LABOR BANKS
Get The BOOT
IN HODCARRIERS
Local 113, Milwaukee,
Rejects the Plan
BY GREGORY PRoDANIcH
Worker Correspondent.


MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 27.-The
report of delegates from the Federated
Trades Council to Local 113, Hold Car
riers, Building and Common Laborers.
gave an impetus to hot discussion on
the question of Tabor banking sys-
TEN" which is to be organized in Madi-
son, Wis.
The minute the delegates reported,
one of the militants got the floor and
explained to the rest Of the rank and
file the real meaning of the so-called
Tabor" banking system. The mill
tant, in his short talk gave very
clear explanation Of relations between
the West Virginia mines, which are
owned by B. of L. E. members, and
the U. M. w. of A.
The mines that are owned by the
Brotherhood are seab mines bought
with money from the B. Of L. E.
Bank. and there is constant friction
and struggle with the U. NJ w. of A.
The U. NJ. w. tried to organize these
mines but without any success. This
example showed that the money which
is invested in production from these
banks do not help the workers a single
iota, quite the contrary.
The labor takers that are supposed
to represent the workers are drawing
10, IS and 20 thousand dollars a year.
These fiat boys" do not represent the
interest of rank and file because they
are simply parasites on the hides of
the workers who are paying their fat
salaries.
Local Votes Against Labor Banking.
After a discussion on labor banking,
motion was made by one of the left
wingers to repudiate the labor bank
ing system in toto turnout the coun.
try.
The motion was carried without any
opposition, which proves that the
membership is growing tired of class
collaboration of various kinds, Tabor
banking systems" etc.
Plain rank and filers are beginning
to see that the only solution from
wage slavery lies, not in labor bank,
ing" but in abolition of private proper
ty in the means of production upon
which the wage slavery is based.
Elect New Chairman.
On new business a motion was made
to declare the presidents chair vacant
and elect a new chairman. The faker
that was defeated tried to prove that
he is also in favor Of progress by maxi
ing the following declaration to. one Of
the militant members of the union:
"Amalgamation would be all right, but
the leaders of the trade union move
ment-Green, Lewis, etc--are smart
people and as long as they are not in
favor Of amalgamation we can't do
anything"
The militant member asked him in
reply: But suppose the rank and file
demands the amalgamation, what
would the smart leaders do?"
Right after the election of a new To-
cal president, the militant was on the
Job and sold the new chairman
pamphlet Struggle Of the Trade Uni
ons Against Fascism." At the meet
ing there was sold $1.2O worth of vari-
Gus kinds of pamphlets issued by the
Trade Union Educational League.
The field for revolutionary activity
is very broad and fertile. Only pa
thence and constant activity will bring
results. Get on the job, comrades!

the next.
This keeps the workers divided.
The section whose wages have not
been cut does not feel the same
degree of interest as the one who
have. 1t is a merry bosses game.
= The members of the union are, how
ever, beginning to wake up to what
is being put over on them. It is hoped
that the resolution passed by the
workers of the Alfred Decker &
Cohen company will be taken up by
the local union and real fight made
against the wage cuts that is now
being put into effect by the employ
ers and with the approval of the
Amalgamated officials.

of the workers in this firm had re-

so incensed the workers of which
there are nearly 200, that in shop

SILK WORKERS
UNIONS SET UP
UNITED FRONT
But Officials Ignore Need
of Militancy
BY ALBERT wEIsBoRo.

PATERSON, N. j., Oct. 27.-Some
time ago the Associated Silk Work
ers' Union of Paterson established a
temporary united front with the I'm
tied Textile Workers Union for the
purpose Of maintaining the forty-four
hour week which is now being threat
ened by the Bosses
5lames the Unorganized.
The joint conference set up by the
two unions called a mass meeting
Thursday, October 18th, where several
speakers talked on the maintenance
Of the forty-four hour week. The first
speaker was that cheap labor skate,
MacMahon, president Of the A. F. Of L.
union the United Textile Workers. He
talked not like fellow worker but
like a banker or cheap politician to
his friends"
Instead of Analysing the true situa-
ton in the textile industry, MacMahon
confined himself almost solely to a
TRADE against the unorganized worker.
He said that it is not the capitalist
class that is the parasite but the I'M
organized workers Nothing was said
as to a class struggle against the
bosses. All he did was to heap abuse
on those who had not come into the
organizations of silk workers, calling
them simps and parasites.
No Fighting Message.
The other speakers, both of the
Associated Silk Workers, the indie
pendent union, and of the United Tex
tile Workers, also failed to give the
workers present a true picture of the
state of affairs. None of them spoke
in a militant vein, none of them
carried home the message Of fight to
the workers
One gave a lecture on why people
should be in the union for It means,
If all stick together, that they are
stronger than if they act individually.
Another spoke that the forty four
hour week was "the greatest dream"
"the pinnacle" of the workers thoughts
and that it would be too bad if it
were lost.
Not one of the speakers OF the un-
ions seemed to realize that the work
ers in the audience did not have to be
educated" that the eight-hour day
is better than the ten-hour day, that
they had come to hear speeches de-
nouncing the bosses and pledging an
active militant campaign against
those bloodsuckers, the mill owners.
The speakers actually insulted the in
telligence of the audience.
ssIzman Tells Of Left Wing.
The only speaker that showed in
his talk the spirit of class struggle
was the speech of the Communist,
Salzman. He pointed out that it was
very clear that the eight-hour day is
better than the ten-hour day and
that long and dull speeches on this
question was foolish. What was ne
cessary was for the worker to under
stand that this fight against the boss
for the maintenance of the forty-four
hour week was only the first step in
the fight to crush the bosses entirely.
Salzman showed that in the needle
trades a new left wing spirit had
come into being and 1t was this spirit
that was forcing the leaders of unions,
A. F. of L. and Independent to show
more fight against the bosses. 1t was
this way that the unorganized would
rally to the ranks Of the organized.
Salzman called for an end of petty
fights between small unions and for
one united union in the textile indus
try.

Two Points.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Nov. IA
slashing Oklahoma attack late in thu
game nearly tramplcd the great Mis-
souri, football team to the low side
of the score today but mighty Mis-.
souri, defense stayed off defeat and
earned for the Tiger a narrow but de-
cisive victory, 16 to ID.
A slippery field kept the speedy
Whiteman down, but he would not be
denied his line-bucking prowess, and
with his running-mates Jackson, they
counted most of Miss0uri's points.
SOONERS SCORE FIRST.
The SOoners drew first blood and
counted seven points in the first pc
Rod when Potts passed to Lecrone for
81 yards and score. They held this
lead until well into the second period.
The first Missouri score came when
Lamb went behind his own goal line
to kick. and Clark catching the punt
on the 2S-yard line lodged through the
entire Sooner team for the point.
Whiteman kicked the goal and tied the
score.
The Tigers then worked the ball
to the Oklahoma 25-yard line. Cog
liber dropped back to the 34-yard mark
and booted a placement for an addi-
tional three points, and the half ended
with Missouri on the long end of a
1O-tO-7 score.
SCORE IN THIRD.
Missouri opened up in the third
period with a series of line plays and
end runs that netted them a second
counter. but Whireman's attempt at
goal failed.
With the game apparently on ice
and playing. well into the last period
OklahOms dashed out an offensive
that swept the Missourians off their
feet, and Melted the visitors their sec
ond touchdown. Brookmans kicked
goal after Lamb had luggcd the ball
over.

R|CKEY IN MARKET
FOR BASEBALL CLUB

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Nov. 1i.-Recur-
ring reports from around the country
indicate that Branch Hickey. former
manager of the Cardinals, and for a
number of years large stakeholder in
the club. has his ear TO the ground for
a good franchise pickup. Branch just
now is doing his annual fall lyceum
circuit spelling and whenever he hits
an Organized Baseball city puts the
feelers out.
Hickey, the good business man that
he is, is unquestionably looking for a
club a little run over at the heels
which might be built up into a going
proposition and where he'd have full
sway. He is a man who knows base
ball values and it will have to be a
snap before anybody reads of hin bit
ing. Not SO long ago it was admitted
he was trying TO start something to-
ward the purchase of the Philadelphia
National League club. but, it seems,
there was nothing doing.
More recently his name has been
mentioned with that of George W.
Grant, former president of the Boston
Braves, as a possible purchaser of the
Toledo club of the American associa-
ton. Joseph d. O'Brien. who con-
trolls the majority interest in that club,
is not unwilling to sell, but he has
his price and there will be no reduc-
ton in it even though that veteran
baseball man has not found the Maui
NEE club n money-maker.
Early in the fall Richey's name
was connected with purchase talk in
Houston, Tex, but it is presumed
did not bloom into anything. For
several years the Cardinals had
working agreement with the Texas
League club.
These efforts Of Hickey to associate
himself in an ownership may mean
that he is through. or will soon be
through, with the st. Louis National
League club. 1t was announced
short time before the big league season
ended that Rogers Hornsby, who sue
ceeded him as manager Of the Cardi-
mails. had come into possession Of a
large bunch Of stock in the club and
much of this is said TO have come from
Rickey's block.
