Unanimous Strike Vote

PAWTUCKET, R. 1.-The Paw

strikebreakers will be imported to take
the places of operatives who refuse t.
accept the wage reduction of 10 PEI
cent made by the company last week
This is the first instance in New
England where a mill owner an
nounced that strikebreakers will be
used. The 200 employees walked out
last Tuesday in protest against the
wage reduction.
At the same time the 400 workers a
the Greenhalgh Mills of Pawtuckei
voted almost unanimously to strike
unless the order reducing wages 10
per cent is rescinded. This company
is also reported as planning to impor-
strikebreakers.
Fifty weavers Of the Manville mill

LEFT WING hit
HUTCHINSON HARD
IN CARPENTERS
Brown Makes Noise Like
Tame Clam

In spite Of the rigid control Of the
union machinery and fragrant stealing
Of ballots, President Hutchinson had to
count nearly $4,000 votes against him.
This is remarkable showing, and
without question is the real reason
why Hutchinson, following the lead and
advice of his pal John L. Lewis, is
starting out on an expulsion campaign
against thee leaders of those who led
the fight against him. The official vote
given out is as follows:
For President, VIM. L. Hutchinson.
1895.
For President, Willis K. Brown
34,sos. ne
For President, Morris Rosen, e,o14.
This is very encouraging to the pro
gressive carpenters, with very weak
machinery, running for the first time
candidate upon definite left wing
program. Morris Rosen's vote was un
doubtedly over 10000. The outstanC
ing fact is, that Hutcheson had to
count 5000 Of these votes.
Again Willis K Brown, paraded as
a progressive, was accepted by many
progressives on the rather veal
grounds that Rosen had no chance tt
win. This is rather popular but falla
cious idea that the main objective is t.
beat Hutchinson by supporting any op
ponent no matter how reactionary h,
may be.
The vote cast for Brown, generally
speaking, is progressive vote, ant
has thrown Hutchinson into a PAM.
He is now investigating F. w. Bur
CESS, Browns manager, who is un
doubtedly slated for expulsion. So far
none of the candidates who opposed
Hutcheson has been threatened wit
expulsion. Brown, if he retains char
acteristic Coolidge silent opposition
will not be touched. However, we
prophesy that Morris Rosen or his
campaign manager is next in line.

Urges Amalgamation
By Textile Worker.

CLIFTON, N. 1.-THE Amalgamat-
ed Textile Workers of America does
not exist any more" so wrote the gen.
eral secretary of that union, Russell
Palmer, to one of the locals and also
to a member Of the general executive
board
The leaders were known to some
members, but the rest did as the gen.
eral secretary-treasurer-editor desired
In the convention Of May, 1924,
about 10 candidates were nominated
for the executive board. Six or seven
were elected thru referendum vote
The general executive board shoule
meet every three months, but none
was held.
Mr.. Russell Palmer and Mr.. Derrick
the general organizer, did everything
so they did what they wished witt
the locals, the money, furniture and
the union.
In the convention Of 1923 and 1924
also, efforts were made to get started
with amalgamation-"On Union for
all Textile Workers"-but the leaders
fixed it so that resolution would be
killed. Nevertheless, amalgamation 4
coming anyhow.
The leaders may see it coming and
therefore destroy the union rather
than permit amalgamation. Fellow
workers, the only way to make some
real success in our struggle is to have
a union of all the textile workers.
Therefore, push the leaders in your
local for amalgamation-no worker is
against it.

MINI. UNIONISTS
GATHER TO HEAR
LEFT WING CASE
Good Spirit and Good
Support Shown
BY CARL sKoGLUND.
Especial to The Daily Worker)

MINNEAPOLIS. MINI, Feb. "A
big mass meeting was held in the Uni
tartan church here Friday About 200
trade unionists responded to the cal
to hear explanations made on the cam.
paign that is going on in the local la
Dor movement to exclude the Com
munists.
G. A. Halfway explained at length
the program Of the T. U. E. L. and
showed that the Communists are not
in the trade union movement for the
purpose Of destroying the labor un
ions, but for the purpose of build
ing and Strengthening them.
Can Build Unions Only BY Struggle
He also showed that in order to
build the labor movement, to fight in
the interest Of the working class, this
movement must be built on class
struggle basis and not on a collabora
ton policy.
Walter Frank explained the condi-
ton of the building trades union. He
showed that the reason for the inabil-
ity and disintegration Of the unions
was due to the inability of the leaders
to fight a militant battle in the inter
est Of the workers, and not as the la.
Dor takers wish to convey that the
Communists are the destroyers Of the
labor movement.
Stevens Proves Case with Documents
Dan w. Stevens, expelled member
from the assembly, explained tn,
charges that he made before the as
sembly at the time of his expulsion
against the officials of the American
Federation of Labor.
He proved by documents that what
he stated was correct and the reason
for the complaints were not becaus,
they were lies but on the contrary
they were helping to expose the aim
and workings Of the leaders who wish
to Detray the workers.
Enthusiasm and Support.
All the workers present received
speeches with great enthusiasm an6
manifested great desire to stand be
hind and support the Communists il
their local fight.
More meetings of this kind will be
arranged in the near future to make
it possible for the workers of Mime
apolis to know the facts about tho
fight from time to time.

1t the opportunity of the visiting mil
itants. David Coutts opened up will
a barrage on the apathy of the trade
unions toward this vital question an6
mentioned some Of the tricks Of tn,
forces of reaction opposing the amend
ment. He stated that he was well &C
qainted with the labor movement il
Council Bluffs and knew it to be pro
gressive in the past but that now the
central body had given up Leadership
thru carelessness or failure to recog

campaign strong enough to be heard

Then J. E. Snyder, district organ
izer Of the Workers Party, gave some
facts as to the power Of the, opposi
ton and the danger of defeat Of the
amendment thru lack of action upon
the part of the labor unions. He ha6
visited a farmers convention at Des
