'LOvESTONE GANG

into. This fact proves cQnclusively
that the job was done by Loysstone
supporters who knew where all the
records were kept. The fact that
other cabinets containing litera.
ture, leaflets, etc, were not touched
proves again that only Lovestone
supporters could have committed
this act.
The entrance to the headquarters
was gained by jimmying the door.
Among various records taken
were: Section industrial registra-
ton, election campaign material
with signatures recently collected,
financial books and ledgers of the
section, minutes, ETC., etc.
Lovestone answered the statement
of the Central Committee on the
National Office burglary with an
abusive denial. But this is merely
an attempt to deceive the workers
and even hi owsn followers. Con-
tents Of documents stolen from the
National Office are already being
circulated among the Lovestone
splitters, thus placing the guilt fol-
the burglary irrefutably upon Love
stone and his group. s,
In his caucuses, Lovestone has not
the courage to admit the robbery
He feels that in case of admission
he will disillusion his few proleta'
rian followers. Indirectly, however
in speech in his caucus on Wednes'
day at West 23rd St., he tried tc
prepare political justification of his
burglary by enunciating the theory
of admissibility in principle" of ex'
preparation.
To make this theory plausible, he
makes an attempt to exempt the
Party offices from the permissible
objects of his appropriation. But
at the same time, he declared en-
phatically that appropriation" from
the homes of responsible leading
comrades is permissible. B
whether Party documents are stoler
from Party offices by means of riff
ling the desks or whether they are
taken from brief cases of Part!
leaders by means of breaking into
their homes, in each case the theft
can only be committed by an enemy
of the Party, by an enemy of the
working class.
Lovestone's continued themt o.

to split the Party. The Party viii

DUBLIN, Aug. 30.-Organized to

Irish Labor Defense League will be
to develop a strong protest move
ment against government repression

Of the League, which is a section Of
the international Labor Defense or
ganization, declares.
Terror in Dublin.
"Over 120 workers in Dublin have
been arrested over 20 times in the
last three MONTHS" the statement
continues. Prisoners who were re-
leased from the Bridewell Prison in
Dublin have been taken into motor
cars at the gaol gate, brought to
lonely roads, and beaten with the
butts of revolvers. These arrests
still continue in Dublin and many
parts of ireland although they have
heen declared illegal by a Free
State judge. They are condoned
and encouraged by Minister Of JUS
tice Fitzgerald-Kenny."
Known anti-imperialists have been
waylaid, beaten with iron bars and
tortured with red hot pins in West
Clare, where police agents are con-
centrating the terror, the League
charges.

farmer who as a Republican army
officer fought against British i'm

Ryan was recently seized from
his bed at night, dragged into the
yard and kicked mercilessly. The
attack continued without intermis-
sion till 1 p. m. next day till he was
raw from the marks of the heavy

later Ryan was able to sit beside
his bed, although doctor must re-

The program Of the R, /. L: u. can

League (the name proposed by the
T. U. f. l.. for the new trade union

tion) develops specific programs 10

each respective industry. .-.
Unemployment, one of the great
scourges of capitalism, greatly &C
centuated by decentralization, is g
growing and menacihg evil; it will
increase with the. deepening crisis
of capitalism. In the coal. mining
districts it has reached the point
where many thousands of workers
are in semi-starvstion. The T. U. U.
L. makes an energetic struggle
against unemployment. 1t demands
the shorter work-day and work
week, with compelling the State to
maintain the unemployed, equal di-
vision of work, rull crews in the
rationalized processes, etc. The t.
U. U. L. exposes such fake unem-
ployment programs as that of
Hoover. which while pretending to
relieve unemployment by regulating
building operations. is in reality only
an insidious form of the general
union wrecking speed-up program of
the capitalist class. The T. U. T. L.
organizes the unemployed. 1t con-
meets up the organizations and
struggles of the unemployed work
ers with those of the unemployed. 1t
exposes the treachery of the social
reformists towards the whole ques-
ton of unemployment, which is es-
sentially that Of the bosses.
Social Insurance.
The T. U. U. L. fights militantly
for the establishment of a system
of social legislation in the United
States as one phase of its general
struggle against capitalist ration
alization. 1t demands legislation to
provide for the shortening of the
work period, sanitation, and safety
in industry, the elimination of child
labor, unhealthy work for women,
etc. 1t demands also State insur-
ance against unemployment, sick
ness, accidents, old age, ETC., this
social insurance to be paid for en-
tirely by the employers and built
upon the principle of complete self
management by the insured without
any participation by the capitalists,
or by the State in the management
of the insurance fund.

 Meeting for Thursday Night
 WOULD SELL OLD SCHOOL
No Longer Use Blue Hills Building Health Officer, Outside Poor Ac- counts Need Extra Sums-School Facilities to be Taxed in Fall.

The board of selectmen today called a special town meeting to be held at s o'clock Thursday night at the town hall to vote additional ap- propriations for the health o.hcer and the outside poor account and to authorize the sale of the old Blue Hills school building.
 At the annual town meeting last October the amount of SS5O was ap- propriated for the health officers eX- penses. At present he has sent in to the town bills, for S265.76 above that sum. This expense is the result of additional work done by him, and 1t the town meeting next Thursday he matter will be put before the voters for action.
 Bills for $500 above the amount that was voted have been sent the town for the care of the outside poor. In October $4500 was appro- priated to take care of this account. Last year the amount spent to care for the outside poor was S4,l49.9o and the total this year will be ST. OOO There is no special account that has caused the additional cost to be added to the town bill but general conditions in the town have been responsible for the necessity of ap propriating the additional s2,50o.
 The matter of the sale of the old Blue Hills school house and lot will ba a1Sn This nrnnPrty has not been used since the budding of a new school in that section Of the town q few years ago. The old building is of wooden construction and of the old type of country school. There is but one room in 1t. and it was here that eight classes were taught for many years by one teacher. Running water and electric lights were never installed in the building and the lot upon which 1t stands is low, water forming swamp in the rear of the building each spring and fall. Some years ago new building was erected near the old one, and the present school is one of the most attractive in the town. This building is of brick with electric lights, water and an ade- quate heating system. There are two rooms in the building and the lay out of the school is modern in every detail. The wish of the selectmen is to sell the old building as soon as possible and 10 avoid having to pay for the upkeep of the property, which has not been in use for the past three years.
