LEADERS OF
SEAMEN UNITE
M. T. w. Expected to Be
American Opposition

A united front of reactionary lead
ers Of the conservative Seamen's
Unions of America and Great Britain
is seen in the action of the executive
board of the International Seamen's
Union meeting at Chicago, in appoint
ing one of the leading labor takers of
Illinois, Victor A. Olander, to confer
with ]. Havelock Wilson, head of the
conservative National Sailors and
Firemens Union of Great Britain to
expose the Communists"
Havelock Wilson, hated by all revo-
lutionary and progressive seamen as
one of the worst of Britain's mislead-
ers Of labor, landed recently in Can
ada and is expected to visit American
cities. His first words when inter.
viewed after landing, was a diatribe
against the Communists, to whom he
lays the present outlaw" strike of
British seamen.
"The Old Man Of the Sea-"
The same executive meeting of the
Il. S. U. instructed the "Old Man of
the Sea-" Andy Furuseth, who has rid
den on the backs Of American seamen
for decades, to no advantage or bene-
fit of the seamen, to confer with rep
resentatives of the conservative Ger
man Seamen's Union These Ger
mans are expected to arrive in Amer
lea in the near future,
The effort Of the American reaction
airy marine union officials is taken in
an effort to offset the sweep of revolt
among the worlds seafarers against
policies of narrow isolation and col
laboration with the shipping com
panies and government agencies, such
as the U. S. shipping board.
I. S. U. Loses as /. w. w. Gains
The l. S. u, because of its narrow
and reactionary policies and insist
ence upon a patriotic plan of working
at low wages ito keep the American
flag on the high SEAS" has lost men,
bership wholesale and now stands
where it did about 30 years ago. A
report made by Furuseth in the re-
cent past said that the |. S. U. has
only about 1900 members.
While the l. S. U. has been declin-
ing, the Marine Transport Workers
Industrial Union of the | w. W. has
been growing steadily, particularly
since it began to make common cause
with other marine unions in such
issues as strikes, and now is reckon
ed as the strongest seamen's organ
ization in the American field, not only
because it has three or four times the
members of the /. S. U. but in addi-
ton it has a fighting policy to attract
the discontinued workers who have
suffered terribly from post war de-
preston, and the open shop camp
aigns.
1t is expected that the I. w. w.
seamen will find it not only natural
but very much to their interest to
join hands with the rebellious British
and German seamen and OUTLAW"
strikers to combat the reactionary
leaders of both European and Amer.
lean marine unions, and to build up a
fighting front which, if not Joined in
the same unions, will be able to act
in close cooperation in the struggle
for better conditions.

PRO-COMMUNIST
God BEDEvILLED
GREEN'S SPEECH
Satan Appeared ROBBED
Like Small Cyclone
BY OWEN STIRLING
Especial to The Daily Worker)

DETROIT, Mich-(By Mail)-If
there is god he is just god and a
Communist god, The gentle south
wind proved it.
William Green, the president Of the
American Federation Of Labor. by
grace of the executive council, was
reading his Labor Day address on
Belle Isle, Detroit's island playground.
Thousands of workers were at the
American League ball game. Thous-
ands were at the opening of the Mich
igan state fair. Thousands were
along the bridge railing and river
shore watching the speed boat RAGS
on the Detroit river. Thousands more
were sprawling on the grass with their
kids having a good lazy time. About
two thousand were sitting in front of
the open air platform listening to the
speech. Organized labor in Detroit has
certain discipline of its own. 1t
turns out on certain occasions. This
was not one of them. ~
Devil Yet 5usy.
Green came to the most monfentous
part of his speech. II was the part in
which he belabored us Communists
most numerically. In fact we might
almost say he extraordinarily
us. But right in the middle of the
second sentence--whiffl The gentle
south wind took his words right out of
his hand The, sudden eddy OF air
snatched the sheets of paper on which
the speech was written and laid them
in the utmost disorder on another
part Of the platform floor. Green was
left standing with his mouth open.
Altogether it was a sign.
But if there is a god Frank X. Mar
tel, president of the Detroit Fedora
ton of Labor, is going to the bad
place He was sitting near where the
speech fiuttered. So he picked up the
sheets, rearranged them and returned
them to Brother Green. And Brother
Green is going to the bad place too,
because he finished reading the
speech.
The audience didn't appear super
sititious tho. Everybody laughed.

All Rebels Unite In Action.
The Communists, several hundred
strong, marched side by side with the
members of the Marine Transport
Workers No. $40 I. w. W., carrying
the following banners: down with

Long live international trade union

Don't scab on your fellow seamen,
Down with the socialist scab inter
national" Long live the Third Com

The wobblies carried the following
slogans: I'VE condemn the scabs or
the steamship Majestic" Down with
scabbery," IAN injury to one is an in,
jury to ALL" Passengers don't ride on
scab manned ships. 1t is unsafe,
Help make the British seamen's

Attracts Attentlon--and Police
Before the ship locked the parade
started on West street in single file
around the docks of the White Star
line. It attracted widespread atten
ton among the workers on the water.
front until it grew to such proper
lions that it was disrupted by the
police.
Meanwhile detectives had warned
HillQuit of the reception which he
was about to receive from American
workers as soon as he landed. He
therefore slipped warily out thru a
side entrance to escape the aroused
workers who were waiting for him
outside of the dock.

expected now as a matter Of course,
with this Denver example thus set.
And, of course, McAdoo clubs may be
likewise expected, for it Is not think
able that the followers of the Califor-
nian, who led the voting at Madison
Square Garden for more than 100 bal
lots. will not accept the challenge. In
deed, the McAdoo organization is al
ready effected. a leftover" from the

start afresh for 1928. There is moth
ing in lthe political history of the
country, however, to warrant expec-
tation of such Utopian harmony.
The organization of candidate clubs
makes more difficult the task of those
who are now undertaking to reorgan-
ize and harmonic the party for 1928.
Partisanship must be overcome, but 1t
is hard to suppress it for the sake Of
an intangible. If the thermometers and
unifiers could produce. a prospective
candidate for 1928 attractive enough
to draw to single standard the Smith

The Poets Organization

Some Of our citizens are so indif
ferent to verbal harmonies and so
lacking in knowledge of the ancient
art of poetry that they have not heard
of the Poetry Society Of America. 1t is
not likely that so numerous body as
the poets could get along in the United
States without an organization, be-
cause the organization impulse Is
strong with the American people. No
other nation requires SO many So
cieties, clubs, councils and associations
as ours, nor can the citizens of any
other country join so many things and
be elected to so many titles as an
American. Organization is one of our
great Industries. 1t employs the time
and energy Of more persons than the
steel, textile, automobile and radio in
Gustries combined. The wages paid by
the organization industry are not so
large as that paid by the united build
ing trades, but the total OF dues paid
Is enormous. Space for listing the
clubs and associations Of the United
States could be found only in a Gov
ernment report.
Some may have thought that poets
were too busy with daffodils. sunsets
and the muses. to go in for organiza-
ton. and that they were a class Of
immortals SO high that they could not
stoop to such commonplace as re-
cording secretary. corresponding Sec

Sees Evolution Trial
AS Darwin VS.. Bible
To the Editor of The Star;

To the Editor of The Star;
In all the discussion and criticism
have seen anent the case of the
young Tennessee teacher who, in vio-
lation of the laws of his State, taught
in the public school in which he was
employed the pSeudo-science of evo-
luton, the assumption has seemed to
be that the trial of the case when 1t
comes up, with the talented and bril-
liant counsel that has volunteered to
serve on either side, will. somehow be
a contest between the Darwinian the
DRY of evolution and the biblical ac
count of creation-that one or the
other must fall. Regardless of the
merits of evolution as a science. and
also of the authenticity of the Bible
story, fail to see how any competent
court could permit such a controversy
to be aired in the trial of this case
The question involved, as l see it, is
simply whether or not the State of
Tennessee, as creator of the public
school system there administered and
as supporting the same with money
gathered by means of taxation levied
for that purpose, has the right to say
and enforce what shall or shall not
be taught in said schools. Many States
inhibit the teaching or even the read
ing without comment of the Bible in
public schools, and the right to do so
has not been questioned by these red
hot advocates of DarwiniSm. There
can be no conflict between true science
of any kind and the Bible, which is
Gods word of truth, as all truth must
agree, coming from the same common
source. But the trouble with some
intellectual highbrows in our colleges
and elsewhere is that they assume the
story of creation as recorded in
Genesis to be literal and, finding that

lie schools as against private or pa
rochial ones. But the right of the
State to determine what shall be
taught in it's own schools is another
matter. The impolicy of the Tennessee
law is obvious to any liberal-minded
man. But whether the Supreme Court
can find it unconstitutional is another
question.
"Justiee McReynolds, who comes
from Tennessee" points out the Roa-
noke WorldNews, read the unani-
nous opinion of the court. The right
of parents and guardians to direct the
educa ton of their children Is guaran-
teed by the Constitution. So that s
that Next
"As things stand" the Fresno Bee
remarks, this decision will undoubt-
edly act as a strong check to all such
meddlesome legislation in future. and
is thus a wholly unmixed blessing" "
In the light of this decision that
American children may study what
and where they please, we can await
with interest the Supreme Court s
decision on such evolution legislation
as that of Tennessee, should it by
any chance come before it," is the
Baltimore Suns view.
Several other States," the Pueblo
Star-Journal records, have witnessed
agitation for the passage of laws sim
liar to that of Oregon, but the de-
cision of tha Supreme Court will put
an end to further attempts to legis-
late private schools out of existence. -
The decision comes at an opportune
time, states the Providence Journal,
for "the proposal in Michigan to en-.
act law similar to the Oregon stat
ute now comes automatically to
naught, and a veXed issue is happily
removed from the realm of practical
controversy" The Ann Arbor Times
News adds that the court has done
Michigan, as well as Oregon, good
turn"
