BY UNION sRIcKLAYER.

NEW YORK CITY, April 27-At a
conference of the building industry
held here pertaining to the supposed
tieup of $4,000 900 worth Of building
construction, it was brought plainly
and positively to the notice of the
workers how the bricklayers and plas-
terers' representatives sell them to
both the sub-contractors and general
contractors.
This occurs whenever it happens
to meet with these representatives
financial approval, as in the southern
affair, and not in the interest of the
workers AS William Bowen, presi-
dent of the BrickIayers and Plasterers
Union, stated at the said conference,
he was working for the sub-contract-
ors' interest and not for the union, as
quoted in the New York World.
Union Imports Seabs Against Its
Members.
Union bricklayers recall the scabby
affair of the same bunch of labor
takers, Bowen, Preece and company,
when they used the union members
Of Local 81 of New York city as scabs
against the local of Rochester, N. Y,
paying their fare to Rochester to scab
on their fellow workers for the inter
est OF their masters-who paid them
we'll for the faithful performance of
their duty"
Again, union bricklayers and plas-
terers recall Vice President Thorn
toms action in January, 1924, selling
Local No. l members of Philadelphia
to Mr.. Adkins, scab contractor.
And again union men recall the
Boston open shop drive in 1921, when
the Official gang allowed the big boss,
whom they pretended TO fight. TO es-
tablish the open shop on our eastern
local unions.
Even the Capitalist Paper Says They
Break Strikes.
1t is laughable to think that these
labor takers can be bought so cheaply
by the masters and still expect the
bricklayers and plasterers TO look up
to them as labor leaders when the
very same master who buys them SO
cheaply tells the world thru their
capitalist papers that they are strike
breakers.
The New York Journal Of April II
1925. stated that the Bricklayers' and
Plasterers' International Union i'm
ported their so-called unino men into
Syracuse, N. Y. to break strike and
prevent the workers there from get
ting a living wage.
The officials OF this union are among
the champion strike breakers Of the

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. ~ The ap-

building trades department of the A.

Building Trades Council to seat its
delegates because it was a "red" 10
cal. is receiving no consideration from
the oficialdOm.
On January 90, FIVE delegates we're
elected by Painters Local No. 1856 as
delegates to the Minneapolis Building
Trades Council They appeared at
the next meeting and presented their
credentials only to have them turned
down because the local had issued a
statement to the labor press in reply
to an attack launched against it by
the Minneapolis Star, in which they
stated, that our membership as indi-
viduals shall at all times enjoy the
right to affiliate themselves with any
church, khan, political faction, political
party, or social sect that they so de-
sire, without being prosecuted by our
organization"
This statement was issued in reply
to the charge made that the. local was
under Communist influence and con-
troll. and met with disfavor among the
right wing because they had endeav-
ored to drive the painters into the
same WITHDRAWING campaign that
was being carried on by the reaction
aries.
After the refusal Of the Building
Trades Council to seat their delegates,
the local union appealed the case to
the building trades department In
due time reply was received that
the matter must be taken up by the
local thru the Painters Interna-
tional which was Immediately done.
A few days ago a reply was receiv-
ed from Chas. J. Lammert, general
secretary-treasurer stating that the
letter, has been received and will be
submitted to the general executive
board for information"
Not a word to indicate that they
would fight to protect the interests
of the local union in the controversy.
The delegates of the local were de-
MED seats on January %, four months
ago, but yet not a hand has been
turned to compel the council locally
to live up to the constitution of the
department.

side of the enemy, the enemy which
hopes to break our union. We miners
must not permit it. We will fight
with any and all means, even death,
for our union. But they are trying to
cut our wages, lengthen our hours,
steal our conditions for which we
have fought for so many years of
bitter struggle.
These conditions are written into
our contract with the blood of our
sacrificed brothers, yes, burned into
it with the fire that has eharred their
bodies in the flaming pits. These con.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 81. =
The Amalgamated Clothing Worker
shops in Cleveland are alive with a
story that has been verified time and
again by each successive group of
rank and file members interviewed
by the DAILY WORKER reporter.
The story was first secured from a
group of needle trades workers
gathered near a restaurant they
patronize during lunch hour. And the
story, in short, is, that the policy of
the reactionary oficialdom OF the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers, to
starve all those who do not agree
with it by taking away their jobs,
made its debut in Cleveland several
days ago.,
Ben Peppercorn is the local man
sger for the Amalgamated. He Sc
cured his Office and job thru the sup
port Of the left wing element. He
knows this, but denies it today. Pep
percorn suddenly discovered that the
aeaflet issued by Local of New York
was being distributed in Cleveland,
and was to receive final distribution
at meeting Of Local 112 called to
discuss the new agreement.
An hour previous to the calling of
the meeting, Peppercorn visited Sarah
Holman at her shop and first plead
ed with her and then warned her not
to distribute this leaflet at the local
meeting. Sarah Holman answered
that she thought it entirely within
her rights to distribute the leaflet
and intended doing so.
Enter the VlIIjaness
Upon entering the Labor Temple,
where the local meeting was to be
held, she was met by Mrs. People,
member of the union, who seemed
TO have secured the authority from
somewhere to stop Miss Holman
from distributing the leaflet. The
conversation between Sarah Holman
and Mrs. People brought to light that
she lMrs. Pepple) had been engaged
to forcibly restrain Miss Holman
from distributing the Local 8 leaflet.
Enters here a new Amalgamated phe-
nomenon-the female slugger!
While group Of members were dis
cussing in the hall the threats made
against Miss Holman, a worker
rushed to them from the hall to tell
them that a motion had been made
In the meeting that all those guilty
Of distributing the leaflet would be
taken off the job. In this group in
the hallway was the chairman of the
meeting and the group was surprised
to learn, as they hurriedly entered
the hall, that Manager Peppercorn
had himself called the meeting to
order in rush to put something over
on the left wing members.
biblical interpretation" Of Local 5
After this group entered the hall,
protests were made against these
back alley methods and demands were
made by members for an explanation
of the reasons for the suspension of
Local of New York. Mamie Santora,
general organizer and member Of the
G. e. B. of the Amalgamated then
arose and talked about most every
thing except the reasons for the sus-
pension. She called the left wingers
