Army Threatens Demonstration
Rumors circulated stating that the
army was going to shoot down the
demonstrators. The reactionary Direc-
torio Estudiantil and the ABC rad
icals" went around in cars calling
upon the workers not to attend. Armed
troops and the ABC groups visited
factory after factory threatening
slaughter If the manifestation took
place. All day long the official radio
stations called upon everyone to stay
off the streets and stated that mas
sacre would take place If the demon
stration occurred.

Activities in the coal mines
showed some improvement. The
flour and cereal mills reported sat
isfactory operations. The gathering
of sugar beets and the ~beet-sugar re-
fineries continued to employ many
workers. The volume of building
was insufficient to engage all of the
local craftsmen, and these workers
were among the surplus of labor ex-
isting.
Helena-Fair levels of production
and employment prevailed in the
cereal and flour mills. The silver
and gold mines, smelters and re-
duction plants remained practically
inactive. The seed-cleaning houses
continued to employ many female
workers. Telephone toll-line extern
sions engaged some additional crews.
Work continued on the erection of a
federal structure and a number of
residences. The %oversupply of labor

Arkansas and Alabama rural
schools are the hardest hit. For lack
of funds, in 26 cases Arkansas
schools have been entirely abandoned.
Four out of five counties in Arkan-
sas closed their schools early this
year because of insufficient funds.
Two counties cut off about two
months of the school year. In Ala
bama two counties closed their
schools in the middle of the term.
Elementary schools are suffering

economic group. Fewer teachers are
being employed; many have been dis
missed. In Alabama elementary
schools the salaries have been cut
l2.1 per cent and in high schools

Arkansas elementary teachers pay
has been cut 22.2 per cent, and high
school teachers pay 1871 per cent.
But the ruthlessness of the blows
struck by the ruling business and
political leaders at public education
in the cities of 100000 population or
more, is as evident as the poverty of
the rural South. In these cities,
where industrial and commercial in
terests predominant, the slashes in
school budgets appear almost to be
dictated by a deliberate policy of
handspring the next generation of
workers.
