Knit Goods Leaders
at Bosses Petting
Parties in New York

The knit goods workers in the Hal.
perrin mills of Brooklyn are still on
strike. 1t was expected that the knit
goods workers of New York City
would join them but that strike has
been postponed. In spite of the sell
out of some textile workers and the
Walton watch strikers thru federal
Cancellation, and the Ladies' Garment
Workers by Governor AL Smiths com
mission, the leaders Of both these
organizations are willing to turn the
knit goods workers over to the tender
mercies of a conference of employers
and union representatives called by
the department of labor"
The knit goods workers of New
York should compel their labor lead
ers to do some leading in the struggle
instead of having continuous petting
parties with the boss. The department
Of labor is one of the many instru-
ments used by the capitalist class to
fool the workers into giving up one
of their best weapons, the strike
weapon. The way to be able to talk
turkey to the boss is to build a pow
erful industrial union, stop the wheels
of industry and tell him to come
across.

an apprenticeship card. The business
agent put me off for nearly a year,
refusing to accept any payments from

business agent agreed to take me in
as journeyman because / was now
over 20 years of age. He accepted
$50 from me, as part payment on a
$50 initiation fee.
However, they used numerous ex-
cuses for not initiating me into the
union, and found it increasingly diff
cult to get work on a union building.

tary conditions, the hours ranging
from 60 to so per week and the starva.

have created splendid field for the
organization of a militant, industrial
union.
The membership is composed al
most entirely of fine young men who
feel the intolerable conditions
keenly. The union meets every Sun.

The following resolution was pass

WHEREAS, There are thousands Of

these workers depends entirely upon

Great Falls, Mont,
Has Its Takers But
They Have Bad Luck

The tactics Of Compression have
been practiced here by the leading la
Dor takers, who are disappearing
those who provide them with a pie
card. This was particularly shown
during the November election, when
the progressives held a convention
composed of the labor and a farmer
elements, and formed farmer-labor
party, and nominated candidates in
regular form, etc.
These men and women were all pro-
gressives Of the rank and file. How.
ever. they did not suit the labor
takers. They. perhaps, were too
much on the working class order. At
any rate, the farmer-labor ticket was
endorsed by the labor assembly over
the protest Of the takers who were
aiming to fall into soft berths in the
capitalist camps.
They even went so far as to try
to steal control Of the local paper.
"The Town Topics" which is publish
ed by the Trades and Labor Assem-
bly,, and with It they intended to
boost the capitalist candidates for
their own interests.
However, they were out of luck.
The progressives were on their guard.

threat that IL he could not control the

Unemployment Bad
in Nova Scotia

Unemployment in Canada is increas-
ing at rapid pace, unemployment
councils are being organized in every
province. The T. U. Il. l.. militants
are demanding work for all jobless at
aion wages, failing this they demand
rnat the government support the I'M
employed and their families. In the
eastern provinces the situation is
acute.
In Sidney, Nova Scotia, alone there
are 1000 unemployed workers. Two
soup kitchens have been set up but
these are utterly inadequate to handle
the situation. Besides, the workers
resent the idea of soup kitchens. They
are willing to work and IL that cannot
be given TO them, then they demand
full union wages in the shape OF gov
ernment unemployment insurance.

new ISSUE OF
ALGAMATION
BULLETIN out

The eighth number of the Metal
Trades Amalgamation Bulletin, pub
lished by the international committee
for amalgamation in the metal trades
industry if off the press. 1t is an
interesting issue, containing several
good articles, on national and inter
national phases Of the struggle bet
ween the lefts and the rights in the
trade union movement.
OF particular interest is an article
on the Brotherhood of Blacksmiths,
Drop Forgers and Helpers, by Old
Timer. The story is told briefly and
effectively in a style that holds the
attention of the reader and gives an
excellent picture of the corruption
that has eaten out the heart of that
once powerful organization. A mem
bership of $4,000 in 1918 has today
dwindled down to $1,000. The radicals
alone can put this organization on its
feet again, and industrial unionism
thru amalgamation is the slogan Of
the militants.
Comrade A. Overgaard tells of the
fight in the Machinists' Union against
the faker Johnston and the alleged
progressives led by Anderson. Sew
eral locals have endorsed the left
wing slate but owing to the feeling
among many of the unframed
sympathizers that the left would not
win, they voted for the Anderson
slate. 1t looks like Johnson is gonna
reign no more in the l. A. M.
UNLIMITED Guests
John Otis has an article on the last
convention of the metal trades de-
partment of the A. F. of L. at the
Ell Paso convention while Charles
Schwartz discusses the Waltham
watch factory strike.
The story of the unlimited partici-
patton of the Russian metal workers
in the International Metal Workers
Congress which met in Vienna is in
teresting and instructive. There are
several other excellent articles and
news items of interest not alone to
metal workers but to workers in
every trade.
Copies of this bulletin can be Sc
cured at the Office of publication, 1876
West Washington Street, Room 1903.
Subscription price is 80 cents per
year. Single copies three cents. In
bundles of ten or more 2 cents per
copy. Every militant in the metal
trades should order a bundle and dis
tribute it among his fellow workers.

Brennan appellini Can.
not Fool Miners
BY A RANK AND Filler.

WILKES BARRE, Pa.-William ].
Brennan, ex-president of District No.
1, United Mine Workers of America
and at present an international or.
ganizer in the same territory, made it
officially known that he will be a can
didate for president Of District No. 1
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea despite the efforts of John L.
Lewis to have him removed to the
Pittsburgh District.
1t will be recalled that at the last
elections Brennan was beaten by Ri
naldo Cappellini, who was running for
office on a progressive" platform and
who is now justly being denounced by
the rank and file as a renegade and
traitor. 1t was Cappellini who in the
recent anthracite strike, helped to
outlaw" the twelve thousand miners
by revoking the charters Of ten local
unions.
The official Lewis machine was more
than satisfied with this action of
Cappellini and decided to reward him
for the Services rendered" Bren-
nan, who is considered one Of the
strongest opponents of Cappellini, was
ordered to leave the anthracite field
and to take charge of the Pittsburgh
District. This Brennan refused to do.
He was then told that he will have to
resign as international organizer. This
he also refused to do issuing a chal-
lenge to Lewis to remove him from
his present position if his actions are
not liked.
1t is yet to be seen as to what &C
ton the International machine will
take against Brennan. Meanwhile his
followers are quite busy in their pre-
parations for the coming elections.
Brennan Another Reaetionary
The rank and file must not be mis-
led this time as they were in the last
elections when they helped TO put
Cappellihi into office. Brennan is Just
as reactionary as is Cappellini. The
recent strike of the 1900 men of the
Pennsylvania Coal Company was led
by followers Of Brennan. The strike

tant leadership and because Of the
policy OF class collaboration followed
by the old time reactionaries and fake
progressives
The strike Of the twelve thousand
men did not gain anything for the
miners despite the splendid spirit
shown during that strike by the rank
and file. New and more bitter strug-
giles are imminent and the miners
must be prepared to be able 20 meet
the organized forces Of the operators.
A Real Militant Candidate
The more militant and class con.
scious members OF the Miners Union
in District No. are planning 10 put
up a candidate Of their own for the
Office Of president. Every miner In
District One must line up behind this
movement Of the rank and file and
show that they viii no longer allow
themselves to be lead by the nose by
the old time reactionary politicians
and renegades OF the type OF Brennan
or Cappellini.

A Letter Comes
from Philadelphia

Dear Sir and Brothers:I have
been following the reports in the
DAILY WORKER and the Progressive
Building Trades Worker of the ex-
pulsion of members from our Brother
hood by our General President, with
out trial, hearing of any kind or by
a vote of the membership. My opinion
was that you were exaggerating the
situation, Now l know that you have
been giving us the straight goods.
At the last meeting of my local I'M
ion No. g. carpenters, we were notified
by the G. e. B. that F. w. Burgess
was expelled. Just imagine this flag
rant violation of the constitution.
which states in effect, that all mem
bers are guaranteed a trial by a trial
committee selected by the local and
that it takes a twothird vote of the
members present to convict. This
complete abandoning of the constitu-
tion by the G. E. B. simply means that
no member, who dares to critize VIM.
L. Hutchinson or the administration, is
safe from expulsion.
The members of Local have the
fullest confidence in Burgess ana will
fight for his reinstatement. The mem
bership Of our Brotherhood must con-
denim this demoralizing policy adop-
ted by Hutcheson and demand the
immediate reinstatement of all those
expelled without trial, and demand
of Hutchinson and the G. E. B. that
they abide by the constitution. Please
let me know just who has been ex-
PEELED without trial as guaranteed by
Section So of the constitution.
Fraternally,
Editors note. The name Of the
writer of this letter has been with
held for obvious reasons. The name
of those expelled without trial are
printed in another part of this page.
