Recently a meeting was ar- ranged by Legere at which he attempted to persuade the min- ers that a split was the only thing left for them to do. The audience of about three hundred listened to him pa- tiently for more than an hour and then the audience took the platform and informed Legere that he and his crazy split no- tions were not wanted around the district. Bruce Floors Bennie. Malcolm Bruce, recently returned from Moscow where he attended the congresses of the Communist Inter- national and the Red International of Labor Unions, was at the meeting and was able to floor Legere and his split policy. Bruce is able to speak with authority on the O. B. U. ques- tion since he was one of the leaders of that movement in the West in 1919. Unlike the present leadership of the 0. B. U. Bruce saw that the splitting of the labor unions of the West was bringing disaster upon the labor move- ment, and because he opénly changed his tactics he incurred the wrath of the O. B. U. A series of large meetings has been held during the past week with Mal- colm Bruce as the chief speaker. At these meetings he is explaining the policies of the Communist ~Interna- tional and the R. I. L. U. The meet- ings are very well attended, The miners are very much interested in hearing about the progress the revolu- tionary movement is making thruout the world. They also are interested in Bruce since during his last visit to Nova Scotia the British Empire Steel Corporation attempted to throw him in jail on a trumped-up charge of “sedi- tion.” Legere Is Licked. So badly licked is Legere in his at- tempt to create a split in the ranks of the miners of this district that he is splitting his spleen all over the pages of the One Big Union Bulletin. In his tirades against the Communists because they are blocking his plan for a split he stoops to the slimy state- ment that the Communists are be- traying the miners into the hands of Lewis and Besco. . This stuff. is simply digging the grave of Legere deeper, because the miners know that the Communists have proven them- selves to be the best fighters against the Besco-Lewis combination. The statement of the Trade Union Educational League urging the miners to have nothing to do with the O, B. U. and its splitting tactics has been printed in the Maritime Labor Herald and has created great interest among the miners. All in all Legere is find- ing that he is dealing with workers who have been thru the mill and who ‘did not need to wait until the Messiah from the West came to teach them what tactics to employ in their strug- gle against the Besco-Lewis gang. It can be safely predicted that so far as the miners of Cape Breton are concerned, more than half of the \total number of miners in the district, that there will be no runing away from the fight against Lewis and his reactionary administration by means ‘of a split. é more than a job for some politicians will come out of the LaFollette- Wheeler campaign. so” By LAURENCE TODD (Federated Press Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—Prospects for the new radical- liberal party which may be born next January, as an outcome of the LaFollete-Wheeler campaign, grow more confused as the structure of voting elements is built up. Day by day the discussion of legislative program falls by the wayside, as, new recruits, with new interests, join the army of voters espousing these’ candi-* dates. Drop Embarrassing Planks. Two months: before the polls are opened, and at a time when the most important fighting is just begun, the fight is simplified to one for “return of the government to the people.” Public ownership of railroads, mines and super-power is no longer men- tioned. Abolition of the veto power of the federal courts is not stressed. Headlines dealing with big speeches deal chiefly with the charges and proofs that republican and democratic politicians were individual crooks. The system of production and ex- change of wealth which endlessly has produced crooks, in all countries and under all forms of private-exploita- tion government, is accepted as in- evitable for the future. This strange suspension of eco- nomic thinking in a presidential con- test is emphasized in the case of the visit of a delegation of representa- tives of the Steuben society, sent by their national convention to notify Sen. LaFollette that German-Amer- icans are unanimously with him in this contest. They spoke of Lincoln and Carl Shurz, and LaFollette told them it was Carl Shurz who advised him to come to Washington from Wisconsin to carry on the struggle to free the people from the power of corrupt special privilege. Bob As Good As Warren. The spokesmen of the German- American organization asked only that the Versailles treaty be revised according to the promises made by Woodrow Wilson and included in the armistice terms. They did not ask for social or industrial justice in Ger- many or in America. They had been satisfied-to vote for Harding in 1920. These German-Americans will slow down the enthusiasm of the labor elements supporting the independent ticket; they want no class issue raised by the nominee who has their support. Nevertheless, the enlistment of class-conscious workers in the La Follette forces is proceeding. The radicals are saying that there is time yet, before January, to educate the millions of LaFollette voters to the program that alone will enable the movement to create for itself a per- manent and effective organization. It must be a public-ownership program. Industrial democracy in terms of an age of electrical machinery, of big- scale production, must be made real to them. That Poor Hope. To the extent that the present campaign opens a way to arouse the hunger of 100,000,000 of the 112,000,- 000 American people for improvement in their relative position in the na- tion, the purpose of the new party will be achieved. Half of the com- placency at Coolidge headquarters is traced to the delay of results in this field. Their hope is to keep the con- test strictly personal—to let the people’s lives have as little as pos- sible to do with it. DUCKIE LUIE MENCKEN FLOPS FOR BOB By MAX SHACHTMAN. f CLOSE perusat of the political history of the United States fails to disclose a collection of di- wversified elements, supporting a tick- et for presidential office, that in the remotest manner resembles the ag- gregation that is tooting and bellow- ing for Robert M. LaFollette. Assembled dround his banderole is the most unenviable throng of labor rs, discredited and disgruntled ‘political hacks, adoring members of ‘the Women’s Peate Society, journal- istic pot-boilers, sighing editors of The Nation, ward heelers, Bush Bap- » lime-lighters and jobless—~but petul—office holders, bankrupt pea- nut stand proprietors and cockroach clothing manufacturers, and flotsam and jetsam from variegated sources. To this assortment has now been added none other than Henry Louis Mencken, editor of The American Mercury, erstwhile editor of The Smart Set, and still more erstwhile editor of Nietzchen piffle in book form. Mencken, or as he is better ‘known by his waggish’ friends, “Duckie Louie,” the idol of flappers, New Republic editors, and Greenwich Village boozehounds, fake skeptic 4 bourgeois” intellectuals, has flopped for the Messiah from Wisconsin. In a statement issued by him thru Bobbie’s headquarters, he spills the following piffle: “Thruout the coun- try there is a rising tide of discontent with the ancient political buncombe.” We understand, therefore, that we are now to be treated to a heavy laxative diet of modern political bun- combe, a la LaFollette. Duckie Louie continues: “All per- sons of even the slightest intelligence revolt against the attempt to inflate Mr. Coolidge to the proportions of a first-rate man. He is actually a pur- rile and hollow fellow and the cur- rent blather of his partisans, most of whom hope to profit personally by his election, cannot conceal the fact. I believe that his nonsensical speech- es and the childish billingsgate of his running-mate, Mr. Dawes, are making hundreds of thousands of votes for Senator LaFollette.” With the deepest respect for the editor of a respectable lit’ry maga- zine like The American Mercury, we venture to. comment shortly and con- cisely: “Blah!” Join the Workers Party! FRENCH FLUNKEY DENIES TRUTH OF FUNDING TALE Therefore Story Must be Based on Fact PARIS, Sept. 15.—The ministry of finance in an official statement given this afternoon denied that it had any knowledge of the plan for the settle- ment of the French war debts as ad- vocated by Edward N. Hurley, ,mem- ber of the American debt funding com- mittee. Long Term Payments. The Hurley plan provides for pay- ments by France over a period of 67 years, five years longer than the per- iod for the funding of the British debt. The plan is similar to that for the funding of the British debt except thatthe United States government would use part of the money received from France to invest in French in- duustrial securities, and would grant France a five year moratorium during which time there would be no accu- mulation of interest. REE NS Story Called Phantasy. The declaration said to made by Hurley that France was ing seri- ous consideration of the plan because of the favorable reaction it had caused among French industrial leaders and would send a commfssion to Washing- ton this winter to go into details, was described as “pure fantasy.” At the foreign office it was said: “We have absolutely no information concerning the plan to which Mr. Hur- ley refers.” Sire tape Plan Worked Out. WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—Informal consideration has been given by the American debt funding commission to the plan worked out by Edward N. Hurley, one of the commissioners, for the payment of the $4,000,000,000, French debt to the United States, but no action has been taken looking to its execution, it was learned at the treasury department. Good Clothes Will Cure All Our Ills Is Saphead Advice (By The Federated Press) NEW YORK, Sept. 15. — William Hobart Weintraub of the National As- sociation of Retail Clothiers and Fur- nishers, has a remedy for the ills of America, It is good clothes. Mr. Weintraub, who is director of the “Dress Well and Succeed” movement the association launched six months ago, has just returned from a six months’ swing over the United States and Canada and reports that the en- tire Pacific Coast and much of the East has been organized for good clothes. Needle trades unionists who have second hand after it percolated thru gotten Mr. Weintraub’s propaganda the doors of luncheon clubs say there ‘is only one difficulty with his idea, and that is that millions of American workers are too busy chasing the elusive three meals a day in these hard times to “Dress Well and Suc- ceed.” .

Subscribe for “Your Daily,” the DAILY WORKER. @ special convention of the I. W. W. to meet at Chicago, Monday, October 13, 1924. On August 13, 1924, the DAILY WORKER carried the statement of the Red International Afflliation Com- mittee against a split in the I. W. W., which said in part: “We urge that every shred of red tape be brushed aside and delegates representative of the entire membership be called into convention at once.” In spite of Doyle’s ostrich-like .ef- forts to cover up the danger to the organization, his characterization of the deplorable crisis as a “little flur- ry” which would “blow over,” etc., recognition of the fact that the faction which prevented rank and file ex- pression thru an immediate special convention would be adjudged guilty by the membership of continuing the split, finally compelled the Doyle- Fisher administration to issue the call, Force Splitters’ Hands. The same feeling that the member- ship would hold responsible for the split the factian which obstructed unity by an immediate convention, has also caused the Rowan-Bowerman injunctionite faction to issue a “sug- gestion”: that the various industrial unions “hold conferences as soon as possible antl bring up the matter of @ constitutional convention.” These} splitters were compelled to do this, | in spite.of their reluctance to leave to the rank and file an issue which they much preferred to be decided by the capitalist courts. This Rowan-Bowerman faction, which has given up the rival headquarters at 2418 West Madison street, and “gone underground” awaiting the de- cision of a capitalist court to give them possession of the headquarters now locked up" by temporary injunc- tion, has engaged Justus Ebert as in- tellectual leader and editor of a pub- lication called “The Weekly Bulletin.” It is not expected that Ebert's ad- heslumto the Rowan: group will en- hance its prestige among the western migratory element, as Ebert is a well- known bitter opponent of organization work among the “bum element,” as declared, “when I attempted to speak against LaFollette yesterday. Now you bring into the report on Dawes an indorsement of LaFollette and an unfair attack on Foster. The attack on Foster is unjust, unfair and entire- ly out of order. Foster Only Union Candidate. “Bill Foster is the only presidential candidate bearing the union label. He is for a workers and farmers gov- ernment. Even his enemies know that Bill Foster is a clean fighter for the rank and file workers and a loyal trade union organizer.” In that part of Walker’s report dealing with the Labor Press delegate Henry Corbishley declared “the trouble is our trade union labor papers are used by the official family as a medium for keeping their ma- chine in control of the unions.” Cor- bishley cited the Illinois Miner and the United Mine Workers’ Journal as an example. He charged that no let- ters from the rank and file miners taking up vital problems of unem- ployment, and putting forth progress- ive measures for relief are allowed in the Illinois Miner. “Ninety-five per cent of the rank and file miners are opposed to the propositions adyo- cated in the Illinois Miner,” Corbish- ley said. Miners Applauded. “Tt is the same as the attitude taken by the officials on amalgamation,” Corbishley stated. “Amalgamation means doing away with the officials jobs and that is why they are opposed MC ANDREW ASKS MILITARIZATION OF THE SCHOOLS Plea Follows Victory of School Teachers A complete “militarization” of the school system, with the superintendent in supreme control, was the demand |which Superintendent McAndrew |madein an address at the Art Institute to the principals and district superin tendents of-Chicago’s schools. McAndrew’s plea for greater author. ity followed the clear-cut victory |which the organized teachers, whom |he is fighting, gained by the refusal jof the committee on rules to accept his report, recommending the amend- ment of the rules of the teachers’ councils in such a way that he can call them out of school hours, and can reorganize them so as to include officials of the school system. He Won't Be Bossed. “A former superintendent's clothes do not fit me,” said McAndrew. “I do not propose to be bossed by the teachers.”™ The former superintendent referzed | to is Peter A.

This was followed by singing of the Inter-! national.

Walker replied to Corbishley, de- fending Oscar Ameringer, character- Te- ized him as “the best labor editor in |many celebrations, too many unneces-|isting wage system ‘and by the world.” “The miners use the same language I used twenty years ago. I've gotten away from it. I have the same ideals, but I am being practical and dealing with things as they are.” KLUXER’S BAIL NOW AMOUNTS TO the S. L. P. terms it, which naturally resents such belittling of its real im- portance. It was Ebert who, a few months before the split, argued vi- olently in the General Office Bulletin against efforts to organize the migra- tory workers, which, he scornfully observed, was making the I. W. W. into. the “Industrial Workers of the Woods.” “The Most Important Issue.” The call for the, special convention issued by the Doyle-Fisher administra- tion also calls for funds to finance the meeting, reciting the fact that the Rowan injunctionites have tiéd up all funds. In part the call reads: “The necessary preparations for this convention are now the most impor- tant issue confronting the I. W. W. Organization work is crippled by the present split. ‘We cannot allow eapi- talist judges and lawyers to decide the destiny of our organization. The time has come for the rank and file ta take charge, to express its de- cision without delay and to save the I. W. W, from the disaster which threatens it. “Remember the proud record of the I, W. W. It has withstood undaunted every attack of the master class. Are we going to allow a few dollars to stand between us and future victories? Only the decision of the membership expressed thru a convention can save the I. W. W. This convention must be held dimmediately and it must be financed.” The statement of the Red Interna- tional AMliation Committee, mentioned above, warned against any exclusion of any reallyrepresentative delegates, and expressed the necessity of bringing up in the special convention, besides the simple matter of getting author- ized officials, the ideological questions, confusion upon which has been the fundamental cause from which the present controversy and organization- al danger have grown. It remains to be seen what action in this respect will be taken by the two groups, but it is certain that no real settlement can come without. definite action on these two issues. Dever For City Ownership. Mayor Dever still stands firm for city ownership of the transportation system. The fact that the workers are not one whit the better off whether they are exploited by the government or by private corporations never enters the calculations of the clever administrator of Chicago's rot- ten administration. He goes his own serene way without thinking about the workers at all.’ Vote Communist This Time! KING'S RANSOM BENTON, Ill, September 15. — S. Glenn Young, paid Ku Klux Klan raid- er of Williamson County, yesterday was under additional bonds totalling $25,000 given here late the day before in the office of United State Commis- sioner W. W.

This horrible fact was made known when the warden an- nounced that Leopold was starting work in the rattan factory and Loeb in the chair factory. The young men, who are now in for life and 99 years, went at their work rather clumsily, but, it is said, with a will. It is quite possible that after a few years of sweating at their benches they may learn how their parents earned enough money for the children to slither around in auto- mobiles and to parties. In fact, they may actually realize that Loeb, Sr., is sweating his workers in the Sears Roebuch plant at starvation wages and that Leopold, doing the same thing In the paper box plant at Morris, Ill. The boys were sepai id in dif- ferent celis and will not each other, in all probability, until next July 4. A terrible calamity. N McAndrew’s assertion that he, too,| had been opposed to the calling teach-| ers’ councils on school time. “I did say that the schools have too | sary interruptions,” said Mortenson. | “I did not say that teachers’ councils | should be dispensed with in school time. The teachers’ councils have been very valuable, and more than justify the few hours which they con- sume.” Power All by Himself. With the open declaration of Mc Andrew that he does not think the 12,000 teachers of Chicago worthy of giving him advice, the breach between the militant teachers and the Chamber of Commerce. superintendent becomes wider. On one sitle there are the teachers, organized in the teachers’ councils, a few members of the school board, and the Chicago Teachers’ Fed- eration, which has now come out squarely against McAndrew. On the jother side stands McAndrew, backed up by the rest of the school board, notably Charles M. Moderwell, presi- |dent of the board and director of scab mines in West Virginia. Moderwell, who is a member of the committee on rules, voted consistently against the teachers and for McAn- drew during the course of the hear. ing on Saturday. In spite of the stand of Moderwell McAndrew received such a sound drubbing at the hands of the commit tee that he was forced to leave the building before the meeting was over. “An act quite in line with his usual discourtesy and lack of tact,” was the comment -of J. Lewis Coath, another committee member. The militant stand of Margaret Ha ley, business agent for the Teachers’ Federation, in fighting McAndrew dur- ing the committee hearings, was unan- imously approved by the Federation at its meeting on Saturday. To prove her contention that teachers who dare to complain against the action of the authorities are severely penalized, Miss Haley cited the case of Catherine | Baird, a teacher who was thrown out} of a job in the Junior high schools, | and frankly told that a speech which she had made before the administra- tion committee, compaining of the lack of co-operation between superintend- ents and teachers, was responsible. A fight is expected in the near fu- ture on McAndrew’s proposition to the committee on rules that an old law be re-enacted forbidding the sending of notices to teachers without the ap-| proval of the superintendent. “Teachers should in this respect be subject to the same restrictions as the children,” is the way in which McAn- drew phrases it. That the victory which the teachers, have now gained over McAndrew is nothing more than a legal victory, and that it must be followed up by militant aggression so that the rules will be enforced, is the substance of a warn- ing sounded. by Margaret Haley to the teachers organized in the councils, It is understood that further aggres- sion on the part of McAndrew will follow.
