An Example Of Left Wing Spirit.
Feeling proud and confident of the
principles and actions which 1 was
about to defend, / took my place at
the front of the room and prepared
myself for questioning. The vice

did you distribute the leaflets from
Local So" he asked.

"Who gave you the leanets?"
"Why do you want to know? Do
you want to take them off the job,
too?"
This fetched a smile out of the
roomful of job holders. They knew
my question was well-aimed. The
vice-president swallowed hard and
went ahead.
did you know that the Amalga-

leafets?" he asked.
II know all the laws of the Anal

right to take me off the job, can you
tell me?"
Here the vice.president lost his
temper slightly.

here to answer questions, not to ask
them. Understand"

in what's going on there?"
Anything that goes on in the
Amaluamated is my business. I,
as militant member Of the
AmaIgamated, look at our union
in wider way than you. With
me II is not only a question of
