Workers’ Co-operative Camp victory is the fruit of the social | democratic seed. The Saxon elections clearly show the decomposition in the camp of the bourgeoisie, but they also re- vealed weaknesses in our own camp. Our success was not satisfactory, for we have not won the leadership contradictions in Germany, clearer alignment between the bour- geoisie on the one hand and the revolutionary working class on the other. The revolution and the coun- ter-revolution are mobilizing their ranks. The Soviet star will smash the Hakenkreuz! AMALGAMATED JOBLESS REBEL Officials Call Police; Close Union Offices | sere CHICAGO, Ill, July 11.—The ‘officials of the Amalgamated Cloth- | ing Workers have found the ideal way to solve the problem of unem- ployed unjon members—from their point of view. They just expel them from the union. About two weeks ago the unem- ployed workers gathered in the headquarters of the Union for the purpose of going through the usual routine of hanging about the Em- | ployment Exchange waiting for | jobs. Jobs are being handed out by | the business agents to their hench- men, The unemployed workers could no longer stand this. And for the first time these workers called a meeting in the tinion headquarters where cutters and tailors discussed the présént unemployment sittiation | in general, and also tried to work out definite plans to keep the busi- ness agents from carrying the jobs in their vest-poekets and practicing favoritism. This meeting formu- lated a number of deniands to be presented to the union: unemploy- ment insurance be paid as an im- mediate relief, to levy an dssess- ment on the members who aré working, to reduce the wages of the business agénts to $50, jobs be handed ouf by the employment ex- change and not by the business agents. | Call 50 Cops. The meeting was very well at- tended.

They were threatened with being slugged but the workers were not afraid, and so the officials called upon their friends, the police department for assistance. Fifty policemen in riot Wagons appeared at the héad- quarters of the union. They evicted all the members by force. The mem- bers wére not afraid, they were de- fiant. Some expressed the opinion that they will be better off in jail because there they would be as- sured of a place to sleep and some- thing to eat. The police tried to arrest a number of workers, “trouble makers,” but weren’t suc- cessful. One cutter who helped to organize this meeting had his mem- bership card taken away, others were threatened with the same thing. Members who paid for the biuld- ing, and are still paying for it, with assessments for the maintenance of the building, were not permitted to enter it for the rest of the day. One of the cutters’ business agents took it upon himself to dis- band this meeting.
