IS THE T.U.E.L, A DUAL UNION? A HOT ANSWER ‘Article One of a Reply to Duffy By J. W. JOHNSTONE The expulsion of William Reynolds of Detroit, Niels Kjar and his four colleagues of Chicago, F. W. Burgess of Philadelphia, and P. Z. McClure and 15 others of Los Angeles, has deeply stirred the rank and file of the Carpenters’ Un‘on truout the en- tire country. Hundreds of local un- ions have demanded that the expell- ed members be reinstated and that Hutcheson be compelled to abide by the constitution. Secretary Duffey, Hutcheson’s hand- maid, has issued a stereotyped reply trying to explain to all the local unions and district councils, that have demanded further information as to why these expulsions have taken Place, The Old, Old Stuff Duffey, in his usual crude way, tries to justify the expulsion of Reynolds by accusing him of belonging to a dual unfon. In part Duffey says, “When the members openly and above-board admit they hold member- ship in the.I. W. W., the One Big Union, the Trade Union Educational League, or similar bodies antagonistic to the United Brotherhood, the gener- al executive board has no other alter- native than enforce the law and deci- sion of our convention. “At the last meeting of the general executive board held in Indianapolis, Jan. 25, evidence was submitted to that body showing that William Rey- nolds, a member of Local 2140, De- troit, Mich., is a member of the Trade Union Educational League, an organ- fwation detrimental and contrary to the interests of the United Brother- heod. The general executive board ordered said William Reynolds expel- Jed from the United Brotherhood. “In cases of this kind it is not a focal matter, It therefore becomes the duty of the general executive board to deal with it, and Section 55 does not apply.” When Hutcheson Can't See the Constitution So there you have it. The constitu- tion is all right. Section 55, which guarantees the right of trial, in his instance is out of place. Hutcheson, the carpenters’ guardian angel, thru Duffey, says so. So it must be. Just when Section 55 does apply, Duffey bs forgot to mention. So far as we are able to learn, it has never applied since Hutcheson, the lumber-jack, in- filcted himself onto the Carpenters’ Union. - According to Duffey,,information or evidence was submitted to the G. EB. B, showing Reynolds to be a member of ‘he T, U. E. L. And upon that he Was expelled without hearing or trial. Even a capitalist court will allow a defendant some semblance of a de- fense, but not so Czar Hutcheson. » Not only was Reynolds denied his constitutional right of a hearing, but Hutcheson never even gave him the opportunity to either deny or affirm his membership in the T, U. E. L. let alone consider whether the T, U. B, L. is a dual organization. In fact it is comon knowledge that the’ deci- sion was made by Hutcheson to ex- pel Reynolds and a number of others thruout the country long before the last convention took place, and the G. E. B. did not wait five minutes on the matter. If the T. U. E. L, was dual to the Carpenters’ Union there would be no need to violate Section 55 of the constitution. The carpenters of De- troit would be a unit in expelling Reynolds or anyone else connected with the T. U. E. L, if this was the case, But what is the real situation, fo The T. U. E. L. a Union? Reynolds is president of his local union, vice president of the district council, and every local union in De- troit, and the district council, as well as hundreds of local unions thruout the country have rallied to his sup- port, Hutcheson got out an injunction to restrain Reynolds from attending his local union meetings. This injunction was violated by Reynolds, and he was charged with contempt of court, But so much mass , pressure was brought to bear upon . the court, that it was forced to @is- solve the injunction and dismiss the contempt proceedings. It is very easy to say that the T, U. , L, is a dual union but another thing to prove it. That is why Hutcheson has not the courage to come before ==: membership of Detroit and try to prove this ridiculous claim. The Difference Is Vital and Basic What is a dual unton? How does it function? Any organization to be' dual to the Carpenters’ Union must try to occupy the same field,—that is, they must collect dues, issue charters, strive for job control, enter into agreements ‘with employers, call strikes, elect business agents, presidents, secré- 1 RR ik» Rent fg NE 0 a ADR aR tt Rc OE Ne Be te tT Ra re Rt RTE an Rett i ee SE ant ie Be ATS in Sel in i RR ARE tS tl Awa et aa ha taries, organizers, carry on organizing ; campaigns, take the carpenters out of i ae , Pade RON. cng aT Sl Tie 2 tea IR ME RE RR St A SEES EES CENTRAL “RESIGN!” DEMAND Branch, Christopher, Ill. declare as follows: *- An Immediate Convention. “First: That a convention of the Illinois miners should be held at once to devise ways and means to help the suffering miners in the unemployed sections of our district, as the follow- ing facts prove the necessity. “The miners from Sessor solicited aid from the district office and were denied, because of lack of constitu- tional authority. The Sessor miners had been out over a year, and were and are in a hellish condition. “The San Doval men applied for a loan, and gave all the security they had, but it was likewise turned down, because of insufficient security. The men at San Doval are the victims of a lockout because they refused to take a reduction in wages and sur- render their contractual right to take up their case, i. e., a reduction in wages of the shot firers and exam’s, and the imposition of new and unfair conditions in violation of the contract. “These men were locked out, and have received no work or aid for over ayear. Their homes are sold or mort- gaged and starvation and sickness is prevalent thruout the town. Finally, in desperation, they appealed for aid to the district—and were denied, “These two camps are a sample of scores thruout the state. There are many members thruout the state starving, who have been members of the organization long before. Farring- ton ever knew what a union was, and ‘have paid into it more than Farring- ton ever did or ever will and have fought their union battles as MEN, and now in the hour of their) need, they are denied any aid whatever, and because of this position of FARRING- TON AND HIS BOARD, this, branch felt, and feels now, it was, and is, necessary to call a convention, even if for no other purpose than, the above. he Unemployment Councils Not Dual Unions. . “Second: We deny that unemploy- ment councils are dual unions. Far- rington, for his own reasons, may so declare them, but he doesn’t con- vince anyone outside his official oil- ers; and he can keep on so declaring, if he derives any pleasure from the declaration. “We do not feel starving miners are much worried about empty declar- ations, and as that seems to be all the starving miners are to get from the district office, they have not much to be thankful for. “What are these’ unemployment councils? What are they organized for? Who composes them? The an- swer to these questions determines their lack of dualism. The unem- ployment councils are a voluntary meeting of unemployed miners and members of the U. M, W. of A. in and around the mines. There is no char- ter to this organization of disgusted, discouraged, and outraged, unem- ployed workers. “These unemployed workers meet at intervals in divers places to dis- cuss the economic situation from every angle, particularly as it effects the miner, and they have proposed the following policy to be used tn a cam- paign to educate the public to the justice of our demands: We Fight for this Policy. “(a) Nationalization of mines. (b) Until the public is ready for same, or we are ready to force its acceptance, the six-hour day, and five-day week, to equalize employment, and give to each person his share.

They are policy bankrupt. Therefore, as leaders they are failures, and because, of their failure, the necessity has arisen to organize councils of the un- employed workers to try and ‘help ourselves. “Starve and be Damned.” “Just think ‘of starving desperate fathers being told that they are en- emies of the union for getting togeth- er with their buddies to try and do something for their semi-starved chil- dren. és “We have seen a man carried to his grave here starved, and little chil- dren go about more dead than alive because of malnutrition. This con- dition exists all over the state, and yet the state officials refuse to do any- thing about it. THEIR POLICY SEEMS TO BE: ‘STARVE AND BE DAMNED,’ “Farrington has received the con- fidence of the miners, and he has be- trayed that confidence by his recent ruling, therefore he has prostituted the high office to which he was elect- ed and in justice to the miners, their wives and little ones, whom he has betrayed and insulted, we call upon him to resign .from the presidency and keep out of the affairs of the miners’ union which he is wrecking by his dirty rulings. An Excuse that Won’t Go. “According to this latest wrecking ruling of the Himalayan expense gentry, if me, even employed, should meet at the switch at their working Places and discuss unemployment, they would be dual unionists! The Sub-District No. 5 has an educational bureau, and they talk of the cause of unemployment and its cure. They are dual unionists also! Ye gods, by what perverted process of reasoning have the mighty ones arrived at such a conclusion? They refuse because of their utter ignorance or unconcern to help us, or permit us to attempt to help ourselves. “No money to help the miners’ little children, weak from matnu- trition. Their little, white faces, sunken eyes, and fevered bod all too plainly indicate their dan- gerous condition. “But what do you care, Farring- ton? You, who are well fed, well groomed, with your big salary and fat expense account? “Farrington, your drink is the blood of these littie on “Farrington, your bread is the bodies of the miners’ families; the money to pay your salaries arid expenses are the lives of the min- ers and t families, buried In upers’ graves, and dying of starvation. “Their life-giving blood is drip- ping from you, your very soul is red with the blood of the Innocent children of the miners. “No help, indeed, for the miners who built up the treasury, but money for investigations of freak class col- laboration, power plant schemes, Down With Class Collaboration! “Yes, Farrington—class collabora- tion schemes which you hope will perpetuate yourself as a vampire on the jugular vein of innocent children, Common decency calls to high heaven that you resign from the position you have prostituted.

In other words, to be dual an organ- ization must take over all the func- tions now being carried on by the Carpenters’ Union. Hutcheson knows that the T. U. B. L. does not do this, That is why he violates the consti- tution, and under this crude and lying excuse expels those who disagree with him politically or who are trying to expose his corrupt administration, This is What the League Is.

It works amongst the organized workers to try thru propaganda and by example to replace the c col- laboration policy of the Hutchesons, Lewises, Greens et al., with the class struggle program advocated by the TU, BL. ; It works among the unorganized workers to bring them closer to and finally into the trade unions.

M. W. of A,, Local 1190, The miners of this local had a complaiht about their scale a few months ago and they tried all ways to find out where the trouble was. They had the state scale inspector come to look ‘over the scale, but, when he came, he went first to the coal company’s office and talked it over with the company’s officials. Then he went to seé the scale, and, as ex- pected, he O. K.ed it. The miners then asked to have the empty cars Weighed but the company refused for about two months, then one good day the company officials notified the miners that the cars were to be weighed. After the cars were weighed the miners found that they lost 400 Ibs 6n each car. The men then decided that perhaps their checkweighman was on the com- pany’s side so the miners decided to have him changed and put two in- stead of one in his place. ‘The man got $14.00 a-day. They decided to put two men on and pay each $8.00 a day. At the time of the election the miners had no experienced check- weighman in their local so they de cided to have one man from their own local and one from another local that is idle. The day after the election these two men went to work, but the company’s officials refused to leave both men on the tipple, because the experienced chckweighman was no employe of the company: ‘When the miners saw that, they all went home and decided not to go back until that man goes on the scale, Z After the officials were notified about tho strike, they were soon there with the whole outfit of reactionary Officials, who told us it was “against the agreement” to strike for a man that was not an employe of that com- pany. 9) They also told the miners that the district would not support the strike and that it was “not time to strike” when this same company has so many mines shut down, and that they should work while they can because under this agreement they won't work very long anyway, and that a dollar now will be worth five in a short while. So, after all was said and done, they got the men to go back to work with two inexperienced checkweighmen, and now they are just as bad off as they were before. They have big steel cars in the mine and a full car weighed four tons & few years ago, and now they only weigh three tons. There are 400 load ers in that mine, if each man loads three cars a day and gets cheated out of 1 ton of every car he loads that means 1,200 tons a day and 36,000 tons in 30 days. This shows how the companies make money while the poor man works for nothing. Organize mine committees to take up these griev- ances against both the companies and the rotten officials.

Keystone Lodge No. 1070, of the In- ternational Association of Machinists at Harrisburgh, Penn., answers EB. C. Davison, secretary-treasurer of the machinists’ organization, to a com- munication sent by him, (Davison,) to lodges that did not nominate him asking the reason why. This local lodge gives the reason why they did not nominate Davison, and further- more gives the reason why Johnston was not nominated. This letter is being sent to all the local lodges of the machinists’ organ- ization, giving two specific cases why they are opposing the present official- dom. Only one of the cases mention- ed is enough for honest members of the machinists’ organization to rise in their strength and expel the official- dom, not only from their present of- fices but also from the organization. They are personally responsible of defrauding the local lodge of $3,000 and members and former members of the lodge to the amount of $12,000 and the Central Labor Union to the amount of $4,700. The letter is as follows: Keystone Lodge No, 1070, I. A. of M., Harrisburg, Penna. An open letter to E. C. Davison. “Harrisburg, Pa., March 11th, 1925. “Mr. E. C. Davison, Sec’y.-Treas., Machinists’ Bidg., Washington, D. C., Dear Sir and Brother: “In reply to your letter of February 18th, 1925, in which you ask why Key- stone Lodge No. 1070 did not nomin- ate you for general secretary-treas- urer, beg to say that from the ex- perience we have had with you we consider you totally unfit and untrust- worthy to fill the important position you now hold and to which you seek re-election. Following are a few spe- cific reasons for the above opinion, “We charge you with being mainly responsible for the loss to our lodge of $3,000, to our members and former members of between $12,000 and $14,- 000, and to the Central Labor Union of Harrisburg of $4,700 by encour- aging the purchase of stock in the Columbia Credit corporation of Wash- ington, D. C., which had their offices in. the machinists’ building, and in which you were a stockholder. We understand that some of the other of- ficers of our organization had been ap- proached to buy stock in this corpora- tion and declined, and were later of- fered some stock gratis for the use of their name among the railroad men. They refused to allow their names to be used in this scheme and you, or any other officer should have done the same. “You will recall that a committee from our lodge was sent to Washing- ton to see you and President Johnson and after interviewing you, they came back and reported that they were satisfied that you were a stock holder in the Columbia Credit corporation and that it was sound. We charge that an officer in your position should know the character of concerns that they recommend to our membership and had you at that time warned our committee we would not have pur- cased stock in the above corporation and you would have saved our lodge, our members individually, and the Central Labor Union members several thousand dollars, besides a loss of faith in organized labor. “We recall that a representative of the above named corporation came to our lodge in Harrisburg and showed in the présence of Brother Tom Cor- rol and our members, moving pictures taken in Washington, D. C. with the officers of the Columbia Credit corpo- ration, yourself, and President John- son mingling together, which seemed to us proof that there was a close con- nection between the corporation and our organization and therefore was a safe concern. “Further than this, we were told by the representative that they were on the inside of all that was going on in our\association and that they could help us, and they did on one occasion have printed in our print shop, some red paper bricks to sell for stock pro- motion, which our lodge did not au- thorize but had to pay for, At any rate we lost everything, including our confidence in you and our internation- al president, “We further condemn you for rein- stating A, F. Speese to the grand lodge. We dropped this man because we had found him to*be crooked. When you wrote that he wanted to be reinstated, we protested against it. We told you our experience with him, Still you did reinstate him and then told us that a secret investigator would visit Harrisburg and if our statement was correct you would drop him. We have heard nothing further of this secret investigator, We charge that you should have made the in- vestigation before you reinstated him, If you still contemplate investigation, Mr. Speese will not be hard to locate tor a few years, because he is in the Eastern penitentiary of Pennsylvania as a result of being convicted of em- bezzling the so-called Labor Bank of Harrisburg of $28,000. “Speese became a bank promoter after we dropped him; a so-called labor bank was being organized and naturally it was expedient to have it promotors members of unions and in order that they could the better reach and mislead our members into buying stock. “Tell us, Brother Davison, is there a bond of fellowship between you bank officials which led you to take such extraordinary liberties in rein- stating Speese? Will you take equal liberties in reinstating former rail- road scabs over the protests of lodges which might not want them for mem- bers? “The fact that Speese was convicted of embezzlement is proof that you should have complied with our re- quest and not reinstated him. This might have saved Speese from the penitentiary and it certainly would have saved some of the workers some money. For many of them bought stock in this so-called Labor Bank which is now defunct. “We further condemn you for writ- ing us upon the stationery of the grand lodge and at our expense to ask us why we did not support you, and to other lodges thanking them for their support. We condemn you also for sending out two other cam- paign letters at our expense. We are sure you would not let your opponents send their literature out of your of- fice and at the expense of the grand lodge as you are doing. “Our condemnation against the for- going misconduct is not against you alone but should be shared by the international president, for after ail, he is the head of the organization and should be sufficiently close to all af- fairs to prevent these acts which we complain against. “In our opinion we believe it would be more advisable if our officers paid more attention to the affairs of labor, whereby all the members could re- ceive some benefits from their efforts. So we think you are both unfitted for the positions you seek and these are the reasons we did not support your candidacy. “Trusting that this answers your letter satisfactory, we remain Fraternally yours, (Signed) — M. CALLEN, President, W. B. VELDER, Vice President, C. R. SHORT, Secretary, C. S. DAVIDSON, Fin. Secretary, G. R. OWENS, Comm. Chairman.” The reinstatement of Speese is not the only crime that can be laid at the door of the grand lodge officers or be- ing responsible of keeping members in the organization that they know them- selves are dishonest. While at the same time real honest progressive trade unions are expelled for advo- cating progressive measures and op- posing the policy of the present of- ficialdom. It is to the interest of labor fakers such as Johnston and Davison to keep within the organization such men as Speese and expel men that challenge the power of the fakers. This will continue within our organization as long as the men support individuals instead of candidates running on a left wing program. Build the Shop Committees! Many letters of this nature can be sent out, but if there is no organized movement made, to bring the matter to the attention of the rank and file and remove those responsible for de- trauding the members of the organ- ization the letter will have no effect. The shop committees, of all rank and file workers, will be the means of turning the union over to. the mem- bers and putting all crooks and fakers outside the door, Join the Workers Party!

FIGHTS RIGHT WINGERS IN PHILADELPHIA Local 140 First to Up. hold Left Wing By ALEX BAIL PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 16.— There is a decided swing to the right in the Amalgamated Clothing Work- ers of America, The expulsion of Local No, 5 in New York is, however, not a local, It is rapidly assuming In Philadelphia, Local 140 was the first to feel the effect of this new policy, announced by Hillman in an arrogant speech to the New York joint board. Prior to the election for local offices and delegates to the joint board, a vicious campaign against the left wing administration was launched by the right wing badly disguised as the “Council.” Rumors, half truths and just com- mon lies flooded the market, The Jewish candidate for business agent and the candidates for the other of- fices and committees were branded as anti-semites who give the available jobs to Italians and keep the Jewish workers on the street. Try To Terrorize Members Shop chairman worked with great zeal and hinted to militant workers that a vote for the left administration will mean the loss of their job. Every means of corecion was put to use in an effort to defeat the administration. But the great majority of the mem- bers refused to be: intimidated. They were convinced of the honesty and integrity of the militant leaders of Local No. 140 and they would not listen to the slander of the shady characters of the “Council,” several of whom were thoroly discredited in other organizations in which they were active, and others who are to this very day closer in ideology to the United Garment Workers then to the A. C. W. Mr. Rudow Defies Mr. Rudow The membership gave its decisive answer when it re-elected the old ad- ministration by a vote of 2 to 1. The right wingers staged a demonstration and a handful of them straggled out amid the jeers of the membership. It is essential at this point to mention that Mr, Rudow, the Philadelphia man- ager of the Amalgamated, presided at the meeting, counted the votes and de- clared the old administration re-elect- ed. When the delegates of Local 140 came to the meeting of the joint board, Mr. Rudow declared that the election was illegal and therefore the delegates can not be seated. The reasons he gave were that a group of members left the meeting and that the elections were made by a show of hands and not by secret ballot. The members of the joint board realized that the cause lay deeper nad that Mr. Rudow was manufacturing reasons. There is not a single local in the Philadelphia joint board that elects local officers by any other means then a show of hands. Local 140 has always elected officers im the same manner and it was never chal- lenged. Mr. Rudow presided at the election and not only had he no word of reproof but he declared the dele- gates and officers elected. Mr. Rudow had one good reason which he saw fit to keep under cover. The reason is, that with the delegates of Local 140 seated, Mr. Rudow cannot control the joint board. The membership of the local does want to become the victim of Rudow’'s political schemes, and they bitterly resent his actions. The local voted to reject the decision of the joint board and demands the seating of ite and demands the seating of its dele gates. Joint Board Calls New Elections The joint board has met again, and old timers in the Amalgamated ‘say that it was the most bitterly contest- ed meeting in many years. Of special significance is the fact that the dele- gation from the Italian local under the leadership of De Martini stood solid and led the fight for Local 140. Even with the seats of Local 140 vacant the vote stood 12 to 12 on a motion to call a new election by secret vote, It was with the vote of the machine chairman that the decision was made, The election will be carried out under the control of a special committee of the joint board and one can well imagine what methods will be used to oust the present delegates. Do It Over—And Better Altho the members of the local are opposed to a new electton they will most likely accept it as a last resort in order to again support the present delegation to the joint board, The members of Local 140 will again show that they can not be intimidated and browbeaten into accepting a discred- ited leadership, They will again elect the left wing delegates in spite of all obstacles, Talk it up—your shopmate will subscribe} SECTION OF THE TRADE UNION EDUCATIONAL LEAGUE | y 3
