BRIDGEPORT, Conn.-Despite the

unemployed workers, many lacking
adequate clothing, came to Columbus
school last Monday night to hear I.
Amter, national secretary of the I'M
employed Councils, present a pro-
gram for unemployment relief based
on the taxation of the wealthy
The program Of unemployment in
surance met with hearty approval
and several times Amter was stopped
because of the applause of the work
ers who seemed ready to organize
and fight for their immediate de-
mands and for unemployment insur-
ance. Over a score gave their names
to the unemployed council, stating
they wished to become connected
with the activities of the council. A
call was sounded for city-wide con-
ference in order to elect and send
delegates to the Mass National Con-
vention to Washington.

Will Continue Mass
Fight to Force N. Y.
Board to Give Jobs

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-In a de-
cision handed down by the Supreme
Court on Thursday, the Board Of
Education of New York City was
ordered to fill the 1916 high schoo
vacancies with regular teacher ap-
pointments. This ruling YVES the re
suit CT a court case initiated by the
Unemployed Teachers Association in
its struggle for jobs for the unem-
ployed teachers
For two years the Board of Edu-
cation has maintained a policy OF
filling vacancies in the high schools
with substitutes who were paid about
half the salary of regular teachers.
There is no doubt that the Board
will appeal the decision of the State
Supreme Court and will seek other
subterfuge in order to avoid carry
ing out the order of the court. AL
ready, in anticipation of decision
that might be unfavorable, the
Board devised a $50 school year
plan that eliminates the first year of
high school and at the same time
does away with the major portion OF
the 1876 vacancies.
The Unemployed Teachers Associa-
ton realizes that the court ruling Is
only a partial victory, and will carry
on mass fight to defeat all at
tempts of the Board to avoid giving
the unemployed teachers work.

Labor Defense against the 90-day
sentences imposed here on Tony

ers from the Pennsylvania mine

was announced today.
The workers were arrested Oct. Is,

they were tried and comnvicted on
