HOT HENCHMAN
OF CAPPELLINI
SHORT $4,000
Audit Discloses Lynch
Short in Accounts
BY PAT To0HEY.
lWorker Correspondentl

Pittston, Pa Jan. 5.-At meeting
Of the No. 9 colliery local here, Of
workers employed at the Even Col
liery of the Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany, which is rabid supporter Of
"Rino" Cappellini, it was disclosed
the funds to the extent Of $4,000 are
unaccounted for.
The meeting was specially called
for the purpose of ascertaining the
authenticity Of rumors floating about
the city for weeks that the local union
officialdom were involved in gigan-
tic swindle of local union finances.
The meeting developed into a hery
session at the start and continued as
such until its adjournment PCS
Auditors Report $4,000 Missing.
District auditors who were working
on the local union books for the past
few days reported a shortage Of some
$4,000. They showed that the last
audit made in March of 1925, Michael
Lynch the union treasurer, had on
hand the sum of s2,s66.OS, and since
then receipts from dues and assess
ments as indicated in reports turned
over by the financial and recording
secretaries Of the local the amount
has increased to s13,015.65, making a
grand total due to the treasury OF
s15,9S1.73. The auditors state the
treasurer has on hand but $225,25.
The local Immediately appointed a
committee to sue for recovery of
$4,000 on the Lynch's bond, Scranton
firm having bonded him to that extent
when he entered office.
Strong cappeIllni Men.
The local ofticialdom of this union
are rabid supporters of Cappellini. For
months now there has been whispers
that the Even local has not been con-
Quoted as it should. Cappellini on
many occasions has defended the reac-
! tionary swindling officials of this local
/ Lynch and the others involved in this
steal were active supporters of Cap
pellini in the recent district election,
the Tri-District convention and tne
convention Of District One, U. M. w
of A.
Lynch cannot produce the cancelled
checks for what this money was used
for. In his defense he states -four
strangers" called at his house and
took the books away, including the
cancelled checks which we're taken
from the bank that day. This sounds
too weak for any intelligent man to
believe, particularly when one takes
into consideration what has been go
ing on in this local within the past
few years and what part Lynch,
among others, played in the proceed
ings.

BOSSES TEACH
LABOR LESSON
IN SOLIDARITY
But Break Up Workers
DUN Organization
BY A Worker Correspondents

When workers. unions are broken
up the bosses, does this mean that
the bosses at the same time dishand
their own organizations? Just the
contraryl Bosses unions become all
the stronger in fighting the workers
and they maintain their organization
in order to keep the workers down
and to gain a monopoly In their own
business az we'll.
This Is illustrated by Chicago box
making firms. A year ago Maxwell
Bros. box shop at 23 South Morgan
burned down. But their statesmen con-
tinued turning orders for boxes
just as if nothing had happened to
the shop. Strange to say, the orders
were all accepted and were filed, too.
A few days ago. Goodwillie's big
shop at 22nd and South Racine was
destroyed by fire. But this did not
stop the company from receiving and
filing all orders. All the other shops
in the neighborhood of the wrecked
plant suddenly became rushed with
business.
This indicates how much solidarity
the box manufacturing firms show
and how they help each other out
when in trouble. But most of the
former union boxmakers still believe
that when their union was busted up,
the bosses followed suit by giving up
their own organization as well.

Then he hired a waitress whom he

you ask me before you gave the or

The funny part of II is that he

WHAT SORT OF
UNITED FRONT
IS QUESTION
VIII A. c. w. Fight
Wage Cuts?
BY w. JAFFE
Local IA, A. c. w. of A.

/ l read in the Forward a big write
up about the Amalgamated, that the
general executive board went on re-
cord for united front.
would like to know, fellow Anal
gamated members, what kind of a
united front do they mean? Do they
mean that they will combine with the
workers in the shops, and will they
protect our conditions?
How About Wage Cuts?
Will they help US fight against re-
ductions and adjustments, and will
they stop throwing out members
from the Amalgamated for free ex
preston?
Will they stop taking away bread
and butter from our Amalgamated
members for agitating against mis-,
treatment in the shops, and also STOP
gangsterism, and start to organize the
unorganized tailors in this country!
What Sort Of United Front?
II our leaders will accept that kind
Of united front then the workers will
stand by your united front, If this is
understood
II they mean united front like
they had till now that means that they
are not working in the interest OF the
Amalgamated but they are working in
their own interest.
1t is about time, fellow Amalgamat-
ed members, you should wake up. We
members Of the Amalgamated have a
right to express our opinions and de-
eide things without being interrupted
and slugged by gangsters.
Fellow members of the Amalgamat-
ed, appeal to you that you all wake
up and fight for your interest and for
your fellow workers as a wholel

Miners Prominent In
Army of Unemployed
at Steel Mills Doors
~ A Worker Correspondent

MONESSEN, Pa, Jan. 5-Hundreds
Of men are being laid of at the local
steel mills. The bosses have taken
their inventory and checked up on
each department, and several were
given notice to get their time from
each department
The steel trust knows that it holds
the trump hand. Men are fired for
the least little thing. Each day hun
dreds Of men swarm to the mill gates
in the morning, and evening, and they
have plenty to replace the ones they
do not like.
The mines being closed down there
are plenty of unemployed in this dis

This article does not deal exactly
with the meat packing industry in
this country, but Alaska is an Ameri-
can territory, the packing companies
ARE American, and most all the labor
is shipped from American ports.
Diseased Workers Handle Fish.
The labor used in actual handling
of the fish before 1t is canned is for
the most part Mexican contracted by
Chinese concerns. Nine out Of ten
shiploads of these men are shang-
haied, and do not know where they
are going until they get far out to sea.
Their health is the poorest. They
range from the mildest form of lung
trouble to the worst of dope fiends and
syphilitics. I've seen men go to work
handling fish all day that any doctor
would give up as perfectly hopeless
cases. Many never return from the
northland.
In my position as a mess-boy, l had
every chance in the world to investi-
gate the conditions in the cannery /
was employed in. Once during the
season the general manager of the
company goes from cannery to can
merry with the government inspectors.
The superintendent of the cannery
is informed that his cannery is to be
inspected on a certain day. Before
that arrives he tells his Mexican boss
to send the worst of the diseased men
to their bunkhouses for that day. He
then recruits from the mess-boys as
many as he can to fill the vacancies
or else shuts down one of the lines
for that day. Everything is cleaned
up and ready for inspection. The
day following inspection everything
and everybody goes back to the regu.
lar routine. Cleanliness is unknown
in the canneries except for that one
day.
