Drive Reaetonaries to Cover.
Turnout the convention, the Com
munists have taken the offensive and
have driven the reactionaries either
to cover or out into the open. The
reactionaries refused to call to the
convention the. control commission,
several members OF which have brot
charges of corruption in the handling
of funds OF the Creation Orphanage.
The convention unanimously went on
record demanding that all members of
the commission be called to Cleveland.
The reactionaries driven into the
open, admit that there have been
mistakes" but.these have been made
"unconsciously." They are defending
themselves with all means at their
disposal, being militantly aided by the
two priests, whose religion is opposed
to "all corruption" The Communists
and progressives are not relenting but
are bringing into the open every bit
of evidence that can be ELECTED. A
fire of questions that embarrass the
reactionaries shows more and more
what men who are using the organiza'
ton for their own ends will do. The

The reactionaries contend that they
are all brothers and politics must not
be allowed to separate them. Politics
is a thing of a political party, they
say, and as the organization is not a
political party 1t must abstain from all
participation in political matters.
Political Action.
The Communists and worker dele
gates pointed out that politics is some
thing more than parliamentarism
When the workers go on strike, the
government interferes on the side of
the capitalists and thus demonstrates
that politics is something of every day
life. The Communists took the lead
in this fight, many Of them being on
the floor and hammering home the
truth of the class struggle and the
meaning and function of the capital
istic state. Many of the delegates are
miners and steel workers and have
felt the brutal clubs OF the capitalist
state on their heads. One of the pro-
gressives sagely remarked that nobody
can be free from politics. but that
there are two kinds of politics: cap
italist politics and working class
politics. What the. reactionaries want
is the preservation of capitalist pol.
itics in the organization. The reac-
tionaries led by two priests urged the
passage of the committee report. The
proposal of the committee passed by
vote of lat to 140.
Chairman Rules Convention.
As the convention uses no rules Of
order, but operates sometimes accord
ing to the convenience of the chair
man and sometimes according to
Roberts rules of order, the chairman
prevented a recount. If the bylaw
remains there will no discussion of
politics except capitalist politics. The
workers in the lodges are determined
TO take care" Of this bylaw when
strikes occur and will force the dis
cussion OF the issues nvolved--despite
reactionary opposition.
At one OF the sessions, the reaction
airy chairman proposed sending greet
ings to President Coolidge. This was
greeted with silence. but passed with
out opposition. After the recess, one

PASSA1C, N. 1.-THE youth meeting
held Tuesday night, May End, at Rus
sian School, turned out TO be a great
success. In spite of the fact that little
or no publicity was given to the meet
ing the hall was packed to the very
doors. This youth meeting called by
unions is something new In the Amer
lean labor movement, but not so for
the Passaic strikers, who have wit
messed several such meetings.
Many Of the young workers have
begun to fully realize the Importance
Of such meetings, and are responding
very quickly TO them. The meeting
had a very good supply OF speakers
on hand, and not considering the little
interruption by the police, everything
went well. All in all, there was seven
speakers on hand that did full justice
to the purpose Of the meeting. The
speakers were as follows: Mike Ella
six, Steven Gede, Miller, Rubenstein
and Silverfarb for the unions. Mike
Entratore, striking young furrier
spoke, representing the youth confer
ence of New York and vicinity. The
Young Workers League was very well
represented by AL Schaap. All speak
ers talked on some Of the many youth
problems that confronted young strik
ers. The speakers pointed out the
rotten open-shop conditions they werC
compelled to work under in the past
how the young workers were com

to stand for abuse at all times, with

REACTION RULES
PENNSYLVANIA
LABOR Meeting
Convention E n d ors e $
Old Party Candidates
DE- a Worker correspondent

ERIE, Pa, May 1.-THE Pennsyi-
vania State Federation Of Labor at
its convention here endorsed candi-
dates ON the open shop republican
party tickets. Without referring the
question OF the endorsement of Ed
ward e. Biedelman, one Of the repub-
lican candidates for the governorship
of Pennsylvania, to the resolutions
committee the matter was brought to
the floor.
A bitter fight then began between
the machine controlled by the United
Mine Workers of America and the one
controlled by the building trades and
a few central labor unions. This reso-
luton was q test. 1t was considered
the vote on this would set precedent
for the convention to act ON resolu-
lions without going thru the proper
procedure. This was fought very bit
tsrly by the group supporting the
Ware fraction in the republican par
ty, In spite Of the fact that they are
for Biedelman. After many attempts
to have the resolution tabled, it was
carried thru. Rinaldo Capellini then
introduced a resolution calling for the
support OF Amos Pinchot for United
States senator. This was the main
resolution. A battle royal ragged in the
convention with steam roller tactics
galore. Exposures Of both sides were
made by the leaders Of each side. Left
wing delegates, who demanded the
floor and wanted to state their posi-
ton, were not recognized by Chairman
James A. Maurer
Threats of a split in the federation
were heard from the group support
ing the Ware faction. When the dele
gates were leaving, Capellini brought
in another resolution endorsing
Lieutenant Governor James, a par
of the Ware machine. This was puI
thru without even a discussion. Hal
Of the delegates were already out O
the convention hall.
The convention ended on the frs
day with the organized workers o
Pennsylvania placed on record by thei
so-called leaders as supporting tn
candidates in the union-smashing RI
publican party.

ny ! Worker correspondent.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Amalga-
mated Tobacco Workers Union is call
ing a mass meeting for Sunday after
noon, May 16, at l p. m. at the Labor
Temple, 243 q. Saith street. Circulars
are being distributed thruout the city
inviting all the cigarworkers, organ
lied and unorganized, members of the
International as well as of the Anal
gamated, to attend this meeting.
The condition OF the cigar and to-
bacco workers in the city is becoming
unbearable. The cigarmaker, points
out the leafiet, is forced to work long
hours at starvation wages, besides
long periods of unemployment.
This deplorable conditions prevails
at time when tremendous profits are
being pocketed by all manufacturers,
independent as well as the powerful
trusts.
The reason for this state Of affairs
is that the workers have never been
organized 4 any extent to enable them
to resist the constant lowering of theil
standard of wages and working condi
tons.
At this time the Amalgamated is en-
gagged in bitter struggle against th'
Natural Bloom cigar factory, where
$50 workers are striking against TIL
further lowering of their standard
The factory is well picketed and tn
strikers are confident they will wiz
The outcome 4of this strike will n
doubt have an important effect on tn
workers of the other shops and it
for that reason that the workers mus
do all in their power to bring tn
strike in the Natural Bloom factor
to a successful termination.

the officials Of the trade unions of this
country do practically nothing to or

that it was the purpose of the youth
conference to draw the young workers
into the unions In the various indus
tries. Furthermore, that the purpose
in calling the youth conference was 70

Of the young workers so as to expose
them, and to adopt a proper set OF
demands to meet their needs. That
they, the youth conference on the
basis of these demands, would build
up shop committees in the various
shops so as to be able to carry on the
work Of unionization.
The young strikers were told that
the United Front Committees had sent
Representatives to the arrangements
committee, who were arranging the
youth conference. That one way they
could help would be to tell other
young workers in other mills outside

youth conference, to get them in touch
with the arrangements committee in
charge, so they could tell them how

some time in June.
All in all. the meeting was Q do
parting point in the history Of youns
workers in trade unions. The enthu
siastic response Of the young work
ers was a practical demonstration o.
what they thought Of meetings OF thi'
kind. This meeting proved very con
clusively that youth meetings coulC
, be a great weapon In drawing thu
! young workers to the union.
