WOLL HEADS ANTLLABOR SQUAD, SAYS MAURER
Send WO|I AtterF Harrington

n MATTHEW WOLL has been caught betrayng labor.
wi The accusation together with the evidence has been
made public by James H. Maurer president of the Pennsy
vana State Federation of Labor.
WOD as acting president of the Civic Federation of
Labor responsible for the efforts of that organization to
kill various old age pension bsegsaton endorsed by the
American Federation Labor of which he is vice president
The anti-labOr activities of the Civic Federation are
financed by the Carnegie Foundation.
Vol is therefore beneficiary of fund left by the de-
ceased steel capitalist who fought labor all his life and left
stipulated finance these activities after his death
There is something ghouish in the role played by
WO Through him head of the Civic Federation the dead
hand of Andrew Carnegie who in his day hired hundreds of
PnkertOn detectives to disrupt the labor movement
salaries to respectable stool pigeons equipped with fountain
pens and typewers to poison the channels of publicity and
deceive workers Some of this tribe parade officials of the
labor movement.
Vol has tried to cover his career as agent of the
enemies of labor with the mantle of crusader He has
cazed in denOuncng Communists enemies of the labor
movement
1t seems clear now that VOLTS purpose in his attempts
to drive Communist workers out of the labor movement has
been to distract attention from his Judaske activities
His motto has been the that credited to William
Hale Thompson former of Chicago, by his erswhe
friend Fred Lundin
when in doubt, hire band'
Vol has beaten the tOm-tOms and called for
Communist and left wing workers until the labor movement
is distracted with the din.
While labor OfficiadOm has been hunting for COmmu-
lists Vol has been gathering in and paying out the Carnegie
fund shekes to scutte the Odage pension legislation
There is remarkable similarity between the of
Vol and Frank harrington former president of District H.
United Mine Workers of America recent fraerna delegate
to the British Trade Union Congress- exposed paid
agent of the Peabody Coal Company in the Miners Union and
forced to resign.
Harrington mighty hunter of 'reds." He expelled
all militant opposition elements and ruled that the de-
Tense committee organized to back the victims of the Ku Kux
Kan in Ziegler, Illinois, "dual organization"
Harrington joined hands with Lewis in the expulsion
campaign against the Communists and left wingers Like
Vol, Harrington could work himself into frenzy the
subject of Americanism Communism while saying
nothing but nice things about the bosses.
To considerable section of the American working class
this attitude the part of labor leader the
thing finding individual writing code letters to de-
tective agency or the department of justice
Before very long test that will be used by the whole
labor to determine the loyalty of its leaders
We that if this test is applied Matthew Vol
and the trade union membership permitted to express their
conclusions his Jeky and Hyde will end suddenly
We do not advocate any cruel and unusual punishment
for WO-we do not want to send him to prison depOrt
him although this is his program for dealing with Communist
workers.
What want and what going to get, with the
support of millions of workers who have
agents whether they just ordinary spies or
Vol and all he stands for in the American labor movement
In plain words do not tinkers damn how long
Vol continues be member and official of the Civic Fed
Grafton but going to do all in power that
he is driven of the American trade union movement
'We Want Vol To Follow harrington is a good slogan
