Drop Fight on the
Young Workers League
At Minneapolis, MINI.

Especial to The DAILY WoRKERl
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Oct. o.
When the four Young Workers League
members arrested here for speaking
on street corners came before Judge
Gunner Nordbye yesterday morning
they found that the case was practic-
ally dropped. There were no police
officers or Nabisco company officials
anywhere in sight and Judge Nordbye
the third judge in the case, informed
the comrades, Carl Cowl, Morton
Green, Jerry PETIT and Leslie Hart,
that there would be no further trouble
and no more arrests made if the
league confined it's meetings to two
speakers.
The arrest of the three comrades
from the Young Workers League has
stirred up so much interest in the
party work here that the authorities
feel the arrests had just the opposite
effect Notwithstanding the atten.
ton and public sympathy to the party.

Attack on Salaries.
The certainty of the teachers that
the attack on their councils would be
followed by attacks on their salaries
has been justified by the letter sent

pointed to revise salary schedules.
That this attack on salaries, coupled
with the insistent refusal of the board
to abolish the custom of secret mark.
ings, is nothing more than an attempt
which the system was operated by
Superintendent Cooley = in which
teachers were ruthlessly cheated out
of their salaries-is the unanimous
opinion of the school teachers.
1t is now quite certain that the
teachers will send representatives to
Springfield for help early next year.
But the most effective and sensible
action on these matters the teachers
of the schools have not yet considered.
There is no reason why the teachers,
deprived of their legal right" to meet
for few moments Of the school day
to discuss their school problems,
should not take matters into their own
hands, dismiss their classes at an ap.
pointed time, and hold their councils
among themselves.

Adoption of the arbitration and dis.

The protocol pledges the league to

SILENT CALVIN
COOLIDGE UNDER
The MICROSCOPE
Always Willing Tool of
the Bosses
(By Federated Press)

WASHINGToN-Lynn Haines, in 6
special number of his Searchlight or
Congress, demolishes the Coolidge
myth Taking the man from his col
lege days and following his public
career down to the present time
Haines shows him furtive, indecisive
machine-loyal creature of the late
Murray Crane. He rose thru the mis-
fortune of others and thru wholesale
misrepresentation of evident facts to
the White House.
Even Opposes Union Stamp.
In the Massachusetts, legislature in
1907, for instance, Coolidge voted
against bill protecting the trade
union stamp; in the same year he
voted for a special joint committee
to consider the expediency of legis-
lation with respect to the relations
between employers and employees" to
which labor was then opposed; in
1907, also, when labor wanted the
state to establish old age pensions,
he voted against it. In 1913, when
labor favored 80 in IL" bill regulat.
ing the hours Of street railway EN-
ployes, Coolidge voted against it,
He later voted against the passage
of this bill over the governors veto.
In 1913 labor had an amendment to
put teeth in a legislative investigation
of the Lawrence strike; he voted
against it. On four occasions he voted
referendum on items Of public
business. Whenever railroad interests
were involved, as in the legalizing of
unlawful acts of the New Haven
merger crowd, he voted with the rail
road financiers.
So thru his career in the two
branches of the legislature, and as
lieutenant governor and governor, up
to September, 1919, when the police
strike, forced by police commissioner
Curtis, gave him his safe road to ma
tional advertising, Coolidge was the
colorless servant of special privilege,
worming his way forward while &C.
cepting no risks.

Opening Wedge.
To an outsider, the uproar over the
question of whether teachers coun-
ellis are to be held on school time or
on teachers time may seem like a
tempest in a teapot. Wide-awake
teachers of Chicago know that to re-
fuse five hours Of school time in the
course Of a year for the purpose of
allowing teachers voice in the man
'agement of the schools, while it may
not be in itself serious matter, is
the entering wedge whereby the bust
ness oligarchy that seeks complete
control Of the schools of the city can
gain it's final ends.
When William McAndrew this Fall
began his attempt to prevent the
teachers from holding councils during
school hours, the organized teachers
predicted further aggression.
The teachers predicted. for example,
that if the councils were pushed out
of the regular school program, the
superintendent would next proceed tc
a complete humiliation of the coun-
ellis as they are now organized, and an
attempt to reorganize them in such
way as to have principals, district
