We have Just been thru a local
election in the A. C. w. of A. where
three Jewish, one Lithuanian, and one
Italian business agent were to be
elected. There were four Jewish can
didates. But casting majority of
votes for a left-wing candidate is not
sufficient to elect any more in our
organization. Our Ieft-wing repre-
sentative elected by the votes Of the
members, was declared not elected on
the fiimsy excuse that each craft
should be represented by one bust.

That this is "a political move to
counterfeit the growing left-wing con-
troll is further emphasized in the cleo

board and for Joint board delegation.

vote of SO to 81.

following meeting Of the joint board

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. - Painters
Union No. 1876 had a very well attend
ed special meeting for the purpose of
devising the plan to organize the un.

Dan W. Stevens presented a plan
asking for delegates from every build
ing trades union in Minneapolis to
start an organization campaign be-
ginning the first of April and continu-
ing turnout the summer season.
A committee of FIVE was elected to
make the preparatory arrangements
for calling of a conference of dele
gates and also arranging two mass
meetings that will be held in the as
sembly room of the court house dur.
ing the next month.
This meeting to be used to arouse
the workers of Minneapolis to the ne
cessity Of joining their respective
craft unions and also to make them
attend the union meetings.

Union Bricklayer
Says His Officials
Are All Traitors
BY A Union Brlck-Layer.

PHILADELPHIA an article on
anti-laborites published in the DAILY
WORKER of Feb. IS, l noticed the
name of Thomas r. Preece Of the
Bricklayers' Union and thought the
following note might be Of interest to
your readers.
From my many years of experience
within the Bricklayers' Union (and
am still a member), can say that not
alone Preece, but all Of the officials Of
this organization are labor takers and
traitors and not labor leaders. They
have continued to sell the organiza-
ton to the masters for few tokens,
until now, the building trades are bad
ly demoralized, and in no shape to
successfully combat an open shop"
drive.
AS a particular instance, in January
1924, was in Philadelphia at a time
when the bricklayers were fighting
against an open shop" movement.
This struggle had just gotten good
start when in comes Vice-President
Mr.. Thornton Che had not been sent
by either the International or the To-
cal union), and tells the local union
that they are responsible for the ex-
listing conditions in that city.
He said that he had consulted with
Adkins C Co., scab contractors at that
time, and they told him that they
were satisfied with their non-union
bricklayers. And he then proceeded
to tell the members OF the union what
they (Mr. Adkins G CO.. had brought
him to Philadelphia for. And he a
vice-president of the union.

GREEN THINKS
COLLABORATION
MAY Be DANDY
Labor Leader" Says
"Wait and See"

WASHINGTON, D. c., March p
The effort of big corporations like the
United States Steel corporation to in
veigle their employees into class col
liberation schemes by persuading or
forcing them to buy shares of stock,
is not condemned by William Green,
cautious follower in the footsteps of
Samuel Gompers.
In fact, says Green, it may be a
good thing. He says, ut may take
the form of workers using their power
as stockholders to humanize the in
dustrial policy of business" This is
the sugar-coating for the class col
laboration pill.
But William is a cautious person,
dreadfully cautious. Knowing that
q scheme has been tried out, the
workers-far from "humanizing" in.
dustry, have been bamboozled into
working their daylights out, producing
millions of profits for the large,
wealthy stockholders to get a few
extra pennies in dividends" from one
or two shares of stock-knowing all
this, Green is cautious enuf to say:
Thus far the matter is in the expert
mental stage. When it goes far enuf
to enable us to get an idea of it's tend
ency to mold the conduct of large
section of the workers, we will know
whether it takes them out of the la.
Dor movement"
That it is the business of a labor
leader to know what direction such
schemes take the workers, seems to
be no business or concern Of Green,
the leader" of American labor. Evil
! Identity, after "a large section of the
workers" has been tricked into class
collaboration with the bosses to their
own injury and that Of their class,
Green will then know about it, at
least.
Critics of Green among the left
wing elements say that when such a
thing happens, Green will be among
the leaders of such a decadent sec
ton.

When the workers learn to write,
they will accomplish it by writing

reactionary leaderships
No Passing Of Buck.
They must further remember that
the recent alleged attempt to organize
the steel workers. in which their Of
fcialdom took part, was a stinging
rebuke to their present oficialdom
and the convention should not allow
the officialdom to pass the buck on to
the membership.
If the convention fails 10 prepare
OF issue a demand for the immediate
organization of the steel workers, then
insofar as the A. A. Of l. S. & T w.
is concerned, the finish can be said
with flowers.
Prepare for Action.
The convention has within its hands
the welfare of thousands Of steel and
iron workers. They can take heed of
the crying need for a militant organ
ization campaign based upon rank and
file demands, or they can allow their
future to be controlled and directed
by reactionary officials who have no
more desire to organize the steel
workers than they had to back up the
great steel strike.
The convention must select organ
tiers loyal to the rank and file, and
not distributors of propaganda against
the rank and file concocted by the Of
ficaldom. II must deal with the de-
plorable financial condition and it
MUST call for general organization

ers with the officialdom on the
bleachers.

devote their time from now on to the
convention and they must hold their
reactionary officialdom strictly to ac-
count for their lack of leadership.

Dictatorship of S
Aided By Professor
Raphael's Bluffology
BY S. sMULEvITz.

CHICAGO.-At 700 o'clock in
the morning the street cars are
crowded with workers, half-sleepy.
Many of the workers get up very
early in the morning for fear Of being
late to work which would result in
their being fired.
Tho majority of the early morn
ing street car riders are on their way
to the shops to produce the riches of
the world for their bosses with but
pittance for themselves, yet there is
another group making up a good part
of these early morning crowds These
are the unemployed job-hunters, and
their numbers are increasing daily in
our country of plenty and prosperity.
On this paticular morning, I hap
pened to be job-hunter myself. The
prospects of landing job seemed to
be good when my eyes beheld an ad-
ivertisement by the Phillipsborn's Mail
Order House in the Tribune, so ap-
piled. After filling out an application
blank, which asks about three dozen
foolish questions, l was told to come
back and see in several days." which
is polite way of saying nothing do
ing"
AS l was leaving, a worker, in
broken English, begged me to fill out
his application blank for him. Joe"
was this Italian workers name. He
seemed to be intelligent and well edu-
Gated in his own language. To my
amazement he told me to put down

Salary Desired" He laughed when
l told him that $40 a week for his
labor was not enuf.
Here is the lesson as to the condi-
ton of the workers in this capitalist
America. Joe, 30 years old, with
wife and two children to support, did
not dare ask more than 500 a week
for the sale of his labor. The worker
in America is being kept in fear and
subsection. He regards his terrible
conditions as a matter of course
never to be changed. But they will

Another Italian worker also warned
my brother, who was likewise hunt
ing for job, not to put down more
than S22 to the question SALARY

ton blank.
Such is the condition of the worker
in America, ruled by capitalism, tho
they say it is democratic" coun-
try. Russia calls herself dictator
ship" of the proletariat. Altho Am
erica looks with horror upon the word
dictatorship" yet what about the
dictatorship of the mighty 5 that
rules supreme in this country?
And then the funny part comes in
wher the socialists speak in defense
of capitalism and attack the only
workers and peasants government.

Hardwood Finishers
of Philadelphia Are
Still Going Strong
Especial to The Daily wOrker)

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Mar. DE
mands are being made on all mem
bers of the Cabinet Manufacturers
Association of Philadelphia and vi
cinity, for an increase in wages from
80 to 80 cents per hour for shop work,
with $1.25 an hour for outside work,
by the Hardwood Finishers' Local
Union 426, affiliated with the Painters
District Council No. q.
Demands will be presented to the
bosses on the first of March to take
effect the first day of May, this year.
Several Of the shops to receive the
demands are union shops, others have
no agreement
The hardwood finishers of this vici-
nifty have had pretty hard going since
1920, when they were locked out by
the employers, but 1923 found them
still on the job battling, with the
spirit of organization unbroken-
much to the disappointment of the
bosses. Eu sH
The first of May, if the increase is
not granted and agreements signed,
will find the same bunch on the picket
line, where they will stay until all
questions are settled correctly and to
their satisfaction.
1t is generally understood that the
painters here will make demands for
SIPS an hour on the first of April.
They are strongly organized and will
be able to put up good fight.

reached the extreme end Of their en-
durance.
April Convention Showdown.
The coming national convention will
demand a show down on the part
of NJ. F. Tighe and company, and II
behooves all members of this union
to get on the job and remain on the
job and to insist that the offlcialdom
dispense with their cathedral chimes
and prepare to organize the entire
steel and iron industry.
End the Censorship.
The present theological editor of the
Journal, weekly publication of the I'M
ion, maintains czar-like censorship
over it's columns and sees to it that
not one word concerning the rank and
file rebellion reaches the lodges. Let
tiers of great importance to the mem
bers have been returned to the lodge
correspondents with a warning from
the reverend editor that publication
Of same constitutes libel Anything
that shows up the steel barons and
their friends of labor" is considered
unfit to publish" and OF no concern
to the rank and file steel workers.
This CHASTITY spectacle of organized
resistance to rank and file demands,
has dragged this once militant organ
ization of steel workers down into
the pits of despair, where it exists
merely because the steel barons so
desire. The past year shows a great
slump in membership, a greater slump
in prestige and a record of wage re-
auctions.
Officials Lay Down on Job.
No organized resistance has been
put forth by the officiadom, and what
ever demands have been made by the
steel barons for further reduction of
wages has been readily consented to
by the oficialdom. The union lacks
clean cut militant leadership and
the membership must not be de.
ceived by the dust the officialdom is
