SPECIAL SERVICE
BY REV. DUFFEY
Pastor Will Give Address Sun
day Evening to Commission
Members and Others.
TO DISCUSS LOCAL MATTERS
Civic, Social and Moral Question Will
BE Taken Up in Lecture on
The City.

On Sunday evening Rev. Matt w.
Duffey of the Methodist Episcopal
church Of this city, will give special
sermon, or address TO the officials Of
the city, the members Of the Board
Of Trade, the Civic Improvement
League and others on the subject,
alma, Our Opportunity and Our
Responsibility"
The address will be the outgrowth
of request made TO Rev. Duffey
some weeks ago by very prominent
resident of the city, for a sermon
along such lines, this resident feeling
that Alma people were striving for
the opportunity, but that the respon-
sibilities were being shirked TO a
great extent.
Rev. Duffey has been in close
touch with conditions in Alma since
he came here, having been closely as
sociated with many movements in
Alma, in which he has rubbed elbows
with all classes of Alma people, ano
his handling of the proposition is
certain to be watched with great in
terest by local residents.
Certain il is from the invitations
that he has sent out 70 the members
of the commission, TO the Board of
Trade and the Civic League that his
address will contain vital comment
on social and moral matters as they
affect Alma, from his viewpoint at
least.
Following is a copy Of one of the
invitations which has been extended,
this being the one to the city officials:
"Alma, Mich, February 3, 1920.

Censure The c. G. T.

The total number of local unions having
delegates at the Congress of the Federation is
2,17S; with 6S departmental unions and 35 in
dustrial federations. AS yet therefore the minor
itarian movement is not numerically very strong.
1t is its existence rather than it's strength that
makes the situation significant

ement, on Sunday the 26th of September passed

According to the Amiens' decision, the motion
insists, "the union must organize and absorb the
technicians, and not be absorbed by them, for
fatally, in that case, it is no longer the spirit of
the worker and the communist that remains pre-
dominant, but the bourgeois and hierarchcal spirit
of the technicians"

The French Labor Congress
By Max Worth.

European Correspondent for the Federated Press
The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1920-10-23

The Special Congress of the General Federat
ion of Labor opened at Orleans on Monday, Sep
tember 27-exacty three weeks after the opening
of the British Trades Union Congress at Ports
mouth. The French Congress began with sharp
attack by a revolutionary minority, on the Fedora
tion and it's officers.
Since the General Strike of last May, there
has been large element Of discomfort with the
direction of the Federation This discomfort was
finally focused in minority movement" that
began with regional congress i'll Lyons, and that
was continued at similar conference in Paris,
Marseies, and finally in Orleans The final session
of the minoritarians at Orleans closed on the day
before the Congress opened
At the Lyons meeting there were about one
hundred minoritarian delegates At the Orleans
session, there were delegates from 331 local
unions; departmental unions Qike our state
federations) and industrial federations Qike our
internationally.
The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1920-10-23

ed the Congress of Lyons, "the c. e. T., which
should have moved toward the left, has navigated
the waters of the right, wholly abandoning direct
action, in principle as well as in method"
Minority Wants Action.
1t is action that the minortarians want They
have had enough of resolutions. 1t is in revolution
ary action, the resolution contends and not in af-
filiation with the international of Amsterdam
that the hope of the c. G. T. really lies. There
are. in this resolution, more than two thousand
words, some of constructive suggestion, but for
the most part of criticism and insistence that the
c. G. T. has been failthless to it's traditions
But what to do? The minoritarian finds him
self in this predicament. His group is not strong
enough to control the Federation. Therefore he
has two courses-one, to remain in the Federation
and carry on propaganda there; the other to form
new organization. Moscow has insisted that the
Communists remain in the Federation; La Vie
0uvriere, organ of the Communists, has taken
this attitude consistently
On the other hand, there is strong mov-
ement, particularly in the South, for new organ
ization The capitalist papers hailing this sign
of division with gee The labor press is opposing
it vigorously.
