(By mail). — | Speaking before the meeting of the Machinists’ Union, Local No. 66, the | International Organizer Schoenberg complained about the lack of response ‘ on the part ot the workers, Only a few of them respond to the call to attend orgenization meetings, he said. He expected to find the workers of this city more militant, more radical than in other cities, but it is quite the opposite. Those who live in Milwaukee are not surprised at this. The “socialist” fakers contrelling the labor movement here have sapped it of every trace of militancy. No attempts are made to develop an organization campaign among the great masses of the unor- ganized workers. Wages here are at the lowest level. Hours are long. In the big manufacturing plants like the International Harvester, Nash Motor Co., Allis Chalmers, A. O. Smith Co. the night shifts are working twelve and more hours while thousands of unemployed are looking for jobs. Whenever there is a struggle by the workers themselves to establish an organization or to defend the existing union, the “socialist” fakers content themselves with meaningless speeches instead of mobilizing the entire labor movement for the support of these struggles. No action was taken by the Federated Trades Council in sup- port of the locked out Amalgamated | members in the Adler clothing shops. In our urion, the Machinists’ Local No. 66, the business agent is a “so- cialist.” At our last meeting he was opposing a motion from the floor to instruct the delegates of the union to the Federated Trades Council to re- (By «a Worker uation exercises. The program was introduced with the playing of a march. The gradu- ates entered a small auditorium dec- orated with American flags. The girl graduates were dressed in white while the keys wore black. Those astonishing, curious, happy and sad faces reminded me of people in a theatre waiting anxiously to see what would happen next. The neat in the auditorium caused many disturbances. Here and there fans were raised by many in the au- dience, handkerchiefs were taken out to wipe the sweat from their faces. On the platform were seated a group of people. Among these honorables were some well known Wall St. bankers, million- aires, members of manufacturers’ as- sociations and delegates from various unions. The program was begun by the welcome of our principal, “Mr. Rit- ter,” to all our guests and graduates. He introduced as first speaker Mr. Seigel, weil known in Wall St. and director of continuation and evening schools. He told us some trash and appealed to the labor betraying “un- ionists” to grant us apprentice books free of charge, which would force us to work for less than a union man, in other words to lower the standard of living. The second speaker was also a well known Wall St. man and in addition vice-president of the board of educa- NEEDLE TRADE SCHOOL CONTROLLEE BY BANKS Correspondent) It was a recent Thursday evening when the thing occurred.

Of course we had many left wing sympathizers there but they could do nothing for the place was sur- rounded by police and plain-clothes men, who were ready to bounce us if we should show any signs of protest. Although they could do nothing much they chowed their dislike by buzzing while the different capitalist speak~- ers addressed the audience. After all the hardships we over- came in listening to all those speak- ers our principal introduced yet an- other speaker: Miss Cohen of the In- ternational Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union. She spoke a great deal, but I didn’t feel as disappointed as the rest when she didn’t mention a work concerning organization of the’ unorganized stu- dents and graduates of the trades school. 1 As usual the graduation was closed by the pledge to the flag. To me it did not seem as a successful gradu- ation but as a dismal failure.
