Wash. Supreme Court
Bars Organization
of School Teachers

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 1.-THE
State Supreme Court has declared
that the eSattle School Board has
the right to prevent teachers from
belonging to union. This is the
latest act in the fight between the
teachers and the Board since the
board put yellow Dog Clause" in
the teachers contract and started
to suppress the union in the Spring
of 1928.
The teachers, especially those in the
high schools, put up fight for the
right to organize, but the School
Board threatened to dismiss any
teacher who belonged to the union.
They claimed that though the union
was affiliated with the A. F. of L. it
was un-American mad radical and
would interfere with the conduct of
the schools by themselves, the rep
resentatives of the people,
This decision is in line with the
policy of the Supreme Court to fight
every effort toward organization of

CHINA RED ARMY
SWEEPS AHEAD
Capture All Important
Towns in Industrial
Provinces

NEW YORK.-Dec. 12.--All the
most important places along the bor-
der of Kwantung and Kiangsi Pro-
vinces are reported to have been
captured by Chinese Red Army of
10000, according to an Associated
Press despatch from Canton yester-
day. -Four regiments of Chang Kali
shek's troops were rushed off to
Shiuchow last Thursday in desper-
e effort to stem the advance of the
Red Army.
The great unreliability and insta-
bility of the Marking Government
troops whenever they come in con-
tact with the Red forces was further
revealed by the same A. P. despatch
which states:
Twenty officers and men
of three other Cantonese regiments
stationed at Shiuchow were re-
ported executed by provincial au-
th0rities in consequence of their
regiments yielding to Communist
bribery. Four civilians were exc
cuted."
Meanwhile Chang Kai shek's
hangmen are continuing to execute
workers suspected of being Commu-
nists. In Hankow, five have been
executed on the pretext that they
we're plotting to assassinate Chang
Kai-shek on his arrival in that city.

PLANE WORKERS
FIGHT WAGE CUT
Refuse to Follow Scab
ALL. Policy

PATERSON, N. j., Dec. 12-SiX
hundred workers struck Wednesday
against the group system" which the
bosses of the Wright Airplane Co.
tried to put into effect. The group
system" is a method of forcing a
group of workers to get out a set
amount of work under speed-up, and
if this is not done they are docked.
In practice it amounts to a 80 per
cent wage cut.
Not long ago all workers in the
Wright plant were given a 10 per
cent wage cut.
When the workers went out on
strike, Connolly, general organizer of
the Int1. Association of Machinists,
an A. F. of L. local, tried to get the
workers to go back, promising them
he would "talk to the boss" He urged
them, if they went out-as the work
ers insisted on striking-not to pick
ct, but to merely go out on pro
test"
The next day. Thursday, the Metal
Workers Industrial League, of the
Trade Union Unity League, issued a
leaflet to the strikers, urging them to
carry on mass picketing, go elect a
rank and file strike committee to
cary on militant strike and to de-
mand not only the revelation of the
group system" but the previous 10
per cent wage-cut as well.
Friday the 600 strikers met and
elected a strike committee, carrying
out mass picketing and generally fol-
lowing the line Of the Metal Work.
ers' Industrial League. They refused
to obey the scah orders of Connolley.
At meeting of the strikers held
Friday the strikers took up the ques-
tons put to them by the Metal Work
ers' Industrial League and adopted
this method of real struggle against
the wage-cut. Another leaflet was
issued by the M. w. I. L., showing
up the role of Connolly, who is con-
stantly meeting. with the bosses in
an effort to wreck the strike. The
leaflet was enthusiastically received
by the strikers.

This is just one of a whole series
of wage-slashes that are being hand
ed the workers still left on the job
as Christmas gifts" by the bosses.
With the huge wave of wage cuts
descending on the workers, not
single shop in the country will be
left untouched. Only by organization
and striking can the workers resist
wage cuts. One wage cut does not
mean the end. 1t is now the policy
of the bosses to hand out 10 per
months follow it up with another.
The process can be stopped only by
the militant action of the workers.

The capitalist press has deliberately

going over the books, and all sorts
of promises are being made, but they
are on a par with the promise of the
vice-president of the bank that the
doors would be open on Thursday.
This turned out to be a lie. Z.
The seriousness of the crash can
be realized when it is known that
for weeks the leading bankers of New

their efforts were futile. The bank

Last Sunday, an uncalled-for attack

on the losing team drove his spikes into

Dodgers, whose moundsmen
have played important parts in keeping
them at the head of the National
League, produced the seasons best ex-
ample of what q pitcher can do yes
terday when Watson Clark pitched a
one-hit game against the Pittsburgh
Pirates to gain a 5-to-0 victory.
His performance missed perfection by
slim margin. Pie Traynor touched
him for a single in the second inning
and promptly was thrown out attempt

fore this year has team failed to

troit to single blow In q f1ve-inning

Phillies Offer Contrast.
In contrast to Brooklyn there are the
Phill1es, the leading hitting club of the
National League, who are clear down at
the bottom OF the standing because
their rivals hit just as hard against
them. The Phillies were on the short
end OF 7-to-6 game against the st.
Louis Cardinals yesterday to take their
twentieth beating in their last IS games.
They used three hurlers ineffectively,
while Burleigh Grimes went the route
for the Cards. Chicago and Boston

lasted three Brave pitchers, although
each team made nine hits
Cincinnati and New York didn't give
the throwers chance in their smuggling
match, which went to the Reds by a
14-to-6 count. The winners made is
hits OF four pitchers, while Larry Ben
ton finally had to rescue Ray Kolp as
the Giants started hitting home runs
late in the game.
The pitching contest in the American
League comes principally from Wash
ington and st. Louis. The Senators
have won fame as well as high place
through the ability of their hurlers to
last the full distance. They have suf-
fered a bit since starting West, losing q
series to Detroit, but Fred Marberry got
them back into their stride yesterday,
holding the Tigers to hits to win,

Browns Have Trouble.
The st. Louis Browns, weak both in
hitting and pitching, have a record al
most as bad as that of the Phillies, all
though they are keeping out of the
league cellar by q few points. The Ath.
letics made it 20 defeats in ~ games
for them as Walberg and Rommel
bested Blaeholder and Stiles, IL to 6, in
an odd game.
Walbsrg did not yield hit, but Wild
ness drove him out In the third inning,
and Rommel continued the hitless per-
Torrance until the ninth inning, when
the Browns made all of their four blows.
Herb Pennock of New York continued
his hurting record yesterday to lead the
Yankees to 9-to-5 victory over the
Chicago White Sox. He gave IA hits,
but no walks, making 1t IA games and
1924 innings this season with only six
passes. The humble Boston Red Sox
did some real hitting in the remaining
game, making Is blows for a 13-to-4
decision over Cleveland.
