CHAIRMAN OF C. M. T. c.
ENROLMENT In KENT
[Cssti#Hed from first S&sel

Schantz, Kent county and all other
counties in New York, New Jersey
and Delaware will soon receive an
equitable allotment of the $500
camp vacancies which represent this
years quota for the Second Corps
Area. The local county quota will
be filled by the first qualified candi-
dates who apply, Mr.. Schantz said.
Outlining the aims and benefits of
the G. M. T. camps, Mr.. Schantz de-
clared that the military feature of
the training is by no means the out
standing factor. The chief purpose,
he said, is to develop the youth Of
the nation by bringing together
young men of high ideals from all
walks of life on common basis of
equality and under the most health
full conditions of outdoor life.

New York.-Native- born Americans
are more in need of charity than
newcomers from any other land, ac-
cording to the annual report of the
Charity Organization Society.
The largest single nationality aided
by the society last year was the ma
tive-born American, representing
more than 81 per cent of the entire
group. Italians were next with 2O.5
per cent
The report reveals more money was
spent last year for relief of families
in distress than ever before in the 46
years of the society's history. Some
of the increase is laid to unemploy-
ment last winter.

COOP. LIVING PLAN
NOW NOT UTOPIAN

New York.-When Edward Bel
lamy, American author, wrote "Look-
ing Backward" generation ago, the
public laughed at the Utopian
schemes. One of these included CEN
trail place for cooking meals for fam
lilies.
Bellamy's theory, however, is ac-
cepted by an educational committee
at Teachers College, Columbia Uni
versity, in their plan for family
apartments. Conveniences to be made
possible by cooperative living will
relieve housewives Of cooking by
means of central kitchen.
The committee will interest educa-
tional and civic organizations in the
project that the necessary finances is
assured to erect the building,
'It seems possible" said Professor
Benjamine r. Andrews, "to find prac-
ticable means for removing from the
family of moderate means the bur-
dens which are handicapping them in
their work and their home life. Serv-
ice, central preparation of food and
child care are already being provided
in many apartments for families of
larger income. The proposal is unique
in endeavoring to combine these and
possible other services and put them
within the reach of families with
smaller incomes"

Union Warns Hosiery Trade
Employment Of Labor Spies
Is Trouble-Making Policy

Philadelphia, Pa. Ct. L. N. So
"Any industry misguided enough to
allow professional labor spies to con-
troll or direct it's personal policies is
bound to create trouble for itself
sooner or later"
This statement is contained in a
declaration drawn up by the National
executive board of the American Fed
Grafton of Full Fashioned Hosiery
Workers and sepcially refers to the
recent announcement that A. r. Mac
Donald, specialist in installing "yel-
low dog contracts" had formed an
ASSOCIATION of full fashioned employ
ers to Combat communist tendencies"
in this industry.
The name given to this organiza-
ton is the "Allied Manufacturers
League, Inc" Associated with Mac
Donald in putting owe r this league is
C. E. Russell, who worked with Mac
Donald in various such enterprises in
Guiding the Sherman Detective
Agency-notorious for it's strike
breaking activities. Russell has also
been mixed up with the Eagle De-
tective Agency, one Of the shadiest
concerns of its kind in the country
engaged in union-busting activities.
Although combating communism"
is the window dressing for this scheme
it is generally understood that the
real purpose of the league is to sup
ply strikebreakers, and men to teach
green help" in time sef strike.
More than that, the league will under
take to have various manufacturers
fill orders for struck shop, as is
being done in the case of the Allen-A
lockout, and as was the case Of the

UNIFORMED THUGS
OF Coal Owners Are Again
in Limelight

Harrisburg, Pa.-Church groups,
especially in Pittsburgh, are support
ing organized labor's attempt to con-
troll the coal and iron police Of this
state.
The recent murder of John Beres-
kie, coal miner, by uniformed thugs
in the employ of the anti-union Pitts
burgh Coal Company, Mellon con-
Germ, has caused wide resentment.
Three drunken policement raided a
miners home. Bereskie was attract
ed by the violence and he was killed
while pleading with the gunmen not
to injure his brother-in-law.
Several bills have been introduced
in the state legislature. These in
clude abolition of the coal and iron
police. This plan is favored by the
coal and iron companies because they
could then secure the services of the
state police at the expense of tax
payers.
Trade unionists are inclined to ia.
vor continuance of the coal and iron
police, but to limit their activities tc
the premises of coal companies, rather
than permit them to roam at will anc
exercise functions of the regular law
enforcement arm.
The miners two-year strike has
been marked by terroristic tactics
that would shame Cossacks under the
czar's regime Governor Fisher
signed commissions for these thug:
on request of any sheriff who was con
trolled by the coal owners.

HOSIERY WORKERS
Celebrate First Year OF
Strike

Kenosha, Wis. (I. L. N. S.)-Four
hundred automobiles loaded with
trade unionists from various cities
in Wisconsin and from Chicago form
ed the impressive parade line here
which commemorated the first year of
lockout of the Kenosha Hosiery Work
ers by the Allen-A Company. Flags
and signs carried on all the cars call
ing attention to the long fight of the
hosiery workers pleased the specta
tors along the 16-mile line of march,
on February 16, and attracted wide
spread attention.
On this date year after the hard
fought Kenosha battle started 240 of
the original $50 locked-out workers
were present to celebrate the occasion
All of these young people squared
their shoulders and pulled up THEN
belts for the year ahead of them. TIC
the strikers the celebration was not
the end of things but the beginning
of new phase in this memorable
struggle for the right to organize.
At night between 1000 and 2,50C
persons attended the anniversary
dance of the locked-out workers. This
dance was marked by special feat
ure, show Of union made hosiery
modelled by 35 pretty locked-out girls
Enthusiasm ran high as the girl mod
els posed and displayed the latest de-
signs in union-made hose. The finale
showed the battered and ragged mod
ell who represented Allen-A.
An hour of broadcast over the local
station, WCLO, brought in hundreds
of requests from radio fans. Wei
wishers of the strikers and trade
unionists all over the country flooded
the strike committee with messages
of cheer and hopes of complete vic
tory.

PULLMAN PORTERS
With A. F. of L.; Living
Wages and Hours Urged

Miami, Ffa.-The A. F. of L. execu
tive council ruled that A. F. of L.
federal charters shall be issued to
Pullman porters. These workers are
thus given direct affiiiation to the
A. f. of l..
The porters are employed by
single company. They are the most
conspicuous example of the large
groups of workers in personal service
whose compensation in considerable
part comes from tips"
Their low wages and poor working
conditions developed solidarity and
they carried their case to the Pullman
Company and the Federal Railway
Mediation Board without success.
They voted to strike in June, last
year, but the walkout was deferred
on advice of President Green, who
suggested that more education and
agitation were necessary to acquaint
the public with the facts.
Porters' wages range from $72.50
to S104 month. This, with tips, :"
must support their families and also
pay for sustenance on the road. In
addition to actual road service, the
porter spends five hours preparing
his car and cleaning same before and
after the trip. He is not paid for this
work
Another complaint is that porter
who returns from his regular run may
be doubled out" (sent out on another
rum without rest period. For regu-
lar work 1900 miles constitutes a
basic months service. The porter
averages nearly 400 hours month.
On long runs, such as New York to
Key West, he is allowed six hours to
sleep out of SO hours. When porters
are hired they are not assigned regu-
lar runs, but must report for duty.
If they are not given employment
they receive no pay
