CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
 CLEARS INDEBTEDNESS

CLEARS INDEBTEDNESS
 Chamber of Commerce mem- bers are congratulating them selves over the announcement of Treasurer John Hovland that the last cent of indebted ness incurred by the organizat- ion since it's inception in Aug ust last year was wiped out last week. This includes the cost of the fine new Chamber of Commerce building on h. ternational Avenue, which is now entirely free of incumb- rance of any kind or character. According to the financial statement submitted by Treas urer Hovland, the income of the organization during the in dicated period amounted to S1,166.25. Of this amount $245.25 was expended for fire apparatus of inestimable value to the town in case of fire, l $615.08 was devoted to the construction of the Chamber of Commerce building.
 Current expenses required an additional $305.01, leaving q balance of 91 cents in the bank
 when the last bill was paid November 9th. Taking into consideration the difficulties of maintaining an organization of such character in a small comnunity, where member ship is limited and the work carried on of a necessarily costly character, this is a rec
 ord that reflects great credit
 on the devoted few who have
 not only supported the Chamb-
 CT financially but also have devoted much time and labor to carrying on it's work. Prob ably no similar organization i'll 1 the Territory has carried on q
 wider range of activities dur ing the past year. In addition to advertising the district ex- tensively, the Chamber has collected and collated a large
 amount of data bearing on b. cal resources and development
 possibilities and has also de voted much time and labor to
 various other matters of i'm portance to the town and dis trict, including fire protection, harbor improvements, river flood prevention, and road and trail development. One Of the most notable activities un- dertaken during the year was directed to the linking up Of Alaska with the States by rail- road connections via Hyder and Stewart, B. C., in which novel project the Chamber succeeded in arousing wide spread attention and discuss ion.
 By these and numerous other activities aimed at the i'm provemena of local conditions the Chamber has amply prov ed it's usefulness in helping the town and district, and is justly entitled to all the sup port and encouragement the community can give.
 The statement issued by Treasurer Hovland shows the condition of the organization
 on November 6.

Reynolds Elected
President of the
District Council

DETROIT, Mich.-The fight against
the expulsion policy of VIM. L. Hutch
eson, president of the Carpenters I'm
ion. is receiving the support of almost
the entire membership Of Detroit At
the last meeting of the district coun-
Gil, wnen the lieutenants of Hutchinson
refused to open the meeting, the dele
gates took the matter into their own
hands and elected VIM. Reynolds of
Local No. 2140 as president, and Wal
lace Of Local No. 1906 as secretary,
and instructed them to prepare a pro-
gram for organizational activity for
the next meeting.
Hutcheson's attempt to disrupt the
organization in Detroit is still going
on. Hutchinson took the controversy
into the capitalist courts and said he
would abide by its decision. OF course,
he fondly imagined that the decision
would be in his favor and did not con-
slider thar capitalist courts are some
times compelled to yield to mass
pressure.
The decision of Judge Hunt in dis
solving the Injunction and Diminishing
the contempt proceedings against Rey-
nolds, forces Hutchinson to adopt new
tactics. He has refused to accept the
per capita tax of Local No. 1191 until
they send their books to Indianapolis.
This move is very obvious. 1t sim
ply means that Hutcheson is going to
try to reduce the delegation to the
district council to a point where he
can control it. However, this is a
futile maneuver, because there isn't
single local in Detroit that supports
Hutcheson's position.
Local No. 2140 of Detroit did not
ask for, and, refuses to accept Judge
Hunts decision. They have placed
their case before the rank and file and
will be guided by their decision.
President Hutcheson, in violation
Of all union principles, appealed to a
capitalist court. 1t was he that
prayed" for the courts decision. Now
that he hasagOt it, it is up to him to
accept it. - TrrH 'r

MINERS ROBBED
And INSULTED BY
BOSS AND TAKERS
Unholy Alliance In the
Coal Pits

MCDONALD, Pa.,-Operators and
miners officials break and disregard
the agreement here by the Wholesale
But what is a signed agreement among
friends?
In the Montour mine, number 3, Of
the Pittsburgh Coal company, the men
have to work in water which in many
instances is a foot deep. There is no
protection for the miner, only what
he himself can force the boss to give.
When the leaders kick about water
in the room and ask for some method
to get 1t out so they can load the
coal they are told to drink the water
if they want a dry place to work in!
officials Won't Let Men Fight Back.
This insult is thrown at the miners
by the little pit bosses because they
know that the miners official gang
will not allow the men to put up any
kind of a fight to enforce their de-
mands.
If the pit boss is finally forced by
any of the men to furnish them with
water boxes into which they can bail
the water, he does not pay them.
Yet all dead work is supposed to be
paid for at the rate of $3.50 per day.
Not only do the men lose the time
that it takes to bail the water out but
they also lose a car of coal.
Instead of being furnished an empty
car in their turn they are given the
water box. Even after the loader
balls the water out for himself he
;an not get it taken out of the room.
Klux Ignorance Rampant.
Here the operators use khan and
race prejudice against the leaders
who are either fireign born or colored
Practically all of the drivers and day
workers are the conceited type born
in this country and belonging to the
xlan that is an easy prey for the OPP
orators. They aIe used against the
leaders and refuse to haul out the
water boxes.
All of the honest miners must fight
these conditions in the mine by par
ticipating in the affairs Of their organ
ization and not leave it in the hands
of the reactionary officials. They
must build fighting mine committees
in each pit to battle both bosses and
takers to a finish.

Faithful Servants
Get Usual Reward
from Government

WASHINGTON, d. c., March IL
No sooner has the White House caus-
ed Public Printer Carter to dismiss
IT'S union printers from the govern

ing the force to 1000 persons, than
officials of Columbia Typographical
Union get hold of copies of posters
printed by Carter and sent turnout
the country, very recently, urging
printers to come to Washington to
take jobs in this very shop.
The administration apparently
wanted to get supply of non-union
labor on hand. waiting and anxious
for work, before it dismissed lot
of old experienced hands, who might
make a protest at their own unmerit-
ed fate.
How cruel was this typical Cool
idge order is shown by the case of one
man who was within four months of
the right to retire on the small pen
sion provided by contributions from
the pay envelopes of all government
employees. He lost his job and his
pension. Others dismissed had serv-
ed faithfully for 80 years.

Union Bricklayer
Tells of Treachery
in Helping Bosses
New York ely, March II.

New York City, March IL.
DAILY WORKER:
Friends, this union bricklayer is go
ing to give a correct outline of the
open shop drive in Massachusetts, in
1921, by the chamber of commerce
and the building trust combined.
Friends, this will substantiate an
other bricklayer's item in the DAILY
WORKER of March 4, 1925, compli-
menting vice-President Thornton with
selling the Bricklayers' Union to scab
bosses in Philadelphia in 1924. But
in this case all the officers, local and
international, were mixed up in the
graft that the big builders, the George
A. Fuller and the Turner Construction
company of New York handed out to
these labor traitors.
For instance, in Lawrence, Massa-
chusetts, Peabody and company were
constructing large job for the Amer
lean Wooden company, when the open
shop was declared, and the contrac-
tors moved out with the union men.
But in came Turner Construction COM
pany with New York scabs and took
their places.
The George A. Fuller company was
doing the same dirty work in Boston,
and don't forget that the most agrees
sive tool they acquired to crush those
local unions were the international Of
ficers, who have special agreements
with the big thieves.

NEW YORK CITY.-Last spring the
iron workers that belong to Local No.
40 of the International Association Of
Bridge, Structural and Ornamental
Iron Workers Union struck for recog-
milton of their union.
The strike was a direct result of
the continuous attempt of the Iron

in New York City.
The strike is going already about a
year.
On February 8, 1925, an attempt was
made to erect the steel of the Stand

On the same day the union answer

Teachers Need More

NEW YORK--With income tax re.
turn figures showing an increase OF
total taxable incomes and a decided
increase in the total of very large
taxable incomes, Henry r. Linville,
president New York Teachers Union
asks, why should not these indica-
tons of prosperity favorably affec
the wage of teachers? Why should
not teachers get at least a livinl
wage for the important and indispens
ible social service they render?"
The Teachers Union is backing the
Kleinfield-Ricca bill, No. SAT, in the
state legislature which would provide
salary increases for New York city
teachers. Linville says, "The last year
record a slow but steady upward
climb OF the cost OF living index
curve.
"The upward movement Of prices is
neither temporary nor local but
permanent and worldwide. as any ex
animation OF the statistics published
in the u. S. Labor Bulletin or in the

Hutchinson Frames Up
on More Carpenters
to Retain His J O b

NEW YORK CITY.-In spite of hun
dreds of carpenters locals and numer-
Gus district councils that have protest
ed against the expulsion policy of the
Hutchinson administration, Hutcheson
still continues to broaden out his dis
ruptive campaign. The latest victims
to feel the weight of Gear Hutcheson's
mailed fist are the officers Of Local
376 of New York City and Jos. Lap
idus, campaign manager for Morris
Rosen, who was left wing candidate
for president in the recent carpenters
election.
They have been notified to appear
before a special investigating commit
tee selected by the G. r. B., to answer
charges of issuing "scandaIous and
scurrilous" matter during the election
campaign. The "scandalous" matter
referred to is the election program up
on which Morris Rosen ran for presi-
dent. 1t advocated amalgamation, in
dependent working class political ac-
ton, job control, etc.
II there are any members of the
Carpenters Union who have been in
doubt in the past as TO the basis OF
Hutcheson's expulsion policy, this
latest act of treachery should convince
them that the talk about dual union
ism" is all poppy-cock and that Hutch
eson merely uses this as a cover un-
der which to expel all those members
who took an active part against him
in the last election.

gates to district and central labor
bodies.
Nor does Duffy say, that besides the
conditions laid down in the above
quotation, that the ruling of the G. e.
B. carried with it the following:
"They shall not be permitted to
hold Office in any local union or serve
as comitteemen of any local union for
period Of five years."
Duffy knows full well that if he told
the truth about the official decision OF
the G. e. B. on the Los Angeles cases
IN his circular letter to the local un.
ions, they would Immediately de-
mand the reinstatement of the expel-
led.
Another point upon which Duffy re-
mains silent is the police raid. But
if Duffy is silent, not so with his local
lieutenants.
Hutcheson's Agent Accompanied
Police Raiders.
We are in receipt of a copy of a
letter from Carpenters Local No.
1908, Of Anaheim, Calf, Feb. 90,
1925, signed by J. R. Carothers. Rec.
Secy., in which it states, after con-
demning the T. U. E. L.:
"The police of Los Angeles raided
a meeting of the T. U. E. L., think
ing they were 1. w. WIS. One of the
representatives Of our general office
was present with the raiders and got
hold of the membership role of the
T. U. E. L. and also saw some of the
members of the Carpenters, Union in
this hall. These members were ex-
PEELED from the Carpenters Union and
got damn little sypathy from any but
their kind"
Here we get a frank admission from
J. r. Carothers that Hutcheson, thru
his personal representative, used the
police in raiding an educational meet
ing Of the T. U. E. L., upon evidence
obtained by the police, expelled with.
out trial IS of the most active car
penters in Los Angeles.
Their Kind MuItiplles.
Carothers says "They got damn lit
tie sympathy from any but their
kind" This is quite true. But their
kind are so numerous in Los Angeles
that Locals Nos. 1900, 1887, 1853, 426,
1876 and SS4, endorsed the resolution
sent out by Detroit Local 214O de-
handing their reinstatement and con-
demning the expulsion policy. Duffy,
in his letter, resorts to half-truths
which are worse than deliberate lies.
Like VIM. Reynolds, the Los An
geles expelled members were put out
of the Brotherhood without a hearing
or trial, because they held different
political opinions to those of VIM. L..
Hutchinson and were determined to
expose his corrupt administration.
In tomorrow's article, will take up
that part of Duffy's letter dealing
with the Chicago expulsion cases.
