VOLS Denial of Peace
RumOrs Shows Quarrel


New York Furriers' Joint Board
states that unofficially, individual
emissaries did approach representa-
tives Of the Joint Board with peace
propositions over the heads Of the
A. +. of l.. committee"
Evidently VOLTS statement yester-
day is a gesture of authority intended
to show that he considers himself the
all-powerful one.
"Our committee the special A. F.
Of L. recognizing committee has full
authority in the situation here, he
says, "and our committee has no
knowledge whatsoever Of any nego-
tiations such as are reported to be
in progress. Furthermore, our COM
mittee would under no circumstances
have any connection with any such
move"
Failure Means Quarrel.
He states further that the matter
is in the hands of the federation COM
mittee "there can be no possible basis
Of peace at any time. Vol says
he has nothing against the rank and
file of the fur workers, but only
against their Communist leaders.
at is natural says Ben Gold that
after the A. +. of l.. committee and
the officers of the international Fur
Workers Union have so dismally
failed in their registration adventure
that there should break out dissen-
tons and quarrels among the con-
glomeration of socialists, anarchists
and individual self-seekers whom the
A. F. of L. committee has organized
to fight the Joint Board"
Gold adds that the Joint Board has
always been ready for peace and
unity, and is prepared to conclude
peace now if the international Fun
Workers Union officials "wlll stop al
once their intimidation Of fur work
ers and close up their dual union.

Ben Colds complete statement OF
the denial Of peace runiors is as fol
lows:
eve are not at all surprised al
the sudden warning issued by the A

Discordant Elements.
at is natural that after the A. F

the International have so dismally
failed in their registration adventure
that there should break out dissen-
sions and quarrels among the con.
glomeration of socialists, anarchists
and individual self-seekers whom the
A. F. of l.. committee has organized

"The Joint Board is aware Of the
fact that certain individuals in the
camp of the International had pre-

register the fur workers in a dual

However, the Joint Board has al
ways been ready for peace and unity
The action of the International Of
ficers in expelling the New York
Joint Board was absolutely unconsti-
| tutional and is not recognized by the
Joint Board. We are prepared to
submit this matter to a representa-
tive convention of the fur workers
We are prepared to conclude peace
bprovided the International officers
will at once stop their intimidation
of fur workers and close up their
dual union"
