Chicago C. P. Opens
New Workers School
In Center of City
(DaiIy Worker Midwest Bureau)


HICAGO, Aug. 10.-New quarters
for the Chicago Workers School
have been obtained near the heart
of the city as the first step in the
realization of the expansion pro-
gram adopted at a conference a
month ago. Located at sos S. State
Street, the new school building will
be easily accessible from all parts
Of the city.
Beatrice Shields, director of the
school, announced that other planks
in the school program will be car
ried out, including the strengthen
ing of the branch school system in
various heavy industrial centers in
and near Chicago.
Bill Gebert, District Organizer of
the Communist Party, comment
ing on the new school building
stated:
THE District Committee Of the
Communist Party enthusiastically
greets the opening of the new
workers educational center. and
pledges its full support to the ex-
pansion program of the Chicago
Workers School. The realization of
the program will give to the
workers of Chicago an improved
educational system to train them to
be better fighters in the class
struggle"

L. r.. A. Exposes Homework
Sweatshops Under the MIRA.

feather industry, for example, was
shown in a report of the National
Child Labor Committee submitted
to the NRA in May, 1894.
Minimum wages specified in the
code for this industry are SIS per
week of 40 hours, or at the rate of
3T1ac an hour. Here are few ex-
amples of actual earnings per hour
in the homework that is common
in this industry:
Parchment or celIophane flowers,
SOC a gross; IL hours to make
gross by one person-about &c an
hour.
Roses, 81 a gross complete takes
one person II hours to make a
gross; about &c an hour.
Preparing wind flowers, &c a
gross; one person takes an hour to
IL hours to make a gross; &c an

Carnations for Mothers Day, zoe
a gross; one person makes a gross
in two hours; 10c an hour (this is
an experienced worker after 10 to
II years in the trade.
Cellophane feur- de-lis, 85c a
gross; workers make 10c to 15c an
hour.
In crocheting hats, it was found
that the rate was SOC a dozen, and
a woman could make only half
dozen in day.
Not only are wages in tenement
homework the lowest to be found
in the industrial world, but other
difficulties about such work mean
that the worker is at the mercy of
the contractor. Among these spe-
cial problems are the following:
l. No possibility for collective
bargaining, picketing, or other forms
of activity by which workers are
able to organize and protect them
selves as in factory labor. Home
workers work separately and indi-
vidually.
2. In homework workers must
provide overhead expenses of light,
neat, machinery, space and other
items.
3. Enormous burden put upon
taxpayers to provide inspection of
tenements, as to sanitation, etc.
4. Economic necessity has drives
these home-workers to accept work
at these low rates. Only social pro-
visions for care of young children,
for illness, unemployment and old
age, will enable the workers wife
and adult members of the family
either to go out to work in fac
tory under better conditions or to
stay at home without the burden of
long hours on homework paid at
such low rates.

Hughes, noted Negro writer, from

The protest at the same time de-

mass arrests and the raids by the
vigilantes and the police, and de-
manded the immediate release of
all Jailed workers.
A protest meeting against the

Reactionary Educators
of California Forming
New Capitalist League
BY a Teacher Correspondent


LOS ANGELES, Cal. - Recently
candidates for assembly and state
senate received a QUESTIONABLE
from the Committee of 1884 of
the California Civic League" This
league claims to be an organization
sponsored by a group of educators
whose "chief object is to join all
teaching groups in one united
effort to maintain the best in edu-
cation for the children of Cali
fornia." In order to carry out this
laudable purpose it proposes TO
investigate" the stand taken by
the various candidates for office
and will back those who promise
most.
Let's have a look at this high
sounding organization. Clarence r.
Briggs is chairman and Georgia
B. Parsons secretary. Last year
Briggs was sent by the Associated
Teachers Organizations of Los
Angeles to lobby at the state
legislature. He was supposed to do
his utmost to see that no bills un-
favorable to teachers We're passed.
Now you will recall that at this
legislature one of the most vicious
bills, namely the special application
of the criminal syndicalism law
making it possible to dismiss any
teacher who is un-American enough
to think or talk about present con-
ditions, was passed.
Where was our friend" Mr..
Briggs? Oh, he was there all right.
The bill was nothing for him to
worry about.
So much for Mr. Briggs. AS to
Georgia Parsons, formerly presi-
dent of the L. A. Teachers Club,
it was she who conceived the
bright idea Of trying to collect
list of all teachers who had con-
tributed financially or otherwise to
the recall of the "reactionary three"
on the L. A. board of education.
This list was to be posted conspic-
uously in the clubrooms (for the
benefit of principals, supervisors
and members of the board of edu-
CATION. Even the members of the
City Teachers Club, who are in
many respects politically unborn,
booed down this suggestion.
Fellow teachers, this organization
IS just a new disguise for the A.
T. o. L. A which in turn is part
of the larger and more insidious
California Teachers Association.
Wake up before it is too latel If
you really want candidates who
will fight for your best interests,
along with those of the rest of the
working class, vote Communist. If
you have not registered Commu-
mist and are afraid to do so, re-
member you can still vote Com
munist in the general election.
Vote Communist and give back to
the teachers of California freedom
of thought, speech and action.

INDUSTRIAL homework with its
! VIGOROUSLY low wages continues
despite the prohibition of such tene-
ment work in the needle trades and
certain other NRA codes, according
to evidence submitted by Labor Re-
search Association in a letter to
Nathan StrauS, Jr., New York State
director of the National Emergency
Council under NRA. In New York
State, where the greatest amount
of homework is found, it has now
been legalized in new law effec-
tive July l, 1884, providing that each
home worker shall be licensed. A
recent estimate by Industrial Com
missioner Elmer F. Andrews places
the number of home-workers at
10000 in New York State, and
100000 in the country as a whole.
BY special order of the National
Recovery Administration, in COOP
Grafton with the U. S. Department
of Labor, sent out to New York
firms by Commissioner Andrews,
"sub-standard" permits will be is
sued allowing industrial homework
forbidden by NJ R. A. code. This
order reads in part:
reads in part:
IF your industry is one in which
homework has been prohibited, you
are entitled to make application for
such sub-standard permits but only
when one of the following condi-
lions exist"
NRA's special order then provides
for three important loopholes which,
in effect, legalizes a large amount of
homework. If the home-worker
has some physical defect, not con-
tagious; if the home workers serv-
ices are absolutely essential at home
to care for an invalid or someone
who is "bed-ridden";; or if the
home worker was always accus-
toned to the earning of living by
homework and is too old to adjust
in factory routine-under any of
these conditions a special permit
for a sub-standard worker may be
issued. Sub-standard workers, of
course, are not paid even the mini
mum code wage rate.
Mothers with dependent children
are not at present included in the
permissive class, but a determined
campaign to include them is being
waged by the Home Work Protec-
tive League, organized by manufac-
turers who wish to continue profit
ing from the low wage rates paid
for home work.
