THE pogrom which is now going on

Cadillac is not thru with a third of
its victims, but the outcome of the
lynching party is already decided. II
the pogrom leaders will not con-
denim all the n of the accused, they
will tighten the sentences of few in
order to save their faces. The rage
OF the union membership will surely
not be aquieted by this trial. Oil is be-

the rank and file OF the union is de-
termined not to let injustice be victor

Wnat, tnen, is the outlook OF the
struggle? Which side has the best
possibilities for success?
THESE questions are on the lips of
thousands of individuals who are
involved in the struggle. And some
give various replies.
There is a certain element of senti-
mentalists, mainly observers from the
outside, who do not analyze the whole
situation but always in such cases
have definite solutions. Children. they
say, do not quarrel among yourselves,

Hutcheson Plays The
Ostrich Act
Especial to The Daily worksr)

DETROIT, Mich. The mess In
which brother" VIM. /. Hutcheson
has involved the DetrIot carpenters
movement In his attempt to out-ezar
the late Nicholas has been thrown In
bold relief by the events Of the past
week. Gear Hutchinson has ''edIcted"
that Local Union No. 11e1 Of Detroit
no longer exists and has notified men,
bers that unless they signed his yell
low dog pledge and transferred to an
other local they would forfeit their
rights as Individual members by June
18th.
That date has come and gone and
on Sunday, June 2S, the members Of
Local No. 1871 celebrated the opening
of their new home. At this celebra-
ton, Frank x. Martel, president of
the Detroit Federation of Labor, COM
plimented Local 1871 as being more
substantial than any or all other To-
Gals of carpenters in Detroit in main
tanning union wages and closed shop
conditions"
Everybody but Hutchinson.
Other speakers, including represen-
tatives of the four largest carpenters
locals spoke in a similar strain. AS
these statements are true it becomes
apparent what harm Hutcheson is do
ing the Detroit movement by expelling
Local 1871 merely because they refuse
TO accept his bullying. 1t also indi-
Gates that neither the carpenters
unions nor the general labor move
ment in Detroit are prepared to sac
rifice the unity of the movement to
the within of this peevish autocrat.
Hutcheson has decreed that all
members of those local unions not yet
expelled must sign the yellow dog
pledge or stand suspended by June Is.

not sign on the dotted line challenged

Thirty Per Cent Cut
Too Much for Lowell
Workers; Close Mill

LOWELL, Mass.-All departments
of the Lowell Silk Mills are closed
by the strike begun by so girls who
protested against wage cuts from a
re-assignment of work. Weavers de-
clare that their work would pay $149
instead of 1924 per 100000 picks on
one kind of work, which would equal
a cut of SIS a week on two-loom
weavers and So a week on three-loom
weavers. The majority of the work
ers find that their wages would be
cut about one-third under the new
scale and doubling up of work. The
T. U. E. L. has distributed many leaf
let's against wage cuts.

Correspondent Tells OF
Heroic Struggle
BY BERNARD TREM5AcH,
worker Correspondent

BROOKLYN, N. Y.-The workers
of the B. w. s. shoe factory, situated
on Powell street, Brooklyn. New York.
are still on strike. On this date, they
are completing the tenth week Of
their fight for better working condi-
tons. and complete unionization Of
the above factory.
Ten weeks, in which the workers
have had to combat the bosses, the
slackers in the ranks, and demoraIiza-
ton. The bosses have tried their
darndest to demoraliEe and disrupt
the strikers ranks by various clever
strategical moves.
They spread the rumor that they
we're going to leave the business to
sell out, in other words. Immediately
afterwards they told some of the
workers that they were going TO move
and were renting their loft out.
Spirit Of Victory.
Soon afterwards, one OF the bosses
asked a member of the strike commit
tee how long they were going to
strike The striker threw these words
into his boss teeth: Wen strike
until October, then put on our winter
coats, and keep on striking The
boss had no words to say in answer
TO this defiant statement.
The spirit Of the workers is uneabt-
able. The men give up practically all
of their time to strike and picket
duty.
As Usual.
Especially is It noticeable in the
left wingers of the crew. AS usual
the most militant, these men work all
hours Of the day and quite often, late
into the night. pieketing the shop, and
watching the bosses.
Right now there is a crisis. The
bosses are making their last desperate
stand. They decided to put all their
strength into one nnal, desperate
stand. They packed all their machin-
cry and material into trucks, hang out
sign, For Rent" and parked their
trucks in garagel
But did this strategic move make
the strikers lose hope and give up?i
Mo- they did not lose hope in the
least.
Just Move Picket Line.
On the contrary. recognizing this
last move for what it was, they went
about recognizing their forces, SC
they could discover where the bosses
were moving to, in order to place the
picket line, even before the work
started. about the factory.
They are converting this desperate
move. on the part of the bosses, into
further manifestation of the work
ers' power and ability and prove t.
the bosses concIusively that the strik
ers' militancy and fighting strength
will eventually triumph over the CAPT
talist forces.
Victory in Sight.
The bosses last defences are befn;
battered down. The strike is nearinl
its end. and the strikers are about

we were compelled to issue a leafiet
explaining the true situation. Their
yellow journals, like the Forward"
and other Socialist dailies slandered
us in their news and called us strike
breakers. But we are all undaunted.
We are being attacked on all fronts,
and we will fight them on all fronts.
Once and for all the corrupt official
dom must be dealt such a death blow
that it will never again venture to
resort to the tactics they have used
against us, to suppress US and main
tain their own power.
yellow workers, we ask your sup
port. The day watch and the night
watch, the picket line and the other
struggles in our union will go on,
but we want you to help us to carry
on our fight.
Do not permit the corrupt official
dom of our union, and their lying
press to make you believe in their
twisted and perverted version Of the
facts; do not let them convince you
that this is fight against Commun-
ism only; it is struggle for rank
and file control in our union. Il is a
fight for all that the progressive ele-
ments in all unions hold dear. Help
us with your moral and financial sup
port. Our fight is your fight. Our
victory is your victory. And with
your support, we cannot fail; we must
win.

mo Such Union"
Hutcheson's stamp Ticker, Frank
Duffy, has advised Local Union 2140
that the general Office has mo such
union" in Detroit and has returned
three months per capita tax sent in
to protect the rights of members some
of whom are credited with 40 years
membership at the general office.
1t will be remembered that Local
Union No. 214O circularized the
brotherhood regarding the illegal and
unconstitutional expulsion of its pres
ident, VIM. Reynolds, exercising a con-
stitutional right for which it is now
paying the extreme penalty.
Local Union No. 2140 made the
union wreckers of indianapolis think
twice and then change their minds on
this expulsion after they had resorted
to the use of police and injunctions.
Duffy is also to find himself a liar on
the above statement before the final
gong has sounded.
Not Through Vet.
Approximately 500 carpenters, in
Guiding two whole local unions. have
refused to sign this yellow dog pledge.
Hutcheson maintains that by this &C.
ton they have automatically suspend
ed themselves. If he gets away with
this autocratic bluff it will deprive the
Detroit carpenters of every yestige of
militant and aggressive leadership
and leave greatly weakened organ
ization led by a group of reactionary
lick-spittles to fight the most aggres-
sive open shop builders organizations
in the country.
The menace Of these dirsuptive ac-
tions goes far beyond the confines of
Detroit and threatens not only the
morale and integrity of the brother
hood, but must inevitably shatter the
organizational strength by which
wages and working conditions are
maintained.
1t behooves every carpenter to take
this up in his local union and call
Hutcheson to an accounting before he
wrecks what little organization has
as yet escaped the blight of arrogance.

LEE FAILS TO

Admire His Plan

CLEVELAND.-June goth dawned

the Railroad Trainmen as a weather
prophet was destroyed. Hot wealth
err" was the excuse used two weeks
ago by Lee to call off peace confer
ence between railway and labor ex-
ecutiVes to have met here June 20.
Lees other excuse, that many of
the rail presidents expected to be in
London for the International Railway
Congress proved as futile when Rail-
way Age, organ for the rail interests,
replied brusquely that only two or
three presidents plan attendance at
London"
Other Unions Cold.
The proposed conference was to
have been a sort of "get-together" to
prove that the interests of railway
men and their employers are "iden-
teal" Heads of other railway unions,
however, believe that cooperation be-
gins at home and declined to accept
invitations to the confab, remember
ing Lees policy in refusing to work
with the other organizations in wage
and political demands.
Lees scheme for a "get-together'
followed months of patient propagan-
da thru the columns of the Railway
Review, a weekly published in the
interests of the railways. The Gull
minating article, What Are We Co
ing to Do About It?" contained the
plan for the harmony meeting of ex-
ecutives and labor heads, now def
initely killed by the indifferences of
both sides.
No Strikes In Sight.
AS a matter of fact there is no par
ticular hostility between the execu-
tives and railway labor since the ac-
complishments of the postwar defla-
ton program.
The weakness of Lees scheme for
harmony was demonstrated by Lee
himself recently when he announced
regional conferences of trainmen to
seek in increase in wages. These
meetings are little but war councils
in effect, as the trainmen's executives
will consider the extent of claims to
be placed against the railroads and
measures TO be taken in case the
roads fail to "come thru"
