HUTCHESONAGENT WITH POLICE IN RAID ON T.U.EsL. Second Article Exposing Duffy’s Lies By J. W. JOHNSTONE. Secretary Duffy of the Carpenters’ Union, in his letter to the numerous Tequests demanding explanations om the many expulsions that have taken Place, says, among other things: “You no doubt know that for years we haye had to contend with dual and antagonistic bodies to such an ex- tent that they become not only ob- noxious but dangerous to the growth, development and prosperity of our organization,” Duffy Lies. Any carpenter knows that Duffy lies when he says that the carpenters have had to contend with dual andan- tagonistic bodies. If there is one in- dustry that has been singularly free from dualism, it has been the build- ing trades of the United States. The I. W. W. has never been able to get a foothold in the building industry. And the O. B. U. that swept Canada, 1919-20, has no adherents any more among the building trades workers there and never had a foothold in the United States. So to classify the T. U. E. L. with dual organizations is simply an at- temrt made by Hutcheson, to gain the sympathy of those members not con- versant with the facts. Again he says, “You must remem- ber that there are two sides to every story, and evidently Local Union 2140 injected other matters into these doc. uments besides that referring to Wm. Reynolds, in order to get the sym- pathy and support of other local un. fons not knowing the facts.” We Tell the Other Side. ‘We agree with Mr. Duffy, and the “other side” of the story is now being told tothe membership thru the medium of the DAILY WORKER, the Progressive Building Trades Worker, the pamplilet “What's Wrong fn the Carpenters’ Union,” and the resolution sent out by Carpenters’ Local 2140 of Detroit, Mich. The G. E. B., in expelling Reynolds ‘and the Los Angeles carpenters (16), heard a one-sided story, and expelled them without hearing the story of the expelled. Wm. Reynolds of Detroit did not even know he was being in- vestigated and was expelled by letter from the general executive board in Indianapolis. ‘We would like to ask Mr. Duffy and his boss, Hutcheson, if this is what they consider “hearing both sides of the story”? Torturing the Truth. Another choice paragraph is, “The ase of the 11 men refered to in Los Angeles is a similar one (as Reyn- olds, Ed.) However, at the Septem- ber, 1924, meeting of the genefal exe- ecutive board held in Indianapolis, that case was carefully gone into, after which the board decided they would reinstate these members in good standing providing they gave assur- ance to the board that they would wever their connections with the Yrade Union Educational League and would not give it any countenance, support, or recognition whatever in the future. This these men refused to do. So they have no one to blame but themselves for being outside the pale of the United Brotherhood.” This is the usual method adopted by the corrupt Hutcheson administra tion to evade the issue in answering the questions asked. Duffy “forgets” to say that Wm. Muir, general organizer, in conjunc: tion with the policy of Los Angeles, staged a raid upon a meeting held by the Trade Union Educational League on March 1, 1924; that 39 men and women, carrying on a peaceful edu- cational meeting, were brutally flung into a patrol wagon, taken down to the police station and forced to tell what union they belonged to. Expelled Without Trial. ‘Two days later Wm. Muir, personal representative of Hutcheson, with the information received from the police, read off a list of 17 names to the Car- ‘, penters’ District Council, of those whom he asked be suspended. One man who happened to be friendly with Muir, was quietly drop- ped from the list, and the other 16 members not 11, as Duffy states in his letter, were expelled without trial three days after the raid, and upon evidence submitted by the police de- partment of Los Angeles. This happened in March, 1924, and the appeal of these 16 members was not heard by the general executive board until after the convention. This hearing was purposely delayed so that the defendants would not be able tc appeal to the convention, © Old and Active Members. . Another’ thing that Duffy con- veniently neglects to mention was that D. Z. McClure was permanently expelled, and that all the members in volved had been in the organization from five to 32 years; that all were active in the union, most of them holding offices such as business agent, local secretary, trustees, and dele. y STOOL PIGEON OF THE GOVERNMENT FAILS 10 BREAK TEXTILE STRIKE SPRINGFIELD, Mass.—Striking textile workers at the Chicopee mills of the Dwight Manufacturing company refuse to acept the terms the employers offered them instead of the average 10 per cent wage cuts first announced. Charles G. Wood, federal conciliator, failed again to win the workers to the company view and has gone to Bos- ton to try to revise the company’s proposition with its treasurer, Wood is under suspicion by Mas- sachusetts workers because of his repeated efforts to infilience strik- ers at Waltham and othed places to accept company propositions, gates to district and central labor bodies. Nor does Duffy say, that besides the conditions laid down in the above quotation, that the ruling of the G, BE. B. carried with it the following: “They shall not be permitted to hold office in any local union or serve as comitteemen of any local union for @ period of five years.” Duffy knows full well that if he told the truth about the official decision of the G. E. B. on the Los Angeles cases in his circular letter to the local un- lons, they would immediately de- mand the reinstatement of the expel- led. Another point upon which Duffy re- mains silent is the police raid. But if Duffy is silent, not so with his local lieutenants. Hutcheson’s Agent Accompanied Police Raiders. We are in receipt of a copy of a letter from Carpenters’ Local No. 2203, of Anaheim, Calif, Feb. 23, 1925, signed by J. R. Carothers, Rec. Secy., in which it states, after con- demning the T. U. E. L.: “The police of Los Angeles raided a meeting of the T. U. E. L., think- ing they were I. W. W.’s. One of the representatives of our general office was present with the raiders and got hold of the membership folé of the T. U. E. L. and also saw some-of the members of the Carpenters Union in this hall. These members: were ex- pelled from the Carpenters’: Union and got damn little sypathy from,any but their kind.” Here we get a,frank admission from J. R. Carothers that Hutcheson, thru his personal representative, .used the polic@in raiding an educational meet- ing of the T. U. E. L. upon evidence obtained by the police, expelled with- out trial 16 of the most active car- penters in Los Angeles. Their Kind Multiplies. Carothers says “They got damn lit- tle sympathy from any but their kind.” This is quite true. But their kind are so numerous in Los Angeles that Locals Nos. 1500, 2337, 158, 426, 1976 and 884, endorsed the resolution sent out by Detroit Local 2140 de- manding their reinstatement and con- demning the expulsion policy. Duffy, in his letter, resorts to half-truths which are worse than deliberate lies. Like Wm. Reynolds, the Los An- geles expelled members were put out of the Brotherhood without a hearing or trial, because they held different political opinions to those of Wm. L. Hutcheson and were determined to expose his corrupt administration. In tomorrow's article, I will take up that part of Duffy’s letter dealing with the Chicago expulsion cases, Hutcheson Frames Up on More Carpenters to Retain His Job NEW YORK CITY.—In spite of hun- dreds of carpenters’ locals and numer- ous district councils that have protest- ed against the expulsion policy of the Hutcheson administration, Hutcheson still continues to broaden out his dis- ruptive campaign. The latest victims to feel the weight of Czar Hutcheson’s mailed fist are the officers of Local 376 of New York City and Jos. Lap- idus, campaign manager for Morris Rosen, who was left wing candidate for president in the recent carpenters’ election. They have been notified to appear before a special investigating commit- tee selected by the G. EB. B., to answer charges of issuing “scandalous and scurrilous” matter during the election campaign, The “scandalous” matter referred to is the election program up- on which Morris Rosen ran for presi- dent. It advocated amalgamation, in- dependent working class political ac- tion, job control, etc. If there are any members of the Carpenters’ Union who have been in doubt in the past as to the basis of Hutcheson’s expulsion policy, this latest act of treachery should convince them that the talk about “dual union- ism” is all poppy-cock and that Hutch- eson merely uses this as a cover un- der which to expel all those members who took an active part against him in the last election.

DAILY WORKER: Friends, this union bricklayer is go- ing to give a correct outline of the open shop drive in Massachusetts in 1921, by the chamber of commerce and the building trust combined. Friends, this will substantiate an- other bricklayer’s item in the DAILY WORKER of March 4, 1925, compli- menting Vice-President Thornton with selling the Bricklayers’ Union to scab bosses in Philadelphia in 1924. But in this case all the officers, local and international, were mixed up in the graft that the big builders, the George A. Fuller and the Turner Construction company of New York handed out to these labor traitors. For instance, in Lawrence, Massa- chusetts, Peabody and company were constructing a large job for the Amer- ican Woolen company, when the open shop was declared, and the contrac- tors moved out with the union men. But in came Turner Construction com- pany with New York scabs and took their places. The George A. Fuller company was doing the same dirty work in Boston, and don’t forget that the most aggres- sive tool they acquired. to crush those local unions were the international of- ficers, who have special agreements with the big thieves. ; ‘The writer wishes your co-operation in hig struggle towards amalgamation in the building industry, and also a boost in the sales of our valuable paper.

L. Hutch- eson, president’ of the Carpenters’ Un- ion, 1s receiving the support of almost the entire membership of Detroit. At the last meeting of the district coun- cil, when the Heutenants of Hutcheson refused to open thé meeting, the dele- gates took the’ matter into their own hands and eletted Wm. Reynolds of Local No. 2140 as-president, and Wal- | lace of Local No. 1805 as secretary, and instrutted them to prepare a pro- gram for organizational activity for the next meéting. Hutcheson’s attempt to disrupt the organization in Detroit is still going on. Hutcheson took the controversy into the capitalist courts and said he would abide by its decision. Of course, he fondly imagined that the decision would be in his favor and did not con- sider that capitalist courts are some- times compelled to yield to mass pressure. The decision of Judge Hunt in dis- solving the injunction and dismissing the contempt proceedings against Rey- nolds, forces Hutcheson to adopt new tactics. He has refused to accept the per capita tax of ‘Local No, 1191 until they send their books to Indianapolis. This move is very obvious. It sim- ply means that Hutcheson is going to try to reduce. the delegation té the district council to a potnt where he can. control it. However, this is a futile maneuver, because there isn’t a single local in Detroit that supports Hatcheson’s position. Local No., 2140 of Detroit did not ask for, and, refuses to accept Judge Hunt’s decigion. They have placed their case before the rank and file and will be guided by their decision. President: Hutcheson, in violation of all uniom principles, appealed to a capitalist ,court. It was he that “prayed” forythe court’s decision. Now that he hasugot it, it is up to him to ecceptritr ys. gars 're+ Faithful Servants Get Usual Reward from Government WASHINGTON, D. C., March 17.— No-sooner has the White House caus- ed Public Printer Carter to dismiss 175 union printers from the govern- ment printing office, thereby reduc- ing the force to 4,000 persons, than officials of Columbia Typographical Union get hold of copies of posters printed by Carter and sent thruout the country, very * recently, urging printers to come to Washington to take jobs in this very shop. The administration apparently wanted to get.a supply of non-union labor on hand, waiting and anxious for work, before it dismissed a lot of old experienced hands, who might make a protest at their own unmerit- ed fate, How cruel was this typical Cool- idge order is shown by the case of one man who was within four months of the right to retire on the small pen- sion provided by contributions from the pay envelopes of all government employes. He lost his job and, his pension. Others dismissed had serv- ed faithfully for 30 years. Teachers,Need More Strikes‘ and Fewer Lawyers to Win Raise — NEW YORK+wWith income tax re- turn figures showing an increase of total taxable incomes and a decided increase in the total of very large taxable incomes, Henry R. Linville, president New York Teachers’ Union asks, “Why should not these indica- tions of prosperity favorably affec the wage of teachers? Why should not teachers gét at least a living wage for the important and indispens ible social serviee they render?” The Teachers’ Union is backing the Kleinfield-Ricca bill, No, 847, in the state legislatuté which would provide salary increases for New York city teachers. Linville says, “The last year record a slow but steady upward climb of the cost of living index curve. “The upward movement of prices is neither temporary nor local but permanent and world-wide, as any ex amination of the statistics publishec in the U. S, Labor Bulletin or in the Canadian Labor’ Gazette will show.” He asks if the teachers shall he “the only large group to whom justice is again denied?” Abraham Lefkbvitz, legislative chair man for the tilifon, is sending out a call for immediate practical demon- strations by tedthers of their power to aid the passage of the salary in- crease bil) LOSOVSKY WRITES UPON THE THREE KINDS OF UNIONS Their Attitude Toward Capitalist Society By A. LOSOVSKY. General Secretary of the Red Inter national of Labor Unions. The trade union movement of pre- war time was divided on the main lines, between those having a class conscious point of view and those of non-class viewpoint. -Among those with a class conscious viewpoint we can count the principal trade union bodies of Germany, Hngland, France, Italy and the Scandinavian countries, which in their programs, resolutions, etc., pointed out the class struggle and which theoretically, at least, were opposed to class collaboration. The non-class unions, were those which in their programs, declared openly for co-operation between classes and for social peace; these were the catholic, democratic, protes- tanty and other unions. We should also count here the yellow unions, which theoretically recognized the class and social peace, but, in prac- tice had been conducting a class strug. gle—but not on the side of the work- ers; rather on the side of the bour- geoisie. This is the first grouping which divided the great mass of or- ganized workers and which is the primary classification of the trade un- ions existing at that time. , Three Ideological Groups. But this rough division of the class and non-class is, in itself, not enuf if we do not explain what the class unions at that time really were. Examining that part of the unions which, before the war, united about three-fourths of all organized workers on a class basis, we can point out in general three political groupings which had been formed during a long historical period. On one side was trade unionism—taking here trade un- ionism as a certain ideological and po- litical movement—then anarcho-syndi- calism and third, social-democratic trade unions. These are the three dif. ferent clear political divisions into which the class trade union move- ment was divided. Let us take up the characteristics of each of these move- ments. First—Trade Unionism. What do we understand in the trade uftion literature and politics under trade unionism? This name, which was adopted from the Anglo-Saxon countries, became during the long per- iod of development of the English and American trade union movement not only an external formula or symbo! for a certain trade union in a certain country, but it represented also a certain ideological and political con- tent of the trade union movement. Under trade unionism we understand such a form of the labor and trade union movement which has for its pur- pose only ‘the narrow economic prob- lems of bettering conditions of labor, higher wages, etc Trade unionism is a theory which has grown out of the practical Anglo- Saxon labor movement, which in fact does not have in its program, in theory or in practice, the overthrowal of capitalism, but only the betterment of conditions within the capitalist system. Thinks Capitalism Permanent. So the main characterization of trade unionism (also a characteriza- tion of reformism, which is under- stood widely outside the borders of Anglo-Saxon countries) is the strug: gle within the frame of the capitalist system and the conception of that system as a permanent one within the frame of which we have to struggle and better the conditions of the work- ing class. Most of the practical and theoretical workers of the Anglo- Saxon labor movement openly con- strued the problems of the trade union only in the sense of bettering the conditions of the working class under capitalism and even put up the theory of the existence of three main factors, labor, capital, and society (public). What the trade union leaders under- stood by the “public” somewhat re- minds us in Russia of our term “the third element.” There was such a third element in the zemstvo (councils of the rural citizenry), the intelligen- zia, which was objectively counted as revolutionary but which played a somewhat separate role between the two main struggling classes, Under “public” they understood that part of the bourgeoisie which under the pres- sure of the working class came to the conclusion of the usefulness of the gradual betterment of the conditions of labor in the interests of capital itself. Conditions Force Amalgamation. The further characterization of the trade union form of the labor move- ment in its organizational division (structure) and the domination of the local over the general interest. These local or craft organizations which have been built up déring decades still retain their local power at the present time, notwithstanding the fact that objective conditions force the labor movement to unite the small- Page Three “We Scab Under Union Label,” Says Iron Worker of Local 52 NEW YORK CITY.—Last spring the iron workers that belong to Local No. 40 of the International Association of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental Iron Workers’: Union struck for recog- nition of their union. The strike was a direct result of the continuous attempt of the “Iron League” to establish the open shop in New York City.

NILES, Ohio.—During the past year The strike is going already about a|the nearest thing to organization éc=s year. On February 8, 1925, an attempt was made to erect the steel of the Stand- ard Oil skyscraper at 26th street and Broadway with strike breakers. On the same day the union answer- ed with taking the Ornamental Work- ers’ Local No. 52 on strike. It didn’t take more than a week's time, and we see that Local No. 52 is already back at work. We thought that the union had won the strike, but when we Game across one struck building and asked the iron workers “why did Local No. 52 go to work without Local No. 40?” they answered me that they did not “go to work but to scab.” “And to scab with a union label,” said another one. MINERS ROBBED AND INSULTED BY BOSS AND FAKERS Unholy Alliance in the Coal Pits McDONALD, Pa.,—Operators and miners’ officials break and disregard the agreement here by the wholesale. But what is a signed agreement among friends? In the Montour mine, number 9, of the Pittsburgh Coal company, the men have to work in water which in many instances is a foot deep. There is no protection for the miner, only what he himself can force the boss to give. When the loaders kick about water in the room and ask for some method to get it out so they can load the coal they are told to drink the water if they want a dry place to work in! Officials Won’t Let Men Fight Back. This insult is thrown at the miners by the little pit bosses because they know that the miners’ official gang will not allow the men to put up any kind of a fight to enforec their de- mands. If the pit boss is finally forced by any of the men to furnish them with water boxes into which they can bail the water, he does not pay them. Yet all dead work is supposed to be paid for at the rate of $7.50 per day. Not only do the men lose the time that it takes to bail the water out but they also lose a car of coal. Instead of being furnished an empty ear in their turn they are given the water box. Even after the loader pails the water out for himself he san not get it taken out of the room. Klux Ignorance Rampart. Here the operators use klan and race prejudice against the loaders who are either fireign born or colored. Practically all of the drivers and day workers are the conceited type born in this country and belonging to the ‘lan that is an easy prey for the op- erators. They ste used against the loaders and refuse to haul out the water boxes. All of the honest miners must fight these conditions in the mine by par- ticipating in the affairs of their organ- ization and not leave it in the hands of the reactionary officials, They must build fighting mine committees in each pit to battle both bosses and fakers to a finish, loose parts, to amalgamate the unions into wider organizations uniting the workers of a whole industry. As a result of the domination of the sec- tional interest over the interests of the whole industry, we have now the domination of the narrow economic interests over the interests of the whole class. This is pure trade union. ism. ’ eee Next week Comrade Losovsky will write about prewar anarcho- syndicalist unions, the ideology of which has, in some measure, par- ticularly of recent years, swayed the Industrial Workers of the World, (1, W.

Tighe & Co., of the Amal- gamated Association of Iron and Tin Workers, was at Detroit, where a few workers promised the officialdom that they “would think it over.” In spite of the thousands of unorganized steel and other workers eligible to join the A, A. of I. S. & T. W., this is the only “work” accomplished by the officialdom. Lodges known to be favorable to the machine have been sending in attacks after attacks upon the progressive rank and file organization. These ma chine lodges have been spewing thei: venom-like propaganda all over the pages of the Amalgamated Journal preparing the ground work for the at- tack which the desperate officialdom will launch at the coming national! convention. The editor of the Journal has set down these rules for lodge journal agents to follow: “1. Journal agents should refrain from mentioning In their letters mab ters that transpire at any executive session of a sub-lodge, with the ex- ception of things of general interest. “2. Mention should not be made of non-attendance at meeetings, non-pay- ment of dues, poor lodge attendance, and the delinquencies of members. “3, Matters of a personal nature, jokes on members, libelous remarks or anything of a derogatory character which might be misconstrued will be ellminated from letters.” The officialdom are doing every: thing possible to prevent the A. A of I. S. & T. W. from becoming an ef fective organization by applying this blind censorship and system of gagg- ing the rank and file. The true condition existing in this once powerful union must be made known to the workers, and its weak- ness must be exposed rather than con- cealed, as the officialdom are attempt- ing to do. When the rank and file once know the true condition of their union they will not be sandbagged by some flighty scribe who cannot see the dif- ference between loyalty to class and loyalty to a sleek officialdom who have long ago lost their vision of what working class unions function for. “Save the A. A. of I. 8. & T. W.1” is the cry of the rank and file, and “Organize the unorganized!” “Amal- gamate—Agitate—Educate!” It is expected that the officialdom will dig up defunct lodges in order to have ‘their’ delegates at the conven- tion. It is expected that no stone will be left unturned to defeat the progressives. But thinking members of this union will ask of M. F. Tighe & Co, the following questions: 1.' How many new members have we secured during the past year of your administration? How many new lodges? 2. How many. members have we lost?) Why have we lost them? 3. What have you done for our locked-out and strike-ridden lodges? 4. What about our treasury? What about the censorship you have placed upon our Journal? 5. Why do you cry that the“Reds” are to blame for this deplorable con- dition of decay now existing in our international union, when you know that ONLY the progressive lodges can show Increased lodge membership? Unorganized and organized steel and iron workers! Place your shoul- ders to the wheel and unite with the progressives by supporting them in their work of educating and organ- izing the steel workers.
