WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
Burton X. Wheeler, democrat, of
Montana, and prosecutor of the
Daugherty investigation, accepted the
nomination today for vice-president
to run on the LaFollette independent
ticket
At the same time it is understood
that he will maintain his regularity
in Montana by actively supporting
Senator Walsh, who remains in the
Davis-Bryan camp. This develop
ment was made public in a. letter to
William H. Johnston by Senator

to various news agencies.
Pledges Support to Walsh.

tional Committee Of the Conference

meeting of that body Friday. Wheel
er gave no answer until he had con
ferred with LaFollette, obtained the
latter's confirmation of the proposal,
and had preserved his connections
with the regulars" by pledging his
support to Walsh.
Wheeler said he accepted the "hon-
or of being running mate to LaFol-
lette because he could neither sup

democracy of Thomas Jefferson"

CHICAGO LABOR
HITS PLATOON.
JUNIOR HIGHS
Raps Intelligence Tests
as Caste Breeders

The platoon system, junior high
methods and the proposed school In
telligence tests which the Board of
Education plans for fixing a child's
education and its future vocation were
unsparingly condemned by the Chi
cago Federation of Labor at its meet
ing yesterday afternoon.
The resolution was presented by
Victor Olander in behalf of the state
federation of labor and the executive
board of the Chicago federation.
Some of its strongest censure was
reserved for the pseudo intelligence
tests that, the resolution declared,
would develop Hindoo caste system
in America. Children who got low
rating under these tests would be
forced to take certain vocational train
ing which would automatically put
them into walks of life socially differ
ent from others. The resolution
pointed out that the intelligence tests
were misleading and warned against
a policy of arbitrarily thrusting GER
tain children into semi-skilled, low
paid trades.
Attack was made on the platoon
system, the resolution showing that
no matter what guise it might be
camoufaged under, whether called
"Work-Study-Play system or any
thing else, it went back to its father
ing by the steel master Gary. One of
its purposes was to reduce building
costs, even tho at the expense of the
children. The resolution emphasized
the fact that it has been condemned
by the teachers councils of Chicago,
Milwaukee and other cities.

CICERO POLICE
RAID Fooled BY
WORKERS PARTY
Bigger Crowd Result of
Attack on Meeting

The woman-beating Cicero police
went on the rampage again in West
ern Electric town Friday night, and
tried unsuccessfully to break up an
open air anti-Fascist meeting on the
corner OF 51st Ave. and 14th st., Cicero.
The Workers Party members conduct
ing the meeting went into the Work
ers hall, next TO the corner, and fin
ished the meeting before an enthusi-
astic audience twice as big as the orig
inal open air crowd.
The police, reinforced by two patrol
wagons and three plain clothes men,
tried to break up the indoor meeting,
but the chairman, Frank Buckley, in
dustrial organizer of the Young Work
ers League, insisted on continuing,
and the police finally went away.
Takes Crowd Into Hall.
Buckley was speaking on the street
corner when two Cicero plain clothes
thugs, probably angry at reference
to the slave grinding Western Elec-
trio company, told Buckley he must
stop. Buckley tried to continue, but
the Cicero champions of the Western
Electric, disguised as Cicero police
men, broke up the meeting. Buckley
called to the crowd of two hundred to
follow him into the Workers hall, and
they went in, augmented by two hun
dred others who gathered to see what
was taking place.
L. Candida, secretary Of the Italian
Federation of the Workers Party, and
A. Badillo, business manager Of II La
voratore, had spoken to the crowded
hall, and Buckley was talking when
a large squad of police and plain
clothes rufians, some of them under
the influence of Cicero moonshine,
swooped down on the hall, and de-
manded that the speaking cease.
Buckley refused, and a few minutes
later he was again interrupted by the
police. shall 1 stop at the demand
Of the police, or shall I exercise my
constitutional right and continue
speaking?" Buckley called to the
crowd. go on, go on" the crowd
yelled, and Buckley continued with
his speech.
Coming Again This Week.
After a conference the Cicero wom-
en- handlers interrupted for a third
time, and told Buckley he could fin
ish this time, but not to dare try to
speak in Cicero again" Buckley re-
piled that he would speak again some
time next week.
A protest mass meeting will be held
on the same street corner at 1880 next
Thursday night. The Italian Work
ers Barty members declare they will
continue to exercise the right OF free
speech in Cicero in spite of persecu-
ton by the Western Electric police.

ceived notice of a rent raise of $1,000
per month.
Discomfort Growing.
The workers in this steel district
are becoming more disconnected every
day. They are beginning to feel the
power of this combination and realize
that the only remedy is for them to
get organized. The present strike at
Hegewisch is more effective than any
of the strikes in the past. Production
in the Western Steel Car Foundry Co.
is at standstill. The company has
been compelled to lay off several hun
bred of the workers who are not par
ticipating in the strike. This morning
the workers in the door department
were all sent home until next week
because there was no work.
The strikers have elected COM
mittee to carry on the strike and try
to get the other workers in the plant
out These strikers are real scrap
pers and are determined to fight to the
finish.

Buckley's wage slashing and speed-up

mously adopted resolution with
drawing its own candidates from the
field in the November elections, and
pledging the organization to unquali-
fed support Of the national and local
candidates of the Workers Party. The
conference also adopted the platform
Of the Workers Party in local cleo
lions, which includes: Demands for
workers control of all public utilities,
abolition of child labor with govern
ment support of children under 16,
governmental seizure of closed fac
tories, abolition of the power to issue
injunctions, guarantee of the rights
to strike and picket, and, as final OBJ
jective, establishment of a workers
and farmers government in the Unit
ed States.
This action follows logically on the
withdrawal of candidates by the Ma
tional Farmer-Labor Party and by the
Labor Party of Illinois, in favor of
candidates selected by the Workers
Party.
Many Unions Represented.

denouncing LaFollette as a middle
class office seeker and traitor to the
working class.
Labor has come to the point where
clear severance with middle class ele-
ments must be made" said Manuel
Gomez. eve must not fall into the
trap which LaFollette has set for us
by imagining him to be benevolent to
labor interests. LaFollette's only mis-
sion is to betray the working class and
to bring the workers under the domi-
nance of the petty bourgeoisie."
Disgust at Labor Takers.
Disgust with the reactionary ten
denotes of the present officials of
American labor was voiced by Morton
Johnson of the Electrical Workers
union. "There is wide gulf between
the ranks of labor and the so-called
labor leaders," said Johnson. moon
