Australia Helps Point
the Way Toward World
Unity of the Workers
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

A USTRALIA is a chip Of the old
"A British block" was the COM
ment made by A. Losovski, sec
rotary of the Red International Of
Labor Unions, in commenting on
the efforts being made by Australian
labor to build the unity of the work
ers in countries bordering the Paci-
fic Ocean.
That was written before Austria
las labor delegate, Mr.. Beasley,
turned loose the wrath of Australian
worlmen on the assembly of the
International Labor organization of
the league of nations at Geneva.
Beasley's speech at Geneva will
no doubt brighten the high official
dom of the American Federation of
Labor, that has already turned its
back on the proposals of Australian
labor for a pan.Pacific conference.
The last convention Of the A. F. of
L. did not take kindly to the pro-
posals of A. A. Purcell, coming from
the British Trade Union Congress,
for world trade union unity, while
the offer of pan-Pacific trade union
unity seems to fall on equally deaf
ears.
Purcell brought his message Of
unity from Great Britain because 1t
was the demand insisted on by
great masses of British workers.
Beasley tells the leagues satellites
at Geneva that it is the Australian
workmen who have no confidence
in what the labor wing of the league
is doing at its headquarters in
Switzerland. 1t is very evident that
the American labor offlcialdom will
also begin to move or get out when
sufficient masses can be rallied in
this country in behalf of world trade
union and pan-Paciflc unity.
Gompers placed the American
Federation of Labor in support Of
the world war. He had a finger in
the Versailles peace pie" thru his
connections with the late President
Wilson. He lined up the A. F. of
L. for the league Of nations and the
world court. He dragged it into the
so-called international labor organ
ization" of the league, headed by
Albert Thomas, the socialist min
lister of munitions for France during
the war. He was the best ally Of
the Harding Hughes-Hoover combi-
nation in fighting recognition OF the
Union Of Soviet Republics. All Of

regime. The A. F. Of L. Joined and
dominates the pan-American Fed
Grafton of Labor in the spirit of the
Monroe Doctrine of American i'm
perialism, seeking to subjugate the
workers of the rest of the western
hemisphere to its reactionary will.
Beasley attacked the labor
bureau" of the league, declaring
the report of the president was
nothing but statistics" which could
have been brought to the attention
OF the various governments in the
form of booklet instead Of assemb-
ling a vast conference. What the
people wanted from the labor
bureau, he said, was not statistics,
but action to ameliorate labor con-
ditions turnout the world. To be
sure the labor bureau has made

some gestures. At it's first meeting
in Washington it resolved" for the
universal eight-hour day. But it
has made no effort to exert any real
pressure upon the governments in
various countries to put 1t into eff
feet The universal eight-hour day
remains now as much of dead let
ter as ever, especially with the sub
siding Of revolutionary ferment in
some European countries and a
partial sterilization of capitalism.
Beasley told the Geneva gather
ing:
''In that which concerns the pre-
vention of wars we Australian work
men have not any great confidence
in what you Of the countries Of Eu-
rope are doing here. We have ac-
cordingly taken the initiative in con-
vobing in Honolulu a worlmen's
conference, because we have the inn
preston that the next war will
break out on the Pacific Coasts"
That is not the statement of what
is considered in Australia as left
winger." No militant, not even from
Australia, would be allowed to make
the trip to Geneva, Switzerland, to
taunt the labor puppets of the Yer
sailles imperialists in their home
lair.
Beasley is a right winger in Aus
tralia. This is brought out by the
fact that he mentions the Honolulu
conference, in November, and not
the Trade Union conference Of the
countries bordering the Pacific call
ed by the Trade Union Council of
New South Wales, to be held at
Sydney, in July. Invitations to the
Sydney conference were sent to la
Dor in China, Japan, Russia, India,
South Africa, Java, the South Sea
Islands, South America, Canada,
North America and England. The
New South Wales trade unionists
are building their conference on the
broadcast possible base. This is not
to the liking of the right wing in
control of the Australian Labor
Party, the leaders of which are
carrying on a campaign against the
left trade unions, which includes
the New South Wales trades coun-
ell.
The only conclusion to be drawn
is that the Sydney conference is in
earnest in its fight against imperial
ism in the Pacific. The MscDonalds
ez1ld nAvnHu0Oo <1u5SGs~ssss uvulu
sabotage this struggle with their
Honolulu conference. Yet they are
dragged along by the irresistible
strength of this mass movement Of
labor. They cannot hold it back.
Labor In the United States got
beyond dts own borders thru partici-
patton in the Pan-American Fedora
ton of Labor. Here 1t must cease
to act as a conservative, paralyzing
influence. 1t must also broaden its
view to include enthusiastic support
OF the Pan-Pacific Federation of La
Dor. But these should be only steps
toward full American participation
On real world trade union unity that
must come. Australia, "a chip of

lenged its imperialism with gen.

BAIT INvENTS
QUEER B. & 0.
PLAN THEORY
Claims 1t Leads to
Revolution"
BY A Worker cOrrsspOnasnt

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. dennis E.
Bait clearly indicated why he is not
in the Communist movement in Amer
lea in an address delivered before the
Detroit Labor Forum Sunday, Jan. 3.
In dealing with the question of the
B. and o. plan Bait said that the
only criticism he had to make OF the
plan was that the workers had not
received raise in wages as promised.
He stated that the good point OF the
plan was that it taught the workers
how to run industry. To bolster his
position Bait related the difficulties
the Russian workers were having in
1921 in recognizing the crippled in
dustry of Russia.
Bait understands perfectly we'll the
working classes of all countries must
make themselves political masters Of
the country before they approach the
question Of industrial management as
the workers in Russia did, but he
chooses to ignore this logical revolu-
tionary sequence which he perfectly
understands because he wishes to find
something good in the B, and o. plan
which is sponsored by "B. and o. Bill,
his International president.
Peculiar Logic.
That a class collaboration program
leads to a preparation of the workers
for revolution and the problems Of
management following from it is as
unique as many other positions Com
rade Bait" has developed during his
pilgrimage from the Communist to the
republican party.
Bait admitted that the workers Of
Russia had solved the problems Of
management, but failed to indicate
that they have not the assistance Of
any B. and o. plans such as he pre-
scribes for American workers. Bait
lined up with Green in condemning
the sending of delegation of work
ers' representatives to investigate
conditions in Russia on the ground
that it preiudiced the chances Of
Green's A. F. of L. standing here.
: Obey Republican Discipline.
In answering a question regarding
the recognition Of Russia, Bait ex
pressed a personal and an official 20
sition which were fatty CONTRADICTORY
indicating that he is much more am
enable to discipline by the reactionar!
machine of the A. F. of L. than HI
ever was in a revolutionary party
Bait is proving that the estimate o
his revolutionary phrases long hell
by the Communist leaders of Amer
lea was and is correct. Bats polit
ical instability condemns him to b,

on the road with their statesmen to
beat competition The hand-worker
works hard all day to accomplish the
desired result But because OF the un-
usual requirements very little is
achieved during the day and so the
boss as matter OF course packs I'D
a bundle Of homework for them. Those
who want proof Of this can see it on
the corner Of Wabash and Madison.
Working Overtime.
Some girls console themselves with
such reasoning: why during the
season in the clothing industry, the
workers also work long hours and
sometimes on Sundays too" That is
true. But it is also true that because
these workers are organized they are
paid time and half for overtime.
The millinery season is short. The
operators belonging to the union make
their years expenses during the sea
son. How much do the unorganized
hand.workers make? challenge those
who are opposed TO the union TO an
swer.
Some workers think because they
are complimented by the bosses for
their skill, they are fayorites and they
do not need the protection OF a union.
Those workers forget that there can
be no friendship between the spider
and the fly. AS long as the boss gets
cheap labor he will be polite. That's
one Of his tactics for underpaying his
workers.
While we spend the day and part
Of the night In toll, the boss plans
how the more to economic on our
labor and how to prevent us from get.
ting together. The manufacturers are
organized. They come together TO
discuss way and means to keep us
from each other.
Let those who oppose organization
analyze the situation carefully and not
try to console themselves with making
excuses for the bosses. The employ,
ers have their organization and We
must strive to build ours.

Only Amalgamation in
Building Trades Would
End All Freak Disputes
BY A Worker Correspondent

1t was while working on large
building under construction at Law
renee Ave. and Sacramento Blvd, that
a jurisdictional dispute arose over
whether a cement finisher or a struc-
tional iron worker should lay the iron
rods and wire netting needed to rein
force the concrete being laid. On this
building there were men of the diff
ferent trades, working for sub con-
tractors.
The cement finisher, a member of
Local No. 500, Operatove Plasterers &
Cement Finishers' Union, with some
laborers' was laying these rods and
wire netting in the soft concrete on
the second floor of the building. An
iron worker, a member of Local l.
Bridge &c Structural Iron Workers
Union, working close by on the same
floor, came up to us and inquired ii
a member of his union was laying
the rods, to which the cement finisher
answered, that to his knowledge il
was the work of the cement workers
and did not come under the jurisdic
ton of the iron workers. The iron
worker then stated, that he did moi
care, but that the union officials may
come along and they would surely
slap a fine over on us.
There are i'm the building trades
some thirty-two different craft unions
each craft fighting for it's own partl
cular work. II is over these jurisdic
tional disputes that fights arise among
the officials in the building trades
council and at times on the job These
disputes often threaten the very exist
ence of the unions themselves, while
at the same time play into the hands
OF the bosses. For example the fighi
between the plasterers and the brick
layers which has been going on fol
the past year.
These fights will continue between
the craft unions, until the rank ant
Ole under the leadership OF the lef
wing recognize that we must organic,
industrial unions thru amalgamatior
in the building trades.
