Officials Disregard the

The rule Of sIueaers In the Anal

has created such revolt that In some

bureaucracy has had to change me-
thods and rule by bluff, deception and
trIckery. This was shown Wednesday
night In the Polish Local 80, Of the

hour and half to force them to re-

Two meetings back, the report OF
the officers of the local suspending

vote of the local; but in spite of that,
the chairman declared the motion car
ried. And then he hurried to ad-
journment- At the following meet

that the chairman was forced to ad-

declaring the suspension of Bran

The membership would not accept
that part of the minutes, however, and
finally. the chairman stalled the Nom

Of considering the old minutes would
be taken up at the meeting follow

night, May 20.
But when the meeting Wednesday
gathered a hall full Of members, the
chairman and his Leyin-yellow social

deliberated for two weeks on how best

New" Delegates Give Bill Lee Ague.
The convention is attended by a
bloc Of delegates that has made Lee
look cross-eyed and feel uneasy. More
than half Of the delegates are known
to the reactionary machine as new"
by which is meant that they can not
be definitely placed.
A progressive caucus is meeting at
some unknown place and the spectre
of amalgamation is looming up so
large and formidable, that Lee and
his ring are really pale Of face. The
7. U. e. L. is making an active cam
paign for its program.
AmaIuamstIon Haunts the Takers.
A resolution for amalgamation was
handed in and referred to the reso-
buttons committee. AS a preliminary
to the amalgamation of the sixteen
railroad unions, this resolution calls
for the immediate amalgamation of a.
department Of the service by bringing
into closer touch with each other the

Reject Officers Report at First.
But what winded Lee as much as
anything, was the rejection Of the
officers report. In this report, what
is known as the five and a half per
cent" Chicago wage increase was the
sugar with which the bureaucracy ex-
pected to induce the delegates to swal-
low the report. The delegates gulped
here and there, but a majority refus-
ed to swallow.
Instead, some tall talking was IN
dulged In, which proved that Lee and
his ring had compromised hard gained
working conditions far in excess in
value to the five and half wages

was defeated, Lee sweated for three
hours trying to secure a reconsidera-

struggle between the striking buIldIna

contractors, who have locked out over
5000 members Of the Building Trades
Unions for insisting on a closed shop,
Is on here.
The bankers, and the real estate
board, chamber Of commerce and the
Commercial Club have united behind
the contractors in the attempt to
smash the Gary unions. These orga-
nizations have ordered the contrac-
tors to continue the lockout or imme-
diately have their credit cut of, build
ing material withheld, and financial
backing removed.
The United States Steel corporation
own the largest part of Gary, and
practically all the construction In the
town is being done by the steel trust
either thru contractors who are doing
their work or directly thru the steel
trusts own construction company.
The steel corporation is attempting
to break the backbone OF unionism in
Gary. as the effect on the steel work
ers is feared.
The strikers are holding firm in
their demand for the closed shop and
thus far no scabs have been imported
The contractors, however, spurred
on by the steel corporation, are
making a move toward importing
strikebreakers from Chicago.

Yes. our dear Bee is dead. Her
fears were not unfounded.
She was taken sick on Thursday,
and fastened to the hospital, where
it was found that Caesarian opera
ton was necessary.
She seemed to get through the
operation all right, and we were
greatly encouraged. She soon came
out of the anesthetic and apparently
there were no bad after-effects from
it. The next morning, however. she
called me into her room and said
solemnly:
sally, it's all over. I'm going to
die"
Don't say that, Bee" I remon-
strated. You're getting along fine.

"Not the slightest, but, Sally,
