er ene oe N. Y. FUR LOCALS SEND DELEGATES TO CONVENTION Joint Board Denounces | Violation of Rules Altho the sub-committee of the In- ternational Fur Workers’ Union has| failed to notify the New York Joint Board of the convention announced | for June 13, the Joint Board and its affiliated locals—1, 5, 10, and 15— will, as usual, elect and send de’ gates to Washington so it was a nounced yesterday by Ben Gold, man-| ager of the Board. These délegates will go prepared to} make charges against both the offi- cials of the International, and of the Ameriean Federation of Labor, for} their activities during the 1926 strike,| where they carried on secret nego- tiations with the bosses and attempt- ed to “break” the Joint Board. “The Joint Board is pleased to note that the officers of the International have at last yielded to it demand for a convention in making public the plans of progressive group. Violate Constitution. | “However, it is the first time in the} history of the International Fur! Workers’ Union that the constitution | of the International is so flagrantly | violated. The last preceding conyen- tion set the first week in May as the| date for the 1927 convention. The In- ternational officers arbitrarily disr garded this decision of the highest In-} ternational authority without resort- ing to any of the legal processes pro- vided by the constitution. Thi hus offer additional evidence of their ut-| ter contempt for constitutional and democratic practices. Such is evident- ly the influence of the special A. F. of | L. committee. “In ignoring democratic rule, in dis- regarding the wishes of the member- ship, in considering the constitution | as a mere scrap of paper, the special committee of the A. F, of L. is, inj the opinion of the Joint Board ,act- ing in a manner absolutely contrary to the fundamental principles of the American trade union movement. This sort of procedure will unquestionably | have its detrimental effect on thou-| sands of workers.” The Jcint Board, altho by decree of the International it is suspended, considers this whole procedure abso- lutelyunconstitutional, since the In- ternational did not hold any trial, as/ is provided by the laws of the union. | In discussing the coming conven- tion, which rumor says is to be hous- ed in the American Federation of La- bor building in Washington Gold says: “The Joint Board hopes that the delegates to the coming convention} will be interested in practical union problems rather than in political in-} trigues of the A. F. of L., which has} done very little to build the Inter- national Fur Workers’ Union, but very much to destroy its power. | “The Joint Board delegates will go to the convention with charges against the International officials and some of the officials of the A F. of L. for seeking to break the 1926 strike of the fur workers, betraying the strikers by concluding a seeret| understanding with the manufactur-! ers, for framing up the Joint Board! representatives, for violating the In-| ternational constitution, and, finally, | for seeking to break the Joint Board! and its Locals 1, 5, 10 and 15, andj concluding a secret agreement with the manufacturers, which deprives the fur workers of their gains as a result of the 1926 Mrike. “The Joint Board attaches special importange to the fact that the con- vention is going to be held in the Federation Building in Washington. We undoubtedly appreciate the gener- osity of the A. RF. of L. for granting said Gold the | Flora Anna Skin Ointment for PIMPLES, BLACKHEADS, LARGE PORES freckles, rash, itching skin, eczema Ki stubborn skin trouble of any ind will be banished by use of ANNA SKIN OINTMENT, te 00, Sold on money back guar- antee.

R.; May 16.— Admiral Bristol, newly appointed Commander of the American forces has asked permission of . R. to cross the country on his way to China because his wife’s illness made it impossible for her to stand the ocean trip. Ad- miral Bristol was refused permis- sion to cross the U. S. S.

He has for a long time wanted the job of manager of this local; he has been promised it by the International, but. the members have persistently refused to accept him, and have demanded a manager of their own choice. Now he is to be given his desire—at least so far as the International is concerned, Loyal to Own Union The members ‘have different ideas jabout the matter. They still remain loyal to their own union, and to M. Langer, the manager they chose for! themselves. “ * .
