Attack Inter-Racial
Dance in Harlem

NEW YORK.-A dance at which
Negro and white workers were fra
ternizing together in defiance of the
bosses edict that they should hate
each other was broken up by Brook
Ign police last Saturday evening.
The affair was given by the Walla-
bout Street Group of the League of
Struggle for Negro Rights. The
workesr were enjoying themselves
and everything proceeded quietly
until 1870 am, when two bur1y rep
resentatives of capitalist "law and
order" invaded the place and or
dered the workers to get out. When
they found that the workers were
not inundated, and were prepared
to defend their rights, the cossacks
turned on the musicians and ordered
them to get out. Satisfied that they
had spoiled the evening for the work
ers, the cops then took themselves off,
greatly pleased, no doubt, with their
service to the capitalist masters who
life in frantic fear of the growing
unity of white and Negro workers.

Cops Fail to Smash
Paterson Picket Line
by a Striker.)


PATERSON, N. 1--WE start out
from Turn Hall to go on the picket
line. We march down Ellison St,
singing and holding signs. We get
to the Dunlop Mill A cop is there
to greet us. He greets us by calling
the station to send a patrol and a
squad of policemen.
That didn't bother us, we kept on
singing and shouting like hell.
Crowds lined up on sidewalk to
watch the picket line. A boss sticks
his head out of a window to watch
us also. There was man with four
children marching in front. A lady
with baby in a carriage and two
tots were in the line, too. A lady
with a baby in carriage and a man
with two little tots on each arm were
in the line also.
When we marched for about half
an hour it started to thunder and
hghtning. Did that scare us away?
Like fun IL did. We kept on march
ing. Two scabe came out and showed
us a fake settlement and asked us
not to picket there because they were
settled. The serg~,-..S asked the cap
tain Of the picket line to take us
away because it started to rain and
they were afraid they might get wet.
Tt poured, but we kept on march
ing just the same. Then the cap
tain came and told us it was useless
to picket any more because the scabs
were all out. Then we quit and went
home.

NEW YORK, June 2.-The
plan of having the school follow
the child even into the hospital,
which has been started in New
York, is now in operation in the
Middle West as well. The spe-
cial education department of the
hospital school at the University
of Michigan keeps many of its
young charges mentally occupied
by having groups of them under

Travel is the favorite pastime
undertaken with pictures, illus

English Is Favored
In German Schools

BERLIN, June 2.-The German
language teachers, meeting at
Hamburg, have demanded that
only English shall rank as a
dominant foreign language in
the graded schools, taking issue
with the Prussian minister Of
education, who had made French
the chief nonclaSSical language in
the upper school curriculum.
He based his action on the be.
lief that French was Of greater
cultural significance, representing
the essential Greco-Roman cIl-
ture upon which European in.

to this effect before the plenary
session Of the conference on
May 80.
It follows:
mo plan yet presented is en-.

States.
"The United States is pre-.
pared to assist in obtaining any

There should be a limita.

ers are allowed to use.
Certificates Proposed
"A system Of import and ex-
port certificates should be Ap-
piled to all opium and coca leaf
derivatives.
"GOvernmentS should account
for all imports, manufacture,
sales and exports Of all raw
materials and dLgS."

Light Socket Lamp Made
To Giue Violet Rays

NEW YORK, June 2 U.SD.
A lamp producing ultra violet rays
for use in conjunction with the
ordinary incandescent lamp has
been developed by the Westing-

director announced today.
A new lamp has been tried in
the laboratories and found to be
convenient and practicable on all
scores, designated type G-1 glow
lamp. It uses 40 watts and is al
most of the same size as 50-watt
lamp for lighting. This lamp emits
blush purple glow together with
ultraviolet radiations.

BIRTH CONTROL
LAID BEFORE
ASSEMBLY
Presbyterians Don't Expect
Debate on Subject; Reform
In Marriage Laws Urged

PITTSBURGH, June 2 Q.N.SO
With the reelection of DR.. Lewis
Seymour Nudge, of Philadelphia,
moderator Of the general assem-.
bly,, as stated clerk, adoption OF
the report upon marriage, divorce,
and re-marriage, the 143rd gen.
eral assembly of the Presbyterian
Church today prepared for discus
sion on majority and minority re-
ports of the overtures committee.
Debate Is Cut Off
These reports now contain the
only reference to birth control
before the assembly. Prophecies
Of debate on this issue went by
the boards when 1t was announced
that all reference to birth control
had been eliminated.
The report upon marriage, di-
vorce, and re-marriage, adopted
by the general assembly, proposes
reforms in marriage laws, uniform
divorce laws, and an exhaustive
educational campaign upon the
ideals of marriage.
A feature was the action of the
assembly in putting the Presby-
terian Church squarely behind
conscientious objectors to war SER
vice and reaffirmation of its
stand opposing compulsory mill
tary education.
FavOrS League Court
The assembly also favored entry
Of the United States into the
League Court and indOrsed pro-
hibitiOn educational campaigns in
tie public schools.
The Presbyterian marriage code
was changed but little. The re-
port pointed out that lit is doubt
full if anything is wrong with
marriage today that has not al
ways been wrong"
The report raped Hollywood
for its "Paganism" and the
Nevada gambling laws.

Citizens to Continue
Battle to Replace
Old Grant School

The long-standing battle of West
End citizens to have the 50-year-
old Grant School at Twenty-first
and G Streets Northwest replaced
by a new building, will again be
carried to Congress, according to
Mrs. Margaret Grissett, president
of the Parent Teacher Association,
and Charles L. Norris, president
of the West End Citizens Associ-
alton.
The citizens challenge figures Of
the superintendent of schools
showing a decrease in the white
school population of that section.
They declare the decrease at the
Grant School is due to the fact
that 286 children have been trans
ferred to a private school in the
neighborhood. This figure is the
equivalent shown by the Superin-
tendent's figures.

Notice of an appeal from the
order establishing a Scent carfare

was served on the Public Utilities
Commission today by street car
and bus companies.
Three attorneys representing
the companies appeared before
the commission at its regular
meeting today and each served a
notice of dissatisfaction and in
tent to appeal" upon the commits
sion.
The attorneys were S. R.
Bowen, of the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company; G..
Thomas Dunlop, Of the Capital
Traction Company, and George
P. Hoover, of the Washington
Rapid Transit Company.
Claims that the commission or
der was issued on insufficient
notice and on insufficient evi-
dence and violates the constitu-
tional rights of the companies
were made in each notice.
The notices, however, did not
attack the law passed by Congress
at the last session, which author
lied the commission to set up a

BEING RAZED

Wreckers today we're tearing

little two-story frame building in
the 600 block of D st. N. W.,
where. for something around a
half century, hard luck tales have
been told and secondhand cloth
ing bought and sold.
The founder Of the business,
E. s. Justh, passed on long ago
and for time a son, William,
conducted the business. During
the past nine years the widow of
the latter continued the "Old
Stand"
Now she has retired and within
a few hours the drab little build
ing itself. one of the landmarks
of downtown Washington. will
have disappeared in the big
trucks Of Heckinger's Wrecking
Company.
Some of the storekeepers left
in the block were unable to tell
just when the building was con-
structed, saying it's been here
ever since I can remember" or
must have been built a hundred
or more years ago."

A city.wide campaign TO pre-

Labor Union and the American
Federation of Labor, it is indi.
Gated by John Colpoys, editor OF

Declaring that the estimates
as submitted by the Board Of
Education have been cut to the
lowest possible point, Mr.. Col
poys protested a reported move
by the District Commissioners
to strike from the estimates pro-
vision for the construction Of two
vocational schools.
It is believed the Commission
ers have agreed to omit provision
for a new building at Thirteenth
and UpShur Streets Northwest
and another provision to buy
land adjoining the old Dennison
School at Fourteenth and s
Streets Northwest for a new build
ing for the Phelps Vocational

KING GTOEXTEND
STUDY Of D. c.
SCHOOLS
Complaints Lead Him to Alter
Conclusions Derived From
Original Investigation

Complaints recently received by
Senator William H. King (D.l Of
Utah have led to a reopening of
his investigation of the city's
public school system.
Alters Conclusions
The Senator, who is ranking
Democrat on the District Com.
mittee, went into the school sys-
tenn problem shortly after Con-
gress adjourned, and after in
veStigating conditions for some
time, announced he was satisfied
with the situation and that there
were only one or two minor de-
tails which he would seek to
change.
Since the announcement of his
earlier inquiry, however, King has
been the recipient of numerous
letters complaining about school
affairs. In addition, several per-
sons interested in the school syS.
tenn have called upon him and
urged that he consider other
phases of the matter.
Complaints Secret
In view of these additional
complaints, the Utah Senator has
decided to renew his inquiry. It
is probable that he will 80 into
greater detail in this study than
he did in the former one, when
he was content to rely almost
entirely upon statements made to
him by school officials.
Senator King refused today to
make public the nature of the
new complaints which he will
investigate.
