PITTSBURGH, Pa.—The Industrial conference of the Pittsburgh ordnance district was held at the Garvo building, 302 Penn avenue, of representatives of 60 industries located In the Pitts- burgh district. The main theme of the discussion was how to change from peace-time to war-time status and turn to the manufacture of war material within the shortest period of time. Also how new and better ways of making ammunition and other war materials can be developed. The main speaker was Brig. Gen. C..L .H, Ruggles of Washington, as- sistant chief "of the United States ordnance department, who pointed out the government’s objective in the in- dustrial preparedness movement, and he paid particular attention to what would be expected from the Pittsburgh | district industries in the event of a declaration of war. ‘The discussion was participated in by some of the most vicious open shoppers and fight- ers of organized labor in Pennsylvania, such as Homer Williams, president of | the Pittsburgh Steel Company; Tay- lor Allderdice, vice-president of the National Tube Company; Lieut. Col. G. T. MeNiff, of the National Tube | Company, and Major G. Elkins Knable, of the Carnegie Steel Co, } ‘The conference was in charge of | Ralph M. Dravo, chief of the Pitts- burgh preparedness district, who is in charge of the Pittsburgh district, | which is one of the 14 permanent di- visions mapped out by the government | in its program of industrial prepared- ness, which the capitalist government would want us to think is a prepared- ness for a peace, when, in fact, it is a mobilization of industry for the slaughter of the youth. At the same time we have the In- PEACE MAKERS HOLD CONF ABS IN PITTSBURGH the direction of the World Alliance for International Friendship meeting in Pittsburgh, and speeches are being made galore on how we can prevent war by these wonderful “saviors” and representatives of god. At the same time that they have preachers and rabbis speaking and declaring against war and deploring the war, we find that the conference meeting in the Dravo ig organizing and discussing new ways of making war, The speech- es are lengthy, with all kinds of ex- cuses, such as racial, nationality, etc. given why war is carried on. The only way in which they expect to abolish war is thru forgetting that 1,926 years have passed, and that, especially in the last few years, which are sup- posed to be the peak of christianity, we have had the worse slaughters that | the human race ever saw. | What must happen if the dream of | the priests, rabbis and preachers | would come true. That is what is not likely to happen—that everybody should become a christian. Then we would expect the complete wiping out | of the human race by the wars which would take place. Tho the working class is still being filled with the dope of the capitalists, who are ready for war, and also by the pacifists. But the youth must re- member that in the last war each and | every one of the priests, preachers} and rabbis lined up on the side of the capitalists and was helping the capi- talists in fooling the youth to go to slaughter under the pretense of democ- | racy and freedom. The working class must see that it will throw off this poison which is spread by the priests, preachers and rabbis and the rest of the capitalist | mongers, and that if we must have a| war it must be a war against the capl- ternational Goodwill Congress under talist class. HEN nearly 50 students, most of whom are Finnish, at the Wauke- gan County High School wrote in the name of the Workers (Communist) Party candidate for U. S. senator, J. | Louls Engdahl, in the mock election which was held by the students on November 2, it so roused the wrath of the teachers, and particularly the prin- cipal, that an intensive campaign of violent abuse was started against those students, while many of them were forced to stand in front of their |classmates and repeat their pledge of jallegiance to the American flag. | Mr. John W. Thalman, principal of | the high school, is well known in local |circles for his reactionary views. He is a hide-bound catholic, who carries with him not only the distorted con- cepts of that organization into the school, but who likewise has learned’ how to apply methods of terrorism to the students and teachers who try to | think for themselves, Thanks to the subtle brain of this tool of reaction, the regular sample ballots (which contained the names of the Communist candidates) were used, altho this is what is usually done. Instead, there had been pre- pared special mimeographed ballots which contained only the lists of the COMMUNIST VOTES IN HIGH SCHOOL MOCK ELECTION CAUSE UPROAR republican, democratic, and independ- ent parties, This ruse failed completely. Many of the students come from parents who have long records of active ser- vice in- the revolutionary movement. In addition to this, the Young Work- ers’ League has been carrying on ac- tive work for a long time and has won a number of new supporters. All of these young students wrote in the names of the Communist candidates. When the results became known the principal, in a rabid speech made to the assembly of students, declared, among other things, that “dirty suck- ers can go back to Russia, where they came from.” His vile and abusive language certainly did not help to im- press the students with the constitu- tional demagogy which they are oth- erwise taught about in their class civics. The teachers were also in- structed to begin an intensive cam- paign of “Americanization” amongst their pupils to counteract the perni- cious ideas of Communism. Several students were forced to salute the flag and repeat their oath of allegiance to it. This action has not helped to turn the students away from their ideas, but seems to have made them more determined than ever before to sup- port and fight for them. ‘First District Meet of Young Pioneers to Be Held Here, Nov. 26-28 A little over three years have passed since the Young Workers (Commun- ist) League of District No, 8 under- took the building of a children’s move- ment, in the district.

Wittfogel A study of the world-famous satirist that goes right to t' heart. It reveals Shaw as stark realist applying his boot with damaging effect to the con- ventional posterior of bourgeois society and again Wurling liter- ary stink bombs at the revolu- tionists that are organizing the masses to overthrow the sys- tem on which this conven- tional imbecility feeds. +++ THE STUDENTS | IN REVOLT. By Harry Kletzky Kletsky does not suggest that the college student of today is ready to march on the Chicago stockyards with fountain pens glistening in the sun and ink pots prepared to smear the jJandseape. He tries to show that college students are at least suffering from the birth pains of revolt and indicates that a college student might be good for something besides petting a hip flask provided the revolutionary movement gets busy and puts calluses between his ears. +++ IN THE WAKE OF THE NEWS. By T. J. O'Flaherty This feature intends to be a summary of the outstandin, news of the week, interpreted from the Communist point of view. It is the kind of a feature that the “tired worker’ will gobble up. It does not fill the same kind of the vacuum that the chorus girl fills in the life of the tired business man. It does not want to. It appeals ta the brain. Facts and conclu- sions are given. Also enough reasoning to make the conclu- sions palatable without going to the extreme of making con- fusion worse confounded. +++ A GLIMPSE OF THE YOUTH MOVEMENT OF RUSSIA.
