NEW YORK, May 2S.-With few

Give In to Tories

WASHINGTON, May Is. - @. G.
Ammon, organizing secretary Of the
Union Of Post Office Workers Of Great
Britain, has notified President Gainor
of the National Association of Letter
Carriers, in Washington, that attacks
on the position OF his union by the
tory postmaster general may prevent
his promised trip to the United States
In September Ammon was to have
addressed the three conventions of
American postoflce employees.
It appears that Sir William Mitchell
Thompson, the tory cabinet minister
In question, has given partial recog-
milton to a reactionary secessionist
organization in the British postal SER
vice, after the legitimate national I'M
ion had removed from its constitu-
ton clause permitting strikes.

AMERICA BOTH
IN And OUT OF
NATIONS LEAGUE
Nothing Accomplished
by Arms Farley

GENEVA, May 49, The United
States refusal to cooperate with a
league of nations bureau resulted in
abandonment today OF the proposed
central bureau for arms traffic con-
troll.
The special committee Of the arms
conference created to find some COM
promise suitable to Congressman
Theodore Burton of Ohio, head of the
American delegation, decided to alter
completely the arms traffic control
plan, eliminating the projected CEN
trail bureau. It's members would have
been appointed by the league coun-
Gil.
The subcommittee solution, which
meets the approval Of Burton and dele
gates from league member nations,
provides that each nation signing the
arms control agreement will periodi-
cally publish uniform statistics Of its
arms exports and imports, making
these figures available to all other
nations.
Each nation will pass its own laws,
it was agreed, providing for the licens-
ing or arms manufacturers and in
surfing the accuracy Of the statistics.
Thus the conference accomplished
nothing. aH
Congressman Burton suggested that
the statistics should be available
every three months. He withdrew his
amendment, providing for publicity,
as no longer necessary and thanked
the subcommittee FOR its efforts.
No Results Achieved.
BY this decision. the effect will be
that the league of nations shall con-
troll the gathering of the statistics
published by each nation separately,
and the results are the same as if a
central bureau had been created by
the league. aa
However, the agreement as finally
reached means that the parley has
ended without steps being taken for
the control of arms, for which the
conference was called.

Especial 80 The Daily Workerl
PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-THE Pro
ducers' and Consumers Bank of Phil
adelphia. backed by the central labor
union, was not a cooperative bank in
any respect, the cooperative league
declares in reference to the failure of
this so-called labor bank.
Two self-constituted trustees or
ganized the institution and then
picked ten other trustees to run It
with them, the league says, in spite
of the leagues protests to the Central
Labor Union that cooperative experts
opinions were misquoted on the pro
position.
The rank and file OF stockholders.
the league says, had no opportunity
to elect trustees until two years after
the banks organization.
The Central Labor Union has re-
affirmed its support of the bank and
expects to aid In the reorganization
with greater labor control. This fond
expectation is not shared by the $500
depositors, however.

SOUTHERN court
BARS CHINESE
FROM SCHOOLS
Ruling Puts Orientals on
Slim Crow" List
lspsoIaI 70 rhe re!Ix workerl

JACKSON, Miss, May Chinese
have been placed on the "Jim Grow"
list of the south, according to a ruling
handed down by the Mississippi state
supreme court which bars all Chinese
children from white schools. The
court decision stated that Chinese
children are not a part Of the white
race, but are ''colored," and therefore
must attend the Negro schools.
The opinion Of the court pointed
out that as education in Mississippi
is compulsory. Chinese residents must
either attend the private schools or
the institutions provided by the state
for Negroes.
Several months ago g. P. Rice Of
Bolivar county brought suit against
Martha Lum In the circuit court ask
ing that the court GUST her children
from the white school. The case was
watched with much interest, repres-
entatives of the Chinese government
stationed In Washington requesting
full rights for their countrymen, ex-
pressed the opinion that they would
carry the fight to the u. S. supreme
court.
More Determination Predicted
Placing the Chinese on the Jim
Grow list in the south is something
new. Heretofore they have been per-
mitted to enter theaters, public res
taurants and exclusive hotels without
molestation.
On the intermarriage question the
south has permitted them a free
course, allowing them to wed white
women, but restricting them to use
Negro women only as concubines, 1t
is expected that a law annuling all
marriages between whites and Chi
nese will follow.

WASHINGTON, May 1S-Dismissal
Of nearly 100 persons constituting the

commission is the next move which
the Coolidge majority in the commits

out the personnel on which the work

These economists and assistants
have been employed, under civil SER

field assigned them by the federal

this evidence to the commission.

TEACHERS union
FIGHTS COERCION
OF N. y. BOARD
Effort Seen to Force
More Overtime Work

NEW YORK, May 1S-The posi-
bility Of assignments not only to
after school hours playground work
but also to summer school work on
the same yearly salary now paid
them, turks in the latest imposition
of the New York board Of education
upon city elementary teachers
Acting on the emotional appeal of
Mayor John Hylan that school play
grounds be opened for after-school
recreation to children under IA, the
board Of education announced that 60
such grounds would be kept open and
asked teachers, janitors and the po-
lice to volunteer their supervision.
Edgine Up on Conditions.
The New York Teachers Union inn
mediately sent protest to the board
of education and warned teachers
that they could easily be led into a
trap by the volunteer proposition if
they accepted it. The union pointed
out that if the principle Of extra work
for the same pay were admitted by
teachers in volunteering for play
ground work, members of the board
who are always mindful Of good po-
litical arguments would again suggest
that teachers, since they are paid by
the year, should do summer school
teaching without extra pay and thus
save the city so much money.
The union says that teachers are
already tired after days school
work and it is unfair to ask them to
volunteer for playground work for
which they are not trained.
Using Moral Coercion.
There is a playground director re-
ceiving $1,000 year who has not yet
spoken. He is part of the political
system with the board of education.
The Teachers Union is not opposed
to Fairgrounds but argues that over
worked teachers are not the ones to
supervise Fairgrounds. Specially
trained workers should do this work.
Already in many of the schools
meetings have been held for teachers
to volunteer their services for the
extra work and an indirect form of
compulsion is used to influence them.
In some cases the principal volun-
teers and the teachers think they
must follow.
In others the teachers are asked to
volunteer for work at other than
their own schools which would be
a greater hardship because the
grounds are open before and after
school as well as on Saturdays and
teachers would have to run from the
playground school to their own to
teach and back again.
