The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-12-05

In the machinists' union, under the
yellow socialist Johnston, an early
stand was taken in this game by ex-
polling a number of militants in To
ledo, Ohio, for membership in the
T. U. E. L. At the ensuing convention
Johnston managed to save his skin
and to hang ON to his job. Now, claim
ing the action of the convention was
an endorsement of the expulsion pol
icy, he has issued ukase demanding
the wholesale expulsion of members
of the Workers Party and members
of the T. u E. L. throughout the en-
tire union.
The fur workers was also the scene
of an active expulsion campaign, with
interesting results not figured on by
the reactionary, Kaufman.
And now we have the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers, which so long pas
sed as a left inclined union, showing
that here, too, the reactionary bureau
cracy refuses to be outdone by the
reactionaries in the miners, machin-
lists, carpenters, ct al, and is expelling
militant left wingers on the usual
pretexts. Other unions are following
the same program in a more or less
desultory fashion. And along with
this campaign has gone y a Z further
systematic terrorizing of the left wing
in the unions by refusing to let the
militants run for office, by placing
heavy fines against them upon all
sorts of fimsy pretexts, etc.
A number of central labor councils
have also put into effect the expulsion
policy, insofar as their limited author
ity permits them, by refusing to seat
as delegates the Communists who
have been elected by the affiliated
local Unions. The chief offenders in
this respect are the councils in Min
neapolis, Seattle, and Los Angeles. 1t
is noteworthy that these are all left
wing strongholds. The reason for the
sharp application of the expulsion
policy in these places is twofold,
first, the necessity of the bureaucracy
to fight the left wing with all the
means in its power, and, second, the
presence of all sorts of renegade
socialists who are the most willing
and INSCRIPTIONS tools to lead this
fight of the reactionaries.
So far in the Chicago Federation of
Labor the expulsion policy has not
actually been applied. The leaders Of
the Chicago Federation, Fitzpatrick
and Nockels, who long posed as radi-
Gals, work more insidiously. They
conspire privately with the controlling
takers in the local unions to prevent
left wingers coming as delegates. In
addition they are carrying on publicly
the most contemplate fight against
the Communists. 1t is noteworthy
that Green, in one of his latest full
limitations against the left wing, used
verbatim the lying arguments contain
ed in a circular recently sent out by
the Chicago Federation of Labor.
At the recent American Federation
of Labor convention the expulsion
policy once again got the support of
the united labor bureaucrats. And in
his Detroit speech short while be-
fore the convention, Green declared
for an open war upon the Communists.
He said:
"Organized labor will not and
cannot tolerate Communism or
Communists. Members of organ
lied labor are either trade union
lists or Communists. They cannot
be both. In view Of the fact that
the Communists have challenged
