CARPENTERS 376
ASKS LOCALS TO
CHECK OFFICIALS
Hutcheson Persecution
Basis of Appeal
Especial to The Daily worksr)


BROOKLYN, N. ", Aug. 2e.--Local
No. 376 Of the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners of America, is
appealing to the other locals of the
union to take action against the ar
bitrary regime of President William
L. Hutchinson of the general organiza-
ton.
Expels His opposers.
Under the pretext of technical VIC
lations of the union constitution, Hut
cheson has punished all who oppose
his policy by a whole series of sus-
pensions, explosions and charter re-
yocations. Local No. 376 has had its
charter revoked because its recording
secretary, Nathan Rosen, was the
candidate against Hutcheson on a
progressive program in the last cleo
ton.
Each local union Is receiving from
Local No, 376 a letter explaining it's
appeal to the general organization, a
resolution for consideration by the
local receiving it, and small book
let setting forth in detail the conflict
between Hutcheson and the progress
sives in the union. An appeal is made
to all local unions to defend the con-
stitutional rights of the members and
locals and stop Hutchesonis persecu-
ton of all progressive opposition to
his autocratic rule
A Progressive Program.
The progressive program proposes
measures to strengthen the union or
ganization, give the carpenters job
control and the forty-hour, flye-day
week. Amalgamation of the build
ing trades upon a departmental basis
is Included, in the demands, along
with uniform agreements, expiring at
the same time and to be ratified by
the rank and file.

BILLION DOLLAR
RAIL MERCER
BEING PLANNED

NEW YORK, Nov. 10-Financiers are
watching with keen interest negotia-
lions leading to the most important
railroad merger in the western half OF
the United States. 1t involves the Hill
roads'--the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy-whose combined capital is
more than $1,000, 100000.
Arthur Curtiss James, director of
the Great Northern and the largest
individual holder of railroad securities
n the country, indicated that merger
plans were under way in dispatches
received IN the financial district.
$4,000 Miles.
He was quoted as saying that the
eventual extension of the northwest
lines into California was James Jim
Hills dream. and that the great rail.
road builders vision generally came
| true.
The three carriers total more than
$4,000 miles Of lines which tap one OF
the richest sections of the United
| States.
From the viewpoint OF mileage
alone, the consolidation OF these three
important railroads will make for the
largest system in the country. The
Burlington operates more than 1900
miles, and the Northern Pacific about
$500 miles, altho this covers only the
main lines. Should the Western Pa
ciac finally be included in the unifica
ton plan Of the managers OF these
properties the total would be IN
creased by more than 1000 miles.

will be made OF the perfection Of the
plan under which the consolidation
will be brought about is not consld.
cred probable, but with several other
pending mergers this one probably
will await the enactment OF laws
which will permit such action.

At the meeting of Painters Union
275 at 220 Oak st. last night three
important actions were taken, one on
the Queen of Roumania, one on sacco
and Vanzetti and on the cloakmakers'

ton of protest against the Roumanian
queen was passed in which stress was
laid on the fact that there are $500
political prisoners in the jails Of her
country.
A telegram was voted sent to Gov.
Fuller Of Massachusetts, demanding a
new trial for Sacco and vanzetti.
Three hundred dollars was unanimous
ly voted to help the struggle of the
striking cloakmakers of New York
against a vicious anti-labor injunction
MADE against them. More money will
be raised for the cloakmakers in the
near future.

Austrian Socialists Aid
Capitalists Strengthen
Tyranny Against Labor
BY J. LOUIS ENopAHL.

IN the days when Communists
were making their exodus en-
masse from the American socialist
party, its theoretical leader, Nor
ris Hillquit, argued frantically that
the Communists were not Marx
ians, declaring especially that Karl
Marx had never mentioned the die
tatorship of the proletariat In any
Of his writings, and here the Com
munists, even in the United States
Of America, were demanding tho
dictatorship in the form Of soviets
during the transition period from
capitalism to Communism. Argu-
ing thus, Hillquit claimed the social
lists were the only real Marxians,
the only true disciples Of Karl
Marx.
OF course, Hillquit had to close
his eyes to everything that Marx
had ever written in order to cling to
his untenable position. 1t is sufici-
ent here to quote what Marx said
in the Gotha program.
Between the capitalist and the
Communist society there lies the
period of the revolutionary trans
formation of the one into the other.
Accordingly there will be a political
transition period whose state can.
not be other than the revolution
airy dictatorship of the proletariat."
Messrs. Bauer, Renner & Co.. in
the best Hillquitian sense, have
now put their Austrian Social-Dem-
ocratic party thru the motions of
adopting new program which they
claim is entirely Marxist. The bold
claim is made that "the entire trend
Of ideas in the draft is Marxist."
Such hypocricies are not uncommon
among the Austrian socialists who
offered themselves as the vanguard
in the attack on the Communist In
ternational thru the organization of
the Vienna (Two-and-a-Half) Inter-
national, with their own Fritz Adler
as one Of its chief heroes.
Like many European socialists
who gave lip service to the revolu-
ton in the days following the world
war, American socialists were not
backward in claiming they we're in
favor Of affiliation with the Commu-
mist International with reserva-
tons"
When it became clear that the
position Of the Communist Interna-
tional was for affiliation without
reservations, then American social
lists drifted toward the Vienna In
ternational, then declared for no
international af1liation. Now they
sit with the Austrian socialists
back in the Second (Socialist) In.
ternational, helping as best they
can, according to their special abil-
tiles, in serving the interests of cap
italism.
The New York Times spends a
goodly sum to have about 1900
words cabled to this country re-
viewing the new Austrian program
adopted in the congress just ad-
journed at Lintz. 1t is good news
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-11-12

for the American imperialist inter
ests that have adopted Austria as
a foster child.
The whole aim of the new pro-
gram is to ignore the social revo-
luton entirely, even forgetting to
give the slightest mention to the
existence of the Union Of Socialist
Soviet Republics, while stressing
every pet issue that will capture a
few more votes ito win power, not
in the next generation, but in the
national elections next year" Tho
New York Times halls the fact that
the Austrian socialists have gone
thru decided break with several
OF the most traditional Socialist
revolutionary doctrines"
Like American socialists, the
Austrians fondly embrace
the imperialist league of ma
lions, urge "the defense Of the re-
public" refuse to combat the dead
ening influences of religion because
1t might ALLEVIATE some Of the back
ward peasantry, avoid entirely
class analysis of the present Aus
trian state and therefore blot out
all traces of Marks courageous
theory Of the development of the
internal contradictions of capital
ism and Of the inevitable growth in
class antagonism. The Austrian So
cialists try to forget the lessons Of
the world war that has just passed
and they ignore completely the
forces bending toward the world So
cial revolution in the future. Thus
the Austro-Mardsts, in their task
of helping to strengthen and per
feet" the present Austrian capitalist
state, turn traitor to all the princi.
pies of Marxism.
Thus the social traitors of Aus
tria follow in the trail of McDon-
aldism in Great Britain that gave
the British capitalists zone of the
best administrations they ever had"
when J. Ramsay Macdonald, as
labor PREMIER" entered the serv-
ice Of the king. The Austrians, for
instance, join Macdonald, in his
support of imperialist expressions
in its colonies. Thus Nilcolai Buk-
harm, in Analysing the Austrian
program, points out that instead of
recognizing the right of oppressed
peoples to rebel and pledging them
selves to support the national revo-
lutions against imperialists Ut is
characteristic that the program
does not even call these revolutions
by their name) the leaders of the
Austrian llst-Democratic party
speak of these colonial movements
as the main reason for the danger
of war!
American socialists win hail the
Austrian program as an endorse
ment Of all their treasons to the
working class in this country.
But that labels them as traitors,
nonetheless. The Austrian program
should give to Americas workers a
clear view of the pro-capitalist role
OF the social-democracy in Europe
at this hour.

Condemnation Of the injunction issued

Emergency Labor Conference of I'm

Tobin writes of the injunction that
''it is so dangerous that the masses
OF our people should rise up against
1t. 1t is continually creeping in and
destroying the fundamental principles
of liberty" Morrison says: "The re-
sistance OF the New York cloakmak.
ters against the threatened revival Of
the sweat shop system is an inspira-
ton to the organized workers of North
America The clOakmakers must also
combat the labor injunction that has
swept aside their fundamental rights.
II these workers permit themselves,
If they fail to increase the agitation

efforts to acquaint the public with the
employers purpose and with the eff
fecl OF a writ that is a reproach to
American judiciary The labor in
sunction and the sweatshop go hand
in hand"
Referring to the cloakmakers' in
junction, Tobin says THE latitude
Of the injunction depends entirely
upon the prejudice Of the judge, and
Judges, being human, are very often
deceived and prejudiced Every trick
known to The legal fraternity hired by
the employers against the cloakmak-
ers was called into practice in order
to prejudice the court when the appli-
cation for an injunction was made,
and all honesty, decency and truth

made that the clOakmakers are for
eigners. imbued with the desire to
destroy American Institutions, with
not the best interest of our country
in mind and many other dangerous,
farTeaching, unprincipled, hidden
charges were conveyed in the plea for
the injunction, with the result that,
as stated above, a most sweeping in
junction was granted the employers
against the striking but determined
cloakmakeTs."
