KANSAS CITY
foster MEET
Big SUCCESS
LGFolIette Man Joins
Workers Party
Especial to the Daily wOrksr.)

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 3.
William z. Foster addressed
packed hall filled with en-
thusiastic workers on Labor
Day. In spite of the sabotage
of the takers and the widely adj
vertised radio speech of Bluff
ing Bob, the Communists filled
to capacity the same hall that
the LaFollette committee had
been unable to half fill for their
national speakers.
Comrade Foster was in fine
fettle. He was welcomed by a
cyclone of applause that made
the two seedy finks jump and
look round in bewilderment. He
dismissed Cal and Morgan's
slavey briefly, then shed his
coat and went after Bob.
Bob Is Squashed.
He analysed without mercy his rec
ord and his program and contrasted
both at every point with that of the
Workers Party. He spoke at length
and was followed attentively by the
crowd. Not a single worker left the
hall: indeed, they were reluctant to
leave at the end and stayed to get
petition blanks to put the Communist
ticket on the ballot. Foster gravely
warned his audience that he was not
sure of his election this year, but in
vited them to work for that fast-near-
ing day when the Communists will
rule America.
Bob's Man Joins Party.
Among the applicants to join. the
Workers Party was a member of the
LaFollette State Committee. This
brother was disguised by the hard
boiled attitude of Nelson, LaFollette's
boss, who ordered the State Commit
tee to purge itself of its trade union
elements and represent all classes"
We welcome him to the fight against
open enemies and treacherous allies.

TO
JUNIOR HIGH
SCHOOLS GROWS
Parents in Injunction
Writ Plea

In spite of bitter opposition
on the part of parents whose
children are to be transferred to
other and crowded schools so
that the Harper school, 6520 S.
Wood ST., may be transformed
into a Junior High scholar
opposition which has the back
ing of the organized labor
bodies of Chicago-officials of
the Board of Education, with
the help of police, yesterday
organized the classes of the
Harper school on the basis of
the Junior high school system.
Hearing on the writ of in
junction obtained by parents to
prevent the transfer of their
children was postponed until
Friday morning.
Charles NJ. Moderwell, president of
the board of education, yesterday
opened fire on the Chicago Teachers
Federation, which he opposes both for
its attempts to unionize Chicago
teachers and for the consistent fight
which it has waged against the intro
duction of the platoon and junior high
school systems. At the same time
Superintendent McAndrew, in his an.
nual report, fired few skirmish shots
into the camp of the organized teach.
ers, whom he characterized as a
"disloyal and undisciplined minority. .
With the disturbance attending the
opening OF the schools, the long-con-
tinued fight of the Chicago Teachers
Federation and of other organized la.
Dor bodies, against the introduction
of the platoon system into the schools
of Chicago is expected to come to g
head.
This is really the fight of Margaret
Haley, business agent for the Teach,
ers' Federation, and the Federation OF
Labor to take the administration OF
the schools away from the superin
tendent and the board of education,
said Mr.. Moderwell.
The platoon system has been brand
ed by organized labor bodies as
meaning "a revival of the ancient
caste system, the sidetracking of chill
dren of men and women with small
incomes to the factory door, the
brand of inferiority upon productive
workers, false economy, harmful to
the entire nation and other detrimen
tai results" The platoon and the ju
nior high school systems, It Is
charged, are designed TO facilitate
classification OF pupils into standard
groups.
The overcrowding and underequip'
ment OF school buildings, which Su'
perintendent McAndrew reveals in
his report, is due to nothing but the
illegal tax evasion practiced by the
rich, which is robbing children of the
poor of their rightful educational op-
portunities. Chicago labor bodies
claim.

BUSINESS men,
MILITAR|STS IN
DEFENSE move
Day Is Compared to
War Time Call

That the big business inter-
ests are the ones who are really
behind the drive for MobiIiza-
ton Day on September II, is
evidenced by, circular, posted
in the Boston Store, one of the
biggest of the State Street De-
partment Stores, which has just
reached the DAILY WORKER.
The Boston Store circular,
posted in all parts of the big
establishment, reads:
'In the year 1916 you were
called to Arms for a Prepared
ness Day. In 1917, you were
called to Arms for War. On
both occasions the employees
of this store responded in num-
Der, demonstrating their patri-
otto spirit"
The circular continues: ION SEP
TENDER 18th, 1924, YOU WILL BE
CALLED TO ARMS FOR A DEFENSE
DAY DETAIL"
Free Lunch For Patriots
The employees of the store will form
on Dearborn Street at 1880 a. m. on
the morning of September IL and will
march to Grant Park, where a lunch
con viii be served free Of charge. (Who
is paying for these free lunches?)
That this is not an isolated instance
Of Big Business backing this mobiliza-
tion maneuver can be seen in the pre-
parations being made for Der Tag" in
Woodlawn. The Woodlawn Business
Mems Association is running the pa
triotic show there, fireworks and ALL
At the state convention of the
Illinois American Legion unit, at
Champaign, Defense Day was also en-
dorsed after Gen. Charles ~ Martin,
assistant Chief of Staff of the United
States Army denied that the day was
in any way militarist move.
Hale Gives 1t Away
Unfortunately for the soundness of
this statement, Maj. Gen. Harry G..
Hale, commanding officer of the sixth
army corps area, in an address before
luncheon held by the Rotary Club at
the Sherman hotel here, spilled the
beans by saying: LET America show
its patriotism on September II. Let's
give the world the word of how we
stand"
Defense Day is intended to show
"the world'-that is, the imperialists
of other nations,-that the United
States is ready at moments notice
to defend the profits and investments
of its capitalists in any country, on
any sea, in any island.

six persons in the rioting here Sat

When the inquest opened. quiet,

Less than 20 persons were in the

The absence Of Gauigan was ex-
planned by Capt. Bigelow, command
ing the militia detail here, who said
he would remain at Marion in the
hope Of averting trouble.
The inquest. which had been her

OF an armed clash, but of sensational
testimony passed without special in
cident. The Khan and its sympathiz-
ers were left in unopposed command
and they gave their various versions
of Saturdays disorders. These show
ed wide discrepancies. due, II is be-
lieved to the fact that an accurate
version Of the entire AFFAIR is probably

Fishwick regime has been rising high
ever since the open alliance against
all progressive measures that was
made between the district president
and the international president, John
L. Lewis The rank and file of the
miners in District IL are aroused over
Farrington's growing concern over
the welfare not of the miners but OF

movement; his failure to do anything
to fight against tn eterrible scourge
Of unemployment, and his general re-
dictionary record.

EMPLOYING 1870,
NOW CLOSED UP
Other Industries Also
Increase Jobless

MURPHRYSBORO, ILL.,, Sept. s.
The Mine No. 8 of the Consolidated
Coal company, employing 1870 men,
shut down yesterday, adding further
to the acute industrial depression in
this town. The No. 9 Mine has been
threatening to suspend for some days,
the Murphrysboro paper vainly try
ing to keep the people fooled into
thinking the mine was going to con-
tinue operation thru the winter. Just
three days ago this business mems
paper came out with front pape
headline, mine No. may be work
ing all winter" However this is
small comport for the workers now
that the mine has actually closed
down for the winter at least.
Bad Conditions Everywhere.
The Mobile and Ohio railroad car
shops have been laying off men in
Murphrysboro, 1873 being laid off a
few weeks ago. The other industry
of the town, the Brown shoe company,
while it is working part of its force,
hires only young girls, paying them
$500 per week.
business conditions are bad. The
only mines working are the Blair no.
8 mine, employing ten men, the Utility
mine, employing sixty men, which
works three days, and the No. 10
mine of the Consolidated, employing
20 men which works three days per
week.
