They claim they recognize in it only an-+— —— other indication of his scheme to strike at their organization and break its strength, In line with the idea of dressing up the teachers is his former) recom- mendation of a few weeks ago to in- stall lavender brackboards and the use of peach colored chalk to bright- en up the teachers’ job. These com- ing immediately upon the heels of his installation of the “clock punching” system, his new salary schedule which aims to burden the teachers with still larger classrooms, his death blow to the teachers councils, his de- nial to them of the night to receive notices of federation meetings, etc., etc, have made the teachers wary of his “gifts.” Judging from the state- ment issued by the Chicago Teachers Federation thru its head, Miss Marga- ret Haley, the teachers are on to his drive for open, shop rule in the schools.

Wolfe First Speaker. The first speaker, Comrade Bertram D. Wolfe, agitprop director of District No. 2, of the Workers (Communist) Party, said that if you examine the candidates for mayor, you find that Waterman, the Yrepttblican candidate, is no hired man of Wall Street, but a part of Wall Street himself, a mil- lionaire in his own name, who offers the rule of Wall Street to New York, which we must ‘fight against, for we know what it has done in Latin-Amer- ica, Europe, Asia and Africa. Walker, the democratic candidate, while a member of the state senate, was a member of a committee which has as its purpose the regulation of the sale of food in the state, and at the same time he was on the payroli of the meat trust. The elementary question is separating the workers from the capitalist parties, and tonight, if the socialist party has any interest in the working class, they will join in a united labor ticket.

Today, 6,000 textile workers in New Jersey mills have had their wages cut. Look into the platform of either’the republican, democratic or socialist’ parties and see if you can find any mention of wage reduction.

SHARP! Now that the British monopoly on rubber has forced the price so high as to be almost prohibitive,. it threatens the whole auto industry. Hence a mad scramble for new sourc- es of raw material. Experiments in the Philippines prove that rubber trees can be. rais- ed here equally as well as they grow in the tropics. The notion that rub- ber can be grown only within a radius of ten degrees of the equator is now exploded as a myth. Supply of Cheap Labor, A survey recently conducted not only proves that rubber can be rais- ed on the Mindanao and Palawan is- lands, but that the cost per acre to bring the trees to full bearing age— seven years—is but $90 as compared EXPERIMENTS IN PHILIPPINES WILL MAKE NATIVES SLAVES OF A,GIGANTIC RUBBER INDUSTRY Dally Worker) 14.—Great Britain is to be sertously challenged in the world monopoly of rubber that she enjoys at present, if reports of hilippine Islands prove well-founded. In the early years of the use of the automobile and the consequent rising British capitalists began stealthily to commodity, until recently that nation Your Union Meeting Third Thursday, Oct. 15, 1926, with $400 on the plantations in Sama- tra, South America. In addition to this advantage for capitalist investors, there is an inex- haustable supply of potential wage slaves and coolies that can be driven onto the plantations. It costs but $5 to transport a native workman from the island of Cebu to Mindano, and there are more than one million of them available. The United States at present con- sumes 400,000 tons of rubber per year. This could be supplied by the product of 2,000,000 acfes, less than one-third of the public domain in one province alone. Thus the competition between the imperialist nations drives them to draw into the industrial hells of capi- talism ever larger numbers of the colonial peoples already in political bondage, to the great powers.

In conclusion, Mr. Wang Leng ‘em- phaized the necessity for Chinese re- volutionists to rally together and and make stronger efforts, because the defeat of the Canton government would be a most serious blow ,to the movement.

TWO CENTS THE DAILY WORKER CHICAGO BANK CLERKS’ OFFICIALS WARY OF GREEN Afraid Charter May Be Revoked 14.—Repudiation of radical resolu- CHICAGO, Oct sponsorship for the tions introduced at the American Federation of Labor convention by their delegate and president was the principal action of the Chicago Bank Employes’ Association executive board 5 soon as could take action on the matter. The union is directly chartered by the A. F. of L. execu- tive council and both its property and its existence are imperiled if it runs counter to federation policy. Pres. Joe Shafir of the union (which is Federal Local 17,709) is one of the senior clerks at the Amal- gamated Trust & Savings, Chicago's labor bank. He is a known red, his membership in the Workers Party be- ing no secret. He was sent to intro- duce two resolutions on unionizing bank clerks, both of which passed the convention. But he then stood responsible for a sheaf of resolutions emba g the radical political and industrial pro- gram of the left wing, including hos- tility to labor banking that is not of a truly co-operative character. The union board, when it learned of Shafir’s action thru the press, wired Secretary Frank Morrison of the A. F. of L. that he was not un- der instructions to introduce the ad- ditional resolutions and that the union repudiated them. This action is ex- pected to save the union charter tho it may not avert action by the A.
