During the summer holidays many manoecuyres on the part of the Pro- Vineial and City governments in cut- have been ting educational grants, made. The King Plan for “saving”’ two million dojlars is one of these manocuyers. decision of the School Board re the barring of 6-year-old children whose hirthdays are before December, from deing admitted to the schools. The School Board will attempt to get by with the smallest number of teachers Guring the season. Teach- ‘ers will be taken on only when very mecessary. This, of course, means increased hardships and labors for the sehool teachers. The aboye moves of the govern- ment are explained as economic ones, designed to save the 'ratepay- ers’ money. Whilst Gerry MeGeer and the city authorities are expend- ing tens ofthousands of dollars for the protection of the scabs on the waterfront through the employment of special police, the hiring of field guns, etc., to be used against work- ers. he young people attending school will be forced to suffer, and go without the necessary educa- dional ‘requirements, because of the misappropriation of the taxpayers’ money by responsible authorities.

The euttinge of the educational frants means that more of the bur- den will be placed upon the sons and daughters of workers, in that they will be asked to supply more of their own books,. paper, pencils, ete. These moves can, therefore, be looked upon as a further attack on the standards of living of the work- ine people. The youth in the schools must of necessity take a stand on the actions of the authorities. They must or- ganize sehool committees to press for the restoration of educationa grants, and to defend the rights of the school teachers. The students must demand that the city authorities refrain from ex- pending the people’s money in the interest of the Shipping IWederation and other financial interests, and that this money be used for educa- tional purposes. Sam Carr attended an enlarged district committee meeting of the Y¥.C.L. while in Vancouver at the invitation of the League. Sam is an ex-Young Communist League member and his contribution to the discussion was of much interest. Carr stressed the necessity of broad- easting our activity to reach greater masses of youth in the struggle against fascism and war. See. CL. Defence News| PRIZE WINNERS.

Coughlin Organizes Fake Union DETROIT, Sept. — Father Gougehlin, fascist leader, is busy or- Sanizing a boss-controlled union here +o offset the srowing organization of fhe workers in the automotive in- dustry.

MONTREAL, Aus. 24.—A stone wrapped in a2 placard bearnns the words, “leave Ethiopians alone — hands off Bthiopia,” was thrown through a plate glass window. of the Italian Steamship Lines office here last night. IMPORTANT NOTICE At the last meeting of the Hunger March Committee it was decided on the basis of reports received both from city organizations and from outside districts, that it would be inadvisable to attempt to Carry through the Hunger March on Sep- tember 20th. The Hunger March, therefore, is indefinitely postponed. We resret this postponement because we know well that some organizations have worked very hard to make a suecess of this march, and will feel keen disappointment at this change of plan. The Resident Buro realizes their responsibility in the matter, in that, at the Provincial Workers’ Council meeting in April, when making the recommendation for the march, they allowed the strength of the P-W.C. at that time to outweigh considera- tion of the situation as it would exist in midsummer.

DAY PICKIC Mass Turn-cut Enjoyed Celebration CGMBERLAND, B:C., Sept, 2.— Labor Day was celebrated here with a mass picnic held at Millard’s Beach, under the auspices of the unemployed organizations. This pienic ground is historie in the workers’ fight against capitalism for a better life. When the miners were evicted from Cumberland in the strike of 1902, they made this beach their fighting picket camp: The erounds are situated on a tide flat that is ideal for a day's outing. The kids had great fun running races, playing games and swimming. The old men’s race and the married women’s race created great interest and friendly cGommpetition. Everyene, kids and adults, who ran in any race received an ice cream cone, which was greatly appreciated because of the warmth of the day. About 200 adults were present and about the same number of children. Many farmers with their wives and chil- dren were present. Bob Lealess on Unity. Gob Lealess spoke on behalf of the Provincial Workers’ Council on un- employment and brought the greet- ines of the organization and a pledge of its membership to continue in a more intense manner the fight against unemployment. He stressed unity of action as the main thing fo be brought about in the struggle against starvation and fer real un- employment insurance. Without unity in struggle the working people would be defeated in the attacks that Pattulle is preparing for the unem- ployed at present and in the imme- diate future. He made an especial appeal to build up the work amons the women. i Bill Atiiinson Is Popular. Bill Atkinson, popular leader and organizer of the unemployed, spoke briefly and pointed out how the strike of the unemployed of the Cumberland district last Spring re- vealed the necessity for the building up of Joeal organizations and of con- necting these locals together through a district central committee_ The popular and persistent fighter for the unemployed in this district, Jim Gordon, capably acted as chair- man. A free drawing was held, and after the speech-making lunches were eaten, and about 6 o’clock these sociable people began to leave for home after enjoying a very happy and educational Labor Day.
