Three Days Left Before
Fake Teachers Salay
Raise Gets Action

For two hours the board of educa-
ton met behind closed doors in an
effort to get the McAndrew new sal
airy schedule o. KID by majority of
the members before it went before
the regular open board meeting. But
it failed in its efforts. Trustees Hart
Hanson, Mrs. David Gregg, ]. Lewis
Coath and James Mullenbach voted
against it.
When it came before the regular
meeting for consideration, Mrs. w. S.
Hefferan once more rose to the super
intendents call and moved for a de-
ferment until the special meeting Mon
day morning. The motion was passed.
On Monday Trustee julius F. Smie-
tanka, chairman of the finance COM
mittee, will have returned from out of
town and his vote is expected to make
the necessary majority.
The new school budget for 1925
of $66,000,OO0 passed by the board
contains appropriations for education
al purposes amounting to SAL 100000;
for building purposes. $22.7O1 900; for
text books, 1851, 900; f0or Fairgrounds,
S636,OOO, and for teachers pension
fund, 100000.
This hectic rush to get action on
the recommendation is an effort to
ward off its being held over for the
new board which will be named by
Mayor Dever on Monday afternoon.

FOR LIBEL SUIT
BY WEALTHY JEW
Flivver King, Notorious

Especial to The Daily worEer.)

DETROIT, April pa suppressed
suit for 100000 charging libel, has
been filed in federal court against the
Dearborn Independent and Henry
Ford, by attorneys representing Aaron
Shapiro, of Chicago, it became known
today.
William Henry Gallagher, attorney
for the Chicago man, stated that the
suit is the result of libelous articles
printed in the Dearborn Independent,
Ford's newspaper. The articles stat
ed, Gallagher says, that Shapiro was
the head of a Jewish combine bent
on getting control of American agri-
culture.
Announcement was made sometime
ago from Chicago that such a suit
would be filed. Court records show
that it went on file here yesterday.
A summons has been issued, but no
service has been made on Ford.

Negro Freight Handlers Strike.
One of the first revolts against Fair
fax Harrison's new policy of squeez-
ing further profits out Of the employees
has broken out in the city of Birming-
ham. Colored men employed as freight
handlers have struck. Their COM
plant is that the company has placed
sideboards on the freight trucks which
they drag about the terminal, so that
they are called upon to pull loads
twice as heavy as before. Protests
did no good. They decided that they
had reached a status higher than
mules. They quit.
No appeal has been made to the
railroad labor board. They will fight
it out Whether the strike will spread
to other cities will depend upon
whether Harrison directs that similar
overlooking be attempted elsewhere.
Negro labor on railroads in the South
is not so docile as before the world

Workers Party Statement an Irrltant.
The Workers School delegation,
which had been denied the rights of
voice or vote at the convention, pre-
pared a lengthy statement of their
non-admittance and on the Workers
Party point of view on education.
These were mimeographed and dis
tributed to all delegates and visitors
at the convention. They caused quite
a furry in the ranks of the reaction
aries and also aroused bitterness
among the wishy-washy socialists and
liberals by its severe criticism of
their complete bankruptcy and sur
render before the A. F. of L. machine.
The term working class" was
taboo at the convention, even the
socialists falling in line with the more
respectable people" Capitalism was
never mentioned by name. No word
of the class struggle or of preparation
for conducting it fell from the lips of
any of these delegates and leaders"

HINDENBURG And
MARX KISS u. 5.
BANKERS BOOTS
Communists Have Only
Program for Workers

BERLIN, Germany, April 2s.-The
monarchist candidate, Field Marshal
Won Hlndenbure, and the candidate of
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES bloc,
have made the dominant issue of the
campaign for election as president Of
Germany next Sunday, whether Amer
lean finaneiers will boycott Germany
if Hindenburg is elected president
Forgetting the vital issues which
have enslave the masses of the Ger
man workers, unemployment, low
wages, long hours, and high prices,
the two candidates of the bourgeois
blocs are frankly attempting to win
support Of the international bankers,
led by Wall Street.
Curry Favor With Foreign Banks
Both Hindenburg and Marx uphold
the Dawes plan which has put the
German workers at the mercy Of the
American bankers. Both candidates,
openly admit that the German in
dustrialist cannot keep down the re-
volt of the workers and the establish
ment of a workers and peasants gov
eminent without aid from foreign i'm
perialists. Without protest these can
didates have seen Germany sink to
the level of a colonial possession, and
now declare themselves satisfied.
The newspapers are printing long
dispatches from New York and Wash
ington which declare that no loans
will be advanced to Germany if Hin
denburg wins. The American bankers
are against the establishment of a
monarchist dictatorship, of the Ger
man bourgeoisie, some say, preferring
the weak socialist coalition which
they can more easily manipulate. On
the other hand, Hindenburg has stated
that foreign influence in Germany will
not be diminished if he is elected.
Pope Does Not Object To Socialists
The nationalist press, supporting
Hindenburg, charges that the pope OBJ
jects to the coalition Of the catholic
party with the socialists. Cardinal
Gasparri, however, in a widely pub
lished interview, states that the pope
has no objection whatever to the
socialists and catholics.
The socialist newspapers predict
that Marx will be elected with a.
10000 votes as against 12,450,OOO cast
for Hindenburg.
Communist To Get Big Vote
Thaelmann is the only worker run.
ming for president. The Communists
are the only party in the campaign
which have presented a program sole
ly in the interests of the millions of
the German workers and peasants.
Berlin and other large cities are
placarded with thousands of large red
posters, bearing the slogan, Workers
of Germany-Vote Red, Vote for thu
Worker Thaelmann. Communist Par
ty of Germany, section of the Com
munist International"
Many workers predict that the Com
munists will poll over two million
votes.

Of making themselves look ridiculous
by bringing in a constitutional provi-
sion that mo class or institution
which carries on propaganda shall be
eligible for membership" This brought
forth a considerable amount of dis
cussion and made of the Sunday morn
ing session the only one during the
entire conference which wasn't as
dead as prayer meeting.
Some of the delegates pointed out
that the term propaganda" may be
used to cover almost anything, that in
fact, the trdae union movement and
it's members must be propagandists
for that idea and hence a grave dam
ger would ensue from the adoption of
such a provision which today, was
used for barring the Communists and
lefts might at some future date be
used to bar anyone or any group that
did not completely fall in line with
the conceptions of the ruling body.
Lefkowitz-WqlI Combination.
Lefkowitz, of the teachers union,
put the case clearly. He said that he
opposed the proposed constitutional
amendment, but on the other hand
thought they should come out clearly
and definitely in their statement to
bar Communists. On this, he, a So
cialist, was in complete agreement
and would do all he could to aid them
in putting over such a proposal and
in seeing to it that it was put into
effect.

The object of this appeal by the
yellow socialist was to induce the gov
ernments of England, France and TIA

kov government for permission to in
crease the standing army. The Bri-
fish minister in Sofia succeeded in
having the Jugo-SlaV government drop

The European capitalist powers are
making united front with the Fan

and dominated by the British who are
the original supporters of Zankov.
One report puts the killed in the
fighting at $4,000, but this is probably
an exagerration. While it is almost
impossible to believe any news that
comes officially out of Bulgaria, there
is reason to believe that the peasants
have risen in several sections and are
holding their own against the Zankov
