The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-07-22

there, he came the 100 per cent
American Charley, for consolation.
Charley, like real big fellow profess
ed complete ignorance of the confer
ence but told this alleged delegate
Whist he thot of the Communists. 1t
might be well for Charley to under
stand that large number of the mem
bership of the local labor movement
are foreigners" and it is those fore
| igners" who make motions in their
local unions to subscribe to the FEEDER
alton News, thus helping Chsrley's
paurch to keep extending, making it
possible for I. m to admire the oucxle
on his belt While reclining restfulIy in
his erni chair. Of course as one of
the delegates said to the DAILY
WORKER reporter, Charley would
talk tomorrow in defense of the Com
munists if those two pay him his
salary gave him instructions to do So"
The American Negro Labor Con-
gress came in for severe handling
from Fitzpatrick and Nockels. The
latter said that out of $50 interna-
tional unions affiliated to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, only three
had clauses in their constitutions for
bidding membership to Negroes He
did not dwell on the unwritten law
which keeps Negroes off jobs simply
because of their color. This is one of
the grievances that the Negro work
ers are going to fight against.
Calf Remains UnkiIIed
Delegate Shussler of the Photo En-
gravers' Union tried hard to get the
floor but the chair did not recognize
him until some supporter of the Off
;ial family moved the previous ques-
ton. Under the heading of reports
of local unions" Schussler said that
while he disagreed with Fitzpatrick on
many issues, he was with him in his
action against the scabbery of the
United Garment Workers. This was
pleasing to the ears of the reaction
aries. Fitz expanded and told Schuss-
Ter that the fatted calf was waiting
to be slaughtered whenever the pro-
digal son was willing to return and
become a bootlicker of the reaction
aries. Charley Wills applauded. But
Schussler spoiled the picture by i'm.
mediately afterwards criticizing Fitz-
patrick for his habit of refusing the
floor to delegates who have been SLAM
dered on the floor. Fitz got mad and
so did Nockels and the fatted calf has
new lease OF life.
For Protection.
Andrew Overgaard, delegate from
a machinists' local, stated to the
DAILY WORKER, that in his opinion
the attack on the Communists was
shield to protect the officials of
the Chicago Federation of Labor from
the fury of William Green's wrath,
for their action in taking the side of
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
against the scabby Rickert outfit.
| Overgaard also wished to have a
statement that appeared in yester-
days DAILY WORKER corrected,
which said that he met Jim Larkin
in Dublin. The interview between
Larkin and Overgaard took place in
Moscow and not in Ireland.
Last Sundays meeting of the Chi.
cago Federation of Labor was enter
tanning and instructive. It proved the
comrsete bankruptcy of the reaction
aries. It showed that the DAILY
worker is a powerful weapon in
the hands of the workers, by exposing
the reactionaries, labor takers as well
as by fighting the bosses. There is no
doubt but that for the DAILY WORK.
ER's campaign against the U. M. G.
w. scabbery, the officials of the Chi.
cago Federation Of Labor would take
refuge in neutrality"
Many delegates are still wondering
whether Nockels was himself when
he condoned Tom Ricketts, scabber,
by pleading the law of self-preserva
ton. They were strange words in
deedI
