SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 10.
Following is the text of the
speech of James P. Dallas of the
Seattle Cereal Workers Local
1oI69:
When 7 left Seattle there was
a labor struggle in progress. II
was receiving the headline atten-
ton Of all the newspapers. Anti
labor employers in that vicinity
were following it closely. Groups
OF working men were being beaten
up, taken for ride, their homes
raided and in one case bombed
You ask who was the dastardlv
employer doing all this, and I say
there was none The Teamsters
and Brewers were locked in fratr.-
cidal combat while the EMPLOYERS
looked gleefully on. I am talking
about my own home city, Seattle,
where I have lived for twenty
years.
Many of the brothers engaged
IN this disgraceful business are nv
personal friends and acquaintance,
When I asked as to the cause of
this trouble was invariably an
sWered something like this: The
teamster boss, Dave Beck, ganged
up on the Brewery Workers and
threw them out of the breweries,
Now some of the Brewery Work
ers have a contract with one of
the breweries and are fighting
back, using some of Beck's own
methods on him. Why don't you
stop it? Dent you know that this
is running organized labor in the
Northwest? Stop it-ha, ha. You
can't do that. If one of us got
up and citicized Beck or his poll
cieS in meeting, we would be
Knocked down before we got
i started
For Trade Union Democracy
Such is the low state to which
trade union democracy has sunk in
the Northwest. The rank and file
OF the Transfers and Brewers dc
not want to fight each other. They
nave enough to do with their en-
ployerS, but they have little to say
about the matter, and so this
shameful business goes on, to the
detriment of all organized labor in
the Northwest.
What is happening in Seattle
is going on all over the country
Seattle has few gangsters compared
to the larger industrial centers, and
this is only a minor case. compared
to the big time rackets you all
know about. There is only one
cure for such onditions-greatel
democracy within the trade unions
The question being brought ur
here for the executive council i,
e matter of whether labor is tt
have the right to organize in the
group it wishes to. 1 believe that
is right. I believe that as a mem.
Der OF the rank and file union, the
Brewers should be consistent il
this matter, but want to poin
out further that this is no curt
for this struggle; it is only tn,
beginning, and not until the trade.
unions are returned to their mem.
bers, not until we have rank anc
file democracy throughout tn,
trade-union movement, will thi
matter be settled"

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Oct. 10
Walter Citri11e, a leading member
Of the British General Council Of
Trade Unions, as predicted, has
been imported by A. F. of l.. Off
cisldom in an attempt to give an
international character and more
Of a moral justification for their
anti Communist position and acts,
as his speech yesterday morning to
the convention clearly showed.
Free trade unions cannot exist
under any dictatorship" said Cit
rine in his opening remarks, and
the trade union movement is
against all relationships - black,
brown and red. All relationships
must be crushed" he continued.
In regard to the German situa-
ton, Citrine said that the Interna-
tional Federation OF Trade Unions
could not tell the German move
ment what to do, but that before
Feb. q, that is, before the fascist
suppression drive Of Hitler, the
German trade unions had decided
to take all available measures
against fascism.
The Reichstag fire, he said, pre-
vented these measures being taken.
In connection with the RESPONSE
bility for the Reichstag fire, Cit
rine could not bring himself to
make a categorical statement, al
though the International Inquiry
Commission, holding hearings in
his own country, has established
the major facts. Citrine said that
the Reichstsg was probably set
af1re by fascists.
Delegates Cool to Citrine
The body of delegates appeared
to be taking his anti-red diatribes
and his anti-Soviet Union insinua-
tons rather coolly.
Following Citrine, President
Green made only formal remarks
conveying greetings of the conven-
ton to the British Trades Union
Congress. B. Charney Vladeck Of the
Jewish Forward Association greet
ed the convention, taking the op-
portunity to Islander the Soviet
Union by saying that the German.
Austrian, and Russian workers were
all suffering in the torture chains
OF tyranny and fascisrn. His re-
marks appeared to make little i'm
preston, half the delegates walking
out before he concluded.
Nothing like an official or even
verbal action has as yet been taken
by this convention that gives en-
dorsemsnt to President Green's re-
cent letter to the affiliated unions
calling for the expulsion of Com
munists.

School Buildings, Congress
And Fine Arts Commission.
Executive Avenue Gate Posts
Regarded as Traffic Menace.

CIVIC workers particularly in
terested in new school build
ings are inclined to smile at
a lecture just read by Chairman
Moore Of the Fine Arts Commis-
sion to Supt. Of Schools Bal
lou. AS they see it, DR.. Moore
has gone after the wrong party
when he goes after the school
officials for the use Of old plans
in the erection Of school buildings
on sites not at all suited TO such
plans. Neither school officials,
municipal architect, nor Commis-
SiOners are really to blame, for it
has been the insistence of the
House Appropriations Subcommit-
tee that the same plans should be
used uniformly. In many Of the
hearings on the estimates for new
school buildings there have been an
insistence on adhering to plans
already used for other buildings.
The citizens generally are with
the Fine Arts Commission in its
desire to give the District the most
attractive school buildings to be
found anywhere, even including
cupolas and other so-called doo-
dads. There is also a feeling that
school officials and usually the
District government are Just as
anxious to turn out buildings of
credit to the National Capital. but
these high ideals are often shat
tered by a hort-sighted congress
sional policy of alleged economy.
A number of the neighborhood
groups indicate they will go be-
fore the Commissioners at their
hearings in the Fall and urge in
clusion of several new building
projects. 1t is also indicated that
they will urge that the plans for
new buildings represent real prog
ress in the building art and adapt
ability to the particular site rather
than to the mere saving Of q few
dollars through the use Of misfit
plans

ARMY PROMOTION
STUDY TOBE MADE
|. BY GEN. M ARTHUR.
Plan to Be Completed in
Time for Submission 10
Next Congress.

A solution may be in the making
for correcting the perplexing Army
promotion situation.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur, chief of
staff, has been requested to make
study during the next few months
SO as to have some legislation ready
for submission to Congress at the be-
ginning OF the Seventy Con-
gress in January. Gen. MacArthurs
tour Of duty as chief of staff of the
Army terminates November 81 and in
the solution of the Army promotion
| situation it Is desired to have the ben
eft of his experience. The request
will be complied with and a plan will
be submitted in the near future for
consideration during the recess of
Congress, SO those of the military
committees who return as members
OF the Seventy-fourth Congress will
be in a position to take up the sub
| ject of Army promotion at the be-
| ginning Of the first session OF that
Congress.
1t is understood a tentative promo
! ton bill has been prepared in the
general staff which contains provision
for selection for retirement to the
| extent necessary to permit approx
| mately $50 officers being appointed in
the Army each year, but this is not
| at present satisfactory TO War De-
partment officials. 1t is being studied
| and it is expected a decision will be
reached in the next few months.
Opposition Gives Reasons.
War Department opposition to re-
tirement for age-in-grade is the ef-
feet 1t would have on Congress in the
abnormal increase in the cost of the
retired list. Should this method of
retirement be placed on the statute
books, it is estimated about $500
officers who entered the commissioned
ranks Of the Army on June 4. 1920.
N the various grades, and within a
certain age, would be eligible for re-
tirement Immediately. This would
mean nearly 25 per cent of the officer
personnel of the Army would be re-
tired Immediately. The view has been
expressed that selection for promo
ton. with age-in-grade retirement,
would cause such a large increase in
the cost of the retired list as to make
it prohibitive and very likely Would
mean a congressional investigation of
the retirement of large numbers Of
able bodied officers.
