Strike Proposed by
Teachers at Meet
of l,5OO in Chicago
Stormy Applause Greets
Resolution for
StOppage
Daily Worker Midwest Bureau


CHICAGO, March is. - Strikel
this is the word now being passed
around by Chicago's unpaid teach
ers. At a meeting Of the Illinois
Teachers Association, with about
1900 teachers in attendance the de-
mand for strike action was brought
on the floor by several teachers.
Though the resolution presented
by a teacher worded the call to
strike as recess, stormy applause
broke out backing the demand for
action. Chicago's teachers, beside
being forced to carry an unpre-
cedented teachers load (speed up,
large classes, have not received any
salary since the middle of last De-
cember, when they were given two
weeks pay. The city owes them
1000 900.
Rank and file teachers are organ
izing for militant action and against
the self styled dictator of the teach
ers, John Fewkes of Tilden High
School. Fewkes is attempting to
lead the teachers into legal actions
and to faith in the state legislature
bills.
Fewkes recently presented a
Unity Plan" for reorganization Of
all teachers, high school and ele-
mentary, which would have placed
complete power over the teachers in
the hands Of top chairman, with
Fewkes cycling that position. The
plan fell through though with the
passage by the teachers of the "An
Teachers Participation Plan" which
is based on teachers councils in all
schools and practically assures rank
and file control. This plan was
given more than 5000 votes in
closed balloting while the Fewkes
Pan received 5000. This plan was
supported by the militant rank and
file group.
The demands which have been is
sued by the rank and file teachers
group include:
Immediate payment of all back
salaries in cash. Restoration of
regular monthly cash salary pay
ments. That teachers be paid be-
fore the city pays interest to bank
ers and f1nanciers on city loans.
Restoration of basic salary schedule,
10 days sick leave and 10 month
school year. Reinstatement of
teachers on forced leave of alb
sence" with full back pay. Reduc-
ton of teacher load by employment
Of all unassigned teachers. Working
conditions to be administered by
teachers councils. Against "jim
Growing" and against Negro dis
elimination. For united action with
parents, students and workers or
CARNATIONS. For unemployment
and social insurance and support of
the Workers Unemployment IN
surance Bill H. r. 1898.
There are 1900 teachers in Chi
cago, 1000 unemployed.

as agent and special representative
Of the Soviet State Travel Company.
Under this agreement, the American
Express Company will operate at its
main Office in New York and at six
teen other important cities through
out the country, as well as in Mex
leo.
Mr.. Ralph E. ToWle, vice. resi-
dent of the American Express Com -
pany, who carried through the nego-
tiations, stated that his company
would establish Special Russian
Tour Department at their New
York Office, IS Broadway, to CO.
operate with Intourist in the United
States. He further remarked that
his firm would use its vast organi-
cation to stimulate and promote
travel in the Soviet Union.
American Express offices through
out the United States, in addition
to selling Intourist tours, are au-
thorized to sell tickets for the Soviet
railways. They will also be fur
nished with rates for Soviet steam
ships and airways.
AS a result of the growing interest
in the U. S. S. R. engendered by
governmental recognition of the
Soviet Union, coupled with the
greater ease in arranging Soviet
tours through the facilities Of his
firm, Mr.. Towle believes that many
more Americans will visit the Soviet
Union this year, and that many
other American tourists will leave
the beaten paths of Europe to add
Moscow to their list of capitals. Dur
ing the summer travel season the
American Express Company will
have its own representatives in
Moscow to greet and serve Amer
lean travellers.

Buffalo Foundry
Strike Is Solid
In Its 18th Week
ALL. Leaders Act To
Break Strike of
Iron MOulders

BUFFALO. N. Y, March 16.-
Still solid, the strike of 400 work
ers in the three foundries owned
by the Standard Foundry enters its
fourth week. The men are orga-
nized nearly 100 per cent in the
Steel and Metal Workers Indus
trial Union.
Over 5000 workers were on the
picket lines last Thursday and
1000 on Friday. Unemployed and
employed are uniting on the
picket line to keep scabs out.
The mass picket line followed
when police maltreated one of the
daughters of the strikers on the
picket lines. Arrests still con-
tinue. Teddy Napora, member of
the Strong Local of the union, is
held for jury trial.
The strike committee met with
representative of the company.
He demanded they return to work
with no guarantee of basic rate,
with piece-rate only. This was
rejected.
Leaflets were distributed with
scabs' names on them, which was
followed by a militant demonstra-
ton of over 200 women and chill
dren in front of the scabs' resi-
dence.
The strikers are demanding
wage increases up to the 1929
scales; continued recognition of
the elected shop committee; and
no discrimination.

them in. We won't take them out"
The committee occupied the To-
cal union floor for over two hours
exposing the whole rotten strike
breaking policy f the A. F. of L.
leadership.
Five thousand leaflets were dis

How does Comrade DUNES an
swer differ from the comrade who
asked the question concerned. He
stated, my refusal to marry
Negress is relevant to my refusal
to marry red-headed woman or
6-foot Pinch woman"
1t seems to me, both answers
smack of white chauvinism. l await
your answer on this question.
Victor Sholachman.
Answer: The attempt by Comrade
Sholachman to interpret as chau-
whistle the quoted sentence from
Comrade DUNES Southern speech
affords an example of logic reduced
to an absurdity. Comrade Sholach-
man takes up a logical proposition
and pushes it to such an extreme
that he inevitably, although perhaps
unconsciously, distorts it. He ignores
the fact that the sentence quoted
from Comrade DUNES speech was
by way of pointed retort to
chauvinist heckler. The very fact
that the chauvinist thought it neces-
sary to heckle Comrade Dunno
indicates land the record proves it,
that Comrade Dunno was present.
ing in detail the Communist posi-
ton on the Negro question, of full
equality, self determination, etc.
Comrade DUNES 1etort expressed
the contempt and hatred of revo-
lutionary for the hide bound chau-
whist.
1t is also necessary to point out
that the comrade who asked the
original question did not use the
term Negroes" as Comrade Sho-
lachman enormously quotes hin.
That tenn, like "Jewess." Niger"
"kike," ETC., are chauvinist express
sions and rightly Objectionable to
the revolutionary movement and to
the peoples against whom they are
directed as part of the prejudice
melting campaign of the jew and
Negro batting imperialist bandits.

Questions and answers

We publish today the third of
several letters with accompany
ing answer in connection with
the discussion in this department
on Oct. IS on the question of
what is the correct attitude for
the working class on intermar-
riage between Negroes and whites.
We are printing only those
letters taking exception to the
position of the revolutionary
vanguard on this fundamental
question.
Editor, Daily Worker:
In reference to Thursdays Daily"
(Oct. 18th) I would like to contest
the answer given to the question on
white chauvinism." You state in
part-"Would you want your sister
to marry niger" is one OF the
stock challenges of the lynch rulers
to white workers fighting for Negro
rights. How does Communist an
swer this question? Bill Dunno,
speaking in the South several years
ago, was confronted with this
poser" by a chauvinist in the au-
dience. The revolutionary leader
quickly retorted that he would
sooner have his sister marry a mill
tant, fighting Negro determined to
secure equality, than any yellow
bellied white chauvinist," etc.
Isn't this a white chauvinist an
swer? In other words, Bill Dunno
said, I'm case the Negro was not
militant, fighting worker, I would
prefer my sister marrying the yell
low-bellied white chauvinist." To
expand Comrade DUNES answer, he
would rather have his sister marry
any white man. good or bad" in
preference to any Negro except
militant, fighting Negro, or if the
white worker was eithe-: militant
and fighting, or even a plain work
er, he would be preferred to any
Negro, even militant, fighting
Negro.
