long as they supported the machine"
But they could not last forever. The
members, seeing that they could not
expect justice from their higher Off
Gals and that the local unions were
merely playthings in the hands Of the
general Office and the district coun-
ell, naturally, came to the conclusion
that there must be change in them
both. In the last election for general
president, Hutcheson got from this
local only A votes while his progress
sive opponent received 400.
This was already a thorn in the
eye OF Hutcheson, but he had not suf-
f1cient reason to prosecute the local.
But then another thing happened. The
local elected W. Lihzis as delegate
to represent it in the district council
the only man dn that council who has
enough courage to expose the crook
edness OF the administration.
More Progresslves Win.
This same man was nominated in
the last D. C. elections tor second
vice-president on the progressive tick
ct. The machine succeeded in de-
feating him, but the throne of the dis
trict council was shaken, and this
must be avenged. Furthermore, on
Jan, 1924, President Boost was de-
feated, and On December, 1925, BUSH
ness Agent Berenzy was thrown out.
In June, 1926, Financial Secretary
Mortar lost his job.
This was the climax Seeing their
soft jobs and fat salaries are lost and
having no legal means to get them
back, they dug up old records and
found that this local has used money
for progressive measures In labor
movements.
Mortar and Berenzy were present
when the money was Illegally APP
propriated, but tho they denounce the
local now for its action, they did not
then when they held office in raising
their voices in opposition.

FEDERATIONIST
Passes Bouquet Around /;
Harrington Gets One

WASHINGTON - (FP) - Tom Tip
petit, educational director Of Sub-Dis-
trict 8, of the Illinois Mine Workers
District IL, United Mine Workers of
America), contributes an article to the
September issue Of the American Fed
erationist, giving the history of two
years development of workers educa-
ton in his field. One of the newer
methods he emphasizes is the labor
drama, which has become one of the
most effective means of conveying the
lesson of the workers struggle for
emancipation.
He credits the district and sub-dig-
trict officials and The Illinois Miner,
organ Of the district, with hearty CO..
operation in this educational work.

IF You Want to Get
Fat Keep Away from
Red Ideas, Says Davis

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. "a warn.
ing against Communism as road to
wealth and well-being for the worker
was sounded here today by James J,
Davis, secretary Of labor, in an adj
dress to a state fair crowd. Davis
painted bright picture of present
and future conditions of labor in this
country and declared that nowhere at
any time had labor enjoyed so many
advantages. Davis is doing fine. He
draws salary from the department
of labor and commission on every
sucker who joins the Royal Order Of
Moose.

uennN1On OF hell and multiply 1t by
ten, then you will nearly grasp the
situation)
No union or workers organization
of any sort exists in here. This
leaves the workers completely at the
mercy of the company and it's 1901
flunkey bosses.
The company has a lot OF safety
committees don't laugh, please,
when i said safety, saving funds,
etc.
The whole thing means 0 plus 0
equals 0, as far as the workers bene-
Mt ds concerned. Workers are aware
Of this fact. Yet they are helpless
for they have no union of their own
Here is a story of Safety:
A worker working with a gang do
ing general labor was ordered by his
boss to lift heavy casting that lay
under the rain and carry it in. The
worker knew the weight of the cast.
ing, so he asked for more help.
The boss commented "either carry
the casting in or yourself out" After
q moments hesitation, the 40-cents-an-
hour serf tried to obey. As he lifted
the casting he received an awful rup-
ture.
THE boss and the Safety commit
tee convinced the worker he should
stay on the Job and do light work
and that there was no use going to

On August II, Guerin, together with
0another man by the name of Hutche-
son, and a brother of the general
president, visited Local No 1000

Hutcheson. No one knows who this
Hutcheson is, beyond his family con-
nections, whether he is a member of
the Brotherhood, or simply hired as
an outsider to take an interest in the

The carpenters general constitution
provides that the general president
has the right to examine the books Of
any local and there would be nothing
said about it around here, but the
members have discovered from ex-
perience that under Hutcheson rule to
Submit books for examination
means suspension for the local. In
most cases the decision is already
made and the examination" ds only
a mockery to Justify the action. And
what can you expect when your &C
cuser and judge are the same per-

Until some three years ago, this To-
cal was dominated mainly by two off,
Gals: Financial Secretary Richard
Mortar and Business Agent John Be-
renzy, both Of them strong support
ers of Hutchinson, and the district
council. Anyone who opposed them
or their policy was prosecuted and

on the staff Of the workers press.
Press Needs News.
Labor papers are VIGOROUSLY under
manned. Capitalist newspapers anG
magazines can afford to hire an ex
pensive network of correspondents
and editors to run down such portions
Of the truth as they care to present
their readers. They can do this be-
cause they represent the owning class
and are subsidized by the interests
who take extortionate profits from the
toll Of the workers. Labor papers have
not the means, for all this; they must
rely largely on voluntary contributions
of news and other articles.
The workers themselves are denied
a voice thru the columns Of the bosses
papers, and too, often do not avail
themselves of their right and privilege
to tell the world" thru their own
class papers about the situation in
which they labor and are exploited.
Expose the Facts.
Exposure of the conditions within
the mills, exposure of the stools and
tools Of the masters who are working
within or without the mills, and in the
unions. This is the task Of the worker
correspondent" So says William J.
White in the above mentioned leading
article. He tells of one case in which
young worker correspondent was
able to trap labor fakir in the act
Of talking class war treason to the
men whose votes put him in his office

SUE BOX MAKERS
FOR DENOUNCING
BOSS THREAT S

sy 3 Worker corrsspondsnt.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8. - The Paper
Box Makers Union OF Greater New
York is made defendant in an unusual
injunction case. The Speciality Paper
Box Co., 41-63 Porter St., Brooklyn.
is seeking permanent injunction
having been granted a temporary one
by Judge James A. Dunno, Justice of
the supreme court Of the state of New
York, enioining and restraining the
union among other things, from en-
deayoring to persuade employees Of
the plaintiff to join the defendant I'M
ion."
The grounds given for the court de-
cision are that by distributing circu-
lars inviting the workers to attend
union organization meetings, the union
might coerce and prevent employees
Of the plaintiff from coming to work
and thereby depicting the number of
employees; that all of these facts CD
and circumstances taken together tend
to demoralize the present employees
and tend to bring about disruption
and destruction Of the plaintiffs law
full business"
Boss Hates Circular.
To the injunction papers is append
ed copy of one of the unions cir
culars and as grounds for obtaining
the injunction against organizing the
workers, the following excerpts of the
circular are quoted in the illegal" docu-
ment. Join the union, paper box
workers, and stick to it." "a worker
without a union is like dog without
a home "Don't let the boss brighten
YOU"
Use FaIsehoods.
1t is falsely alleged that statement
to the effect that "A strike will soon
be called was issued by the union.
At present there are no strikes being
conducted by the Paper Box Makers
Union, nor is there any intention on
the part of the union to call such
strikes. There is, however, in pro-
gress an organization campaign, being
conducted with the aim of inducing
the unorganized paper box workers,
who are among the lowest paid and
most overworked wage-earners in New
York, to join the union, in order to
obtain the 44-hour week and a min
imum scale of wages.
Reduce Initiation.
The circular to which the employ
ers' took so much dislike contains
note to the effect that the unions
regular fifty dollar initiation fee is
only two dollars during the campaign.
1t denounces the attempt of the EN-.
ployers to intimidate the workers and
make them stay away from the or
ganization meeting, saying:
IF you come to the meeting and
join the union, what can happen to
you? Think Will you be hanged the
next day? VIII you be shot at sun
rise? Can your boss send you to the
chair for it? All he can do is to
fire you. You can always get a boss;
you have no Job now, for you can be
told to get out any day. What
you have is boss. The most you can
lose is this boss"

DONATES FUND TO PAY
 FOR STUDY IN PARIS
Some Yale Art Student Wil Have Opportunity Of Going To
 Foreign City.
