'Indiscretion' Caused
School Board to Stop
Promotion of Teacher

NEW YORK, Nov. 10. - 'Indiscre-
ton in the use Of language" was given
as the reason for the refusal of the
New York board OF superintendents to
promote. DR.. Abraham Lefkowitz by
DR.. william o'Shea, member of the
board. O'Shea said that he voted to
promote Lefkowits, but believed the
other members also had a right to
vote against promotion because they
thought he was a radical.
The "indiscretions" charge against
the teacher we're that in referring to
the republican party and democratic
party he used the terms 'Gyp, the
blood and Tony, brass-knuckled phi
losopher,' and in speaking Of the
United States as the so-called great
est republic in the world, said o'shea.
These were committed" FIVE years
ago.

continuous applause. The district Of
fleials failed to reply to the points
mentioned by Hapgood, but, instead,
INDUCED in bitter attack against In
dividual candidates and supporters Of
the John Brophy ticket. The applause
received by Powers Hapgood showed
that at least 95 per cent Of the meet
ing was in favor of the Save the Union
program and candidates.
Try to start Fist Fight.
At one point, when David Fowler Of
Scranton INDUCED in personal attacks
against the progressiyes, one OF the
miners asked why he didn't speak
about the policies Of John L. Lewis,
instead of attacking certain individ-
uals. This was too much for this Of
fetal and he jumped down half the
steps, threatening to beat up the man
who dared to ask him such question.
He changed his mind, however, and
returned to his original place to con-
unue his speech.
The rank and file compelled him to
sit down and the meeting was ad-
journed amid stormy uproar against
the district bureaucracy.

Old Forge Miners
Greet Alex Howat
with Enthusiasm
BY a Worker Correspondent.

OLD FORGE, Pa, Nov. 19. - Alex
Howat spoke to large miners mass
meeting here Sunday in behalf Of
Brophy campaign. Other speakers
were Brennan, Argoni in Italian, Your
ish in Polish and Toohey.
The crowd of 400 miners waited two
hours overtime for Howat and the
party to arrive from the Scranton
meeting but not a single man broke
ranks.
AS Howat stepped from the auto in
front of Columbia Hall the hundreds
of miners gathered outside cheered
again and again. The miners Of this
town remembered Alex when he was
here three or more years ago. Brennan
closely analyzed and interpreted the
anthracite contract and conclusively
proved to the satisfaction of all pres
ent the contract is saturated and reek-
ing with arbitration of the worst kind.
He called for support OF Brophy and
Stephenson and to fight for the Save
the Union" program.

Expose Rum Graft in
Cleveland Higherups
BY a Worker correspondent.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 10. - After q
long period OF graft in enforcing the
dry law, an exposure is promised.
Justices Of the peace have been getting
so much for each case, which has been
one of their main sources Of income,
especially when it was not possible to
arrest man for any other offense.
Without warrant, homes have been
invaded, cases have been fixed, ex-
convicts, crooks and vicious charac-
ters have been employed as dry
agents, exorbitant and unreasonable
fines have been fixed by justices and
mayors and various other methods are
being ascribed to the offlcialdom.
An investigation is being made by
the federal government, and 1t is ex-
pected that the smell will reach to
heaven.

NEW KENSINGTON, Pa, Nov. 19,
"A mass meeting was arranged by
the "Brophy for President Committee"
OF Sub-District 7, District 5, United
Mine Workers of America, for last
Sunday, Nov. IA, at p. m. The I'm
perial Theater of this city was rented
and a deposit given. The Burgess
promised a representative Of the ar
rangements committee not to interfere
with the meeting, adding that no writ
ten permit Is needed for Sunday
meeting, but that his promise is suf-
flcient. Brother Frank Keeney, for
mer president of District II, U. M.
w. Of A., was advertised to speak on
the coming elections IN the miners
union. Keeney is supporting the Save
the-Union ticket headed by John
Brophy.
Officials Capture Hall.
Much to the surprise Of the arrange
ments committee, they found the hall
occupied by district officers headed by
Pat Pagan when they arrived to open
the hall. Asking what they meant
they were told that officials rented the
hall and paid for it. They also claim
that they secured written permit
from the Burgess to hold a meeting.
The committee took the matter up
with the manager of the Imperial
Theater, who promised that the hall
would be vacated by the district Of
ficials at p. m. This, however, was
