Is being done to keep men from going
to work at these mines. But what he
does do is keep the local charter there
at these places with from one to
dozen men on the list as members so
when an election or a convention
comes along he will see that some tool
of his comes from that local as
delegate to the convention. Blue sky
locals where no meetings are ever
held, no one ever pays any dues, but
election returns favoring the machine
and delegate we'll trained to listen
to the machine are being maintained.
Another trick Of the machine is to
organize new locals wherever possible
a few months before the election or
convention takes place. There is talk
of one Of these campaigns in this part
at the present time. Both election
and convention will come off in few
months.

THE THIRD PRIZE WINNER.
Boss Fires Worker
for Union Agitation
BY M. PERRIN
Worker Correspondent

Albert worked for long time at
the Illinois Moulding company, 23rd
street and Western Ave. The shop
was not organized. The wages were
very low. The hours long-ffty a
week.
Albert was not able to work under
such conditions. He talked with a
few workers and decided that they
must organize if they sought to better
their conditions.
Albert was satisfied with the at
titude of the workers towards his talk.
He saw that the day was not far away
when they would be able to make good
their demands. But it did not turn out
as Albert planned.
One day Albert approached an older
worker-about fifty years of age. This
worker had been with the company
for ten years. 1t is said that this
worker did the work of three men.
Albert talked to him about organizing
union pointing to the need to change
the existing conditions.
Nobody was able to convince me
and neither will you," answered the
loyal slave. 81 do not believe in fore
ing the boss to give me higher wages.
He who works honestly and faithful
ly is respected. You are a trouble
maker You should be satisfied that
you are working You work so slow
that think the company is losing
money on you"
Albert seeing that it was impossible
to convince him he walked away.
The next day Albert was called into
the office. He had a bunch that the
loyal slave had tattled to the boss.
In the office he was given his pay
envelope and told he was no longer
needed. Albert asked why was he
fired. The superintendent declared,
I'VE don't want any trouble-makers.
You are fired, that is ALL" ~
This did not kill Albert's spirit. He
is seeking to arouse the workers else
where.

Left Wing Peace Plan in Workmen's Circle

ON Sunday morning, July IL, COM
~ mittee Of active Workmen's Cir
Gle left-wing members, consisting of
Comrades Minded, Loonin and Saltz-
man, appeared before the national ex-
ecutive committee of the Workmen's
Circle, which held its monthly meet
ing at IT'S East Broadway, New York.
AS 1t was not certain whether the
national executive committee would
proceed with its meetings in the aft
ernoon, the chairman, Mr.. Feinman,
granted the committee the floor in
spite of the fact that committees are
generally accepted in the afternoon
session. arp
Statement of Saltzman.
Comrade Saltzthan spoke first. He
made the following statement:
The three Wbrkmen's Circle mem
bers that have Signed the credentials
came to you about very important
matter. The situation in the Work
mems Circle lately became very abb
normal. The internal struggle that
had been conducted for the last four
and half yearsNfeached such a stage
where the entire Nexistence and devel-
opment Of our order is endangered
1.-THE Workmen's Circle was organ
lied by the Jewish workers for the
purpose of mutual aid and for carry
ing on socialistic activities in its
broadcast perspeqtives in the working
class movement. From the very be-
ginning the Workmen's Circle was to
be the place where all tendencies of
the working-class movement shall
work together. It's tasks are to help
the workers struggles everywhere
in all the countries.
Bitter Struggle.
"The bitter struggle that has taken
place up till now. and is taking place
now, in our mind, could easily be
prevented. The constitution and
character of the Workmen's Circle
guarantees the freedom of opinion and
the right to propagate all tendencies
in the labor movement. When you, as
members of the national executive
committee are initiating new men,
bers into the Workmen's Circle, you
generally state the principles of the
Workmen's Circle in the following
manner:
"'When you use your right as citi-
Gems, in the time of general elections,
you must vote for those representa-
tives that are for abolishing private
property
This means that every member or
every branch has a right TO support
that working-class party with which
he sympathizesarT guarantees the
possibility for all tendencies in the
labor movement to exist in the Work
mems Circle and work together.
1--WE don't now want to go into de-
tails and speak about the causes that
have brought the present situation in
the Workmen's Circle. IL Is sufficient
to view the situation as it is now;
there are oyer sixty dissolved
branches; besides this there is large
number of members-at-large. Seven
members are altogether expelled from
the Workmen's Circle, and at least
200 branches are demoralized all over
the country.

also knows very well that the Work
mems Circle stopped growing for the
last four years. You must admit that
the Workmen's Circle did not yet
utilize all the means to grow bigger.
There can be no doubt that the in
ternal struggle is the biggest him
drance to its growth. There are yet
thousands Of Jewish workers that
could be drawn into our order, if it
were not for the Generalization and
chaos that is prevailing in it.
Friends of the executive! We be-
lieve that the time has arrived to
make stop to the abnormal situa-
ton that endangers the entire Work
mems Circle organization. It is in
your power to create peace in the
organization, and thru it open greater
perspectives for our order. =,
Peace.
I'VE want to point out that the left
wing does not want such a peace
where it will have to forfeit its opin-
ions and ideals. The left wing does
not want kind of peace that reminds
one of the peacefulness Of a dead
house. 1t believes that a fight about
political issues is healthy for the
Workmens Circle. Such fight broad
ems the knowledge and understanding
Of our members. But the fight can
be an theological one, conducted with
in the limits of the organization.
The civil war has created a nom
partisan movement, with Rhode ISL
and at it's head, to stop the civil war
in the Workmen's Circle. People
about whom you yourself have written
that the Workmen's Circle is dear to
them have united without regards to
their political differences, under the
slogan: stop the civil war in the
Workmen's Circle! Bring in again
unity in our organization The slo-
gan has reached a great number of
branches. 1t has reached the hearts
Of thousands of members.
1--WE now call upon you to adopt
this slogan and stop the civil war.
We believe that also you agree that
the fight went too far. We therefore
recommend the following points as
basis for peace:
Basis Of Unity.
Il. Reinstate all the dissolved
branches without any discrimination.
"2. Reinstate all members that be.
came, ,members-at-large on account of
the fight against the left wing.
20. Reinstate the six members OF
Branch "a that were expelled, also
reinstate Jacob Levin.
a. To live up to the constitution
Of the Workmen's Circle that recog-
nizes the right of all tendencies OF the
labor movement to exist in the Work.
mems Circle
For Workmens Circle.
"As you see, our demands are for
the interests Of the Workmen's Circle
and for its growth and development.
When the left wing will get its rights
in the Workmen's Circle we are sure
that a new period of the Workmen's
Circle will come-a period of con-
structive work in the fullest sense OF
the word"
In the middle Of Comrade Saltz.
mans speech he was interrupted by
!. Rothman, member OF the national
executive committee. Rothman de-
manded that Comrade Saltzman be
stopped from making political
speeches and that he be requested
Immediately to state what he wants.
Feinerman. chairman of the Work.
mems Circle, declared that when he
granted the floor to Saltzman the time
was not limited and he thought tho
committee has right to word It's de-
mand in whatever way II hnds pos
sible and best suited.
