new MANIFESTO
SPREAD AGAINST
|. W. v. MEETING
ROwGn-BowermGn Fac
ton in Another Attack
BY KARL REEVE.

FtfNNiiOt tttattllSoLO IIdS UCCNi
broadcasted by the Rowan
BoWerman General Executive
Board of the Industrial Workers
of the World, refusing to recog-
nize the convention now con-
vened at Emmett Memorial Hall.
The attack on the convention,
signed by Harry Trotter and P.
ID. Ryan, charges that over one
third of the delegates are in
league with the Doyle-Fisher
faction, and that the convention
has been accepting messages
from the DAILY WORKER,
which is a Communist sheet"
Call Convention illegal.
"The meeting now in session in
Emmett Memorial Hall is illegal and
unconstitutional, and has not been
recognized by the general executive
board" states the manifesto, which
was signed and sent by Rowan to
every /. w. w. branch in the country
in leafiet form. "One-third of the
delegates have taken part in the CON
troversy on the side Of the Doyle
Fisher faction"
Charges are then made against 5.
Hendrickson, Samuel Obermann,
August Walquist, Fred Mann, Charles
Gray, Fred Fisher, Ruth and Elmer
Rumbaugh, Albert Hanson, w. H.
Thompson, Louis Chuba, L. Mccarthy,
recording secretary of the conven-
ton, and others.
All Charges Denied.
Gray is charged with attempted
bribery, Fisher with being "a profess
sional hanger-on around headquar-
ters," Fred Mann with touring the
harvest fields electioneering for Doyle
and Fisher, and w. H. Thompson with
being an expelled member. All the
delegates have denied the charges.
I. w. w. Print Shop Errs.
Chairman p. J. Welinder explained
that the DAILY WORKER had been
sent message by the convention, but
due to a misprint in the l. w. w.
print shop, the printed minutes had
twisted the story.
The temporary administration was
instructed to draw up a denial to
these charges to be distributed to the
membership, with a statement that
further slanderous statements Of the
Rowan group will be ignored.
A discussion on the reorganization
Of the general defense occupied most
Of Fridays sessions. The debate be-
came so prolonged that the conven-
ton became temporarily demoralized.
One Of the delegates, after listening to
hours Of fruitless squabbling, said he
could stand such rot no longer, and
left the hall for almost two hours.
The convention finally abolished
the general defense committee, ruling
that general defense work should be
handled by the general secretary
treasurer. One delegate, evidently
made nervous by the long debate, got
into jam with Chairman P. ]. We'll
inder and took off his coat, demanding
the floor. When denied the floor, he
appealed from the chairs position,
but the chair was sustained.
During the discussion OF general
defense policies, Fred Fisher obfected
to some |. w. w. members philosoph-
izing about Tolstoi and Mahatma
Ghandi and declared against the
principles of non-resistance. He also
argued against the narrow policy Of
having each Industrial union support.

ing this form of organization to be

1 is our duty to give them all the
publicity they desire, as they usually
tell the truth when mad with each
other. ANDY charges O'Connor with
using $4,000 of government funds to
break up labor unions on the Pacific
coast in 1922. He makes other charg
es, but one is enough for us. Is it not
strange that Furuseth did not go to
bat with O'Connor on this issue until
the latter turned his guns on LaFol
lette. 1t seems that faker Furuseth
could look on the dismantling of the
labor unions with equanimity, he
could see strikes broken by the United
States government without unloosing
tho vials of his wrath, but when the
political fortunes of the capitalistic
politician LaFollette were imperiled,
then Andy got his dander up.
N'CONNOR is one of the most no
~ torious and unabashed labor fax
ers in America. But what about Furu-
seth? Andy blames O'Connor for
breaking up his union with money.
The fact is that it was Furuseth's red
batting policy that destroyed the sea
mems union. Furuseth's conduct on
the Pacific coast was just as filthy as
that Of O'Conpor The latter was an
open agent of the government and
uSenly used his power to smash the
movement that put him on the road
TO fortune, but Furuseth was a dirty
stool pigeon, turning over members of
the I. w. w. to the government and
a'ding the department of justice in put

ion in jail Between Furuseth and
o'Connor there is only a choice be-
tween two evils.

NARROW TRADING LIMIT
FOR COTTON PAST WEEK
Fluctuations Frequent, But Not
Wide-New Crop Positions Now
Command Attention.
By the Associated Press.


NEW ORLEANS, May 19.-The cot
ton market has been comparatively
narrow affair during the past week, al
though fiuctua tions have been frequent
enough but at no time very wide, ex-
cept occasionally in the May position
now nearing the end of it's period of
final liquidation. With the certificated
both here and in New York. the lot
of the May shorts has not been a happy
one. There have been some private set
Elements, according to reports, but there
is still a sizable interest not yet liqui-
dated. and it is believed will be finally
settled by actual tenders or by buying
of May in the open market as occasion
offers.
The July position, while influenced
to a greater or less extent by the
same influences that have bolstered
up May, namely, the small certifi-
Gated stocks and the dwindling of
supplies in the south, has been more
or less responsive to weather re-
ports and advices as to the prog
ress of the new crop, although it is
not believed that enough new cot
ton will be marketed to be of any
service to the July shorts.
The new crop positions have come
in for more and more attention as
the week progressed. and from now
on they will attract the bulk of the
trading. Some of the gains made at
the middle of the week were Sacri-
feed because of the prospects for
better weather over the week end
The wind-up as a result of these con-
ficting influences left the market
but little lower than it was at the
close of last week.
The weather promises to be the
dominating factor in the market dur
ing the coming week.

NEW YORK, May 19.-While prices

slackened today pending the vote of
the Senate on the Presidents veto of

ject of concern as it was the effect
of the bonus on tax reduction. 1t

Failing of this, the outlook was more
uncertain, but the ease in money was
relied upon to hold up bond prices in
any eventuality. Time funds were

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, May 19.-Unfavorab1e
weather for planting and gernina-
ton Of corn gave something of a
lift to the corn market early today,
and indirectly strengthened wheat
prices. Buying of corn was further
stimulated owing to small receipts.
Trade in corn was considerably larger
than in wheat. Corn opening prices,
which ranged from the same as
Saturdays finish to 1A higher, with
July, 75B to rs, were followed by
moderate general gains.
Absence of any pronounced selling
pressure allowed wheat values to
harden. The market. however. was
kept within narrow limits on account
of uncertain outlook as to farm legis-
Iation. After opening unchanged to
Y higher, July 1.06k to 1.065s and
September 1.07A to 1.07A, the
market sagged a little and then
steadied at a slight general advance.
Oats were firm, in line with other
cereals. starting unchanged to II

some gain.
Higher quotation on hogs led to a
trif1e advance in the provision market.
Subsequently scantiness of receipts
here led to a sharp advance in the
price of May corn delivery. The close
was firm, Is to Is net higher; July,

The market eased a little because
of a favorable wheat crop comment
from the southwest. The close was

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, May 19.-The cotton
market was very quiet in today's
early trading. with prices lower un-
der further commission house liquida-
tion and local and southern selling,
which was attributed chiefly to the
better weather reports from the south.
The opening was steady at a de-
cline of to Il points. Active months
sold about 15 to 16 points net lower
in the early trading, May declining
to So.63 and October to 24.Sl.
Liverpool cables were relatively
easy, private advices reporting
quiet market and poor spot demand
there.
The early decline was checked by
a renewal of covering by old crop
shorts and continued bullish spot ad-
vices from the southwest. Prices
later rallied to 30.S7 for May and
25.09 for October making net ad-
vances of to 19 points, but general
business remained quiet and the mar

MARKET is IRREGULAR.
Dealers Confront Du1lest Full-Day
Session of Year.
By the Associated Press

By he Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 19.-weakness of
the motor accessory issues featured
today's irregular stock market, the
dullest full days session this year.
Absence of speculative interest was
generally attributed to the uncer-
tainty regarding the Senate's action
on the presidential veto of the bonus
bill Sales approximated 100000
shares
Renewal of selling pressure against
the steel shares impaired a reaction
airy ton to opening prices. United
most of the independents yielded frac-
tfonally.
Selling pressure became more acute
as trading progressed, additional
1924 lows being established by Ana
conda Copper at 29as, Studebaker at
s14 and Timken Roller Bearing at
3112. Yellow Cab and Virginia.
Carolina Chemical each extended its
losses to 2 points, while Republic
Steel, Dawson Chemical and United
States Cast Iron Pipe were added to
the list of stocks to lose a point or
more.
The morning market presented a
Spotty appearance. Some of the
pivotal shares such as United States
Steel and Baldwin improved on short
covering, but the general industrial
list continued reactionary. with selling
pressure concentrated on the motor
accessory, textile, leather and cop
per shares, several of which sold at
their lowest prices of the year.
Several individual points Of strength
developed in the rail group. notably
Omaha. which advanced points
and Chicago and Northwestern, up L.
Brokers loans continued to decline,
the present total being estimated at
$2o,000,000 below that of a month
ago.
Bear operators contested the tend
ency to improvement in the after
noon, when du Pont and New Orleans,
Texas and Mexico became conspicu-
ously strong, the latter rising 2
points to 120, new high record.
Their offerings, however, were well
absorbed, save in the case of the yell
low Cab issues and a Sprinkling of
minor shares in which special con-
siderations figured. Schultz fell 8
points and Brown Shoe 80.
The closing was irregular. Cancel
1ation of the two-point rise in New
Orleans, Texas and Mexico was the
only feature of the unusually quiet
late trading.
