J., Oct. —| At a mass meeting held at Belmont Park last night by the United Labor} Ticket a resolution was adopted de-| | nouncing the withdrawal from the} mayoralty race of Joseph P. Quin-| livan, independent candidate, who American Stu- | 23. had recently accepted the United | Labor ticket program. The statement sharply condemns Quinlivan, who after withdrawing en- dorsed Mayor Burke for reelection. Burke, an official of the Botany Worsted Mills, was a bitter opponent of the workers during the last textile strike. | | The speakers at t night’s meet- | jing were Gus De candidate for | | coun’ an, second ward; John Dij |Santo, 4th ward, and Felix Panerisi, | third ward. John Marshall, ca paign manager, also spoke. Resolution Adopted. The resolution reads as follows: “The withdrawal of Joseph F. Quinlivan from the mayoralty race in favor of Mayor Burke is a fortunate thing for the working people of Gar- field. We say this not because we jfavor the election of the reactionary | Burke but because Quinlivan’s move | exposes him for what he is; a wolf in sheep’s clothing. “At a meeting in Belmont Oct. 6, Mr. Quinlivan, denounced thé Burke administration for its flagrant waste of the tax payers money and stated! that if Burke was reelected hundred of working people would } homes, due to the Burke tax policy. Now this same Quinlivan is with- drawing from the race in favor of} the man and party he has denounced. | Refused to Be Active. | “Quinlivan dropped out of the race | \for mayor only after we warned him | that he must be more active on the| | labor program. We objected also to | | his creating a job for his ward heeler |Gotthold Rose at a salary of $1,500. | Burke and his backers have no doubt | taken good care of Quinlivan out of | | the booty that Quinlivan formerly | | hinted Burke had appropriated. Burke, Strikebreaker. | “Mr. Quinlivan, who a few days ago, | signed his name to the platform of ; the United Labor Ticket, is embrac- | \ing Burke, the agent of the mill own- |ers, Burke who brought Sheriff Nim- jmo and his gang of deputies in to jerush the strike of the textile work- | ers, Burke whose police force during | the strike arrested some 200 workers | | who were making a fight for better | | Wages and working conditions. | | Back to G. 0.

No matter how | corrupt the leadership, no matter how | treacherous its activities against the} best interests of the workers, it was| gure to get’ but a small fraction of | he membership at conventions. Be-| eause of this arbitr: form of rep-| resentation it was possible for a few | | coneape leaders to entrench them- selves in power and use the union as} an instrument for their persoral ad- | vancement, defying the widespread | demand for an opportunity for the | great mass of our membership to have a determining voice in the affairs of our union. | A Vital Issue. “In the struggle of the Joint Ac- tion Committee the demand for pro- portional representation was one of | the most vital issues. When the work- ers of New York finally defeated the rman clique and forced them to| conclude a peace agreement, one s a ti of | |the most outstanding demands at the about our conference table was to br proporticnal representation “The Sigman clique, which had for | § years arrogated to itself to make the constitution, reject resolutions at its o pose increases of dues and le against the wi and elected itse ever submitting any portant lem, for decision to the member suddenly became champions democracy and insisted that i take upon itself the respor bringing about “such fundamental a e; of not or Board had no objection to tting important matter, including the election of president, sec- retary and vice-president, to a ref- |erendum vote of the membership.

Every time we | taised this question Sigman found a different excuse for delay. He knew] well that if the decision of the con- | venticn would be carried thru it would | mean the end of his bloody regime in| the union. He therefore began to con-| spire to do away with his opponents.
