FILIDUSTER IN
DELAY ATTEMPT
ON B. & 0. plan
Machine Waiting for
Delegates to Quit
Especial to The Daily Worker,

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 25.-
Last minute desperate attempts
are being made by the official
machine at the convention of
the international Association of
Machinists, to delay considera-
ton of the B. & o plan while
the rank and file delegates are
here in full force.
The obvious purpose of the
delay, which is being accom-
plished by machine filibustering
with all sorts of minor issues, is
to cause the rank and file dele
gates, whose money is giving
out, to return home and give
the takers clear, safe majority.
Rank and Filters Leave.
Already more than twenty dele
gates have been, obliged to leave and
the issue is still kept off the floor.
Despite this, frenzied attempts are
being made by the Johnston bureau
cracy to line up every possible dele
gate in favor of the class cooperation
scheme which is playing havoc with
the organization.
A fossilized sergeant-at-arms, acting
on the instructions of Johnston and
Davidson, threatened visitors who
were making notes of the convention
with election from the hall unless
they ceased. The fear of an accurate
report of what actually happened at
this convention is certainly weighing
on the minds of the takers.
The militant delegates are making
plans for the consideration of the B.
& o. plan at the first moment.

PLANT OF MILITANT

MINERS BURNED DOWN
BY JOHN A. McRURY.

(By Telegram to DAILY WORKER.)
GLAcE BAY, Nova Scotia, Cana
DAP Sept. 25.-on the verge Of its
fourth anniversary of existence and
struggle on behalf of the militant
labor movement of Glaze Bay, the
Maritime Labor Herald plant was
burned to the ground here, involv-
ing a total loss of twenty thousand
dollars.
The paper is being printed by
an outside concern and an imme-
date investigation has been called
for.
All evidence points to the fact
that the crime was committed with
malicious intent by local reaction
airy hirelings as the final shot of
the deserving rats who attempted to
retaliate for the publicity accorded
to them in the last issue of the
Herald.
The paper had a brilliant history
in the defense of the miners and

ish Empire Steel Corporation, and
was the center OF inspiration in the
brave fight of the members of the
United Mine Workers of America
against the reactionary leadership
of John L. Lewis, and his imported
provisional officers" It also car
ried on bitter struggle against the
will-o-the-wisp policies of the split
tiers like Ben Legere of the One Big
Union. The tragedy occurs imme-
diately following the announcement
by Lewis that he was going to with
draw the provisional officers ap-
pointed by him and permit new
elections.
The paper had been under the
brilliant editorship of Tom Bell,
and, later, it was taken over by Jim
MeLachIan, deposed leader of the
miners.

Concerns that sell supplies for the

cement sellers, have been asked to
contribute ito a $175,O0O slush fund
which Governor Small is attempting
to raise to put over the 100000, 900

men have refused to turn this money
over to Len Small as they do not

Small is attempting to raise the
money to use in his personal cam

Large Profits in Roads.
However, the cement sellers have
their own publicity organization, the
Portland cement association, which
they admit will be used in a vigorous
campaign to put over the bond issue.
The road building game is produc-
tive of high percentage of profits,
and the cement sellers will put thou
sands of dollars into getting the peo-
pie to vote for it, A large percentage

NC ANDREW GETS
FAKE VOTES TO
down TEACHERS
Mass Meeting Called to
Launch New Fight

With the help of the votes of
three trustees of the Chicago
school board whose terms have
already expired, Superintendent
of Schools William McAndrew
has secured the adoption of an
amendment to the rules of the
board which abridges the right
of the teachers to meet and to
organize councils as they see
fit.
After the refusal of both the
committee on rules and the
committee on administration to
concur in the opinion of the
superintendent that under the
rules as they stood he was not
obliged to call the councils to-
gether, McAndrew suddenly
changed his tactics and asked
for complete revision of the
rules.
The revision was granted at the last
meeting of the board.
Pack Board Votes.
Three of the trustees voted to sup
port the teachers against the high
handed actions of the superintendent.
OF the six who upheld him, one is
Hard Hanson, whose term on the
school board expired year, and FIVE
months ago. The terms of both Julius
F. Smietenka and William K. Fellows,
who also upheld McAndrew, expired
five months ago.
By appointment of new members for
the members whose terms have expir-
ed, Mayor Dever would have been able
to give his aid to the teachers, most
of whom followed the lead of the Off
cialdom of the Teachers Federation
in supporting the democratic party
in the last local elections. The may
or's Office yesterday indicated that no
changes will be made for a time.
McAndrew's DespotIc Rule.
The prediction of the rank and file
teachers that a victory Of the super
intendent in this matter would be fol-
lowed by more aggressive action on
his part is borne out by the submits
sion by McAndrew to the committee
on administration of a resolution en-
towering the superintendent to force
teachers ito attend, without dismiss
sal of any regular classes, meetings
called for any school day other than
Friday"
If this resolution passes the board
McAndrew's assertion that the time of
the teachers is at the disposal of the
superintendent during all of the TWEEN
ty-four hours of the day would have
a basis in school law.
The resolution further refers to the
'untenable proposition that the Board
of Education authorizes the payment
of teachers for only the times when
they are in the presence Of their class
es." Implication is made that teach
ers should be forced to prepare" for
their work without extra compensa-
ton.
