viz, to combat radicalism and promot
applause from the labor patriots fol-
lowed by those delegates they are still

A Hopeful Pesslnnist.
On Tuesday the international presi-
dent of the Culinary Workers made a
speech in which he gave pessimistic
report Of conditions in the industry,
but, like a true Rabbit, he made a
show of optimism and declared that
while the industry was slack" it
would improve-"at least we hope
So"
To improve the conditions Of the in
dustry (not the conditions of the work
ers in it, he proposed that more time
be devoted to eating-a request to
the bosses to demand more service.
There were the usual perennial reso-
lutions, many Of them on public mat
ters only remotely concerned with the
workers. But the moment that the
resolutions submitted by the left wing
came UP for consideration the reac-
tionary character of those in control
became apparent.
Dehorn Demand for Repeal of c. 9.
Law.
1t was on the repeal of the criminal
syndicslism law that Their subserv-
fence to the politicians, their cow
ardice and fear Of action showed most
plainly. The resolution was adopted
only after the teeth were taken out
of it. AS adopted it "reaffirms our
opposition" The part which reads,
1--WE demand its repeal and instruct
our incoming officers and executive
board to use all available means to
secure its repeal" was deleted.
Left Wing Gains AS 1t Works.

support from the rank and file ele-
ments, from the proletarians.
Resolution No. 81, declaring opposi-
ton to and condemnation Of citizens
military training camps "and kindred
militarist institutions" was rejected
after a debate led Delegate Glober-
man (Cigarmakers).
Touchy on Labor Party.
Resolution No. 6S, demanding the
establishment of a labor party "broad
enough to embrace all groups in the
labor movement and with program
upon which all workers can unite"
went the same way. The leaders are
very touchy> upon this point. Political
dickering with capitalist politicians, in
which the tabor vote" is hawked
about, provides fertile field for
securing fat jobs-for the leaders.
Left Wing Scores First Victory

to the use of the public schools for
spreading open shop propaganda by

luton was carried
