contributing four color rotogravure
machine valued at $4,000 to the
Technical Trade School at Pressmen's
Home.
Yet the magazine Liberty, which Is
owned by the Chicago Tribune and
edited in the same offices as the
Tribune, is printed in the scab plant
of w. r. Hall. Was the rotooravure
machine 6erry's compensation for let
ting the Tribune get away with scab
magazine?
Yetknowing that the Chicago Trib-
une company, has it's magazine pub
lished in scab plant, Berry writes
as follows: "The Chicago Tribune has
done a very great and encouraging
thing. This newspaper has done more
toward helping the International
Printing Freshmen and Assistants
Union OF North America in its edu-
cational project than all the rest of
the talk-that has emanated from var
lousy sections of the country. The
Tribuhess commentator has a ring
of reality to It, 1t is substantial; it
is a genuine contribution to cause
thatsis deserving not only of the full
est confidence and cooperation of our
membership, but of every newspaper
publisher and employing printer in
America"
This is gentle hint to the other
publishers to come across if they
want Berry to do his best for them.
How little Berry takes his profess
sions Of trade unionism to heart is
shown by the fact that he accepts
the advertisements Of non-union con-
Germs in his magazine, The American
FRESHMAN. One Of those firms is the
"Save-M" Fire Extinguisher Company
of Cincinnati, Ohio.
If more proof is required that Berry
is only fake trade unionist, here 1t
is: The Clinchfeld Mercantile Com
pany, of Rogersville, Tenn, owned by
Berry and Joseph c. Orr, secretary
treasurer of the international union,
purchased clothing from the Schaeffer
d Weldon Company, and supplied the
same non-union clothes to GONZALES
cent members of the International
Printing Pressmen's Union quartered
at their home in Tennessee.
1t is a generally accepted practice
on the part of trade unionists to in
sist that their purchases be manufac-
tured by union labor. While the re-
dictionaries in the labor movement are
trying to substitute propaganda for
the trade union label for organizing
activities, nobody will deny that the
practice of insisting on purchases car
rying the union label is beneficial.
That the clothing firm from which
Berry purchased clothes for the in
mates of the Pressmen's Home was
scab concern is shown by the follow
ing letter from the general organizer
Of the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers in Cincinnati to Franklin Union
No. 20 of New York City:
Dear Sir and Brother: We have
your inquiry, regarding the Schaefer
% Weedon 20. VINO supplies clothing
for your Pressmen's Home and Hos.
pital.
This is an anti-union concern, who
have been fighting us for the past two
years bitterly.
"Fraternally yours,
Jack Knoll, General Organizer"
During the great steel strike led by
William y. Foster, now secretary of
the Trade Union Educational League
and national chairman of the Work
ers (Communist) Party, Berry made a
bitter attack on the steel workers and
the strike leaders. But Berry did not
get away with this.
During the Montreal convention Of
the American Federation Of Labor,
Berry was standing in the lobby Of
the Windsor hotel one evening when
