of the entire membership" slap the
membership in the face so far as rep
is concerned. The R. /.
A. G. asserts that their later Qualil.
cation of a representative convention
by insisting that delegations must
comply with Article Five, Section
Four, Paragraph "a" is fiat contra
diction of their nice words about the
rank and file taking charge, and con-
stitutes not only piece of "constitu.
tional evasion and hypocrisy, but is
an ominous danger to unity as it af-
fords the Rowan-Bowerman group,
searching high and low for an excuse
to split or seceed, with color, how.
ever false, of justification.
1t is. time the l. w. w. did away
with constitutional safeguards" as
substitute for sincere, revolutionary
and experienced leadership.
The r. I. A. c. urges all dele
gates to meet in a pre-eonVention
meeting and overcome the resist
anee of Doyle and Fisher or any
other elements which bar delegates
really representative Of member
ship from full voice and vote. At
the same time, It will denounce any
delegates as dsrupters of the |.
w. w. If they withdraw in any
split or secession should the ma
jority Of the delegates uphold the
contentious of Doyle and Fisher.
There must be unity whoever is
sustained.
The Red international Afiliation
Committee endorses 100 per cent the
sentiment expressed by ]. A. Griffith,
speaking for the five elected G. E. B.
members, when he says Industrial
Worker, Sept 81, 1924, that zone and
all must admit that the membership
should have full representation in the
coming general convention" But the
R. l. A. C. points out that this comes
from those who themselves f1outed
the membership by rushing into the
capitalist courts for an injunction to
give them complete control, without
other than constitutional" justifica-
ton for their original demands, and
fatty opposed to every interest of the
organization. Any man or men who,
however constitutional the pretext
drags his fellow workers and a work
ing class organization before the cap
italist courts forfeit every confidence
and should be instantly removed as
leaders whose incompetence or worse
is proven by such an act.
More, it is clear from the tone and
tendency shown in such articles as
VIM. Buchwald's in the General Con-
struction Workers Bulletin No. II,
and the report" of Adolph Vangsness
and Tom Moore in. Lumber Workers
Bulletin No. 43, on July /, that dis
ruptive secession movement was be-
ing agitated before any election from
headquarters took place. Granted
that Tom Doyle was protecting the
mental prostitute or
worse, John Leheney; granted that
Joe Fisher was arbitrary and incom.
petent, those who point the way to-
ward secession from the l. w. w. upon
such grounds are enemies of working
class solidarity untitled for Office.
And still more. Just prior to this
the Rowan-Bowerman con-
trolled paper, the Industrial Worker,
sets out, upon the basis that $50 per
cent of the enrolment of the l. w. w.
is not informed" as to the issues of
the convention, not to inform but to
alarm them with fantastic yarns of
Communist bogey-men, upon the thin
of the fact that there are
members of the I. w. W., some Com.
munists and some not Communists,
who believe as they have a right to
