Winchester Arms Co.
RObs Workers Pay for
Boss "Charity" Scheme
(By d Worker CoyresDo7do,,t

(BY q Worker Correspondent
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (By MaiD .
Great misery exists for the work
ers in this city. We have in this city
a system known as the Community
Chest" The Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts.
Campfire Girls, Daughters of Isa-
bella and other worthless groups
come in for large sums Of money
from it, which the workers are asked
to give"
Now just imagine that in a city
where the streets are lined every
day with thousands of unemployed
workers.
The Winchester Arms Co., up I'M
til this year, used to take one days
pay from every worker, but gave up
that idea and hit on new scheme.
In the past the worker that was
receiving SO week had to "contri-
butte" $1,75 a year for the win
chester Employees Fund" the Win
chester bosses scheme that makes
the workers contribute to the Com
nunity Fund, and so have their mo-
ney go to anti-labor organizations.
Under the new scheme the worker
getting $40 week now has to fork
over 1912 a year out of his $40 q
week. When the Community Fund
started their drive for S624.811
which was held from November 4
until November 10, the Winchester
Company had the money all collect
ed from the new system, which con-
sisted of assessing the workers paw
every week.
The most disgusting part of the
whole affair is that when the Win
chester Company dumped the money
into the Community Chest which
had been stolen from the workers,
the company was applauded by the
capitalist press.
Just think, fellow workers, a man
struggling along on $40 a week, and
being robbed that way, and the com
pany is praised for it.
tNow fellow workers, that is the
way the capitalist system exploits
us and robs us. Away with it!

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 28.-
Palestine reports show that the

Demonstrations are taking place

who often are backed by troops.
Wherever crowds gather, police or
soldiery try to break them up and
there are reports of firing by police

thing by itself but also finds ex-
preston in other forms, resistance
to the Interference" of the Ma
tional Board of the T.U.U.L. in the
work of the union, for example, the
open resistance of some members of
the National Council of the Mt.
WI. to the leadership of the
| TU.U.L.
This organizational looseness is a
breeding ground for the right wing
element in their struggle against
the program of the T.U.U.L. and
constitutes within our ranks a me-
nacing expression of the right dam
ger. It is no accident that Ellen
Dawson can write in the "Revo-
lutionary Age" and find support
true only one supporter-within the
National Council of the N.TI.U.
This example Of course is an ex-
IRENE one, but resistance, whether
it be passive or active, to the build
ing of a closely knit revolutionary
center, that has the fullest informa-
ton of all activities of all its sec
tions, is evidence of opportunism.
T. U. U. L. is Leader of Struggle.
Another extreme example will
suffice to show the absolute need
of overcoming the present crgan-
national chaos in order to combat
the right danger. In Boston we
have a local OF the Needle Trades
Industrial Union with a member
ship of approximately 1000. There
we find a resistance to bringing for
ward the T. U. U. L. as the leader
of the class struggle in the U. S. A.
This expressed itself first organ
nationally. They had no room in
their building for offices for the To-
cal T. U. U. L., they were afraid
that the T. U. U. L. might not pay
their rent, finally when pressed
some of the leaders admitted that
they thought that the membership
were not yet ready to accept the
7, U. U. L., so the cat came out
OF the bag of organizatlonal cnaos.
1t is not the rank and file that is
not ready for the leadership Of the
T. U. U. L., it is those leading com
rades who use this as an excuse
that are resisting a close scrutiny
and direction by the T. U. U. l.. OF
their work.
1t is true that the N. o. of the
7. U. U. L. is not immune from
criticism for this poor organiza-
tional relationship, both before the
Cleveland convention and since. The
structure of the T. u. U. L., the
organizationally close relationship
between the national organization
and its sections was not made clear
at the convention and very little
has been done by us in the N. o.
to clarity the situation since the
convention. Both the constitution
and the financial system adopted at
the convention, while correct in a
general way, has to be made more
specific and simplified.
Temporary and Permanent Forms.
1t is not yet clear to the various
sections of the league in their re-
lationship to the national I. U. U.
l.. what are temporary forms and
what the permanent forms Of or
ganization. This confusion devel-
ops wrong emphasis which has
the effect OF distorting the policy.
In some instances where an indus
trial union has been organized,
permanent form Of organization for
class struggle, we find slogans that
are the slogans Of minorities. Again
in local general leagues We also
find them acting as minority

Adopted Child's
Claim in Sl,OOO,OOO
Will Is Held Void
Justice Bailey Decides in
Favor of Three Heirs of
Pierce Shoemaker.

A devise to descendants" of tes-
tator cannot be held to include an
adopted child, according to a decision
of Justice Jennings Bailey OF the Dis
trict Supreme Court. The courts opir-
ion cuts out claim of Louis Glover, II
years old, now residing with his grand
mother in California, to one-fourth
interest in the estate of Pierce Shoe
maker, who once owned large portion
of what is now Rock Creek Park. The
Shoemaker estate is said to be worth
about 81 100000.
II the courts decision is sustained
the estate will be distributed among the
;hree surviving heirs of Pierce Shoemak-
err, who are Mrs. Clara A. Newman.
Francis D. Shoemaker and Mrs. Abigail
Newman. The fourth interest would
have gone to Abner Shoemaker. son of
Louis P. Shoemaker, deceased, who had
been a son of Pierce Shoemaker. Abner
Shoemaker died leaving only an adopted
son, Louis Glover.
The will also was attacked on a plea
Of violation of the rule against ger
petuities, but Justice Bailey overruled
that contention and sustained the will.

Discusses Plans With Flyers.
Last night a group of flyers stood
about the commander for two hours
while they talked over various aspects
of the trip. Should a certain thing be
done this way or that? What would be
the best method consistent with accom-
plshing the purposes of the flight?
Question after question came up, and
there are many of these conferences,
formal and informal, at which the
pilots, all of them experienced in many
kinds of flying, give their opinions.
But it is Comdr. Byrd who must de-
eide: upon him rests the responsibility
of selecting the plan which promises
to give the maximum results with the
greatest safety.
There has probably never been a
flight just like this one projected to
the South Pole. The take-of load is the
limiting factor in most long distance
flights, but this flight is limited by the
weight which can be taken over the
mountains at an altitude Of at least
$4,000 feet
This means that the take-off load
will be much less than the capacity of
the plane. since in midflight will be en-
countered a hurdle which will force the
plane up so high that the load must be
carefully calculated to enable the nee
esSary altitude to be attained and at
the same time provide a margin OF
safety which will enable Comdr Byrd
to regain his base. If the flight could
be made at sea level or at reasonable
altitude of a few thousand feet it would
be much more simple.
Extreme Altitude Necessary.
Not only must this hurdle be crossed
but, once over it. the plane must con-
tinue at an altitude of 10000 feet over
the 10,000-foot plateau. and maintain
this altitude without slipping for TOO
miles, the distance to the Pole from the
mountains and back again.
At the same time these matters are
occupying his attention, the commander
landing of the ships next year and the
best way of bringing them through the
ice pack safely and soon enough SO that
certain amount of loading may be
done before the approach of Winter
again makes departure necessary. Large
airplanes cannot be loaded and secured
quickly. and there viii not be too much
time between the arrival of the ships
and the bad weather which makes
lowering off this icy coast extremely
risky.
So it can be seen that there are many
things for leader to think about these
days. and Comdr Byrd spends long
hours in front of his table calculating
again. The price of success in the polar
regions is forethought and preparation.

WOMAN IS ACCUSED
OF "FLEEc|NG' MAN.
Capital Police Unlikely to
Yield Pair, Though One Is
Wanted in Texas.

Shortly after Texas authorities wired
request to hold him In connection
with a robbery at Abilene, Fred Dun
ming, 80, of Kansas City, Mo-, who,
with his 22-year-old wife, was arrested
here early yesterday for a local rob-
berry, learned that a second man here
had taken out a warrant for his wife,
Jean, charging she neeced him of 500.
The additional charge, specifying
grand larceny, was booked against the
woman this afternoon after George P.
Richards, hotel guest, told police she
made off with his pocketbook.
The pair were picked up at Union
Station by Headquarters Detective e
E. Thompson. on description, shortly
after they had bought tickets for Rich
mond, Va. The complainant in this
case was Percy r. Dudley, a travelling
salesman of Philadelphia. who said the
woman took his watch and wallet
The woman had the watch and the
man had the money when arrested, De-
tective Thompson said.
Police believe the two have been OPP
Grating extensively over the United
States.
The Texas authorities did not specify
the charges there, and it is probable
that local police will decline to surren-
der Dunning.
