Of nine bishops Of the Episcopal
Church charged with heresy This is

charges against Brown are based on
utterances in his book, Communism
and Christianism," which he published

ton reaching well over a hundred
thousand.
The trial, "ModernistFunda
mentalist" case, has attracted the at
tention OF the entire religious world.
Hundreds Of church leaders are ex-

There is no rational doubt about
the fictitious character OF the Divine
Jesus"
Trial procedure will ante-date
modern law, and will be conducted
according to the ancient canons Of
the Episcopal Church handed down
since the Reformation.
"The prosecutor" or church advo-
cate, is Attorney Charles LemueI
Dibble, Kalamazoo. Dibble said today
the trial Of Bishop Brown is an at
tempt to prove him guilty not only Of
heresy, but atheism.
Bishop Brown will defend himself
with an attempt to prove none OF the
members of the House Of Bishops ac-
cepts all Of the Bible literal and are
therefore each IS guilty Of heresy as
himself.
A half dozen prominent Modern
lists" will testify" in Bishop Browns
behalf, Browns counsel said today
Among them are: DR.. Percy Stickney

Carpenters Out But
Not Suspended Says
Jensen, Head of D. c.

Harry Jenson, president Of the Chi
cago District Council Of the Carpen-
ters' Union. denies that any locals
affiliated with that body were either
expelled or suspended by the District
Council. Jensen told the DAILY
WORKER yesterday that the locals
which are IN arrears ON payments into
the special building fund were not
suspended but their delegates to the
District Council would not have either
a voice OF vote there till their locals
paid up and again got in good stand
ing with the District Council.
The locals which were in arrears
would not have the right to submit
nominations for officers which are to
be elected soon, Jensen said. Neither
would they have the right to vote in
the District Council election.
Jensen did not make plain the diff
ference between suspending locals
from the District Council for non-pay-
rnent Of the buiIAing assessments and
depriving them Of their right to take
part IN the deliberations and elections
Of the District Council.
Jensen said that the locals involved
had right 10 appeal their case to the
International officers and the general
executive board OF the carpenters
union in indianapolis. but that he felt
the international o1scers wv0ld sus-
tain him in his stand.

McAdooites Worrying
A out Votes; Not
A b tut Principles

WASHINGTON, May 26.--McAdoo
supporters have revived the discus
sion OF Senator Thomas ]. Walsh OF
Montana, director OF the Teapot Dome
Inquiry, as a dark horse candidate for
the Democratic presidential nomina-
tion.
They argue: That McAdoo will
have half the delegates in the con-
vention, but presumably will not get
the necessary two-fhirds: that he is
very friendly to Walsh, and that
Gov. AL Smith is equally friendly to
the Mortanan. McAdoo is a dry;
Smith is wet and Catholic: Walsh
is dry and Catholic, and has man
aged the Chicago headquarters for the
Democrats in past campaigns. What
more logical than that Walsh, who
might break the LaFollette vote in
some OF the western states. should be
the second choice of McAdoo and
SMITH
When asked to forecast the plat
form which the Democratic bosses
Brennan, Taggart and Tammany's
new leader-will give the candidate,
the McAdoo-Walsh men admit that
there Is where the difficulty lies.
They are not at all sure that the plat
form will be one which the west will
approve.

Now It's Dual; Now It's
Not Dual, He Says
Especial to The DaIy worker)


PEORIA, ILL.,, May 26--In trying to
discredit Alexander Howat, the day
the fighting Kansan spoke before the
Illinois Miners convention, Earring
ton declared he drew out of the fight
for Howat because Howat associated
with the agitators for dual unionism.
harrington, as reported by the steno-
graphic record, stated:
I'VE have a dual movement in the
miners organization now known as
the Miners National Progressive Com
mite II is headed by William q.
Foster, who has openly declared he
is going to destroy the trade union
movement il he can. Alex went down
there Ito the Progressive Miners Con-
ference) against our advice and he
identified himself with that gang.
When he did that wrote him letter
and told him did not propose to align
myself with Foster and lot Of other
i. w. WIS and Communists who were
trying to destroy the United Mine
Workers Of America"
But in writing the letter printed in
full below, harrington declared he
DID NOT think the progressive min
ers dual organization. Harrington
seems to form his opinions as they
suit his political ambitions. Earring
ton in direct contradiction of his re-
cent public statements, in his letter
says that Howat is not identified with
dual unionists. Take your choice.

Springfield, Ill.
"Mr. Hugh Kennedy, Secretary,
Local Union No. 81,
"Centralia, Ill.
DEAR Sir and Brother:
II am returning herewith the circu-
lar letter which accompanied your let
ter Of May g., l do not think the men
who are behind the so-called progress
sive movement have any intentions,
whatever, Of establishing dual or
ganization of mine workers, instead
their activities, ! think, are due en-
tire1y to their determination to clean
up some Of the corruption that is go
ing on in our international union.
Il think they are making a mistake
by terming themselves the progress
sive members of the United Mine
Workers Of America, but / am quite
certain they have no intention of try
ing to establish a dual organization.
Instead Of trying to establish a dual
organization l think they are trying
to mobilize those who are opposed to
the corruption in the u. NJ. w. A. so
that an effective protest may be made.
ALEX Howat has repeatedly de-
clared that he will have nothing to do
with the establishment of dual or
ganization of mine workers and | am
satisfied that he meant just what he
said. do think, however, that Howat
has much reason for complaint and
he will no doubt identify himself with
this element in our union because he
believes that this is the only way he
can secure justice, for himself and the
Kansas mine workers.
Yours truly,
(Signed). FRANK HARRINGTON,
President.
