LW.O. Calls for Aid
To Workers Center
Asks Support of Ban
quet, Dec. "a

NEW YORK.-Urging its members
to support the drive for $4,000 for
the sustaining fund for the Workers
Center, the National Executive Com
mittee of the international Workers
Order issued the following statement
THE revolutionary movement Of the
U. S. A. is in need of a home. Our
organizations need a place to con-
centrate their activities. We cannot
depend upon the sentiments of a
landlord. This alone is sufficient
argument fer the upkeep Of the
Workers Center at so E. 18th st.
THE branches of the International
Workers Order which have no steady
local rooms and are wandering around
will agree that such an existence is
impossible, especially for the national
headquarters of our Vanguard Leader
Therefore, the fourth Annniver-
Sary Banquet of our Workers Center
arranged by the Central Committee
Communist Party, for Sunday, Dec
"a, at 7 p. m. at so E. 18th st. is OF
the utmost Importance.
The National Executive Commit
tee of the TWO. calls upon all the
branches of our Order to participate
in this banquet. The Workers Center
is an institution for our movement
and this banquet is an excellent op-
portunity for us to prove again oul
loyalty in supporting our institutions
Send your delegates to the ban
quet! Send your contributions! He'll
keep up the Dynamo OF our Move
ment!"

Unpaid Teachers Cut
Ii Pc. More in Chi.

CHICAGO, ul.-The Board Of
Education is preparing a Christ
mas present" for the Chicago un-
paid teachers, by giving them new
liza per cent cut in their wages.
The total of the cut now is 35
per cent in the last year, for 1900
school teachers and school en-
pioyes, who, by the way, are not
receiving even these miserable
wages. The SchoolBOard owes the
teachers more than S20,00O,Oe0.
The leaders Of the teachers union,
both affiliated TO the A. F. of L.

this move. 1t is the task of the
rank and file teachers to iInmedi-
ately organize a campaign against
the additional wage-cut and to get
the back Wages.

that they should devote more OF the
articles to the everyday happenings.
But we must also remember that
last spring there were a large num-
Der Of workers blacklisted and among
them were some of our contacts.
This left us with less members who
are working on the docks, so it Is
pretty hard for them to remember
everything that is said and happens.
On the whole I am sure that you
and the Daily" have done us q
great deal of good, because this will
draw the attention of the top leader
ship more than we would be able to
do, even though we've tried to point
out these shortcomings.
One thing that still binders us
even more is the lack OF co-opera-
tion from the street units in getting
the paper distributed. This causes it
to come irregularly to the workers,
but I am sure that this will also be
corrected in the future.
The season will close in about a
week or ten days. We aim to get
one more issue out for the longshore-
men, but unless we continue to put
an issue out for the coal dock work
ers this will be the last issue until
April next year, as we don't believe
in working during the winter. We
hibernate, or else we are in the soup
lines. The latter most often hap
pens.

The Letter From the Unit

Inc Lettef From the Unit
Dear Comrade Haessler:
Just received the Mondays issue
OF the Daily in which you review
our paper, THE Dock WORKER to
which I have to devote quite a bit
of my time.
First of all wish to give you my
heartiest congratulations for the
polite and constructive criticism that
you give us, for these reasons;
/. Since the discrimination of the
shop paper review from the Party
Organizer, we have had no criticism
of this sort, and this has put us into
a position where we have not received
any criticism with an effect as this
will have, because the top leadership
has practically forgotten this part.
2. A few words in regards to the
articles from the job. In 1881 there
was no Dock Unit, but the paper was
put out by the Section Organizer,
with the help Of the close sympa-
thizers who gave first hand informa-
ton. The Section Organizer for
merly happened to work on the docks.
This helped a lot, but when he had
unit organized shortly afterwards
there were some changes made and
they were Of great loss to us, and
our paper.
3. In regards to the cartoons, we
have truly lost quite lot on them,
also due to the fact that we have
at the present time nobody in the
section who Is cartoonist. But new
ertheless we are trying to get some
from some other papers which you
will notice.
The reason for the articles not
dealing so closely to the docks may
easily be explained. Those who are
in the unit now devote q great deal
Of their time to the political sides Of
the struggles and therefore forget

Business Notes
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 25.-stand-
ard Statistics Co. in its weekly sum-
mary of the general business situation
says:
Despite the unsettled conditions
which have created furore in the se-
curity markets. business activity is
showing marked stability, and a few
positive increases after the temporary
setback which followed Labor day.
Maintenance Of steel mill operations on
fairly even keel and the stability of
the automobile industry are largely re-
sponSible for this showing. Electrical
power production, which is closely
geared to the domestic and industrial
use Of current, is at the highest level
of the year, although largely due to
seasonal factors"
Ready-to-Wear goods manufacturers
made considerable progress in catching
up on old orders last week, due to the
lull created by the Jewish holidays and
the desire OF retailers to await further
consumer response.
Dress price lines are Stabilizing at
the higher levels, but reports indicate
that the quality of the low-end mer-
chandise is not as good at the advanced
prices as 1t was at the previously lower
figures. Swagger suits and sportwear
continue to sell we'll.
Lumber production during the week
ended September Is was somewhat
greater than the week before, and new
business booked by the mills was heavier
than since mid-July. according to tele-
graphic reports to the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association. Unified
orders at the mills were reported as
the equivalent of is days average pro-
duction
