national that Purcell sees as ne
ing class.
Timothy Healey, president of the
Stationary and Marine Engineers In
ternational Union introduced Purcell
at his first meeting and said he want
ed the world to know that there were
labor men in America who we're not
afraid to fight for international work
ing class unity.
Louis Hyman, manager of the New
York joint board of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union gave
an ardent talk for world solidarity OF
the toilers; P. Pascal Cosgrove, or.
ganizer of the Shoe Workers Protect
i've Union, reported that what he saw
in Russia three years ago was very
good from labor standpoint. Alfred
Bolton of the New York stereotypers
and 9th T unionists added their voices
for the program.
Warm Response in Mexico, Too
Purcell sailed on the Berengeria
happy in the thought that the ice OF
American labor isolation was not SO
firmly set. His manager tells of en-.
thusiastic meetings in Boston, For.
onto, Montreal, Pittsburgh, Cleveland
Chicago, Detroit, st. Louis, Kansas
City, Baltimore and smaller cities and
Purcell himself reports the warmest
response from the Mexicon labor
movement which routed him thru the
cities in the republic to the south OF
us.
In Montreal James Simpson, vice
president of the Canadian Trades and
Labor Assembly declared his desire
to go with the trade union delegation
that he believes will investigate Rus
sian affairs for American unions, and
in American cities the local trade
union conferences that sponsored the
Purcell meetings are going on with
the agitation here. The money left
over from the $1,1OO given at the two
New York meetings will be the
nucleus for the treasury such a trip
will need. /,
Must Bring In Russian Unions
If a delegation to Russia is made
up of men who know the insides OF
workshop and the functioning of trade
unions it will see the facts the British
trade union delegation reported" said
. Purcell.
"The six million Russian union men
are as bona tide union movement as
the British or the American, and their
miners, for instance, have won better
conditions for themselves than the
miners in any other part : the world
No world program for the workers
can be a success without the coopera
ton Of this great Russian movement
Purcells argument for Russian in,
clusion into an all-embracing interna
tional is a workday and practical one
Imperialism is grinding down the
workers of Asia and Africa at a few
pence day and is using their pro
4 ducts to beat down our own condi
lions. Unless we bring them up we
will go down, says the chairman OF
the |. r. r. U. The world labor move
ment must meet the challenge.
Beware Black international.
Wherever Imperialism sets its foot
whether in Indian China, Japan Oh
Siam there must our organization
unite the victims to raise their stand
ards. World trade union unity fol-
action against Imperialism and for the
mutual protection and betterment OF
the workers. Il will take the united
power Of the worlds workers: the job
is too big for just part OF the move
ment alone.
And as to the cutlery against the
reds that is hating the unity move
ment. Purcell warns; Beware that
in your fear OF the Red international
YOU do not fall into the arms OF the
htanL 40 nffattaf International
