DETROIT LABOR
CONFUSEDOvER
ENDORSEMENTS
Mixup After Rejection
of Communist Plan
BY CYRIL LAMBKIN.
Especial to the Daily Worker.)

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. a.
The political policy of the lead
ers of the organized labor move-
ment of Michigan, which at
first appeared to be merely con-
fusionist, is now proving to be
consistently reasonable.
One after the other of the So
called progressives endorsed by
organized labor are proving
their enmity to labor, yet the
labor leaders instead of repu-
dating them seek to justify
their own position in supporting
them.
Endorsee Backs Coolidge.
At the time the Detroit Federation
Of Labor endorsed Herbert Baker for
governor it passed a resolution
roundly condemning Coolidge But
shortly after his endorsement by the
Detroit Federation Baker endorsed
Coolidge. Senator Couzens who was
also endorsed by the Detroit Fedora
ton Of Labor and the Progressive
Voters League also came out for
Coolidge. And now John w. Smith
who is endorsed by the same leader
ship for mayor of Detroit, immedi-
ately following his endorsement by
the Street Garments Union stated in
reply to question of an interviewer
that In his opinion the chief purpose
OF the recent demand of the Street
Garments Union for higher wages was
to embarrass and discredIt municipal
ownership and operation.
When the real progressives, the
delegates to the Detroit Federation of
Labor who are members of the Work.

OF labor to function independently in
the campaign the erstwhile progress

front could be achieved only by get

called progressives. Actually in
stead Of united front there was Gre

ion leading directly to treason. The
Railroad Brotherhoods and the Street

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-De-
clining to become what they
call "a tail of LaFoIIette," the
Architectural Iron, Bronze and
Structural Workers. Union of
this city informed the New York
conference for progressive poIit-
ical action that it would not
participate in its convention.
LaFollette Won't Bring Party.
The workers in this union
reaffirmed their adherence to
the formation of a genuine
labor party and denied that the
hopes of some labor unions that
a labor party would be born out
of the LaFOllette movement
would ever be realized.
The letter which was sent by the
union to H. J. Chapman, chairman of
the Greater New York conference for
progressive political action reads as
follows:
My Dear Mr.. Chapman:
Your communication, inviting us
to the monthly meeting of Confer
ence for Progressive Political Ac-
ton, has been read at our Execu-
tive meeting, and | was instructed
to inform you, and thru you, the
Conference, that the Architectural
Iron, Bronze & Structural Workers
Union is not in favor of being a
tail of LaFollette, or any other
such progressive movement.
For United Action.
That may be true, that there are
number of Labor Unions that
hold, that thru this action Of indors-
ing LaFollette, a Labor Party will
be born in the United States. We
do not believe this to be the re-
suit; however, we are for united ac-

A convention has been held
lately, that had for its object this
very principle, and it was the pro

you and LaFollette that have OBJ

political factor in the life of the
American Labor masses.
We believe that the time will

No sooner than it was an

an order for 10000 copies for a
special Chicago edition preced-

have ordered 10000 admission
tickets for good measure.
But Milwaukee is not to be
outdone. Before receiving news
of this special edition they have
requested prices on a special
Wisconsin edition of at least
10000 copies. And details sent
them may even induce an in

the special edition is "a whale of an

Hodgson complains that he is
