MILITANT CARPENTERS SUSPENDED

The stupid officials knew that they
could never even muster a majority
vote against the accused militant
members and therefore in complete
violation of this constitutional clause
the president proceeded to pronounce
sentence. He banged his gavel and
stated that five of the accused mem
bers were suspended and the other
five reprimanded. The two members
of the trial board who had refused tc
sign the falsified report OF evidence
attempted to get the floor but to nc
avail. The meeting turned into an
uproar. The members demanding
that the accused be granted a hearing
and that the local union decide the
case. The president ordered the sus-
pended members to leave the hall
They refused and challenged the
president to throw them out inasmuch
as no legal trial had been obtained
Members Charge RalIroadIng.
The uproar turned into bedlam
The overwhelming majority Of the
members shouting to the officials that
they had railroaded the case and that
they were the ones that were destroy
ing the union. The president apply.
ing the celebrated czarist methods o.
the labor takers adjourned the meet
ing, and thus succeeded in making the
railroaded case stick, at least for the
time being.
The members Of Carpenters No. 1S1
are determined that no matter what
accusations are made against any
Iother member that at least the con
stitution shall be complied with and
a regular trial be granted.
Call for Membership Protest.
They must, however, voice an en-
ergetic protest and spare no effort
until such a trial has been granted.
1t would be well to remember that
these are precisely the methods which
have been pointed out by the Trade
Union Educational League that the
labor takers will in all instances re
sort to in order to keep their jobs
and remain immune from any crit
cism. Even tho when they, as in this
case sell outright, the whole mem
bership to the bosses.
Other members of the United Broth
erhood of Carpenters should join their
voices with those of Local 1S1 in de-
handing that the officials according
to the constitution of the brotherhood
place this whole case before the mem
bers of the local and let it decide, be
cause there can be no question of q
doubt that the same fate of railroad
ing will befall all militant member
who dare to stand UP for true union
principles.

Larson who became the prosecutor
In the case conveniently got himself
engineered into the position Of the
secretary Of the trial board. The
members were questioned before this
board. All were asked if they had ever
been inside the Workers Lyceum. on
1888 Hirsch Blvd. where pictures of
Lenin and Trotsky hang on the walls
This little hall happens to be the
place of general congregation of Scan.
dinavian workers and so even some OF
the accused members could remember
Of being at this hall at lodge meet
ings and on various other occasions.
The local officials succeeded in in
ducing three members out Of the five
on the trial board to sign the repor'
which was made to the local meeting
last Monday. The report fraudlently
stated that all the members charged
had pleaded guilty and that the
three members of the board therefore
found that they had violated the con
stitutional section mentioned. When
as a matter of fact none Of the mem
bers had pleaded guilty but all had
stated that criticism of the agreement
contained in the resolution was in
their opinion justified.
Upon that report one Of the former
officers of the local, Thorkelson, pro
ceeded to interpret that part Of the
constitution applying to the general
president as vesting full authority in
the local president to proceed to pro
nounce sentence.
Gavers Sentence Thru.
One member of the union succeeded
in obtaining the floor and reading the
constitution which specifically pro
vides that at such trials the defend
ants as well as the prosecuting wit
ness, either personally or by repre-
sentative, shall be allowed to state
their side and that it shall require
two-thirds vote of the members pres
ent to convict the defendant and afiz
such legal penalty as they may deem
proper.
