apprentices are
forced ito keep all trade and bust
ness secrets from their fellow
workmen, under a special contract
attached to the regular apprentice
contract. 1t reads, "and it is fur
ther agreed that the second party
shall in all respects conform to and
obey the rules for the government
Of the employees, whether heretofore
CT hereinafter adopted, and that all
apprentices Sha!! keep all trada and
business secrets from his fellow
workmcn."
The regular contract reads That
the apprentice must slave IS hours
week and on top of this the boss
is allowed to impose 20 more "~nrs
of overtime a month if he wishes.
Testing His Slavery Capacity. q.
Before the apprentice is sS3epted
he gets three months tryout, so
the manager can see if he can stand
the strain of 10 OF more hours a
day slavery, with the speed de-
manded of him. During these three
months the apprentice is allowed to
attend full day each week of
school, but the exploiting boss does
not have tc pay for this day, until
the contract is signed, and when it
is signed, the apprentices school
hours are cut to four hours week.
In most shops the apprentice don't
even as much as begin to learn the
machinist trade, because he is kept
on automatic high speed productive
machines where no skill is required
to operate them.
35 Cents Hr. After Years.
Their wages are very low, start
ing with 18 cents an hour and at
the end of four years 35 cents.
1t seems that the Wisconsin In
dustrial Commission affiliates with
the big bosses, judging by the letter
it sends to the apprentice, which
reads something like this:
"Since you could not continue in
school, entering apprenticeship is
the most foresighted move you could
make. There may be times when
things will seem not to go as
smoothly as you like. Because of
this you may be tempted to give up

Workers Assail Lynch
Law Governor

CLEVELAND, O., (By Mail). =
A mass meeting held under the aus
League of this city has adopted
resolution condemning the lynch
ings in the South and demanding
the impeachment of Governor Bilbo,
for refusal even to investigate the
cases.
Among the speakers were DR.. E..
J. Gregg, member of the City Coun-
Gil, and Chas. White. Both Of these
Negro speakers openly condemned
the actions of the bowling mob in
the South, and declared that lynch-
ing of the spirit" is taking place in
the North, and the Negro workers
and the progressive white workers
must get together to put and end to
it.
Capitalist Parties Corrupt.
Nell Amter, speaking for the
Young Workers (Communist)
League, and I. o. Ford for the
Workers (Communist) Party, raised
the issue of the Negro councilman of
this city, who has been indicted for
receiving bride in getting claim
of an injured policeman settled.
They declared that Mr.. Fleming, the
man involved, is part of the corrupt
republican machine, and that the
workers can expect nothing as long
as they follow either of the capt.
talist parties.
Sadie Van Veen, of the Women
Workers Progressive League, took
up the cases of the lynchings in de-
tail, and showed that such attacks
are only part and parcel Of the CAPT.

darity of the white and colored
working class in the fight for full

The story is of a provincial gov

one of the czar's high officials (Mey-
erhold) to be firm with labor
troubles in his province. He is will
ling, but is somewhat soft, and love
for his little daughter and especially
for her governess (Stenn) cause him
much uneasiness of conscience.
When a provoeateur (Chuvelev)
