Again the question Of industrial de-

when Delegate T. w. Mccullough was
reporting for the executive councils
report committee, stating that, mod
ern industrial development has gone

abreast of it."
The report declares that, "since

known such manipulation Of enter
prise as makes the high finance of
the earlier part of the century appear
like the innocent amusement Of anna
tours"
1t cites the fact that thousands of

FIGHT PICKETS
JAILED AT The
DWOREIN SHOP
Strikers Ignore Court
Order to Stop

HARTFORD, Conn, October IA
Eight members of the Hartford Up
holsterers' Union, Local No. S5, who
are now on strike, were arrested for
picketing the B. Dworkin shop. In
spite Of the injunction that was taken
out by Dworkin on Sunday, October
10, 1925, the workers went out on the
picket line as before.
After awhile the constable, who was
called up by Mr.. Dworkin, came and
arrested Abraham Rosenthal, Morris
Jacknis; Louis Nordkin; Ralph Nit
tica, Louis Nirenstein, Joseph Gold
farb, Abraham Gilden and Louis
Bernstein.
When the union lawyer came over
to the police station to take out the
strikers it was impossible for him to
find out who the officers were that
were responsible for this arrest.
AT the strike meeting the Jailed
strikers who were taken out by the
lawyer without bail were cheered by
all the strikers and took their places
as honorary members at this meeting.
These young workers, who never had
any experience with strikes, police, or
in1unctions seemed to take all these
things as good old time union mem
bers should.

Delegates Shachtman and Sorkin of

the convention today and were seated
thru special report of the credentials

1t was ordered that the American
members of a joint commission Of the
American and Mexican Federations Of

This was being urged especially by
California trade unionists.

and, referring to the coal industry 1t
stated that, lin no other country does
coal cost so much per ton in human
life as in the United States" Ohio
compensation laws were commended
to the delegates from other states.
Short Appeals for Suzzalo.
In response to an appeal by Presi-
dent William M. Short OF the Wash
ington Federation of Labor, the conven-
ton protested against the discharge
Of Henry Suzzalo, advocate OF the
eight-hour law, as president OF the
Washington State University, to be
succeeded by Stephen Miller, educa-
tionaI director of the National Bank
ers' Association.
"This is Just another evidence of
the stranglehold the employing inter

The convention approved the issu-
ing of a press service for the labor
and general press. The A. F. of l..
now has several press services. Just
what this new effort will be was not
revealed. Local labor committees on
education were urged as well as COM
pulsory school attendance laws.

Say Little on Wage Policy.
This convention has said very little
about "the new wage theory" promul-
gated at Atlantic City last year. No
effort has been made to show that 1t
has brought results.
Declarations were adopted endors-
ing cooperation between unions and
management, providing for the union
management scheme that is supposed
to combat and eliminate company
unions. 1t is declared:
MANY open shop managements in

unions. But they are essentially and

week received their scheduled raise
In wages, announced that they had
voted to add to their assessment the
increase they had received. Their
wages were increased from 81 to

greeted with great applause. The
outfitters of the same company did
the same thing last week, when they
received their increase.
AS practically every garment worker
in Chicago is scheduled for an increase
this week, it is expected that they will
all follow the lead of the handsewers,
pressers, and outftters, and donate
their increase to the cause of the New

The joint board was instructed at
the meeting to wire the New York
union greetings from the Chicago
workers, expressing their approval of
the militancy with which the strike is
being conducted, and promising all the
financial aid possible.

WORKERS TURN
TO LEFT WING.
SAYS FOSTER
Bureaucrats Afraid to
Organize Masses
(sy Federated Press.)

DETROIT, Oct. 14.-Without a
single ultra-radical delegate at the
46th annual convention of the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor, the Reds
gathered in nearby hall Oct. IL and
gave expression to their judgment on
the state Of affairs IN the trade union
movement in America.
Their spokesman was William 2.
Foster, secretary Of the Trade Union
Educational League and member Of
the central executive committee of
the Workers (Communist) Party of
America. He had heard himself de-
nounced that afternoon by the men
he paid his respects to in the even
ing. His presence in the federation
gallery had been reported to John l..
Lewis of the miners.
The Workers Are Getting Wise.
Foster was in high spirits as he
addressed the 500 workers in McCol-
lester hall. "They are afraid Of the
left wing over at the convention" he
declared, 'and they have reason to
be. They are proposing all sorts of
schemes to aid the boss in speeding
up production, they are fighting with
the employer against the worker IN
stead of with the worker against the
employer. The worker is finding that
out and is turning to the left wing.
Fear to Organize Masses.
1.-THE trade union bureaucrats don't
want to organize the basic industries.
That would endanger their soft jobs, "
he further charged. "If the semi
skilled and and the unskilled are or
gained, that will mean new leader
ship and new leaders in the fedora
ton. The monopoly of the skilled
crafts will go by the board. The
great body of American workers will
then have an inning and these labor
takers will get fred"

trend, as he termed it, of American
trade unionism since the war, point.

and attempt to haul away the coal.
The miners and their sympathlzers,
however, could not see things this

results you can imagine.
