Hears
Workers Now

Chicago.-Congresman Berger. who
has had complete charge of the con-
gresional end Of the textile strike in
congress, today expressed his enthus-
iasm over the outcome.
ut is one of the greatest victories
yet achieved for the working class
in this country" he said. when it
is considered that the workers are
mostly unskilled foreigners, with lit
tie or no organization. it is surpris.
ing to find what can accomplish :
when we all get busy.
"This is the first time the workers
have ever had an opportunity to car
ry their grievances to congress. 1t Is
not the last.
Workers Need Representation Il
Congress in future will have oc-
casion to hear from the working
class agains and quite frequently.
Representation is what the workers
have needed for a long time. They
now have 1t and l am sure they Will
increase their representation in the
combing elections.
Speaking of the organization OF tex
tile workers in Lawrence and the
disgraceful attitude Of Johns Golden
to the workers when he defended
the action of the police in Lawrence
efore the congressional hearing, Ber-
ger said:
II am very sorry the textile work
ers'. union and John Golden made
such a poor showing In this strike.
peplores Dual Organizations
"This is the first time that an l.
W. w. union has cen recognized. ]
am sorry to see two declarations Of
working people. but If necessary we
viii have them. / am member Of
the American Federation of Labor
and intend to stick.
"Ail can say is that Golden failed
70 haas useeof the situati9sa. Y pc
the T. W. ". saw the Opportunity
and made use of. it. Golden at 20
time made any attempt to organize
the unskilled workers, and it was
shown that his organization, although
some fifteen years old, had only
about 200 members"
Congressman Berger is confident
that the strikers will accept the set
Element and that the strike Is virtu-A
ally over.

DEATH SHOWS LABOR
LEADER LIFELONG SPY

Y. The accidental death Of Andrew N
Olson, one of the trusted leaders in
the Western Federation of Miners and
the United Mine Workers Of America,
in train wreck near Porcupine, Ont,
Canada, a few days ago, revealed the
fact that he had all his life been g.
traitor to the cause Of union labor,
working as one of the most astute
detectives employed by the Thiel de-
tective agency.
Had he died a natural death the
damning evidence which earned for
him the undying obloquy of union
men and women probably would
never have been found ond he would
have been mourned as one of the
most faithful leaders in the labor
movement. In the wreck, however,
Olson had NO time, Of course, to Sc
crete the papers which revealed him
as spy and a traitor to his fellow
men.

leader among the union men Of the
United States and Canada. He was a
member of the United Mine Workers
Of America and the Western Fedora
ton of Miners. He represented both
organizations at various times in con-
ndential propositions. To him the
union men intrusted their most Inn
portant negotiations with the oper-
ators. They gave into his possession
kilograms from the highest officials
of their organizations and all union Sc
crets were disclosed to him.
When he was dead the union men
discovered that he had been a de-
tective, employed by the mine Oper-
ators, throughout his connection with
the unions; that he had divulged TO
| his employers everything he learned
| from his union associates, and that
while he was protesting to force the
operators to accede to union demands
he was receiving pay from the oper.
ators to serve their interests.

REVOLUTION


Inasmuch as the workers outnum.
Der all other classes IN society, it is
plain that il we were united we could
control government, and it should
show us that the only reason why
We suffer from the evils Of which we
complain is because we are not uni-
ted. It should. therefore be our CON
slant aim to bring all the workers
Of all crafts and caIlings into closer
unity, In the knowledge that with ev-
cry increase in our solidarity there
win come a corresponding betterment
In our condition, for our numbers Is
All that makes us strong and all that
makes our enemies afraid.
In this hope we have Joined in the
following recommendation:
That this convention declare in ia.
yorof unity Of all workers throughout
our sub diserict-unity. on both the
economic and industrial fields unity
on the Industrial field by affiliating
in local central labor bodies, and
unity on the political field BY support
ing a political party having for It's
object the full recognition Of the
workers In affairs Of government, the
abolition Of the capitalist system. and
the giving to the workers the full so
.cia1 value of their toll.
8 That we urge: First. That all To-
cal trades and labor unions join CEN
trail labor bodies wherever they exist,
and form central bodies where they
do not now exist, to the end that the
interests Of one detachment Of the
army ~ ton may eb made the con-
Germ ofsall the others, and thua n m
dustrial disputes, present a solid
front to the employers. And
Second: That all workers affiliate
themselves with the working class POI
litical party, the political party that
stands squarely upon the class strug-
gle. The workers are kept in sub
lection only by their division; and
this division is caused politically by
their desire to vote for friends on.
