This led to mistrust in the shops.
Hostility and suspicion between the
workers themselves developed to a
dangerous degree.
Here is Just one illustration of what
the onicials would do: After the
masses, unable to endure this any
longer, had forced one of the officials
to resign at a public meeting. and
after this same Official had stated that
he would remain loyal and true to
the organization, ETC., he went up in
to a shop, made a compact with the
boss to fire a worker and put him in
his place. N.,.l,.,s

But such a situation could not keep
on indefinitely. Amongst the mem
bership a strong feeling of discon-
tent against the acts and policies of
the leadership developed. The more
class conscious elements began to
drift more and more to the "left" in
their sympathies. The state Of the
treasury began to reflect the lack of

responsible for the present bankrupt
condition of the Organization.
For a considerable time there has
manifested itself sharp divisions in
the organization, that led to heated
discussions and almost physical fights.
The organization has been divided be-
tween the Communists and the class
conscious workers on the one side,
and the union bureaucrats and their
henchmen on the other. A bitter
struggle growing sharper and sharp
or has been taking place between
these two factions.
Officials Class coIlaborators.
Until lately, thB union bureaucrats
and their lackeys were the rulers

FOR them to conjnre up false charges,
to set race and nationality against
each other. The personal ambitions
of the LADDERS were set lar above the
welfare OF thu organization These
tactics brDt utter Decentralization into
the ranks of the wOrkErEl The bn-
reaucrats st41ted In with their we'll
known plans Of cooperation with the
bosses They began by helping out
individual bosses to get in more work
in the shops
This was OF course, said to benefit
the workers, but what this really
meant was, that the union did its ut
most to encourage competition be-
tween the workers Of the various
shops
Those workers who made an at
tempt to uphold union conditions were
threatened that If they made a move,
the other union shops would take
away their work The workers feel
ing themselves helpless, started to
rush their work and lost themselves
completely. This rush made for short
err seasons and soon the bosses were
able to put into effect wage reduc-
lions and make the workers work
overtime for straight time, this add
ing to the already large number of
unemployed in the trade.
Bosses Take Part in Union Affairs.
Well-paid workers were sent down
from their jobs, and others on a low
er than union scale were put in their
places. Every attempt to sustain
union conditions was openly fought by
the yellow clique in control. The
bosses were Of course, highly pleased
with these sane" reasonable" la
Dor leaders.
1t is a well-known fact that the
bosses themselves took an active part
in the internal affairs in the union.
In times of election they agitated
their workers to vote for the leaders
and in some shops even intimidated
the workers If they would not do so.
The ignorant workers, trained by the
union leaders to put their immediate
personal interests above those Of their
class, began to violate all principles
of class solidarity and voted and
worked for the rotten administration.
