SAME LEADERS SERVE
RADICALS AND VETS
Record of Bohm and Bagley of the
Central Federated Union of
N. Y. Is Wet and Radical
ANS WERS WET CLAIM
Men Who Engineered No-Beer-
No-Work Move Allied With
Crowd to Hinder War Work

The same dscredited labor ele-
ment in New York City which inaugu-
rated the Inflated mo beer, no work"
movement is now lending encourage
ment to the radicals who are now
: recommending organized labor to re-
sort to violence. This is the best
answer to the statement that has been
put forth that Prohibitionists are back
OF the !. w. w.
New York City newspapers on No
vember carried column articles
emanating from the headquarters OF
the Central Federated Union OF New
York City, the concern OF which
Ernest II. Bohm is secretary, outlin-
ing how this centralized union
planned financial support OF the or
ganized steel strike and was bringing
Mr.. w. " Foster, a former I. w. w.
worker, to make an address to mass
meeting in Madison Square in New
York City. This is the same FEEDER
ated Union OF which Mr.. Joseph Bag
ley is an official, representing the
Franklin Pressmen's Union. The
record OF these two men connects
them with the radical movement. Mr.
Ernest Bohm, is the secretary OF this
Central Federated Union, and is said
TO be responsible for the publicity mo
out concerning the coming meetiA a
on behalf OF Foster. This is the sart
organization which on August IS,
1915, engineered the Cooper Union
meeting in New York, which meeting
adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, That we call upon or
ganized labor throughout the
United States to consider gem
eral strike among those indvid-
uals employed in the production
of ammunition and food supplies.
1t will be noted that this was a
move to cut off the supplies of am
munition and food in this country, a
move made in the interest of Ger
many. In June. 1915. this same Ern-
est Bohm aided in the organization OF
L-abor's National Peace Council of
which he was treasurer. This was a
pro-German organization inaugurated
to stop the manufacture and shipmentl
of ammunitions to Europe, which or
ganization became defurNt in Decem-
Der, 1915. after various 81 its officials |
were indicted by the United States
for the instigation of strikes among
the muniton workers. This is the
same Ernest Bohm also in the
same Federated Union which sought |
to disrupt the labor organizations in
this country last summer by inaugu
rating the so-called mo beer, no
work" propagandism.
eph Bagley also of the same FEEDER
ated Union which is bringing Mr..
Foster to New York and backing his |
propagandsm, who declared, Take
our beer away from us and we'll take
the government away from you."
1t is the same Bagley also who said
on October II, 1918, "The world is
ripe for a revolution and the sooner
we get it here the better. We should |
have had our strike when they passed |
the espionage and CONSUMPTION acts.
1t is time we went back to our or
CARNATIONS and told them to stop
work now. If we starve let's break
into the grocery stores"
Now these same leaders arc adver-
Using Fosters coming to New York !
to address this big mass meeting.
In the meantime the vets whom they
serve are raising the false alarm that |
Prohibition and Prohibitions are di-
recting the radical movement in the
u. S. And all the while the ones they
are representing are attempting to
spread the false statement that Prohi- |
bitionists are backing the |. w. WIS. !
