Old Law Used 10 Fire
State Teachers Head

TRENTON, N. J.-(FP)-Invoking
an old law against corporal punish
ment for the first time since its
enactment in 1867, the Trenton board
of education has fired Herbert H.
Cole, president of the New Jersey
State Federation of Teachers (AFL)
and for seven years a teacher in the
local schools.
Charges were preferred by School
Supt. Paul Loser, who has fought
organization of the teachers union
in recent years and has fostered a
company union known as the Tren-
ton Teachers Assn.
At the hearing Cole said that he
had tapped a 15-year-old pupil
Harry Schultz, on the shoulder with
ruler when the youngster started
commotion in the classroom.
Schultz rose as if to strike him, the
teacher said, whereupon he slapped
the boys face.
Coles lawyers argued that the
incident was "a correctional mea-
sure" rather than corporal punish
ment within the meaning of the
statute. But the board unanimously
voted to dismiss the teacher, who
has five children of his own in the
Trenton schools
First step in fighting the decision
will be an appeal to DR.. Charles H.
Elliott, state commissioner of educa-
ton. Strong support has been given
Cole by the Natl. Academic Freedom
Committee of the American Fedora
tion of Teachers (AFL), of which
Arnold Shukatoff is chairman.
The committee pointed out in its
last annual report that factors in
the case are Coles initiative in
unionizing teachers his suit to com
pei the Trenton board to restore
salary cuts made in 1886, and his
activity in urging teachers to refuse
to sign waivers for their back salary
as requested by the board.
Corporal punishment is said to be
by no means rare in New Jersey
schools despite the musty law Of
1867 prohibiting it. The Trenton
school board refused to let Cole
testify on his views on corporal
punishment, or to hear character
witnesses. The board also refused
to let the record show Coles unior
position.
The boys father, a Trenton tin.
smith, voluntarily wrote to the schoo
board asking that the charges bt
dropped. Later he was persuaded
by an officer Of the Veterans o.
Foreign Wars to withdraw his letter
Cole is a former secretary -treasur.
er of Cooperative Distributors. He
has been active in the New Jersey
branches of Labor's Non-Partisar
League and the American Civi
Liberties Union.

launched to convict the Wobblies
and break the union. His instru-
ment was the Loyal Legion of Wash
ington, which whipped up bloodlust
among women's clubs and church
groups.
Two lumber company lawyers
were hired to aid the local district
attorney. Troops were brought in
to intimidate the townsfolk. Defense
witnesses were bulldozed, threat
ened, even arrested.
The prosecutions story was that
the paraders were standing peace
fully before the hall when they were
fired on without warning. One of
the veterans, DR.. Frank Bickford,
had testified at the coroner's in
quest that the paraders had rushed
the door before the shooting started.
An Associated Press man who wired
this testimony from Centralia was
run out of town.
Judge John M. Wilson excluded
all testimony to show that the raid
on the hall had been planned. Even
so, the prosecutions case was so
weak that the jurors voted to acquit
on an informal first ballot. Then,
in an effort to pacify the local
patriots, they acquitted two men,
found one insane and declared the
other seven guilty of second degree
murder, but recommended leniency.
Ignoring the jury's request for
mercy, Wilson gave the maximum
sentence.

Ray Becker. Last
(eniraIia vitiim,
Free After Year!

WALLA WALLA, Wash.-(FP)-I
Ray Becker, victim of the 1919
Centralia frameup, high spot of the
anti-labor wave which swept the
country after the last world war,
has been freed after 19 years in
prison. His sentence of from rs to
40 years on second degree murder
charges was commuted by Gov.
Clarence D. Martin.
Like Tom Mooney, Becker had
refused a parole. Six others con-
victed in the same case on similar
charges previously accepted the
parole.
Becker and the others were con-
victed following an Armistice Day
attack on the hall of the Industrial
Workers of the World in Centralia
by parading war veterans. Four of
the attackers were killed.
The Centralia tragedy was the
handiwork of the lumber trust in
the Pacific northwest. Exploited
for years, the loggers and other lum-
Der workers had organized into the
l. w. w. Despite kidnapings, beat
ings and tar-and-featherings, they
held their union ranks and won
strike in 1917.
Centralia was one of the two
Washington cities with an l. w. w.
hall. The union headquarters, 10
Gated in a hotel outside of the main
business district, was red flag to
F. B. Hubbard, president of the En-
ployers Assn. of Washington and
bigshot in timber, coal and railroads.
During a Red Cross parade in 1918
another I. w. w. hall had been raid
ed and reduced almost to kindling
wood. But the Wobblies had come
back, and Hubbard decided that they
had to be smashed for all time.
Upon short notice an Armistice
Day parade was arranged in 1919.
It was well known that new at
tack on the l. w. w. was the pur-
pose. A local AFL officer tried to
dissuade the American Legion men
who were being used as Hubbard's
stooges, but he was rebuffed.
The parade route was planned SO
as to pass the l. w. w. hall twice
When the Centralia legionnaires got
abreast of the hall, they broke ranks
and rushed the building. AS they
battered through the door fusillade
rang out. Lieut.. Warren o. Grim,
who had assumed command of the
legion post only five days earlier,
was mortally wounded. Three other
paraders, inclu ling Hubbard's
nephew, were killed in the fighting.
Ray Becker was one of the de-
tenders. A young logger of 20 who
had once studied to be preacher,
he held off the mob with an Ivor
Johnson until his last cartridge was
spent. Then he surrendered to
officers.
Wesley Everest, another defender,
was chased to the edge of the river
after shooting his way through the
Gordon of attackers. Standing in
the water he fired his last shot
Mauled and bleeding, he was carried
half-dead to the Jail, daring his
captors to lynch him in the day
time.
A mob broke in that night. Ever
est, himself a war veteran, was
taken from the Jail to car. On the
way to the Chehalis river bridge a
local businessman emasculated him
with a razor. At the bridge a rope
was thrown around his neck and he
was tossed over.
Not quite dead, he was hauled up
and longer rope was attached
Finally, after his swinging body had
been riddled by gunfire, the rope
was cut and the body fell into the
river. No attempt to prosecute the
llynchers was ever made

news OF THE SILVER
BOW TRADES COUNCIL

Senator Murray notified the Sill
yer Bow Trades and Labor Council
that he would assist in having James
Combo reinstated to a position of
the Works Progress Administration.
The letter was in answer to one that
had been sent to Mr.. Murray notify
ing him that the Central Labor body
had gone on record favoring Mr..
Combo.
A letter was received from Mr..
Jewell, secretary to Governor Ayers,
stating that when the Board of Edu-
cation met the labor unions would
be notified. The communication was
rather vague because it did not state
when the board would hold a meet
ing. The Trades and Labor Council,
in its letter to the Governor asked
that the Board of Education hold an
open meeting to discuss the dis
charge of a number of professors
at the University The unions feel
that the Board of Education should
hold an open meeting SO that the
professors who have been dis
charged, and the public and other
interested persons, could present
testimony. 1t was apparent from the
letter that no action will be taken
in the immediate future.
At a meeting in Helena Sept. %,
35 members signed petition de-
manding that Governor Ayers, At
torney General Freebourn, and Mr..
Brandjord and other members Of
the State Welfare Commission ap-
pear and answer concerning the con-
duct of the relief administration in
Montana. The meeting to be held
by the committee of 35 in Helena
on October may probably be post
poned from that date until date
can be fixed upon which the Gov
ernor and other state officers may
be ordered to be present. The rea-
son for this difficulty is that while
notice of the meeting was served
upon the Governor, the attorney gen
eral, the State Board of Public We'll
fare, no response has been made by
them that they will be present. The
only response came from Sam W.
Mitchell, secretary of state. 1t will
be necessary, nevertheless, for the
committee to be in Helena on Octo-
Der 6 at 10 o'clock in the morning
at the Capitol building, in case the
public officers whose presence was
requested should be there. If these
men do not appear relief will be
sought from the court to compel
their attendance. Charlie Whitley
will represent the Trades and Labor
Council at the meeting.
A communication was received
from the Montana Federation OF
Labor describing the deplorable sit
uation at the University of Montana,
caused by the discharge of five pro-
fessors by the State Board Of Educa-
ton. The subject is much more full
covered in another article.
A little tilt by the Blacksmiths
and Machinists occurred over some
shops. The whole subject was re-
ferred to the grievance committee
An echo of a former complaint
against Barclay Craighead charging
political activities in his office. was
filed. The charges against Mr.
Craighead were not sustained by

Board.
