Mr.. henderson. Mr.. Chairman and
committee: The main digest Of mis-
affidavit Is 10 prove THAI the Depart-
ment OF Justice must have known The
character OF this man and that this
man himself must have known thar he
was inJunng his fellow working men:
that the Chief of the Department
must have known when this man vas
on the Federal Committee that he was
on there TO spy on labor, and what
We ale going 10 endeavor 10 prove 10
the Department of Justice aud the
department Of Labor is that this man
Dorm VAS used by the employers, and
further that the employers used the
department of Justice 10 intimiaate
men active in the labor movement in
TINS country, for the purpose of put
ing them IN Jail, or doing unto them
what has been done to so many, de
portauon. | believe we have enough
evidence here TO prove that Mr.. Dorm
Is an enemy 10 the working class and
mas been an enemy of the working
class. He has been used by the De
partment Of Justice to combat their
interests. That is the petition | wish
to have read in. The matter of the
lodge bringing this action as a COM
mittee--it is entirely out of your
hands. Wherever we get any charges
lie these charges, based on such airi-
dayits as We have against Mr.. Dom,
the International Office does not have
to wait for the local authorities. We
send Il IL 20 Washington, and We have
been assured by the Department Of
Jutsice and the President that all
these cases reported will be thorough
ly investigated, and | might say to
you now, that there is an inveStiga-
ton on now in the Twin Cities on this
case have just read.
On these two charges, we base and
ask for, the expulsion of Mr.. Dorm
from the international Association of
Machinists and also ask for a fine OF
$4,000. You may wonder why we are
asking for expulsion and why we are
asking for the sum of $4,000. We
likewise ask for the sum of $4,000,
and should at any time he redeem
himself and make application, we ask
for the further proyiSo, and that Is,
at no time shall be allowed to attend
meetings, and if it is made possible
for him to join the Machinists Asso-
citation. that he shall deposit his book
with the Secretary and the book shall
remain in the hands of the Secretary.
We ask that for a second clause, for
the reason that it will help, or at least
preserve. should Mr.. Dorm at any time
make a man of himself--we are not
going to un-man him, but at the same
time, we are going to keep him out
of temptation. We ask for the penalty
of expulsion because of the fact that
these are times when the Government
is asking for the preservation OF the
legitimate organization and the sup
preston of the others. | want to leave
i'm your minds. that this man has been
part of a conspiracy that has been
supposed to be working to preserve /
the integrity of loyal organization
and winning the war by keeping the
factories working. The two charpes
we will now read will prove that Mr..
Dorm, after he had uesd the legitimate !
that are part of the |
American Federation of Labor, ana
endorsed and passed by their repre-
sentatiyes-we will now offer ain /
davits to prove that Mr.. Dorm no" adj |
vocates pulling away, breaking UP the !
organization. We will read the atfi-
dayits in support Of the same.
Exhibits . and marked by the re-
porter
lFxhibit 2 was then read into the
record by Mr.. Henderson as follows; /
state of Minnesota,
County of Henrepin-ss.
"Wayne lynch, n. J. Walker, Her
man Husman and G. Widen, being
first duly sworn, depose and say that
they are members Of international
Association Of Machinists, Local No.
81. and members of the Executive
Board of said Local; that afiants have
often heard one Arthur Dom, caro-
number 573328, advocate pulling
away from the district, he also adyo,,,
Gated that said Local should also pull /
away from the International and thus thu,
become an outlaw organization; that
Seid Dorm even brought this latter
matter to the attention Of the EXecu- |
