PROGRESSIVE
BARRIERS GOT
NO ANSWER
Officials Proved UnwiII-
ing to Organize

The last convention of the Interna-
tional Journeymen BARRIERS Union de-
cided that women BARRIERS, hairdress-
ers and other workers in similar trade
must be organized under its banner.
So far this decision in Chicago has
remained dead letter. In spite Of the
militant rank and file members who
have called the officials to a show
down, the oficials have turned a deaf
ear.
On February 10, the militants and
many honest workers who have lost
faith in the sincerity of their mis-
leaders addressed the following let.
ter to the officers and members OF
Local 54S:
ITO officers and members of Local
54s, J. b. l. U. of A.. Chicago, Ill.
"Greetings:--At the last meeting OF
the progressives, held on Monday,
February 9, it was unanimously voted
to pledge each individual member Of
the group to place himself at the serv.
ice Of Local 54S, without compensa-
ton, to aid in making the organizs-
ton of women BARRIERS into our union
a success.
THE last International Conven-
TONS decision to permit women beau
ty workers into our union marks a
distinct step forward in the march
of progress. This action has been
hailed with enthusiasm by all active
members OF the BARRIERS Union. To
the students of the American labor
movement this was an Inevitable
event, and a characteristic example
of the trend toward amalgamation and
Capitalization. To the casual observ-
er this may have only meant self
protective measure.
"The members OF Local 54S, group
ed in the progressive group, realize
to the fullest extent the import of
this historical event. They are anxi-
GUS to see the campaign to organize
Chicago women BARRIERS under way.
They, as militant unionists, will lend
their support commensurate with
their individual ability and time dis
possible. They will follow the unions
plan Of organization. If any has yet
been promulgated, or will participate
in the drawing OF such program as
members of our local union.
"In all events, we shall be first on
the battle line, urging in the launch
ing of the organization campaign soon
as adequate preparations have been
made, and trusting in successful
outcome, we remain
"FraternaiIy yours,
"chieago Progressive BARRIERS"
AS was expected, the pficisls
would not read this letter to the
members of the union assembled in
regular meeting. Their reason for
not doing so was that they were then
mixed in some shady deal and feared
that the reading of this very innocent
letter would endanger their life and
hliberty." It was pointed out that
THE letter contained nothing of
compromising or illegal matter, but
to no avail
The real reason why the letter was
not read was also a fear. Not the
lone that they gave-but the fear OF
Eletting the members of the union
know that the progressive group was
a rank and file expression. That they
we're progressives In deed and not in
words. The real danger lay in the
fact that the rank and filers might
have come to a true understanding
of the activity OF the progressives.

BOSTON, April 15.-''Hot dog"

his trial today. when a government
alienist testified that he was OF

Doctor Ralph Chambers, govern
