(President A. J. Fischer and Will- iam Hartley of Dist. Council 9 are with using $50,000 of the union’s funds for speculative pur- poses. Ed. Note.) “We are all human,” continued Sil- verman, “Suppose they did gamble on Wall St., with the council’s money? Why not give them a fair chance?” A fair chance for parasites, who, instead of fighting for the members’ interests rob and betray them instead. The hall was packed with painters. It was a hot night. All were perspir- ing. One after another the workers got up and expressed their bitter feelings against the traitorous actions of Silverman and his gang. _ 8 The painters of New York must realize that their union is in a critical | condition. Soon the workers will not be able to make even a miserable liv-| ing. We must begin to act. We must save our union. (Continued from Page One) one hour speech of Gold.
