Il TURN DOWN
COMP ANY PACT
Surface Mems Union
Votes Acceptance J

The employees of the elevated lines,
owned by Samuel insult, voted to re-
ject the contract offered by the com
pany on the basis Of the present agree
ment which carries wage scale vary
ing from n cents for motormen to
II cents for guards The vote was
SO7 to sis.
On the other hand the surface en-
ployes under the leadership Of Presi-
dent William Quinlan, voted to accept
the agreement While Quinlan did
not directly advise the membership
how to vote at the last membership
meeting, he attacked those who would
suggest strike action and declared that
these men were irresponsible" The
original demands of the surface men
included a wage raise Of cents per
hour above the present scale. 1t was
evident that Quinlan had an under
standing with Blair, the president Of
the Surface Lines, on a settlement
along the lines Of the existing agree
ment.
0uinIan Is Willing.
The leadership Of the elevated
mems union does not seem to be as
complacent as that of the surface
mems. In 1919 the elevated men
voted against the company's proposed
agreement, but a settlement was
reached by pooling the votes OF both
divisions of the amalgamated union.
Employees Of the Aurora, Elgin and
Chicago lines were granted cents
per hour increase a week ago. There
is no doubt but the workers on the
surface and elevated lines would have
also gained their paltry five cents an
hour increase, but for the willingness
of President William Quinlan Of the
street Garments union to comply with
the wishes of President Blair Of the
Surface Lines.
The street Garments union has u.s.
600 members. Out of this number
1881 cast their votes for the agree
ment and 1878 voted against it.

Tie Up Open Shop in St. Louis

Clothing Workers is the chief point of
issue as matter OF course, and the
fight Of the union is supported by
all members of the Young Workers

tional League among the Curlee

The crafty effort of the Curlee COM

met a sharp and praiseworthy rebuke
from the A. F. Of L. unionists in st,

that day. which we have held regular
ly for many years. We were not the
only locals which held such meetings;
in fact, Local S5, headed by vice
president Breslau, held their meeting
in Tammany Hall and were addressed
by Jacob Panken of the socialist
party.
Local 20 informed everyone of
their meeting in Carnegie Hall by a
letter five days before the meetings
was held, and invited President Sig
man to address their members. They
also invited Prof Scott Nearing and

from him in which he stated he could
not attend the meeting because of an

AS far as the alleged loan to Camp
Nitgedaiget, this is another excuse to
cloak the real purpose Of the joint
board. The Unity Cooperative Asso-
citation, 1915 Madison Ave, New York
City, an organization to promote CO.
operation among the workers, had
asked Local % to help them secure a
loan from the Amalgamated Bank of
N. Y.
Loan For Socialists All Right
They made this loan on a second
mortgage on their property, but since
the bank laws do not permit such
loans on second mortgages, our local
deposited with the bank $4,000 worth
Of bonds, something which is quite
common. For instance, Local No. 66
has loaned the Rand School Camp
$4,000 and our own organization has
signed notes for various cooperative
organizations in the past.
THE real reason we have been sus-
pended without notice is our stand for
the right of the members to have their
say in the union. Our joint board and
international are conducting them
selves in no better manner than the
building unions. Brindellism is an
open fact in our international union.
We wished to abolish professional

members with stoppages and agree
ments that are never carried out. The
last so-called stoppage has cost the
dressmakers 100000, and we cannot
secure an accounting Of how this
money was spent.
For Proportional Representation
Although our three locals comprise
60 per cent Of the membership re-
presented in the joint board, we have
only 20 per cent vote in that body.
Business agents have been appoint
ed for our members against their vote,
which is unusual and outrageous. Also
at the last convention, the Interna-
tional decided to increase the per
capita of every member from 10c. to
15o. In addition, the International
has levied unconstitutionally a $3.50
tax against our members. Our locals
protested against this and challenged
the right of the international to levy
such a tax. The officials of the joint
board, however, entirely ignored the
representatives of our three locals.
TICS[lHB Oub Inc Largest
Membership
"The conference committee that
worked out the demands of the Cloak
makers before the governors commits
sion, consisted of one representative
of every local. After all the demands
were submitted to the governors COM
mission, secret meeting was held of
the conference committee, leaving out
entirely the representatives of our To-
calls comprising so per cent of tho
membership. The representatives of
the three locals protested against this
procedure. We believe that the mem
bers have a right to vote on these
questions.
When we started to expose these
matters to our members, the interna-
tional decided to throw US out by force
illegally. This morning, they broke by
force into the headquarters of locals

ed membership meetings for Local %

to decide what course Of action they
want us to take.
Elected by Big Majority
I'm the last elections, few months
ago, the present administrations Of
the three locals were elected with
votes of four to one. We challenge
the joint board and the international
to call membership meetings of our
locals, and we are willing to leave
our Office if the members so decide.
We consider this attempt on the part
of the joint board and the information
al gross violation OF our rights an
officers and members of the union.
"The international and the Joint
board officers know that we are right.
They do not dare to face the real
issues. Instead of answering our men,

a charge irrelevant to union business,
