Marshman had said in his speech
that he hoped the men would go back
to work. He had declared he thought
McLaren and Gum, the slave.driving
and understanding lackeys Of the
Pullman Company, were "big men,"
II believe if the men who are black
listed go up and ask Gum in a nice
way, they will get their jobs back"
said the mushy-mouthed Marshman.
The speech of the DAILY WORKER
reporter seemed to get under Marsh
mans skin. After the DAILY WORK
Err reporter left the floor, Marshman
rushed over to him and spoke in
very conciliatory manner. why do
you knock me?" asked Marshman.
"You know / am friendly to labor, l
used to work with Oscar Nelson.
made a weak speech purposely to-
night so that the men would vote not
to return to work. / believe the men
will reject the Companys proposition.
really believe that the blacklisted
strike leaders will be taken back to
work"
The DAILY WORKER reporter re-
piled that Gum and McLaren and
Marshman himself, were not fit to
wipe the shoes of the strike leaders.
He said it was no victory to go crawl
ing up to the Pullman officials like
whipped logs and begging for their
jobs. He declared Marshman an
enemy of labor, practically in the en-
ploy Of the large corporations, who
should be discredited by labor.
Jack Mccarthy, circulation man
ager of the DAILY WORKER, also
spoke.

Daily Worker On Job.
The reporter for the DAILY WORK
Err took the floor, just before the
vote. He declared, 1.-THE DAILY
WORKER does not want you to go
back to work. If you do, do not go
back joyousIy. Realize that you are
beaten. But whether or not you go
back to work, we want to assure you
that the DAILY WORKER is sup
porting you. We will be on the job
in the next Pullman strike, and we
will be on the job to help you organ
lie within the shop.
BENJAMIN Marshman seems pleased
that you are going back to work with
out guarantees. He says hey repre-
sents the government. Sure, Marsh
man represents the government. He
represents the government just as
those cops who slugged you and
dragged you Off to Jail represent the
government. Marshman and the Pull
man Company represent the govern
ment, because big business, including
the Pullman Company, control and
run the government.
"Marshman wants to see you go
back to work on no matter what
terms. 1t would be a feather in his
cap if he could tell his masters that
he had smashed this strike. He would
be aiding big business well. Marsh
man, like the government he repre-
sents, is a professional strikebreaker."

RURAL TEACHERS
WAGES AS Low
AS $500 YEARLY
Widespread Indifference
to Education
az The Federated Pressl

WASHINGTON, July IT, - Rural
schools in the United States in 1928
numbered about 800, 900 out of total
of 100000 in the public school system
Of the country. These rural teachers
got as low as $500 a year in some
regions; their average salary, for one
room schools in the farming country,
was 1929 year. Nearly 100000 Of
them had this average pay.
The U. S. Bureau of Education, in a
special report on the subject prepared
by Alex. Summers, shows that in 10
states there were 3,0S7 teachers re-
ceiving less than $500 a year in one
teacher schools. The two.teacher
schools paid salaries averaging $737,
and the three-teacher schools paid
S843 average. Consolidated schools
paid an average of 1864, while the
country village schools average $1,141
per teacher. The principal of a large
elementary school got $1,375, and the
principal Of bigger school in which
both grade and high school work is
given was paid $1,654 At the affluent
top of this financial ladder of educa-
ton was the principal of the rural
high school, boasting of salary Of
$1,916
"The rural trustee knows that he
can hire some kind of a teacher for
almost any low price he may OFFER"
says the report. THE absolute pow
erty of his district may compel him
to do this, but far too frequently the
lack of money to pay a good teacher
is due to the refusal of the community
to raise the funds. Often the reason
is nothing but lack of interest in the
education Of the children"

NEW YORK, July 17.-New York
public schools will be used to wider
extent in the future in branding i'm
migrants with Americanization Of the
100 per cent variety, if the board of
education acts upon such an appeal re-
ceived from the so-called Council of

letter. ''The new quota law assures us
that we viii no longer be annually

Cicero Police Who
Fine "Topsy" Fought
Daily Worker Man
BY CLARENCE MILLER

CICERO, July 1T would like to
tell the truth. / thought that the lies
in the Chicago press ought to be cor
rected. To me it makes no difference
whether the Duncans or the police
department are put into prison"
This was a statement made by a
witness in the case Of the town of
Cicero VS.. Duncan. The attorney for
the Duncan family was so puzzled
with this declaration that he imme-
diately suspected that the witness
was politician, and so he devoted
all of his time questioning the wit
ness as to his relations with politics
or politicians Of Cicero. Otherwise
one could see that the whole case
was a farce and that 1t was settled
before 1t ever came up to court.
The case has raised lots of noise
in the capitalist press of Chicago. 1t
is resulting in plenty Of publicity for
Miss Duncan of the Duncan Sisters
musical comedy "Topsy and Eva"
The case was result OF Miss Ro-
setta Duncan receiving broken nose,
while officer Delaney received a red
scar and officer WLodlock had his
arm bitten. as a result Of an argu-
ment between the Duncans who on
July were returning from a patri-
otto pre-volstead party, and the Cicero
police who tried to arrest them for
violating traffic regulations.
Some time ago in the same court
room DAILY WORKER reporter
was up on charges for telling the peo-
pie of Cicero how the Western Elec-
trio Co. dominates the welfare OF the
citizens Of Cicero thru the influence
exerted by the Western Electric com
|pany on the officials of theAtown. The
same Judge and the same police were
involved in both Of these cases.

Newsie for Years

BERKELEY, Cal, July 17,-After
being beaten up several times by hus-
ky students and arrested over and
over again, Herman Meyling, who has
sought for years to call radical and
liberal periodicals to the attention OF
students of the University of Cali,
fornia, has given up his stand in front
of the campus.
Meylig, half blind and very infirm in
health, has endured persecution at the
hands of students and Berkeley police
ever since the war. Unable to scare
or starve him out, the authorities fin
ally arrested him for obstructing the
sidewalk, and he will now move his
stand, but will not give up his valiant
efforts to educate the Rabbits.
