> COLD WINDS T0 \ | Thursday, October 2, 1924 THE DAILY WORKER CROWDS BRAVE ~ HEAR SPEAKERS Minor and Maarer Talk on Northwest Side Workers stood in large num- bers, ignoring the biting cold weather Tuesday evening, and listened to orkers Party speakers explain the class et from their open air platforms. At W. Division ‘and N. Wash- tenaw Sts., “Bob” Minor ex- plained to an interested crowd of workers the development of the capitalist class in this country, the changes brot in America’s social and economic structure by the Civil War, and the part the Negroes have played im this development. Two Opposing Slaveries. Minor showed how the civil war was in reality a fight between the feudal- istic chattel slave system of the south and the system of industrial wage slavery that had developed in the north. He showed how the freeing of the slaves was merely a step taken by the north to break the economic power of the south. Minor then re lated the rapid progress of the indus- trial wage slave system after the civil war and described the present condi- tions among the Negroes. George Maurer spoke at this meet- ing, explaining why John Davis and Cal Coolidge, democratic and repub- lican candidates for president, are prattling so much about “preseryation of the constitution.” “Davis and Collidge are anxious to preserve for the capitalist class the autocratic powers of the supreme court,” Maurer declared. Maurer Hits Supreme Court. “They are anxious to prevent the gaining of more power by congress.” He described how the supreme court is continually being used against the workers in the interests of the large exploiting industrial institutions.

CARPENTERS END (Continued from Page 1.) of Labor, and as a member of the Ex- ecutive Council, I object to the name that the American Federation of La- bor has given its bureau, because it will confuse our members so that they will not know which is which. The one that is being promoted by Foster is known as the Trade Union Educational League, and if a member did not know the difference he would rathér take the Trade Union Educa- tional League, because naturally that is a catchy phrase. “The Trade Union Educational League, you know, stands for the One Big Union and the Industrial Workers of the World, it stands for doing away with the industrial organ- izations. . . .” Amendment Lost. Duffy finally ended his crazy twad- dle with hoping that the American Federation of Labor would change the name of its education stripling so that anything suspiciously suggestive of education might not lead the carpen- ters to imbibe Communist propagan- da, trade union solidarity, industrial unionism thru amalgamation or any other of the progressive measures which the reactionaries hate like poi- son. After the Duffy .tirade the amend- ment went down to defeat. The left wing opposition in the con- vention was led by delegate Morris Rosen of New York, candidate for general president against Hutcheson. Rosen introduced several resolutions which were ably supported by several delegates but which went down be- fore the well-oiled and well-paid ma- chine. A resolution condemning mayor Hylan of New York for forcing car- penters to work under unfair condi- tions was voted down after delegate Halkett, the Hutcheson henchman, and Brindell successor, declared that passage of the resolution might arouse the anger of mayor Hylan. The New York carpenters should be allowed to settle their own problems, he said. The resolution was lost and Hylan’s equanimity was not endangered. For Job Control. A resolution introduced by delegate Rosen calling for job control was non- concurred in by the committee on the ground that it would create a revolu- tion. Delegate Hackett declared con- ditions in New York were good and called. another delegate as a witness. This delegate responded by charging delegate Rosen with being a publicity hunter because he was running ior general president. A resolution calling for a five-day week was carried, even Duffy speak- ing for it. This was evidently a sop to the delegates in order to stem the rising tide of discontent. Delegate Rosen introduced a resolu- tion calling for the election of the rules committee by the convention. The machine opposed this on the grounds that the delegates may elect members to the committee who could not make rules, therefore their selec- tion should be left in the hands of the president. An amendment requiring that ap- plicants for membership in the car- penters’ union should show proof that they had applied for their first citizen- ship papers was opposed by delegate Rosen on the ground that it would keep out of the brotherhood a large Morris, Gordon, 178 Moore St., Brook- lyn, N. ¥.

The suspension of delegate Bur- gess of Philadelphia from the union by President Hutcheson, because the former’s name appeared on the sta- tionary of the Labor Defense Council in Philadelphia, was sustained by the convention, Hutcheson ordered Bur- gess to withdraw his name from the Defense Council, and on Burgess re- fusing to do so on the ground that he had a perfect right to lend his name to a worthy cause, he was immediate- }ly suspended. The action of Hutche- son and his payrollers at the conven- which was increased when delegate Mul- cahy, previously beaten up by the Hutcheson thugs, rose to speak for his appeal against the Old Age Home, and in favor of pensions only.

At this stage the convention was in an uproar. Dlegates rose in great numbers shouting: “Let us go home .}| so that Czar Hutcheson can rule the empty chairs,” and “we were sent here from our locals to support Hutcheson, but now we are going back to tell them what fools they are.” The rank and file of the carpenters’ union have the opportunity in the elec- tion for general president to replace the autocratic and reactionary capi- talist tool, W. L. Hutcheson, with a a progressive, Morris Rosen, Hutche- son’s opponent, for the position. Rosen stands for every. issue that means progress in the carpenters’ union and in the entire labor movement. He is for amalgamation, independent work- ing class political action, recognition of Soviet Russia and for the united front of the workers against the capi- talist class, Hutcheson stands for the opposite. No more confirmed enemy of labor exists among the grand dukes of the American Federation of Labor. It is up to the rank and file of the car- penters who feel the weight of Hutche- son’s reactionary policy to organize the progressive forces inside their or- ganization for the overthrow of th reactionary Hutcheson and his ma- chine. PHILADELPHIA TO SHOW RED ARMY PICTURE (Special to The DAILY WORKER.) néw feature comedy film, “The Beauty and the Bolshevik,” which is to be shown at Lulu Temple, Broad and Spring streets, Saturday, October 4, has been made with the co-operation of the Red Army Brigade. @he film is a romance between the commander of the brigade and the daughter of a rich farmer of the village in which the red army settles after four years of severe warfare, The activities of the red army in the village are the background for this romance and stirring scenes of the army in action, fighting the white guards or helping the villege poor, provide many thrills in a picture that holds the interest of the audience from the very first moment to the last. A review of the picture in the labor press has declared it to be a view of the revolution in miniature, In_addition to “The Beauty and the Bolshevik,” a new graphic picture of Russia's industrial development, “Rus- sia in Overalls” will be shown. A spe- cial musical program has been ar- ranged for. There will be two per- formances beginning at 6:30 and 8:30 p. m. Admission is 50 cents. This showing is under the auspices of the Committee for International Workers’ Aid. Yount Workers’ Soccer Team to Play Game Sunday By AL SCHAAP.
