Utica Press Announces Mother Bloor’s Arrival. UTICA, N. Y. (By Mail).—Mother Bloor arrived here this morning on her coast-to-coast tour for the DAILY WORKER. The Utica Daily News, remembering her as the leader of the picket line in the Savage Arms plant strike during the world war, announ- ced her arrival on her spectacular cross country trip for the DAILY WORKER in a boxed story advising its readers where the meeting was to be held. “It doesn’t matter if the police are also present” Mother Bloor announced. “I'm used to seeing them in every town I go and I know all 57 varieties of them. Despite interference the workers in this town are going to hear about Communism and the DAILY WORKER, and that’s that.” She concluded saying: “I am too busy making Communists and getting subs .for the DAILY WORKER to worry about anything else.” ———___. Slipping It Over The Kalamazoo convention of the International Typograpihicut Union rescinded the action of the Quebec convention in 1921 favoring “the amalgamation of the various printing trades unions to the end that there be but one ttiion in the printing industry.” The action Was taken without debate and the motion to rescind passed unan- imonsly. This move was engineered by “President James M. Lynch, the ultra-reactionary who returned to’power in the I. T. U. in the last } election. The convention was entirely under his control and“there was not even a peep out of the so-called progressives. Lynch, at one time was in favor of industrialism as opposed to craft unionsim, according to the Jndustrialist, organ of the Printers’ | Industrial League of New York. Those who supported Lynch in the election which bronght him to power, under the impression that he was a better choice than Howard who ran on the progressive ticket, probably now realize that Lynch’s smooth way of working for reaction is much more efficient and hence much more dangerous. than the stupid and bull-in-a-China-shop methods of fakers like Major L.

In the expulsion of Lore from the party and the re- moval of Comrade Askeli from the editorial board of the Tyomies, the convention indicated that the fight against opportunism will be intensi- fied in our party in the future. We pledge otr support to this campaign. The conference declares that the act- ivities of the Loreistic group in the Jewish section represented by Saltz- man, London, Siegel, Wiener, etc., have been an obstacle to the growth of the Communist movement among the Jewish speaking workers, and to the Bolshevization of the Jewish sec- tion, The conference therefore de- clarés that a determined campaign must be carried on fm the Jewish sec- tion against Loreism ) that the first prerequisite for the su of such a campaign is that ‘of those who have been leading. the Jewish section shall elected into the Bureau of the Jewish section.

We declare our accept- ance of the decision of the Communist International and that we ‘will loyally support the Central Executive Com- mittee elected on the basis of that de- cision in carrying on the work of the party. The conference is of the opin- ion that the majority in the party con- vention accepted the decision of the Communist International and carried it out ‘in’ ‘a responsible Communist manner worthy “of loyal followers of the Comintern!“ The Conference de- clares that the best interests of the party and the solution of the party crisis‘ require harmonious cooperation between the former majority and min- ority and a united fight by them against the right wing. This resolution was unanimously adopted, the comrades named in it, who were delegates the convention, voting for it. A resolution endorsing the appeal of the former majority of the Central Executive Committee of the party against the decision of the Commun- ist International was ruled out of order by Ruthenberg who declared “The comrades have a right to appeal to the Communist International for re- viston of its attitude toward them, but this appeal cannot be made an issue in the party and the Central Executive Committee will not permit it to come before the units of the party for; action.” Jamestown W.
