Los Angeles Explosions

General Organizer Muir, FOR the car
penters' union in the Los Angeles dis
trict, uses the police in his fight
against the progressives in order to
remove them as possible delegates to
the coming international convention.
About 13 of the most active members
of the carpenters union have been ex-
PEELED without trial by the aid of the
police because they dared to advocate
amalgamation and Independent work
ing class political action.
All of the expelled carpenters have
been from five to 35 years in the or
ganization, many of whom held Office,
among them the two business agents
of Local 1853, the largest local in the
Los Angeles district. Members of or
ganized labor in general and the car
penters in particular will do well to
investigate why the officials of organ
lied labor work in conjunction with
the police department against mem
bers of the union.
T. U. &. L. Office Raided.
March 1 an educational meeting
called by the Trade Union Educational
league was raided by the police, head
ed by the notorious professional stool
pigeon, Jack Diamond, whose adj
mittedly perjured evidence has sent
so many l. w. WIS to the penitentiary
in California for mere membership in
that organization. Stool Pigeon Dia-
mond did not recognize his regular
I. w. w. crowd, and called up the po-
lice station to see if he was raiding
the proper place, and was told that
Room 291 was the place and to be
sure that no one got away. Thirty
nine were taken to the police station,
where the cat was let out of the bag.
Union Officials, Stoolpigeons.
The police captain did not concern
himself as to what they were doing at
the meeting. All he wanted was the
name, address, the union and union
card number of each worker. He then
called up Secretary Horn Of the CEN
trail labor body, who came down to the
police station with Parker, president
of the Metal Trades council to give the
prisoners the once over This hap
pened on Saturday.
On Monday the police called Secre-
tary Horn, Business Agent Frazier of
the carpenters, and Buell., leader in
the Metal Trades council, a govern
ment appointee on vocational training,
into a conference to look over all the
material taken in the raid and Incl
dentally to give them the names and
card numbers of the men arrested.
Expelled on Police Evidence.

pend nine carpenters locals
which opposed his reactionary
rule.
Would ExpeI Proaressives.
Jensen is further known to support
the recent expulsion of thirteen mill
tant carpenters union members in
Los Angeles for membership in the
Trade Union Educational league, an
organization which advocates amalga-
nation and the Labor party.
Frank Stahl, who seeks election to-
day, declares himself fatty opposed to
expulsion and suspensions for advo-
cacy of progressive principles and
pledges himself toward the protection
of progressive members.
Let us look at what has happened
in Los Angeles and be warned by it:

Muir of the carpenters union came to
the meeting of Local 1853 and demand
ed the immediate expulsion of some
nine members of that local. At this
meeting some Of the material taken
in the raid by the police was distrib-
uted. These men were expelled with
out the semblance of trial The
same has been done in the Jewish To-
cal and in Local 426, until now there
are about 10 old and active progress
sive members who have been expelled
from the carpenters union on evil
dence submitted by the police.
Maehinists, holders Stand Firm.
On the same evidence, from the
same source, the Central Labor coun-
Gil and Metal Trades council of Los
Angeles have notified the machinists
and the molders that they will not
recognize those delegates who were
arrested in the raid, on the grounds
that they are adherents of the Trade
Union Educational league. Both or
these organizations have refused to
recall their delegates, and are right
fully demanding that they and they
alone will decide who shall be their
delegates. This means that progress
sive machinists and molders have
been expelled from these two councils
because they are progressive enough
to advocate amalgamation and labor
party.
Acted as Prisoner Guard.
This is class collaboration with
vengeance and shows the utter bank
ruptcy of labor officialdom. But what
can be expected from such combina-
ton of officials as Muir, Horn, Frazier
and Parker. Horn some time ago was
caught red handed working for the
sheriff of that county, escorting con-
victed l.. w. w. members to San QUEEN
tin penitentiary, his only excuse being
that for doing it he got free ride to
San Francisco and back. His accuser
at that time was Frazier, now bust
ness agent of the carpenters, who was
also one of the men behind the pres
ent raid. Frazier's brother is in the
police department.
Cops and Labor Officials.
1t is surely a rotten mess, when we
see a united front formed between the
police and union officials against the
progressives; when we see a secre-
tary of central labor body putting
his o. X. on the brutal persecution Of
the /. w. w. by volunteering as an
escort to take them to the peniten-
tiary. The difference between this
type and Diamond, the stool pigeon, is
only one of degree.
Just Like Jensen.
The motive behind the activities Of
General Organizer Muir and Business
Agent Frazier of the carpenters union
is the same as that of Harry Jensen,
president of the Chicago Carpenters
District council, when he suspended
all the locals who had candidates run
ming against him for president. 1t is
a struggle to retain power.
The Chicago carpenters are taking
care of Jensen, and it looks as tho he
will be retired to the workshop after
the coming election. In Los Angeles
the situation is a little different.
Some 10 members have been expelled.
Most, if not all, of them would have
been delegates to the coming interna-
tional convention. Now they are APP
pealing to that convention for rein
statement. What are the Chicago car
penters going to do about it?

StahI Pledges
Fight Against
Lands Award
Continued from page u


The first need Of members Of the
carpenters union in Chicago, ls
unity against the open shop employ.
err. That ls my position.
Jensen Bitterly Opposed.
Jensen is bitterly opposed by pro-
uressives for his recent suspension
of nine local unions that opposed
him, for his action last January In
ordering carpenters to work with
scab painters and for his failure to
organize the thousands of carpen-
ters who are working on open shop
Jobs under the direction of the in
famous LandIs Award Citizens Com.
mIttee.
stahI's Record.
Stahl's strength is based on his
record of opposition to the corrupt
machine, for his support Of progress
sive measures as at the Decatur
convention of the Illinois Federation
of Labor last year and for the belief
of the rank and file that he will lead
the fight against the open shop en-
pIoyers and not against union men
who hold progressive principles.
Those Contracts.
Jensen's eleventh-hour effort to
save himself by capitalist press
stories regarding contracts signed
with several contractors is riddled by
Stahl
"Those contracts were signed with
the international president, William
Hutchinson, not with Jensen" said
Stahl yesterday. "Hutcheson was
called in by the contractors after Jen-
sen had failed to get them to sign"
Why the ConceaIment?
Stahl points out the suspicious fact
that the contracts were signed at the
last minute without showing the text
to the rank and file. He wants to
know what is the reason for conceal
ment.
Other unionists bring out the fact
that the contractors whose names Jen-
sen is Haunting we're hiring union
carpenters right along. The question
is whether the new contracts are
along real carpenters union lines or
along Lands Award lines.
That Jensen has been using Lands
Award methods himself at times is
shown by the fact that he has or
dered carpenters back to the job
after they had refused to work with
scab painters and other craftsmen.
This was particularly true of the
church building job at Palmer Square
last January.
Building Trades Divided.
Stahl scores Jensen for his un-
friendliness towards members Of
other building trades crafts. Stahl
points out that neither the carpenters
nor any other building trades group
can fight the boss successfully alone
Open shops, like Western Electric,
where there are many non-union car
penters working, cannot be organized
except by the united action of coun-
ellis of the allied crafts unions, he
shows.

FOR DISTRICT JUDGE

The Republicans OF this judicial
district seem to be practically united
upon the candidacy of Judge Culver
A. Green of Antonito for district
judge regarding Judge Green's
chances for success, the Alamosa
Courier says:
From the standpoint Of 4 candi-

pressed but that Mr.. Green had the
pole position. His county vote will
give him a tremendous advantage

practiced medicine.
A few years later he established a
partnership with DIR. n. II. Chapman
