MINNEAPOLIS, Mlnn., July H.
The conference Of the left wing

movement successfully brought out
forty members representing differ.
ent organizations.
This conference laid down a
foundation for a permanent organ
izatIon Of the left wing. The weak
nesses Of the local labor movement
were thoroly discussed, and II was
the concensus Of opinion among all
those present that a fighting pro-
gram for reconstruction would have
to be adopted.
To that end a resolution for a
campaign to "oraanize the morgan
lied" was adopted. All those present
recognized that the initiative for
this work would have to be taken by
the left wing.
A spirit of work prevailed among
the members present, and a real
desire to achieve effective progress

other conferences will follow BIZ
monthly.
The reactionaries made a crude
attempt to sabotage this conference.
They notified the capitalist press
that this was an attempt to set up
dual central body. In their zeal to
keep the wet blanket over the labor
movement, and thus prevent it's
growth and progress, they stop at
nothing to forestaIl the efforts Of
the honest workers to do construc-
tive work. This fIImsy attempt on
their part, failed completely. The
rank and file is aware that the left
wing element possesses a real pro-
gram of action.

in his native graphic Yiddish said:

be strong enuf to drive out Sigman and
his gangsters. To tell Sigman and
Co. thru this great gathering: Take

II you win attempt to terrify US we
will stop the electric in the shops

Chairman Zimmerman, in opening
up the meeting declared:
This is a historic meeting even in
the history of our union. We gather
here this evening to review the events
that have led up to the present situa-
ton; to restate once more our pur-
poses and policies. We are opposed
to splitting tactics and want our union
for the rank and file. We want to get
rid of a few individuals who have
fastened themselves upon the back of
the rank and file. This great revolt is
the result of years of struggle. We
are still keeping the 'barricades' and
we intend to keep them"
Portnoy on Class Collaboration.
Portnoy was the first speaker. He
told how the new administration of
Local %, had been sabotaged by the
Sigman gang. He dealt with the
governors commission pointing out
that II was supposed to bring peace in
the industry.
Saying that: Instead of pressing
our demands upon the governors
commission, they have been making
war upon US and so neglecting the
demands of the workers. The time is
not far away when they will have TO
leave the union. They are not there
for idealism. II there is no pay they
will not stay for a day. and you have
refused TO pay your dues to the joint
board. AS long as these people are
at the head of the l. l.. G. w. we will
not pay them one cent" (Applause.)

That means much.
The more people can move freely

on larger scale.
Mexico Is planning to build hard
surfaced roads from the capital to the

project is road from Mexico City to
Laredo, on the Texas border.
Those good roads will mean more
freedom for the Mexican people than

Considerable dissatisfaction has
been expressed in sporting circles
in this city, following the an
nouncement that "Steve's Stars -
are to play the Cotton States team

ton being prompted by the existing
conditions wnl;n make it necessary
for local team to play away from
this city because proper facilities
are not available here.
While El Centre has a good ball
field west of the courthouse, it is
not enclosed, and it is therefore
next to impossible to charge ad-
mission to games. AS visiting clubs
