STUDEBAKER THEATER | Opposition to Filipino Independence Is Lead By Secretary of War By JAY LOVESTONE. to The Daily Worker) OFFEDERATION Dual Bodies in Three Big Cities Extensive disruption and dualism in the building trades department of the American Federation of Labor is revealed by the recent statement of officials of the department dealing with the Chicago situation growing out of the Landis award and other similar conditions in other large cities. There are two building trades councils in Chicago, one composed of unions which accepted the Landis award, the other of the unions that fought it and are still fighting it. The Landis award council has become a sort of a mutual admiration so- ciety of bosses and wage-earners a glorified company union. Neither of the two eduncils are rec- ognized by the building trades de- partment altho both are composed of American Federation of Labor unions. In Cleveland there are two build- ing trades councils as a result of the jurisdictional dispute between the carpenters and sheetmetal workers over the handling of metal trim. One of the Cleveland councils is recognized by the deptartment, that which accepted the decision of the National Board of Jurisdictional Awards and gave most of the metal trim work to the sheet metal workers. In St. Ieuis the building trades council is out of the department fol- lowing its refusal to unseat a local of structural iron workers which was at odds with its international union. In New York there is much friction betweer the building trades council formerly headed by Robert Brindell, now serving a term in Sing Sing, and the recognized council affiliated with the building trades department. . A conference of the officials of the American Federation of Labor build- ing trades department and four of- ficers of Chicago unions has been called for March 17. If a satisfac- tory settlement of the dispute is se- of the Bureau of Insular Affairs, before the House Committee conducting hearings'on the various resolutions for Philippine independence. United States can withdraw and justify itself and its con- science before the world. “The United States igs en- titled to a good name and seputation in its action in the Philippines,” said Mr. Weeks. The Secretary went on to talk of the great freedom the Filipinos were enjoying under the American flag. “We cannot lightly relieve ourselves of our obligation to the Filipino peo- ple and of our international reputa- tion and credit.” Mr. Weeks laid great emphasis on the proximity of Manila to the Bri- tish, Japanese, French and Chinese interests and ports. Big American Investments. The total American investments in the Islands can be divided along the following lines, said the Secretary of War: $70,000,000 in government exempt from all Federal, State and municipal laws. (2) about $25,000,- 000 in railroad interests; (3) about one and a half million dollars in tele- graph and telephone interests and (4) about fifteen million dollars on other interests. There is invested exten- sively British, Chinese, and Spanish capital in. the Philippines. The pro- blem of immediate ‘independence is so vitally interlocked with the ma- terial welfare of the whole Filipino people that the question arises, said the Secretary of War, ‘“‘whether suf- ficient, mature consideration has been given to the matter by the Fili- pino nation.” He said further: “The present demand for complete, im- mediate independence is not expres- sive of the best interests and the wishes of the Filipino people.” There can be no greater tempta- tion to the nearby overcrowded peo- ple than the present situation under which there exist vast tracts of un- cultivated lands. “It is my opinion The Secretary of War declared that precipitate action must be avoided in this matter. ‘The question is whether the bonds held in this country and tax | a fact that if a Japanese army had invaded the Philippines, an Ameri- can force would be sent to drive the Japanese out. Congressman Ward prefaced his remarks with a very guarded statement that he was not sure whether this, the committee hearing sessions, was the proper place place where the Japanese question should be discussed. It may be all a matter of jingoism, but it is in the American mind and we ought to con- sider this somewhere. .When Congressman Knutson of Minnesota, pressed further the point of the danger of Japanese aggression, the members of the committee be- came rather wary and demanded that all these questions should be stricken from the,record and handled in executive session. Want People Kept Ignorant. Committee Chairman Fairfield of Indiana, came to the rescue of his perturbed colleagues by making a fervid plea that the newspaper men who have a high “moral sense’ should not disclose any portion, of this de- bate and keep it entirely out of the records. The committee members were apparently greatly disturbed by the likelihood of the people seeing thru the Japanese bugaboo that has continually been raised to prejudice and confuse the whole Philippine in- dependence issue. “Capital Too Timid.” Weeks made a plea that capital was “‘too timid” to invest in the Islands as long as conditions were as unstable as they are today. caused Congressman Schaffer to as! “When in the name of goodness will capital feel safe enough to invest, since we are always being told that this uncertainty of capital is a strong argument against indepen- dence?” Weeks admitted he could not answer this question, tho he was of the opinion that two or four years ‘Special WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-—Secretary of War Weeks today C ATT appeared in person. accompanied by General McIntyre, Chief Drastic Action Against Hoof-Mouth Plague (Bpeci: ‘orker! KLAND, Calif. Feb. 39.—De- struction of 13,000 cattle and hogs infected with hoof and mouth disease, was to be begun today by federal and state officials as the most drastic step thus far in the fight against the dis- ease in California. Reports to the headquarters here, from which federal and state officials are directing the campaign for eradi- cation of the disease, showed that in- fection has now been found on a total of 34 ranches. Stray Dogs To Die. Orders were given that stray dogs and eats in the vicinity of the in- fected area be collected and killed. Governor Friend William Richard- son of California, following a con- ference with director of Agriculture G, H. Hecke and other officials lead- ing the campaign against the disease, | announced that he was, if necessary, willing to call an extra session of the state legislature to deal with the situation. Reports from Washington stated Secretary of Agriculture Wallace is preparing to ask congress for an ap- propriation to be used in the fight. Orders were issued today forbid- ding express companies returning milk or cream cans to infected areas. Standard Oil Is Violator, Several additional ranches, where infection has been found were placed under strict quarantine and the “tank farm” of the Standard Oil Company was rigidly quarantined as a result of violation of the order against mov-- ing stock across a public highway. No person is permitted to leave the company’s “farm.”’ Preparatory to the destruction of the infected animals, trenches were dug at the ranches where the herds were located. The stock was shot and then, in most instances saturated with kerosene, thrown into the Doors Open at 10:30. COMING!!
