> FORMER HEAD OF HEAD OF : (| MINERS UNION. | IS SCAB HERDER Is Agent. for Mellon’s Pennsylvania Mines (Continued from page 1) Andrew Mellon attempts to reopen on on the basis of company unionism and the 1917 scale. Was Kicked Out in 1911, McCullough was cast out of official position, along with President Tom L. Lewis, in the convention of 1911, Now both he and Lewis are with the enemy: Lewis as secretary of the New River Operators’ Association of West Virginia whence smokeless coal is being shipped into the former an- thracite markets. And Lewis is cred- ited with the maneuvering by lockouts and evictions that has for the time de- feated the union in that field. Plays Scab Herder. McCullough’s: role as a scab herder today calls to. mind the idealistic speech with which he graced his en- forced retirement in 1911. His prom- ise then.to go back to the mines to work for labor's cause runs as follows in the records of the miners’ conven: tions, “Again, let me hope that each and every one of us who retires from of ficial life. on the first of April will go back to the mines from whence he came and not sell the intelligence and experiénce we have gained while serv- ing you on the other side to help de- feat the cause of labor that has hon- ored us with official positions in the past ... In my opinion when a man leaves our rank and file and goes to work with the natural enemy of the working class, his sympathies and his feelings gradually change because of his environment .. While it is my intention to go to digging coal on the first of April, if some other avocation is selected it will not be selling my services to the capitalists of this country; it will be in the interests of the men’ who are struggling for bet- ter conditions —_ a higher exist- ence.” ' Efforts Are i cinosssetul. Now McCullough is selling his ex- perience to the capitalists he denounc- ed, for use against the miners. All the efforts of the Pittsburgh Coal company have not succeeded in bring- ing in more than’ 890 men, whereas 12,000 are needed. Canadian Shoe Workers’ Strike Is Called Off QUEBEC, Dec. 1—The strike of the en three national unions in the shoe fac-| tories of Quebec has ended.

OUR DAILY PATTERNS (Continued trom page 1) senting the workers eritered into a Peace agreement, despite the fact that some of the most vital demands, like full amnesty and proportional rep- ;resentation’ were not granted by the bureaucracy, Political Discrimination Practiced. “Now, it appears however, that not only is the peace agreement not lived up to, but preparations are being made by the bureaucracy to recapture their good jobs and keep on to those they have; even if they have to split the union. “The membership, according to the peace agreement,-had the right to elect a completely: new staff of offici- als. But having.a, majority of votes in. the old, unrepresentative Joint Board, opposition candidates of Locals 10, 89, 48 were pot,.allowed. on the ballot with tha, exception of four.

Bar Opposition Candidate. “The elections to the convention Were supposed to be safeguarded ac- cording to the peace agreement, by the opposition being allowed to watch the balloting and as per constitution of the international, be present at the counting of the votes. In Local 10 these rights were flatly refused to the oppostion candidates and Sigman did not do anything beyond promising to afford them these rights. In Local 48 (Ninfo) the election objection com- mittee was appointed py) the execu- tive board instead of being: elected by the membership. and the 5,opposition candidates for delegates; to the con- vention were kept off the ballot. “Not only were. none; ofthe sus- pended or expelled members, with the oxception of Locals 2, 9#and 22, not. reinstated, but politieal discrimina- ion and persecution -was :kept up, specially out of town. dn» ‘Philadel- yhia, where the expulsion policy has; eft but a wreck of the organ- zation, a member was ed and ined, barred from union ‘Meetings and union shops for two years” for ‘having distributed a Waflet’ criticiziig the bu- reaucracy. RBMS 65 Fixing Coming Convéntion. “Keeping opponents off ‘thé ballot, fixing elections, is the only'wiy they can be the ‘chosen représéntatives of the workers.’ The big plum’ they are after now, is to fix the. ¢omitig Phila- delphia convention and not having the confidence of 90 per cent of the mem- bership and all their tricks in the big cities not giving them even one- third of the convention,'°'they have been busy organizing small’ paper lo- cals to get delegates!’ Sigman, who Parades as an amalgamrationist, has done more for this sham than’ even his predecessors, The only amialgamat- a Pose s wat as rnfeoe) a yE Be Ses I.

Left Wing in Call to Rank and File THE DAILYYWORKER ing he ‘ever did was to eliminate his opponents. “There is plenty to organize in these small localities, and the left wing has a genuine program to achieve this, but this is not the ob-j ject of the bureaucracy. After they use these locals for convention pur- poses, they forget about them until the next convention. Sigman, who professes to believe in proportional representation, has been busier than any one else to capture conventions| by disfranchising the bulk of the mem- bership with charters. He evidently forgot the lesson the cloakmakers and dressmakers gave him in New York. Control over the union cannot be achieved by fakes and charters. That much he should have learned already. If he thinks that by using the local union charters of Long Island, Jersey City, etc. against the membership of the international, he and the others will keep themselves in office, his throne will remain with the charters and nothing more, Organizes Secret Black-Hand Society. “A skunk cannot change his foot- prints. The old bureaucracy cannot rule except by their old methods. Their promises of reforms are not worth the paper they are written on, unless the members are on their guard and finish up the job. Attempting as they do to impose’ their yoke anew_on the membership, they have created a secret organization called ‘Friends Don’t Worry.’ This organiation is headed by the deposed Breslawer, Hel- ler, Féinberg, Perlstein, Levy and still imposed Dubinsky, Ninfo, Sigman and Antoniny keeping good company. The membership consists of the black old guard of the sluggers, gangsters, deposed petty officials, the fascist group among the Italians, so-called an- | archists and hundred per cent For- wardists. They are well connected with the bosses’ association, with the police and underworld. Thru a prom- inent lawyer at their first meeting, they mapped out their policy which consists of harrassing the new leader- ship of the Joint Board and defy it. Make trouble thru the bosses’ associa- tion and if possible make the next strike a failure. Then if they cannot capture the union, split and create a new one. The same procedure as in the United Garment Workers, only the other way around. Dubinsky, by his threats of withdrawing from the Joint Board and having separate business agents, is carrying out that policy ahead of time. “Fellow Workers! From all this it is clearly apparent what dangers be- set our union. This is no time to sink into indifference, to let up in the Struggle. If we want a united union, one that can really fight and improve our’ conditions in the next gigantic struggle against the employers in the industry, then Sigman and his crew must go! Enuf fakes, enuf of their infamy. Forward to a clean, strong, united union! “National Committee, Needle Trades Section, Trade Union Educational League.” Girl Finds Murdered Youth Under Her Bed New York, Dec. 1—Miss Margaret Pirie, sixteen, found a man—murdered —under her bed. He was later iden- tified as George Nye, nineteen, son of a retired fireman, of the Bronx. He was a friend of Margaret’s broth- er, Gordon Pirie, twenty. The police began looking for Pirie to determine whether he could throw any light on the slaying. Miss Pirie, who returned shortly after midnight after a two day visit with relatives, swooned when she made the grewsome disqovery. The victim’s skull had been crushed by blows from a heavy instrument. Ce- ment sacks were bound about his head. He had been dead two or three hours when found by the girl, physi- cians said. He was clad only in a sailor’s jacket and Dungaree trousers.

The Women’s Trade Union League, Trade Union Committee for Organizing the Negro Workers, Hand Laundry _Ironers’ Union, and International Union of Steam Laundry Workers are the co- operating groups in the big drive. The laundry wagon drivers are like- wise being organized by the Team- sters’ Union. The laundry industry is rapidly changing from a small shop, craft basis to the high-power, large unit with central financing of many laun- dries. The big business combination spirit is forcing the well-organized hand ironers to assist in the organ‘ | ization of comparatively unskilled ma- chine laundry workers who are now among the most poorly paid of work- ers.
