ing the electricians international, also
9. 0. Young of Tacoma, Washington
as a personal representative Of Pres
William Green of the A. L. of l.. who
as usual harped on the elements who
were boring" from within. Il was
very clear from the start of the CON
ventlon that someone had been boring
from all directions, but the speaker
lalled to reveal the faction RESPONSE.
Die for the treachery. At least he
wanted to convey the idea that the Of
tleialdom of the dominating powers
We're as pure as a new born Dabe
Every one knew that the speaker was
referring to the Communists as the
ones who were boring from within.
ms accusation could have been re-
iuted, not only oS the delegates IF
the convention, but every one kno wing
anything aobut The Bozeman Canning
20. boycott VIII ch was lifted by the
Butte CLERKS on recommendation of
their business agent who acted as an
arbitrator for Che Secretary OF the

Irea-tery!
This ar '1uy move in nfting the
boycott 4. a.. when ntncre had
been no conference held That had lust
flied the CO. wda a treacaerous piece
OF work q, organized labor has ever
been betrayed il, and ~ was said
that the 1lsiness agent Of .ie lutte
clerks union W9s not "a member Of
the Comm. ists arty. There r. 10
mistake a bort tuis betfaya, being
largely the cause Of the convention
taking the action as they did In com
bining the two offices of the Presi-
dent and Secretary-Treasurer in order
to eliminate the Secretary, who was
also charged until responsibility
for the bad move. However the fact
remains that the Secretary was not
altogether guilty Of the crime. He
was too slow for the speed of the tao
tics that were used in the case, which
werre not Communistic which even
Bro. Young must admit. Any how,
the Butte Clerks Union was white
washed for the crime they had com
mited, providing that they again re-
fuse to handle the product Of the
Bozeman Canning CO., whether this
piece Of self appointed authority will
be laid at the door Of the "boring-
from within" faction, and broadcasted
from the photographic records Of the
A. +. Of L., Is a matter Of speculation
with at least II members Of the con
vention.
