Monday, November.3, 1924 THE OAILY WORKER Page Threé ROWAN WANTS TO ‘USE |, W, W. FUNDS TO FIGHT |. W. W, ‘ By KARL REEVE. While James Rowan was petition- Ing the labor-hating Judge Dennis Sul- livan to allow him to use the I. W. W. funds, badly needed for the defense of class war prisoners, to fight the Doyle-Fisher faction before Master- fa-Chancery Bernstein, Rowan’s fol- lowers in the I. W. W. convention Were defending the injunctionites. \ Rowan’s one-time liberal lawyer, William Bigelow, petitioned Sullivan to allow the expenditure of $300,00 of the I. W. W. funds to pay his ex- penses in pushing the injunction. Sul- livan will give his answer in five days. Now All Boost Rowan. When Morris, ~ secretary-treasurer ef the general defense committee of the I. W. W., was being questioned by the delegates yesterday, Leonard and ee Swanson shielded Rowan as much as possible, trying to prove that the &x- pulsion of his faction from the gen- eral headquarters was a dangerous and illegal act. Swanson tried to prove that Trotter, Ryan and Bower- man, the injunctionites, were perform: ing their legal duties in the head- quarters and should not, have been expelled. Morris replied that as soon as they tied up defense funds and en- tered the capitalist courts they de- served no further consideration. Members of the audience at the 1. W. W. convention were incensed at Swanson and Leonard. “William Buckwald, secretary of Industrial Union 310, and P. D. Ryan, represent- ing 310 on the rump G. B. B,, have been reported by Swanson and Leonard as having refused to pay them their wages as I. U. 310 dele- gates, but this looks fishy, like a trick to fool the rebels, as they battle for the injunctionites on the floor of the convention which Rowan and his crowd do not recognize,” said one rank and file wobbly. Kapon Takes a Hop. Sam Kapon of Butte, who took the place of Charles Anderson, supposed: ly representing Industrial Unions 210 and 220, miners’ unions, on the general executive board, was cross questioned about his .activities on the Rowan-Bowerman general executive board. The convention paid $75.00 for Kapon's transportation to Chica- go, and after hearing his testimony, it was apparently their unanimous de- cesion that the money had been thrown away. Kapon refused to answer most questions, evading those he did not answer. Kapon’s testimony revealed that he had spent $50.00 of a fund raised for the Idaho defense committee as part of a self-appointed “investigating committee” to probe the controversy this summer. After the investigation’, Kapon signed a statement condemn- ing the injunctionites. But after Kapon was elected chairman of the general organization committee of I, Us 210 and 220, and was sent to Chicago to fill the position of G. B. B. member, he flocked into the injune- tionite camp after Rowan gave him $100, he admitted to the convention. Won't Talk About Money. Kapon admitted that the injunction- ites had violated the preamble of the I, W. W., but stated that at all of the Rowan G. E, B, meetings he did not once oppose the continuation of the injunction, He refused to state where the money camé from to issue the injunction. Kapon was forced to ad- mit that the “rump” Rowan G. E. B. met illegally. He admitted that there are only two constitutional ways a G. E. B. meeting can be called, either at the demand of the Industrial Unions or of the general organizer, and ad- mitted that the Rowan G, BE. B. was not called by either of these two methods. Unions Not for Injunctions, Kapon reluctantly agreed to help the temporary administration commit- | tee fight the injunction in the court | and agreed to declare that Industrial Unions 210 and 220 are not repre- sented in the request for the injunc- tion, Kapon revealed that Justus Ebert had been paid by the Rowan G. BE. B, to. write leaflets against the Doyle-Fisher faction, and that Ebert had also written for the Lumber Bulletin, He said that he had often. seen John Grady in the headquarters of the Rowan-Bowerman Workers’ G.

He might run for president on the democratic ticket and save it from extinction. John W., de spite his knee breeches, is a failure. "#8 HILE returning to England on the Olympic, the prince, as usu- al, was pestered by reporters. He was not as silent as Calvin Coolidge, but | whatever he said, did not get beyond the blue pencil of his equerry, Lasal- les, and the ship's purser. It sems that a mysterious woman got on board the ship. Her name was kept secret, but shortly after the ship pass- ed the three mile limit and the bars were open, the bars went down on the prince’s conduct. From then, until the mysterious woman disembarked at Cherbourg, herself and the prince | SEE IT By T. J.
