Labor Rejects Both Walsh and Nash

committee, is himself a democrat and
his position as Walsh's manager is
sufficient proof that these so-called
non-partisan committees are simply
auxiliaries to the democratic political
machines, who utilized these labor
committees like the janitor does a
mop which he discards when worn.
Jack Walsh of the Railroad Shop
men took the floor to tell of his ex,
perence as candidate for mayor on
the democratic ticket. The regular
democratic bosses managed the cam.
pa1gn and had all the saying, while
the local labor movement was used a.
sucker in furnishing the candidate
and the money as well as the votes,
while the regular democratic voters
openly declared they would rathel
vote for republican candidate for
mayor or scratch their ballots rather
than vote for a labor man.
Shameful BetrayaIs.
Despite such shameful betrayals we
witness the same treachery going on
in this state. John Jerry Hodgson.
ex-legislative agent for the Massachu
sets State Federation Of Labor, who
in the course Of his duties, time ana
again argued, debated and fought
against William M. Butler before hear
ings, in committee rooms and else
where at the state house when Butler
was a member of the Massachusetts,
legislature, is now stumping the state
in behalf of his erstwhile enemy,
VIM. M. Butler. But Kearney and the
rest of his tribe who are boosting
Walsh, are not doing it for love or IN
the interests of the labor movement,
either.
In a scathing denunciation of Kear-
ney and the rest of the labor takers
who sell themselves and bind the la
Dor movement to the chariots Of the
capitalist political parties, William
Haskings, euloglzed Eugene V. Debs
and contrasted Debs with the social
ed labor leaders who sell themselves
for a mess Of pottage to the capitals
class. But the most militant and
class conscious note was sounded in
the speech of Secretary Thomas f.
Conroy who finished by demanding
that labor cease being the tail to cap
italism's political kite and organize
labor party.
Ignore Organizing Textile Workers.
With conditions in the textile indus
try in Massachusetts in a most de-
plorable state, and the textile work
ers unorganized and dlsunited, the
United Textile Workers union. in
stead of sending an army OF organic.
ers into the state for the purpose of
the exploited textile work
ers, sends into Massachusetts five or.
ganizers to campaign for Walsh.
These organizers Of the U. T. w. are
going to remain here only for cam
paign purposes and leave the state
upon the conclusion Of the campaign.

instead of waging labor's battles
on the basis OF the class struggle.
1t will be an eventful day in inter
national labor history when worker
representatives from Japan, Austria
liza, China and the United States sit
down in the same conference and
talk over their problems as mem
bers of the world labor movement:
1t is hoped that that this day will be
May l, 1927, at Canton, China.
Labor in Java, subject colony Of
Holland, has always been known
for its militancy. While Holland is
heralded as one of Europe's boosted
capitalist "democracies, the imperi-
alists of this puppet nation have
drowned in blood the workers move
ment in Java. 1t now leads an IL
legal existence similar to that of the
Japanese labor movement.
The story is repeated almost in
whole for India, where the ruthless
measures adopted by the British
government to crush. the great
strikes that have taken place in this
colony of the crown have required
the whole attention of midas mill
tant working class.
Mexico pleads poverty. But it has
answered the invitation of the Aus
tralian workers. The Mexican Min
ers' Union has also replied. They
pledge cooperation to the full ex-
tent Of their ability. The workers
of Mexico can be depended on to
to push their officials into active
participation in the effort to secure
Pan-Pacific Trade Union Unity. The
same may be said concerning at least
some of the countries Of Central and
South America.
One of the great inspirations that
will help insure the success of the
gathering is the rapidly developing
trade union movement of China,
1t is recognized that it will be
most difficult to get the American
Federation of Labor into action. The
A. F. of l.. officialdom only enters
where it hopes to dominate. The
imperialist policies Of the present
A. F. of L. leadership will certainly
receive short shrift in the proposed
Canton conference. The policies
Of the Greens, the VOLS and the
Duncans will be on the carpet and
not in the saddle at Canton. This
will be true whether regular dele
gates speaking for the A. +. of L.
oficialdom are in attendance or not.
The Australian Trade Union Con-
gress has undertaken tremendous
task. Workers everywhere, who
seek to advance the interests of
their class. will wish them every
success in their drive for unity OF
the workers in the nations bordering
the Pacific. This should include an
increasing number of workers in the
United States of America anxious
to give their support to this ambi-
tious project.

paign manager and VIM. Green, presi
dent of the A. f. of L., with the en-
dorsement Of its executive council
circulating every cocal and central
body in the state, in behalf Of Walsh
and in a supposedly anti-Butler cam
paign.
Evenly Divided.
The refusal of the central labor
bodies to endorse Walsh was in line
with the action taken by the Spring
field convention Of ten Massachusetts
state branch OF the A. F. of L., which
refused to endorse either Coolidge's
Butler Of millionaire Gaston's Walsh.
This refusal was not due to the
progressiveness Of the convention, but
to the fact that both the Butterflies
and the Walsh men were pretty ev-
emily divided, with the Butler strength
coming from the building trades I'M
ions who were fearful OF republican
revenge" at the hands Of the republl-
can municipal and state politicians
who are now in the saddle, and from
the street carmens' unions who always
have big delegation at conventions,
and who lick the boots of Butler, who
besides owning textile mills, is heav-
lily interested in street railway sys-
TENS.
conroy Progressive.
The state branch executive commit
tee Of the A. F.. Of L. with the excep-
tion Of the progressive Tom Conroy
of Worcester, is dominated by Walsh
men, and despite explicit instructions
by the convention and by their own
vote of several weeks ago, the reso-
luton stating that the state conven-
ton does not endorse, either candi-
date, and urging organized labor to
refrain from endorsing either candi-
date, has not as yet been sent out to
all the local unions-and the cam
paign is almost over. The withhold
ing Of the resolution Is obviously a
piece of work calculated to aid Walsh.
So alarmed are the Walsh labor
skates over the rejection Of their
man, that John Kearney, Walsh's la
Dor manager has decided to tour the
state, speaking before the central la
Dor unions that have rejected his can
aidate. In his talk before the Wor-
cester c. L. u. Kearney cleveriy
failed TO mention that about is in
functions were served against labor
while Walsh was governor of MassA
chusetts. He failed 70 mention Col.
Gaston's millions behind Walsh, or
that Walsh is the president OF one
bank and director Of another and cor
poration counsel for the Boston and
Maine railroad. etc

they would get home on Christmas
Eve. After they got on this train
there could be no missing Of connec-

them they would be on time.

There was a general chatter going
on, a renewing Of friendships, a talk
between some who only saw each other

lived In different places but who en-
JOyed this annual little talk.
And then the engine gave a long,
long, long whistle. It was not the or
binary whistle Of an engine. It was
the way the engine always whistled on
Christmas Eve, so as to carry word to
the waiting families and friends at the
little station at the end Of the line
that the train was doing its part to
wish them a merry Christmas by
bringing its load Of people.
