This refers to a $15,000,000 combine now being executed by the hosiery manu- ‘facturers and banks in Philadelphia. ‘The large consolidations of the em- ployers should be met by the union with the inauguration of a campaign to organize all the workers in’ the industry, skilled as well as unskilled, the union membership ~ declares. | “Otherwise, this powerful machine of the employers will succeed in smash: ing the organization with thelr in- evitable concerted drive against us,” the workers warn.

P., and as (2) no member of the Communist Party may by o¢ become a member of the A. L. P., in- dividual members of the Austvaliar Labor Party are prohibited from ad- voeating the policy of the Commun-/ ist Party.” i It is explained that this dectsior, means, in effect, that a member of! the Labor Party may not be a me / ber of the Communist Party, and he} must not propound Communist doe | trines under penalty of expulsior} from the ranks of the Labor Porty For a long time past, Communis: have been demanding the right to enter the A.
