If there were to be some sort of huge weights at- tached to your two hands and your arms were thus to be pulled to twice their length and you were then able to do twice your normal work that would be like the stretch out. It is true that the cotton tex tile, code has cut the work week and 1t is true that it has raised the minimum wage per week from the low point of $8 to SIP in the south. But by the use of the stretch out the mills are getting as much product per man and as much in the aggregate as they got before.
 Third, there is the question of obedience to the law. The recovery act gives the workers the right to organize. Our organization has grown greatly but in mill after mill workers have been discharged for joining the union.
 Fourth. there Is the question of wages. The code minimum per week is SIP. By a combination of circumstances we find that the average actual wage paid is about $10 per week and I think that is a generous figure. This is because so few are able to get a full week of work.

 Mayor Hayes was one of the principal speakers of the day. In his address he paid tribute to the part played by citizens of German descent in the history of Water bury. The various facilities of the park were placed at the disposal of visitors through arrangements made by Superintendent Irving H. Harrison and William J. Derwin, recreation director.
 Fourteen German o i t s united for the purpose of staging the popular affair and the general enthusiasm aroused will result in a number of social, musical and gymnastic events during the com ing winter months. A permanent committee will also result as every effort will now be made to encour- age greater interest in the study of the German language among local high school students. Prizes will be awarded next June on the basis of outstanding general scholarship.

MORE ORDERSN GERMANY TO HIT
 JEWISH PEOPLE
Rudolf Hess is Printing Three Million Copies to
 Be Distributed

(Copyright 1884 by United Press)
 Berlin, Aug 3O-(UP)-An order virtually prohibiting any relation ship between members of the Nazi party and Jews has been prepared by Rudolf Hess. Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler's deputy leader of the party, and awaits distribution, 1t was learned today.
 Three million copies of the or der, it was learned, have been printed, and await distribution to Nazi party members.
 It was believed the order was the result of resolutions passed by the world Jewish conference at Geneva and was intended as warning against an intensihcation of the boycott of German goods abroad.
 Only yesterday the Nazi church government decided to extend the "Aryan paragraph" of church laws by providing that Evangelical pas tors married to Jewesses must be retired and that pastors deemed nationally unreliable" might be retired. Today's order, it was learned, contains five strict pro- hibitions. A preface by Hess says: q forbid" and following are the restrictions as follows: 1-No Nazi party member shall be represented in court by a Jew ish attorney.
 2-No Jew may be given letter of introduction or. recommenda . ton by a party member to govern ment officials or party function aries.
 3-No money will be accepted from Jews in party collections. 4-No Nazi shield or symbol shall be displayed in & Jewish store.
 5-No party member may be seen in public places with Jews and members must avoid even private relationship with any kind of Jews

Escape from the Nazis
: The Sonnenburg Torture Camp

We know from reliable sources
that many Of the prison guards had
formerly been prisoners themselves
At Sonnenburg They were bur-
glars, housed breakers, and so on.
And these men we're specially de-
tailed by Goering to guard the anti
fascist prisoners.
The guards who came to the
camp in April, 1898, we're hated
by the inhabitants and the peas
ants around Sonnenburg. The po-
lice Of the village and other local
officials were constantly in conflict
with those who were sent from
Berlin by Chief of Police Wecke.
The young peasant women and
girls were the special prey Of the
guards.
ONE night one of the guards fired
y his gun while drunk. The bull
let made hole in the ceiling and
grazed one of the political pris-
onerS on the second floor. Another
time he took two of the prisoners
into the courtyard to exercise them
and threatened to kill them. The
men were saved only by the inter-
vention Of one Of the other Nazis
who happened to pass by. They
brought him to the guard house
where he explained that he was
immune under ell circumstances,
under article 81 IA law for in
sanity.

Militant Struggles of
Teachers Reflected In
Unemployed Teacher

THE UNEMPLOYED TEACHER.
official organ of the Unemployed
Teachers Association, summer is-
sue. 5 cents.
Reviewed by r. V. ARCHER
THE growing militancy that marks
the struggles of New York teach
ers is strikingly reflected in the spe-
cial summer issue of The Unem-
ployed Teacher, monthly organ Of
the Unemployed Teachers Associa-
ton. This is an enlarged issue Of
the paper containing six pages in
stead of the usual four, the addi-
tional pages being devoted to a
brief history of the organization, its
struggles and victories since it came
into existence in April of 1882. This
history is Of particular significance,
not only to every teacher, but to
every worker who realizes that the
struggle of the teachers for the
United Front, for work relief and
job insurance, and against wage
cuts, discrimination against Ne
groes, fascism and war, is a vital
part of the class struggle as a whole.
Another feature of this fighting
little publication is its technical ex-
cellence. Printing and makeup set
a standard for other working class
publications to follow. Cuts and
cartoons are clear and distinct and
the whole paper is attractive to the
eye. The content Of the paper bears
out it's attractive appearance, the
editorials are clear, concise and to
the point, the news stories and spe-
cial articles are Informative and
make lively reading. Columns de-
voted to teacher correspondence and
parents activities throw additional
light on the activities Of the organ
ization.
The papers shortcomings lie in its
omissions. Exposure of the social
fascist and A. p. Of L. misleaders
in the teaching profession are
notable for their absence in this is
sue. There is a lack Of any clear
statement of the organizations po-
sition toward these misleaders.
Also, where is the news of student
activities? The necessity for soli-
darity of students and teachers is
an essential link in their joint
struggles and should be pointed out
to every teacher.

DRIVEN TO DEATH

OCIAL-DEMOCRATIC WORKER
DRIVEN TO DEATH
AUGUST 10, 1888, a group of So
n cial democratic workers we're
brought to the camp. The same
evening we heard the screams Of
our martyred comrades. The chief
bully at this time was certain
Max Muller, from Frankfurt, Oder,
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES One of the
most harassed of the prisoners was
social-democratic civil servant,
about 40 years old. Even the Nazis
revolted at the treatment that he
received at the hands of Muller,
and they asked the latter to be
more moderate and to strike him
less brutally.
His story is short. The day after
his arrival he was found hanging
in his cell.
That same day, when Muller went
into the Nazi oining-room, some Of
his companions called out to him,
"You know what you have on your
conscience. " They sang in q
chorus, Make, you know how to
beat 'em up, beat 'em up, beat 'em
up. But Muller was doing
his "duty" His group had been ac-
cused Of lack of severity with the
prisoners, and he took no chance Of
losing his position.

Browder Analysis of
N. r. A. Confirmed In
Events On West Coast

NEW YORK-Bloody labor wars
in San Francisco afford striking
proof of Earl Browder's characteri-
zation of the N. R. A. as "an in
dustrial slavery act for the work
ing class"

N. R. A., explained by the Party's
General Secrtary as zone Of the
steps toward the militarization Of

can fascism," (" before the Extraor-
binary Party Conference in July,
1888, is reproduced in more per-
manent form in The N. r. A. From

tional Recovery Review Board, w.
L. Thompson saw that N. R. AS
development day by day reveals
more clearly a marked trend to-
wards fascism in the United States. :"
The famous Darrow- Thompson re-
port shows how "the N. r. A. has
given the sanction of government to
Self-governing combinations in the
different industries. Inevitably this
means control by the largest pro-
ducers."
The pamphlet also contains ex-

on the N. R. A. to the Cleveland

The prisoner from Sonnenburg,
we learned q few days later, had

a newly-built canal. But some time
afterwards he had staggered into
the municipal hospital OF Sonnen-
burg, bleeding from two bullet
wounds. When the Nazis learned of
this they promised that they would
take care of him."
The article also stated that at
the same time another prisoner
from Meseritz (Neumarck) was ac-
cused of having murdered a young

fessed. Later it was reported that
he had been shot down in The fer
