have issued May Day outline for discussion

will make broad distribution of leaflets and

places, and particularly in and around the
mines. We are preparing to put out three
mine bulletins Immediately. We will post the
May Day leaflets and placards around the
mines and on the highways. and we will stem

us that failure to carry out these "smalP'

demonstrations.
The conditions in the mines are so unbear-

the city police chiefs and city authorities as
being part of their drive of terror against
the Negroes of this city who are responding
to the call of the Communist Party and the
Revolutionary Trade Union Unity League. The
Negro district of the city is patrolled by the
police day and night. White workers are for
hidden to enter into Negro districts at certain
hours of the night. Mass arrests raids, club
bling of Negroes, is daily occurrence in New
ark. The police and city authorities are open
ly melting to lynching of Negroes, and "'reds"
who are organizing the Negroes and leading
them to emancipation
Not the terror of the police or the hired
thugs of the boss class can stop the growing
discomfort and revolt of the Negro and white
workers.
The more keen the wave of reaction and
terror has shown itself in Newark and New
Jersey, the greater the response of the work
ers has been in the struggle for their exis-
tence and emancipation.
Negro, white, yellow workers, workers of all
races and nationalities, are joining the revo-
lutionary movement of the workers, holding
aloft the red banner of freedom marching
forward for the abolition of this capitalist
system of society and for the establishment of
Workers Republic.
The International Labor Defense-the shield
organization of the workers-has defended all
the arrested workers in New Jersey, and is
defending the ten workers and workarS, Iood-
ers of Newark who are facing long Jail terms.

The Working Class Educational
Conference
By GRACE MAUI.

THE Provisional Committee appointed to ar
range the program for the Working Glass
Educational Conference which will be held at
the Workers School, 1928 Unitn Square, on
Saturday afternoon, April 10, at p. M, an
nounces the following agenda:
l. report on Working Class Education
which will cover the following points: (a)
A survey of Working Class Education and
Propaganda in New York City, (b) A dis
cussion of the nature of Working Class
Education (c) The Next Steps in Working
Glass Education. 2. A representative of
the Provisional Committee will make a re-
port. 8. Report by representative of the
Trade Union Unity League on the tasks of
working class Education in the Trade
Unions
Following these reports there will be oppor-
tunity for discussion in which all the dele
gates will participate.
The plans of the Provisional Committee in
clude the establishment of permanent body
which will aid the various organizations in
the carrying on of their educational and pro-
paganda work.
One of the most important tasks of the con-
ference will be the consideration of the whole
problem of working class education in rela-
ton to bourgeois education. There is mis-
conception prevalent in the minds of many
people that the function of working class edu-
cation is to provide educational opportunity
for workers who because of economic neces-
sity have been forced to leave the public
schools and thus have not received the edu-
cation provided by the bourgeois state This
is not the role of working class education. It
must do something more than fill the gap of
missing bourgeois education. It must teach
the workers the class nature of society, and
prepare them for participation in the class
struggle. 1t must train working class leaders
and functionaries for working class organ
zations and leadership. 1t must give them q
knowledge of social forces and an understand
ing of the place of the workers in the great
labor struggles of the day and Of struggles
facing them in the future. Able, trained,
militant leaders are needed in the revolutis0-
airy labor movement. These must be trained
in working class educational institutions.
This whole question of working class edu-
cation will be discussed at the Conference
which has been called by the Trade Union
Unity League and the Workers School for
Saturday afternoon, April 10th. All working
class organizations should send their dele
gates to participate in this discussion.

FORD LOSES ACTION IN SOUTH SUDBURY
Court Finds Dammin8 Of Stream
 Was Unreasonable"

Cambridge. Mass, July (UP)-A finding against Henry Ford, his wife, and Earl J. Boyer, superintendent of the motor car manufacturers Way side Inn property in South Sudbury, has been reported by Attorney Arthur P. Hardy of Boston, who sat as master in suit for damages brought by Joseph l.. sturtevant, whose South Sudbury estate is sur rounded by that of the Fords
 Sturtevant complained that the Fords injured his property by erect ing dams which greatly reduced the flow of a brook which courses through 1t.
 Hardy found that the damming of Carding Mill pond by the Fords was unreasonable" Approximately 194,- 900 gallons of water was lost from the 42-acre pond through evapora : tion daily while it was damned, and this greatly diminished the amount of water flowing through the Sturte- want estate, the master reported. He thought that Sturtevant should be given S10,000 damages.
 Attorneys for the automobile manufacturer claimed that the dams were erected to provide water power for a grist mill connected with Ford's trade school for boys in South Sudbury.
 The suit now goes to MiddleseX county superior court for final ac- ton.

H|GH-POWER RADIO STATION PROPOSED
Construction by WABC Would Give This Zone Full Quota
By GEORGE H. MANNING

Washington Bureau, N. B. Herald)
 Washington, D, C., July 31-When radio station WABC of New York orects its proposed new 5O.o00-watt transmitter, the first radio zone, which includes Connecticut, will have in operation it's full quota of those high powered broadcasting plants.
 The commission has already grant, ed the Columbia Broadcasting sys- tenn, of which WABC is the key sta tion, a construction permit to set up the transmitter. but thus far the op- orators have experienced some diff culty in selecting location. Some time iago the radio commits sion issued an order limiting the number Of 50.O00 watt stations to 20 for the whole United States, with the explanation that, in the opinion of radio engineers, stations of that size with their tremendous power blanket" the weaker stations oper- ating on neighboring channels
 Since the country is divided into five rado zones this order limited the number of 50,00O watt stations in each zone 10 four. In the first zoGe there are already three in operation. They are WGY at Schenectady, N. Y, the General Electric company'5 pioneer station; WEAF, at Bellmore, N. Y, the key station Of the Ma tional network; and WTIC. at Hart ford operated by the Travellers Broadcs sting service.
 The 5O.0o0 watt channels are very rare.

 In addition to the problem of CO., operation, Doran said. the super yisors were ready to tackle the gen oral question Of improving the ad- ministration Of the industrial alco- hol laws and also questions of per sonnel and budget.
