We in New Haven do not realize how lucky we are to be given the opportunity to be instructed in the many subjects that are taught at the New Haven Labor College. We are also very fortunate to be given the privilege of using some of the most modern Yale University buildings.
 TIME AND PLACE
 The College opens on Wednesday, Nov 5, and will run for 10 successive Wednesdays. The place is Linsly- Chittenden Hall, 59 High Street, New Haven Gone block from Chapel and College Streets). Classes begin at 7:3O PM. and finish at 9:30 PM. The average subject taught takes about one hour with time for smoke between classes.
 SUBJECTS TAUGHT
 ''Workers' Problems and Ma tional Defense" is one of the sub- jects that will be taught. Is your grocery bill going up? How about wages? Will there be unemploy- ment due to priorities? Can you get a house to live in? How about occupational diseases? These and many other problems will be dis cussed by a group of outstanding speakers.

ROCKBESTOS

Local B-90, Electrical Workers. has contacts now working inside Rockbestos. The management has moved to side-track the urge for unionization there by giving the em- ployees 1O@o wage increase. Joseph l. Rourke, business agent, reported that the employees are not getting a union rate even with the added 104o. Our International" Rourke declared. has agreements with 40 wire and cable shops employing 75,O00 workers. Our members are assured seniority rights, the union shop and generally improved working conditions. Women receive a 54 cent minimum and men oo cents per hour, with top rates of 20 cents. Rockbestos doesn't meet our top by 30 cents. In other words. the unorganlzed workers in the plant can only achieve our minimuns at best"
 Al Desser, assigned here by the Washington office of the A.FL wishes to thank the students and Pro- lessor Liston Pope of the Yale Divin- ity School for their splendid co-opera- tion with the drive.

CLOSED SHOP HELPS EMPLOYER

HE American Council Public Affairs has made public
 study of labor conditions which concludes that abor laons considerably smoother result of the closed shOp.''
 The study made for the research organization by the Rev. Jerome L. Toner of the faculty of St. Martins College the Catholic University He worked under the supervision of the Rev. Francis Haas, dean of the unvers school of social science and special commissioner of concaton in the Labor Department and the Right Rev. John Ryan, di- of the social action department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference.
 Other conclusions reached were:
 Approximately 3,OOOO 900 organized workers under closed shop contracts.
 Closed shop conditions dominant in the coal clothng printing building trades brewery, motion picture meta and glass industries
 Grade unions have demonstrated genuine responsibility under closed shop and have contributed substan tially to the improvement of production.
 The closed shop will probably be the rule rather than the exception within the decade"

POLITICAL QUESTIONS

POLITICAL QUESTIONS
 I served in 1903 as the first vice president of the Colorado Federation and in 1907 was elected it's secretary treasurer. During my terms of office l confined my efforts almost entirely to what such offices were created for, political questions, and found plenty to do. HOW TO ELECT LABOR LECIS-
 LATORS
 It was the custom at election times and during the sessions of the legislature for both the presi- dent and secretary of the Colorado Federation to be placed on salary and to devote all their time to Ia- bor candidates and labor legisla- ton. When nominations were made we would visit the different places where union candidates were running for office and work for their election. For instance. we would visit the different unions and speak at the meetings for the candidates. It had a great effect. During one session we had one- third of the entire membership of the legislature made up of union men and women, with the result that we got many labor bills passed which we had had been unable to do in previous sessions.
 CONNECTICUT
 With the large number of members of the lower house in both Connecti- cut and New Hampshire, I can read fly see the difficulty our labor legis- lative agents have in getting our meas ures enacted.
 Looking at the constitutions of two midwestern Federations, I found there was a section that stated, "No po- litical questions can be discussed in the conventions" etc. Being invited to address the conventions, I confined my remarks mostly to those sections of their constitutions and gave them some history of this part of the labor movement, with the result in both in stances, they struck that section out of their constitutions.
 GOOD FEDERATIONS
 There are, however, many very effective State Federations with competent officers and we can be thankful to them for much of the humanitarian and progressive leg islation we enjoy. Because when one State writes such acts into their State statutes, it is much easier for other States to gain them.

 The workers at the waterfront plant of the High Standard Man. ufacturing Co. are demanding an immediate election. However, the organizing committee is wait ing for their authorizations to reach figure which will insure decisive majority in both plants. The management was forced recently to dissolve it's company union on an order from the Labor Board.
 The men are particularly in- censed over the re-timing of jobs in the new piece-wOrk set-up. Organizers from the Council are meeting regularly with the key men.
 In response to the radio ad- dress made last Friday night by the American Federation of La Dor over Station WELL, New Ha- ven, many requests for Organiza- tiOn have come in.

 We give you our word 1t will go no further" Tony said, and Paula agreed.

 "Kilo's unclep"
 Lud nodded. -Four years ago, when the president of Cardman retired, Big Barney tried to hand pick Q successor. He pulled every string, but he failed. The Board wanted an educator, not q politi- clan. pr. Van Horn was chosen. Big Barney has lots Of power; since then he's used every ounce of 1t to discredit tho present ad- mirliStratlon."

 Lud continued: Recently two of the Board died and were re- placed by Big Barncy'S party hacks, He now has the power to oust Dr. Van Horn but hc doesn't dare try 1t without q reason. Van Horns record iS too good. But If dissension should spring up here, something too violent for Van Horn to handle ." Lud shrugged. "You can see for your selves ."
 Paulas eyes flashed. "Then you think Kilo is using the League to help her uncle2"

CHAPTER ri

First Lieutenant Boynton, 9th In
fantry, lay sprawled on the ground,
his eyes strained into the first gray
ing light of approaching dawn.
Above the thunder of the enemy ar
tillery preparation he could feel the
pounding of his heart against the
drums of his ear.
Behind that curtain of fire and
thunder Boynton knew the Van Has
SEX infantry was moving forward to
the assault. From his position out
In front Of the American outpost line
it was Boynton's job to discover
the attack and fall back to the out
post with twenty rihemen of his who
lay Immediately behind him.
Boynton's eyes caught an instant's
glimpse of infantry, men si1houetted
against the sheet-lightning of artil-
lery flashes. Not more than a hun
dred yards away he estimated the
enemy infantrymen. He slipped the
safety lock of his service automatic
and lifted the weapon IN front Of
his face. His men, long tense and
ready, fitted the butts of their new
semi-automatic rifles against their
shoulders and waited.
Like ship looming suddenly ous
of thick fog there came into view
the weaving shadows that were the
flesh and blood of moving infantry.
A squirt of flame leaped from the
muzzle of Boynton's pistol. It re-
leased the pent-up rage Of twenty
Garand rifles which sent stream
of lead pouring into those shadows Of
the night.

intact. The American pilots were
sharply alert against a second such
surprise. Reinforcements flew I'D
from Kelly Field.
Overhead the American aviation
was redoubling its efforts. Pursuit
and observation squadrons had flown
N from Louisiana and Virginia. 9th
er planes were en- route from Cali
fornia
AT the division command post,
General Mole and his staff grinnly
watched the fading light of day.
There was Tightening of tension
throughout the sectors as dusk slow
ly engulfed them and deepened into
night. Long-range artillery pounded
away laconically, tearing great era
tiers In the Seconds artillery area
and hitting near the divisions main
line Of resistance, and back in the
bivouacs of the reserves. This told
Mole that enemy observation planes
had photographed his positions In
detail-and confirmed the hint of
what must be expected during the
night
Evident 1t was, as the enemy pur-
pose unfolded itself, that Van Has
SEX did not mean to brook delay.
With the preponderance of force held
by his main Laredo column he had
no need to wait. For that matter It
hardly made sense, within the Van
Hassek line Of military reasoning,
that the Second Division would COM
NIT the brash audacity of serious
fight IN front of San Antonio. With
drawal would be only the logical
course for the Americans, and Van
Hassek had no reason to expect
anything more than a few holding
battalions at daybreak, resistance
that would roll UP In a hurry and
scatter before his massed assault
waves
"Bombers flying in, altitude be-
tween eight thousand and ten thou
sand feeti"
The warning came In from an OBJ
servation plane few minutes after
nine o'clock It merely confirmed
Mole's fears. Fast on the heels of
the warning came the devastating
roar of a heavy bomb. The earth
churned under the roar of success
sive explosions. A squadron of nine
bombers, air service reported, US
ing an estimated three-hundred-
pound bomb which would have a
