PLAIN, Pa March 1o.-The Pro-
gressIve MInkrs' Committee has put up

show that John II. Lewis is presenting
to the membership of District 1, Of
the United Nine Workers Of America
in the district elections. Against Cap

have nominated Bernard Zaleska, of

president. The candidate for vice
president is John Witcunas, Local

The local capitalist papers, particu-

furious attacks on the progressive
candidates. They are using the same
kind of language that Lewis has hurl-

The takers are trying to liquidate
the grievance committees which were
established by Cappellini before he
turned renegade. All local unions
have received communications from
the district executive board command
ing the immediate dissolution of these
bodies. Many local unions are non-con-

ARPENTERS IN
LOCAL 1871 TO

PresentIncumbent Is I'm
able to Function

When the second vice-president of
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners came to Chicago to rub
some soothing ointment into the
wounds of Local 1S1, three things hap
pened that he did not have on his
menu.
First, a special meeting was -au-
thorized to elect a new president of
the local since the present acting
president was not able to function.
The election will be held two weeks
from last Monday night.
To Insure Exact Information
Secondly-Several letters were read
from local unions asking information
about the expulsion of the five men,
bers. A motion was made that the
secretary Inar Larson should reply to
the communications, but the members
not being over-confident in the in
tegrity of Larson, amended the mo-
ton so that Larson must read his re-
plies to the local before they are for
warded.
Thirdly-A motion was. passed al
most unanimously demanding that the
general Office order new trial for ne
Illegally expelled members or that the
charges against them be dropped and
they be restored to full membership
rights in the organization.
AS the expelled members had agreed
with the committee elected by a pre-
vious meeting to look into the case,
to stay away from last Monday nights
meeting, they were not present, but
appeared at Locals 80 and 416 and
were given splendid reception when
they related the story of their ex-
pulsion.
Further developments in the big
struggle between the militant car
penters and the reactionaries will be
told in future issues.

ONE REAL LEADER
Workers Party Only
One Appearing

OAKLAND, Cal, Mar. 10.-Last
Sunday, the unemployed of Oakland
met again after having previously been
turned down by the mayor, or rather
the city council, in their demands for
work at union wages, or maintenance.
After rousing meeting, addressed by
several representatives of organized
labor CA. F. ofEL.) and Mother Bloor,
it was decided to meet this morning
at IL o'clock at the Oakland city hall
and present their grievances again. A
leaflet was issued Tuesday afternoon
calling on the iobless to turn out.
Out of more than 5000 registered
unemployed in Oakland more than 600
showed up Wednesday morning at the
city hall, but none of the A. F. of L.
leaders" of the unemployed put in an
appearance, and the organized move
ment-what little that has been ac-
complished, was in great danger of
falling to pieces, just to the liking of
the parasites who feel the whole move
ment to be extremely annoying, and
only too glad to- be able to wash their
hands of the whole mess. But ii was
not to be pushed aside so easily. 1t
was a way of hanging on.
The Workers (Communist) Party
represented by Mother Bloor, was the
speaker She drew large crowd and
apparently took the breath away from
the city officials All seemed to be
quite taken by surprise, as we'll, by
the audacity iof anyone daring to
speak publiclyfor labor from the steps
of our very ownvbeautiful city hall.
She was mott molested and finished
her address sooner than expected due
to the street becoming rather crowd.

The unemployed learned one thing,
at least, fromitheir brief experience,
and that is thatathey can rely on the
Workers (Communist) Party not to
lead them intosac blind alley and then
desert them.
Another meeting will be called Sun.
day when It is hoped their brief ex.
periences with "our" city officials will
develop into some further action for
relief.
