DUMB TO
TEACHERS But
NOT TO TRIBUNE
Refuses to Attend Big
Auditorium Meeting

The Chicago Teachers Fed
GRAFTON is still awaiting word
from Mayor Dever, following
their request at mass meeting
Friday night, that he appoint
to the board of education four
members who will enforce the
tax laws now being lodged by
large corporations.
The mayor has so far COM
pletely ignored the teachers, no
answers having been received
to their letters, altho Dever has
given copious interviews to the
Chicago T,silai''e 'eesea -,lsgenssss.
Three thousand teachers by their
enthusiasm and applause, gathered at
a mass meeting in the Auditorium
Theatre, shouted open rebellion
against the board of education, against
the. treachery of mayor Dever, and the
control of the school system by the
large employers of labor.
The teachers showed, in fact, that
they are ahead of their leaders in
their grasp of the situation now con-
fronting the Chicago teachers.
Victor Olander, secretary of the H.
linois Federation of Labor told the
audience that the chamber of com
merce has gone to such lengths to
control the minds of the children,
that 1t is even organizing junior com
merce clubs in the schools and spread
ing a magazine of that name broad
cast thruout the school system.
Why Not?

declarations of labor in the public

ers who were given what
amounts to a death sentence by
the refusal of Judge Webster
Thayer to grant them a new
trial.
The resolution was introduced
by the left wing section OF the
Federation. It calls for a re-
affirmation of the previous
stand of that body, and provides
- 41.o Exoa1st;u<-o oaaru De
authorized to call a mass pro-
test meeting against the action
of Judge Thayer. 1t urges that
letters be sent to all the locals
affiliated with the central body,
requesting funds for the de-
fense of Sacco and Vanzetti.
Edward Nockels, secretary of
the federation, will act as treas
urer.
The resolutions committee brot in
a report which endorsed the resolu
tion, with the exception of that part
calling for a mass protest meeting.
Jack Johnstone spoke for the un-
amended resolution, but the recon-
mendation of the committee was ac-
cepted.
Anton Johannsen suggested that
kilograms telling of the action taken
by the Chicago Federation of Labor
be sent to several other organizations,
especially those concerned with the
Sacco and Vanzetti case.
The resolutions committee brought
in a statement condemning the Chi
cago Tribune for publishing an inter
view with Peter Cuniff, one of the
managers of the Labor News, sheet
which was once the unofficial organ
of Samuel Gompers in Chicago. That
was during the days when Fitzpatrick
and Nockels were in a state of sub
dued hostility towards Gompers. Not
so very long ago, Gompers' man, EN-
met Flood, had letter in the Labor
News, suggesting that business men
might will patronize a paper that
spoke for bonfide organized labor and
left Soviet Russia to shift for itself.
This was a slam at the New Majority,
then edited by Robert Buck, which
supported Soviet Russia, and pink
radicalism in the United States.
But times have changed. There is
no longer room for two red-baiting al
legged labor sheets, and the Federated
News wants the advertising that its
companion in reaction also covets.
Hence the hostilities.
Cuniff is a notorious labor pan
handler and confidence man who is
willing to offer himself to the highest
bidder any time. The neediest prosti-
tutes among the labor takers are turn
