M’ANDREW CUTS MORE TEACHERS FROM PAYROLL 25 Classes Disbanded to “Sut Expense” Twenty-five school teachers were fired by Superintendent of Schoole McAndrew yesterday at the opening of the second semester of the school year. The pupils in twenty-five class rooms taught by these teachers were distributed among other class rooms thus. increasing the size of the classes.

SHOPMEN, BETRAYED AND SENT BACK DEFEATED, WANT AMALGAMATION By WILLIAM SIMONS, (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW HAVEN, Conn., Feb. 3.—Shopmen called together by a press notice yesterday were informed at a meeting in Trades Council Hall that their international officers had cetied off the strike. About a hundred were present, A letter was read from the betrayer, B: M. Jewell, president of the Railway Employes department of the A. F. ‘of L., arbitrarily ending. the strike at midnight, Jan. 31, 1925. : The reason given was that it. was for the best interests of the men to go back, for the railroad refused to treat with the men. It was announced by a local man that a délegation had gone to Manager’ Bardo; of the road, and was kept waiting for hours, day after: day, without getting an inter- view. THE BEAUTY AND \ THE BOLSHEVIK A Shock to the Men, ‘This* order cathe rather suddenly. Many strikers;»when-asked by the DATEY “WORKER reporter: before the méétiiy about'the:eéntinuation of the striké;* were’°strongly; for’ it, They resented ‘the’ fact that there’ was no vote taken"by the men, that they were not consulted. Many were’ there who promfsed ‘not to’go back ‘to the road. Thé’ chairman of Sy8tem Federa- tion 17, John ©. Ready, praised the men for the wonderful fight they had put up, but that was all. Not a word of criticism of the craft form of or- ganization that kept many crafts working, while others were on strike. Ir was even stated that the men ought to thank the international offi- cials for calling off the strike. What helped take the starch out of the men was the recent betrayal on, the part of Joseph Tone, formerly or-|’ ganizer of the Machinists’ Union, and|made in a samovar? elected state senator, who accepter @ position with the New. York, On- tario and Western railroad which re moves him from the: working clas: fight, and lines him up on th» other side of the fence. “Thru With the Union" They go back licked. «Some are disgusted with the unions. The effect of the strike will be to force many men out of the unions, discouraged disgusted. The reporter advised them ‘to stay in the union, and fight the fakers; to defeat the B.‘ and 0. plan, and the officials who sponsored it; to amalgamate their unions. Amalgamation appealed to’ them. Unless this issue is raised, there is little’ hope for the shopmen. As t: the union leaders they acknowledge no mistakes; “The present craft form of organization is correct. Strike, lose, and go back; but leave. the union as it is.’” And Now. the R. R. ‘The: New Haven: railroad: recently announced™that''the strike~had cost them ten mililon ‘dollars; and” that’ they had kept on the job those who respondéd to the call to ‘take the strikers’ places.

SENATE Makes Host of Charges Against Schall By LAURENCE TODD, Federated Press Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3—Sen. Mag- nus Johnson of Minnesota, announces the filing of his contest against the seating of Rep, Thomas Schall as his successor in the upper. branch of con- gress. Schall has .the certificate of election, his republican votes being reported at,some 9,000 more than the farmer-labor ‘yotes cast ‘for Johnson. But there are circumstances _surround- ing the winning of those republican votes, by Schall that may ypset the returns when the senate committée on privileges and elections Has Cativass- ed them. Charges Laws Violated, First of all, Johnson. alleges that Schall violated the, election laws of Minnesota by insinuating. that -John- son had been bribed to support the world. court plan; also, that Schall openly and falsely accused Johnson of having been removed from the direc- torate of the co-operative grain ele- vator concern in St. Paul “for steal- ing the farmers’ money.” Secondly, Johnson charges that powerful legal aid was promised to jailed bootleggers, in return for large payments of money, by men identi- fied with the financing of Schall’s campaign, and that these promises, which were understood as pledges of immunity, were given at Schall’s headquarters. Schall Is Silent. Under the laws of Minnesota a libel uttered or published by a candidate against his rival, is sufficient ground for setting aside the election returns. Rep. Kvale, farmer-labor, was denied the certificate of republican nomina- tion over Andrew Volstead, in 1920, because it was held that he had ac- cused Volstead of being an atheist. Johnson will present affidavits that in many speeches Schall stated that a man had approached him with an of- fer of $25,000 in return for his sup- port of the world court proposal, and that Johnson, who until that time had opposed the world court, turned around and favored it. In one speech, Johnson will allege, Schall declared in this connection, that he guessed that Johnson was “getting a nice little package every month.” An affidavit as to Schall's utterances on that occasion will be furnished by a former Neutenant gov- ernor of the state.
