They are Kramer, Pustayand Bor-| odkin. The official charges against these workers were that they be-| longed to the T. U. U. L. Therefore, | they cannot belong to the A. F. of} L. union. The right wing clique put over this niece of dirty work. The reason why | they did it is because the workers} began to follow the left wing speak- | ers at the meeting. The three ex._| pelled members were amiong those | who fought against the union lead= | ership when they presented the: bosses} with a 10 per centowage cut. These)" three members constantly exposed the | misleadership, corruption and the} sell-out of the last strike, when they} lost the majority of the shops.

With this expulsion the lead- | ers of Local 76 disaffiliated them- | selves from the large mass of workers jin the trade. This local is still exist- ling on the few thousand dollars ir |the local treasury, which will b squandered by the bureaucrats in o | short while, ‘The workers have long since los | faith in Local 76 and the Upholste: ers’ International.
