AT the end of the fifth year had ac-

After that, increased income and midi.

mere seems 70 De cOnhder-
able misunderstanding regarding
the action Of the Metal Trades
council in calling this strike
without referring the question 20
"a referendum vote This is "A mis-
understanding. as a strike vote
was taken the last week In No
vcmber and was forwarded 20
the Pacific coast district council
convention. which decided that
each local council can take It's
own action.
The ballot read az follows:
IAN councils are requested 20
receive and tabulate the vote Of
their respective districts. accord.
ing 20 the laws Of the particular
council. forwarding the results
OF the vote TO the district Eecre-
tnry not later than December s.
1918.
"A majority vote in favor OF
this proposition shall be consid-
cred an authorization by the vari-
Gus councils mentioned herein 10
call strike 20 enforce the above
mentioned original demands
1t VIII be noticed that this
vote clearly gives each local
council power to call a strike
without again referring II to a
referendum vote. However. IL
the employers had offered any.
thing at all reasonable in the
way Of a compromise. II would OF
necessity have had 10 BE- referred
20 a vote OF the affiliated locals.
This condition has been used
by the employers TO the extent
OF having their well-pald fore
men start the circulation OF peu-
tons in the yards. with the In
tent OF causing unrest and dis
sension amongst the men. These
petitions asked that the strike
be deferred until such time as
the -nefnbcrship had had another
chance TO vote on the question.
Many members who have signed
these petitions are appearing at
headquarters asking questions
on the subject. and. after the
whole matter is explained to
them, they have condemned the
actions OF the foremen. and in
some cases the petitions have
been turned in TO the various
unions.
Since this has been brought
TO the attention OF the council.
nine of the affiliated organiza-
uons have had either regular or
special meetings. eight OF them
have unanimously endorsed the
action OF the Metal Trades coun-
Gil This includes all of the
largest organizations. The whole
nine represent membership OF
over $4,000 men. This in itself
Is an indication that the peti.
tons that are being circulated
are not In any way representa-
tive and are. therefore. useless.
Investigation has proven that
coercive means have been, used
TO get the men to sign these
petitions. Several instances
have been cited 10 us where the
various foremen and straw bosses
have told men to sign the pet-
ton IL they knew what was good
for them. These tactics are old
ones to tho men who have been
thru strikes. and are nothing
more than the propaganda OF
the employers TO create unrest
and ill.feeling amongst the men.
