LEFT Wing IN
HARD FIGHT IN
FURRIERS' UNION
Want to Garry Out Ac-
tiOns of Contention
ny A worker corresponaent

In a previous article tried to make
clear how one of the comrades on the
executive board of the Furriers' Local
Union, J. Sonnenshein, Is being
bounded by the clique in control and
how this same comrade was threaten
ed with blacklist which those in power
are able to use, if not openly, at least,
under cover III
l also pointed out that when it came
to one of the members who is In with
the clique, it was a matter of protec-
ton for him and all lined up with him.
Now what is it that j. Sonnenshein
and the left winers want? First, the
left wingers, in general, want series
of class conscious, educational lectures
among the members on such topics
as Glass Struggle, Glass Collaboration,
in other words, an open forum to
learn about the struggle in the fur in
dustry
Second the left wingers want to
know what happened in the Boston
convention and what the resolutions
that were proposed are. What is the
future of this organization and what
was the attitude of the convention on
such matters as Amalgamation, Labor
Party, World Trade Union Unity +?
What did the convention decide upon
these matters and why are they not
being taken up at the meetings (?
They also demand study classes on
various topics that union men and
women are and should be interested
in. These are to be pat into the
hands of a committee created for
this purpose.
Now there is fact that the BUSH
ness manager for some reason or an
other has never had a thoro audit of
the books he has under his charge.
We ask why and in listening to his
reasons we find that we know even
less than we did before he started to
tell them and we are very much in
doubt Of the seriousness of his argu-
ments and how are our elections car
ried on in Local As of the Furriers'
Union? Everybody is welcome to
participate, members who have been
three years in arrears, two years, six
months and who have no cards at all
are allowed in the hall-and some to
whom cards were issued for that pur-
pose. All these are given ballots and
all may vote as they were instructed.
And because the left wingers kick
and put up a battle for what they
think is right, an expulsion policy is
initiated. The rest of the members
are intimidated and promised hat if
they want jobs, they had better keep
their mouths shut.

Only about two months ago Mr.
Longs house "mysteriously" burned
down, after some organized men tried
TO persuade unorganized men work

Long is sure that union labor COM
mitted the act. and consequently his
belief in the open shop" has been
strengthened.
Workers Winning.
The building laborers and painters
are out on strike. and there is every
Likelihood that they will win their
strike. The open shoppers think that
by means of these stereopticon lee
lures they will be able to enlist the
support OF the "public" on their side

Prohibition Success Under
Leadership of O. D.
Jackson.

And get a. jolt. For be the news
from other prohibition enforcement
districts of the United States of
America, what it may, the bald
headed administrator Of District No.
10 is making his district dry, they
say.
The plump, clean-shaven, rudy
checked o. D. Jackson is the Big
Dry Boss in question. And it's
during the last year that the great
change from exceeding wetness to
tangible ardity has come over this
stored land.
College Men ON Force
There's an army of seventy-f1ve
field agents and fifty clerks at Jack
sons command. Most Of them are
college graduates.
It's from the hills of Arkansas
native home of dark and mysterious
doings by mankind-down through
cosmopolitan New Orleans, along a
thousand interlacing Gulf coast bays
and bayous, and on out to the plan
tations of Mississippi and Alabama
that they operate.
Somehow, while prohibition en-
forcers north, east and west, have
been bemoaning failure, Jackson's
army has been attaining success.
"In five years." says the admins
traitor, 1--WE will have the prohibition
law as well enforced down here as
any other law on the statute books"
There are statistics galore to back
up Jackson, such as the walloping
of moonshiners, rum runners and
their kind for 1,246.160 gallons Of
stimu.@nt in ten months.
Two hundred per cent is an aver
age increase in the price of wet
goods since Jackson and his men
hit their gait
Rum rings whose scope almost
staggered credulity have surrender
ed to Jackson after being hit for
losses amounting to hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
A Versatile Crew
Jackson's college-boy agents are
interesting.
They include men who can slug
their way through the toughest
waterfront trough house" men who
know their triggers when shooting
starts, men who are at home in eve
ming dress at formal balls, men who
can talk banking with bankers, the
stock market with brokers, and bust
ness with business men.
* Jackson trusts them implicitly.
There's a reason. Every new agent
is secretly tested for his honesty of
purpose before he goes on any i'm
portant "job."
And the administrator himself?
His years in the navy made him, he
says. Jackson enlisted in the navy
at Is, and served all around the
globe.
During the World War, he was
with the Naval Intelligence. Service.

.FAVORS BIRTH CONTROL
Professor Says 1t Is Main Hope of
Arr Ideal Democracy.

BB Times Special
Chicago, Oct. 8. - Voluntary
limitation Of families in the main
hope of bringing about an ideal
democracy, in the opinion of Prof
Thomas Vernon Smith of Chicago
University, who is soon to publish
a book vigorously supporting birth
control =
Challenging opponents of birth
control. Professor Smith declares
that although such voluntary limita-
ton is attacked in some quarters as
a violation of natural laws, it ac-
tually is nothing but inheriated in
erita, fear and half confessed mer-
cenary interest which brings about
a rejection Of what is practiced
normally and wholesomely by thou
sands"
In addition to birth control as an
aid to real democracy Professor
Smith recommends prohibition, ces-
sation Of war, abandonments of in.
dustrial autocracy and the promotion
of universal brotherhood through re-
hgicn.

ONLY THOSE WHO VOTE WILL
BE COUNTED

At a special election in State
with but one candidate from each
party, with no associate candidates
each with a personal as well as a
party following and incentives to get
out the vote, the number who go to
the polls naturally is smaller. Such
conditions apply to the senatorial
election, Nov. 29. But those are not
ell the conditions, which apply to
that election.
The decision at the polls in Maine
on that date is in a way to deter
mine whether the national Repub-
lican organization will be able to Or
ganize the next Senate and so, I'M
der a Republican administration in
the White House, do what is ex-
pected in the shaping Of legislation
in the various committees. The
situation was clearly explained by
Senator Hale at the meeting OF
members Of the Republican County
and state committees in this city
yesterday. He left no doubt In
the minds Of his hearers that the
national leaders Of the democratic
and Republican parties are looking to
Maine. that the election OF United
States Senator a week from Monday
will be one of the most important
ever held in the State.
Another feature made as unmis-
yanefin0 Ia the
resolute purpose Of all those present
and 1t was the most representa-
tive gathering Of its kind we have
seen-to win a handsome Republican
victory November 20.
It was an enthusiastic meeting all
must admit and Ex-Governor Baxter
by his remarks contributed very ma
terially to the enthusiasm. His
ninble wit and hearty good nature
defy description by the reporter but
appealed irresistibly to the audience.
The public likes good loser. all the
better II he can make them laugh
and laugh with them.
Replying to the complimentary in
PRODUCTION by Chairman Burleigh
Martin Mr.. Gould remarked that the
chairman had neglected to say that
Gould was no speechmaker. He did,
We think, make very clear to the
meeting why the County of Aroos-
took stood back of him so loyalty.
Nor does 1t seem too much to say
that II the spirit Of the meeting here
yesterday gets abroad among the
voters the Republicans of Maine will
stand back of him.
But Republicans must get out and
vote, otherwise their votes will not
be counted, and Republican control
Of the United States Senate evident
ly depends on these votes being
counted.
