MILITANTS ARE EXPELLED FROM JEWELRY UNION Welfare Club Growing Stronger (By a Worker Correspondent) It’s a long time now since the re- actionary “socialist” cliques, in con- junction with the corrupt A. F. of L. officials started the drive against the progressive elements in» the trade unions. They smashed union after union in their dastardly attempt to rid them of the militants. Brother Beardsley, organizer of Lo- cal 1 of the International Jewelry Workers’ Union, the local of the plat- inum and gold mechanics, was busy helping in their “noble” work wher- ever he could, But not even his own ! local was able to stand such treacher- ous work. For this reason he could not do more than raise some noise against the ‘Reds.” Now, however, the “prodigal son,” Beardsley, who withdrew from the A. F. of L.'during the fight against the corrupt international secretary- treasurer, Greenstein, has returned, together with the locals which once also withdrew, to the fold of the A. F. of &. He likewise decided that he must earn a name in the inner circles of the yellow union, So the game }eyan: He made a move to organize a jew- elry workers’ welfare club and work- ers in allied trades. In other words, a mutual-aid and social club. This club was illegal in view of the fact that in 1926 we passed a resolution to forbid the formation of groups to discuss local union questions. That the club did not discuss such questions did not matter to Beardsley and his right wing clique which mis- leads the local. In their argument they pointed out that the club was a menace because it might discuss local union questions and that it might have an opposition slate in the elec- tion, so it’s illegal anyway. The ac- tive members of the club were not given a chance to answer all their “arguments” and now Beardsley & Co. are kicking the life out of the union, Brother-Abe Rubin, one of the most active members.of the local for years, has already been expelled for this “crime.” The writer of these lines, a member cf good standing since the inception of the: union in 1915, is slated to be pushed out. With us sev- eral other active members were called before the (Inquisition) Executive Board. Ali were expelled. That the resolution which they drew up is con- trary to the rules of the constitution and illegal from ‘every point of view any logical member can see, but such trifles don’t disturb the sleep of the “democratic” s. p.-ites. However, the expelled members are not going to bow to the vicious union- wrecking acti of the reactionary clique. We will insist on our right to membership in the union and are confident that in a short time that the rank and file of the local will see through this dirty game and will interest of our mutual bosses. The Jewelry Workers’ Welfare Club grows rapidly despite the at- tacks of the yellows and will con- tinue to spread its influence among the workers of the jewelry and its allied trades. We will have our first pienic on Sunday, July 15, at Inter- state Park, for which an interesting program is being arranged. CHARLES SWARTZ.

P. Morgan and Co. in 1917- 18 in the so-called city of brotherly love? How are they faring? Are the much feted heroes of “the war to end war” properly appreciated by the great government of Andy Mel- lon ten years later? There have been murmurings and sligh, rumblings of discontent. It seems that about two years ago many men were thrown out of work and that the number has been constantly increasing. And the fact that a man gave part of his chin or part of his thigh to “make the world safe for democracy” and incidentally to pile up profits for the capitalists doesn’t help him to get a job or to hold one. These murmurings have increased and today an explosion burst forth —in the capitalist press. What the weary, job-hunting veter- ans have known for a long time could no longer be kept quiet. One Samuel J. Karsevar spilled the beans. It became known that the |situation is so bad that the organi- | zation called the “Veterans of Foreign Wars” has been compelled to establish }an employment bureau to show the \veterans that some sign of interest is being taken in them. Despite the well-known antipathy and fierce dislike of many, in fact of the majority, of the veterans to be in any way connected with veterans’ or- ganizations, 1,784 men applied for jobs. And out of this number only 117 were placed, according to Kar- sevar, who charges that many manu- facturers and business people flatly refuse to cooperate with his employ- ment bureau. Now that so much publicity has suddenly been given the situation, it would be interesting to know what number the 1,784 applications for work has swelled. But those who {know their Philadelphia know that both Karsevar and the local press will | keep positively mum in the future. \|No Tip--Center Barher Shop NEW: WORKERS CENTER 26-28 Union Sq. i 1 Flight Up i NEW YORK CITY Individual Sanitary Service by Ex- perts. — LADIES’ HAIR BOBBING SPECIALISTS.
