nee MILADY’S BONNET WORKERS SLAVE IN DUSTY SHOPS QTen-Hour Dey; Milinery Girl’s Lot By WORKER CORRESPONDENT Not being able to find work at my trade, I took a job as an apprentice In one of the millinery shops down- town, The shop was a small dusty room, with the machines on one side and the cutting table on the other, The trimming table was in the center of the room. The tables and machinery. were so close together that it was a ierd task to walk around in the room without knocking something down. I was put on piece work as a trim- mer, working ten hours a day. We started at 8 in the morning and left the shop about six in the evening. No time was allowed for lunch. You had to put your lunch on the table and ‘take a few bites every once in a while, ‘The first day my pay was $1.20, the jacond, $1,40, and on the third day 1.40, This did not discourage me tt I wanted to learn the trade, But the forelady, also the proprietess, told “me work was slack and laid me off for ® week. The experienced trimmers were all Er girls. They get such small wages, they do not work there long. The Pprentice girls receive no wages the fst week. The second week they re- sive $10 and on the third they get 14, Small, stuffy, dusty cages into Which the workers are packed in for 10-hours at a stretch hustling their life Sway. No pay for apprentices and low wages for experienced milliners. All this can and should be abolished by organizing a union. It is only thru unity of the workers can be abolish the conditions that prevail in the open-shop millinery shops. Wrap your lunck in a copy of the DAILY WORKER and give ft (the DAILY WORKER, not the lunch) to your shop-mate. OUR DAILY ‘butcher Zankov’s ZANKOV SENDS AGENTS #0 AMERICA ' ..TO WAR ON BULGARIAN MILITANTS The terror Zankov government of Bulgaria a sent agents to America in the guise of ministers, priests, consuls, students and secretaries to destroy the influence of the Bulgarian and Macedonian Communists who escaped the clutches of its secret polfce, During the reprisals following the bombing ‘of the Sveti Kral cathedral, where 150 officers were killed, many workers were forced to flee from Bul- garia, lands. Agents were sent to every country where they suspected that some of the workers “may have esca- ped. In America, there is a large colony of Macedonian and Bulgarian work- ers, that has repeatedly shown its contempt and ‘hatred for the Zankov government. During the past two years over $12,000 were collected for the victims of the white terror of bul- garia, That is why especial attention has been given to the “lost brothers over the séa.” Emissary Hissed Their’ first emissary was hissed by the Bulgarian workers at every pub- Ne showing that he made in America. He received but little aid and com- fort. Their second, Srebren Pop Petroff, a deputy of the Bulgarian parliament openly fighting the revolutionary movement in Bulgaria, tried to pose as an ardent Macedonian revolution- ist in America. His career proved to be very short. The following state- ment was made in his report to the central committee: “Our brothers in America are lost, The devil (Communist International) The Zankov govefnment feared the tales which these escaped work- ers might tell to the workers of other + has got hold of them. We can not depend on them.” A “Journalist” Enters The third emissary to be sent was Yordan Tchkatroff, who led the Zan- kovites in their struggle to destroy the Stambolinski g-vernment and led the white guards against the peasants and workers in the September up- rising. He came to this country as a “journalist,” on a special pass. He was twice granted an extension of time by the state department of the United States. Now he is allowed to stay in the country indefinitely, re- gardless of the quota law. He is the present editor of the official organ of the Macedonian political organization and is attempting to destroy the re- volutionary movement among the Ma- |} cedonian and Bulgarian workers in America, Man more are working secretly in the country and it is expected that such incidents as the murdering of Thodor Panitza at Wicna and Peter Schouler at Milan, Italy, will be du- Plicated by Zankov’s agents in Amer- ica in their attempt to annihilate the revolutionary movement.

This makes the Central Chicago's only popular priced playhouse, bring the legitimate theater within range of prices charged for the better motion pictures. A roster of the best of recent Broad- Way successes will be shown for a Mmited engagement of four weeks for each play, Some plays will be held over for a longer time. Special pro- ductions will be made for each show- ing. Special casts of the best profes- Bionals will be engaged for the var- ious plays. The central will thus serye a two fold purp It will in any cases bring to Chicago plays that were pro- duced in the east but not given a Chicago showing. It will give theater- goers an opportunity to see other plays that were successes in Chicago at lower cost than the original pro- duction, yet with the same excellence of performance. The new policy of popular prices is expected to result in increased patronage sufficient to sive Chicago a truly representative repertory theater. This announcement of the change in policy is made with the engaging of Harry Minturn ‘to stage the plays. Mr. Minturn is well Known as both a stage director and ait actor. He is at present also playing the feature part of The Old Soak supported by an able cast of veteran profession- als including Dorothee Bates, Doro- thy Fay, Richard Farrell, Carlos In- slee, Karl Way, Shirley Warde, Cora King and Walter Poulter. The present production of The Old Soak is limited to October 3rd. American Legion to Control Education Week Set for November WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept, 24.— The American Legion Education Week program will be forced upon the children in the public school this year in the week of Nov, 16 to 22.

This can be seen from the following sample program suggested for several cities: Monday, The Constitution; Tuesday, Patriotism; Wednesday, School and Teacher; Thursday, Conservation and Thrift; Friday, Know Your School; Saturday, Community and Health; and Sunday, For God and Country.

SUBJECT: “NEW RUSSIAN LITERA TURE” HOUSE OF THE MASSES, Gratiot, corner St. Aubin, Detroit, Mich, at ac Weluscasy, September 30, 8 P. M. WORKING WOMEN OF DETROIT T0 PRODUCE “R, U. R,” DETROIT} Mich., Sept. 24—A play of deep working class interest will be given before a workers audience in a working class center when “R. U. R. comes to the House of the Masses, and Halsted| Which get Sunday, Sept. 27. The play is to be expertly given. The company obtained is the Detroit Reportory Theater) company, which gave the playin itssown theater last year, It will be given at the House of the Masses under the auspices of the Detroit Federation of Working Class Women's Organizations. The workitig’* women of Detroit have not yet organized players from their ‘own ranks. In this instance they are bringing an’expert company into a working’ class educational and agitational center’ to perform a sig- nificant play. “R. U. R.” has been widely review- ed in the press generally, altho con- servative propagandists have looked askance at its meannig. One of the “R's” in the title stands for “Robots,” the name in the play given to work- ers in industry who become as stand- ardized as the products they turn out. Not only are they wage slaves. They are puppets. This phase of the play is a satire on the machine age of to- day. But the play also shows how class consciousness and the spirit of revolt develop in Robots. The House of the Masses is equip- ped with a stage and ample property. The performance will mark a quick- ening this fall of the varied activities at the House. Working men, womtn and children will pack the hall when the curtain rises on “R, U. R.” The net proceeds will be devoted to Inter- ternational Labor Defense.

DR. RASNICK DENTIST 645 Smithfield Street PITTSBURGH, PA, OVSKY WALL STREET.IN HAGGLING MATCH WITH FRANCE British Plan Will Be Offered WASHINGTON, | Sept! 23.—Irrespec- tive of rumors and reports, and the mass of conflicting data relative to France’s ability to pay her war debt of approximately $4,000,000,000, mem- bers of the American debt funding commission today “ expressed confi- dence that an agreement will be reached within ten days, and that when finally consummated it will not differ very materially from the British plan of settlement, What the American negotiators ex- pect from M. Caillaux and his collea- gues, after the social amenities are ended, is a brief, intensive effort to obtain the most advantageous terms possible, and ghen the signing of an agreement. The British Plan At the outset of the negotiations under way tomorrow, France will be offered the same basis for settlement that was accepted by Great Britain—a scale of annual pay- ments on the principal, beginning with a modest figure, and then gra- dually increasing jn size over a period of 62 years, the whole to bear inter- est at a rate approximating 3% per cent. In the case of the British, the initial payment was $23,000,000, and even now, two years later, is only $24,000,000, so gradual is the increase. Treasury officials believe—and are prepared to back up their belief with their own statistics—that France can manage such a settlement without un- due hardship or difficulty, In this connection, it was pointed out today that France will secure this year: approximately $151,000,000 from Germany under the operation of the Dawes plan. Next year she is to receive approximately the same amount, and in succeeding years con- siderably more, ranging up to $300,- 1 000,000, Build the DAILY WORKER with subs. Forecast Cotton Crop.
