STRIKE SCARES
STANDARD OIL
Guard Scabs with Army

NEW YORK, May H Enthusiasm
reigned today in headquarters of the
Marine Transport Workers Industrial
Union No. $40 of the Industrial Work
ers of the World over prospects for
ultimate victory in the strike it has
called on all seagoing ships. Altho
the strike only became effective Mon
day many reports are reaching head
quarters of whole crews deserting
ships.
Standard oil Afraid.
Despite lack of funds the Marine
Transport Workers Industrial Union
again has struck fear into the hearts
of the ship owners. Even the Standard
Oil Company is afraid. Neither the
power of it's millions nor the name Of
John D. Rockefeller himself can add
to its profits If its slaves rebel.
The Standard Oil Company is TAX
ing no chances. It is moving heaven
and earth to keep its miserably-treated
employees from contact with the Ma
rine Transport Workers Union. Five
Standard Oil tanker crews, so men
in all, were actually shipped under
guard from the South Ferry terminal
to Staten Island yesterday.

Five uniformed policemen and

ROALD AMUNDSEN
and ELLSWORTH
PASS over POLE
May Have Made Land
ing for Research Work
Especial to The Daily workerI


OSLO, Norway, May 1s.-Captain
Roald Amundsen and Lincoln Ellis
worth are probably making a joint
celebration aboard the Norge of their
success in reaching the North Pole.
Advices to the Norwegian Aero Club
would indicate that Amundsen prob
ably passed over the North Pole some
time in the morning about 1880.
Messages picked up here from the
Norge would indicate that the dirigible
has made excellent time in her flight
thru the polar regions, and if Captain
Amundsen continues on to Alaska
without making stop at the pole ne
should reach Point Barrow some time
Thursday. If he encounters unfavor-
able weather the arrival at Alaska
may be delayed until Friday.
May Land at Pole.
There is an opinion prevalent in
scientific circles here, however, that
Captain Amundsen will make land
ing at the pole II conditions are at all
favorable. The explorer is known to
feel that the mere fight over the pole
will not add a great deal to the pres
ent scientific knowledge Of conditions
there, and he is anxious TO make a
landing and take soundlngs and make
other observations II possible.

WASHINGTON, May II. -- Andrew

the republican nomination for senator
against Clifford Pinchot, governor of
Pennsylvania, and Boss" Ware. of
Philadelphia. Mellon is II years of
age and this Is the first time he has
appeared on public platform in a
political campaign. Hitherto his
talents have been confined to pulling
wires behind the scenes.
Administration Spokesman.
While Coolidge, himself, pretends to
take no part in the Pennsylvania con-
test, the presence of Mellon is proof
that the administration officially
enters the campaign in behalf of Pep
per.
The contest has wider implications
than the securing of the nomination
for senator because 1t involves control
Of the republican machine which has
had no decisive central direction since
the death Of Boies Penrose, for years
boss of the machine in that state.
Also the defeat OF Pinchot is
desirable from the standpoint Of the
Mellon-Coolidge gang because If
Pinchot wins in the primary it will
place him in a strategic position for
the presidential nomination on the
republican ticket in 1928.

LABOR OPPOSES
MILITARY CAMPS
Resolution Adopted AT
ter Bitter Fight
BY GEORGE PAPcUN
Especial to The Daily Worker)

ERIE, Pa, May IA. - A resolution
against the citizens military training
camps, which was presented by a coal
miner Of Western Pennsylvania, was
brot on the floor Of the convention
with an unfavorable report by the res
olutions committee. After bitter
fight the resolution was adopted over
whelmingly with only twenty dele
gates voting against the adoption of
the resolution.
President Maurer Of the Pennsyl.
vania State Federation of Labor was
greatly surprised when the committee
brot in the unfavoraIble report and
stated in the convention that the res
olution must be adopted by the feder.
alton when one of the delegates took
the floor and declared that the resolu-
ton was indefinite. President Maurer
declared the resolution was decidedly
against military training.
The resolution calls for condemning
the citizens military training camps
and declares that the delegates to the
American Federation OF La0cr cOnven-
ton shall fight, lobby and sse that the
resolution shall be adopted and that
this resolution shall be the policy of
the American Federation Of Labor
towards the citizens military training
camps and that the executive council
shall start a statewide campaign in
Pennsylvania for fighting against the
citizens military training camps by
agitation, propaganda and other
means.

Openshop Schools Train
Scabs to Break Strike

The action OF the plasterers at their
union meeting in reafirming their de-
mands for $14 day basic wage and
the insertion Of clause allowing the
union to go on sympathy strike with
any of the other building trades crafts
and their insistence to stay on strike
has forced a number Of the contractors
to sign agreements with the union. To
date 100 contractors have signed the
agreements.
A number Of the bosses have de-
termined to resist the strike and are
using men furnished by the Citizens
Committee TO Enforce the Landis
award to break the strike. Union
plasterers point out that most of those
that are placed on jobs are apprentices
furnished from a number of open-shop
schools in the city.
A glance thru the ad sections Of a
number Of the Chicago capitalist
dailies will show that there are about
dozen schools that promise to turn
out plasterers in two to three weeks
promising jobs at $35 to $40 a week
to beginners. Most of these ads are
blinds for openshop schools where
scabs are being trained to break the
present strike.

lowing amendments were offered by

This is to be apportioned as follows:
S75,OO0,00O to stabilize cotton prices

two years.
Removal Of embargo features.
These projected concession to con.
servative members from farm districts
were expected to enlist sufficient sup.
port for the measure to insure its
passage.
Administration leaders, however, are
opposed to the bill and are solidly
backing the Tincher proposal for a
$10,0O0,O00 federal loan program to
farm co-operatives, and declared they
were confident the Haugen bill would
be defeated" as the hackers OF the
Curtis-Aswell and Tincher bills had
