PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 1S.-Cap-
italist papers in the Pennsylvania
mining districts have come out in
great big headlines, screaming "A
Radical Attempts to Invade Miners
Union" John B. Gallagher, interna-
tional auditor of the United Mine
Workers union and reactionary labor
leader, in panic stricken frenzy has
issued two printed circulars Of warn
ing to miners. All because Thomas
Myerscough, a progressive miner, was
seen at union meeting of Mineral
Springs colliery, Local No. 1872.
Stanley Edmunds, former president
of the Woodward Colliery Local No.
500, enlisted the services of the Off
Gals of the Mineral Springs in
search for Myerscough. The officials
of the Mineral Springs, after thoro
search, made life a little more COM
Portable for the terrified reactionary
leaders when they assured Edmunds
that Myerscough was not employed
there.
All this publicity that is given
Thomas Myerscough has started the
miners thinking, and the rank and file
miners are more anxious than ever to
hear what Myerscough has to say.

LABOR SKATES FORM SCAB COUNCIL
when in conflict with their employers
they are exceptionally militant.
The Autocrat Hutchinaon.

when in conflict with their employers
they are exceptionally militant
The Autocrat Hutchinson.
one of the worst autocrats in the la
Dor movement. He is the narrowest
type Of craft unionist. He believes
in crushing every union that will not
bend to his will. His attitude is rule
or ruin. That is, within union cir
Giles. With the employers he is diff
ferent. He believes in class COLA
boration in dealing with them, and
Jurisdictional disputes when dealing
with his fellow unionists. Get the
window trim or strike" is his an
swer to the conflict with the sheet
metal workers. "Set up an arbitra-
ton board" is his answer when in
conflict with the boss, or else he will
sign up an agreement, as he did in
Chicago, without consulting the rank
and file at all.
This tyrannical attitude, however,
does not excuse the setting up Of
dual unions to scab on the carpen-
tiers. Dual unionism is not new in the
American labor movement. The build
ing trades, however, has been singu-
larly free from this destructive man
euver Now they are going the dual
unionists one better-they have or
ganized a dual union to scab on an
other union, while they preach about
the sacredness of craft autonomy.
This inconsistency is natural.
Years ago jurisdictional disputes
were fought out by the crafts involv-
ed. The other unions contenting
themselves by acting in a conciliat-
DRY manner. But now, with the cen
tralization of the industry, the en-
ployers will not allow the other I'M
ions to be neutral They demand pro-
lection against these jurisdictional
fights. The result is that craft auto
nomy in its pure sense is broken
down and the other unions are forced
to take sides.
A board of jurisdic,ional awards is
created, controlled by the employers
They decide against the carpenters
The carpenters quit the Building
Trades Department, the local build
ing trades council, and in many in
stances, as in Kansas City, the 10
cal Central Labor Union. 1t becomes
a per capita as well as a jurisdiction
al dispute. The other unions organ
ize against them. The result is what
we see in Kansas City today.
The Trade Union Educational
League agrees with the carpenters in
refusing to accept this or any other
decision from the Board of Jurisdic
tional Award, but from a different mo
tive. The carpenters officials refused
to accept the award because it was
not the one they wanted. The T. U
E. L. would refuse because it is 9
class collaboration scheme and there
fore, detrimental to the interests OF
the workers. Amalgamation is the
only solution for this problem from
an organizational point of view.
The solution of the whole problem
however, is to turn the militant spir
lit of the building trades workers in
to revolutionary channels To make
them conscious of the class struggle
This is the work of the militants in
the building trades. The class strug
gle versus class collaboration, is
the issue.

the window trim or strike" was
the order from Hutchinson,
which started this stupid inter-
necine war that is becoming
national in scope. And if not
stopped, it will involve the en-
tire labor movement.
On July 10 this scab Carpenters
Union was organized and given B. T..
10. working cards. Sidney Barton, a
discredited Iron Worker, was made
president. He occupied similar po-
sition two years ago when dual un-
ion was organized to smash the plas-
terers. So, as president Of scab
union, he has had experience.
Sidney Barton has stated publicly
that he has been promised moral and
financial assistance from Is Interna-
tional Unions, and that similar scab
Carpenters Unions have been organ
lied in Detroit, Cincinnati, Indianapo-
lis, Topeka, and Forth Worth. He is
also responsible for the statement
that Donlin, President of the Build
ing Trades Department Of the A. F.
of L., has advised Gompers that if the
carpenters are not expelled from the
A. F. of L. that the other building
trades unions will withdraw.
Under Police Protection.
The, members of this scab union are
working on five of the biggest jobs in
the city and are protected by the po-
lice. The carpenters stand alone in
their fight. All of the other unions
either openly support the B. T. C. in
organizing this dual union, or silently
acquiesce in this ruinous struggle un-
der the camouhage of being neutral.
The Trade Union Educational
League is not neutral, be they paint
ers, carpenters, or sheet metal work
ers. They condemn this internecine
war and openly accuse all those &C
tive in it, Donlin, Hutchinson, the B
T. S., and G. L. U. of Kansas City, et
al, of playing the bosses game for
personal advancement. The only
question with these officials is one
of power, per capita tax. The great
er the per capita tax, the greater the
power. Not power Of the union, but
| their own personal power. And in
order to gain that, they are willing tc
jeopardize the interests of the work
ers.
With the Capitalization of the build
ing industry, and the great change
made in construction by modern i'm
proved methods, trade lines cross
each other and unions by craft be
come contradictory, creating confu
sion among the workers, involving
them in struggles against each other
With the present state of develop
ment, the craft form of organization
stands in the way of the advance
ment Of the workers. Their inter
est lies in the qualification of their
ranks.
The present jurisdictional fight is q
natural sequence, not only of the pri
mitive form of organization, but Of
the total lack of social vision on the
part of the rank and file as we'll as
the leaders. 1t is doubtful if there is
any other group of workers in the
American labor movement so lacking
in class consciousness and so imbued
with talistic-democratic illusions
as the building trades mechanics. Yet
