WOES WROUGHT BY CALIFORNIA LABOR TRAITORS Organization is Sundered By Dissensions LOS ANGELES, July 12—The many | flaws in the American Federation of| Labor of California are becoming fis- sures likely to disintegrate the or- ganization. Dissensions are pronounc- ed. Building trades revolt against Gentral Labor Councils and painters’ unions secede from Building Trades Councils. When reverse action fol- lows, wider breaches result.

When membership in the California I. W. W. numbered 40,000, as compared with 100,000 in the A. F. of L. the big organization decided to knife the smaller. It was as Rome agajnst Carthage, war to the death, A. F, of L. Officiaidom and Times United. Forgetting its own experience with the A, F. of L., the Times approved the outlawing of the lL. W.

Holds Membership Meeting HH membership meeting of the Young Workers League, Local Chi cago, held Friday, July 10, at the Greek Hall, demonstrated that the Chicago league will carry on greater activities than ever before during the summer months. Not only were plans laid for more intensive activities, but the activities will be launched and the Chicago league will show its strength by car- rying on three important campaigns at once. This membership meeting -was) called by the City Executive Commit- tee especially to deal with these three important’ campaigns which are be- ing started immediately, and the mem- bers responded enthusiastically to the call for volunteers to distribute anti- militarist leaflets, to get subscriptions for the Young Worker, and to carry on} a huge campaign in the printing in- dustry, the goal of which will pe the} organization of nuclei in the viggest printing plants in the city. Anti-Militarist Activities. In reporting on the campaign against the citizen’s military training camps, as well as against all capitalist mili- tarism, Comrade Gilbert Greenberg reported that the Chicago league would distribute 30,000 leaflets against the citizens’ military training camps, all of which will be disposed of at the factories. How They Will Be Distributed. They will be distributed at the big- gest plants in the city, and especially those plants which send young work- ers to the camps will be covered. | Branch No. 1 will distribute 4,000 leaflets, Branch No, 2 will distribute 4,00; Branch No. 3, 3,000; Branch No.| 4, 7,000; Branch No. 5, 4,000, and} Branch No. 6, 3,000. Besides this squads will be organized on a city scale to cover two of the biggest| plants in the city. | The Printing Industry Campaign. | Cotmrade John Harvey, reporting on the preparation that had been} made for a campaign in the printing | industry, told of the importance of) conducting a campaign in this in- dustry in Chicago. | Chicago is the center of the printing industry, which is one of the biggest industries in the country. Out of the! 35,000 workers employed in the in-| dustry here, a large percentage are} young workers, as it is greatly by) employing thousands of young work-| ers and a big percentage of helpers in comparison to the skilled bindery workers and printing, that the em- Ployers in Chicago have been to put the industry here so much on an open shop basis. Different From Other Campaigns. Comrade Harvey pointed out that there were many live issues on which we will fight in our campaign in the printing industry. The rotten condi- | No. -2 workers to get names, and when street meetings will be held. This is the biggest number of volunteers that the Chicago league has had for any campaign, and com- ing right after an appeal for volun- teers for the distributions of the anti-miiltarist leaflets, it showed plainly that the Chicago league had the fdxces to carry on intensive ac- tivities in several fields at once. | A Red Week For the Young Worker. - When Comrade Natalie Gomez re- ported on the preparations that had been made for a big subscription drive, which would start on Sunday, July 19, when thé comrades will can- vass the lists of subscribers for the DAILY WORKER and the language press in Chicago, as well as the Work- ers Monthly and readers of the other radical press, it looked as if the Chi- cago league was going to be able to get enough subs to fill its quota in the Réd Star Subscription Drive be- fore the national convention. With the help of the Isits which have been prepared, the members will be able to canvass for subs without spending hours in visiting homes where they will not be listened to. The drive for subs will not only be on this Red Sunday, but will con- tinue thruout the whole week, and as there is a large list of names the comrades expect to get many subs both for the Young Worker and the Young Comrade. Prizes Will Be Given, Prizes have been arranged for those | comrades getting five, ten, fifteen and | twenty subscriptions, and as these are especially attractive prizes, the com- rades will try their best to win them. After Comrade Gomez finished her report, there were many challenges from comrades and branches who felt sure they could beat the other in get- ting subs. Branch No. 4 challenged Branch No. 1 to get 75 subs; Branch No. 5 challenged No. 6 to 60 subs, and challenged No. 3 to 25° sub- scriptions, Individual comrades who challenged each other in getting subs are: Subs Anna Letchinger—Rose Cohe 0 Natalie Gomez—Ethel Byrne.. 0 John Harvey—Marie Polishuk. 5 Vera Freedman—Barney Mass.. 5 John Hecker—Albert Glotzer.. =e Catherine Polishuk—H.

Twenty-five Workers’ Societies Combine For Big Picnic July 26th NEW YORK, July 12—Twenty-five tions in the big open shops, the large of the Hungarian Workers Societies number of unorganized young work-jare arranging a combined picnic for ers who work side by side with the the workers of the state of New Jer union workers, the difficulty to get|sey on Sunday, July 26, at the Fedak into the craft unions, the open shop apprecenticeship schools, and many} other issues vital to all young work-) ers in the industry will be touched} upon, This campaign will be conducted | much differently from the campaign in the mail order industry. It will be less of a journalistic and more of an organizational campaign, and while there will be plenty of interest- ing articles on conditions in the in-| dustry and stories on the various| shops, the success of the campaign} will be judged not by the number of) papers we sell, but by the extent we are able to crystalize our activities into concrete shop nucleus results. Will Last Seven Weeks. The campaign will last seven weeks, and instead of having all of the ar- ticles In one issue of the Young Worker as in the mail order “house campaign, the league will tackle one shop at a time, concentrating all of its forces at this shop three days of one week, when they will start on another factory, and the work of keep- ing up the campaign will be left to the area branch jn whose territory the plant is located. This will not only make it possible to accomplish more at each shop, but will make it easy for the branches to continue the campaign there, as dur- ing the whole seven weeks there will be much interesting material in the Young Worker, which the young workers in these shops will want to read even when there is no special story about their shop in that special issue. The seventh week at the end of the campaign, there will be a special issue of the Young Worker which will be sold at all of the plants and will be the wind-up of the most intensive part of the campaign tho far from the end for the branches, which will keep on going to the shop in their territory to see that organizational results are realized or to help the nucleus already organized, Many Comrades Volunteer, More than 60 comrades volunteered to go to the factories during the print- ing industry campaign, and in this way registered their enthusiasm and showed that the Chicago league could make this campaign a .

Deputies of the right parties de- manded that-the government “put all Communists in prison for treason.” Painleve declared he would “dea iwth the Communists as far as the law allows.” He added he would “keep the tri-color flying over Mofocco in de- fense of the sovereignty of the sultan and civilization.” That Painleve is ‘keeping the tri- color flying,’ in defense ‘of the French; bankers is further shown in the fact | that the Spanish millionaire Horace Echevarietta, and other capitalists were entrusted with the mission of | lelivering the French-Spanich “‘peace terms” to Krim. It is known that| hese terms will not be accepted, as Krim is ordered to» accept a Spanish protectorate, which he has refused to do. + Fresh Credits Won’t Help Much.
