Dec. 17—The Shoe Union Amalgamation Convention Sat- urday adopted a resolution against af- filiation with the American Federa- tion of Labor. ‘The resolution recom- mended the establishment of an In- dependent National Shoe Union cp- posed to affiliation with the A. F. of L. or the T, U. U. L. for an indefinite period unless changed by a referen- dum vote of the membership. A storm of applause greated the declaration of Paul Saffagio, chair- man of the day session, warning the clique in control of the Convention that he would fight any tricks which would pave the way for affiliation | with the A, F. of L. “If Mr. Zim- merman and company think they are going to drive us into the A. F. of L., I want to tell you delegates, he is not.” Industrial Union Leads Fight The chairman’s warning came af- ter the Industrial Union delegation had battled against a resolution in- troduced by the Committee calling for an independent national union and demanding that the Industrial Union would go immediately from the T. Uv. U. L The resolution, which had been signed by all members of the Resolu- tions Committee, except the Indus- | trial Union delegates, failed to include any reference to affiliation with the A. F. of L. A minority report sub- mitted by the Industrial Union dele- gates had declared against affiliation with the A. F. of L. Attack of Zimmerman Clique Fred Biedenkapp reminded the de- legates that all decisions of the Con- vention were subject to a referendum vote of the membership and that im- mediate withdrawal from the T, U. U. L. would be a violation of the prin- ciples of the referendum which was made a condition of the amalgama- tion. The ballot voted upon by the membership of the various unions participating in the Convention had stated that amalgamation would not take effect until March 1, to enable the membership of each organization to ratify the Convention's decision by referendum vote. A flood of denunciation against the New York Shoe Union by New Eng- Jand members of the Provisional Committee followed Biedenkapp’s statement. They produced a signed statement by members of the New York Provisional Committee declar- ing their willingness to abide by de-| cisions of the Convention. Delegate Hallett from Boston went so far as to declare the Industrial Union delegation unrepresentative of the New York shoe workers, and at- tacked the leadership of the Indus- trial Union. At this, the New York delegates arouse in a body and loudly protested the statement demanding an immediate retraction, The whole convention was thrown into a turmoil. The New York members of the Pro- visional Committee deciared they had signed the statement with the under- standing that the conditions laid down by the referendum ballot would be enforced and had taken it for granted that a referendum vote would be taken following the convention, to ratify this decision, Zimmerman, who denounced trade union democrecy and rank and file control as “bunk,” | admitted that the question of affilia- tion with the A. F. of L. was elimi- nated at this time, but that they in- | tended to have amalgamation right! now and not wait for a referendum | vote by the membership. He called on | the chair to rule that the convention was a supreme body empowered to overrule any previous decision re- garding a referendum vote, The rul- ing was emphatically denied by the chairman. Following this, delegate after delegate from the New York union arose to condemn the machine politics of the convention and to ex- | press confidence in their leadership, tatement of Industrial Union Sam Ziebel, speaking for the In- dustrial Union delegation as a whole, | said as follows: “Our stand is for accepting the decisions of the convention provid- ed there is no affiliation with the A. F. of L, as well as the T.U.U.L. The structure and principles of the T.U.U.L, are for unity and amalga- mation. This is what the T.U.U.L. calls for. If you (referring to the clique in control) want to make po- litical capital out of am attack on the T.U.U.L., you are only hurting amalgamation. We say if you want another Boot and Shoe Union after amalgamation, we are ceposed. If He read from the T.U.U.L. state- ment of greetings to the membership nemployment insurance. | The convention voted for a resolu-| Shoe Convention Rejects A.F.L.; Hits Arbitration on the position of the T.U.U.L. re- garding affiliation. It was following this statement that an amendment was introduced ruling “no affiliation | with the A. F. of L, or T.U.U.L, for an indefinite period and no changes of decisions except by referendum vote of the membership.” This was adopted. Sam Ziebel, called upon to make a statement regarding the decision of the convention, declared as follows: _ “We abide by the decisions of the convention, not because we believe the T.U.U.L. harmful to the shoe workers, On the contrary, we believe the T.U.U.L. is, in its organization, aims and principles, the real ex- pression of the needs of the shoe workers, We believe that only the 'T.U.U.L. by its militant class strug- gle program fights in the best in- terests of the working class. But at this time, when the delegates are not conscious of the correctness of our policy, and we are not able to convince them on the T,U.U.L, pro- gram, we decide to accept the deci- sion, Hoping that we will be able to convince you at a later time to join the T.U.U.L.” ‘The entire delegation rose in a body to express their support of Ziebel’s statement. Earlier in the day, the convention adopted resolutions calling for Un- employment Insurance and Relief to |the shoe workers and opposing any participation in any N.R.A. commit- tees and to the N.R.A. as a means of winning their demands, except through their own organized strength and power. ‘Fellowship Splits; Ousts Matthews (Continued from Page 1) Council of Roger Baldwin, Director of the American Civil Liberties Union, Walter Ludwig, Director of Pioneer Youth, Francis Henson, sec- retary of the American League Against War and Fascism, Tucker P. Smith, director of Brookwood Labor College, Dorothy Detzer, secretary of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, and others. The tenure of two other secretaries, Charles C. Webber in charge of in- dustrial projects and Howard Kester, who represents the Fellowship in the South, was left in a state of uncer- tainty at the end of the Council ses- sion. The body demanded that they give adequate pledge of repudiating Matthew's position as a condition of their re-employment. So far as is known, neither Webber nor Kester has yet answered the Council on this proposition. It is expected that both will refuse the condition imposed upon their acceptance. The session of the Council had been announced as a decisive one to reach important decisions ostensi- bly based upon a nation-wide refer- endum of the members of the or- ganization, Revlies were received from 966 of the eight thousand mem- bers to whom the referendum was mailed. The Council, which is not @ democratically chosen body, but which this year was elected by 68 out of ten thousand members—these 68 being the only ones who attended the recent annual conference at Swarthmore, Pa—ignored th: rank and file opinions of the members who voted in the referendum. According to the referendum returns 60 per cent of the membership voted against the viewpoint of John Nevin Sayre, but despite this fact he was re-elected by the Council. After the stormy session of the “pacifists,” J. B. Matthews issued the following statement: “There is one important feature of the Fellowship referendum which the Council ignored. The votes re- veal an almost perfect correlation between financial income and com-. plete pacifist aloofness from the class struggle. If the idealistic members of the Fellowship who belong to the owning class were not so blinded by their vested in- terests as property-owners, they would be stariled to find how per- fectly they demonstrate the theo- ries of economic determinism and class struggle. Unfortunately such privileged individuals are rarely startled by anything but the shock- ing thought that they may lose their privileged status; and their moral indignation reaches no high- er heights than when confronted by the suggestion that forcible ex- propriation is the only hope of a decent society. They prove once more what has so often been ap- parent in the class struggle, that pacifism is a device of the privileged to insure the perpetuation of their iN-getten gains, The fact that they owe their security to the police protection of a state completely subservient to their class consti- inutes no denial of their pacifism, but the mildest proposal to coerce them into a surrender of this se- curity arouses in them eloquent pleas for the use of spiritual methods only in changing society. “The Fellowship of Reconeilia- tion is not the only peace organi gation in which this icsue Is to the fore. Pacifist groups everywhere — reflect the same struggle, It is a central issue of the day. “The outcome of the meeting to- miniature the role of the Social Democracy in contemporary capi-, talist society, Mombers of the Coun- belong to the “rightists” of Sportsman and Ornithologist * the director of “Peace on Earth” had cast Joe Bauer for the ammunition manufacturer all the reviewers in the Times and the Tribune and the New Republic would have said the part was an overdone and unwarranted caricature. Joe Bauer is a Rembrandt burgher with two or three hard faclal lines added, he’s a Falstaff without the gift of expression, Years ago when he was still up and coming and confined his research work to the little kitchen in back of his Pet Shoppe, he had his ramified occupations engraved on a sizeable visiting card. His present card is a simple “Joseph Bauer” embossed in tiny, shining black italics. He is a “sportsman and lover of nature,” he Says, “or I should say a jover of na- ture and a sportsman.” Joe Bauer is now one of the larg- est wholesalers of bird and flower seed in the country. His brand is carried by Woolworth’s, Kresge’s and ali the mail order houses. On a smaller but still impressive scale he deals in pets of all description, mon- keys, birds, tropical fish, « Dae ‘HERE is no doubt but that he always did have an obsession with animals, When he was brought to America in the late eighties the first job he got was clipping pups’ tails. This operation he performed by biting them off. Pups’ tails were to Joe what shoelaces were to Otto Kahn or Nathan Strauss or some banker of like extraction; stop me if I'm wrong. Joe Bauer monkeyed around in his pet shop with mixtures of bird seed and with hybrid mutts and parrots for dec~ ades. When my mother, whose cousin he is, came to this country some nine years ago, Joe's sister visited us and said Joe couldn’t come because he had not a decent pair of trousers. She also told a story about how Joe tried to cure a dog by giving him some kind of oil, then he got scared because it was an expensive dog and the oil turned out to be lubricatory, so he drank a gulp himself because if that dog died he surely didn’t want to live. Sm ae 9 UT then he hit upon some bird seed mixture which actually was an improvement and he cashed in on it heavy, as the colloquialism has it. He expanded and employed all his immediate relatives and expanded and incorporated and expanded. He monkeyed around more and tacked his tag on to flower seeds and kept up his interest in “the animal king- dom” and his “feathered friends.” In what are sometimes laughingly re- ferred to as commercial transactions he was assisted by his children, who are no mean hands themselves. To- gether they bought a series of lots in Westchester County, a dozen or so, They bought them at municipal auctions for about a fifteenth of their actual value, but there weren’t any other bidders because only the judge and the Bauers seemed to know about the sale.
