Of exposing the big election steal, the

this was the reason for the suspen-

Anderson stated that Dawson,
Johnston and their general execu-

and a new election, to avoid which
they engineered his suspension, to
put him out of the way.
Nickerson-Imbecile Grand Duke.
Nickerson, one of the grand dukes
of the Johnston machine spoke but
said nothing that could disprove the
stealing Of the election. His speech
proved, however, the complete bank

PRESSNEN PLAN
TO AMALGAMATE
STRIKING UNIONS
No WOrkBeing Done at
CuIeO Plant

Definite ster were taken yesterday
by Representatives Of Local Union No.
and Local uIon No. Of the Print.
Ing Pressnen',and Assistance Union
of North Aneea to amalgamate the
two unions, BOZ Of which are engaged
in the strike aainst the cuneo Print
ing Company.
Committees rom Local No. 3 and
Local No. 4, thF'ranklin Union of the
press feeders met and discussed
means of disqualification between the
two unions.
Unions WI Stick Together.
"The two uniAs will stick together"
said one OF thspressmen, voicing the
sentiment of i the strikers The
pressmen walkt out week ago when
the Cuneo cominy tried to reduce the
crew of two Alpers and two press
men by takingbff one pressman.
Strikebreake George L. Berry, pres
ident of the Iternational Union i'm
mediately playh his usual role of aid
ing the employers. and ordered The
strikers back d work at the Cuneo
company's ter1s. Berry has sent In
ternational prssmen to the Cuneo
plant from on of town, not telling
them that trouble was on at the plant.
AS soon as tn out-of-town pressmen
find out that thre is strike on they
quit.
Berry has dkcredited himself with
the entire membership in this situa.
ton, and he ha fully exposed his true
colors this time as a strike breaker
and class collaiorator.
No Wdk Being Done.
There is no stnk being done in the
Cunee --Iants II IA and. Grove and
Arlington ana Sopa1luang s10ets. I'M
mailers have been laid of and work il
the bindery rooms has been stopped.
The pressmen and feeders are pick
citing the plant, and have explained the
situation to the out-of-town printers
sent in by Berry.
The orders sent by Berry to Local
No. prove beyond doubt that while
Berry draws a fat salary from the
per capita tax of the union members
he is aiding the Cuneo COMPANY. Some
months ago the executive board Of
Local No. made a tentative agree
ment with the Cuneo company, subject
to the ratification of the union, calling
for certain concessions as trial prop
osition. This tentative agreement was
rejected by the union at a special
meeting held on July 6 and the rejec
ton reafflrmed at the regular meeting
July H.
Bosses Appeal to Berry.
- When the Cuneo company was mott
fed of the action they, significantly
enuf, appealed to President Berry
who, following his usual policy Of
siding with the employers against the
pressmen, declared the tentative
agreement legal and ordered the men
to go to work under it.
When the Cuneo company, acting on
Berry's instructions, tried to enforce
the tentative agreement, the men
walked out. The International board
then attempted to fill the plant with
strike-breaking Berry pressmen. Those
who were honest, brot from out OF
town, refused to scab.
Vice President Marks received all
his information from the Cuneo com.
pany, and did not ask one question
Of the pressmen's union.
