The shops are the Septurn, 33

The companies action follows re-

Charles w. Wood, commissioner of

shoe companies having agreements
with the Independent Union to break

that the union is Communist" con-
trolled by Fred Biedenkapp and
"other Communist" who are Gene

The IS 5men of the Septurn shop
walked out 100 per cent when the
company, giving no ''easons, arbi-
trarily di-:.arged a worker and re-
fused the unions demand for his re-
instatement.
The Elbee workers struck in pro-
test against the employment of a
non-union girl.

Semi-official editorial comment in

Trajectory statements were made by
Hoover and Macdonald regarding

been going on behind the scenes.

ALL. DELEGATES
RUN FROM FOSTER
in TORONTO MEET
Carpenters Seced e
From Building Trades

! TORONTO, Canada, Oct. o.
With all preparations finished by
the rade Union Unity League and
the Trade Union Educational Lea
que of Canada for a great mass
meeting tonight, with local Cana
dian labor militants and William z.
Foster, general secretary of the T.
/ U. U. L. as speakers, it became
known here yesterday that the A. F.
L. Convention is going to ADJOURN
for one day and run away to Nj
agara Falls.
The Toronto workers will still be
here, however, and will listen to
Foster and the other speakers tear
into the A. F. L. official policies of
class collaboration and war monger-
ing.
Boast OF Cruisers.
Yesterdays convention of the A.
F. L. was characteristic. Jurisdic-
tional quarrels seethed belyow the
surface, and broke through in sew
eral cases. President Hutcheson, of
the Carpenters union, the strongest
in the building trades, found out in
the departmental convention that he
couldn't become president of the de-
partment, to succeed McSorley, who
resigned recently, and split his
union away from the department.
The nominal reason given is a
dispute over whether the per capita
in 1.-THE department should be half a
cent a member or three quarters.
Carpenters Secede.
Dan Tobin, Of the Transfers,
warned the convention that Green's
fulsome praise of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen, whose presi-
dert Albert Whitney yesterday made
a speech announcing that the union
would vote on dining the A. F. L.,
didn't mean much. He reminded
the convention that during the war,
Warren F. Stone, grand chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, also applIed-and nothing
came of it because of the jurisdic-
tional question.
| Stone was very busy at that time
and later running a S90,000,000
real estate graft and scab mine
proposition with the engineers
money, and let the matter drop. 1t
has never been re-opened, though
Green tried to insinuate in his speech
that 100000 in the Railway Broth
erhoods are about to join u.s."
A scheme to amalgamate the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
with the United Garment Workers
also fell through, apparently.
The Brookwood partisans got lit
tie encouragement. "Brookwood is
not regarded as part of our labor
movement" was the edict of the
federation officials.

"THE WEAVERS" AT 55TH
ST. is PLAY OF TEXTILE
REVOLT.

You can see Hauptmann's "Weav-
ers" done into a movie, with real
care, with beautiful photography,
wiwth just enough of the impress
sionistic stuff to give point and en-
phasis, and with revolutionary fer
vor. 1t is the Friedrich Zelnik film,
produced in Germany, and playing
for the first time in America now
at the Fifty-fifth st. Theatre.
This is a play of the introduction
of the machine age in the German
fustian weaving industry. The hand
weavers are shown, starving and
breaking down as their wages rapid
ly sink under competition of the
machines. They are shown killing
their pets to eat them for food, and
wondering what they will do next.
The system of fines and deduc-
tons for poor work" is indicated.
The insolence of the manufacturer
Dreissiger paul Wegener) and his
underlings is shown. Woman labor
and child labor is shown.
The workers react in various
ways. Some cringe to the boss, and
brush his coat. Some are individual
rebels, like Baecker Theodore
Loos). Finally, there comes one of
these ''outside agitators," young
Jaeger, (Wilkelm Dieterle), just out
of the army, and we'll fed enough to
feel first of all an overpowering re-
sentiment.
Jaeger teaches the weavers a
strike song, about the Bloody
Dreissigers," gets them to stand to-
gether and fight. They go down
and chase Dreissiger out of his
house. Jaeger is arrested during
the attack-both church and state,
in the form of the preacher and the
police, unite to assist Dreissiger in
this job.
But the workers release Jaeger,
win, and wreck Dreissiger's joint.
Then they march on the factory
town to wreck the machinery, for it
is still the machine smashing age,
before labor learned that the ma
chimes have come to stay, and that
all you can do is to control and use
them.
A battle takes place in the fac
tory town with the troops, who are
winning until a woman leads a
flank attack of the working women
in town, and the troops are driven
away. This woman is Louise Hilse,
whose father-in-law is the real old
religious type of worker, won't raise
his hand in revolution because it is
against Gods law. But he looks out
of the window during the firing, and
gets g. bullet foc his scabbiHg.
Dagny Servaes plays Louise. and
Arthur Kraussneck, odd" Hilse.
1t is fine play, and well worth
seeing.-V. S.

IN THE SOVIET SCHOOLS.

Union.)

pioneer Delegate to the Soviet
Union.)
In Soviet Russia, we (the Amer
lean delegation) visited factories,
schools, etc. l am going to tell you
what we saw in a school in the u
S. S. R. There we visited the Mos
COW Experimental School.
Here we saw how the workers
children rule the school. We saw
all the work in the school while we
were there. The children in the
school learn carpentry, biographies,
they read many books, and they
learn the same subjects as every
where else.
We visited lower grade class
here. The kids have sanitation. They
keep their bodies, and their sur
roundings clean.
The children here get tea once
a day, and they get two meals in
the school. They only pay rou-
bles ($2) a month for these. If
their parents cannot afford this,
they pay less or they get it all free,
The children have self government
in the school. They can criticize
the teacher any time he doesn't dc
what the pupils ask him to do.
The pupils, together with the
teachers. have regular meetings.
and talk about the problems facing
the school, and decide what they
will do to solve them. This is real
self government, which the workers
children do not have in any other
country.

THE INTERNATIONAL PIONEER
CONGRESS.
By JESSIE TAFT.
pioneer Delegate to the Soviet
Union.)

pioneer Delegate to the Soviet
Union.)
The first International Congress
of proletarian children which took
place in Moscow in August, marks
the beginning of the strengthening
of the international solidarity of the
workers children all over the world.
Delegates from Europe, Asia and
America assembled to discuss the
problems confronting the workers
children of the world.
The question of fraternal interna-
tional contact between the workers
children of the bosses countries, and
the Soviet Union were discussed
and the experiences of the various
Pioneers were related.
At this time, the imperialists all
over the world are preparing for a
new world war. They want to at
tack the only workers and farmers
government, the Soviet Union.
For this attack on workers Rus
siay they are building such organiza-
tons as the Boy and Girl Scouts,
the Cadets, etc.
In view of this, the congress took
up the main problems of fighting
against the war danger, and for the
defense of the Soviet Union. The
Pioneers reported on their activities
in defending the Soviet Union from
all the bosses, its enemies.
The Pioneers in the U.S.S.R. are
helping the industrialization of the
country, so that the workers will
be able to defend themselves better
when the bosses attack them. They
learn the military art, so as to able
themselves to fight for the workers.

and was delighted to see an old
friend of mine, Ernest Quigley, UNI
piring behind the plate. Quigley is
an old st. Mary's college (Kansas)
coach, who for years had charge OF
football. basketball and baseball at
that institution. At present he con-
centrates on officiating, working
college football and basketball in
the fall and winter and umpiring
baseball in the National League in
the summer.
Having a few minutes chat with
Quigley after the game I asked him
if he didn't get fed up, sick and
tired" of umpiring. He said: do
you know, I like my work so well,
am so wrapped up in it that I don't
see how it is possible for me to get
tired of it."
His remark probably accounts for
Ouigley'S success in officiating.
