BUDD WHEEL CO,
SEEKS TO COVER
UP ACCID E N 7 S
Company Tries to Hide
Injured Worker
BY a Worker cOrrespOndent.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 22.-John
Tiikka, 49, 1879 High street, had both
his feet crushed while at work for the
Budd Wheel Company.
Tiikka requested the company to
notify his landlady of the accident so
that his friends could learn Of his in
jury. The company officials promised
to do so, but failed to notify anybody.
His friends, at not seeing Tiikka at
his home, called up the Budd Wheel
Company offices to inquire what had
become of him. They were told over
the phone that Tiikka was alright, and
would give no other information.
When his friends came to the com
pany offices they we're told to go away.
Finally, with the aid OF two police
men, they again came to the company
office and we're directed to the Evan
gelist Deaconess Hospital, where they
for the first time-found out about
he accident.
An automobile body had dropped On
Tiikka's feet, crushing both. Both
feet may be amputated..
The company and its agents kept
the accident secret for a week, until
his friends, several of whom are men,
bers of the Auto Workers Union, prac-
tically forced the company to reveal
the whereabouts Of the injured worker.

SHOP CHAIRMEN
BACK new YORK
Vote Days Pay for the
Striking Cloakmakers

At one of the best attended and most
enthusiastic shop chairmen's meetings
held during the past five years, it was
unanimously decided to assess each
member of the Chicago international
Ladies' Garment Workers Union one
days pay for the benefit of the strik-
ing New York garment workers. Very
few of the shop chairmen were miss
ing from this meeting where they ex-
pressed their solidarity with the New
York union.
The following resolution was adopt
ed amidst great enthusiasm:
Whereas, our union is now engaged in
struggle in the most imortant center
Of our industry, New York City, to estab-
fish human conditions, and
Whereas, 10000 of our sisters and
brothers in that city are putting up a
most heroic fight for the past seven weeks
for 4o-hour week, for guaranteed
period of employment, for a stabilized
relationship between the brothers in the
Industry, etc, and
Whereas, the result of the strike in
New York City will, because of its being
the main center where cloaks and suits
are produced largely if not wholly, re-
fleet on the conditions which we will get
at the renewal Of our contract in jan
uary, 1927.
Therefore, be 1t resolved, that we, the
shop chairmen of the Chicago Ladies'
Garment Workers shops in session.
Thursday, Aug. II, 1926, greet our heroic
fighters in New York and promise them
our wholehearted support, and,
Be it further resolved, that we indorse
the recommendation of the Joint Board
for days pay from every worker to aid
hn hekar ttvaf1t -. ri.
Be it further resolved, that a copy of
this resolution be sent to the labor press
and to the strike committee in the city
of New York.

Vice-President WOLI and Mexico

agent of Imperialism talking to sub
ject people:
On the other hand, AMERICAN
LABOR CANNOT AND WILL NOT
RESPOND TO THE APPEAL OF
THE MEXICAN WORKERS TO
BECOME PARTISAN IN A RELl-
GIoUs CONTROVERSY. (Empha-
sis mine.)
What religious controversy?
Does what the Mexican labor move
ment correctly calls struggle for the
economic liberation of the masses de-
generate into religious controversy,
instead Of broadening into a political
struggle, because the catholic church
is and has been the largest single
land owner and therefore leader in
the oppression of the Mexican masses :?
THE statement of Vol is a dishon-
4 est statement, 1t is designed to
conceal the economic and political
struggle and puts a jesuit to shame.
Vol continues to press down the
ment and the labor movement which
supports it:
II is still more difficult for Amer
lean labor to understand the per-
emptory methods adopted to give
enforcement to the Mexican eonstl-
tutional provisions.
WHAT peremptory methods?
w The church has had since the
enactment of the old constitution in
1857, and since the new constitution
Of 1917, to show its intentions of abid-
ing by their provisions.
How long does Vice resident Vol
think the Mexican masses should wait
for the church to make up its mind
to show something it has not done
until "the peremptory methods"
brought it to terms, /. e., that it is
abiding by the law in any way?
Sixty-nIne years seems to be ample
time, but to one committed to "evo-
lutionary processes, like Woll per-
haps it is not enough.
THIS spokesman of American labor
l. next uses the Mexican issue to say
a good word for the encyclical letter
Of Pope Leo XIII. 1t is no mild tribute
either. VOL says mo announcement
was ever issued that proved more
helpful.
The statement by woll, the catholic,
follows that by Green, the protestant.
There is little difference between
them except that Vol is more openly
a partisan of the catholic church.
Neither one of these A. F. Of L. Of
ficials offers aid to the Mexican trade
unions or the Mexican government in
its present difficulties.
TINE Monroe Doctrine Of Labor APP
parently does not operate against
such VIGOROUSLY. foreign-controlled
feudal organizations as the catholic
church even when they are doing the
dirty work of the, Mexican reaction
aries and American imperialists.
1t is called into operation only when
militant international organizations of
the working class, like the Red Inter
national OF Labor Unions, tries to
bring the Mexican labor movement
into the ranks Of organized interna-
tional labor so that II can better fight
the offensive OF American Imperialism.
THRU the Pan.American Federation
l. Of Labor, the Mexican trade
unions should now put the question:
Where does the official leadership
OF the American Federation Of Labor
stand--WlTH US OR AGAINST

BOAST OF HOW
They EXPLOIT
T.B. TAILORS

DENVER, Col, Aug. 22-How the
tailors, one of the trades in which
tuberculosis RACES most, are exploited
by scab bosses when they are afflicted
with this disease, is told in an artful
advertising letter sent out by the Will
berforce-Reed Company of Denver.
The advantage of having skilled tail
ors who are suffering from consump-
ton modified in shops to make
clothes for scab wages is enlarged
upon in the circular as follows:
Very Unusual.
This letter is very unusual, for 1t
will tell you the story of the unusual
labor situation prevailing in Denver.
Several of the officials of this con-
Germ had been engaged in the retail
tailoring business for years, and al
most every day in the small shop they
operated experienced bench tailors
from all parts of the country came In
begging for a chance to work.
"Only one out of fifty could be en-
ployed on account of the limited bust
ness these people were doing, and so
these experienced bench tailors were
forced to seek work in other lines, for
owing to their health or the health
conditions of some member of their
family they were forced to live in
climate such as Denver, and Denver
is practically the only really large city
in the United States that has the nee
essary altitude for sufferers Of this
kind.
M ain a Certain Sense"
THESE people are not Ill In GER
tain sense, but they cannot live in any
other climate. and It seems that the
tailoring misunderstanding to the In
door work and the conference.-the
resulted in many OF the workers in
this industry being stricken with a
tendency to these troubles.
Here was a labor situation that
had no parallel in any other large city
in the country--here were hundreds
Of the finest workers in the trade who
had given some of the best years Of
their lives TO learn a highly skilled
;rade--who were forced TO live in q
certsin locality, but when they ar
rived lin that locality could not find
the work for which they were trained
and adapted.
"unheard-of Opportunity"
"The owners OF this concern be-
lieved that there was an unusual OPP
portunity for a concern that would be
mn mar cent SQUARE and above board,
TO give TO the tailoring industry
quality Of workmanship that would
excel anything ever before offered in
The United States at price that was
unheard OF, and would be impossible
n made under any other condition"

VICE PRESIDENT THEW
WOLL of the American Fedora
ton of Labor proves his concern for
the Mexican labor movement in the
present crisis by calling on American
trade unionists to do nothing.
The crisis in Mexico seems to be
subsiding, the attack of the catholic
church upon the Mexican constitution
appears to have failed, the solidarity
of Mexican labor has been remarkable,
but to the officials of the American
Federation of Labor, upon whom the
great responsibility of giving practical
expression to the rosy promises Of aid
made at FL Paso to the Mexican trade
unions, whenever it was threatened by
foes from without and within, no
credit can be given. They have
shirked their plain duty and make a
mockery of the Pan-American Fedora
ton of Labor, have shown conclu-
sively that the Monroe Doctrine of
Labor" ostensibly placing the Ameri-
can trade union movement in opposi-
ton to all foreign interference in the
colonies and semi-colonies of Wall
Street, is invoked only against inter-
national organizations Of the working
class.
THE recent statement by Vol in the
4 Photo-EngraVers Journal, which
was given wide publicity by the capt.
talist press, is marked by a careful
sympathy for the catholic church and
the harsh and categorical formulation
of it's denial of assistance to the Mexi-
can trade union movement. He says,
after quoting Gales and catholics:
Mexican labor calls it a fight for
the economic liberation of the
masses Organized American
labor will do we'll not to Join its
power and influence with either Of
the eontending forces.
Vol either does not take the word
of the Mexican labor movement or
else does not want American labor to
aid such struggle.
But worse than this, Vol apologies
in the name of American labor for not
taking part on the side Of the catholic
church by saying:
Not that American labor Is anti
religious. To the contrary, II is in
tenseiy concerned In having relI-
glous freedom prevail thruout the
world. --t G4fto
A CCoRDING to VOL, American la
"A Dor is more concerned over re
ligious freedom" that it Is over the
economic liberation of the masses"
for which any genuine labor move
ment must fight. -.-
Notice now how kindly Vol speaks
OF the monstrous proposal Of the
Knights of Columbus that the en-
barge on arms into Mexico be lifted
the preliminary to an armed invasion,
official or unofficial, TO the slaughter
Of Mexican workers and peasants who
insist on the enforcement OF the con-
stitution: ..t,

BRENNAN SAYS
FARMERS MUST
Get DEMANDS
Does Not Know Their

George E. Brennan, democratic
nominee for United States senator UNI
burdened himself of good intentions
for the voters Of Illinois in general
and for the farmers in particular at
the annual Piasa fish fry in Jersey.
vile, Illinois. Having sense of the
fitness of things George told a few
fish stories.
Didn't Know What They Wanted.
Brennan admitted that he had not
the slightest idea what the farmers
needed but he knew what they
wanted and he was willing to humo1
them provided he received their votes.
A druggist may know certain liquids
are not good for customer but a
druggist is not paid for playing the
role of health commissioner. He gives
the customer what he wants not what
he needs and takes the customers
money. Thus everybody concerned is
satisfied.
At Home on VoIstead.
On the Volstead law Brennan talked
more like himself. Not that Georg,
has an uncomfortable thirst or hank
ers for the amber fluid. What he re-
sents is the encroachment on indt
vidual liberty which is sewed up in
this law. Brennan got hand when
he offered to drown Wayne B.
Wheeler in a vat of potato mash, if
the opportunity presented itself. This
of course was taken as witticism
and Brennan will not be indicted fol
completely before the act.
The senatorial candidate did not
discuss the recent slush fund probe or
comment on the extraordinary gener-
osity of Samuel insult, who contrib
uted to the primary campaign ex-
penses of Mckinley, Smith and Bren,
nan.
