SAN FRANCISCO,-FP)-Nov. Is,
The accident that the victim was a
rich mans son has laid bare a per.
nicious practice on the part of the
San Francisco police. A 16 year old
runaway high school boy from Ia

shelter over night. In response he
was placed in "felonk row" with men
awaiting trial for murder, burglary
and other major crimes, and was OBJ

American imperialism. Latin-Amer-

solidarity with the aspirations of the
struggling Filipino people. It is now
up to the American workers. The
presence in this country of a mission
elected by the Filipino people to voice
their demand for independence here,
in the homeland of imperialism, must
become a rallying center for con-
certed struggle.
THE Philippine islands constitute

country practically every one of the
important figures of the Filipino ma

Some criticism Oh Osmena and
Quezon has been heard from time to
time in the Philippines not because
OF opposition TO their demand for
Filipino Independence, but because, it
was complained, they did not carry on
the struggle determinedly enough to
suit the Filipino people, who feel that
their independence is not subject for
debate with the bought agents Of
Wall Street who sit in the United

which can be settled only by struggle.
One fact, however, stands out above
all others: the Filipino people desire
their freedom, and the presence Of the
independence mission here is a SYM
Dol OF that desire.

News Of the slugging at last Fri

the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
of Chicago, and the murderous attack
on Sunday mornings private gather
ing in the 6ltmore Hall by business
agents, other officials and slugeers,
has spread like wiIdfire thru the shops
Of Chicago. u
Members of the A. c. w. are show
ing considerable excitement over the
threat Of terror regime of pogroms
against the members by the officials.
In many shops the last two or three
days, workers are reported as discus
sing during the noon hour the mean
ing of the sluggings to themselves
and their interests in resisting read
iustment" wage cuts.
Indignation in the Shops.
These discussions in many shops
are taking the form of shop meetings
where great indignation is raging and
many questions are being voiced as
to whether members have any voice
in their union or whether the officials
are czars.
Such questions as the following are
being asked by the members:
us there no free speech in our or
ganization? Can we not discuss the
questions and problems of our union
at our meetings or elsewhere without
fear of being slugged? Do our off.
Gals get paid fer smuggling our bro
theirs and sisters?"
Others inquire "Are we to pay
$25 assessment for the emergency
fund to fight wage cuts, or is that
money only going to be used to hire
sluggers to beat up our brothers and
sisters that dare to speak up on union
questions?"
These are the leading questions
that form the talk of the A. c. w.
members in the shops.
To bring Charges.
At the meeting of Local 80 on Tues
day evening well attended by the
membership, some of the slugged
members, far from being suppressed,
stood up and announced they would
bring charges under the union law
against the officials and other slug
gers involved in the gahgster attacks.
They preferred to take it up in the
union and had refused to give any
information to the police when they
we're arrested last Sunday.

is the view of the British Trades

speaking of the prejudice existing
against Soviet Russia, Purcell said
1t largely emanated from the fact that
those who do not work under the
Soviets have no vote, that no more
millionaires are made and landlords
can no longer collect rents.

At both meetings a resolution was
unanimously adopted declaring that
workers delegation be organized

Russia on behalf of the American
workers. In addition to approving

one Of the greatest ovations ever af-
forded labor leader from abroad.
Never once at loss for phrase and
with exacting conciseness, Purcell
formulated for his audiences the re-

and Central Opera House the vast
crowds took up the cry of world trade

Abolish Capitalism.
The climax of Purcells appeal for
world trade union unity came when
he said, Wherever capitalism has
planted its root, whatever parts of the
earth capitalism enters for the pur.
pose Of exploiting human labor, our
duty is to plant the trade union or
carnations of militant and ener.
getic type for the purpose of uniting
the workers of all lands for the stop

eventual consumation of the task Of
emansipating the working class. We
will be satisfied with nothing less
than the abolition of capitalism and
the world supremacy Of the working
class"

Oppose Kaufman Collaboration.

vention at Monday session on the re-
solution introduced by the New York
Joint board and recommended for
adoption by the resolutions commit
tee on class collaboration, in which
the Kaufman policy of hearty CO.
operation" and all policies which
sought to destroy the spirit of the
class struggle was condemned, the
machine tried to create the impress
sion that the left wing progressives
were utopians, dreamers and imprac-
teal while the machine supporters
were hard, predetermined people.
In the course of his attack on the
left wing he asked for a definition
Of class collaboration which was gra-
phically portrayed to him by dele
gate Gross, one of the New York left
wing, who reminded kaufman of his
opening speech in which he urged CO.
operation between the bosses and the
workers, and also of his action in re-
cognizing the use of injunctions in
the Millman case in Boston as well as
collaboration of bosses and union re-
representatives. to discharge a worker
in Chicago. The resolution was adopt
ed, unanimously, the machine support
ers fearing to show their weakness.
The resolution against class COLA
boration education and program Of
workers education promoting the class
struggle and recommending schools
similar to the Workers School in
New York and Chicago was referred
to the incoming general executive
board. The resolution for the Rand
School was adopted by a majority of
few votes, the real left wing voting
% against it.
Fake Telegram Raised.
The committee to investigate the
fake telegram, purporting to come
from the Workers Party in Chicago,
reported that it was unable to dis
cover anything and that it would have
to go to Chicago to further investi-
cato tho poattnr
Gold ridiculed the entire matter
showing that the machine was raising
the bugaboo of outside interference
to cover its own mistakes. He show
ed that the Communist Party has
nothing to hide from anyone and that
the Workers (Communist) Party was
functioning organization and not a
dead body like the socialist party.
Kaufman had appointed a number
of the right wing progressives to this
investigation committee, whom he
seeks to arouse into an open battle
against the left wing by Haunting
this fake telegram. All the delegates
and workers at this gathering laugh
at this political maneuver on the part
of the machine
