sy a wotker cOrrsspOnasn.

NEW YORK, Feb. IL = The Metro
politan Opera House employs work
ers OF different >trades-musicians
carpenters, tailors and others. They
all belong to the same union-the
American Federation of Labor, hut to
different locals, and when one local
goes on strike, the other workers
working in the same place are allow
ed to stay on their jobs only because
they belong to different locals.
Now the tailors of the Metropolitan
Opera House went on strike in the
beginning OF the season. They APP
pealed to President Green when he
attended the International Ladies'
Garment Workers convention, to call
a general strike in the Metropolitan
and he ordered the district organizer
Fraina to do so. But Fraina failed
to fulfill this order. He evidently
hates to antagonize the Metropolitan
corporation and the Fifth Avenue
ladies'. So the strikers are picketing
outside the house while the union mu-
sicians are scabbing inside.
The workers of all trades should
learn two lessons: first, that the form
of organization as it exists now is Of
little use to them. And second-that
the fake leaders use this form of or
ganization against the interests of
the workers and in the interests of
the bosses. They must change the
form of organization and get rid of
the labor takers. They must be or
ganized according to industries; all

The propaganda sheet commonly
known as Labor, weekly paper used
by the Brotherhood leaders,--rather
misleaders,-to keep the railroad
workers in ignorance, carries an edi-

discolses that young Rockefeller is the

and that the Rockefeller Consolidated

men are out on strike on the Western

imbecility or downright betrayal Of
the bureaucrats who pose as grand
chiefs of the 16 craft unions into
which the railroad workers are di-
vided.

keep the workers divided and ignor-
ant, because there is nothing a bu-

ing intelligence and consciousness of
the masses.
The incompetency and treachery
displayed by the Brotherhood leaders
in the Western Maryland strike, is
but a sample of the policy they have
pursued since 1918, when they started
a strike of engineers and firemen on
the Bangor and Aroostook railroad
and permitted ii to drag along for IL
years until Jan. /, 1925, when it was
simply called of. Figuring, we pre-
sumo, that the men had forgotten all
about it by that time.

futile strikes in order to make the
members believe that they are fight
ers when necessary. But they are
very cautions when their whole meal
ticket is at stake as it was on Oct. 20,
1921 when the leaders of the five
transportation Brotherhoods took a
1914 per cent wage cut rather than to
risk battle with the we'll organized
employers. This explains why they
did not risk a battle with five national
organizations behind them but are per-
fectly willing to let two crafts go it
alone on a small road like the Vir-
ginian and the Western Maryland.
Thus we have a long string of de-
feats, including the smashing of the
shop crafts, attributable to these trail
tors at the head of the railroad
unions. These defeats could have just
as we'll been victories, had the rail-
road workers been properly led in

LEFT WING IN
LABOR LYCEUM
WINS VICTORY
Elect Majority of the
Board of Directors
BY a Worker Correspondent

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. IL. -
The left wing in the Labor Lyceum
here, scored decisive victory in the
annual shareholders meeting by elect
ing majority of three on the board
of directors. The other officials re-
main the same. This was the third
meeting called for the purpose Of
electing officers for the ensuing year,
the others having been broken of
by the right wing when it appeared
they were going to lose out. The
Forwards group packed the Labor
Lyceum auditorium with inactive and
out-of-town members but their ma
neuver was futile.
Forward Agent Is Busy.
At the first meeting, which was held
Jan. "a. D. Shier, the agent of the
Forward in this city, convinced he
could not win the presidency, illegally
adjourned the gathering before the
question Of the election Of officers
had been reached. This was done
against the wishes of the sharehold-
ers. At a subsequent meeting he
succeeded in having a nominations
committee" chosen which would vir-
tually dictate the selection of officers.
The left wing fought for the regular
method of elections provided in the
constitution and bylaws of the associs-
ton.
Left Wing Opportunity.
The fact that the Forward group
was able to achieve a partial success
in their obstructionist tactics makas
it necessary for the left wing to or
ganize their forces more thoroly. The
Labor Lyceum must be made a real
social and cultural center for the
Jewish working class of the north
side. For this reason It is necessary
to draw the unorganized workers into
the groups which are meeting at the
Lyceum hall.
Efforts will be made to bring ths
children into contact with the radical
movement. This is the task Of the left
wing, a task which could not be car
ried out so long as the Forward doni-
mated the organization. The board OF
directors is a step towards the ehmi-
nation of the anti-labor influence OF
the Forward on the Lyceum.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-02-13

sufficiently informed of the tremen-
dous loss they are mourning thru
needlessly lost strikes, wage cuts, po-
litieal defeats and persecution, caused
by the high salaried misleaders in Of
fee. who prevent the workers from
properly organizing for their own
benefit and protection against the ex-
plotting class, they will pitch these
Judas betrayers of labor from their
fat positions to the political dung
heap, and elect in their places work
ers who stand for amalgamation, a
real class labor party, with salaries
equal to the wages paid to skilled
workers in the ranks, men who are
capable of taking the lead in organ
izing the unorganized millions in
American industries instead of going
around the country making red bait
ing speeches and lobbying with the
railroad officials to put over the so
called Railway Labor Act" a peace
pact between the railroad officials,
headed by Atterbury of the notorious
Pennsylvania, and the $4,000 a year
labor leaders.
In the meantime Wall Street and
Standard Oil will continue to smash
the railroad unions with the mutual
consent of the railroads and labor
officials.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-02-13

Standard Oil, to defeat the two crafts
on strike.
What chance have two crafts to tie
up railroad nowadays when they are
pitted against the present interlocked
ownership of the nations industries,
and especially when IA of the other
crafts are permitted to remain at work
to keep the wheels turning, which the
two struggling crafts are trying to
stop?
The Western Maryland situation is
merely a sample Of the bankrupt and
self-seeking leadership of the railroad
unions. The ridiculous high salaries
of the officials has entirely separated
them from the rank and file. Their
political and economic interests are
more closely related to the capitalists
than to the workers. For instance,
amalgamation would be very benef'
cial to the railroad workers for many
reasons, but it would be very destruc-
tive to the craft .oficials who, like
President Robertson gets $4,000 a
year and who is furnished with a
$4,000 year assistant.
Takers, Pebble Votes.
These overpaid takers oppose a la
Dor party for the same reasons. They
enjoy to peddle the workers votes
wherever they see fit. 1t gives them
favor with the politicians who want
