ALL GERMANY
SileSia and Saxony Fol-
lou the Ruhr

BERLIN, May g. German
workers have quickly followed
their recent triumph at the polls,
by tremendous show of
strength, especially in the Ruhr
against the effort to Iengthen
the work day. The number of
strikers in the Ruhr coal fields,
that yesterday reached 300, 900,
is continually growing.
The Upper Silesian miners
have declared a sympathy strike,
while the mine owners of Sax
ony have declared a lockout in
Ian effort to put the eight-hour
day in force.
All efforts of the Socialist" Off
Gals to keep the non-Communist
workers in the Ruhr from going on
strike proved unavailing.
The developing situation that start.
ed with the Communist showing at
the Reichstag elections, followed by
the strike and lockouts in the Ruhr,
Saxony and Silesia, is still further
complicated by the departure of the
Soviet Ambassador Krestinsky, chief
of the Russian trade mission to Ber-
lin, as a result of the recent raid. 1t
is declared that Krestinsky will not
return until Germany has apologized
for the raid

ABERDEEN, Wash, May S.-Once
more the mob spirit has asserted it.
self in this region, to block dissemina-
ton of the facts about the conviction
of the Centralia l. w. W. members
who defended themselves against an
Armistice Day mob in 1919. James
Rowan and f. w. Brown, who are
touring the state in behalf of these
defendants, were prevented from hold
ing a protest meeting at Montesano
on the night of May Z, and were pur-
sued out of town by a hooting crowd,
in automobiles and on foot.
Mob Pursues in Cars.
Montesano is sixteen miles east of
here. Rowan and Brown headed for
Aberdeen in an automobile driven by
the latter. They were followed by
several cars containing men who were
on the side of the lumber trust when
the Centralia defendants were tried
in Montesano in 1920. About a mile
west of town. the pursuers caught up
with the l. W. W. speakers. Brown
ran his automobile into a farmers
yard
The mob seized Rowan as he was
reaching for revolver which he had
in the automobile and took the weap-
on from him. Threats were voiced,
and Rowan's captors warned hirn that
l. w. w. "agitators" were not wanted
in Montesano. Then deputy sheriff
who was a member of the mob
stepped forward and placed Ro-
wan under arrest, charging him with
carrying concealed weapons. The dep
uty took his prisoner back to town,
and locked him up.
Brown telephoned to Centralia, and
Attorney Elmer Smith FASTENED to
Montesano to arrange bail for Rowan.
Smith, who was tried with the Cen
tralia defendants and acquitted, has
given up his law practice and is de-
voting all his energies to campaigning
for the liberation of the eight loggers
now in prison at Walla Walla.
Business men in Montesano have
lately exhibited keen sensitiveness to
the activities of the Centralia Publici-
ty Committee in Grays Harbor county,
of which Montesano is the seat. Row.
an and Brown have been touring I'M
der the auspices of that committee, of
which Attorney Smith is secretary.
Leaflets being broadcasted through
out the county have aroused consid-
cradle ire among employing lumber
men; they contain copies of affidavits
by six jurors who have admitted that
they were terrorized into convicting
the eight imprisoned unionists
Rowan was released from Leaven-
worth penitentiary last Christmas af-
ter serving five years for anti-war opin-
ions. Long an organizer for the |. w.
w. Lumber Workers Union, he was
active in the 1916 free speech fight

TEACHERS CRAB
1ST ROUND FROM
SUPT. M ANDREW
Group Councils Meet
Today After Fight

The elementary grade teachers of
the Chicago Teachers Federation
won their fight with superintendent
William McAndrew, and the group
Councils will meet this afternoon.
Late yesterday Miss Margaret Haley,
business agent of the Teachers Fede-
ration, was busy issuing bulletins
and counter-bulletins to keep up with
the changing plans for today's meet
ings.
No one knew whether it. would be
the local Coucils, Group Councils, or
General Councils which would meet
today, but the teachers were sure
that one of the Councils would meet.
1t was finally determined that the
group Councils would meet.
Mass Meeting Held
Miss Haley did not call off her
mass meeting of teachers in the
'Studebaker Theatre yesterday after
noon. She and other leaders of the
Teachers Federation were intent
upon presenting the latest facts of
the controversy with the school
superintendent to the teachers.
The newly published pamphlet on
the Junior High Schools was dis
tributed yesterday and the one giving
the details of the investigation of the
Platoon system will be out soon. The
teachers want to discuss these issues
themselves before the Board of Edu-
cation acts and the Board refused or
neglected to print the reports so that
it could act unembarassed by teach
err suggestions.
City Council Helps.
Late Wednesday afternoon the city
council decided to stand by the
elementary school teachers and urged
McAndrew to grant them their re-
quest and allow them to hold their
regularly provided for Teachers
Councils this week.
McAndrew took hard-boiled at
titude, just as he did to Mayor
Dever's request, but later weakened
and said that he would permit the
meetings which are specifically pro-
vided for in laws approved by the
Board of Education and the superin-
tendent who preceded McAndrew.
The charges preferred by the
Teachers Federation, demanding
McAndrews' resignation still lie be-
fore the Board of Education.

Strikers Hear Offer
A few of the riyeters attended
this meeting and reported TO ire
strikers at Stancik's Hall. They de-
clared that the Pullman Company
officials did not have any one at the
meeting who was authorized to sign
an agreement with the men. The
minor hirelings of the Pullman Com
pany, who were present, merely sug-
gested that the men return to work
and submit their grievances to the
old company union"
In answer to this proposition the
men declared their intention of fore
ing President f. F. Carry to sign
written agreement directly with the
strikers. They refuse to go back
under the mercy of the Company
union. where most of the represent
atives of the employees are in reality
nothing but stool pigeons getting a
rake-off from the Pullman Company
for keeping the men in line.
I'VE are fighting for the establish
ment of real union of our own"
Holmgren told the strikers, "And
now that we have the Pullman Com
pany licked we are not going to throw
our victory away by dickering with
Company stool pigeons who did not
have the nerve to strike with the
men,"
No Faith In company's Union
Holmgren was instructed to write
president Carry that:
"The employees of the Pullman
Company have lost faith in the en-
ployes' committee affiliated with the
company union. They do not be-
lieve this committee has enough
influence with the men to brina to

at the employees committee. which
has made fruitless efforts TO divide

The objection was raised by the

When she began to explain the prin-

discussion, but the delegates failure
to obey the decisions of the General

Heller's point of order was upheld
by international Vice-president Meyer
Perlstein, in the chair, in spite of pro-
tests from all sections of the conven-
tion hall.
An appeal was taken from Chair
man Perlstein's decision on the
ground that in the case of Local No.

the unseating Of it's four delegates,
International Vice-president Israel
Feinberg, had attacked the T. U. e.

Chairman Perlstein was sustained
and Delegate Wortis was forced to
take her seat. This would Indicate
that e Sigman administration ma

discussion of the principle and pro-

League, especially in the discussion
of the Wortis case. Points of order
were repeatedly raised when delegates
defending the seating of Rose Wortis
discussed "The League"
The demand of Delegate Wortis that
the delegates objected to have the
right to defense of their position
was not recognized. A motion calling
for theNprevious question was enter
