At the present time more than ever before, the
yellow Traitors commonly called international Of
ficers and Organizers of the craft unions are cry
ing abut Reds, or as they put it. sinister forces
within our ranks"
A yellow labor paper published in Washington,
d. c. and labeled Labor" through mistake, car
ried in the edition of Oct 2, an article entitled
"Machnists Gust O. B. u Delegate from Conven-
tion. Determined to purge organization of Red
RAIDS" p
The article states that no member of the |. w.
W. or the O. B. u can remain member of the
Boilermakers or the Machinists organizations.
Both organizations having expelled men from
their conventions who acknowledged that they were
members of the l. W. w. or the O. B. U.
The article continues '"The International officers
have made inquiries and found that the O. B. U. is
the offspring of the !. w. w. Declaring that both
organizations are made up of two elements, the
impatient radicals who would substitute revolu-
ton for evolution and the paid agents of en-
ployers intent on destroying the solidarity of
labor and that organized labor has more to fear
in the latter than the former, altho both are
dangerous"
The membership of the l. W. W. and the O. B.
u is small continues the article and neither could
survive long if it were not for the support received
from associations of employers through their
agents provocateur.
Irewrite this article for the purpose of showing
up part of their program to blindfold the work
ers and thereby hold on to their leadership and
more important, their salaries do not mean to
say that all international officers and organizers
are crooks for some are as sincere in the cause Of
labor as they can be and yet hold their jobs. But

"Ousting The Reds From The Craft Union"
By H. W. Garner.

do say that the interest of highly paid officers is
not the interest of the worker, the underdog, and
many of them carry line of gab intended to keep
the workers in ignorance for they know that
when the workers become wise enough to change
the Industrial system from wage and profit
system to system of cooperativ ownership of the
industries by the workers, the workers will be the
worker owners and managers, and they, the Of :
ficers, must then go to work, for no labor brokers
will be needed Now it can be plainly seen why
these labor brokers cry out so loudly against the
radicals or Reds as they choose to call them, for
the prgroam of the Reds is to educate the workers
to the revolutionary goal of taking over the in
dustries.
But do they really want to oust all of The Reds
from the craft unions? What would happen to the
unions if the Reds were taken out?
This question was answered during the steel
strike in 1919 by the capitalist press, which is
the official mouthpiece of the masters At that
time the press came out and told the world in plain
words: "Take the Reds out of the ranks of the
steel strikers and we have nothing to fear, we will
soon break your strike" Ah yes, thanks to the
masters papers it told what the master was
afraid Of
During the outlaw switchmen's strike they, too,
were called Reds, w. WIS and Bolsheviks. 1t
is true the switchmen lost their strike but what
did they do? They got an increase in wages for the
rest of the railroad workers.
The wage board was soon appointed, when the
rank and file took matters into their own hands.
