BIG TIM MURPHY RELEASED
Chicago Labor Misleader Ends
Prison Term

LEAvENWoRTH, Kan, March 25.
-"Big Tim" Murphy, Chicago labor
leader, who is serving a four-year
term in the penitentiary here for the
Dearborn station mail robbery which
netted $4,000 in 1921, will be re-
leased tomorrow morning after hav-
ing received time of for good behR-
vior
Murphy was the head Of the gas
workers union at a fancy salary, and
when he was sent to the penitentiary
the union control was handed over to
his wife and brother, a sort OF family
affair, where Murphy generously milks
the membership to maintain his own
luxury.
Murphy is the type Of Tabor leader"
of the Robert Brindell caAber, who
are unfortunately too often found in
the American labor movement. Con-
nection with the underworld and with
the bosses are far closer in the unions
they control than connections with
the live struggle Of the working class.
The daily worker., 1926-03-27

policy that makes such an agreement
possible will have to be repudiated.
The New York Problem.
It is certain that one of the big
problems before the convention will
be the New York problem. 1t concerns
the whole Amalgamated and the en-
tire needle trades. In order to fight
the membership to increase dues, esta-
blish piece work, to maintain an in
efficient corrupt officialdom against
whom the membership was revolving,
the Hillman administration forcibly
with the use Of gangsters and police
foisted upon the New York organiza-
tion a dictator, a Mussolini, in the
form of A. Beckerman. A reign of
violence and terrorism against the
membership unprecedented in the an
nails of the labor movement has been
initiated by Beckerman. Instead of
improving the conditions in the indus
try, instead Of organizing the industry,
members were driven out of their
jobs, fined heavily and expelled from
the organization. Dues have been in
creased in spite Of the fact that the
overwhelming majority of the locals
have voted down an Increase.
Now when Beckerman should be
concerned about problems concerning
the New York organization, he is
using that organization in an effort to
break the general strike Of the Fur
riers Union.
This act of the administration in.
foisting Beckerman upon the New
York organization typifies the whole
character Of the Hillman bureaucracy.
The progressive workers must do
everything In their power to develop
strong movement for the removal
Of Beckerman for his disruptive tao
tics, against the Amalgamated mem
bership and the furriers' general
strike.
These are some of the main issues
facing the delegates who will attend
the seventh convention. The seventh
convention will mark a fight between
the progressive militant forces and
the Hillman administration, that has
been forced to discard its mask OF
fake progressivism.

tant worker is bounded and terrorized.
Workers are thrown out of their jobs
because they disagree with the poll
cies of the administration. Old stand
ing loyal members of the organization
have been expelled ana driven out of
the union because they advocate the
adoption of progressive measures and
oppose the policies and practices Of
the Hillman bureaucracy. This has
resulted in demoralizing the union,
creating acute dissatisfaction among
the membership and threatens the
very existance of the organization.
THE failures of the administration
l. in the past two years are the re-
suit of the conscious policy Of class
collaboration pursued by the Hillman
administration. Not a single general
strike affecting a single market has
taken place. In Chicago where the
Amalgamated is strongest, wage cuts
have been agreed to without a strug-
gle on the part of the union. The
policy of class collaboration has only
resulted in worse economic conditions
for the workers, and chaos, demorali-
cation and anarchy in the organiza-
tion. The infamous Nash agreement
is the logical outcome Of this policy.
What is the Nash agreement? 1t is
the b. & o. plan for the needle trades.
1t is an agreement for years dura-
tion. During the years 1t provides
for arbitration. An arbitrator is ap-
pointed with absolute power to settle
every dispute. 1t does not provide
for a union shop because II gives the
manufacturer the right to hire either
union or non-union labor. II does not
guarantee against discharge. The
manufacturer has the absolute right
to discharge. It has not provided for
living wage scale, but agreed upon
the starvation wages prevailing in the
Nash establishments. This agree
ment has been hailed by the Hillman
administration as an outstanding
achievement. II is the most vicious
class collaboration agreement in the
needle industry. 1t is menace to
every worker in the clothing indus
try. Unless the Nash agreement is re.
pudIated Il will become a pattern for
agreements in all other markets and
will be the instrument for undermin.

and worse. Even in the markets that
are supposed to be well organized,
wage reductions have taken place. The
union in all markets has supported a
policy Of making individual readjust-
ments with the manufacturers at the
expense of the workers. In all markets
the union has agreed to speeding up,
piece work, standards of production,
etc, with the result that the manu-
facturers with less workers now pro-
duce more garments than they did
heretofore. 1t is no wonder that in
such large and important markets as
New York and Chicago, reductions in
working forces continually take place.
No organlzational Successes.
The union has failed in the last two
years to conduct successful organi-
cation campaign. An outstanding
example Of the incapability Of the ad-
ministration in this respect is the
failure Of the Philadelphia campaign.
The administration is not concerned
with organizing the industry.
In organized centers the union has
failed to maintain the organizational
strength. This is especially true of
New York. Here thousands of work
ers have been lost to the organization.
Scab shops and sweat shops abound
everywhere. The union is unconcern-
ed about their existence, as 1t is un-
concerned about the thousands OF un-
ion men, who, as a result, are un'
employed.
In the organization proper an ex-
pensive Bureaucratic machine is main
tanned. This machine is maintained
in many places against the expressed
wishes OF the rank and file. In order
to maintain this bureaucratic machine
high dues are enforced upon the mem
bership, and exhorbitant assessments
levied. This bureaucratic machine Is
made up OF elements that are corrupt
incapable, and reaetionary. Any op
position that is expressed against the
bureaucratic machine is crushed with
brutality and the democratic provi'
slons OF the organizations constitu-
ton completely ignored.
A Reign Of Terror.
In many places elections are fraud
ulently conducted and the will OF the
members violated. Locals are reorgan.
lied and the rightfully elected officers
either suspended or expelled. Local
maatings are not held and when held
they are placed under the tutelage Of
gangsters who terrorize and prevent
the membership from expressing
themselves. Every progressive mill

More laundries will be opened In

it is said, since Seattle has already
given the example OF how strong a
union cooperative laundry can be
built. The Chicago laundries are based
on the Seattle experience.
