F. of L. to the disgrace of having a set of labor fakers set themselves up ‘as scab recruiters to break the strike con- ducted by a genuine labor organization. This was a challenge to every honest trade unionist in Chicago, and tho the officials of the Chicago Federation of Labor were at first inclined to remain “neutral” as shown by John Fitzpatrick’s inter- view to the Federated Press, in which he expressed the hope that the central body would not become involved in the controversy, there was evidence that the local unions would take action on their own accord, so the federation officials decided that valor was at this time the better part of discretion and did what the DAILY WORKER suggested. The DAILY WORKER called on the federation officials and the Federation News to join with it in condemning scabbery masquerad- ing under the cloak of trade unionism. Had we failed to make con- structive proposals, had we confined ourselves to making general attacks on the officials of the Chicago Federation of Labor, those worthies would be pleased. They could go before the rank and file of the unions and say: “Those Communists have no program, their only policy is one of indiscriminate criticism.” And they would have an argument against the Communists. But unfortunately for the reactionaries, the Communists in this case as in every other case had a program, And what made Fitz- patrick and and his corps of red-baiters mad was that they were ob- liged to adopt the very policy advocated by the DAILY WORKER and by the militants in the local unions. Of course, there are other contributory causes to this madness. There is the fear of William Green’s wrath. The Amalgamated is listed in the A. F. of L. diction- ary asa “dual union.” Therefore it was hazardous for Fitzpatrick to defend the Amalgamated against the scabby United Garment Workers’ Union, without standing in real danger of being branded asa Communist. When any labor leader acts like a real honest trade unionist, his action is likely to be branded as “Communist.” And the reason is obvious. The Communists and the militants who follow their lead are today the only ‘elements in the trade unions that have a program and‘a policy that coincides with the interests of the work- ers. Even Fitzpatrick himself in a lucid moment had to admit this, substantially. is The slanderous and-stupid attack on the Communists serves as an alibi for Fitzpatrick and Nockles in case their even more reactionary’ opponents, locally should make an issue of the United Garment Workers’ Union seabbery before the executive council of the A. F. of L. Fitzpatrick and Nockels can present this letter to Green as proof that they are real enemies of the Communists. If Communism is to be discredited before the working class, it will not be done by charging the Communists of being in favor of amalgamation, the defense of class war prisoners, Irish famine relief, defense of the Negro workers against race discrimination and other issues that touch the heart of the working class. The Communists alone take up those issues \because they are fighting issues that make for the greater solidarity of the workers of all races and colors, na- tionally and internationally. The labor fakers, either too lazy to do anything or too corrupt, indulge in slander of those who step in to help. whether it be to defend class war prisoners in America or raise funds for starving peasants in Ireland. The employing class and their organs, the yellow socialists, and the labor aristocracy will take comfort from. the official attack of the Chicago Federation of Labor on the Communists. They are wel- come to the luxury. This policy was tried out by the labor fakers, acting under the instructions of the open shop employers in Min- neapolis and Seattle, movement. The stock of the Communists have not gone down in those cities. They have gone up, but the same cannot be said for the labor fakers. In the struggle in the trade unions between those who want to substitute class collaboration for the class struggle, such incidents “will grow more common as the-fight becomes more intense. But as the British trade union: leader Bromley said in his reply to the *¢abinet minister who asked-for the co-operation of the trade union leaders in fighting the Communists: “The Communists are always on the side of the workers against the employing class.” This fact _the rank and file of the American workers are learning fast. Thé falsehoods of the labor skates will not prevent the spread of this ‘ Knowledge. The DAILY WORKER, in forcing the officials of the Chicago ‘federation of Labor to come out against trade union seabbery has rendered another service to:the trade union movement. The French and Spanish troops are still “defeating” the Riffians, but the Jatter are advancing and capturing new territory. No doubt Abd-el-Krim will pray to Allah for a regular catastrophe. General Dawes is going west to train with some bronchos be- fore tackling the senate when it reconyenes. By the way, what hap- pened to the “minute men of the constitution”? Anti-Semitic riots are taking place in Vienna, a city entirely in the control of socialists. There are no. anti-Semitic riots in Soviet Russia. How can the yellow socialists explain thi Another struggle in Portugal’ between rival wings of the bour- geoisie passed without bloodshed. Indeed, it is not reported that even a single combatant had his bunions trodden on: “Get a member for the Workers Party anda new gubscription tor the DasLY WORKER th 5, with disastrous results to the trade union | FEDERATION OF LABOR SCORES STRIKEBREAKING Nockels Condones Tom Rickert’s Scabbery + ———— (Continued trom page 1) gressive views and went back to the reactionary crib, Joseph Wise, recently on the pay- roll of the DAILY WORKER Publish- ing company as linotype operator, but now a champion red baiter, took the floor to defend the United Garment Workers in their scabbery. He thought the scabs did mot have their day in court. He wanted to know if the offi- cials of the U. G. W, were invited before the executive board of the Fe- deration and why a communication from an organization not affiliated to the A. F. of L. should receive such con- sideration. He was referring to the letter of the joint board of the Amal- gamated calling the attention of the C.F, of L. to the situation created by the strikebreaking tactics of the U. G, W. Fitzpatrick and Nockels stepped pretty hard on Mr. Wise. “If you want to. act as @ handmaiden and defender for scabbery, go ahead” declared Fitz- patrick. Nockels exchanged left hand- ed compliments with Wise, punning on his cognomen. “You are a pretty wise guy” said Neckels “but you don’t know everything yet.” The delegates laugh- ed at Mr. Wise’s discomfiture, and that worthy pulled in his horns until the tirade against the Communists began. On this point he was on all fours with Fitzpatrick and Nockels and all got along famously. The executive committee’s report contained two important recommen- dations. One was the statement on the garment workers; the other was a broadside agaifist the Communists. Several delegates remarked privately that. the action taken by the executive committee of the federation was first suggested by the DAILY WORKER editorially and also raised in local unions by Communists. In an inter- view to the Federated Press, Fitzpa- trick, while expressing friendliness to the,Amalgamated Clothing Workers, hoped that the central body would not be drawn. into the controversy. The DAILY WORKER made this interview the basis of a strong editorial point- ing out that expressions of friendship on the part of Fitzpatrick would be of no. use to the striking clothing workers unless this friendship was translated into action and that there could not be any compromise with scabbery, . Forced To Act There,.was nothing else for Fitzpa- trick to do except denounce the scab- bery.of the United Garment Workers or stand. convincted as a frothy wind- bag,.and an artful dodger of import- ant issues. Fitzpatrick therefore de- cided, to change his tactics and the condemnation of the U. G. scabbers was. the result. But this policy was bound to draw fire from the reaction- ary, “Bill” Green, who sits at the same table with Tom Rickert president of the, United Garment Workers. As Fitzpatrick explained to the dele- gates, it’s a game of trade and barter on the executive committee of the A. F. of L, “You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours” is the way the thing infected with the hives of scabbery, it was only natural that he should call for William Green’s scrub brush. Green came down on the Chicago Fe- deration of Labor for “injecting” it- self into the situation, in fact he made the same charge against Fitzpatrick that Fitz is so fond of making against the Communists. Fitzpatrick and Nockels got a stomach of fighting the executive council of the A. F. of L. in the old days. Evidently they prefer some other kind of baliast nowadays. They prefer to fight the Communists. In order to ward off a charge that the Federation had again come under the control of the Communists the broad- side against the radicals was turned loose. It is significant that no mention of the attack on the United Garment Workers got into the capitalist press, but the Herald Examiner carried a long story telling of the attack on the Communists Were the reporters aat- ing under the instructions of Fitzpa- trick in ignoring the action against | Scabbery, one of the biggest pieces of news that broke on the floor of the Federation in many months? This letter which winds up with the melodramatic “beware” v-mmon to dime novel conspiracies is a, splendid proof of*intellectual bankruptcy and Political depravity and obviously writ- ten bythe semi-literate who now edits the champion ridicule butt of labor journalism, The Federation News. Fitz Aided British Empire , During the discussion that followed reading of this work of art, Fitzpatrick explained that he had no objection to Communists appealing to local unions for funds provided they came to the doors of the locals under their own names. He appeared to be particularly angry because Communists with Irish names, and they happen to be genuine, sponsored an appeal for funds to help the stricken peasants on the west coast of Ireland, The letter refers to those Irish radicals are “renegade Irishmen.” Those “renegade Irishmen” were working for th dom of Ire- works, so when Rickert’s back became | land from Great Britain: when Fitzpa- trick was on Woodrow Wilson's band wagon, howling for war against Ger- many and lining up the, workers of this country to saveythe millions of the House of Morgan and the fortunes of the British Empire, < Irishmen active in the movement for Irish freedom cannot) remember any notable contribution made to the cause of Irish independence from England by Fitzpatrick unless, his support of the war and of Woodrow Wilson can be considered in that light. Fitzpa- trick also pretends to favor an Irish republic yet, he worshipped the lead- er of the Free State traitors Michael Collins, who was as much responsible as anybody else for betraying the re- public. This is g sample of Fitz- patrick’s consistency. One delegate feared that the Com- munists were going to turn the craft unions into industrial ‘unions. Dele- gate Walt of the iron: workers raved and ranted, but it was difficult to catch his words. What he;wanted to say was, that he was tired! of the Com- munists 4nd did not want.them in the local unions or on the flopr of the Fe- deration, He had no word: of censure for the .scabbery of the United Gar- ment Workers. . Delegate Wise protested that “se- crets” of the local unions.found their way into the DAILY WORKER. This gentleman with the-Masonic Order conception of trades;,unionism, was ‘sore because some insanity that came out of his befuddled brain, was ex- posed to the rank and file, -Put Them Wise :To Wise Delegate Overgaard of: the Machin- ists Union, told another secret’ and that was that Mr. Wise, the anti-Com- munist, had no objection to accepting Communist money on the payroll of this same DAILY WORKER. “If I hated an organization as much as Wise hates the Communists I would not accept their money” said Over- gaard. Sevoral delegates who knew Wise, thot he got sore on the Com- munists because they Jerked him loose from the p&yroll..He has another rea- son, which is stronger than that, Wise is a congenital faker, and a mountain of ignorance, while possessing at the same time a badly inflated ego. A man with such accomplishments is a natur- al enemy of Communism. Kipling said that the. “female of the species is more deadly than,the male.” Whether she is or not, Mollie Freed- man, who claims to represent the offi- cialdom of the strangulated Interna- tional Ladies’ Gorment Workers’ Un- ion, proved that she was just as stupid and as unscrupulous as the “wise Mr. Wise,” when she took the floor.

Swindler of Millions Says He’s Broke. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 20,— Morton 8. Hawkins, facing 15 years’ imprisonment following his convic- tion in federal court here on charges of using the mails to defraud, today filed a petition asking the government to finance his appeal to the United States cirenft court of appeals at Shicago. ye ‘ Hawkins declared he was a pauper nd unable to bear the necessary osts of transferring the’ case to the igher eour 4 torted. The citation came as soon as court convened, the. judge delaying the opening to let stenographers type- write his remarks. Judge Feels insulted. Raulston referred to the session of Friday, when “this court was treated with contempt and insult,” by Dar- row. Raulston read a copy of the collo- quy he had with Darrow, in which Darrow said the defense didn’t ex- pect the judge to rule in favor of their motion and that their only pur- pose in the local court was to com- plete the record so they might “find justice in another court.” The colloquy follows: “I hope the attorney doesn’t mean to reflect upgn this court,” the judge had said, hesitatingly. “The court has the right to that hope,” Darrow retorted. “The court has the right to’ do something else,” the judge added, his face turning deep red. Darrow shrugged his shoulders, hitched his suspenders and said: “Oh, all right.” Judge Sheepish; Darrow Unconcerned In referring to the conversation, the judge said there had been “in- sults and outrages in court and in- sults against my state.” “The court has withheld action un- til passion is subdued before taking . action,” Raulston said. “Mr. Darrow has shown disrespect not only for my court, but for my state.” “I feel that further forbearance will cease to be a virtue and in an effort to protect the dignity of my court and the dignity of my state, I hereby order an instanter citation against Clarence Darrow for con- tempt.” ‘ Thruout the contempt proceeding the judge looked worrfed and em- barrassed. While Darrow questioned him about the bond, he faced away from the Chicago attorney. Mean- while, Darrow acted as tho some one had told him of a grammatical error in a last year’s speech. The contempt proceeding fell upon the mountain audience like a bomb shell. There was a gasp of surprise and when the judge set bond at $5,000, a second audible gasp ran around the room. Largest Bond Ever Asked. Lawyers in the courtroom said the $5,000 bond was the largest amount of bail ever asked for contempt in the annals of American jurisprudence. It shocked the defense attorneys. The contempt proceeding passed like a thunderstorm and attorneys im- mediately began an argument over the reading of the statements from defense scientists. Attorney General A. Thomas Stew- art opposed the move, declaring the defense attorneys were only seeking to get publicity. “There can be no possible reason for this action,” said Stewart, “ex- cept for furthering this educational campaign or spreading propaganda as I call it. It will take three days to read these statements,” Afraid of Contamination, This provoked Arthur Garfield Hays, of defense counset. “Justice is more important than time,” Hays retorted. ‘ “I don’t want to see the court turn- ed into a chautauqua or summer school,” Stewart countered, “Are you afraid we'll contaminate anybody?” asked Hays. “It costs us more to stay here than it does you, afd it never harmed anybody to hear. new’ thot.” ; i This. brot William Jennings Bryan 5 into the argument.
