GENERAL CHARLES G.. DAWES
~ is very vocal and clustering in
his challenge to the "subversive
forces that are seeking to jimmy
Coolidge out of the white house. But
when the gallant general is asked to
say a few words about his relations
with the crook Lorimer, he is as silent
as a clam except when he must say
something and then he resorts to
abuse. Dawes is one of the biggest
wind bags in America and the most
brazen and empty headed demagogue.

UNMASK DEvER
AS HOSTILE TO
THE TEACHERS
Mayor Has Power to
Give Supt. Big BIow

The organized teachers of
Chicago, in appealing to Spring.
field for aid in their struggle
against an autocratic super
intendent of schools and a big
business board, expect to find a
legislature frienolv to their in
terests and disposed to help
them to keep their union intact,
Nora O'Connor, organizer for
the Chicago Teachers Fedora
ton, told the DAILY WORKER
yesterday.
The state legislature has
lagain and again proved itselfa
friendly to the Chicago teach
ers, it is claimed.
1t is pointed out that it helped them
lsecure a teachers pension fund in
1907. 1t helped them to keep this
fund when it was attacked by business
men and other political enemies. 1t
helped them two years ago to secure
better system of pensions than they
have had previously.
Backed by 5000 Teachers.
1.-The legislature can't resist helping
us when they hear that the representa-
tive we send them is the spokesman
for eight thousand people," is the way
in which Margaret Haley, business
agent of the federation, explains the
attitude of the Springfield body.
Extreme disappointment has been
expressed among the members of the
federation with the attitude of Mayor
Dever in whom members Of the fed
Grafton placed high hopes at the time
of the last city election.
Dever has the power to appoint four
new members, for members whose
terms have expired, and swing the
balance of power in favor of the
teachers. OF these four, three mem
bers are extremely inimical to the
teachers. The fourth, John Dill Robert
son, who was appointed to the board
in spite of the fact that he had Just
been exposed by the American Med
ical Association as the head of fake
diploma mill, the Bennett Medical
College, resigned when he was Of
fered a more lucrative job in the
service of the government.
Dever is Evasive.
Dever's attitude since the beginning
of the open break between the teach
ers and Superintendent McAndrew,
has been non-committal and evasive.
Officials in the mayors, Office answer
all questions as to what Dever intends
to do by such statements as: what
can he do? What do you expect him
to do?"
1t is hoped that Dever will give a
definite statement of his position to
the committee of three teachers, ap-
pointed by the members of the feder-
alton, who will visit him early this
week.
Fear Attack on Wages.
The fears of the teachers that the
attack on councils would be followed
by an attack on salaries has been
heightened by the receipt of letter
by the principals of the schools, sent
by Superintendent McAndrew and ask
ing that commission be appointed to
revise the salary schedule.
Miss Haley has made public the
fact that a letter written by the
Teachers Federation and asking that
the board consider the abolition of
the system Of secret markings, was
suppressed by the superintendent at
the last meeting. The secret mark
ings given teachers on their examine
tons have for years been the subject
of bitter controversy between the
rank and file teachers and the board.

DECIDED DRIFT
TO COMMUNISM
Workers in Big Shop
Cast Big Foster Vote

William Z. Foster, Commun-
list candidate for president, re-
ceived IL per cent of the entire
vote cast at the Cuneo-Henne-
berry Company plant, the
largest printing shop in Chi
cago.
OF the 222 votes, Foster re-
ceived 80, LaFollette ia, Cool
idge Sc, Davis 19 and Andy
Gump 1.
Under the LaFoIIette Illusion.
The ia votes cast for LaFollette
proves the strong hold the LaFollette
illusion has on the imagination of the
more enlightened workers in this
plant, as we'll as in almost all the
others visited
The Cuneo-Hennebery plant takes
in two large buildings at 455 w. 22nd
st. Several thousands of people are
employed in these buildings. The
large bulk of workers, however, eat
their lunch inside the shop, only very
few coming out of the building at the
noon hour.
When the news of the straw vote
became known to them, the live wires,
after eating their lunch, came out to
talk to the comrades at the gate. In
telligent and wideawake, these work.
ers eagerly discussed the campaign,
the candidates and the DAILY
WORKER. The idea of going to the
shops and factories to get true reg
istration of labor's opinion on the
present campaign especially appealed
to them, and some of them even took
ballots into the plant to their shop
mates.
Voting Creates Excitement.
The sidewalk in front of the plant
was buzzing with excitement as little
groups circled around the straw vote
squad. In the conversation one out
standing fact was prominent, their
complete severance from the two old
parties. Why the Communists are
putting up a candidate against LaFol.
lette was the question put to the COM
rades.
The discussion and debates rallied
around these two points. Would a
worker be throwing away his vote on
Foster, and what are the immediate
benefits to be derived from the LaFol
lette campaigE2 No one rooted for
Coolidge or Davis.
The whistle blew and they hurried
back to work with promises to read
the DAILY WORKER and learn more
about the Workers Party of America.
With the Cuneo-Henneberry shop
the DAILY WORKER straw vote cam.
paign in Chicago terminates.
There were 5000 votes cast in all
Out Of these 629 were for Foster,
1851 for LaFolIette, 1855 for Cool
dge, and ass for Davis.
This straw vote registers the opin.
ions of the workers of Chicago more
clearly than any straw vote taken in
the city of Chicago, even more so
than the vote that will be taken at the
election polls, because it gives the
trend of political development of the
workers right in the factories,
whether they are eligible to vote or
not

Guilt of Big Boss

DETROIT, May 14.-"Ford's labor
policy is well known to all who are
close to Detroit, declares the Detroit
Labor News, organ Of the Detroit Fed
Grafton of Labor. "As one gets away
from the city Of the straits the ad-
miration for his policy increases in
geometric ratio. He doesn't object to
paying high wages. He sweats his
employees to make up for it. What he
dislikes is independence on the part
of his workers. Ford is the personii-
cation of the industrial autocrat. He
will not tolerate anything but servile
obedience.
His plants, therefore, have the at
mosphere of the well regulated peni-
Tertiary.
Not being able to tolerate indepen'
dence and self-expression in his sweat
shop Ford naturally can not tolerate

states this fall between the
same forces which have battled
in the English and French cleo
|tions.
Great Britain deposed from power
her conservatives and near-liberals
for Labor government, frankly So
cialistic.
France has just been swept by lib
eral sentiment. The American gov
eminent, insofar as it's legislative ma
chine is concerned, is controlled to-
day by the liberals, and in the coun-
try there is powerful surge of senti-
ment toward them.
Competent observers here are in
clined to believe that the United
States will share in what appears to
be a worldwide readjustmeEe, one of
Ia series which have followed the war.
Now comes another adjustment, a
swing to liberalism, in some countries
an extreme swing. 1t is evident in
the United States, politicians find,
and the most they hope to do is to
limit it.
President Coolidge and his group
are seeking to do this by standing
with the utmost firmness as the apos-
ties of conservatism. In the Demo-
cratic party there is evident a desire
to meet the liberal wing, if possible,
by nominating some one with progress
sive leanings. This, however, is a
natural consequence of the Coolidge
conservatism and is simply the log
ical effect for political contrast.
Both these parties are trying to ap-
praise the real strength of the great
third group, whose size and power
nobody yet knows-a group as yet un-
organized, for the most part, because
Of lack of leadership.
Every day brings added evidence to
political headquarters here that If
leadership is furnished-if LaFollette
will take hold-the liberal movement

termine the election, even tho the lib.

TROTSKY SAYS
MACDONALD is
TOO SENSITIVE
British Premier Has I'm
clean Record

MOSCOw.-Leon Trotsky-back at
work, and fully restored to health
dealt with his recent speech about
Mr.. Macdonald.
"You ask" he said, whether the
English press justly views my speech
at Tiflis as an attack against Eng
land, or, to be more exact, against
Macdonald.
Il don't know just how you mean
the word attack, but Macdonald has
frequently attacked the Soviet sys-
tenn and the tactics of the Communist
party, and recently, as one of the
leaders Of the Second International,
he declared that he was fighting
against Moscow. We reserve the
same right of criticism of MacDon-
AIDS policy.
1T is well known that Macdonald
party fiercely attacked us for our pol
icy in Georgia. l have just returned
from there, and am sorry that Mac
Donald cannot visit Georgia and learn
the mood Of the Georgian workmen
and peasants. l doubt whether the
mood of the Indian and Egyptian peas
ants can compare with the Georgians.
What About the Lords7
Macdonald has frequently con-
demned us for violating the methods
Of formal democracy. 1t is true that
we place the predominance of the
working class above formal democ-
racy, but we had the right to hope
that Macdonald and his party would
place democracy above all.
ITO our minds the existence Of a
democracy with a house of lords con-
ficts with the idea of democracy. But
if we regard the workers rule above
democracy, we also consider formal
democracy an advance over the mon
archy and the aristocracy. This I also
pointed out in my speeches at Tilis
and Baku.
as that an unfriendly attitude to-
ward England? Does MacDonald's
criticism of the Soviet system and
Communist policy signify an unfriend-
ly attitude toward our country?
Il cannot see why our continuing
any serious disagreements regarding
the Soviet system and the revolution
airy dictatorship and the English mon
archy and the church must interfere
with our efforts to establish broad eco
nomic ties equally useful to both

The pros and cons of the McNary-

Khan Packing Donkey
Convention In Behalf
OF William McAdoo

WASHINGTON, May 14.-That the
Ku Klux Khan is planning to pack the
democratic convention in New York
in behalf of William Gibbs McAdoo
was the charge made by Senator I'm
derwood in a statement issued here
yesterday. The Khan recently ousted
Clark Howell in Georgia as national
committeeman and elected in his
place, John S. Cohen.
Nathan Bedford T. Forrest, grand
dragon, realm of Georgia, in his in
structions to the Klansmen who unseat
er Howell said, 1T is the earnest desire
OF Mr.. McAdoo that his friends elect
Major John S. Cohen as national com
mitteeman."
The Khan connections OF McAdoo
will not make his fight for the presi
dental nomination easier at the New
York convention, where he will face
the more invisible" empire Of the
Catholic Church and the gats of the
bootleggers.

lines of business practice"
No rules of order were adopted, tho
that is always the first business before
a convention. Farrington's report goes
to the committee.
Preacher Springs Surprise.
Something startlingly new in the
way of a speech of welcome was
heard in an opening address at the
convention. Nearly 600 coal digger
delegates were slouching in their
seats as the Rev. B. G. Carpenter
from the Peoria Universalist church
was introduced.
The expected prayer did not come
forth. Instead the minister launched
into an excellent description of the
worlds misery. He said new ideas
and new ideals are being born in the
world. He called it the birth pains OF
new social order. I'VE cannot GO
back to the pre-war world" he said
"The old order is gone forever and we
must make way for the new. The
ideal of profit in Business is wrong
Carpenter said he was a radical and
wanted TO be put down as one. He
did not make the usual qualifications,
but urged the coal diggers to go to
the root OF things, as a radical does
He urged them to assume RESPONSE
bility in the coming society New
ideals will never come thru govern.
ments, colleges, or newspapers, but
thru the mass of people, according to
this preacher.
For the life Of me / cannot under
stand how workingmen of one coun'
try can be induced to go to war for
the purpose Of killing workingmen OF
other countries" he said. To do
away with wars, substitute service
and brotherhood for profits in indus.
try is Carpenters advice.
