a Ride By Inches

Having chosen the southern route
out Of Goodland, I hurried to the
highway, realizing that cars going
in my direction might be few, due
to the lack of large cities in that
locality.
1t was forty miles to the next
large town. I had spent week at
hotels with poor accommodations.
had hiked miles over graveled roads,
the little round stones of which are
strain on the ankles. I felt en-
titled to at least one nights rest
in a hotel where hall light would
not shine through the transom and
keep me awake.
There was not car in sight. The
road map showed a junction of two
highways less then a mile beyond.
I arrived just in time. I ran the
last few steps to beat a car to the
crossing and had time to signal the
driver

LABOR ASSEMBLY
Mahoney Treachery in
Full Bloom

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 15.-The ST..
Paul Trades and labor assembly and
board members last night installed
the most reactionAry group Of Off
Gals that has held office in that body
for many years. The vicious campaign
conducted by the reactionaries among
the local unions and in The Union
Advocate, resulted in the appeal Of
the Emme-Votaw expulsion case being
lost. OH
Comrades Emms and Votaw had
been previously expelled as delegates
from Machinists' Union No. 459 by
the most high handed methods and
had appealed their,case to the unions
affiliated with the assembly for vote.
Last nights result was the vote to
sustain the assembly's action.
Refuse Locals Right of Floor.
To accomplish this result William
Mahoney had to carry on in The I'm
ion Advocate vicious campaign Of
Misrepresentation, and the reaction
aries manifested such activity among
the unions as has not been known be-
fore. SO prejudiced by this barrage
were some locals that they refused
the courtesy of the floor to c dele
cation from the machinists' local who
desired to speak In behalf Of their
delegates, Emme and votaw.
Many unions with progressive tend
encies responded in a splendid man.
ner with protests and resolutions con-
demning the attempt OF the assem-

While Mahoney was compelled to

vocate, he generally gave them incon-
spicuous positions while the reports

Promises Adherence to Reaction.
In his speech upon taking Office,
President Lawson plainly indicated
that the administration will follow the
A. +. OF l. policy ito the letter." which
means that no real progress is in
cluded in his program. He stated that
the treatment accorded the delegates
would be dependent upon their treat
ment of the presiding officer, and in
all cases in line with the well estab-
lished policies Of trade unionism, and
"Americanism."
The administration OF Frank T.
Starkey, just ended, was probably the
worst the assembly has ever had. No
president ever had so much money
for organization purposes as Starkey,
and none accomplished less. His
supreme accomplishment was the ex.
pulsion OF Delegates Emme and Vo-

BAKERY TRUST

competitors
Amalgamation Plea Is
Made BY Delegate

The outstanding feature of a rath-
err dull session Of 1.-THE Chicago FEEDER
alton Of Labor yesterday was the re-
port Of a delegate'from Bakers Union
Local No. 2, on the speedy trustifca-
ton of the baking industry and the
Increased power of the trust and the
inevitable unemployment among bak-
cry workers and drivers caused by the
greater concentration of the industry.
It was an excellent argument for
the amalgamation ofthe craft unions
and the organization of labor on in
dustrial lines. The delegate, tho he
did not mention theinow hated word
amalgamation, nevertheless pleaded
for unity between the bakery driv-
ers and bakers as a necessary move
in the struggle between those who
manufacture and distribute bread and
those who own the machinery of pro-
duction and distribution.
Swallowing Up Rivals.
The Continental baking company,
the delegate informed the federation
has now absorbed IS of the largest
baking establishments in the United
States including the Ward Baking
company. In the city of st. Louis,
this industrial octopus took over six
baking factories, and shut down four
Of them after few weeks, throwing
40 bakers and 20 drivers out of work
Formerly the drivers were CLASH
fed as statesmen, and made fairly
good salary even tho they worked
hard, but under the new rules Of the
trust, the drivers are to be delivery
men and all commissions for sales
will be abolished The concentration
of capital in the baking industry, not
alone has hit the rank and file but
even vice-presidents were sacrificed
in the interests of greater profits. A
local manager of the Ward Baking
interests, vice-president of that con-
Germ lost his job when the Continental
swallowed up the Ward bread cor
poration.
Must Get Together.
1.-THE drivers aslwell as the bakers
! must get together and forget their
technical differences if they are to
successfully fight the bread trust" de-
clared the bakers delegate.
The pernicious tendency among
trade union leaders to look on the
unions as business propositions and
responsible agencies in helping to in
crease the profits of business for the
employers was demonstrated when a
delegate from the auto painters re-
ported that more than one firm sign
ed up their shops with the union be-
cause of union label agitation. This
is business proposition today, the
labor movement is" he declared and
went on to say that if the employers
could be shown that they could make
more profits by having their employ
es in the unions, they would be anxi-
Gus to get their shops organized.
Clinton S. Golden, field organizer
for Brookwood college, Katonah, New
York, was given the floor and made
a report on the work of that organ
ization. Golden is former district
president of the I. A. M. in Pennsyl-
Vania.

A few days ago two of the scabs
were seen walking into town from the
mill with their baggage on their
backs. 1--WE thru" they told the strik-
ers. mo good job. Pretty soon all

are believed to have slipped away
The company carries them to and fro
in automobiles as long as they stick,
but when they quit let's them walk
the long distance from the mill to the
railroad station.
Strikers Stand Firm.
All of the breaks have been in the
ranks of the scabs. Not single strik-
er has quit. Company agents. trying
to persuade some of the workers that
it is a "weavers' strike" and not ap-
plicable to other workers, succeeded
in keeping few Of the women work
ers from going out. So strong is the
| morale Of the workers, however, that
those who's tayed at work sent an Off
cial request to the Amalgamated Tex.
tile Council that they be given state
ment in writing that they were not
scabe, because they claimed, it was
weavers' strike only. The union alb
solutely refused, and proclaimed that
this is whole mill strike covering
every worker. 1t is believed that the
few individuals remaining will there
fore soon come out.
An Appeal for Relief.
The secretary-treasurer of the Ne
masket Textile Council, Matt H.
Hathaway, has issued call to all
! mill workers everywhere to send re-
lief funds, as the strikers have been
out five months and their splendid
morale persists in the face of the
most severe deprivation of necessities.
Committees visit the mill gates to col
lect the funds. The appeal meets with
considerable response. and small
strike benefits are being paid where
absolute necessity requires. More i'm
portant still, Middleboro strikers and
their Textile Council are enthusiastic
supporters of the movement initiated
by the Works. Part and Trade Union
Education League for an allNew Eng
land united front conference.
Further encouragement for the
united front proposal has been found
by the Workers Party and the Trade
Union Educational League in at least
a score of mill towns ranging from
New Hampshire to the Fall River dis.
