MaurGr and WO|I
Expect TO Clash
At Boston Meeting
Especial to The Daily wOrker)

BOSTON, Mass. April 22.-Labor
circles here are watching closely the
opening Of the biennial convention of
the Workers Education Bureau, when
two of the most colorful figures in
the trade union movement will have
an opportunity to cross swords on an
old grievance, if they care to. One
is James Maurer, president of the
Pennsylvania Federation of Labor
and of the Education Bureau and the
other is Matthew Woll, vice president
of the A. F. of l.. and the Bureau.
They clashed recently on the Ma
tional Civic Federation's attitude on
old age pensions. Maurer, a leader
in the pension movement criticized
vigorously the policy of the Civic
Federation, of which Woll is acting
president. Here at Boston, however,
they will find themselves on the same
platform with full opportunity either
to reach an agreement on the old
age pension question, or to discuss
further their views.
SaccO-V -Vanzeth Action.
Some action is being planned on
behalf Of Sacco and Vanzetti, although
the form has not yet been deter
mined. 1t is urged that the 200 dele
gates go make pilgrimage to Ded-
ham jail, where the two workers are
held pending their threatened execu-
tion on July 10.
One issue likely to precipitate live
ly action on the convention floor the
opening day will be the status of the
Workers School Of New York. Claim
ing to be one of the largest, if not the
largest labor college in America, the
school is expected to ask a seat in
deliberations. If the Bureau, how
ever, follows out the action of the
A. f. of L. convention, the Workers
School may be banned because Of its
connection with the Workers Party.

Vatican Admits Leadership.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Irrita-
ted by the horror and resentment
against the catholic church, whose
priests led the clerical rebels who
perpetrated the Guadalajara-Mexico
City train massacre, the Rev. Pietro
Fumasoni-Binobi, apostolic delegate
to the United States, has hastened
to deny that the Mexican hierarchy
is responsible for it. However,
Fumasoni- Binobi, direct representa-
tive of the Vatican, inadvertently, in
his defense of the catholic rebels,
admits that priests led the attack.
Feels Hurt By Charge.
"The charge is without foundation
and the result Of the bitter hatred
of President Gales for the catholic
church." said the Rev. Fumasoni-
Binoli. "This bitterness of the pre-
sident Of Mexico and his utter lack
of logic must be evident to anyone
who reads his statement"
Because three priests led the at
tacking party, as he asserts, then we
must conclude that the catholic
church of Mexico is responsible for
the massacre.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April %.

ment has discovered a wide spread
plot to assassinate the public Off
