BY WILLIAM z. puNNE.


ENXTENSION of the drive against
~ the Communists and the left wing
to Chicago gives the campaign ma
tional character.
A rapid succession OF incidents
shows that the drive is not being con-
Quoted by needle trades officials alone,
but that the Chicago Federation of
Labor officialdom is cooperating ac-
lively with the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers officials and the right wing
in the Ladies' Garment Workers
Union and the Furriers' union. These
events are
l. The breaking up of the Temple
Hall meeting on Friday, Dec. 10, at
which Ben Gold, chairman of the Joint
Board OF the New York Furriers'
Union, and Sacha Zimmerman. man
ager of the dress department of the
New York Joint Board of the Inter
national Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, were to speak on amalgamation
and aid for the cloakmakers strike.
The meeting was under the auspices
of the National Needle Trades Com
mittee for Amalgamation, a section
Of the T. U. e. L.
This meeting was broken up by
combination of police, sluggers and
right wing officials, and a right wing
meeting held at which Levin, man
ager, of the Chicago Joint Board OF
the Amalgamated; Fitzpatrick and
Nockels, chairman and secretary of
the Chicago Federation of Labor, were
the principal speakers.
THE Chicago Federation of Labor of
ficialdom thus gave its sanction to
the war on the left wing and the
Communists.
2. On Sunday, Dec. 10, another meet
ing under the same auspices, with
Ben Gold as the principal speaker,
was broken up by the same combina-
ton of forces. The manager of Hertzl
hall was bought up by the right wing
after he had demanded a deposit OF
$1,000 from the Needle Trades Com
mittee, and the hall turned over to
the Amalgamated officials, who were
in charge of the fight.
The left wing went to another hall
and held a meeting, which the gang
sters tried their best to disturb.
3. On Tuesday, Dec. IA, a meeting
of the furriers' union, regularly
authorized by the executive board,
with International President Shacht-
man present at the time, was held in
the. Odd Fellows hall at 18th and Al
bahy to hear Ben Gold
TTHIS meeting was likewise broken
up by police and gangsters, includ-
ing officials from other than needle
trades unions.
The day before the meeting Edward
Nockeis, secretary Of the Chicago Fed
grafton of Labor, called the police de-
partment, told them that "a Commu-
mist agitator by name of Gold" was
'disrupting" the labor movement and
that he wanted him taken care of.
In Boston, HICKMAN of the execu-
tive board of the l. L. G. w. with the
assistance of gangsters and demo-
cratic politicians, broke up left wing
meeting.
THE national character of the right
i wing campaign is clear. 1t is
necessary now to determine two
things

strike s1ho
IL. The failure of the executive
council Of the American Federation Of
Labor to give even sympathetic sup
port to the struggle Of the Mexican
labor movement against catholic .feud-
alism and American imperialism.
10. The endorsement Of the Citi-
zens' Military Training Camps by the
A. F. Of L.gofficialdom and the public
offer of its aid in popularizing them.
IA. The aattempt of President Green

basic demand for, a 4O-hour week.
10. The investigation of the furriers'
successful strike ordered, by the A. f.
Of L. executive council in violation of
all trade union custom and law.
1.-THE tremendous mass support re-
L ceived by the Passaic strike forced
the A, F. of L. executive council to
retreat from its original purely hos
tile position and accept the strikers
as members Of the United Textile
Workers.. 1t was smarting from this
defeat when the A. F. of L. conven-
ton went into session.
Here it met brOadside from the
hard-boiled OPEN shop capitalists of
Detroit, who appeared to- take Sc
riously the purely platonic statements
relative. to organization of the auto
industry by the officialdom 1t was
impossible in this situation, without
abandoning all pretense of loyalty to
trade unionism, for ,oficialdom to re-
,use aid to Passaic, altho Vice-Presi-
dent Vol did his best to postpone
consideration Of the question.
TTHE Passaic strike was endorsed,
4 aid from international unions
pledged and another defeat admins
tered to an officialdom which a few
short weeks before had called it "a
Communist enterprise"
1t is probable that the report of the
committee appointed to investigate
the conduct of the furriers' strike
would have been made at Detroit had
the open shoppers.
WYE have, then, in connection with
" the occurrences at the Detroit
convention which irked sorely an Of
flcialdom whose reactionary tenden-
eies can be traced clearly by the Sc
ries of actions and utterances enum-
Grated above, series of militant
strike actions by the rank and file sup
porting the Communist and left wing
policies:
I. The Passaie strike.
2. The Furriers' strike.
8. The |. [. G. w. strike.
.IETORSE than this for officialdom has
w been the splendid discipline and
spirit of the workers in these strug.
giles and the gains made by the work
ers in spite Of the sabotage of the
right wing.
These developments naturally are a
menace to the policy of worker-em.
ployer cooperation, and there is nc
question but that there have been
some sharp reprimands administered
to their agents in the labor movement
by such organizations as the Civic
Federation.
But this is not all. There have been
other indications of "a growing organi
cation of left wing forces that did moi
fit in with the plot OF the play in
which mperialist-minded labor of
ficials we're to be directors and the
workers only actors-most of them
without speaking parts.
