Gar NC ANDREW
DEFIES RULING
OF COMMITTEE
Reactionary in a Last
Ditch Fight

In spite of the decisive action taken
by the committee on rules of the
of the board of education, refusing to
concur in report of Superintendent
William McAndrew, advising amend
ment of the rules of the teachers
the responsibility for calling the coun-
ellis together entirely in the hands of
the superintendent, McAndrew has so
far failed to send out notices calling
the meeting of the high school teach
ers which had been scheduled to take
place this week.
UnyieIding Boss.
Chicago teachers have little hope
that McAndrew will yield in even
minor details in the fight which he is
waging for supreme control over the
schools of the city.
"McAndrew has not called the coun-
ellis in accordance with the instruc-
tons given him, and 1 am fairly sure
that he is not going to call them I'M
Ely F. Downey, president of the high
school teachers councils, told the
DAILY WORKER. HE knows, and
everyone else knows, that he has no
legal basis for refusing to call the
councils now, but that means very
little to William McAndrew."
Teachers Will Fiuht, -
Speaking of McAndrews proposal to
reorganize the councils so that prin.
cipals, and district superintendent
'Yill be in control, Mr.. Downey said:
"Of course the teachers do not pro.
pose to tolerate any such action. We
organized these councils on the pres
ent lines after long and hard fight,
and we are going to keep them or.
ganized in such way that teachers
themselves have something to say on
school matters"
Mr.. Downey also indicated that the
attempt of the superintendent to pre-
vent notices of teachers organizations
being sent to the schools without his
approval, would meet the united op
position of the rank and file of the
teachers of Chicago.
Safe If Not Sane.
That the trust placed in McAndreH
by members Of the board who refused
TO pass a resolution explicitly order
ing him to call the meetings of the
councils, was misplaced, is indicated
by McAndrew's tacit refusal to comply
with their decision. Mrs. Hefferan
one of the members of the board, who
refused to vote for this resolution or
the ground that it would be "discour
teous to the superintendent" wa:
praised for her stand by reporters
from the capitalist papers represented
at the committee meeting at which
McAndrew's pleas were denied. One
of these reporters approached Mrs
Hefferan at the close Of the meeting
and expressed satisfaction with the
safe and sane manner" in which sh.
had refused to be drawn into the ex
treme militant left wing of the board, ,
which had demanded drastic action.

SEE DECISION
IN |. v. v. CASE
INCOURT TODAY
Dispute Before Master
in-Chancery Bernstein

1t is expected that the final
word of the law courts will be
spoken today in the injunction
case involving the Industrial
Workers of the World now be-
fore MASTERING hancery Fred
Bernstein, 100 N LaSaIle ST.
He will hear both sides today,
according to schedule, and rem
der his decision.
William A. Guinea, attorney for the
Fisher-Doyle faction, against whom
the Grifith-Rowan-Bo werman faction
took out court injunction to prevent
them from holding Office in the l.
w. w. organization in the capacity of
general organizer and secretary-treas-
urer, was away on his vacation, and
that was the reason given by each of
the three judges before whom the
case was presented for putting off
rendering of a decision.
Guinea Not Expected.
It is doubtful whether Guinea will
be present even at this hearing, but
Master-in- Chancery Bernstein said he
will go into the case and render a
final decision in the matter today
even if Attorney Guinea fails to ap-
pear for his client. /.
The troubles back of the Injunction
case are being handled in the mean
time by both factions thru organiza-
tional channels. Both sides are pre-
pairing for the real fight, which will
be on the convention floor. The con-
vention will be held about the middle
of October.
AS the matter rests today, the Fish
er-Doyle faction will appeal to the
convention on the strength of their
right to carry on organization work
until a reelection from the entire
membership decides whether they are
to be replaced and who are to take
their places.
The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES fac
ton, the injunctionists, will argue
that they being alternates for Fisher
and Doyle had the right to act in
capacity of chairman and secretary
under, Instructions of the executive
board.
Membership Reaction Anticipated.
How the entire membership will re-
act to the bringing of purely or
ganizational matter into the capitalist
courts instead of fighting it out in
the organization thru the membership
is being looked forward to with in
terest.
Capitalist court injunctions are
famous for their use by bosses in
every strike to restrain workers by
legal process from peacefully con-
Quoting organization work. They
have been used time and again
against every union of workers, be it
1. w. w. or otherwise known by name,
The l. W. W. membership have had
their share in more than full mea-
sure of capitalist justice. Their feel
ings on capitalist court justice are
very decidedly moulded and at this
convention it is expected their opin.
ions will be expressed in no uncer.
tain terms.

A Beginning That's Fine!

NEW YORK state has certainly
~ started something new in the way
of education. She is going in for edu-
eational excursions, at state expense.
The plan hath a dreamy look on its
face, but il sounds mighty good. ANY
community that undertakes TO put into
children education other than that de-
rived solely from books and study at
home nights deserves general approba-
tion.
Many learned men in our country
have heads full of maps and really
know little about American geography.
II is certainly better for a child 10 leave

can history than with complete con-
cept Of the doings of ancient Athens.
to say nothing of the possibility that
the excursions will put the love of being
educated into the souls Of many chill
dren who do not now feel much JOY in
the process of being educated.
But, it may be suggested to the En-
pire state educators that, while the
