The great menace of the company
union to which attention was drawn
in the last section was illustrated in
the case of The marlborough by the
fact that the Interborough Brother
hood" has all the advantage of the
industrial union operated in the in
terests of the company and all the
weaknesses Of the craft form Of or
ganization dividing workers.
Never Meet.
The Interborough Brotherhood"
embraces some thirteen thousand men
but is divided into thirty-three sep
arate locals which DO not meet under
any conditions. Representation is
provided for on the basis of one dele
gate to- every $50 men, making a
total of about 55 delegates to a gen
eral committee, which, with the presi-
Gent, is the governing body of the
company union.
The rank and file are kept in COM
plete ignorance of all activities out
side of their respective locals. The
delegates Of the general committee
meet as a joint board, a body OF
unique coerciye power, as the last
July strike so clearly portrayed.

which the workers will surely be par

But read a little further. This inno-
cent paragraph, apparently so unim-
portant, really means that the final
say as to the qualifications for the
delegates is reserved for the general
committee itself. Quite like The
Central Trades and Mr.. William
Greenl
In the last Brotherhood" election,
for instance, delegates who had been
nominated were summoned before
Paddy" Connolly, questioned as to
their "loyalty" to the brotherhood
and either approved of or disquali-
fled In the case Of the particular
delegate who presumed to run against
Paddy himself, he was asked which
he preferred, his job or the office.
He preferred the job!
Concessions-Not Exactly!
You will notice other provisions
containing the embodiment of long
fought for demands on the part of
the men. Reading these provisions
you may again be impressed with the
liberality and justice of the princi-
ples laid down. But turn to the sec
tions referred to which are to pro-
vide for the method by which the
concessions made are to be carried
out. You will not find these sec
tions and articles at all! 1t is quite
ike having prohibition without the
provision for an enforcement act,
guarantees of justice with capitalist
Judges on the bepchs the, right of la

NEGRO WORKERS SOLD BUM
HOUSES

(By a Worker Correspondent.
Many workers trying to find relief
from high rents in the city, go to
the suburbs. If they come to South
Jamaica, it will be a case of jumping
from he frying pan into the fire.
The district where poor people live
is unspeakably ugly, with an ice
plant, a city dump, a filthy ditch. an
incinerator, and a steam laundry
helching smoke. In a storm the
streets, deep in water, are almost
impossible. This is the section
where most colored people live.
The Building Boom
For about year, feverish build
ing activity has gone on here. Hun.
dreds Of box-like, six room houses
lave been hastily thrown up. These
ierry-built structures are made at
tractive by flashy paper, paint and
modern improvements. The builders
ask between six and seven thousand
for these cheaply built shacks.
But they are new and so find ready
and quick purchasers. In many
cases the houses are sold before they
are finished. An appeal is made TO
eolored people throughout the metro
politan area The clever ads bring
droves of colored workers out every
pleasant Sunday and sales are brisk.
The southerner who doesn't like a
Harlem flat anyway and the north
erner, oppressed by outrageous rents,
needs little persuasion to buy one of
these new clean shells.
Defects Concealed
However. there are a few items
left out Of the salesman's spiel. He
doesn't mention the long distance
from Jamaicas business center, the
time necessary to get to the city, the
cost of cleaning cesspools, and the
over-crowded schools.
Colored Workers Sold Bum Houses
Two inefficiently managed car lines
serve the section, but one of them
breaks down in any severe rain
storm. All this the bally-hoo man
keeps under his hat.
Not until he has spent a winter in
his fancy contraption, does the worker
wake from his dream Of home owner
ship. After that experience he re-
alizes that installments plus interest
charges, taxes, coal, water, insurance
and carfsre bring his expenses up
to his Harlem rental. He wants to
send an SOS call for a Harlem lodger.
But worst Of all he has bill for
repairs. A year hasn't gone and he
needs new roof Water Is coming
through in several places and spoil
ing the new rug. Heavens, it isn't
paid for!

Organize the Traction Workers

Elections to the general commit
tes are held on company property un-
der the supervision of either com
pany officials or the delegates them
selves. Ask John Lewis, for in
stance, what may always be depend
ed upon to happen under such cir
eumstances. John was recently de-
feated for the presidency Of The
United Mine Workers.
Nevertheless, he is still in office
and will he the infamous misleader
of the next fake settlement with the
bosses or Of an equally fake strike
call due next April.
Company Runs Union.
Accordingly it is same to assume
that the Interborough officials have
had no difficulty in managing the
general committee.
The president of the Brother
hood' is a genial Irishman by the
name OF Patrick J. Connolly. Pats
early history is, as the books say,
altogether shrouded in mystery.
There are in existence various trou-
blesome rumors reporting him to
have been one of a crew of strike
breakers imported from Chicago dur
ing the 1905 strike He has never
chosen to "brand" this rumor for the
lie that it still might not be. But the
question as to the historical accuracy
of this fact loses its importance in
the light Of Pats more recent and
more clear-cut claim to the role Of
strike breaker.
Pats Queer Friendship.
Paddy" Connolly began his ca
reer very definitely as a thick-head-
ed, dorhineering company tool, but
under the skillful tutorship of Mr..
Quackenbush and his legal lights,
Paddy has developed into shrewd,
genial, semi-suave, cunning and de-
ceitful hypocrite. In the staccato of
his very marked Irish brogue you
will hear the ring of warm friend
ship.
You are sure to believe that be-
meath that breast there beats heart
overflowing with the milk of human
kindness. But this gentleman, more
than other single agency, is respons-
ible for the exploitation, suppression
and peculiar forms of outrages prac-
tised on the men.
BY such methods as will presently
be described he has been the means
in some instances of compelling the
workers TO vote themselves a de-
crease in pay at times when the ris-
ing cost of living had left them
wage hardly above the subsistence
level.
Keeps Pay Low.
On other occasions he has utilized
the company union machine" of the
general committee to turn back any
rising demand for increases in pay
or changes in hours. The method
which he adopts TO carry out his at
tacks is study in itself. A COM
plete TRADE of abuse is launched,
first by one of his ready henchmen,
usually Mr.. Mangan. Immediately
the attack is taken up by one, then
another Of the "gang" No insult or
slander is left unused in order to
beat down the opposition of an ag-
gressiye delegate. Ask LAWN, Bark,
Phelan or Walsh for testimony as to
this fact. But of them, later.
Pat Gets Rich.
In Characteristic condemnation of
any such rising minority, Paddy is
wont to hurl the thunderbolt of his
