Carpenters Fight YeIIOw Dog Contract

are given until June rs, to sign the
pledge, failing to do which they will
forfeit their membership, according to
Hutcheson.
Two local unions have voted unani-
mously to refuse to sign the pledge,
while vigorous minority in the other
two locals are refusing to sign it.
Hutcheson tried to expel one mem
Der in violation Of the constitution
and his stupid actions In trying to
make good that expulsion has brot
him to a position where he must ex-
pei a thousand members or back
down very considerably. 1t is our
guess that he will back down.
viii Take II to Membership.
1t is the intention of the two local
unions whose expulsion now seems
certain, to maintain themselves as ex-
PEELED locals Of the, brotherhood and
carry the case to, the rank and file
Of the brotherhood turnout the juris-
diction.
There can be little doubt that when
the carpenters Of America become
fully acquainted with the czarism
practiced by Hutchinson and his funk
eys in Detroit, the rank and filers in
Detroit will be reinstated and Hutche-
sons wrecking crew will stand ex-
posed as the most contemplate and
INSCRIPTIONS gang of self-seeking
parasites that ever. fastened them
selves on trusting membership.
The record Of their actions in De-
troit will stand as the foulest page
Of the history Of a gang Of petty, in
capable and tyrannical grafters main
tanning their privileged positions by
the rankest fraud and betrayal.
The answer of the carpenters of
Detroit to Hutcheson's yellow dog
pledge" is contained in leafiet issued
by the Carpenters Progressive Com
mittee, which was widely circulated in
Detroit. 1t is reproduced herewith:
Carpenters of Detroit, Don't Sign
Hutcheson's Yellow Dog Pledge.
"Out of the struggles of the workers
to organize themselves in the various
industries, notably the lumber work
ers and mine workers of the west, and
the machinists of the east, has come
a weapon of the bosses known as the
yellow Dog Pledge" During times
of agitation for organization of unions
the master class in these industries
compelled those working or applying
for work to sign a pledge not to "aff1-
late with, or give support, assistance
or comfort to" any trade union cor
similar or kindred organization" Ma
turally the weakened and servile
were the first to sign these pledges
which thus came to be known as "yel-
low dog pledges" as indicating the
color Of those who signed them.
"Hutcheson's yellow dog pledge is
identical in form to hundreds issued
by the bosses against rank and file
workers and goes to prove that Hut
cheson gets his ideas, methods and
tactics from the class enemies of the
workers. Hutcheson not only apes
the master class in his mode of living
but thinks their thoughts and sup
ports their fight against the militant
workers struggling to educate them
selves and improve their condition.
The pledge is as follows:
81, the undersigned, do hereby
promise and agree that | will OBJ
serve and comply with all the
laws, rules and regulations Of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners of America, and that
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-06-13

! will In no way affiliate with or
give support, assistance or COM
fort to the Trade Union Educa-
tlonal League, or any similar or
kindred organizations.
"ln subscribing to the above
do 30 Of my own free will and &C
cord, and agree that should |
violate said agreement, or pledge,
Il Is understood that my member
ship In the United Brotherhood Of
Carpenters and Joiners Of Amer
lea be forfeited without complain
by me-"
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-06-13


Hutchinson fears the awakening
and enlightenment of those from
whose toll he lives in master class
style and splendor and he seeks by
this pledge to RESTRAIN them from
association with their fellow workers
in an endeavor to understand the
problems arising out of their poverty
and uncertainty of employment and
life. The pledge asserts that one signs
of his "own free will and accord"
when as a matter Of fact the most
extreme coercion within the power Of
Hutcheson and his bullying crew is re-
sorted to. The pledge is typical Of
the whole attitude of Hutcheson
which is a mixture of lies and AFRO
gance, fraud and subterfuge.
This cowardly attempt of Hutche-
SON to make us sign away our rights
and privileges guaranteed by our con-
stitution shall be as barren of results
as his former coercive measures. His
expulsion policy met with defeat be-
cause we rallied almost to man in
defense of our constitutional rights to
a fair trial. The bodyguard of uni
formed police with which the under
lings Botterill and Shamrock sur
rounded themselves in holy fear of
the wrath of an aroused membership
while they carried out the dirty work
Of their master Hutchinson merely
served to steel the rank and file to
resist infringements upon their rights.
His despicable resort to capitalist
court for an Injunction came to naught
because the manhood of our member
ship stood as unit against the yell
low few who for Jndas, silver or
promise Of jobs supported the dirty
work Of the Indianapolis autocrat.
at is within the power of any in
dividual member to successfully fight
this latest piece of stupid arrogance.
However, it is important that as many
as possible be enlisted in this struggle
for justice so as to broaden the fight
and make the burden light on each
individual. No one possessed of man.
hood desires another to bear his bur-
den and this is a common cause vital
ly concerning all workers.
wendell Phillips, Americas fore
most liberator, speaking on behalf Of
the emancipation movement which
led to the civil war and the emanci-
patton of the Negro from chattel slave
ry said Of those too timid to engage
in the struggle:
"They are towards who fear to be
In the right with two or three"
Already there are hundreds and
thousands in this fight for manhood
rights against official tyranny. No
great amount of courage is required
to refuse to sign this yellow dog
pledge. We hope the percentage of
towards among the carpenters Of De-
troit is very small.
1T stands to the lasting credit of
the carpenters of Detroit that the in
famous and unconstitutional expulsion
policy Of Hutcheson has been smashed
anu MS ShdncAul IeSOrJ 10 capitalist
courts for injunctions defeated.
ut is now within our province to
once for all settle the question
whether or not union men are to be
compelled by their overlords in Of
fetal positions to sign away their
rights to do their own thinking. No
greater service can be rendered to the
labor movement. 1t can easily be &C.
complished If we tally up to the
measure of men.
Members of the brotherhood, re-
member your manhood!

the war was supposed to knock out
forever is very much alive; much
more so than Woodrow Wilson's four
teen points. Things look little roster
! for capitalism on the whole than they
did few years ago, but there are
big black clouds on the horizon.
IONE Of those clouds is in China, the
other in Morocco. Those who are
inclined to get pessimistic when they
see reaction restored in Germany and
in fact, see it in the saddle in every
capitalist country, should never for
get that the red flag of proletarian
rule flies over one-sixth of the earth's
surface and it would not surprise us
to see it fly over another big stretch
in the near future. If you look at
the map of China, you will see that
Mongolia is quite hefty piece of real
estate and so is South China. The
Soviet idea is quite popular in both
areas.
TT is also well to take look back
L and note the position labor occu-
pied few generations ago. The CAPT
talists have real reason to fear the
workers today. They know that their
power is not to last forever. They
know that the labor takers will not
always be able to keep the masses in
check; that the workers will lose
faith in those fake leaders, when they
are betrayed once too often. And
more than all they fear the Commun-
list movement which knows what it
wants and how to get it. Clouds also
appear on the proletarian horizon, but
they are destined to disappear.

A vision of San Antonio 80 years
hence:
A thriving city of several million
population. A city of enormous sky
scrapers piercing the skies. A city
with its skies black with passenger
and freight airplanes.
But every city, like building, must
have a foundation and that's what
every worker, business man and manu-
facturer in the Alamo City is build
ing. They are making a foundation
on which the future San Antonio is
to be built. This is being done by
the men who are erecting factories and
buildings that are too large to care
for the present demand, but are the
correct size for the future.
Among the foresighted San Anton
ians is Herman Richter of Richter
Baking Company. The bakery he has
recently erected is capable of supply
ing bread for 100000 people. If this
bakery should become too small an
other unit can be added to increase
its present capacity of 10000 loaves
daily.
The company has four bread baker
les in Texas, all Of them being in the
