| PURGE and w. L. Thomas, the newly
| elected representatives to committee
| from the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
| vice Edward II. Hale and i. G. Lucos,
presented their credentials and i'm
mediately offered their cooperation

! in which the committee is engaged

continued Illness of Albert Michaud
of the United Spanish War Veterans,
who is suffering from injuries re-
ceived in recent automobile acct
dent. Comrade Michaud is under
| treatment at Walter Reed Hospital,
/ Ward 81.
| Comrades PURGE and Thomas re-
| ported that the Veterans of Foreign
| Wars of the District of Columbia evi-
| denced in their recent department con-
! vention enthusiastic support of the
work of the Veterans joint COMMITTEES.
| They rendered the committee com
mendation from Comrade Reilley,
newly elected department commander,
and his staff
| The chairman reported that an aver
age for the last month of five service
men and women had filed claims for
assistance from the committee. This
| large number is attributable to the re-
| ductions in force in the Navy and
Treasury Departments. The commit
| tee considered and approved action in
| fifteen appeals. On account OF the
| volume of work before the committee
and to prevent too great a sacrifice on
the part of the chairman, he was di-
| rected to detail the claims among the
committee members. Comrade Burns
| reported the results of a series of con-
ferenCes with the Register of the
| Treasury. Comrade Howard outlined
the action taken in obtaining prefer
ence for those who had been referred
to him The chairman reported the
consideration shown the committee by
the War Department and the commit
tee went on record indorsing and in
appreciation of the interest and assist
ance rendered the committee by Post
National Commander Hanford Mae
Nider of the American Legion. Let
ters of thanks and commendation from
Senators Tyson and Oddie were read.
Though each member of the commit
tee is busily engaged at this time with
personal appeals from the many serv-
ice men and women who are, or are
about TO be. discharged. nevertheless,
| the next two months will find them
giving serious study to the problems
and resolutions which are to be pre-
sented to the national conventions OF
the Army and Navy Union, Disabled
| American Veterans, Veterans of For
| eign Wars. American Legion and
| United States War Veterans. 1t is the
| hope of the committee that many of
| the faults in the present efficiency
system may be remedied by the ma
tional organizations upon the presenta-
| ton of proper proposed reforms. II
is by reason of the maladministration
and improper basic system that the
greatest cause of complaint exists.
| The remedies set forth in the annual
report of the committee have thus far
| met with almost unanimous approval
| of all veterans. still others will be sug-
gested upon closer observation and
study.

JOHN WALKER FINDS
LABOR RECORD TO AID
insults man SMITH

President John n. Walker, Illinois
State Federation of Labor, gives the
following basis for his Endorsement
Of Samuel insults nominee Frank L.
Smith for United States senator:
"The federation found, on the
basis of American Federation of La
Dor records, that Smith while con-
gresham had a 10000 clear labor
record" Walker says.
"Smlth as chairman of the Illinois
commerce commission issued orders
making full crews compulsory for
switching In the railroad yards. He
ordered the mine washhouse law eN-
tended to all railroad workers and
also ordered shelter for head brake
men. He turned votes in the legis-
Iature to put thru the Injunction
limitation bill, to defeat the state
constabuIary and to force primaries
for circuit judges in Cook county.
He saved utility consumers $3.50, oo0,-
600 year in reduced rates."

tory, but reiterate continually that the
Communist leaders forced them into
the prolongation of the strike for the
Communist Party-that's all.
No one expected the Forward and
it's co-workers to tell the truth about
the gains that the fur workers had OBJ
tanned by their seventeen weeks brave
fight Neither did anyone think that
the Forward would aid the fur work
ers in their strike for better living con-
ditions. 1t is we'll known, and for a
long while past, that the paper of
bunkum socialism has no connections
with and does not represent any work
ers.
OF course, the Forward and it's
smaller fry would feel happier had the
furriers with their Communist leaders
suffered a loss in their fight. Didn't
the Forward, in association with the
strike-breaking forces of the Interna-
tional, do all in their power to curb it?
Didn't the Forward serve the bosses
openly thru provocations in their col
umns which surpassed any work done

by spies or agents of the department
of justice?
What was the purpose of the For
ward co-workers in entering this
senseless league with the view of
breaking the strike? What was the
object of Abraham Cahans "caucuses''
with the leaders of the international?
Whom did the Forward serve with its
wild attacks on the furriers' leaders
in its stupid endeavor to demoralize
the striking lines? II was not the
fault of the Forward nor of the inter
national officers that they could not
break the strike. They have done all
they could to do so. Let that be their
only consolation. OF course, the For
ward would feel happiest had the fur
workers lost, but if the outcome of
the furriers' strike was Numerically
different from the one that they had
wished, is only a logical result of all
laws of their strike-brealing tactics.
Now they are all set to prove that the
furriers won nothing, that the ones
that are at fault for that are the Com.
munists.
II the Right Had Won.
TT is truly useless to prove that the
L furriers won, by strike, material
gains, which improved their economic
conditions. Had these points been
won by those of the Forward school 1t
would have been hailed as a revolu-
ton. Imagine what would have hap
pened had these advances been made
by the now driven-out ex-President
Kaufman & Co. instead of by the Com
munists. What wouldn't the Forward
have done to make 1t popular. One
of the Forward pen specialists would
have been able to deduce that the
right wing leaders are slowly but
surely developing socialism in Amer
lea. Why, Abraham Cahan would
have based his bunkum socialism on
such important advances. We, the left
wingers OF the union, would undoubt-
eddy recognize the victory. II the
right wingers could only do e! The
trouble Is that the rights cannot lead
workers on the road OF strife and vic
tory. The Forwards men are only
capable OF demoralizing and deterior-
ating unions and breaking strikes:
that is, wherever they are successful.
Their conception and tactics OF unions
Is Generalization and destruction. And
while we are talking about the fur
workers, II may serve as a demonstra-
tive example. II would be worth while
to draw a. short comparison as to how
the Forward with its co.workers have
led and successfully lost the strike OF
1920, ana Il pm terrorized and democrat

ward were buried there and never
came to light.
The Forward was then terribly wor-
ried why it's boys lost their jobs and
were driven from the union. Meyer
London called a conference of the &C
tive members and pleaded with us,
that we again mount the Kaufman
gang into the saddle.
The strike of 1920 could not have
been won, because the strike was led
with the aid of a band of hired slug
gers who received $50 per day from
the union. The sluggers protected the
scabs, received graft from the bosses,
stole coats and betrayed the workers
at each step. The strikers were kept
in fear under the mailed fist.
Did the leaders know about It? OF
course the Forward knew what was
happening in the strike. But the
strike leaders, as well as the Forward,
were silent and whitewashed all that
happened.
These are the methods and the tao
tics Of the Forward gang. This is
their conception of union leadership.
The entire hope for support they lay
upon the hired strong, in strikes as
well as in times of peace.
Membership? Puppiesl"
TINE membership? The rank and
file? Puppies! was the descrip-
tive term of Meyer London when we
spoke to him Of the membership Of
the union. While speaking about the
workers, our former president, Mr..
Kaufman, said once at convention
in Boston, "Your rank and file are
double-crosses," and later Comrade
London whispered, Correct He has
well rubbed it into your rank and fl
ers."
The strike tactics OF the mailed fst
treachery and corruption, reigned con.
tinually for three years in the furriers
union. Since the beginning Of 1922 to
May, 1925, continually under the lead
ership of the Forward and it's boys"
The left wingers were prosecuted, ex-
cluded from union activities, expelled
entirely whereas the right wingers
under full protection Of the Forward
took full command. When the facts
were discovered 1t was learned that a
manager OF the union was caught with
the goods, and that the secretary had
an agreement with the manager. The
entire union was absorbed in graft
And yet does Abe Cahan, editor OF the
Forward, dare TO come out with the
accusation that the Communists are
grafters! 'lHN eA#
