In contrast with class collaboration
policy followed at the Atlantic City

stalwart enemy of capitalism. 1t was
Purcell who introduced the following
resolution on imperialism at the re-
cent congress of the British trade
unions at Scarborough:
This Congress believes that the
domination of non-British peoples by
the British government is a form of
capitalist exploitation, having for its
object the securing for British capital
lists (D Of cheap sources of raw ma
terials: (2) the right to exploit cheap
and unorganized labor, and to use the
competition of that labor to degrade
the workers standards in Great Brit
ain.
1T declares its complete opposition
to Imperialism and resolves: "a to
support the workers in all parts of
the British empire to organize trade
unions and political parties in order
to further their interest: and 81 to
support the right of all peoples in the
British empire to self-determination
including the right to choose complete
separation from the empire"
The trade union committee for or
ganizing the Purcell meeting has an
nounced that its next conference will
be held on Sunday, November 18th. at

NEW YORK, Nov. o.-HenIamin
citIow, member Of the Central Exc.
cutive Committee Of the Workers
Party and candidate FOR vice-president
Of the Workers (communist) Party in
the presidential elections of 1924, has
been taken TO Sing Sing prison to
serve the unexpired portion Of his
term.
Gitlow was sentenced TO a term of
from to 10 years for violation of
the New York criminal syndicalist
law in the court of Judge Weeks in
New York City, January. 1920. This
verdict was later upheld by the state
supreme court and finally by the
United States supreme court.
Helped Organize Left Wing
Gitlow had been arrested in Noy
1919 for his participation in the organ
ization of the left wing movement in
the socialist party and for the pub
LEGATION of the Left Wing Manifesto"
which, was issue by the central com
mittee of the left wing group.
His trial before Judge Weeks short
ly followed his arrest. In this court
the Judge made no attempt to hide
his bias against Gitlow and passed the
sentence of from to 10 years with
great glee.
Serves a Months in Prison
After he had served twenty-seven
months of his sentence, Gitlow was
released on appeal to the New York
state supreme court on May l. 1922
The state supreme court upheld the
verdict Of the lower court and Gitlow
was remanded to Sing Sing in the
month Of September.
Gitlow was released from Sing Sing
on writ of error. January, 1929, and
the case was appealed to the United
States supreme court. The United
States supreme court upheld the con-
stitutionality of the New York Grimm
al syndicalist act and the verdict of
the New York court and has now
ordered Gitlow to serve the unexpired
portion of his term.

than to bother with drafting
new plans, participating in the dis

adopting resolutions and helping ITO
reconstruct our union on new and
solid foundation.
For many the call of a convention
was not clear enuf and the ordinary
worker delegate who was elected to
the convention Unexpectedly, got lost
there. The politicians and their ad-
juncts Immediately got him over to
their side, making tool of him for
themselves.
How many delegates at the last
convention Of 1924 understood the in
tricate language of the amended CON
stitution which they adopted by Civ
ing their votes?
The president was given more
power by his clique than the sultan
Of Turkey. 1t was the president who
hired lawyer to amend the constitu-
tion and by his orders the amended
constitution was adopted without Civ
ing a copy Of the amended articles to
the delegates to read and discuss.
A Fine Piece of Reaction.
Here is an extract of the Intricate
of the amended constitution
which was not put to referendum
vote of local unions for adoption:
Article 81: Section z: Any con-
duct which shall tend to undermine
the solidarity Of members, or to fos-
ter dissension among the members or
shall otherwise be injurious to the in
terests of this union, or of any of its
members or injurious to any other
bonatide labor organizations or to the

conduct unbecoming a member of
this organization shall be considered
a violation of this constitution. To
SANDER the union or its officers or to
call or actively participate in unau-

union or it's officers or to join an or

The following is the Interpretation
into ordinary working mems jargon:
