"ONE BIG UNION"
CONSTITUTION

July IJ.-Ine Edmonton Free Press
asks one big union advocates if they
believe their constitution will be
swallowed by so-called pure and
simple" trade unionists.
The Free Press is the official
newspaper of the Edmonton Trades
and Labor Council. 1t shows that
/ the o. B. US favor the building of
machine unequalled by the tight
est trade union machine evolved
from the widest fancy of o. B. U.
orators.
Under the o. B. U. constitution
conventions will be held every six
months despite the criticism that
trade unionists hold too many con-
ventions.
Think of delegates" says the
Free Press, attending conventions
every six months for the purpose of
electing officers. 1t is joke. Such
intelligence is offered pure and
simple minded trade unionists."
The constitution provides that
the general executive board shall
fill vacancies occurring on said
board by choosing representatives
from the same industrial division.
This" says the Free Press, sis
beauty. 1t is complete autocracy.
1t would work thusly: Johnson,
who is not prepared to turn loose
all he holds and ignore the dictates
of his own conscience is removed by
the machine in the district or cen
trail council. The executive board
appoints their friend Jones.
1T is claimed that there is
complete recall system. The local
unit may withdraw credentials of
any officer, and should the recall
instituted by the local unit be war
ranted, the credentials shall be re-
voked and a request made that the
executive board Immediately fill the
vacancy. The placing and keeping
of this power in the hands of the
select five is made complete"
The constitution further provides
that if a union fails to secure the
sanction of the general executive
board and orders a strike, it does so
on it's own responsibility. The Free
Press says:
"Well, seeing there are no strike
funds to meet such emergencies,
whose responsibility could it be?"
Despite the mass of generalities
about democracy" the o. B. U.
constitution gives officials power
that no trade unionist would dare
advocate. This is shown in strikes
where the central labor council or
district board may refer same to the
general executive board if it is con
sidered of sufficient Importance to
the workers" If the strikers plea
for aid is denied they may ask the
general executive board to act, and
then, if this board considers the
matter of sufficient Importance"
it shall call on the subordinate
boards to again consider the mat
ter, and if said boards then favor a
strike "the general executive board
shall be empowered to call strike
of all affiliated bodies"
Nowhere in the constitution is it
provided that the rank and file shall
have a direct vote in the calling of
strikes-they must listen to speech
es about the future while their Of
ficials decide whether wage and
other movements of these workers
is of Sufficient Importance" to at
tract their attention.
The constitution is a perfect il
lustration of rulership from the top !
with this cheap attempt at auto
crazy camouflaged by attacks on
the bona fide trade union move
ment.

Will Fight for League

The mission sailed on July II for
London. In England the Americans
will be met by representatives of
the British Trade Union Congress.
They will go Immediately to Hol-
land Following the Amsterdam
congress, Mr.. Gompers will visit
France, England and Belgium, and
perhaps one or two other countries.
1t is known that serious opposi-
ton to participation in the Inter-
national Labor Congress in Wash
ington has developed in European
labor movements. The American
mission will fight to the last for
participation in the Congress, but it
is an open question as to whether
majority will vote with the
Americans.
Before sailing, Mr.. Gompers is
sued the following statement:
"The Amsterdam Congress will
be held for the purpose of forming
new International Trade Union
movement, or international Fed
Grafton of Labor.
The first is to form a new In
ternational Federation of Unions
of the various countries and to set
forth the aims and purposes and as
pirations of the toilers of the civil
lized countries of the world and
help in any way and every way
both in economic and legislative
purposes for the betterment, for the
protection and the welfare of the
workers in all these countries.
