FAVORITES GET WAGES FOR AID IN FAKE SCHEME Workers Attack Ryan, | Head of Union Indignation of unemployed workers, | members of the International Long- shoremen’s Union of which Joseph M. Ryan is president, has been rising end a result of the severe crisis which has | occurred in the industry. v! been forced to see their officials pick | out certain of their “favorites,” mem- | bers of their ruling machine and give| them wages out of union funds in! payment for a so-called unemploy-| ment relief scheme. Officials Assailed. Thomas F. Dempsey and “Monk” Bergen, both formerly presidents of Local 808 of Brooklyn have met with the special attacks of the jobless workers, These men have been put on the payroll by the Ryan machine at the rate of $8.00 per day for the announced purpose that they are to secure jobs for workers from the ship owners. Local 808, sometimes referred to as the “scab” local, although its mem- | bers are in no Way to blame for this name, was the local which Ryan in 1919 together with T. V. O’Connor, then president of the International and Anthony Chlopeck, who succeeded O’Conner as president, were instru- | mental in getting to “scab” during | the 1919 general strike, At the time Dempsey was the pres- | ident of Local 808 and together with | the others who sought to betray the | strike he worked with the bosses | against the struggle. The workers | who were ordered back to their jobs| were promised a bonus which, how- | ever, was never paid. | Betrayed Workers. The men who betrayed the 1919 strike as well as other struggles of | the workers singe that time are now | on the payroll of the union under | the direction of Ryan in a “fake”! scheme to get jobs for “loyal” men who “scabbed” in 1919. There are no jobs to be had and the bosses are merely preparing to use the situation to make conditions even worse for the workers than they are at present. Ryan, who is also president of the Central Trades and Labor Council, re- cently was instrumental in bringing about the attack on the, unemployed delegation of workers who appeared at the Central Trades recently.
