THE COMMISSION on Schools
adopted a number Of control
tasks for the Party In connection
with the building of more Work
ers Schools, The number of schools
at present is too small; we have
Workers Schools in a number of
places but there are important cen
tres where schools can be and must
be built as soon as possible. The
Commission placed as its first task
to establish schools in the following
places in the coming fall: Philadel-
phia, Buffalo, Minneapolis, ST.
Louis. Milwaukee, Newark. The
comrades in the respective districts
must begin to plan for it imme-
diately. Committees for this pur-
pose have to be set up. 1t is suff1-
Gent to assign one energetic COM
rade for this work. This comrade
can attract a number of sympatl1i-
zers from the workers and intellec-
tuals who are close to the Party thus
forming a preliminary organization
committee. The entire plan Of work
should be discussed, duties assigned
to individual members, such as the
securing of necessary finances, a
proper location for the school, the
physical equipment for the school,
etc.

Quoted in a systematic manner will

has been our experience in Boston,
Chicago, Cleveland and other places,
that with small initial sum of
money the school can be established
and will quickly pay for itself.
The curriculum of the school
should be carefully planned together
with the comrades Of the district

Farm School on Wheels

Farm School on Wheels
We have word from the Middle
West that they are laying plans to
conduct a Farm School on Wheels
this summer to operate throughout
the farm regions in North Dakota,
South Dakota, etc. This school on
wheels was tried out last summer
and it proved to be very valuable
supplement to the education work
done by the Party.
There are two classes in Organiza-
ton Principles being conducted in
Russellville and Dardanelle, Arkan-
sss. These classes meet twice a
week and are each attended by more
than twenty-five Negro and white
workers and farmers, including two
women. Plans are being made to
begin class soon in Social Forces
in American History.

Benefits of Re-
cOuery Move.

COLUMBIA, S. c.. February s.
South Carolina Is virtually out of the
depression, q result that can be
traced to the Federal Employment
agencies.
The State is now getting about
twice as much for its cotton as it did
this time last year. Its tobacco crop
of 1888 brought at least one-half
more than did the 1882 crop. Cotton
mills, generally speaking. are run
ming full time now with much higher
wages being paid than a year ago
and with numerous Federal aid
projects finished or under way, the
State presents an entirely different
aspect from what it did a year ago.
So far Washington has approved
18 works projects amounting to So
100000. A few of these have been
finished, others are under way, and
yet others are being advertised. Thir-
teen projects in aid of State educa-
tional, penal and charitable institu-
tions calling for an expenditure Of
$7,431 900 have been approved by the
State Federal Emergency Administra-
ton, and are now in the hands OF
the authorities in Washington.
Other public projects have been
approved by the local board amount
ing in all to about $40,000,000, the
greatest of these being the develop
ment of hydroelectric plant, known
as the Santee-C Cooper River project,
which calls for an expenditure of
about S34.000,000, which it is esti-
mated will take SO months to COM
plete and which will employ about
5000 men for that time.

CHILD LABOR
VIEWCHANGED
BY CAROLINA
State Likely to Rat
Hy Amendment
on Subject.

RALEIGH, N c., February g.
North Carolina was one OF the first
States to reject the child labor
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton when 1t was submitted 10 years
ago, but there now appears q likeli-
hood that that action will be reversed
when the next General Assembly
meets In January, 1885.
In 1924, North Carolina was still
embued with the idea Of attracting
industry through cheap labor and the
working Of children in cotton mills
was regarded as an arrangement be-
tween the mills and the children, with
which Government should not con-
Germ itself.
Since that time, the State law has
been strengthened and was well OBJ
served prior to the time when adop-
ton of the N. R. A. textile code put
an end to child labor in the mills
for the duration of the code.
Not all of the mill owners are pre-
pared to reverse their former bitter
opposition to the proposed amend
ment to the Federal Constitution, but
surprisingly large number of them
are. The operation of the code has
been on the whole eminently salts
factory to all engaged in the textile
industry, and there is no desire to re-
turn to the cutthroat competition
which rendered the industry far from
prosperous long before the depression.

suffered many setbacks and him
drances because of it.
Now that the State is emerging
from the worst depression it has ever
known, the voters are in mood to
consider a new constitution. More
over. the district political leaders
who have so long prevented a favor
able vote, find new leaders among
the civic and social elements.
Thus far there has been no init
nation of political opposition. In
former years East Tennessee objected
mainly for the reason that they be-
lieved the old constitution gave the
prevailing Democratic majority too
much leeway and they did not want

But that has been changed. When
Austin Peay became Governor in 1928
he turned to East Tennessee and
built roads and parks. Now the
Muscle Shoals development is pour

East Tennessee is beginning to be-

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, February s.
Aside from Roosevelt's birthday cele-
bration, Alabama has centered its in
terest in the cotton acreage reduction
campaign and in politics. Nearly l.
100000 acres have been cut from the
five-year acreage average in the State,
according to DR.. L. N. Duncan, Au-
burn, director of the campaign, as the
campaign closed. The acreage Is well

Summer, when slightly more than
800, 900 acres were taken out Of pro-
duction.
While Alabama farmers are CO.
operating with q good approach to
unanimity in the Governments pro-
gram to cut production, there IS con-
siderable sentiment in the State for
attempting to reduce production
through limitation of bales instead Of
limitation of acreage. This stand is
led by Senator John H. Bankhead.
who has introduced bill in the United
States Senate seeking to adopt the
bale limitation for the cotton reduc-
ton program. Many farmers and

CHICAGO, February 3-Public in
terest in Illinois has been divided be-
tween crime and politics during the
past week The Tuscon. Ariz., coup
that rounded up the Dillinger gang
of Interstate bandits and killers after
they had left a trail of violence and
robbery across Illinois, Indiana and
Wisconsin: the Chicago trial of the
Tuohy gang on the charge Of kid
naping Jake Factor, and the case
against alleged racketeerS in Chicago's
cleaning and dyeing industry have
been sharp competitors for attention
with the slate making efforts Of Demo-
Gratis and Republicans in preparation
for April primaries.
The celebration of President Roose-
velt's birthday cracked through the
surface of those more sordid matters.
Throughout the State the day was
observed in a manner bearing testi-
mony to the continued popularity of
the man in the White House. OBJ
servances in the Chicago city hall
brought the mayor and other officials
of the local Democratic administration
into the picture despite the fact that
relations between the State and local
party machine and the Federal regime
are said to be considerably strained.
The latest evidence of that strain
Is seen in the sudden change which
took place recently in direction Of c.
w. A. activities. and the resigna-
ton Of the Illinois Commission for
Emergency Relief as the responsible
I body for c. W. A. control in Cook
County. The appointment of Lieut..
Col. Sultan as Cook County admins
traitor Of the c. w. A. was made over
the head of Robert j. Dunham, chair
man Of the Relief Commission, who is
an appointee of Gov. Horner. There
has been no little discomfort among
leaders of the State Democratic or
ganiZation over the failure to recognize
it in matters of Federal patronage
The disposition is to hold Secretary
Ickes largely responsible for appoint
! ments from Cook County that do
not run In line with organization
preferences.
But the State Democrats are going
| ahead with the preparation of their
ticket for State and county offices
and a large measure of surface
harmony testifles to the strength Of
State leadership. Among the Republic
ans the indications Of harmony are
not so CONSPICUOUS, although a strong
effort has been made to tie into an
operative whole the several factions
which in recent years have been at
| war.
