RED BAITERS
STILL DISRUPT
MINNEAPOLIS
Culinary Workers Not
Fooled by Fakers

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July H.
Mr.. R. E. Crosby. international organ
izer of the Hotel and Restaurant EN-
ployes and International Association
of Bartenders, has paid our town a
visit, for the purpose of making a
TRADE against the Reds.
In statement issued to the capi-
talist press, as becomes a nice re-
spective red batter, who always gets
the most cordial cooperation from
the degenerate sheets Of capitalism,
Mr.. Croskey said:
The Great "Menace."
Unless the rank and file of organ
ized labor in Minneapolis awakes to
the menace of Communists and l. w.
W.. who are steadily fighting for more
underhanded power, legitimate organ
dzed labor will lose in a very short
time those benefits 1t took years to
secure"
Mr.. Croskey, unfortunately, did not
recite what those benefits are, es-
pecially in connection with the culin-
ary trades here.
Where are Your "5enefIts?"
There are thousands Of unorganized
culinary workers in this city, working
for low wages and many for their
meals. Also the laws protecting
women workers in the trade. are being
daily violated
However Mr. Croskey has nothing
to offer these thousands of workers,
but rather is engaged in the stool
pigeon work of denouncing those ele-
ments in the unions who are press
ing for the organization of these
sweated trades.
Aids the Bosses.
Could the citizens alliance ask for
better representation of its point Of
view, than that which Mr.. Croskey
furnishes the Shiny press gratis?
Moreover, Leslie Sinton of the
Cooks, is personally responsible for
the disorganized condition of the cul.
mary trades.
Only few years ago, there existed
strong locals of both the walters and
mattresses. Today they are non-ex-
istent. Why?
Red 6aiters, Always Disrupters.
Sinton, the prize red batter, never
lost an opportunity to fight the wait
resses in the assembly as we'll as in
the joint of board of the culinary,
trades. 1t was his policy, then as it is
now, to wreck the walters and wait
resses' locals, so that the Cooks could
scab on the other workers without
danger Of being showed up as such;
so that Sinton could operate without
hindrance, in writing his black page
in the local labor movement
Nobody Trusts Red Batter.
Today the name Sinton is the sign
of disorganization which hangs over
the Cooks Union.
Moreover, every waiter and waitress
in this town is conscious of his de.
structive influence, which is largely
maintained on the basis of the sup
port which he gets from such gentle
men as Mr. Croskey.

But Mr.. Croskey, as the real labor
faker that he is. is. of course, not
interested in organizing the thousands
OF unorganized in the culinary trades.
II he was, he would do something
more constructive; something more
betting labor organizer, than vom-
iting his nastiness on those honest
workers who possess program of
organization, which. II followed out
would induce the exploited workers of
the culinary trades, TO join the union.

= That program is amalgamation of
the culinary trades; a recognition that
the interests of all culinary workers,
are the concern of all.
It is this working class program
that Mr.. Croskey is out to fight to-
gether with the Sintons, and which
causes him to play the role OF Judas
