Green Of the American Federation of

in answer to an inquiry: "a. F. of

dent during the war, and resigned in
order to become a labor member OF
the Railroad Labor Board, has been

Morrison flatly denies that any dis
cussion Of future charter or indie
pendence for the expressmen was
ever discussed with Forester during
the war period.
Forester claims that $4,000 men
have thus far voted to join his new
organization. A. r. of l.. officials
point to the long list of secession
movements that have collapsed, and
warns the expressmen that 1t will give
them no recognition. Fitzgerald
charges the secession to personal
ambition" on the part OF few blind

istration. From that, they sunk SO
low that they could not muster Is
votes to get a roll call and so quit
fighting on the fourth and fifth days.
In the first few hours of the con-
vention, before the timid and con-
fused progressives could get their
wits together, the amalgamation res
olution was struck out without a
single voice being raised in objection
-altho there were several amalgama-
tionists seated as delegates.
Same Old Stuff.
Many other progressive PROPOSE
tions were killed in short order and
many reactionary measures passed
without protest. Some were not, as
customary, put in print, but were
droned off by the reading clerk and
passed without consideration.
The progressives were particularly
weak in fighting material this year.
The last two years that the progress
sives were in control of the union,
they felt so sure of themselves that
they began head hunting campaign
against the real militant left wing
element, thinking they no longer need
ed them to hold the union against the
reactionaries. Thus the progressive
party deliberately castrated itself and
now it is paying the penalty for its
war on the left wing radicals.
Better Tote Fair from Now On.
Now they are all shouting for har-
mony of all anti-administration forces.

Brazil.
In an article entitled, Trade Union
Unity" the new labor paper, A Classe
Operaria, writes;
The struggle for unity gains more
and more the confidence of active
trade unionists throughout the world.
AS in Europe and America, the ques-
ton Of trade union unity is, in Brazil,
also the most important question.
We must break with the old rout-

France.
A joint mass meeting at Lille has
resolved to support the campaign Of
the G. G. T. U. for unity in France,
and has added:
Considering the praiseworthy eff
forts OF the British trade unions which
have resulted in an agreement with
the Russian unions on the question of
international unity, the meeting de-
olares its approval of this action of
the British trade unionists. and asks

The Berlin branch of the Metal
Workers Union, the largest OF all the
trade union branches in that city,
have unanimously passed at a general
meeting the following resolution for
the German t. U. c. Ito be held in
August:
The international capitalist offens-

rights the worker still enjoys, urgent

battlefront Of all workers in the trade

The T. o. e. L. members and militant
left wing elements are certainly in
favor Of united front against the re-
dictionaries, but that united front must
not be one-sided affair and must be

the trade unions of all countries, and
particularly the Russian unions, to

far refused the invitation, but they

the mask of the united front. 1t is
pity that the general meeting of the

Of these facts.

asking who was the originator of the
resolutions adopted in behalf of the
two privates, Crouch and Trumbuil.
In reply, the newly elected secre-
tary, Brother BuzzeI should have an
swered What business do you have
TO find out? Are you in the service OF
labor or capital? Are you gentlemen
Of San Francisco labor council serv-
ing militarism or the militant class
struggle?"
Instead OF that, Brother BuzzeI an
swered that he looked over the re-
cords and found no resolution of that
nature ever introduced at the central
labor council Of Los Angeles.
Good for you, Brother BuzzeI. the
country is sayedl But alasi Since
when has the central labor council OF
San Francisco become so ridiculously
stricken with terror in case the CEN
trail labor council should have adopt
ed resolutions asking the release OF
Crouch and TrumbulI?
Is it not the duty OF every worker
to demand the freedom OF the two
privates whose only crime was preach
ing Communism?
There are hundreds OF thousands OF
soldiers all over the world that be-
lieve that Communism is the hope OF
the enslayed world. There is an or
ganized army in Russia where Com
munist principles are supreme.
II is the duty OF every central labor
council to demand the release of the
two Communist soldiers who have
constitutional rights to preach what
ever doctrine they believe.
