little discussion from either Bramor-

Levin-Krzycki crew all the time they
wanted-and they wanted it all. So
unfair was this that members Of the
local cried out from all over the hall
in protest against the unfairness.
Bramorski himself was permitted to
speak only once and briefly against
his many detractors.
Strangely enough, the supposed
charge Of passing out leaflets" was
completely ignored. Nothing was
said about that at all. But Levin and
Krzych and all their gang Illuminated
at length upon the point that Bramor-
ski had took part in the protest
demonstrations against the catholic
white guard government OF Poland
FOR its murders and imprisonment Of
Polish workers.

UTICA STRIKE
AIDS BLACKLIST
Organizer Permits Dis
elimination
Especial to The Daily worker)

UTICA, N. Y, April 16.-The be-
trayal Of the mayors arbitration
committee assisted by Joseph R.
White of the United Textile Workers
is. now showing up in the discharge
and blacklist of active union workers
from the textile mills. In spite Of
this Organizer White is discouraging
a protest strike and playing the game
Of the mill bosses in the most brazen
manner.
Five active union workers have
been discharged. The bosses find
fault in their work without reason,
and in this way try to get rid of them
because they are trying to get other
workers to join the union. Any ae-
tive union man is forbidden from 60
ing around the workroom, even during
the noon hour In addition the boss
es are adopting an unbearable atti-
tude Of provocation, calling the work
ers unprintable names.
Those discharged are two spinning
6xers, one girl in the spooling, one
man in the card room and Tony Gil
glotti, a yarn tender, the most active
member Of the spinning room union.
Tony was going around the room
to get the workers to join the union.
The superintendent told him to stop
asking workers to join the union, but
Tony still got the workers to sign up
their application cards. So the SUI
perintendent told one Of his straw
bosses to fire Tony.
That was last Saturday, and the
workers in the mill have been very
angry and want to go out on strike
to force the mill to take Tony Gil
glotti back to work. But yesterday
morning Joseph R. White, organizer
Of the U. T. w. of A., who seems to
do just what the bosses want done
told the workers of the Utica Steam
and Mohawk Valley Cotton mills that
they must not strike to defend their
fellow worker. But the workers are
demanding that he be put back on
the job-and nobody knows now what
will happen.

julius Srnitenka and
Supt. McAndrew Clash
on Salary Schedule

julius +. Smitenka, chairman of the
finance committee of the school board
is holding out against Superintendent
McAndrew's new salary schedule it
was learned yesterday. He won't APP
prove before he knows how the super
intendent proposes to get the money.
There will be no more closed meet
ings on the proposal" he said. The
Showdown" on the proposal will come
at the next regular meeting Of the
board which will be held Wednesday
afternoon.
The clash came when McAndrew
refused to consider a suggestion that
the lists be approved Gin principle"
and that their provisions be made in
operative until November 1926. At
that time referendum will be called
on the question of increased tax rates.
The position taken by the Chicago
Teachers Federation differs from
that taken by Trustee Smitenka. The
teachers do not object to getting a
raise. But they do object to an in
crease that leaves the bulk of the
teaching staff out in the cold and
provides large increases for the artist
ocracy of the teaching staff. They also
emphatically denounce any talk of
increases in the tax rate before pro-
perty controlled by big business inter-
ests has been property assessed and
the revenue due the schools from that
property is collected.

STUDENTS HEAR
THURBER LEWIS
ON COMMUNISM


Students of the University of Chi.
cago heard a thing or two about Com
munism from Communist yesterday
morning. On invitation Of the school,
Comrade Thurber Lewis took over a
session Of DR.. Hollis class in Huskell
Hall. The students were anxious to
hear what the professor called 1.-THE
Communists criticism Of society"
Comrade Lewis was cordially re-
ceived and spent half hour or so ex.
planning the viewpoint OF Communist
toward capitalism, reviewing as much
as time would permit the fundament-
ais Of Communism, and closing with
a resume OF the struggle against cap.
italism thru the world medium of the
Communist international.
Shoes Under Communism
The rest of the time was given to
questions. "Can one be a Communist
and pacifst at the same timer" call
ed forth a statement OF the revolution
airy role of the workers movement.
How, for example, would a pair OF
shoes be made under Communism? ?"
Lewis replied, Much the same way
they are made now, by means Of large
scale industry, but, under Commun-
ism the maker of the shoes will have
a better opportunity to wear them
than he has now"
The students showed an interest in
developments in Russia and asked a
brief account ef the Trotsky contro-
versy.

Every Teacher Taken
Care of in Ricca Bill
Says DR.. Tildsley

NEW YORK, N. Y, April 16.-Dr.
John L. Tildsley, district superintend-
ent of schools Of New York City, is
cooperating with the teachers in their
struggle to get the Ricco bill which
calls for an increase in teachers sal
aries signed by Governor AL. Smith.
He sent out an appeal to friends Of
the public schools" to write or tele-
graph to the governor to sign the
Ricco salary bill.
Tildsley denied Mayor Hylan's
claim that the bill had been drawn
up in the interest of the higher paid
teachers. DR.. Tildsley said that the
teachers from the kindergarten to the
6B grade would profit by the Ricca
salary bill. In speaking of the in
crease in taxes he said 1t would am
cunt to about one mill in the tax rate.
DIR. Tildsley said that teachers are
now receiving only 70 per cent of the
purchasing power of 1914 and the bill
would increase this to about 90 per
cent. Many teachers, he said, were
compelled to take on extra work so
that teaching in New York has be-
come a part time Job.
The United Real Estate Owners
Association Of New York is viciously
attacking the teachers salary bill, and
Mayor Hylan has lined up with that
element. Hylan is strongly opposed 10
the bill. Stewart Brown, president Of
the real estate owners boosted last
night that he is sure Governor Smith
will veto the bill.

campaign for united front initiated
by the central executive committee of

League is at last bearing fruit, can
be seen by the fact that a delegate

tile unions and from unorganized mills

Massachusetts, to plan ways and
means Of united action against the
wage cuts.
In conformity with the party pro-
gram of active leadership in the strug-
gle against the textile barons, the ex-
ecuitve committee of District One,

rying on campaign to organize the

Seventy thousand workers in the
cotton mills here have had their
wages cut from ten to twenty per
cent. Speeding-up systems have been
introduced in nearly all the mills.
The textile workers are unorganized
and have no means of resistance to
the bosses. The few unions that exist
only divide the textile workers.
"Shop committees must be formed
in every mill. United front commit
tees of textile workers must be or
ganized in every mill center. The
many little weak and ineffective
unions Of textile workers must be
amalgamated into one powerful in
dustrial union. sr
"The textile workers must be or
ganized to resist the millionaire mill
owners. The Communists, members of
the Workers Party, must take the
lead in this campaign to organize the
exploited textile workers.

KLANSMAN Held
FOR CRIMINAL
ATTACK ON GIRL
Doctor Tells Story of
Brutal Assault

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April t6.-D.
o. Stephenson, former grand dragon
of the ku kIux khan in Indiana, a we'll
known Indiana politician, and owner
of a large factory, was held for trial
in criminal court on charges Of Grim
inally attacking Miss Madge ober-
hotter, %, whose funeral was sehed-
uled to be held today.
Judge James A. Collins today de-
MED Stephenson's motion to quash
all charges contained in five indict-
ments against Stephenson. No de-
finite date was set for the trial, but
Judge Collins said the case would
probably be reached about May 25.
Dragged and Beaten.
DR.. John Kingsbury, who attended
Miss Oberholtzer after she returned
home from the kidnapping and attack,
testified at the coroner's inquest that
before her death the girl told him
she had been summoned to Stephen
sons home. Drinks were being mix
ed, and she was forced to drink. She
tried to escape by calling for help on
the telephone, but she was beaten and
snatched away from the phone. The
drink overpowered her, and she could
offer no resistance.
The girl was then taken on a train
to Gary, she told DR.. Kingsbury. Ste
phenson remained in her drawing
room and attacked her, she said
When they reached Hammond she
was forced to remain at the same no.
tel room with Stephenson, and was
again attacked.
Poisoned Herself.
She secured poison in drug store,
to which Stephenson and his two ac-
completes, Earl Gentry and Earl
Klenck, accompanied her thinking she
wished to purchase cosmetics.
When she told the khan kidnapers
that she had drunk poison, she was
taken back to Indianapolis, suffering
tortures, and kept prisoner in a gar
age. Altho Miss Oberholtzer pleaded
to be allowed medical attention, she
was refused, and was not released for
many hours.
The three klansmen pleaded not
guilty.
Responsible for Death.
None Of the charges against the
politician hold him responsible for the
girls death, but Charles E. Cox, attor-
ney retained by Miss Omerholtzer's
parents, has indicated the prosecution
will seek to fasten that responsibility
on him at the close of the coroner's
inquest.
Psychologists, who examined her
stomach after death, testified at the
inquest that death was due to mer-
curial poison, self-administered How
ever, the contention of the prosecu-
ton is that more serious indictments
are returnable against Steph nson, al
leging that he refused medical aid to
Miss Oberholtzer when he learned
she had swallowed a slow poison.
One of the charges against Stephen
son is kidnapping.
Klenck and Gentry are charged
with holding the girl a prisoner in
the Stephenson garage following her
return to indianapolis. All are at
liberty under bond.

BY CHARLES p. STEWART

Washington, April 28.-Do their
laws over regulate the American peo-
Pile?
That's not for me to say" replied
United States Attorney General John
G. Sargent. my business. as. attor-
ney general, is to enforce the law.
Making laws is a legislative function.
I'm strong believer in each man
sticking to his own job.
IF I we're legislator, I'd have
something to say about law-making.
In the Department Of Justice my
duty is to administer the laws as l
find them. If think a change
should be made, may recommend
it. I've no right or desire to criti-
cize otherwise.
"Most Of our troubles seem to
me due to intolerance failure to
understand our neighbors. In this
country our laws change pretty fast,
too. Accustomed to the old estab-
lished laws we violate the new ones
unreflectingly. 1 believe that's how
most of our new regulations are
broken-thoughtlessly.
Generally, I think the American
people mean to obey our laws
"DOesn't-Our multiplicity OF regu-
lations," l asked, "hamper law en-
forcement. Doesn't it make for
general disrespcct of law? Anyway,
there are more arrests just now than
ever. Prison populations are in
creasing."
"Our laws" said the attorney
general, sin the very nature OF
things, must naturally expand in
proportion to our growth, nation
ally and internationally, for we live
in a period of constant progress

"You emphasize that there are
more arrests for infractions of the
law than ever before. To me that
suggests better law enforcement, not
laxity."
