When the local government unit
evades its responsibility in one direc-
ton. it is started in the vicious way
OF disregard of law and laxity of liv-
ing. The police force which is admin
istered on the assumption that the
violation of some laws may he ig-
nored has started toward demoral-
fzation. The community which ap-
proves such administration is MAX
ing dangerous concessions. There is
no use Disgusting the fact that as
nation our attitude toward tie pre-
vention and punishment of crime
needs more serious attention. I read
the other day a survey which showed
that in proportion to population we
have eight times as many murders
as Great Britain, and five times as
many as France, Murder rarely goes
unpunished in Britain or France:
here the reverse Is true. The same
survey reports many times as many
burglaries in parts of America as in
all England: and, whereas very
high per cent of burglars in England
are caught and punished, in parts of
our country only {. very low per
cent are finally punished. The COM
parison cannot fail to be disturbing
The conclusion is inescapable that
laxity of administration reacts upon
public opinion. causing cynicism and
loss OF confidence in both law and its
enforcement and therefore in it's OBJ
servance. The failure of local gov
ernment has demoralizing effect in
every direction.

Grabbed Hot End of
Poker, Now Wants an
Asbestos Committee

NEW YORK-Tn spite of the fact
that hundreds OF locals have opposed
the expulsion policy Of the Hutcheson
administration and are demanding the
reinstatement of those expelled,
Hutcheson continues his ruinous pol
icy.
The Progressive Building Trades
Worker some time ago predicted that
F. w. Burgess would be the next one
to be expelled, and that following him
would come the campaign manager
(Jos. Lapidus) Of Morris Rosen.
AS prophesied, Burgess has been ex-
PEELED, and on March is Lapidus and
the officers Of Local 276 have to ap-
pear before a special investigating
committee, selected of course by the
G. z. B. relating to sending out mat
ter OF a "scurrilous" nature to the
local unions.
The "scurrilous" matter sent out
was the election program upon which
the progressiyes run Morris Rosen
for president. Hutcheson if nothing
else is brutally frank. He wants
every member Of the union to under
stand that he will brook no opposi
ton to his rule.
Chicago has shown him that he can
not depend upon his local lieutenants
to put his expulsion policy into ef
feet. Detroit is raising hell over his
method Of expelling by letter and his
use Of the courts. Los Angeles is pro
testing against the use of the police
in expelling sixteen of their most val
ued members, and the general mem
bership is in open revolt against the
expulsion policy.
So Hutcheson is now trying tc
screen himself behind fake 'investi
cation committee" whose findings
have already been decided upon anC
which is In open violation of the con
stitution. Hutcheson grabbed the rec

Shoe Workers Confer
on Amalgamation of
Two New York Unions

NEW YORK.--The general council
OF the Shoe Workers Protective Union
at the semi-annual meeting held in
January, 1925, extended to all indie
pendent unions OF all shoe and leather
workers an invitation to join with
them in forming national industrial
union which would embrace all work
ers in the shoe and leather industries.
Among the unions to whom such
invitations were sent was the Amer
lean Shoe Workers Protective Union.
Inc, OF Greater New York. AS result
OF this invitation officials OF the Shoe
Workers Protective Union arranged
a conference at which the possibility
OF combining both orgazations was
discussed.
Several conferences have been held
and tentative propositions have been
submitted and are under advisement.
Other conferences have been arranged
which will be held I'd the near future.
