The way the yworked shows conclusively collusion with the bosses. It also brings out clearly the fact that these fakers have insidiously converted our once militant local into a camou- flaged company union. It was under the guise of creating more jobs that these fakers managed to put across their latest trick. They began a loud lamentation for the men that are being displaced by the rationalization of industry. | They pretended they were deeply concerned for the street carmen that also being displaced by the introduc- tion of buses all over the country, suggesting that the introduction of an eight-hour day would create more iChiang-Kai-Shek Just A Bit Previous in His \Claim “Revolt Ended” Shanghai dispatches sating that |Chiang Kai-shek declares that “re- volt has ended in China,” beat other |dispatches contradicting’ this idea fabout ‘six hours on Thursday. | Exen Chiang Kai-shek admitted jthat “Communist or Red troops” still were active in Hupeh province, j were thought to have units through- out the Yangtze valley and were ex- pected to give the government seri- ous trouble.

An amend- ment to the motion that we also in accepting the eight-hour schedules, also that the sretch-ou be limited to 10 hours, was deliberately ignored by the chairman. Well, sample eight-hour schedules have been posted and the men ca- joled into accepting them. The “lay- out” of the runs are worse than the nine-hour schedule we are working at present. Many of the runs are stretched out from 11 to 13 hours and are of three swings. Not only does it mean a cut in wages of a dollar to $1.50 per day for all of the men, but no new men need be employed because no new runs have been created, except a few rush-hour“ trippers,” which are generally worked by disciplined men. It also means that we will have to do the same amount of work in eight hours that we are now doing in nine. Well, the question is, how are we to fight these misleaders of ours? Our brothers in Buffalo, Philadel- phia, New York and New Orleans have been sold out and so were we sold out in 1924 in order that the delegates to the republican conven- tion might not be inconvenienced. My answer is, street-car workers, get together and form station com- mittees, then elect a central co mittee. Start agitation for an in- crease in wages, for straight eight- hour runs, convert our disguised company union into an_ idustrial union by organizing the buss, line, shop, yard an dtrackmen into our union. Then we will be in a posi- tion to flout the order of the Su- preme Court which denies us closed shop conditions.

(Continued from Page One) resumed his revolutionary work. In 1908 Stalin was arrested again |in connection with an affair of the Babinsky Committee. In prison once more, Stalin was exiled for an- other three years to the Gubernia of Bologodskaya. In 1909 he escaped to Baku, re- |turning to his revolutionary work with an unswerving devotion. This time, too, he was arrested, and tsar- ism vented its hatred in a six-year exile to Solvichegodsk. After one year, Stalin escaped to St. Peters- jurg, but before several months elapsed, he was arrested while on the business of the Central Commit- tee of the Party. Several months more of imprisonment, and again three years of exile in Bologodskaya | Gubernia. In December, 1911, Stalin made another successful escape. But in April, 1912, he was again exiled, this time to the Region of Narym- sky. By September, he was again! in St, Petersburg. | Another breathing spell of intense | revolutionary work until March, 1913, when he was again arrested and banished to the Region of Tur- “lukhansky, to the little village of! Kureika, in the Arctic circle. And here he stayed until the Revolution in March, 1917. After the March Revolution, Sta- lin became the editor of the “Pray- da,” the “Worker and Soldier,” the “Workers? Path,” and the “Worker. In 1919-1920 Stalin was People’s Commissar of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Inspection. In 1920-1923, he was a member of the Revolution- ary War Council of the Republic. For his war services, Stalin received the Order of the Red Flag. He is a member of the Executive Commit- tee of the Communist International and of its Presidium, Build Up the United Front of | the Working Class From the Bot- tom Up—at the Enterprises! |leadership. er union leadership. | Albert Weisbord, former secretary of our union, opposed our whole policy in the South and in particular the slogan of the right of workers to self-defense. He fought publicly | against the line of our union, and resigned his post right at the peak of the struggle in and around Gas-| tonia. It was necessary to remove him, Ellen Dawson, a former membe: of the executive board, not only failed to carry out the instructions of the executive board but wrote an article against our union in an enemy paper. Eli Keller, who replaced Weisbord | as secretary, supported Dawson | against our union and failed to carry | out the tasks assigned to him. It has been necessary for the ex- ecutive board to take the necessary disciplinary steps against these ele- ments to protect the integrity and unity of our union, 7) The impermissable position taken by these elements springs from | their lack of faith in the working | class and in their failure to under- | stand the great radicalizing effect | upon the working class, and especi- | ally the terribly exploited textile workers, of capitalist rationalization | and the burden of the increasing mil- itary preparations of Wall Street government, The great tasks which face our union as the leader of the struggles of the textile workers cannot be car- ried out unless we at the same time struggle against, expose and deprive of their power to do harm, all such elements as those mentioned. x Fight Opportunism. Opportunism is the deadly enemy of the textile workers as it is of the whole working class.
