THE PAINTERS, UNION.

The bureaucratic machine Of Dis
trict Council 8 of the Painters
Unions, has succeeded temporarily in
putting through its slate. The OBJ
vious election steal accomplished by
the corrupt group in power, came
somewhat as surprise to the pro-
gressives in charge of the inter-local
movement against the labor takers.
That such an election steal would
take place was a warning issued
more than once by observers who
were somewhat more realistic in their
view of the situation.
Failed to Raise Real Issues.
The progressive leadership of the
painters which is an honest one and
on the whole, competent will learn
its lessons from the campaign Just
completed. More especially it will
indulge in some courageous self cri-
ticism. The campaign failed to raise
clearly the vital and immediate issues
before the membership, the fight to
maintain union conditions on the Job,
the organization of the unorganized,
the question of the expiring agree
ment, the relation to other building
trades workers looking to the ANAL

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Dec. 26.-
A. Schlomowitz, business agent of
Cloalmakers' Local No. 50 Of this
city, \. Lutske, chairman Of the local,
Meltzar and Meisel, also members cf
Local No. 50, were arrested in a raid
on the union hall while they were adj
dressing the membership meeting.
The notorious "red squad" deta :
lives, Hyans and Pfeiffer, made he
raid, and charged the four arrest III
with assault with deadly weapon.
The charge is a framc-up, in an at
tempt to place the blame on the union
for the injuries a scab received during
a drunken brawl with his fellow-scabs,
near the shop where the union is con-
Quoting a strike.

When one considers the yards of pub
licity freely given to Tex Rick
ards by newspapers with calculations
that reach millions, one Can begin to
appreciate the difficulties that face
those courageous enough to swing
such an affair.
The great attendance at the fair in
its opening days proves that the con-
fidence of the left wing in the desire
of the workers to rebuild the needle
trades unions is more than indicated.
The Jewish Forward" which has
inspired and led the reactionary labor
bureaucracy of the needle trades.
whose attacks with gangsters and in
functions have resulted in the de-
struction of the clothing workers
unions, has however always posed as
a labor paper. This illusion is still
held by some workers.
With news such as follows, how
ever, the number of workers who read
this sheet are rapidly dwindling to
zero.
Last spring, during taxicab strike
| in Jersey City, scab driver was
killed. A young man, Harold Melt
Izer, was tried last week in Jersey
court for his murder. Last Wednes-

of Meltzer entitled: Harold Meltzer

Even the capitalist press reminds
its readers that Meltzer was accused
of killing strikebreaker.
The fur workers have recently de-
veloped habit which the McGrady
clique's dual union finds very I'M
pleasant. The entire market where
thousands of workers gather in the
hope of finding few hours work
has become divided off into numer-
Gus groups discussing the situation
in the union. IN the middle of these
groups is invariably found some stray
right winger being mercilessly eX-
posed by the rank and file as a dis
rupter and union wrecker.
McGrady himself has been caught
in the center of a discussion group,
and had been booed out of the mar
ket.
An open forum was called in the
right wing headquarters. Eighteen
people were present. Even the right
wingers who were there got up and
demanded unity. Compare this with
the successful meeting of the Opera
tors Local called last Tuesday by the
Joint Board, at which over 300 regis
tered and unregistered members OF
Local 5 attended.
The group forums in the market
are as numerous as ever and far more
aggressive.

PROGRESSIVES IN THE BUILD
ING TRADES.

An announcement was made last
week by a group of progressive build
ing trades workers calling for the
amalgamation of the building trades
unions and pointing to the need of
an immediate program of struggle
against the employers. The building
trades bosses are combined into one
militant class organization. Activi-
ties for instance against the striking
Plumbers last spring were conducted
not by the Master Plumbers but by
the Master Builders Association.
The local building trades unions
have year of bitter struggle before
them in 1928. The consolidation of
the progressive forces which is tax
ing place will inevitably crystalize
into a mass movement. Some of the
most militant struggles in American
labor history have been fought by
building trades workers.

TRACTION.

1t must be stated without attempt
to soften the charge that the Anal
gamated officials have permitted q
recession to take place in the efforts
to organize the traction workers.
Thus far no attempt worthy of the
name has been made to muster the
forces of labor in this inevitable task.
The offers of various unions of aid
have been left hanging in the air so
to speak. It is clear, to the workers
as well as to the traction officials,
that this is no organization drive.
The time is rapidly approaching when
1t may become necessary to analyze
a little more clearly and sharply the
role that is being played by these Of
ficials even though such an open cri-
ticism may for the moment seem to
affect the organization "drive" itself.
The window cleaners have not won
a complete victory. In relation, how
ever, to the deepening industrial de-
preston and the defeat being sus-

then the jury was out for eight tor

Capable Attorneys
"The victory of the working class
was not due to any impartiality of
the judge. It was due to the fact
that Greco and Garlic were furnish
ed with capable attorneys from the
very beginning by the international
Labor Defense and that organization
safeguarded the interests of the two
defendants at every moment and
therefore avoided the errors of the
early days of the Sacco-Vanzetti case.
1t was due to the fact that the work
ers were wide awake to this frame
up and established a united front
embracing all political opinions and
that they showed determination that
they would not allow Greco and Car
rillo to suffer the fate of Sacco and
Vanzetti.
"There must, however, be no IL
lusions regarding this victory. The
lackeys Of the capitalist class that
murdered Sacco and Vanzetti are not
through with their frame-up. This
defeat will not stop them in their
campaign for the prosecution Of
foreign born workers and the frame
up of champions of Labor The pro-
posals Of Secretary of Labor Davis, of
Chairman of Commission of Immigra-
ton Johnson, the bills to withdraw
the second class mailing privileges to
the foreign-language press as a first
step to removing these privileges
from the Labor press generally, the
widespread issuance of injunctions,
indicates that capitalism is making
every effort to destroy the trade
union movement by terrorizing mil
liant Labor and stopping the voice
of the most militant section of the
labor movement.
Must Use Victory
"The victory in the case Of Greco
and Garlic must be used for a de-
termined and victorious fight against
all frame-ups, a fight for the liberia
ton of the class war prisoners
Mooney, Billings, the Centralia cases,
against the attempt to frame-up
workers in Cheswick, Pennsylvania;
for the release of the Passaic strikers,
against the Imprisonment of needle
trades workers, for the defense and
aid of the miners of Colorado and
Pennsylvania, and for all victims of
class war oppression.
"One more lesson is clear from this
case. The lackeys in office that try
these crude frame-ups against Labor
must be cleaned out of power and a
Labor Party based on the trade
unions must be established as first
step in that direction"
