To Enforce Union Conditions

accept a lower wage scale since the
shop had just been organized, but
that they should abide by the seven
hour day.
The men were not discouraged.
When pay day came they refused
to sign the time sheets for 50 when
they were only getting $3.50. The
men were fired. They went to the
District Council and the council
refused to take stand on the mat
ter. The men went back to the job
and found that non-Union men had
been hired. Then they forced the
Council to act and the Royal jobs
were struck.
When the settlement was reached,
the union leaders agreed that only
half the crew go back to work on
the grounds that there wasn't
enough work. When the men went
back they found new workers. The
men, indignant at such betrayal,
are carrying the fight into every
local.
During the entire struggle, the
Painters Rank and File Protective
Association supported and aided
these men in every way.

Fascist Measures
Against N.S.L.
By a Student Correspondent

NEW YORK-For the past few
months fascism has raised its head
in Newton High School in Jackson
Heights, L. I. The newly formed
National Student League Group in
that school has already been severe
ly disciplined in several instances.
After the distribution of leafet,
one student was forced to resign
from the Arista honor society on the
threat that her diploma would be
withheld, and that she would lose a
scholarship she was trying to win.
Mr. Baker, the disciplinarian Of
the school, has shown himself to be
an out and out fascist. In one case
he told an Irish boy who was a
member of the N.SL. that he should
stop going around with those
sheenies." When, depite all of
Bakers threats, leaflets exposing
him went out, he placed three gag
rules on the students,
/. No one can speak about any
teacher-penalty one discipline
card.
2. Anyone spreading any unrest
or propaganda in the school would
have his diploma withheld.
3. Anyone speaking against the
government, president or flag will
be disciplined.
Many groups have taken up the
fight against this vicious anti
semitic, and the students have RAISED

Push lingo Drive
In Chicago
By a Student Worker Correspondent


CHICAGO, I'll. - The Chicago
Board of Education, in an effort to
do its bit toward the preparedness
drive, has launched a program for
the militarization Of the high
schools. The following recommended
ton presented by Superintendent
William j.. Began was adopted by
the board;
That the United States Army
sergeants assigned to R. o. T. c.
duty in the high schools be paid
$45 per month for full time service,
Military sergeants in r. o. T. G.
work are paid at the rate of $50
month by the Federal govern
msnt. This salary, while it may
maintain man and family at
military post, is inadequate to do
SO in Chicago where living costs
are much higher. Sergeants per-
form many school duties in con-
nection with their r. o. T, c. work
for which they should receive
compensation.
Further, the board has issued GER
tificates TO % additional army Of
ficers qualifying them to take
charge Of the R. o. t. c. units to
be introduced in the remaining
high schools.
To this move for turning the high
schools into military camps, the
ever-growing numbers of class con-
scious students have already given
concrete evidence of their Intention
to unite students, parents, and
teachers in active opposition. A
delegation of students, including
representatives Of the Youth Sec
ton, American League Against War
and Fascism, went to the board
meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 10 to
protest the action. The speaker for
the delegation asked permission to
express the opinion of thousands of
students in regard to the r. o. T. C.
The president of the board, Mr.. Nc
cahey, stopped him short with, Jaw
sit down." which was the signal for
the Red Squad" to begin man
handling the young student. A dele
cation from the Women's City Club,
Who had come to observe the board
in action, were Mortified by the
brutal treatment accorded the stu
dent, and voiced their protest and
resentment.

Relief Officials
Come to Blows
BY a Worker Correspondent

EAST LIVERPOOL, Ohio = The
relief administration in CoIumbiana
County has become so corrupt that
the officials in charge have resorted
to the use Of fists and chairs in
order to settle their disputes on how
they can deny relief to the unem-
ployed.
Mr.. William, who has always
shown courtesy in all his dealings
with the unemployed, was attacked
by one Jack johnson, assistant re-
lief director. Mr.. William defended
himself by using his fists against
Jacks face.
These relief csars in Columbiana
County are being supported by the
administration in Columbus through
writing to the chairman of the
grievance committee of the unem-
ployed workers and stating that the
plea of the workers cannot be con-
sidered against the desires of the
relief chiefs without greater proof
than the needs of the workers in
the county.
This means that we can only
prove the corruption of the officials
through a mass demonstration of
hundreds of workers at the relief
station in Lisbon. They are not only
cutting out relief but they are in
sulting us and treating us with
scorn.

NEW YORK-The struggle of the

Flop House Hospital
Called Death House
BY a Worker Correspondent

CHICAGO, Ill.-The conditions
at the flop house for single men at
500 N. Union Ave, which is run
by the Salvation Army for the I'LL
nois Emergency Relief Administra-
ton are almost beyond description.
Many of the men are so sick from
the overcrowding and bad food that
they can hardly stand in line for
the pig feed. Any one who cannot
stand up any longer is sent to the
hospital called the death house, on
the fourth floor. This hospital has
been named the death house be-
cause it is common sight to see
the police patrol carry dead men out
of it. Some are sent to the County
Hospital after it is too late and
they die there.
On the main floor there are about
300 chairs for the 1900 men staying
there. But to sit in them you are
forced to listen to the regular Sal
Walton Army line of sermons.

Relief Workers
Make Demands
BY q Worker Correspondent

BEMIDJI, Minn.-The relief sta
ton here moved up on the third
floor a few months ago into swell
quarters. Then they began to cut
the relief and every month the re-
lief was cut bit.
A few weeks ago there appeared
at the relief station nearly one hun
dred workers who had talked it over
on two relief jobs. Although a hun
dred got up the stairs without any
trouble with the police who knew
nothing about it, it was decided that
only committee Of five go In.
This committee went to the head
office and made the following de-
mands;
1. That every one In the county
get 40 per cent increase in budget.
2. That the Office force and in
vestigators be reduced 20 per cent.
3. Now that the state had doc
tor examine every one of us they
should supply free of charge dental
and medical care required.
The relief administrator Glenn A.
Wheaton talked very nicely to the
committee. He told them how he
had worked his way through COL
lege and now was trying to work
his way up to job that pays $500
month. He admitted he was living
on relief money now.
When the committee asked for
an answer to their demands, they
were told that he had no power to
grant them. He told them that he
would communicate with the head
Office and that they should come
back in week.
The workers are determined to
stand by the demands and if they
are not granted the next demon
stration will not be as quiet as this
one was.

sEvAsTOPoL, U.s.s.R-I have
Just come back from a sanitarium in
Odessa, place for which our fac
tory committee had given me per-
nit and where I spent a whole
month.
It is needless modesty on your
part to say that your letter is Of
little interest. On the contrary, we
all read it with the greatest interest
because We are greatly interested
in the process going on in the minds
Of such proletarians as you who
have learned by experience the de-
ceitfulness of the Social-Dem
and bourgeois democracy and re-
allied that the only way to liberty
Is the way shown by the Commu-
mist Party. That is why all you are
telling of your struggle and Of the
difficulties you have to experience
is so familiar to us. We have all
experienced as much ourselves,
myself have stood all the "joys" Of
intervention, flogging which has
left its indelible marks upon my
health.
Now few words about ourselves.
Together with many other Sevas-
topol workers went on board the
splendid motorship "AhkhsSia,
called so after one of our republics,
to Odessa for some rest and medical
treatment.
MEMORIES OF ODESSA
About $4,000 workmen and en-
ployes were enjoying it there this
summer. Eighteen years ago, in this
same town, I, then a soldier In the
Cars army, met the February rev.
olution with a gun in my hands
and took part in the preparation fol
the October Revolution. In this
same town, as you know, the French
sailors rose under the heroic lead
ership Of Andre Marty and made
the interventionists call their ships
home.
How changed now both this towr
and our country as a whole! Thou
sands of workers are now taking
their rest in the palaces and villas
of the former money bags. The
town, which used to be the scene o.
atrocious massscres of the Jews Il
now, together with the rest of tht
towns in the Soviet Union, inhabited
by peoples of the most varied ma.
tionalities, all living in close unity
and friendship with each other.

ers. Not one among them all, be il
a scholar, workman, Red Army
man or a housewife, but took active
part in discussions upon the worl

one, even without being a deputy,
may take part in the different sec
lions Of the town soviet, Our Red
Army and Navy, the foreign work
ers, all have the same rights in the
elections for the town soyiets.
SOVIET RECORDS PROGRESS
Here are a few facts from the
work of our town soviet during the
period Of the last three and half
years: Dozens of workers houses
have been built. The workers sub
urbs have been put into good order
and have been planted around with
trees. An autobus service has been
introduced. connecting the suburbs
with the center of the town, a new
water sport station THE Dynamo"
park for rest and culture, public
nurseries, kindergartens. new schools,
bread factory have been opened.
Our local industry has bee
strengthened and reconstructed. A
new eleotro-station is being built
and grand new Army and Navy
club, ETC., etc. One cannot enumer-
ate it all.
The requirements of the workmen
are growing. Much has been left
undone yet. That is why the work
ers criticized severely the work of
the old town soviet and gave a series
OF suggestions in their directives to
the new one.
At the last plenary sitting of the
town soviet was present one of the
personages Of the Leipzig trial for
the Reiehstag fire, Comrade Tanev,
on his way back from a south coast
sanitarium where he had been under
medical treatment. He met with the
warmest reception.
NAVAL SHIPBUILDING WORKS
LEAD
The best of our concerns as re-
CARDS the accomplishment of the in
dustrial and financial plan were
given the right to report of their
achievements to the plenum. Two
OF these were our naval shipbuild-
ing works, which had already been
awarded the Order of the Red Ban
ner and which has already given
our country % ships, and the best
OF our collective farms. In the lobby
there was an exhibition of all the
achievements of our town in the
last years.
Dear Comrade Charles, you have
asked me to write about the psy-
chology Of the new man who is
building up socialism in our eoun-
try. Well, all the facts mentioned
above characterize wildly enough
the fact that the whole attitude of
our workmen towards their labor.
their factory is quite different from
what 1t used to be at the time of
the capitalist order or society.
The shop in which I am working
has over-fulf1lled It's plan 100 per
cent. Our concern, the military har-
Dor as a whole, has attained an
economy to the amount of 1854
rubles owing to the different inven-
tons OF our workmen for the inn
proyement and acceleration of the
process of manufacture. Three hun
dred and nine premiums have been
awarded to these inventors.
