Bogus Ballots.
According to official" returns the
entire ticket of the progressives was
beaten But how this was done can
be gathered from the fact that Frank
Johnson, ecretary-treasurer of the
Waller local captured over 500 bogus
ballots at Buckner Saturday and has
them securely locked up in a bank
vault. It is also known that a certain
harrington henchman went to the same
printer with a request to print 5000
extra copies of the official ballot. The
discovery of the bogus ballots at
Buckner is positive proof that he had
his order filled.
Expecting that such a stunt would
be pulled off, Secretary Johnson put
a secret mark on the bonafide ballots
after he got them from the printer
The ballots captured at Buekner were
iunmarked.
Mass Meeting Called.
There is a big mass meeting called
at West Frankfort for ten O'Clock

HUTCHINSON CANS
ORGANIZERS Who
LOST HIM VOTES
No Good If They Can't
Steal Election
BY ANDREW OVERHEARD.
Especial to The Daily Worker)

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 17.-As a re.
ward for failing to deliver the votes
of the Detroit locals to his majesty
King Hutchinson, all the local organ.
izers who were on the payroll of the
general Office will be laid off.
The organizers not only failed to
deliver the votes to Hutchteson but
failed to prevent Rosen, the progress.
sive candidate, from carrying Detroit
Rosen carried the election here with
a majority Of about 40 over Hutche-
son. so naturally the organizers have
failed to do their work, hence the re
ward. .st
The district council OF carpenters
here has been under the direct super
vision of Hutchinson until the present
time and the charge OF the situation
has been placed in the hands of VIM
Botterell, an old servant OF the ma
chine, and relative of Hutchinson
by the name OF Alger, who was ap
pointed organizer after having been In
the union for two months.
1t is to be remembered that one Of
the principal attacks against the pro
gressives was that Rosen had not beer
long in the organization. and other
similar cries which, however. were
not applied TO the machine men. The
progressiyes are determined to keeI
up their good work here. It 10 as
sumed that the Jewish local. which
cast 11S votes for Rosen against two
for Hutchinson, will maintain Their
organizer. Detroit has proven that
the carpenters will forge ahead fol
progress in spite Of all paid lickspit
ties OF Gear Hutchinson.
