ENGINEERS WILL
LIQUIDATE THEIR
BANKS And Mines

CLEVELAND, July 20 (FP).-The
history-making 46-day convention of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers in Cleveland has ended and the
abysmal depths into which the late
Warren S Stone plunged the aristo-
crat of American labor unions have
been caissoned and scaffolded to make
possible the long and painful way out
again The brotherhood has turned
from the paths of capitalism deter
mined to sin no more.
"I hope to see the time when we
can forget all about these investment
and speculative enterprises" grand
chief engineer AL Johnston, the only
big official to survive the convention
hurricane, told the delegates on the
closing day "For the last years the
advisory board had forgotten the
brotherhood. 1t was financial stuff
all the time. hope hereafter we can
make the labor end of our brother
hood 90 per cent and the financial
side only 10 per cent instead of the
other way, as it has been heretofore"
To Liquidate Banks.
This abdication from the 100000

vestment was put on record by the
convention in a moderately worded

joint BOARD And
FUR TRIM BOSSES
TO FORM BUREAU

Formation of a Labor Bureau for
fur workers was decided upon last
night at meeting of the Conference
Committees Of the New York Joint
Board, Furriers' Union and the Fur
Trimming Manufacturers.
According to Ben Gold. manager
Of the Furriers' Joint Board, both the
manufacturers and the union will CO.
operate in organizing this new bureau
and it is believed that it will operate
to the best interests of both groups.
Won't Crowd Market.
The Labor Bureau will inaugurate
a thorough classification of the craft
and skill of the fur workers, and this
will do away with the haphazard sys-
tenn of employment that has existed
in the trade heretofore. The estab-
lishment of such bureau will also
do away, to a great extent, with the
crowding of the fur market by those
who are seeking employment, and
who endeavor to meet prospective
employers-or their representatives
in the streets of the market. This
system has for long time been con-
sidered an evil and both the Joint
Board and the manufacturers will be
glad to see it replaced by the SER
vices of the bureau, which was formed
by the unanimous vote of both par
ties.
Comply With July Increases.
The Conference Committee of the
Fur Trimming Association agreed at
the Wednesday meeting to forward
a letter to all its members request
ing that they comply with the tradi
tional July increases in the workers
wages, and not to take advantage OF
the present unsettled conditions in
the trade. This was urged as proof
to the Joint Board of the Associa-
tons good faith. Both this proposed
letter, and the formation of the La
bor Bureau were considered by both
sides to be important steps in the
relations between the Joint Board
and the manufacturers.
Fur Dyers Continue Drive.
Three hundred fur dyers employed
by the Stein Fur Dyeing Company,
500 East 18th street, who went on
strike Tuesday, decided to continue
their drive for the organization of
a union among fur dye workers at
meeting held last night at BAT East
72nd street.

special Dispatch to The Star.

Topeka, Kans.. August H.
| Political speculation in Kansas is
| concerning itself principally with the
probable effect in Kansas of Presi-
! dent Coolidge's Il do not choose
statement The first Kansas reac-
ton was that the choose" meant
that if the next national convention
chose" to make Coolidge the candi-
date, then the President would not
insist upon his own mot choose"
But by now the belief is pretty
fairly established that what the
President was trying to convey to
the public was that he didn't intend
to be a candidate, and is not a candi-
date. With that as a background
sentiment among party leaders here
is veering to the view that the odds
favor a Kansas delegation to the
next convention supporting Herbert
Hoover for the nomination.
Hoover Favored by Both Factions.
In the first place leaders of the
two extreme wings of the Republican
party in Kansas both believe in
Hoover. though more strongly in his
ability las President than in his
strength as a candidate in this sec
ton of the country. The Hoover
dinners" are not pleasant memories
and the farmers still have an under
slung belief that Hoover stepped in
and placed a maximum price on their
products during the war, while
every one else got a minimum limit.
And to some extent the thing seems
still to be running that way. in the
minds of a lot of farmers and nearly
all farm leaders.
But getting back to party leaders,
David w. Mulvane, national commit
teeman for Kansas. represents what
might be termed the extreme right
wing of Kansas Republicanism. At
the head Of the other wing is the
forceful figure and typewriter of VIII
liam Allen White of Emporia, Progress
sive leader of Roosevelt days and
leader of various forlorn hopes in
politics before and since that time.
Both are said to be in accord with
Hoover, although neither has issued a
formal statement to that effect. Pri-
vately. both have made it plain that is
the position they take.
Basis of Support.
Hoover's inland waterways as solu-
ton of the relatively high transporta-
ton costs in what he calls the Hin
terland," also have met with consider
able approval in this section. Psyche
logically. Hoover might have chosen a
better term than "Hinterland" for the
broad eXpanse of farm land in the
mississippi Missouri Valleys. But that
is aside from the question.
The foregoing. plus the general
recognition of Hoover's organizing
and executive ability, probably would
be the foundation of a campaign to
name Hoover delegation from
Kansas.
There are several more nearly pure
ly political factors that might operate
in his favor in Kansas in the pre-
convention campaign. For instance.

nee, IL Is believed almost certain that
the vice presidential nominee will
come from the Mississippi-Missou
Valley region. Hoover will be strong
with the East He is a Californian
and will get good support from the
Pacific section.
That means some one with good
standing in agricultural circles would
be a logical running mate for Hoover.
And it is just as likely to be Senator
Curtis of Kansas, or Senator Capper
of Kansas as any one else. So the
friends of these, other things being
equal, are quite likely to look with
favor on the nomination of Hoover.
Also. those who enjoy playing poll
tics like TO play on the winning side,
when they can easily. Some of them
whether it comes easy or not. This
type has it figured out that Coolidge
would not have withdrawn from the
race unless he were reasonably GER
tain that Hoover, generally regarded
as the administration choice. could be
nominated. That means he will 90
into the convention with an edge on
the other candidates.
Probable Choice of Farm Group.
Now the farm organizations, as
whole. probably would prefer cllliet
Vice President Dawes or Frank Low
den, former Governor of Illinois. But
the farm organizations are not so or
ganized as to WELD a preponderatlng
influence in a convention. And mum
Der of their membership are not OPP
posed to Hoover. Hoover as President
also would mean another four or eight
years for DIR. William NJ. Jardine of
L. nf
And on the whole Kansas is rather
proud of having n Kansan on the
Presidents cabinet. Add to that the
chance that the Hoover nomination
might mean a Kansas man for Vice
President and YOU have some so-called
'practical' reasons why there will be
some powerful sentiment working for
Hoover in Kansas III the next few
months.
OF course this doesn't mean that

SEE THE BELT" JOINT DEFENSE COMMITTEE URGES;
PROCEEDS FOR FRAMED UP NEEDLE TRADES WORKERS
By LUDWIG LANDY

(Manager, Joint Defense COmmittee.)
During the next two weeks the
New Playwrights' Theatre perform
.ances will be played exclusively for
the benefit Of the Joint Defense Com
mittee, Cloakmakers and Furriers.
Aside from the fact that the militant
needle workers in New York will
benefit from these performances an
other fact to be remembered is that
the New Playwrights' Theatre is our
nearest approach so far to a genuine
cooperative labor theatre in America.
In the past, defense organizations
have been quick to seize every oppor-
tunity to raise funds. Broadway
theatre nights, movie benefits, every
thing has been exploited in the drive
to gather funds to combat the reac-
tionary bureaucracy in the needle
trades unions. "The Belt" benefit,
however, is more than a money-rais-
ing stunt. The directors of the New
Playwrights' Theatre have more than
financial interest in reaching the
militant working masses of New
York. They are actuated by a sincere
desire to become. a vital part Of the
militant labor movement.
Known To Rebels.
The playwrights of this dramatic
experiment are known to all readers
of revolutionary literature and drama.
Three of the dramatists, Mike Gold,
John Dos Passos and John Howard
Lawson, were arrested while picket
ing the Massachusetts State House
prior to the execution of Sacco and
Vanzetti. En- 10 Basshe, author of
Earth" and Francis Edwards Far
ragoh display marked left labor ten
denotes.
"The Belt" is a keen, biting satire
on paternalistism as practiced in the
Ford Motor Company open SHOP
plants in Detroit. It is true that the
play is Intellectual in many instances
when viewed from the point of view
of effective class war tactics; still
it's vivid, moving background of a
modern shrieking automobile factory
gives the play a distinct modern
touch. Certainly no attempt is made
to hide the cruel, strength-sapping
fury of the speed-up system Of
straight-line production, and the point
is well made that American industry
is run exclusively for the benefit of
the master class and to the detrinent
of the wage slaves.
