wee UAILY WORKER WORKERS SCHOO PUTS STRESS ON | ENGLISH CLASS} Special Text E Books Are Being Prepared NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—An impor- tant part of the Workers’ School this year will be its classes in English. There will be classes in Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced English and in Public Speaking. Such well-known English teachers as Carl ®rodsky, Eli Jacobson, Sonia Ginsburg, Ray Bennet, Max Rock, Sonia Waldey, Pauline Rogers and Sonia Winett will be the instructors. Classes will be limited in size to twenty-five thus making it possible for each student to receive more in- dividual instruction. Evening Classes. ¢ As many evening classes as are needed will be formed as well as an Wnglish class in the day time for night workers. From registrations already handed in, three elementary, two in- termediate, one advanced English and one public speaking classes have been formed. Each class will have two sessions a week, each session be- ing 1 hour and 15 minutes long. For- eign-speaking comrades and workefs who wish to concentrate this year on English can do so by registering for two English classes. Special Textbooks. An interesting feature of the Eng lish classes this year will be the use of two new textbooks being prepared by the Workers’ School. For years the workers and foreigners in this country have lacked a simple and interesting book that could be used as a basis for their learning how to read, how to ex- press themselves, to spell and write correctly and yet not be full of cap- italist propaganda and childish, non- sensica] and dry in its nature, Themes based on the life of workers, contain- ing vocabulary that workers must use, interesting and realistic in approach are the center around which the dif- ferent lessons are based. The instructors of English in the Workers’ School, unlike those in the who are public or private schools, either hostile or indifferent to the struggle of the workers, are them- selves members of the Workers (Com- munist) Party and a part of the labor movement and therefore interested in helping the students as much as pos- sible. Foreigners Should Enroll. Every foreign-speaking worker who wishes to-do his share of work in the American labor movement, and every foreign-speaking member of the Work- ers (Communist) Party should re gister for and take a class in English in the Workers’ School. All English classes start the week of October 25. Register today at the Workers’ School headquarters, 108 East 14th Street, Room 35. For further infor- mation on the school, write to Ber- tram D, Wolfe, director at the same address.

Y, POLICE TERROR Asks Socialists for a Un- ited Labor Ticket NEW YORK, Oct. 10—In aetelegram sent to-the mayor, James G. Walker, the Workers (Communist) Party, thru Benjamin’ Gitlow, Communist candi- date for governor, denounces the New York police for their wholesale ar- rests of striking cloakmakers, The telegram declares that the New York police are lining up in the strug- lé on the side pf the manufacturers against the cloakmakers who are struggling to maintain their union and fight against the introduction of sweatshop labor. Ask United Labor Ticket, The Workers (Communist) Party, im view of the necessity of unity of all forces of labor in support of the cloakmakers’ fight against injunctions and police brutality, has invited the socialist party to join in a united labor ticket in the campaign, with one set of candidates backed by both par- | ties. The invitation is, in part, as fol- lows: “Socialist Party, “A East 15th Street, “New York, N. Y. “Dear Comrades:—A vicious un- junction has been issued against the 40,000 striking cloakmakers in the city of New York. The courts, the police, the governor of New York state—the entire state machinery has been brutally thrown on the side of the manufacturers in order to break this strike of the brave cloakmakers who have continued to battle against the manufacturers in spite of hunger and the brutal attacks of the police, A Vital Issue. “This struggle affects the vital in- terests not only of these 40,000 cloak- makers but of the entire needle trades and, if the injunction is to go unchal- lenged and undefeated, the labor movement of this city, state and na- tion will suffer a severe setback, “At this moment, more than ever before, the united power of the work- ing class must be thrown in support of the cloakmakers and a mighty re- sistance must be put up against these officials who use their offices to in- timidate workers and break strikes. At this time, more than ever, the workers must utilize their political power and put’up an aggressive fight with all the strength at their com- mand in order to hearten labor and give courage to these striking work- ers in their battle against great odds. Program For United Action. “We propose a common program and one set of candidates of the so- cialist party and the Workers (Com- *|munist) Party for one joint campaign on the issues: 1.

JANUARY 13 5 1927 “s SUPERINTENDENT ISIN LEAGUE WITH CAPITALISTS Support ‘‘Pure” Press to Save Country By a Worker Correspondent JANESVILLE, Wis., Oct. 10— A ,|clean giveaway of the class nature of the Associated Press and 1,200 mem- ber newspapers, and of the tieup be- tween religion and capitalism was divulged by E. T, Cutter, Chicago, superintendent of the central division of the Associated Press and one of the “big guns” in this service, at a meeting of Wisconsin newspapermen and the town bankers and business men here. “Concerned” About Reds, Cutter, whose favorite recreation is addressing conferences of Methodist preachers on the “service” of his in- stitution, was quite concerned about what the “bolsheviks’ might do to the country. “If we are to save the country, from the bolsheviks, it must be by a def- inite co-operative effort between the business world, the higher education- al institutions, religion, and the press,” he declared quite shamelessly. Todies to Government. The “non-partisan” nature of the Associated Press was extolled, im- mediately followed by the declaration that “during the war, there was not a thing that the government wanted the Associated Press to do that it did not do.” Cutter said frankly that “day after day, night after night, we printed pub- licity by the yard.” Even the business men present snickered when Cutter said he knew newspapermen who started work with the prayer: “Lord, show me Thy way that I may walk therein.” “Deserve Support.” He made an intelligent observation when he said that ‘there is no group that more deserves the support of the merchants than the newspapermen.” Cutter scared the wits out of the businessmen by quoting an unnamed author as saying: “Unless there is a religious up- heaval in this country within the next few years, it will be in the hands of the bolsheviks.” He immediately proposed a remedy, however, It was more support for the newspapers printing the “pure (capitalist) news” of the Associated Press.

CONDITIONS AUGUR FOR VICTORY Urges Organization to Bring Druggists From Slave Condition By a Worker Correspondent, Oct. 10 to Oct. 20 has been set aside as pharmacy week. Pharmacy week was inaugurated by one of the big wholesale drug supply houses, John- son & Johnson, During this week, and before, millions will be spent in advertising, extolling the characters of the neighborhood druggists, Tt will be pointed out that the drug- gist is one who has spent much time and money in learning his trade, and that the public should think more of them and patronize them more, But they will not point out the slave conditions under which the druggist |. works. They work for a measly wage and are forced to work hours longer than those engaged in other trades. The average druggist must work nine hours a day, Sundays, holidays, late at night, and receive about ee cents an hour for his labor. The young boys who ase in the stores are even more exploited. Many work six or even seven hours a day after school for $5 a week. I know of one, 13 years old, who works for $2.50 a week, If a druggist doesn’t like his job and quits there are many others wait- ing to take his job, so the boss doesn’t |: worry. Organization is the only thing that will save the pharmacists, Think about this during pharmacy week. Form Booster Club for Daily Worker at Superior, Wisconsin By ARNOLD J. RONN, Worker Correspondent. SUPERIOR, Wis., Oct. 10.—Having read and received several appeals and being ‘anally convinced that some- thing ought to be done in a jiffy to raise money to keep The DAILY WORKER in existence, a number of our “live-wire” comrades were stirred into action, A meeting was held and the result was the formation of a DAILY WORKER Booster Club. This club was not organized merely to as- sist in The DAILY WORKER'S pres- ent drive for’ $50,000. It was organ- ized to furnish permanent relief by scaring up a bunch of subs, soliciting ads, selling literature, and so on, To date only one meeting has been held—the one at. which..the club was organized. Present at this meeting were such authorities as Comrades Matti Tenhunen and John Miller, bus- iness and advertising managers, re- spectively, of the Finnish daily, Tyomies, and others, True to old form (tho not merely to make it appear complicated) a few committees were elected, such as ex- ecutive, membership, entertainment, and by-laws, also a secretary, treas- urer, and last, but by no means least, a DAILY WORKER correspondent and publicity agent (that’s me). To acquire prestige, the consensts of opinion was that the club should be made “exclusive.” That is, we don’t expect to have our club considered a kindergarten or a dumping ground for those about to kick in from old age, who, it was figured, would at best be only in the way. Hence an age limit was suggested, “BLACK JACK” IS NAME OF BOSS BLOOD HOUN By S. GLOBERMAN | (Worker Correspondent.) SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Oct. 10- Black Jack Jerome,—where I fi heard this name was at the 27th Con« vention of the California State Feder. ation of Labor, held recently in Oak | land. Black Jack Jerome, was mentioned] at every session, and when the con: vention was over, the name Black? Jack Jerome was still ringing in my, ears. ‘Who is Black Jack Jerome? McDonald the president of tha! "Building Trades Council of California, explained and described the notorioug | character. i Black Jack. Jerome resides in Sen Francisco.. He is the heart and sout of the chamber of commerce, the minion of the Industrial Builders? Association. Black Jack Jerome is the, blood’ hound of the exploiters against ore’ ganized labor; during the carpenters’ | strike, which is still in progress, he} organized a gang of underworld chare} acters—equipped ‘them with gshot/ guns and were attacking the strikers, | Many victims: have fallen by his ore: ders. on his way home at his own stairway, These violences were carried on une, til McDonald went to the mayor and warned him that unless the Black} Jack Jerome band be denied the right to carry guns the strikers will arm, themselves and meet violence with | violence, When Black Jack Jerome had seer! that the mayor was not too anxious te! cooperate he organized a citizens com- mittee of one hundred who offered | their aid to the city authorities to stop the violence committed by the’ strikers. However, McDonald, exclaimed that not Black Jack Jerome nor the citizens committee of one hundred would be able to crush the carpenter strike in order to introduce the American Plan Company Union within the building trades. McDonald has also denounced the Supreme Court of the United States branding it as a tool of the California Builders’ Association. His speach was a ringing message which heralded in the hearts of four hundred delegates representing a hum dred thousand organized workers throughout the state of California. Cop Points Pistol at Running Striker But Fears to Shoot By J. N., Worker Correspondent. NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—The other morning while going to my work I wag a witness to the following tragi- comic happening: Right off Sixth ave- nue and 40th street one scab window cleaner was in the way of receiving some justly-earned beating by a couple of strikers. The cop appears and the strikers take to their heels, cop and ‘scabs after them. The strikers have been too fast to catch, so the “guard- ian of law” and capital pulls out his gun and points to the two fugitives, thinking to stop them., But they would not stop.

OF FARMER-LABOR PARTY IN RACE FOR GOVERNOR OF SOUTH DAKOTA By JOHN GABRIEL SOLTIS . BROOKINGS, S. D., Oct. 10.—The Farmer-Labor Party of South Dakota is putting on full steam ahead, with almost certain Prospects of electing the veteran warrior in the Farmer-Labor movement of this state, Tom Ayres, governor. A state Farmer-Labor conference was held last Friday at Huron, at which 40 leaders of the Farmer-Labor Party took part, representing all sec- tions of the state. The conference was also attended by Miss Lorraine Daley, who has just recovered from an illness lasting several months, and who made an inspiring address to the conference, notwithstanding her con- valescence. The conference was also attended by the editor of the United Farmer, Alfred Knutson of Bismarck, N. D. The backbone of the Farmer- Labor movement of the state was pres- ent, The conference outlined a campaign which will .arouse the producing classes of the state to rally to the support of the FarmersLabor Party, It subscriped to a campaign war chest and made arrangements to route vet- eran Farmer-Labor campaigners thru- out the state, Ayres Has Good Chance, Tom Ayres stands a good chance of election, it is admitted by all political observers, The republican party is split in the state. Carl Gunderson, the present republican governor, is opposed by John Hipple ag an inde- pendent candidate, He is editor of the Capital Journal, + published at Pierce, and his candidacy signalizes the rupture in the republican ranks, since he was a strong pillar in the gee id te roe The democrats are running William Bulow as their candidate, and he is slated to receive many votes of the lower strata of the republican bour- geoisie, owing to its disaffection with the state of things in the republican party. This situation is very favorable for the Farmer-Labor Party, as Miss Lor- raine Daley obtained 48,000 votes as a ‘armer-Labor candidate for governor in 1922, with the capitalist forces united. Farmers Suffer, The economic position of the South Dakota farmers is calculated to con- tribute to the success of Tom Ayres, The mortgage indebtedness on the farms of the state has reached the stupendous sum of $400,000,000, entail- ing an interest burden that many farmers are unable to bear, Tenantry in the stgte is steadily on the incredse, According to the United States de- partment of agriculture, 41.5 per cent of the farms in the state in 1925 were operated by tenants. Taxes have doubled during the last decade, while farm prices do not keep pace with the cost of the industrial products the farmer must buy. F} Many Barks Close, Over 250 fe and national banks in South Dakota have closed their banks have sustained a loss of over o “ hanalenbte doots and 100,000 depositors in these | N $50,000,000, the devosite of the produc- —and that is all, ers on the land. Capitalism has ad- ministered a terrific blow to the farm- ers of the state. The revolt is rising. Needless to note, the capitalist par- ties have no program to cope with a situation that they have created. The prospects were never so good of elect- ing a Farmer-Labor governor as they are at this time. Textile Industry of Soviet Union Doubles Last Year’s Extension MOSCOW (By. Mail).—The building and repairing, works in the textile in- dustry surpass nearly twice as much the works of the last year. There will be spent over 110,000,000 rubles for this purpose? The chief work consists of enlarg- ing the old factories, builging new ones, equipment with new machinery and construction of decent living quarters for workers, To Decide Goverfment ~ Ownership of Shipping WASHINGTON, Oct.10.—All hear- ings conducted by the U. 8. shipping board on ‘the issue of private or gov- ernment ownership as & future policy for the American merchant marine, advocates of government ownership and operation will take part, The hearings on future policy of ownership and operation were order- ed by the Jones resolution adopted by congress at its recent session, The main discussion will take place in Washington but. other hearings will be conducted in ten cities, including York, Chicago, Cleveland, Kan- City, Detroit, Minneapolis, Den- - and Portland, Ore, t One of the strikers was killed |, oF.
