UNION MAN SPURNS
DAWES INVITATION
Joseph A. Wise, Veteran, AS
serts Candidate Backed
Foes of Labor.

A letter written by Joseph A. Wise,
member of the Chicago Typograph-
ical Union. to William NJ. Butler
chairman of the Republican national
committee, declining an invitation TO
attend the ceremonies of notIhcation
for Charles c. Dawes, was made pub
lie last night by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. Mr.. Wise said he
would not attend because he prefers
to choose the Constitution and re
pudiate the party candidate IN the
present campaign"
Reviewing the last judicial cleo
ton in Chicago and the part which
he said Mr.. Dawes took in supporting
a judge opposed by labor in that
election, Mr. Wise said in his letter:
Reviews Illinois Race.
"About 10 months ago I took an
active part in the campaign to de-
feat a Democratic judge in COOK
County, Judga Dennis +. sullivan.
who had become known as one of the
most drast injunction judges in the
Middle West. When that campaign
was at it's height and Judge Sullivan
was facing defeat, Charles q. Dawes
rallied his personal following to the
support of this Democratic inJunc-
ton judge and, in so doing, made the
astounding declaration that in lsSu-
Il
stricting the rights Of citizens Judge
Sullivan was merely acting in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
Constitution.
..Throuch the efforts OF Mr.. Dawes
Judge sullivan was reelected by the
votes which Mr.. Dawes personally
obtained for him in Evanston and
other towns surrounding Chicago.
While doing this, Mr.. Dawes directed
some vicious verbal attacks against
we'll known and widely respected
trade union officers. He was joined
in this by one William L. Foster

UNION COLLEGE
 TO REOPEN AGAIN
 ON TUESDAY NEXT
School at Brookwood to Begin Fourth Year Under Auspicious
 Skies

Broollwood, the only resident trade union college in the United States, sit uated at Katonah, N Y, 40 miles from New York City, will open its doors for its fourth year on October 9 There is a capacity enrolment of about SO stu dents, of about 1-3 women and 2-5 men. A considerable number of applicants have had to be rejected this year for lack of space. Thus each year witnesses a growing demand on the part of the American labor movement for the train ing that BrookwOod is able to give During its first year 19 students were in attendance, the second %, and the third 38 This year the half century mark is reached.
 The students, most of whom are en- tering for a two year course, will rep resent over a dozen different industries and international unions. This year

A 14-year old South Carolina boy re- gently killed his aunt and seriously wounded her three small children with an ax He reported that a negro had committed the crime, which resulted III a search by hundreds of armed men for the negro, who was revealed as a myth when the boy confessed that he himself had made the attack.
 Lies such as the one told by the boy have been responsible for no one knows how many lynchings of negroes in the South, on charges ranging from sass ing" white man to rape and murder. Judging from what has happened in the past, if suspicious looking negro had been found in the vicinity before the boy made his confession, the negro would have been lynched without cere- mony The Southerner, for all his boasted civilization and alleged Chris tianity, seems altogether too prone to believe a charge against negro and to disgrace himself and his nation by wrecking barbarous vengeance on the first negro that crosses his path. This state of mind has had much to do with making the United States the most law less nation on the earth and with giv- ing 1t the inevitable distinction of being the only Civilized country that toleT- ates the burning of human beings alive.
 
 A battle cry that should stir the heart of every American wage earner has been sounded by the Rhode Island Tex tile Council. In statement announc- ing the intention of the United Textile Workers to fight, wage cuts in New England, the Council says:
 The workers must resist these cuts in wages or forever admit that textile workers are not entitled to a living wage. . We serve notice upon en- ployers everywhere that we are inde- pendent Americans and not chattels to be used at the beck of unscrupulous manufacturers"
 That is the way for American 10 talk and if the textile barons are determined to slash wages, they will undoubtedly get all the fight they want. If the work CTS are forced to strike, they will have the support of the entire labor move ment, as well as that of progressive men and women outside the labor movement and this support will give them the vic tory

there will be an unusually large increase in the number of miners. Men from Districts l, 2 5, 9 and 12 of the United Mine Workers of America are enrolled. This includes both bituminOus and an- thracite miners from the important coal mining state of Pennsylvania and Illi- nois. Many of the students have served as organizers and officials in the unions from which they come.
 In addition to American trade union ists, workers from several other coun- tries will be in attendance, including England, Denmark, Belgium and Japan. Steps are being taken by the General Confederation of Mexico to provide for the sending of Mexican trade unionists to Brookwood for training. Ii is ex- pected that official action will be taken at the General Convention of the Mexi- can Federation following the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor in November of this year.
 To the numerous international, state and city labor organizations supporting Brookwood through the establishment of scholarships or otherwise, a consid- erable number of organizations have been added during the past summer These include the American Federation of Full-Fashioned Hosiery Workers, the United Textile Workers of Amer ica, the International Association of Machinists and the Detroit Federation of Labor. The Central Trades and La Dor Council of Greater New York and l Vicinity continues its constant and close cooperation with the work of the col | lege.
 Entering students will find work wei under way on the two cottages destine; to house instructors families. The cree ton of these cottages leaves more room in other buildings for students and thu makes possible the increased enrollnen of the present year. With these addi lions Brookwood will have two larg structures and five smaller houses
