The 44-HOur Bill for
Post Office Workers
BY DAVID LYNN.

April 18th many post office work
ers of this city will give an honorary
dinner to Mr.. Kendall, who is sup
posed to have given us the shorter
week.
Many of the workers come to us
and say that there is no need to fol-
low the leadership of the Communist
Party in the struggle to better our
conditions and they point to the pas
sage Of the bill. But we must say to
them that following the leadership
: of the Communist Party does not
z mean merely accepting the name but
accepting the principles and tactics.
And what are the principles and
the tactics Of the Communist Party?
The struggle of class against class
and class solidarity. In the shorter
week campaign we put up united
front against the U. S. Government
and there was a perfect unity from
the janitor association up to the SUI
pervisors and this means following
the Communist leadership. Besides,
a good many comrades have actively
participated in the campaign. but the
struggle is not over And due to the
big unemployment situation and the
thousands who are on the list wait
ing for positions in the postal service
we must demand five day week, a
seven hour day, and down with the
demerit system. And the only party
that will really unite us in the strug-
gle is the Communist Party Of
America

EXPOSE ALL. BUREAUCRACY IN
APRIL ISSUE OF LABOR DEFENDER

1--WE will not pussy-foot about this,
but come out openly and say that in
practically every instance when Tom
Mooney, with proletarian instinct,
was about to sanction the launching
of a wide and militant mass cam
paign in his behalf, his worst enc
mics (often members of the corrupt
bureaucracy Of the San Francisco
and California trade unions) would
suddenly become his friends just
long enough to step in Jail and
whisper, Don't do it, Tom; I've got
straight tip: give US sixty days Of
quiet, and We'll get you out"
Then Minor proceeds to point out
that the case has been hanging fire
since 1915 and that it always reached
it's highest point when there was q
mass movement behind the two i'm
prisoned workers and that their long
years in prison have been due to the
influences of the so-called labor
leaders" Minor continues:
"The movement for the defense
reached each of its highest points
precisely and only when it took on
an international and militant class
character. It has reached its lowest
and most hopeless stages when the
defense policy became one Of friend
ly diplomacy with the ruling class
of California. l can say with COM
plete conviction that at least ten long
and wasted years that these men Of
our class have spent in prison have
been due to such influences, deyit2l-
izing the movement whenever it Up
preached a mass character"
Minor in his article gives a coRt-
plete economic and political back
ground of the case and concludes
with the analysis that the only hope
for Mooney and Billings is in mill
tant policy uniting their case with
the amnesty campaign for all class
war prisoners made by the Interna-
tional Labor Defense and above all
it is necessary to link up in the
closest possible manner the Mooney
case with cases of the Imperial VAL
leg prisoners, the Centraha victims
and other outstanding cases, so as to
dra wthe issue actively in the vast
current of the revolutionary world

After listening TO the committee the
mayor promised to check up all the
empty flats and give shelter to the

two families were evicted. The IN
employed Council with the neiglbor-
ing workers fought militantly against
the clubs and gas bombs that the
police used against them.
The belongings Of one of the evict-
ed workers we're put back for the
third time this month. This worker
has a sick wife in bed and hungry
children who we're thrown out with

USE OF HALL
Fights Protection of
Foreign-Born
By RYAN WALKER

NEW YORK. 49, The Council for
the Protection of Foreign Born
workers rented a hall, the II Pro-
letario, at 15s Carol Street, in
Brooklyn, for mass meeting which
was scheduled for Friday, March 81.
The hall is controlled by the In
dustrial Workers of the World. The
meeting was protest against the
arrest and deportation of foreign
born workers, and as protest
against the lynchings Of Negro
workers. The hall was rented last
week and a two-dollar deposit was
given them.
On Tuesday the Council received
letter from the hall management,
returning the workers deposit, and
refusing the hall. The letter says
that they have decided not to rent
the hall to the Council because the
Council was communistic and they
did not approve of the "fascistic"
tactics of the Communists.
This is seen as a direct move ON
the part of the reactionary I.W.W.
to sabotage the work of the Coun-
Gil for the Protection of Foreign
Born workers. 1t is merely a pretex
on their part, not to let the work
ers hold their meeting.
The Council, however, announces
that the meeting will be held any
way. Workers will assemble on the
outside of the hall to protest against
the persecution of Negro and foreign
born workers. Italian and Negro
speakers are scheduled. All workers
are urged to attend.

The feature picture is "Side Show with those two comic masters, Winnie Lightner and Charles Butterworth. This pie ture is a howl from start to finish and has been acclaimed by press and public alike as the finest work Miss Lightner has ever done.

Plans for the new Fairlawn school. drawn by the city engineer ing department, were ordered ap- proved and bids advertised for; the opening of school was set for this coming Monday; night school opening was postponed; and sev- eral other matters were disposed of at the adjourned meeting of the board of education held yesterday afternoon.
 Eric Benedict, architect of the engineering department, submitted the plans to the board members. Judge Harry J. Beardsley stated They are a most beautiful set of plans." The 70 foot restrictions are observed and the school will be so constructed as to be 70 feet from each building line.
 Commissioner Nathan Freed man stated 1t would enhance the beauty of the school and provide for a larger playground If the structure were placed disregardins the restrictions, but this met with several arguments from the board members. The corporation counsel ruled that the restrictions must be observed and as the mayor must sign the contract which must first be approved by the corporation counsel, the proper course of ac- tion must be followed. Commissioner Martin Scully brought the discussion to an ab- rupt end by making a motion to approve the plans. This was car ried out. There is no sense in discussing this all over again" said MT Scully, referring to the plac-

the roads of the state ought to be very dangerous for the sake of safety on the theory that where danger does actually and obviously exist everybody, even the most reckless person, grants some care and 1t is an axion that only a very little care is necessary to avoid ac- cidents.
 Tt is quite apparent that from the study of statistics of eight re- cent fatal accidents that enough care was not given. There was , relaxation from the ordinary just great enough to make trouble. In these eight accidents the road sur- face was good in every case but one. The accident was caused by a wet surface and too much speed which resulted in a skid. Very possibly the tires on the car may have been smooth, a condition which ought to be considered by every car owner, particularly at this time of year, just before the fall rains and the period when wet leaves will be on the highway.
 Another accident was on slight curve at three o'clock in the morning when the car failed to make the curve and hit a tree. Relaxation of driving caution at night then may have had some- thing to do with that accident; d momentary let-down on the part of the operator.
 'In three others of the eight &C., cidents pedestrians were the vic- tims. They were travelling along country highways. How much each of them was at fault will of course never be known, but one operator who hit pedestrian ran away afterwards and he at least ad- mitted by running away that he was responsible.
 "The others were collisions be- tween automobiles. One was at an intersection and was caused by too much speed on the part of both cars. Another was caused by driver who attempted to wave to some friends and while going at a high rate of speed his car went onto the wrong side of the road and crashed into another.
 This sketchy analysis of just these few accidents points once more to the necessity for constant vigilance on the part of every road participant.

Continue Case
 Until Common Pleas Decides
Police in Testimony To-day Soften Their Altitude To- ward Accused-Judge Meyer Assures Family He Wishes to Avoid Sorrow or Additional Em- barrassment at This Time

Until the court of common pleas has disposed of four charges pending against him, Judge T. V. Meyer in police court this morning announced that he would reserve his decision in the case of Frank Salinardi, 26, of 39 Ridge street, arraigned to-day on allegations of breach of the peace and resistance.
 A description of the much pub licized commotion staged by Sali- nardi in his home by Traffic Ofn- evening was given by Traffic Off, cesr Walter Ahearn and William Green, who were the only two state witnesses called to the stand to- day. Sa1inardi did not take the stand, but one of his sisters was called to testify by Judge Meyer It was the general opinion of court officials that notwithstanding the many stories concerning the acc cused's conduct and resistance the two police officers gave him more than "a break"
 Officers Ahearn and Green testi- fled that last Thursday evening about 6 o'clock they were picked up by Patrolmen Charles Mc- Weeney and Thomas Grady who were responding to a telephone call sent into police headquarters. On arriving ta the Salinardi resi- dence they found crowd of spec tators gathered in the vicinity of Ridge and Martin streets. The of ficers were informed Took out that Salinardi had a gun. They saw no weapon and none was ex- hibited or discharged while they were on the scene. Several panes of glass in the windows had been broken and the furniture in one of the rooms tossed around. Salinardi sat in a chair with his arms wrap ped around the corpse of his mother who had died unexpectedly

that afternoon. The officers talk ed to him and attempted to calm him. He continued shouting, cry ing and cursing and putting his head against the wall of the room. When they attempted to place him in the patrol he resisted and fought back. He made a KICK at Officer Green, but missed.
 Miss Anna Salinardi testified that her brother helps their father and sells produce. In answer to a query whether or not the family had ever reasons to have the ac- cused examined, she replied in the negative. The court remarked on the young mans record and added very sympatheticaly that in this particular case he was anxious not to add to the sorrow or embarrass- ment of the family.
 AS Salinardi will be given jury trial in the court of common pleas on four charges Judge Meyer or dered the case continued until October 18th under bonds of $10,- 900. At this time he will announce his disposition of the case.
 A large crowd of Salinardi's friends were present in court to- day.

ing of the school in the best pos- sible position with no regard for the restrictions.
 Dr E. J. Godfrey in a letter to the board said that the infantile paralysis epidemic has waned suf- ficiently to allow the schools to open. The board voted to open them on Monday.
 Superintendent of Sch o o l s Michael c. Donovan announced that after conference with Thomas J. Condon, superintendent of night schools, 1t has been de- cided to postpone the opening of the night schools until Monday, October 5. Registration for those wishing to enter the night high schools must be made Thursday and Friday evenings, October 1 and 2. This postponement is made imperative so that arrangements for teachers and schedules can be made.
 The Council of Religious Educa- tion, in a communication, asked that the hour for religious educa- ton in the schools be set back to the original time 2:30 to 3:30 on Thursdays. It was changed sev- eral weeks ago to Fridays. It has now been changed to its original hour. The council claimed much encouragement would be necessary and that the work would be bur- densome to many teachers if the new hour were put in effect. The Chamber of Commerce sent a letter to the board asking that some action be taken relative to an advertisement in the Waterbury American by a shoe com pany that was headed "Otficial No tice, by the Board of Education and announcing sale on shoes The advertisement was misleading said the secretary of the cham Der.
