PROTEST MEET FORCES WALKER TO HEAR GROUP | Mayor Concedes Two! ‘i Demands Forcing their way to Mayor} Walker, despite the efforts of his Secretary to put them off, a com- mittee of seven working class mothers, representing the Parents Association of Olinville, yesterday compelled the mayor to promise to take action on their demands in re- | gard to conditions at Public School No. 89. | The visit of the Parents Associa- | tion committee followed a protest | demonstration held outside the City Hall on Saturday, in which 500 mothers and 500 children took part. | It is believed that this demonstra- | tion forced the Tammany mayor to give them a hearing, as he had dodged them on many previous oc- | casions. | The chief demands for which the | Parents Association of Olinville has been agitating are: Busses to trans- port the children to and from school, as the children must now walk from i2 to 14 blocks each way over dan- gerous crossings; a 20-minute recess period in the four-hour school ses: sion, and the opening of annexes and the erection of a new school building to relieve the unbearable overcrowding at P. S. 89. So insistent were the members of the committee that Mayor Walker was compelled to promise that be- | ginning next Monday a bus would | *s provided to take the children to end from school. He also stated that the 20-minute recess period | would be granted. Concerning the demand for annexes and a new school building, he made the usual glib Tammany promises, which are even more glib at election time. The members of the Parents As- | sociation of Olinville regard these | concessions as significant victories. Because of their militancy they | - have had to work under great diffi- culties and their meetings have been barred from various places. The association intends to continue * its efforts to compel the Tammany city administration to relieve the oppressive conditions to which school children, particularly those in working class districts, are forced to submit. | i} prepeerrtt tie * Latin Americans Hit Insulting U.

The dominant note was struck by V.

In his | speech he closely analyzed the eon- dition of the Italian workers, and developments in Italy from the time | Mussolini first took power. He |stressed the ever-growing dissatis- | faction of the Italian workers with conditions that grew worse from day to day, and when he pointed out that the Communist Party of Italy, as the vanguard of the Italian work- ing class, was bravely bearing the brunt of the fascist terror and con- tinuing its work in spite of it, the workers again burst into applause. He pointed out that by the execu- tion of Maggiore the fascist govern- ment had legalized the murder of | Communists, and that workers the world over should protest this le- galized political murder, solitary confinement in Italian jails which {resulted in disease and death, and |the terror decrees of the Special | Tribunal.
