, Tuesday, February 19, 1924 —— “THE DAILY WORKER MANY FIRETRAP Youth Views SCHOOLS FOUND IN NEW YORK CITY eae Show Conditions Rotten * sy 3° in 40 Buildings (Special to The Dilly Worker) _NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—New York, like Chicago, has scores of fire trap public schools. Sanitary con- ditions and fire hazards in many of the schools here are as bad as those described in the DAILY WORKER survey of Chicago schools, The joint committee of education has just completed a survey of more than forty schools where they de- clare conditions are rotten. The re- port points out lack of fire preven: tion, bad lighting, overcrowding, and unsanitary conditions, The survey completed is the fourth made by the committee, The com- mittee was able by repeated check- ups to get needed repairs in some schools, In the fourth survey the same schools were visited but a new group of thirteen schools were added. The survey indicated that while the forty schools which had been surveyed four times were getting re- pairs, the thirteen school buildings added in the last survey were in very bad condition, The committee said that this indicated that an effort had been made because of publicity but no real concern was manifested about the general condition of the schools. “Schools surveyed for the first time this year where the committee feels there is urgent need for better condi- tion are: “Manhattan—P. S, 50: Menace to health, fire protection nil, sanitary conditions bad,. P, S,—26: Sani- tary facilities poor, everything in bad repair, factory next door a bad situa- tion. P. S, 33: Shocking sanitary conditions, lighting bad, surrounding streets dangerous, “Brooklyn—P. S, 28: Disastrously overcrowded, bad general repair. Annex to P, S. 17: Disreputable old ferry boat, in worst possible condi- tion; sanitation especially bad, An- nex to P. S, 33, formerly annex to P. S17; Old structure built around court, unsafe wooden balcony and shaky wooden stairs the only exit leading into court, which in turn has but one small exit—possible fire trap. “Bronx—P, S. 14: Serious over- crowding, lighting bad, no play space. P.S.18: Artificial lighting bad, lacks modern sanitation, ga eis _ dumped opposite school by neighbors and left several days at a time.” Catholics Fight Unions. FULDA, Germany, Feb. 18,—At a meeting of Catholic bishops recently held here, the threat of excommuni- cation was hurled at workers who dare join the free trade unions of Germany, which are frankly Com- munist or social-democratic, “If Catholics, despite warning, and altho membership in another organ- ization (i. e., a. Catholic union) is possible for them, persist in remain- ing members of the free trade un- ions, they are to be barred from re- ceiving the sacraments.” By HARRY GANNES Coolidge Classes Child Labor with Booze. Classing the exploitation of the 2,500,000 child workers in thia coun- try with dope and liquor, Strike- breaker Coolidge, completely dodged the issue of the abolition of child labor in his first message to con- er He is for a “limitation of child labor,” “for purposes of national uni- formity.” The fact that the millions of children are in jeopardy of life and limb in dangerous mines, shops and factories is of no concern to the anti-labor president. Noolidge’s recommendations to congress are entirely in harmony with the actions of the United States Supreme Court on the two occasions in which they threw out two national anti-child labor laws. Anti-child labor legislation, declar- . the Supreme Court, was a matter for state action , and the federal government should not intervene in regulations affecting the life and limb of. the children, Coolidge declares that the carrying out of any law would be a question for local consid- eration plus the “power of enforce- ment in the influence of public opinion,” Experience has shown that even with definite anti-child labor laws, in many states, providing for appro- priations for factory inspectors, such laws were not carried out. The first need us expressed by Coolidge for his magnanimous opin- ion that child labor should be treated as booze, is that it “would secure greater continuity of production.” In other words, would benefit the fac- tory owners, oolidge’s message definitely proves that the oppressed children can expect nothing from the boss’s government to relieve their aching backs from immature labor. Samuel Gompers’ agitation against child labor has resulted, not in get- ting the masses of workers them- selves interested in the abolition of this admitted evil, but precisely in the statement of Coolidge. More than ever, al] working class organizations should intensify their activities against child labor, as no help can be expected from Washing- ton. The present administration takes into account primarily the cost to the manufacturers and to the finance capitalists, and considers not at all the bitterness of the children labor- ing under the blistering sun in the South, or the unhealthy factories in the North, Middle Class Wakes Up.

THE ROSE-BUSH By HERMINIA ZUR MUHLEN (Synopsis: A beautiful rose bush, owned by a rich lady, in a hig, white house, had talked with her friend, the Wind. The Wind had told her how the rich people own everything and never work. The ro: bush had decided to go on strike and not look beautiful for the benefit of the rich lady.) Then fol.owed bad days for the Rose-bush, for she had decided not to drink any water, that she might tease blooming. When her friend .came with the water-pot she drew her little roots close ‘to herself, that no drops might touch them, Ah, ‘how she suffered; she thought “she would faint. In the day-time the sun shone, and she became more chirsty every hour, always longing more for water, And, et last, at evening came the longed-for drink. out “she dared not sip the full draught, she had to turn away from the cool pervious on to. thi again, After a while she thought she could not endure it. But the wind came fiyi fanning hi forting her, ging softly pnd rently, “Be brave, be brave! You will conquer!” Day after day the Rose-bush ae Palace tebe ee in wi ve ev- erything they pees and then wooked at the street, where others passed by with thin, pale faces that were tired and sad, and this brought hew strength to her heart, She became constantly more sick and more weak; her arms hung down feebly, her blossoms dropped their petals, her leaves became wrinkled and yellow, The man who tended ‘her watched her sadly and asked, “What is wrong, my poor} ‘ried. every Rose-bush?” and he remedy he knew of to help her. But all in vain. One mornii in- stead of a*handsome, blooming bush, he found a miserable, with- sred, dead by That could not remain there, the ne branches and fore aon handsome gare. ad tol commat that the Rose- tush: be thrown out, As the man UIST CHI A dug her up, the Rose-bush gathered her remaining strength and whis- pered beseechingly, “Take me home, please, please take me home!” The. man fulfilled her wish. He planted the Rose-bush in a flower pot and took her to the poor, smal: room where he lived. His sick wife sat tae bed and said, “Ah, the poor se-bush, she is as sick as I am, but you will nurse us both back to health,” The withered leaves and twigs moaned, “water! water!” And the man understood them and brought in a jar of water. The Rose-bush drank. Qh! what delight it was! E ly her roots sucked up the water, the delicious moisture pass- ing thru all’ her branches gaye her new life. The next morning she could up her branches; the sick woman was as happy as a child and cried, “She will get well.” And the Rose-bush really got well, In a short while she again became eo beautiful that the poor litte room was as fragrant as 4a gar- irst|/den, The pale cheeks of the wom- rosier every day, her was returning. ‘The Rose. made me well,” said she, the flowers oy earns ‘lowed deep wi joy ie heard these The man and his wife were kind people, the lit- tle they and carefully broke off some roses to joy to tired people in other lonely rooms.

The whole world will belong to‘ those who work,, the whole world!” SAXONY TOILERS VOTE HEAVILY FOR COMMUNISM Treachery of Socialists Defeats Workers (Special to The Daily Worker) DRESDEN, Feb. 18.—In the mu- nicipal elections which took place in Saxony last month the Communist Party doubled, and in some cases tripled, its votes of the last elec- tions, and it made these tremendous gains under the sabre of General Seeckt’s dictatorship, for the Com- munist Party has been officially “dis- solved” by the military dictatorship now ruling Germany, and is an out- law party. The social-democratic party suf- fered a disastrous defeat in the elec- tions, losing in many places as much as 50 per cent of its vote of the last elections, The capitalist parties won the elections with a combined vote that was greater than the tota] num- ber of votes received by the Commun- ists, the social-democrats and the in- dependent socialists, Socialists Lose, In one sense these elections mean a reversal of the last elections, in that the capitalist parties have come out ahead. The treachery of the so- cial-democrats in sabotaging the revolution, in playing into the hands of the capitalists, has discouraged many workers and especially the lower middle class elements and has thrown them into the arms of the capitalist parties. But on the other hand tens of thousands of workers have flocked to. the Communists, they have given a clear answer to the provocative measures of the white dictatorship. The bayonets of the Reichswehr did not deter the workers of Saxony from piling up votes for the “dissolved” Communist Party, In Dresden the Communists receiv- ed 89,500 votes as against 27,000 in the year 1922. The social-democrats received 81,000 votes as against 93,000 in 1922. The gains for the Communists and the losses for the social-democrats are not, so marked in Dresden as in other cities, such as Leipzig or Chemnitz which are more industrial. In Chemnitz, for instance, the votes of the Communists were al- most equal to those received by the social-democrats, as the Communist Party received 31,000 votes and the social-democratic party, 35,000 votes. In Leipzig, the Communists received 69,000 votes, the social-democrats, 91,000, Of those elected, 24 are of the capitalist parties, 7 are demo- crats, 7 are of the Cerman people's party, 19 social-democrats, 14 munists and 2 independent socialists. In Zwickau, 8. Communists were elected, as against 3 in the last elec- tions. Last Capitalist Bulwark. The social-democratic traitors have felt the wrath of the masses, for the masses realize that the social-demo- cratic party is largely to blame for the military dictatorship now in Ger- many. The masses feel that the so- cial-democratic party is the last bul- wark of the capitalist class, blocking the proletarian revolution which will end the present misery in Germany, The social-democratic party has suf- fered a crushing defeat, and it is now well on the road to complete disso- lution, The masses are leaving the once mighty social-democratic party and are flocking to the Communist party, tho many are still deluded and have thrown their support to the capitalists. However, there are signs that even the lower middle class ele- ments are realizing that the only sal- vation is for all non-capitalist ele- ments to accept the leadership of the bo subi Mi net) Communists in the fight against capi- talist rule, which is keeping Germany in the abyss of suffering. It is be- coming clear to them that there is no middle ground, Workers Gain Hope. The situation in Germany is very discouraging when the Reichswehr entered Saxony and drove out the la- bor government. On top of that the Communist ren was officially “dis- solved” all over Germany by the mili- tary dictatorship. The munist Party was outlawed by the order of General von Seeckt. The German working class suffered a defeat in Germany, But the elections in Sax- ony Wing: back hope, give back cour- age to the Communists to lead the Reo against the rule of the bayonet. ie workers have shown that they have not lost confidence in the Com- munist Party, and that they are ready to give more than bara that they are ready to give their blood in the proletarian revolution which is in- evitable in Germany. The an. workers are not crushed. The mu- nicipal elections in Saxony are an in- dication that the German working el still has the undying will for revolation, Kansas Labor for Political Unity and Russian Recognition (Speeial to The Daily Worker) PITTSBURG, Kans., Feb. 18,—-The Pittsburg United Trades and Labor Council passed a resolution at a re- cent meeting calling for a united la- bor front in the political field. The resolution favored immediate recogni- tion of Russia.

Japanese Loan May Reach the Figure ‘of $250,000,000 By FREDERICK KUH (Staff Correspondent of the Federated Press) NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—The inter- national loan to Japan, the bulk of which will be floated by Wall Street, | as reported in The Federated Press, will be placed on the market this week and will probably total about $259,900 . The deal is stated to be the largest venture in financing ever undertaken, beyond internal government loans. The share of American banking houses will be divided between J. P. ‘Morgan & Co., Kuhn, Loeb & Co., the National City bank, the First National bank, and lesser monopolists of credits, An agent of the Morgan group has been engaged in conver- sations with London financiers, with the result that seven British bank~- ing corporations have been enlisted in the enterprise, Kengo Mori, a fi- nancial delegate of the Tokio gov- ernment, has been in New York, con- cluding the transaction which will re- cast international relations and transform the foreign policy of the United States government. Informed observers here assert that this colossal investment of American private capital in Japan will cause a precautionary speeding up of con- struction in United States naval yards. It is thought likely, more- over tol over, that America’s naval and mili- tary contingents in China will be reinforced, as a hint of the govern- ment’s determination to safeguard these augmented American invest- ments in the far east, It may be expected, then, that the ordinary American taxpayer will soon feel the effect of this. loan in increased expenditures for the naval. and mili establishments, To this effect must be added the implication that the ernment at Washington is prepared to defend by armed force if the emergency arises, the privi- leges of Wall Street abroad. It is generally believed that chances of a German loan here are diminished, now that the American market is to be saturated with the issue of Japanese bonds.

Press Industrial Editor) The extent to which irresponsible employers move tens of thousands of workers like pawns from one part of the world to another and then leave them stranded to look for jobs in an overstocked labor market, is revealed in the January employment report of the Illinois department of labor. The labor surplus which has been developing in the state since last June jumped in January to the high- est point since March, 1922. During the month more than 20,000 per- sons applied to the free employment offices for jobs while places could be found for less than 10,000. Official- ly the state as a whole showed 166 persons registered for each 100 jobs reported vacant. In December 146 persons applied for each 100 jobs. Laid Off Workers. At the same time the number of factory employes in the state fell 1% % below the level of the previous year. Reports from 1,192 employers with more than 40 per cent of the total factory workers of the state on their pay rolls show a decrease of 1.8 per cent in the total number of employes. Since the peak of employ- ment in June these concerns have laid off 6% per cent of their workers. If they are typical of Illinois indus- try as a whole this indicates that over 51,000 factory workers in the state have lost their jobs since the middle of 1923. Probably the most important change during the 30-day period, says the report, has been the collapse of car building. On top of the break in’ December in this industry the de- cline of January left only about three- quarters of the workers on the pay rolls of 14 reporting employers. Seasonal Employment. Employment changes of a seasonal character include decreases of 4.3 per cent in the number employed by brick concerns and of 5 per cent in the furniture factories. Also in- creases of 4.2 per cent in the number of employes of millinery establish- ments and of 34.8 per cent in the women’s coats, suit and skirt indus- | try. In the men’s clothing trades there was a slight increase following the 7,6 per cent increase during December. Other important changes include reductions in force amounting to 3.4 per cent in the steel industry and 4.5 per cent in the slaughtering and meat packing industry contrasting with a 7 per cent increase in the num- ber employed by automobile and ac- cessory concerns. Farmers Can't Compete. The report warns against attribut- ing too much importance to an em- ployment decline and a giutted labor market in January. It points out that the overstocked labor market at a time when employment is still fair- ly high is due to an expanded supply coming from the following four sources: (1) Farmers have been financially unable to bid against in- dustry for labor and as a mer farm (2) coal mines in Illinois and adja- cent states have shut down throwing hundreds out of work. Many miners have been driven to the extremity of seeking work in the large cities; (3) Negroes attracted north by improv- ing industrial conditions are throng- ing free employment agencies in Chi- cago and East St. Louis which are the terminals of southern and south- western railroads; (4) Mexican la- borers have come in large numbers to Chicago and the vicinity where they are being used to do the un- skilled labor in Chicago plants, The, migration during the year from these four sources, says the port, has so swelled the supply of dal that when industry contracted the visible extent of unemployment in some of the larger cities approach- ed the condition that exists during a depression. Teachers in High Schools Fight the Two-Shift System The high school teachers are oppos- ed to the shift system in the schools and the long day because both are detrimental to scholarship, Carl A. Hoffman, representing the high school teachers told the school plan commission.

Senate Will Probe Price | of Bread! Oil Can (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—The Senate has instructed the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the price of bread and activities of the | Bread Trust. | A resolution of Senator LaFollette, calling for a full inquiry, was |adopted without a record vote. | In a preamble to the resolution La- Follette charged that “a huge merger of baking companies” had made a national monopoly of bread produc- tion. “Prices are artifically maintained at excessive prices in many cities,” the resolution said. Senator’ Wadsworth (N. Y.) ob- jected to the statements in the pre- amble and LaFollette agreed to strike them out so that the body of the resolution could go thru. The resolution as passed author- izes the commission to go into the sale, production and distribution of bread and report fully its findings to the Senate. It also authorizes in- vestigation of efforts at price fixing. The resolution sets forth these charges; The price of bread is being main- tained at substantially the level of war prices, while wheat has declined to pre-war levels. Bread made of American flour is seling in England at an average, re- tail price of 4 cents a pound, as com- pared with an average of 8.7 cents in the United States, Excessive prices have caused a de- crease in consumption of bread in the United States amounting to 44 loaves per capita annually. Bill Haywood in Moscow Lectures onl. W. W. History By GERTRUDE HAESSLER. Staff Correspondent of the Federated Press MOSCOW, Feb. 18,—-With the ob- ject of drawing into Russian life the foreigners living in Russia, keeping them informed about events in Rus- sia (few foreigners here can read the newspapers), and acquainting them with the revolutionary progress in their own countries, the Central Im- migrants’ club has been formed in Moscow. There are separate sec- tions for the various languages. The Anglo-Saxon section has been active for about three months con- ducting lectures and classes. The 70 |Einglish speaking immigranis at the Amo automobile factory in Moscow have had the opportunity of study- jing Russia under the auspices of the jsection, It is intended to hold classes jin Marxian economics as soon as classrooms can be found. Every Sunday night the Anglo- Saxon section holds a .aeeting which is addressed by a speaker in English, These lectures are open to the pub- lic and admittance is free. For in- stance, there are lectures on Russian industry and the crisis by the acting editor of Izvestia; by Stewart, dele- gate to the Third International from Great Britain; by Bill Haywood on { so on fascism in Italy. Pension Scheme on Montreal Tramways to Start July Ist (By The Federated Press) MONTREAL, Feb, 18.—July first is the provisional date set for initia- tion of the pension scheme which has been under negotiation between the Montreal Tramways Co. and local officers of the Amalgamated Asso- ciation of Street and Electric Rail- way Employes. The pension is to tbe based, not on. the wage of the in- dividual, but on the average wage paid to all employes. On this average eacn pensioned employe will get 2 per cent for each year of his service, For example, if he has worked for 25 years and the average wage is $1,500, his pension will be $750 per annum. The age at ‘been fixed; the company has pro- posed 60 years of age; while the men suggest any age after 20 years’ service. The plan provides for half pay during sickness. If an employe dies, the widow is to get $500 if he has served three months, plus $100 |for each year’s employment up to a maximum of $2,500, Hope for Roberts. PITTSBURGH, Pa.

The incriminating letter was from one of the branches of the Comite des Forges, the French steel trust, to its customers demanding payment in pounds sterling for orders. Humbert de Wendel, the head of the trust that controls two-thirds of the steel production of Europe and is considered mainly responsible for the occupation of the Ruhr, rose to reply to the radical deputy, He explained that he did not keep the pounds sterling acquired by export, but sold them for francs with which to pay his workmen. This statement infuriated the left side of the chamber and a rough house took place. It was pointed out that the Frencli _ millionaires were following in the footsteps of the German magnates, Herren, Stin- nes, Wolff and Thysen, fn selling abroad at dollar and pound sterling prices, As Poincare is as closely connec- ted with Wendel as Calvin Coolidge is with Fall, Denby and Daugherty, this scandal will, it is believed, has~ ten the French premier’s downfall. This is the first time a scandal of this kind occurred in French indus- try. It is not surprising that the franc should totter if those who own France show no confidence in the stability of their own currency. If the premier succeeds in put- ting thru his taxation bill he may last until the elections in the spring, but it is the general opinion that as soon as the French workers and peasants get a chance to vote on his government they will hand him his hat.
