Harry Bridges, leader of | this union, has been convicted of being a Communist. Some people are inclined to let the “legal machin- ery” against Communist unions take its course. The trouble is that by the time the long-drawn red-tape process is utilized the damage is done, the very thing the Reds are seeking to accomplish. Therefore, it is up to people to act now and not wait until our summer’s fishing is paralyzed. It should be stated that not the business men alone denounced left wing union disruptive tactics, but the majority of union men also.

Too many are afraid that expres- sions against a Red-dominated union might be taken lto mean that they are against all unions and will be immediately classified as anti-labor. We believe that people recognize the ilk for what they are, who scream anti-labor against anyone who dares to criticize a union for its abuse of its power or for left-wing leadership.
