SETS eerie yo —_ “Gibson Spring company, 1802 Clybourn| sie SPRINGMAKERS STRIKE JOINED BY BLACKSMITHS Gibson Co. Workers Fight the “Open Shop” »The blacksmiths employed at the Ave., have gone out on strike in sym-| pathy with the locked-out spring- makers, machinists and toolmakers. Over 150 workers are now out fight- ing the ulfimatum of the company that the “open shop” would be in- stalled and that the agreement with District No. & of the International As- sociation of Machinists, which has ex- pired, would not be renewed. The tempt of the Gibson company to « the union in the shop came to a he a few days ago when the comr posted bulletins that the eight-hour y would be abolished and the men must henceforth work nine hours a day. Their hours had beoa from 8 a, m. to 4:30 p. m., and they were ordered to report for work at 7:30 and remain until 5 p. m. Refuse to Negotiate. The machinists disregarded the notice, and reported for work at 8 o'clock as usual. They were then locked out. The agreement with the machimists and tolomakers expired on May 1, and with the springmakers on July 1, The workers received letters from the/ Gibson company 30 days prior to the termination of the agreements that} they would not be renewed. | When Oscar Uhiman, arranged as follows: DETROIT, MICH.—Mass duly William F.

Police Called In. In April the company began its) drive to crush the union by employing: five non-union girls for thirty-five cents an hour, under the union agree- ment. Rest rooms were installed for these girls by the company.

Amalgamated Under Fire Of Capitalist Injunction In Phila. PHILADELPHIA, July 6.—(FP)— An injunction against the Amalgamat- ed Clothing Workers Union is granted on behalf of E. & R. Rosenberg, cloth- ing manufacturers, and Steinberg & Oritsky, cutters for Rosenberg. The injunction prevents union “members, officers, confederates, employes and all persons acting in aid for and conjunc- tion with and conspiring to injure the operations of plaintiff's employes” from most of the usual picket duties of strikers. The Amalgamated is try- ing to organize these firms complete- “another new Sub—Makes an- other Communist. C. are cantelling their orders, said {Stephen Scala, a member of the G. |B. B. speaking yesterday. Evidence was cited of letters written to the firm and copies sent to the union. Other speakers brot out the signifi cance of the strike to the whole A. C. W. and that it is not altruism for workers to picket the stuck shops of lopen shop bosses. It is self protec- | tion to defend the union wherever it is attacked. Tillie Kazak, the grey haired old fighter again had the floor at yesterday’s meeting to urge her brothers and sisters of the union to stick as they are sticking until they win. Word from the same firms’ shops in New York City shows that both are tied up tightly. There, the firms made no attempt to run with a scab union. They didn’t want even that much of a fig leaf to cover their naked hostility to unionism. Yellow Dog Contract in New York. In New York they sent by mail to ach worker a blank application form of what is known as a “yellow dog” WORKER HURT BECAUSE OF WESTERN ELECTRIC COMPANY'S NEGLIGENCE By HARRY ALLEN (Worker Correspondent) Because of the greed of the rail- road company to increase its prof- its, a worker injured his leg while unloading pigs of lead out of a box car in the Hawthorne works of the Western Electric Co. The aceldent was due to the company’s negli- gence. While pushing over a 2-ton load of lead out of a box car, a wheel suddenly broke thru the rotten floor, toppling the heavy load on the worker, breaking one of his legs in two places, “Stand by Soviet Russia!” Demand “Hands Off China!” Mass meetings and demonstrations have already been Amalgamated Strike Tightens Grip long it is going to take the Chicago | meeting and picnic, Sunday, 42, Campbell Grove, end of Mack Ave. car line.

THE DAILIY,WORKER a GRAIN MARKET COMPANY ABOUT TO REORGANIZE Fake ‘Co - Operative” Going Up in Smoke With the fate of Dean, Onativia & Co., brokers, hanging in the balance, the $36,000,000 co-operative grain mar- keting company today tossed another bombshell into the already disturbed currents of the financial district by is- suing a call for a.board of directors’ meeting to consider liquidation and reorganization. a Company Violated Laws. ‘The Illinois marketing ‘act and the Copper-Volstead act require that co- operative enterprises shall handle as much business for their own members as for outsiders.

New Plan for Docking Teachers’ Wages Under Consideration by Board Under the heading of recommenda- tions for dealing with teachers’ sick leave, the slickest teachers’ sweating plan was brot before the board of education yesterday afternoon thru Superintendent of Schools William McAndrew, The recommendation points a way to extract part of the teachers salary. It requires that on sick Jeave or other valid absence such ‘as déath of rela- tives, the absent teachér must pay half the salary of the substitute teach- er, And it demands the docking of the entire salary of absent teachers without leave with an ‘assessment of half of the substitute’s’ pay against the teacher’s future Salary.

Not being able to pay for riding passenger trains they demurred to having to pay their fare on freights, took over the train and decided to ride anyhow. When the train passed thru Syra- cuse, Kansas, the conductor dropped a note asking that a telegram be sent to the sheriff at Lamar and the work- ers were arrested. A posse, heavily armed as though to meet invading hosts, met the train and began firing before the workers could unload and hike out after jobs. Sixteen were arrested. Switchman Dies in Auto Crash.

The latter includes $5,000,000 for new style weapons, $4,000,000 for war- ship construction and $36,000,000 for auxiliary warship construction. These estimates probably will be drastically cut, however.

LOUIS ENGDAHL. ‘ODAY, Chester Rowell, the California “Bull Mooser” in 1912, but now a devout follower of Coolidgeism, tells the Institute of Pacific Relations meeting at Honolulu that the American immigration law against Japan “could have been framed more Cig He attacked the “lack of courtesy” shown in Tokio-Washington relations. But like a good “native son” of California and a staunch supporter of Ameri- can imperialism, he declares, of the Anti-Japanese law: “But now we have it, we must live up to it.” _* * ° * Thus Chester Rowell, flaming “progressive” in support of Roosevelt a dozen years ago, eptiomizes the whole philo- sophy of the so-called liberal-minded American politician. The brutal banditry of big business may be raw and uncouth, it may posses none of the niceties of the discussions carried on by parlor radicals, like the present conference in the Hawaiian Isles, but once capitalism's crimes are committed, as they always will be while capitalism lasts, they must be accepted, and just as often apologies advanced for them. ee « The “institute” at Honolulu professes to an ambition to stave off war in the Pacific. This is a confession, even from this source, that war is on the way; that imperialist rivalries on the earth’s greatest ocean are breeding another great slaughter. And all that the California intellectual, Rowell, has to offer is that the battle be carried on with padded gloves instead of brass knuckles. His plea will always remain un- answered. * * . e Charles C. Batchelder, formerly American commercial attache in China, gave some of the facts that should prove even to a Rowell, from California, that the surging unrest along the shores of the Pacific cannot be soothed by the srtumming of a ukulele. Batchelder offers the following: 1. The increasing tendency in Japan, India and China to manu- facture locally with European machinery, such raw materials as silk, rubber and jute, formerly manufactured in Europe and the United States may upset the economic organization of the world, 2. British workers are unemployed and are not consuming American food products as a result of, India’s making her own cotton cloth from her own cotton instead of buying British cloth made from American cotton. 3. Indian cotton yarn is replacing British yarn in China. One hun- dred and nineteen Chinese mills are now manufacturing cotton cloths formerly supplied to the Chinese by Lancashire, England. 4. For the present the tremendous demand in India, China and Japan for their own products absorbs most of the local producction, but the goods of those countries are already penetrating Oceania, Malaysia and Africa and will soon invade South America. We can see the time when they will invade Europe and America. * * . e Like a good seryant of imperialism, Batchelder has remedies. He says Great Britain is meeting the competition of the Orient by sending “prints, bleached goods and other new products” into the orient, instead of the plain cotton ig Asif the ‘orientals couldn’t and won't duplicate these in time. He also points out that “high tariffs” will combat the flood of cheap oriental goods; the tariffs that are a weapon for sharpening, but certainly not for solving trade rivalries. The imperialist agent, Batchelder also worries about the clash of the oriental standard of living with that of the occi- dent. 6 There is only one place in the world today where the standard of living is on the up-grade at a rapid rate. That is the Union of Soviet Republics; that stretches to the Pacific along the northern borders of China. The Soviet Union is taking care of its standard of living. China can be depended on to do the same. * . ° . The industrialization of Asia can be accomplished peace- fully thru an international economy created by a World Soviet Union. If capitalist imperialism lives, if it is not over- thrown, however, it will come thru the travail of a series of world-devastating wars, finally culminating just the same in the World Soviet Republic. J * . . The issue is not between the 750,000,000 peoples of Asia and the 200,000,000 whites of the occident, as the imperialist press would have the workers of Europe and America be- lieve. The struggle is between the billion workers and farm- ers on this globe, of all colors and races, and the small hand- ful of pena who rule thru the iron fist of their dictator- ship. That is something the Institute on Pacific Relations will not discuss. And when it is discussed by anyone else, it will be denouncced as Bolshevism. But in Bolshevism, as Paposed to imperialism, lies the hope of the workers of the world.

REDS, PROTECT BLOODY GUNMEN Giard Home of Sam Genna, Bootlegger Sam Genna is hiding under the pro tection of a police guard. The man from whose trembling lips came the plea for help, which the police answered, is the brother of Tony, who has answered the sum- mons of a gangster’s gun, A month ago his brother Mike, known as “The Killer,” was shot down and killed by Sergeant William Sweeney after two policemen had been killed. Seven weeks ago his brother, An- gelo, “The Bloody” died when a saw- ed off shotgun in the hands of an as- sassin spoke its message. The appeal for protection came after he had been questioned by police re- garding his brother’s death yesterday and had been told he could go, As a result of his plea police are guard- ing the Genna family. They are also searching for two members of the O’Banion gang to question them re- garding the killing of Tony Genna. “They're going to get all of us Gen- na’s,” said Sam Genna, “and I’m next. I know. I’ve been told. I was told that Tony would get it. So was he. They said they’d get all of us.” NEW ATTACK OF RIFFIANS DRAWS CLOSE TO FEZ (Continued from page 1) ing so only by the machine guns of the French. Moroccans Launch New Attack, The new attack of the Moroccans l has been launched along the Ourgha river between Mjara and Tinaicha, and is pushing directly toward the capital. Marshal Lyautey is rushing all available tanks, cavalry, machine guns, and infantry to the north front. Reports from Madrid declare that Abd-el-Krim, will be offered “autonomy under a Spanish protectorate.” This is regarded as a farce as it is de- finitely known that Krim will not accept a Spanish protectorate as the price of peace. American aviators have been press- ed into the service of French im- perialism. Those who have already enlisted in a French foreign ‘aviation anit to fight the Moroccans include Granville A. Pollack of New Orleans and Charles W. Kerwood of Phila- delphia, Premier Painleve’s policy of war- ring on the Moroccans at the instiga- tion of the French bankers to protect their interests, was again opposed in the chamber of deputies when Pain- leve asked an additinoal credit of 183,000,000 francs ($9,150,000) to pur- sue the imperialistic war. The credit was passed over the opposition of the Communists. EVOLUTION IS NOW TAUGHT IN U. OF TENNESSEE, NEAL (Continued from page 1) morning on “What shall I do with Je sus?” and is to teach a Methodist Sunday school class next Sunday. Bryan has declared that the issue is the Bible against science in the com- ing trial, and he would prohibit the teaching of science and make the Bi- ble a part of the federal constitution, over-riding the United States supreme court if necessary. He recognizes the fact that scientific truths expose the Bible’s story of creation as a fairy tale, and is anxious to suppress the truth and make the bed time stories (as well as the bedroom stories) of the Bible, a part of the law. Darrow Thinks Bryan Gullible The defense counsel, in answering Bryan’s utterances, reiterate that the anti-evolution law is a violation of the state and federal constitutions, violating the rights of free speech and free opinion. Clarence Darrow, defense attorney, declared, “If Mr. Bryan thinks a Ten- nhessee court or jury is going to have any influence on the thot and investi- gations of the world he’s a very gulli- ble man.” “Bryan is a little bit off on religion,” was the comment of John Scopes, the defendant, Urge Federal Divorce Laws INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 9.—A national uniform marriage and divorce law to replace the existing “hodge podge” of state statutes was urged on the nation by Mrs, Edward Franklin White, reporter for the Indiana su- preme and appellate courts, in an ad- dress before the Indiana Bar associa- tion here today. ; MacMillan at Hopedale, WASHINGTON, July 9—After buck- ing a forty mile wind, the MacMillas Arctic expedition has arrived at Hope- dale, Labrador, said a Qi to the National ( ;
