Power Trust Hand Seen
In Attack on Teachers

CHICAGO, May 16 (FP)-The
hand of the power trust and its ma
tion-wide lobby is seen in the Seattle
school boards yellow-dog attack upon
the teachers by Secretary Treasurer
Florence Curtis Hanson of the Amer
lean Federation of Teachers.
Mrs. Hanson says: at is indeed
highly significant that at the same
time that the control by the power
industry over the schools of Wash
ngton is made public, that there
should also be made public the order
of the school officials of Seattle for
bidding teachers to join the Amer
lean Federation of Teachers, which is
the teacher organization which has
actively and continuously been fight
ing propaganda in our schools even
in the face Of bitter opposition.

FOREMAN CRAFTS
S. Per FROM MEN
Bricklayers Forced to
Give present"
(By Worker Correspondent

In former years building construc-
ton has been lively at this time of
year This year it is not.
The bosses and foremen are taking
full advantage of this situation. As a
result many building trades workers
are working below the scale.
A fifteen story apartment house is
now being erected on the corner of
Prospect Park West and Montgomery
Place, Brooklyn. The bricklayer fore
man takes five dollars a week from
every laborer who has to give it in
order to get the job. Some brick
layers pay much more.
The money is given on the Q. T.
and therefore it is impossible to catch
anybody with the goods. The same
thing is being done on many other
Jobs also.
1t is about time that an end was put
to this method OF getting and keeping
a job.

The progressive group is very

tries in every possible way to break

Lewis henchmen want to go back to
work and so they are trying in every
way possible to break up the union.
While the majority of the progress

the Lewis bunch called on the women
to break up the Ladies' Auxiliary be-
cause our ladies are too favorable 70

Mrs. Snedden and Polly Yates, who

LABOR PARTY TO
RUN MILITANTS
INPENNSYLvAN|A
Brophy, Ben Thomas,
Kutz on Ticket
by a Worker Correspondent

NDU u w OGhGT COTT6SpOBu6HtJ
PHII,A., Pa, (By MaiD. = The
Philadelphia Trade Union Committee
for Labor Party organized a mass
meeting at Machinists' Temple, 18th
and Spring Garden Streets on May 8
to celebrate the Centennial Of the
Pennsylvania Labor Party. The lead
ing state candidates Of the Labor
Party for the elections will be John
Brophy, candidate for Auditor Cen
eral, Ben Thomas candidate for State
Treasurer, and Charles Kutz, candi-
date for United States Senator.
In John Brophy, the leader of the
militant rank and file miners in their
struggle against the coal barons and
the reactionary, corrupt, operator
controlled Lewis machine, we have a
candidate who has real significance
for every worker. 1t means that after
a hundred years of the development
of the Pennsylvania Labor Party, in
which the Party has been dominated
by the reactionary leaders Of the A.
F. of L., and been used as a tool of
the old capitalist political parties, the
politicians of the Republican and
Democratic Parties, the Labor Party
now will put up candidates who are
real trade unionists, who run on no
other ticket but the Labor ticket, and
who, like Brophy and Thomas, have
a fine record of struggle for the rank
and file against the bosses and the
labor bureaucracy.
Only those trade unionists who
fight the reactionaries in the Labor
movement can come out as repre-
sentatives of the Labor Party at this
particular time. Consistently the
Pennsylvania Labor Party in the past
has supported politicians who We're
running at the same time on the Re-
publican and Democratic Parties, as
in the case. of William B. Wilson, can
didate for u. s.. Senator on the Demo
cratic and the Labor Party Ticket in
the last senatorial elections. In the
primaries of 1923, the State Labor
Party had the the brass to support
Mr.. Waters, a candidate of the Re-
publican Party, for the office of audi
tor general on the Labor Party,
against John Brophy. This is a
beautiful example of selling the La
Dor Party to the capitalists!
1t is interesting to note that James
Maurer, the candidate for vice-presi-
dent in 1928 on the Socialist Party
ticket, for many years the president
of the Pennsylvania Federation of
Labor, and an Influential figure in the
Pennsylvania Labor Party, allowed
the above sell-out to go on without
any struggle to make the Pennsyl-
vania Labor Party what it should be,
an instru tent of the workers to fight
against iniunctions, for unemployment
insurance, against the state troopers,
the "cossacks," for relief and sup
port of the miners in their struggle,
and not an instrument of the repub-
lican party for corralling the labor
vote.

intimate operetta based on in
N cidents in the life of Chopin goes
into rehearsal today under the direc
ton of Messrs. Shubert The oper-
eta, tentatively known as "Chopin's
Romance" has been adapted by Har-
ry B. Smith from the European work
of Sigurd Johannsen. The score, as
one might be led to believe, is not
made up of the music of Chopin, but
is an original one by the Hungarian,
Karl Hajos, composer of Malta"
Various compositions of Chopin, how
ever, are utilized in the score.
Odette Myrtil has been engaged for
the role of George Sand, and George
Baker, recently heard in "The Beg
CARS OPERA" will play the role of
Chopin. In addition to these two
characters, other historical figures
appear in the play, among them Mey-
erbeer, which role has been entrusted
to Max Figman. Heinrich Heine will
be interpreted by Ernest Lawford,
and Dubusson, George Sands pub
Usher, will be played by Lumsden
Hare. List appears in the play, but
the part has not yet been cast. Other
important players are Marion Mar
chand, Leo Henning, Allen Rogers,
Louise Beaudet, Hugh ChilYers, Mar
tina Mason.
"Chopin's Romance" opens in At
lantic City on June 18th, but it may
not be seen here until the fall.
Another production of "Chopin"
was recently announced by Charles
L. Wagner, but no further news has
been received since.
Gale Sondergaard, who has played
leading roles with the Jessie Bon
STEELE Company in Detroit for the past
two seasons, has been engaged for
the Theatre Guild Acting Company
for next season.
At the end of its thi1ty-fifth week,
"Dracula" will end its engagement at
the Fulton Theatre on Saturday and
move to California. The Horace Liver
light production is to open in Los
Angeles within three weeks and after
a run there it will return East in
September. The play will tour east
of Denver in the fall.
George Arliss will close his pres
ent tour in "The Merchant of Venice"
in the Plymouth Theatre, Boston, on
Saturday night. In October he will
begin long tour to the Pacific Coast
in this Shakespearean play.
John Galsworthy's Escape" has
proven so successful on its brief
spring tour that Winthrop Ames is
now considering sending it on the
road again next fall, with a well
known star in the leading role. "Es-
cape" ends its present season in
Washington Saturday.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson g. McKinnon)
March l.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The
allotment OF the New York City
per cent bonds Wednesday and
which had been awaited with much
interest because of the possible
bearing the price to be obtained
might have on the money look, was
gratifying, since the premium Of
fered fixes the lowest return to the
investor of any New York loan for
nearly twenty years. This indicates
a healthy money market. Further
more, disbursement of large amounts
of dividends and interest by cor
porationS is being reflected in de-
mand for investment securities. The
welcome change in the stock mar
ket's attitude toward oils is due to
expectations that there will be a
gradual improvement in conditions
affecting the petroleum industry.
And yet the belief persists that the
major part of the recovery in quite
a number of the other groups is
being negotiated at the expense of
the short interest. That Is why we
still suggest that long holdings
should be reduced on bulgeS.

CROP ESTIMATE
FAILS TO PUSH

Gains Are Irrelevant in Chi

Private Reports.
By United Press

DW CUttfu LItoo
CHICAGO, March Private
crop and farm reserve estimates
failed to provide the startling eff
fects expected on the Chicago Board
of Trade today. and although the
reports were bullish, gains were
irrelevant.
Private estimates on wheat re-
serves on farms we're about as ex-
pected and the market sold off
slightly, following their announce
ment. After a midsession rally the
market sank into dullness. The
only news was the lack of moisture
in the Southwest. Receipts were
twenty-three cars, and cash was
unchanged.
The same situation existed in the
corn pit as in wheat. Traders
considered the bullish estimates had
already teen discounted and the
market declined to rally slightly
late. Heavy receipts of $50 cars
depressed the cash market, which
was Off Z cent.
Oats estimates placed farm re-
serves at the lowest figure in years
and the commodity held it's gains
fairly well. Receipts were sixty-six
cars; cash market unchanged.
