GENEVA, Sept. 4.-"Russia
believes in revolution instead of
evolution, therefore it is un-
derstandabIe why the League of
Nations is not attractive to
Russia" declared J. Ramsay
Macdonald, labor premier of
Great Britain, today in a speech
before the League of Nations
Assembly.
Macdonald urged that Ger
many be admitted to the league
without reservations. T h e
strained relations between Eng
land and France could be seen
running like a thread thru the
British premier's speech.
Despite the friendly relations that
outwardly appear to exist between
Herriot and Macdonald, the clashing
interests of the two rival powers can
not be composed by good fellowship
Hands Lemon to U. S.
The British premier, in a very diplo-
matte and clever speech, made plea
for a reduction in land ornaments and
pointed to the Washington conference,
which resulted in Britain retaining her
naval dominance, as an outstanding
event in the movement for the out
having of war.
That the Washington conference
has not prevented the nations that
participated in it from increasing their
ornaments was not admitted by Mac
Donald, but everybody here knows
that it was a farce.
England is the principal hacker of
the League of Nations, but until the
powerful United States enters it with
both feet, it will be only plaything.

The latter was a slam at France,
which desires a military alliance
against Germany. England having
disposed of Germany as a rival for
the domination Of Europe, and also as
commercial rival, has picked on
France for her next victim. Hence
the jockeying Of Mr.. Macdonald to let
Germany down as easy as possible,

CHARGE SHADY
BANK DEAL TO
CALv|N'S MATE
BY LAURENCE TODD.

Federated Press STAFF correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. A.
Charley Dawes record in the
banking game grows worse and
more astonishing as it is un-
covered. But it does explain
why Dawes was sent to Europe,
and why he was later nomi-
mated by the republican con-
vention.
Dawes is the boy who threw
into a receivers hands the great
Globe bank in Boston, twenty
five years ago, and forced the
sale of it's assets, including GER
tain copper stocks which would
determine control of the Ana
conda properties in Montana, in
the midst of a desperate fight
by Augustus Heinze to prevent
Standard Oil from gaining that
control.
The stocks were sold by the receiver
to Standard Oil. Anaconda Copper be.
came an asset of Standard Oil. And
Dawes afterward organized a small
bank, into which Standard Oil prompt
ly delivered a deposit of $4,000, 900,
which remained there and enabled
Dawes to grow rich.
Go back to the Boston newspapers
Of Dec. %. 1899, for the story of the
sudden closing of the Globe Bank. It's
president, Cole, was obliged to resign.
Afterward he was sent to the peniten.
tiary for misuse OF funds. But when
the bank was first closed it showed a
surplus of $4,000 and assets far
above it's liabilities. Dawes, then
comptroller Of the currency, had been
visited by a committee OF Boston
financiers, who had heard of his inten.
ton, and had offered to put many mil.
lions behind the institution. The Bos.
ton Clearing House did put up $780,.
900, and Edward A. Clarke and VIII.
liam Coolidge, associates of Cole, put
up S1.000.000 to cover any shrinkage
in the value Of the copper stocks
which the bank had been buying
Dawes refused to let the Boston flnan'
ciers save thepbank. He sent Inspec.
tor Daniel Wing TO Boston and had a
receiver appointed.

Especial to The Daily Worker,

WILLIAMSBURG, Mass,

Haskell, chief of the American
Relief Mission to Russia from
1921 to 1923, advocated a con-
ference between Russia and the
United States looking toward
resumption of relations between
the two countries, in a lecture
at the Institute of Politics here.
His lecture was entitled Rus
STA and its Problems and was
a fiat contradiction of the lies
peddled by Boris A. Bakhmetieff
and the socialist stoolpigeon
John Spargo, who delivered
vicious attacks on Soviet Rus
STA a few days ago before the
same body.
Haskell was supported in his posi-
ton by Arthur Ruhl, noted author and
war correspondent, and by Elmer G..
Burland.
Messrs. Bakhmeteff and Spargo
had portrayed present day Russian
policy as suicidal to Russia and also
inimical to our, present civilization.
Spargo was particularly incensed be.

Slammed Renegades.
Colonel Haskell was not easy with the

many times during the Cars regime
and is in position to compare the
conditions that existed then and the
conditions under which the workers
and peasants live at the present time.

he said, "seizes the German

"The Dawes Plan will prove
an apple of discord for Europe

will erect a tariff wall. The
world will then return to the

of the Treasury Mellon is back after
a two months tour Of Europe. Mr..
Mellon was not idle while he was
there. He worked hard putting the

the United States to begin the collec-

Mr.. Mellon did not say what the
United States intended to do with
this colossal sum OF money after it
gets t.. The vaults of the big banks
are now bursting with money, yet
100000 workers are unemployed.

UP FIGHT ON
JUNIOR HIGHS
Mayor DeUer Does Not
Live Up to Pledges
BY ELSA BLOCH

Parents of children who have
been forced to leave the Harper
school because of its trans
formation into a Junior High
school will continue their fight
for an Injunction restraining
the Board of Education from
putting its order into effect,
when they present an amended
bill before Judge Fred Rush of
the Circuit court today.
Yesterdays meeting of the
parents at the school became
almost a riot, in spite of the
fact that they met under the
supervision of a detail of po-
lice. A gang of children invaded
the school grounds and began
to throw bricks, breaking sew
eral windows.
Members of the Board of Educa-
ton, most of whom are business men,
almost unanimously approved the re-
port Of Superintendent William Nc.
Andrew.
Fight Against Federation.
This report is nothing but another
attempt on the part of Superintendent
McAndrew to break up the Teachers
Federation, to reorganize the teach
ers' councils so that they will be con-
trolled from above, to change the
wage scale in such manner as to
drive out rebellious teachers, and to
blind the public to the real cause of
inefficiency in the Chicago public
schools-oficial graft" one of the or
ganizers of the Teachers Federation
told the DAILY WORKER.
ut has been the policy of the teach
ers' councils to permit no principals
or other officials at their sessions, SO
that the teachers might say what they
thought, and not what they are sup
posed to think. McAndrew's plan is
to reorganize these councils in such a
way that some official will be present
at these meetings.
Tries to Ape chadsey.
THE idea which McAndrew is try
ing to put over in changing the scale
of salaries so thatg teachers will be
promoted on the basis of efficiency
and not of seniority was held by Su-
perintendent Chadsey, who had charge
of the Chicago schools two years ago.
Chadsey had long record of firing
experienced teachers who had been in
the service for years, and who there
fore commanded high wages, and of
substituting young and inexperienced
teachers at low wage. Those teach.
ers who stayed were, of course, those
willing to swallow whatever the school
board told them.
THE teachers of Chicago managed
to have Chadsey fred Now Mean

over on us.

"McAndrew was brought here from

the Chamber of Commerce and to ask
for instructions on how to run the
schools. He was told, of course, that

BY T. J. o'FLAHERTY.

LELL AN MARIA DAWES de-
L clares the country is face to face
with an abnormal condition because of
disrespect for law. We have not yet
read in the papers that capitalists are
getting tarred and feathered or
lynched because of their disrespect
for law. Fall, Daugherty? But it is no
abnormal condition" to learn Of
worker being outraged by some self
appointed custodian of the law. Gen.
eral Dawes has no words of condem-
nation for the lawless hoodlums who
raided the l. w. w. hall in San Pedro
causing the death of some of those
who happened to be in the hall at the
time. He knows that none of the cul-
prits have yet been arrested, yet he
does not protest.
NAWES blames demagogues for the
- growing disrespect for law and
order. Disrespect for capitalist law
is growing sure enuf But the surpris-
ing thing is that its growth is so slow.
Radicals have pointed out for decades
how this law operates in favor Of the
ruling class in society. But the
masses are skeptical. Once in while
something happened that shook their
confidence in the capitalist system.
But they have short memories. Con
slant dropping wears away stone"
and thick tho the average skull may
be, repeated proof Of capitalist con.
tempt, for law except when it suits
capital, is beginning to produce a
heavy crop of skepticism.
THE Harding administration, or in
other words, the gang of burglars
that moved into Washington with the
genial rubber stamp from Marion, did
more to convince the American work
ers that the government is simply a
gigantic conspiracy against law and
order, except such laws as serve the
purpose of the master class, than mil

CORONER'S JURY
BLAMES KLANFOR
HERRIN MURDERS
Sheriff G0lligan and
Aids ExOnerated

Especial to the DAILY WoRKER)
HERRIN, H., Sept. 4.-The
situation in Williamson County
again became tense this after
noon when a coroner's jury in
the inquest into the Staying of
six men in Saturdays rioting
returned a verdict virtually
generating Sheriff George Gal
ligan and all members of the
anti-klan faction involved in
the disturbances.
Smith already is at liberty under
bond, having been arrested on one of
nine warrants issued by States Attor-
ney Delos Duty, Sunday, in connec-
ton with the killings.
The verdict was a complete surprise
as it had been tacitly agreed that the
inquest would be more or less of
formality and that the real testimony
would not be presented until the case
went to the grand jury in about two
weeks. With one exception, the only
witnesses heard were listed as pro-
Khan and the decidedly antiKlan YER
dict is a complete upset of predic-
tions.
Khan Threatens.
Anti-Galligan factions this afternoon
were discussing the verdict in little
groups about the streets and muttered
threats were made with little attempt
at concealment. 1t is generally con-
ceded that if any OF Galligan's men
again attempt to arrest Smith, trouble
will start and Williamson county is
girding its loins and waiting.
No further action has been taken
by Capt. Bigelow, in charge of the
militia detail here, but he is sched-
uled to address members of the Khan
tonight in furtherance of his peace
plan" for Williamson county and both
factions late tais afternoon were ap-
pareritly awaiting results of this con-
ference.
The verdict finds that Bud Allison,
Galligan deputy, came to his death
at the hands of Green" Dunning,
Khan sympathizer, that Dunning was
killed by Allison; and that Chester
Reid, brother-in-law of DIR. ]. II.
Black, head Of the Herrin City Hospi-
tai, was killed by John Smith, owner
of the garage where the shooting
started.
1t recommends that Smith be held
for the grand jury on charge of MUIR
der.
In the case Of Otto Roland, Dewey
Newbold and Charles Willard, the lat
ter two alleged members of the Khan,
an open verdict fixing no responsible
ty for their deaths was returned.
