to appear. It is freely stated that
Cappellini would risk his life by ap-
pearing before any body Of miners in
this district at the present time. so
bitter is the feeling against him. The
renegade radical who was showered
with honors and money by the honest
workers of District 1, only a short
time ago, is now the most hated man
in Pennsylvania.
Is Lewis Against Brennan.
William J. Brennan, former district
president, who was defeated by Cap
pellini for that Office in the last cleo
ton is candidate for his old Job.
1t is reported that Brennan was fred
by Lewis for refusing to accept po-
sition In Pittsburgh and for persist
ing in running against Cappsllini. It
is fact that Brennan was notified
by Lewis that his connections in an
official capacity with the international
organization were terminated. When
Brennan first announced his candi-
dacy, Lewis let 1t be known that this
action did not meet with his approx
al, so he arranged a sinecure for him
in District 8. Brennan refused 70
leave, saying that this was a plot 10
disqualify him as candidate for presi-
dent Of District /. He is said to have
informed Lewis that the only way he
could be removed from District 1
would be for the international chief
to fire him. This has been done, at
least ostensibly.
But the miners are skepticaI. Some
believe this Is q ruse of Brennan's
party to line up the anti-Lewis vote,
hoping to grab the anti CappelIini
vote anyway Militants here believe
that Lewis is secretly behind Bren-
nan who is much closer to the arch
faker than Cappellini. Should Bren-
nan be elected there is no doubt
but another telegram will be received
congratulating him on his victory.
Progresslves Preparing.
The progressives are preparing to
put their own candidates forward as
they have no more confidence in Bren-
nan than they have in Cappellini.
They know that the only candidates
who can be trusted are those who
take the position Of Trade Union Edu-
cational League and the Workers
(Communist) Party without reserva-
ton. The tremendous vote counted
munist candidates. They want hon.
est, constructive and fighting leader.

Educators Meet Here
To Discuss How Best
To Serve the Bosses

The vocational educational associa-
ton Of the middle west, an organiza-
ton comprising officials in the public
schools OF eight states, is holding it's
convention In the Sherman Hotel.
All the members Of the Chicago
board Of education were present sit
ting at the speakers table and Super
intendent William McAndrew made a
speech. McAndrew was in his element.
This is not Surprising, knowing how
keen he is on vocational training in
the public schools. But on this occa-
sion he chose to lay low on that sub
iect. Rather he beamed forth with
quotations from Presidents Washing
ton, Adams, Madison, Monroe and Lin
coin to make his point that citizenship
must be the underlying principle in
education. But McAndrew did not
make clear just what this organization
was driving at as others did.
For instance, Eeverett S. Lyon, of
st. Louis, branded the commercial
courses in high schools as utter fail
ures because they did not give pupils
the mental equipment to carry them
to business success. J. C. Wright, OF
Washington, said the junior high
school was the only remedy for exist.
ing ills in the educational system. The
Ills referred to were very obvious.
They were the method of wasting cul-
tural education or working class chill.
dren. A more efficient method for
serving business was the vocational
training OF the junior highs which
starts training them as soon as they
are thru with the three RS"

averaged rs of a pint a day per per-
son. Wealthy families in the best re-
sidential sections purchased 81 Of a
pint day for each member.
That members of weil-to-do families
can consume 60 per cent more milk
than poor families is important to the
health Of the community for a major
ity of the children grow up in families
with low incomes. But it is also inn
portant to the dairy farmer. A gen.
eral advance in the spending power
of the working class would mean a
material increase In the demand for
mis- products. If low income families
could afford as much milk as the
wealthy, the milk consumed by the
average family Of five in year would
increase by about 6S gallons. Multi
ply this figure by several million and
you will see what better wages would
mean to the dairy farmer.

A frightfuI condition greets the eye
in the Cook county hospital, the only

are worn and broken In industry and
who receive such low wages they have
no money for hospital bills. Beds are
in every hallway and corner Of the hos

Hear of Dawes Plan In
Action at Forum

Hell an Maria" Dawes may be the
next president of the United States,
after Silent Cal goes back to Vermont
and resumes going to bed at nine
o'clock with an oil lamp to guide his
footsteps. Then again he may not.
The cussing armchair general may
never go down in history as a presi-
dent of the United States, but his
name will be written in the book, be-
cause Of his connection with the in
famous plan that forces the German
workers to pay the allied reparations
at the expense OF long hours and a
lower standard of living than they had
previously.
Divided on Dawes Plan.
This is where Max Bedacht horns
in on the question. All of Ms heard
the Dawes plan talked about more or
less. Some are for it; others are
against 1t. The German socialist lead
ers are for it. The Communists are
against it. Some Of the German bour-
geoisie are against it; others are for
it. Britain accepted It as the lesser OF
two evils; so did France. But both
countries do. not feel too happy with it.
What is this Dawes plan? How does
it affect the working class of Europe
How does it affect the working class
Of America? Whose plan is It? These
and other questions will be answered
tomorrow by Max Bedacht, member OF
the central executive committee of the
Workers Party, who will speak at the
open forum, in the Lodge Room Of the
Ashland Auditorium tomorrow evening
at s o'clock.

The title of Comrade Bedacht's sub

|. ". W. ELECTION
PUZZLE FINALLY
SHOWS RESULTS
But Discussion Is Just
Beginning


After two weeks OF continuous la
Dor the ballot committee to count
the results of the general referen-
dunn ballot put out by the I. W. w.
after its Sixteenth General Conven-
ton which ended. last November, has
ended it's task Of counting total Of
1850 ballots. These are all who vot-
ed out Of about 10000 members.
The result was delayed and is still
the subject of much discussion which
is shunted into the internal and little
read General ONCE Bulletin, conflict
developing within the committee and
spreading to the general executive
board, over the question of counting
16 votes from Ashtabula, Ohio, which
would have altered the election Of
the new general secretary-treasurer.
S7s to 5s7 With 10 Doubtful.
So much in doubt is the election Of
Arthur Coleman who, with ]. |. Turn
CIR, stood for the Office, that the off,
oial organ Of the l. w. w. graphically
gtates that $40 votes "were counted"
.or Turner and 5S7 for Coleman.
1t appears that the 16 ballots Of
Ashtabula would have given the Office
20 Turner. and the stubs Of these
ballots, showing in duplicate detail
how each member had voted were
sent to the Chicago Office. but the
ballots themselves were burned by
the branch secretary.
To Count "HaIlots" Not Votes.
Much bitterness developed over the
counting of these votes. The mat
ter was at least temporarily settled
by Turner renouncing his claim to be
elected by such narrow margin, and
the ballot committee deciding that
since 1t was ballot" committee and
not a "stub" committee 1t would not
count the Ashtabula votes. Neither
candidate ran upon any issue Of pol
icy or of principle and this accounts
for the narrow margin, 1t being large
ly a question Of personal influence.
The vote to expen the injunction
ties" carried quite overwhelmingly,
this being clear matter Of policy.
Fred Bowerman was expelled by a
vote OF LILO to 212. James Rowan
was expelled by 1908 votes to 219.
The other expelled members are P. D,
Ryan. Charles Anderson and Harry
Trotter.
There were rs questions left to
referendum, the large majority being
inconsequential changes in the con-
stitution. Among the more important
were one repeating the clause which
limits membership In the l. w. w. to
actual wage workers and similar
abolition Of job branches. Both were
defeated.
Queer Contradiction on "Politics."
Two questions of considerable i'm
portance which are being subjected
to sharp criticism are those relating
to the political activities of members.
One amendment carried, prohibits any
member from becoming an officer of
political party. But tho they may
not be an officer of political party,
the carrying of Question No. rs per-
mits any member to become an elect
ed official Of the capitalist govern
ment, even II nominated and support
cd by capitalist political party, such
IS the republican.
1t is recalled that in such case
there would be violation Of the prin-
ciple enunciated at the first or 1905
convention which forbids members
from accepting salaried jobs to up
hold capitalism.

Meanwhile French airmen continue active everywhere over the battlefront, bomkIng the Moorish tribesmen when they gather for raids on French posts. At French headquarters it is asserted that In consequence of the ceaseless clear

campaign hat. A recent order from Major General Leieune, com mandant of the Marine corps, adopts the campaign hat for general use and limits the wearing of the visored caps to special occasions.
 Nearly every type of military hat has been worn by the Marines since the corps was organized 15O years ago. In Washlngton's time they wore the three-cornered felt hat of the period. During the Civil war the forage cap. or kepi, was worn. Tn later years experiments were tried with various types of helmets, none of which proved satisfactory.
 No change Is contemplated in the visored cap worn by the Marines with dress uniforms. The campaign hat, modified sombrero with a narrower. flatter brim. is worn somewhat more formally than in Spanish American war days.

Extensive eX- periments in Cuba, Hawaii, the Philippines and elsewhere have proved that this type of hat affords the most protection from the suns rays.
 For a period of several months khaki-covered caps with visors were worn by the Marines with their summer uniforms. They proved to be much less satisfactory than the
