right for other countries but we here
in the United States should continue
our policy of rewarding our friends
and furnishing our enemies"
Plays to the Galleries.
AS almost one third of the 200 dele

Inquiry To Be Made
Into Detention Of
50 Chinese SeanleIl

Congressman La Guardia has writ
ten to Secretary of Labor Davis and
demanded an immediate investigation
into the detention of the thirty-eight
Chinese seamen who are being held
incommunicado on Ellis Island follow
ing an alleged mutiny on the Holland
American liner the Rotterdam a few
weeks ago.
The seamen were hired at Sc per
week at Rotterdam during strike
and were promised entry into the
United States on their arrival here
by Capt. Peter Van Der Heusen. They
were not informed that a strike was
in progress, according to Michael
Murphy of the International Seamen's
Club at 26 South st.
On the trip across the men were
forced to endure revolving living con-
ditions. They were fed on an unin-
terrupted diet of rice and wormy
dried fruit and hoased in filthy, damp
quarters.
Captain Lies to Crew.
On their arrival in Hoboken, Van
Der Heusen told them that they could
not go ashore as it was contrary to
the immigration laws. The Chinese
workers, Infatuated at the deception
which was practiced upon them,
forced their way to the street.
They were arrested and sent to FL
lis Island where they are now being
held incommunicado, according to
their counsel, Hugo Pollack, who said
that all efforts on his part to inter-
view his clients have been frustrated
by the island officials.
In La Guardia's letter to Davis he
urges that the investigation be di-
rected especially to discover if the
steamship companies are in conspir-
acy to unlawfully obtain admission of
Chinese into the United States and
are holding out promises to Chinese
workers that such entry can be made.

Jersey Traction Kings
Fighting for Monopoly

JERSEY CITY, N. j., June IA
The Public Service Corporation thru
its subsidiary the Public Service
Transportation Co. and its attorney,
William H. Speer, announced that it
would fight the franchise turned over
to the Central Avenue Bus Co. by
the Jersey City commissioners.
The action of Mayor Hague and the
Jersey City commissioners does not
meet with the drive and the approval
of the Public Service Corporation
which is out to get a 100 per cent con-
troll of Bus and Street Car Service in
the state of New Jersey. 1t has a
great deal Of influence over the State
Public Utilities Commission.
This corporation thru the republican
party which controls the state legisla-
ture and all the important committees
of the state dominates the entire state
The action of the state legislature in
removing the paving costs from the
corporation saves it hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. The attempts to
monopolise the transportation of pas
sengers and increase the fares of bus
rides and street car rides is only part
of their conspiracy to rob the public
Of millions of dollars for their own
purposes.

General Rafael de Nogales, pro-
fessional soldier of Venezuelan ma
tionality but Of wide experience
throughout Spanish America has ar
rived in New York and states that
American dollar diplomacy is arous-
ing storm Of resentment all over

by Brown Bros. are responsible for
the Diaz regime in Nicaragua and
the American intervention there.
Nogales stated that he had visited
the army of General SANDING, which
consisted Of about Thousand well
armed patriots opposing U. S. rule
and that altho so few in number,
they would be able to resist the in
vaders unless at least 10000 troops
were sent against them because Of
the nature of the country and the
sympathy Of the population.

Arrest Tim Buck for
Telling Ford's Workers
About Trip to Russia

TORONTO, July l., (By MALL
Tim Buck was arrested IN Ford City,
while addressing an open air meeting
on a vacant lot adjoining the new
Ukrainian Labor Temple. Comrade
Buck has recently returned from
Russia, and was describing his trip
to an enthusiastic audience.
Bucks demand for the reason for
his arrest was met with bullying and
insults from the police, and it was
found that the Desk Sergeant had re-
ceived orders not to grant bail.
A dele alton to the Mayor,
4'Ribsrdy," who was eiocted on his
"friend Of the working class" slogan,
was greeted with vague hints about
crushing out this red stuff and ref
erences to higher authorities.
After keeping Buck in the lookup all
night among bed-bugs and DRINKS, he
was released on the astonishingly low
bail of $500, after the total refusa
of bail the night before.
The 1900 Ford production workers
who have been working three days
q week, have now been laid off for an
indefinite period. They are begin
ming to fell the pinch. and the "frient
of the working class" isn't taking any
chances on their hearing anything
about this Russian stuff.

STATE MCANDREW
MUST co BECAUSE
OF SCHOOL CRAFT
Chicago Superintendent
Viciously Anti-Labor

Superintendent William McAndrew
of the Chicago School Board is
charged with helping to rob the
boards funds at the rate of one mil
lion year This interesting fact was
brot to light by the new president OF
the board, J. Lewis Coath. Mean
drew must go before September LIST is
the demand Of Coath.
Coath says the money was filched
from the boards treasury thru a
graft arrangement which enables
crooked officials to roll up mice little
piles" when holding office. It was
paid to middlemen who got school
contracts to resell to companies and
these middlemen in turn make re-
bate to the officials for the favor.
Always Against Labor.
This closes another chapter in the
history of the struggles of the Chi
cago teachers with the open shop
bosses who make up the personnel of
the school board. 1t was these rep
resentatives of big business in Chi
cago who imported McAndrew from
New York to break the teachers
union.
Fought Union.
AS soon as he took office he began
campaign for the abolition of any
organized activity conducted by the
teachers. He carried on ruthless
fight against the teachers councils, a
form of shop meetings held weekly
by the organized teachers. He finally
succeeded in aboIishing them. He de-
MED the teachers the right to post
bulletins in the school buildings an
nouncing their union meetings, ne
threw many teachers out of work by
crowding the classrooms, he fought
for a cut in teachers wages and ar
increase in wages of principles anc
older teachers thus employing the ole
game of creating divisions among
workers.
He installed the system Of secret
markings of examination papers fol
teachers which was useful for dis
elimination against aggressive ano
militant teachers. He locked then
wages if they were laid up with Ill
ness.
It is interesting to note that the
systematic attack which he conducted
against the teachers were made I'M
der the pretense of saving money.

spokesman for the delegation.
President Green" said one of the

the press to create the impression
that we made all our preparations in
secret. AS matter of fact the whole

pursued by the state department to-
ward the Soviet Union.
