i 5 ; i ound Page Four THE DAILY WORKER TRADE UNION EL CARPENTERS OF DETROIT SIT ON EXPULSION PLAN Repudiate Hutcheson Act in Two Locals DETROIT Mich.—The reactionary machine in local 19 of the Carpenters} Brotherhood was forced to resort to} Hutcheson’s tactics to protect Hut-| cheson’s stupidities from the protest} of the rank and file. A resolution repudiating the expulsion of Wil- Mam Reynolds by the general ex- ecutive board and demanding a trial before his local union, in accordance with the constitution, was presented and amended to the effect that the repudiation be changed to protest. After an appeal from the arbitrary ruling of the reactionary president on a motion for the previous question had been sustained by a vote of 24 to 9, the amendment was lost by a three to one vote and “repudiate” was con- tinued in the resolution. This is signi- ficant of the attitude of the rank and file members of the carpenters in De- troit towards the arbitrary and un- scrupulous expulsion of Brother Rey- nolds. Autocracy Brings Big Protest When the amendment to substitute “protest” for “repudiate” was lost, President Ball acting for the machine under the instructions of Stoolpigeon Botterill, general organizer, repres- entative of the G. E. B. in Detroit, re-! fused to put the resolution to a vote. A motion to recall Bali as president was then made, which he refused to recognize. Charges were made in writing against Ball for his refusal to carry out the will of the body, ewhich he also refused to recognize. The meeting then broke up in confusion without adjournment at 11:30, with the whole meeting in protest. When in the early part of the meet- ing, Botterill objected to Reynolds’ presence, the meeting gave itself over to a wholesome expression of con- tempt for the general executive board and its agents, and indignation at its tyrannical action. Men who have car- ried cards in the Brotherhood for 30 years expressed a determination, to stand by Brother Reynolds in his fight against expulsion, even if expelled themselves if that was where a fight for principle must lead to. Botterill was hooted and jeered, and the opinion was expressed and ap- plauded that if the constitution meant no guarantee of rights to the rank and file, then the charter, which was only the symbol of the constitution, also meant nothing, and the threat to lift it was an empty one. The meeting was a forceful expression of discontent which has been gathering for years, and which now has found an outlet. Botterill’s Private Fink At the same time, local union 1191 was dealing with a spy whom Botter- ill has had acting for him in that organization, to get knowledge of the actions and intentions of the local union and to ascertain the radical affiliations of the members. Local union 1191 has long since earned the hatred of Hutcheson and the pay roll gang, by outspoken critic- ism of these grafters and also by cast- ing a vote of 118 for Rosen for presi- dent as against 2 for Hutcheson. Hut- cheson demanded the books of the local union some five weeks ago, and according to the officials of the local union, they have them as they dis- appeared while three payrollers were present in the union and have not since been located. Local 1191 also repudiate Expulsion The same resolution which was in- troducd at Local Union 19 carried un- animously at 1911, the two Hutcheson flunkeys who spoke against it not dar- ing to vote against it. The parasites of the general office are awakening to the fact that the expul- sion of Reynolds has roused the whole rank and file of Detroit, and before they are through they will either have WESTERN DISTRICT KANSAS MINERS COUNTED OUT IN DISTRICT VOTING Hold Protest Meeting and Rake Lewis The fight of the militant progressive miners of Kansas is well known to the league members. The efforts made by John L. Lewis to destroy the min- ers’ organization in that district has been persistent but futile. Alex Howat rejoined the Miners’ Union shortly after the last convention, held in In- dianapolis, when he saw that Lewis was determined to destroy the organi- zation rather than allow him a fair trial. In the election of Dist. 14, the pro- gressive candidates had the support of 90 per cent of the rank and file, with the Lewis henchmen ir. control of the union machinery, With an honest election the reactionaries would have been cleaned out of office. They stood no chance of even being rominated. So they used the usual brutal Lewis tactics and removed nearly fifty candidates from the bal- lot, and declared themselves elected because there was no opposition. On election day most of the miners stayed at home. As their district can- lidates had been removed, there was some confusion. Some thought that if they recognized the election by vot- ing, that they would not then be able to contest the election. Nevertheless, out of those who did vote fully 90 per ent wrote in the names of their pro- sressive candidates. These, of course, were not counted. The report sent in by the progressive miners on the votes cast for national left-wing slate in nine locals, shows tne following results: Lewis, 103, Voyzey, 948, Murray 95, Staples 939, Green 114, Nearing 918. Immediately following the election, the miners held a rank and file con- ference on Jan. 4th. At this meeting there were delegates from 71 local unions representing 80 per cent of the membership of the district. They un- animously adopted a resolution de- manding a special district convention. The resolution is rather long, but the following are a few of the most {m- portant points: “AND WHERDAS, our district constitution in District 14 provides that anyone who has been a mem- ber of our union for six months continuously previous to the month in which the election is held shall be eligible to be a candidate and to hold district office; “AND WHERBAS, the Interna- tional constitution makes no quali- fications in any way as to who is eligible to hold a district office as that is a matter that has always been, and is at the present time de- cided by the various district organ- izations; “AND WHEREAS, in the present election held in District 14, the -offi- cials of our district refused to place on the official ballot the names of about fifty of our members who were candidates for differgnt official positions, all of whom were mem- bers of our union and eligible to hold district office in accordance with the provisions of our district constitution; “AND WHEREAS, the officials of this district know that not one of them would have even the remotest chance of being elected had they placed the names of those on the ballot who were nominated and were candidates for office; “AND WHEREAS, this __out- rageous action on the part of the officials of District 14 is a malicious and deliberate violation of our dis- trict constitution and has created turmol and dissension throughout the entire district; “AND WHEREAS as a result of the high-handed manner in which the executive board of this district has violated and outraged our mem- bership, the mine workers of this district have demanded a special convention to be called at once; “AND WHEREAS, our district constitution provides when twenty local unions demand a special dis- trict convention, the executive board is compelléd to call such convention without delay; “THEREFORE BE IT RESOLV- ED, that the members of Local Un- ion No....... appeal to the inter- national executive board to compel the officials of this district to give SHOE WORKERS DRAW FIGHTING | PLAN IN EAST Amalgamation Demand| ‘ * Against Fake Union By JOSEPH MANLEY (Special to The Daily Worker) * Lynn, Mass., with its thousands of shoe workers, will shortly be the scene of a bitter struggle between these workers on the one hand and their em- ployers who want to cut their wages 20 per cent on the other. It appears at this moment as if the Boot and Shoe Workers (A. F. of L.) will get into the fight on the side of the shoe manufacturers. A big movement is on foot backed by the employers, to exploit the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union to their own benefit and to the detriment of the workers. It has reached its highest point in the city of Lynn. Here there are several large local unions of shoe workers members of the Amalgamated Shoe Workers’ Union. This was the organization which grew out of one of the many attempts to amalgamate the various independent unions in the shoe industry. Capitalist Press Boosts Fake Union In Lynn the agreement of this un- ion with the employers expires on April 30th. The newspapers of Lynn are flooded with propaganda in favor of the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union. The propaganda is so extensive that even the churches have taken up the cry. Agents of the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union are working in the locals of the Amalgamated Shoe Workers creating sentiment favorable to the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Un- ion. The purpose of all of this is to create a stituation whereby the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union can come in- to Lynn at the expiration of the Amal- gamated agreement, make an agree- ment with the Lynn bosses selling them the “union label” and enslay- ing the Lynn Shoe Workers. To cope with this situation and the lack of unity, the threat of wage cuts and unemployment in the industry, a conference was called by the T. U. E. L. in Boston. At this conference mili- tant shoe workers from tke various New England shoe centers were re- presented, and in addition two dele- justice to our membership, and to | gates from New York participated. force them to comply. with our dis-, trict constitution.” BRIDGEPORT AMALGAMATED CLOTHING WORKERS HAVE SOME CLASS COLLABORATION | BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Jan. 26—The members of the Bridgeport local of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers were recently treated to a sample of boss unionism. The union agent acted as the agent of the bosses in pushing a reduction down the throats of the protesting rank and file. About four weeks ago, as the slaves of Wolf and Abrams came to work, they saw a huge sign on the building, “This Loft to Let.” agent happened on the scene, and told the workers that he would see about it. After his interview with the bosses, he said that the firm could not continue their business, unless the workers submitted to a cut'in wages. A membership meeting was called, and Business Agent Sam Lavitt urged the workers to accept the cut. After a botter debate the membership was solidly opposed to any reduction. Lavitt threatened that if no reduction was allowed the bosses would move their business to another city. The members replied: “Let them move.” Higher Officials Called In. Another meeting of the union was called, with a representative present from the general executive board of the Amalgamated. Lavitt insisted once more on acceptance of a reduc- tion. He offered the bosses terms, a reduction of $1 a week on wages up to $15—and $2 on $15 up. The mem- bership voted down the proposal. to reinstate Reynolds or expel the whole district. The revolt has just be- gun. Washington Hits A week later, a new proposition was brot in by Lavitt, who claimed credit for it. He proposed a cut of $1 on wages up to $30, and $2 above it.

California Section Fights B. & O. Plan The California Metal Trades section of the T. U. E. L. arrying on an active campaign against the Johnston and Hannon “progressive” machine.

From reports of militant shoe workers from Lynn, it was plain to be seen that the-rank and file of the Lynn shoe workers were bitterly opposed to the Boot and Shoe Work- ers’ Union. Its methods, as practiced in other New England cities, were well known to them. They are fa- miliar with the infamous proposition of the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union namely, local “0”, This zero organ- ization is a scheme of the officials of the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union to prevent free expression of the rank and fie. It means that no local union as such functions. In several centers the Boot and Shoe Workers! National Union has an agreement with the employers permit- ting tliem the use of the “union label,” in return for which the employers allow the agents of the Boot and Shoe the Workers’ Union to visit the plant and collect 25 cents weekly from the workers. By this method the workers are made members of the “union”. This arrangement functions 100 per cent to the benefit of the employers and the bureauerats at the head of the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union. Other 8 ses, almost beyond belief, were re- ed to the conference. Wide Sentiment for Amalgamation It was generally agreed that a strong sentiment for amalgamation ex- ists in the industry, and no cor fidence in anything but in the militants and the program of the T. U. BE. L. was expressed, Tt was decided to call a large and fully representative conference in the near future, It was the unanimous opinion of all those present, that the time has arrived for the militants to take virtual charge of the amalgama- tion sentiment, the struggle for unity and the fight against the employers in the shoe industry. To this end the following program was adopted; Organizational Proposals 1, Raise glogan of one union in shoe and leather industry thru amal- samation of existing organizations. To this end the following measures are proposed, , a. A strong movement to consolid- ate independent unions in amalgama- tion convention to be called as soon as possible, b. A move to amalgamate the inde- pendent unions with the B. & S. on the basis of the following demands, which will the B. & S, from a company a trade union: Abolition of local “0” and restora- tion of right of minorities to express opinions, Use of B. & §, label to be govern cd by local coune!ls and to be given only to elosed shops.

W. W., in its issue of Jan. 1, contains an excellent editorial en-, . titled, “Get Set for the International Conference.” It says, in part: “Is it not possible to bring our fore- es together and form a real Interna- tional of marine transport workers, one that understands there are today but two nations so far as the workers are concerned? The one composed of workers, and the other of their de spoilers, those who own the means whereby we live. “Effort should be made the coming year to call a conference of all marin« transport unions and draft a program which will be acceptable to all. The Marine Transport Workers I. U. 610, of the I. W, W. extends the hand of fellowship to all workers regardless of race, creed or color, in asking you to consider with us, plans whereby we can unite our forces into a great Inter. national Marine Transport Workers’ Industrial Union.” This is expressing precisely the aims sought by the transport work. ers now affiliated to the Red Interna- tional of Labor Unions, and it is an- nounced by the Red International Af- filiatioa Committee of the revolution. ary transport workers, thru their In- ternational Propaganda Committee, have for some months intended calling & world conference of transport work. ers to meet in Berlin during February. The sentiment and crying need for internationalism in action, for unity of all those transport workers who recognize the class struggle, is well ex- pressed in the editorial mentioned in the Marine Worker. But sentiment is not enough. It must be crystallized in action or the workers will scoff at our continued advocacy of international. organization. There can be no disagreement be- tween the revolutionary transport workers now in the R. I. L. U. and those in the M. T. W. 510 over the main line of the class struggle.

ARE RADICALS ILLITERATE? AN ANSWER NEEDED! Write Up the Fights of All Workers It is claimed by the capitalists that all “radicals,” “revolutionists,” “agita- tors” and “left wingers” are ignorant boobs—in fact that they are “illiter- ate, hardly any of them being able to read and write.” We are not so sure of this, But the question arises, when we see news in the capitalist press of union elections, united front fights in unions, strikes going on here and there, and various labor conditions written up by capi- talist henehmen while not a, worker in the places where these things hap- pen writes in one line about them to the DAILY WORKER—the question arises, we repeat, are the capitalists right about this illiterate business? Every day in every city, in every in- dustrial region, things happen which the rest of the world ought to know about. Or else he thinks that every- body knows because he does. But the facts are that a big part of vital news of the labor world gets lost. Even the DAILY WORKER can’t get it, because nobody on or near the spot thinks about sending it in.
