capitalist bank. When the Fedora
ton of Trades (later the A. F. of
L. declared the great general
strike of 1886 he opposed the move
ment in the X. of L. convention,
and when the strike spread in spite
of him, he sent out secret cir
cular on the eve of the strike ad-
vising the Knights to take no part
in it. "This," says Schilling in 1.-THE
Life of Albert R. Parsons" "pre-
vented thousands of Knights from
participating" and injured the
movement profoundly. But Pow
derby was applauded by all the capt.
talists. After being cast off later
by the workers he was appointed to
a well-paid government position
where he vegetated pleasantly for
many years.
Or perhaps the capitalist bribery
may work out as in the case of T.
V. O'Connor, chairman of the U. S.
Shipping Board. This man, once
labor leader, has become not only
a wholesale political graft n
(charges were recently preferred
against him) but also labor union
crusher. Says the Locomotive En-
gineers Journal of him, March,
1925:
Andrew Furuseth, the aged but
fiery head of the Seamen's Union,
accuses him of breaking down the
conditions of Americans at sea.
Furuseth charges that the Ship
ping Board spent $4,000 in 1919
to break up the Seamen's Union.
1t is amazing that former
president of a great union like the
international Longshoremen's AS
ISOLATION should be guilty of trying
to put sea conditions back to their
status of 20 years ago."
Or the corruption may take place,
not by bribing Individual leaders,
or groups of leaders alone but also
categories Of skilled workers whom
they represent. This is the very
worst form of capitalist bribery, the
giving of concessions to favored
groups of the labor aristocracy at
the expense of the great masses of
unskilled and unorganized. 1t has
done much to undermine and weak
en- the trade union movement.

ruption of the union leadership and
the selling out of the workers has
become a regular profession.
The Employers Bribery.
Many are the ways of the en-
ployers to bride labor leaders. 1t
may be direct and for cash, which
has happened innumerable times.
Mulhall opp. 2626-28 of his testi-
mony) recites the following typical
incident of a Cleveland strike:
"Mulhall: Mr.. Volmer (the bust
ness agent of the strikers) ordered
the men back into the shop and they
went.
"Sen. Reed: Did you pay him?
"Mulhall: Yes. 1t has been
complete victory for the employ
ers. The labor union made an I'M
conditional surrender"
Or consideration" for the en-
ployers in handling labor disputes
may lead to very substantial indus
trial favors, as in the following
case: The Cleveland Citizen of Feb.
%, 1925, says:
"Ex-Secretary John G. Owens
Cleveland Federation of Labor is
now connected with the Joseph La
ronge Co., the leading real estate
firm in the city. He has already
put through several big deals and
is learning his new trade fast"
Or take the case of Thos. Rowe,
Pres. of the Flint Glass Workers
Union in 1916, who is now manager
OF the American Bottle Manufac-
turing Association of Newark, Ohio.
Or the case of G. w. Berger, ex-
board member of the Window Glass
Workers, who is now director of
the National Window Glass Manu-
featuring Co. Or hundreds of others
that might be cited who have re-
ceived good jobs from the employ
ers because of their pliability.
Political Returns.
The employers bribery assumes
many forms. 1t often leads to poll
teal preferment, as we have point
ed out in the previous chapter. See
the typical case, for example, of
the conservative Pres. T. J. Duffy
of the National Brotherhood of
Operative Potters. He was given a
post on the Employers Liability
Commission of Ohio, at a salary of

Stitch-Down, Slipper
Workers Begin Union
Drive at Meeting

As part of the general campaign
to organize the shoe manufacturing
industry here, the Independent Shoe
Workers Union of Greater New
York held mass meeting last night
to which all workers in the stitch
down and slipper manufacturing
trades were called. The meeting
was held in Manhattan Lyceum, sc
Fourth st.
The workers in the shoe industry
here are at present practically un-
organized, while the employers are
highly organized in number of as
sociations, manufacturing different
lines of work. Unions affiliated to
the A. F. of L. and even independent
shoe unions, reactionary in both
categories, have repeatedly betrayed
the workers in the industry.
Charles S. Zimmerman, leader of
the National Organization Commit
tee of the Cloakmakers' Union, and
organizer A. Magliano were the
chief speakers.

BY WILLIAM Z. FOSTER.
(From "Misleaders of Labor.")

THE words bribery" and 'be-
trayal" are hard terms to apply
to men standing at the heads of the
Strade unions, but they are neverthe-
fess exact and just. No milder ex-
pressions can properly characterize
the practices followed by the trade
union bureaucrats. AS a settled
policy, they compromise the inter-
ests of the workers and in return
for this they receive recompense, in
one form or another, from the en-
ployers.
In all countries of the world the
conservative trade union leaders
constantly follow a policy which
sacrifices the interests of the work
ers. But especially is this betrayal
manifest when the aroused masses,
through general strikes and upris-
ings, threaten to deal capitalism a
heavy blow or to overthrow it. Then
the reactionary trade union leaders,
who do not believe in the revolution
but in the gradual reform of capt.
talism, rush to the defense of the
employers by paralyzing the at
tacks of the workers against them.
This. was the case in Germany in
1919. when the social democrats
prevented the revolution. 1t hap
pened also in the great French
strikes of 1920, and in the historic
British general strike of 1926. And
now the conservative union leaders
in these countries are following up
these acts of treachery by support
ing the League Of Nations, the
Dawes Plan, the naturalization of
industry, and every other scheme
calculated to put capitalism on its
feet again. In these countries also
the leaders are being corrupted, not
only through political office but by
direct monetary bribery, as witness
the infamous Barmat scandal in
Germany, the recent exposures of
corruption in the Swedish socialist
unions, etc. But nowhere is the be-
trayal of the workers by their lead
ers more far-reaching and funda-
mental, and nowhere is the bribery
Of these leaders more constant, sys-
sematic and demoralizing than in
he United States. Here the cor

2 Killed When Boy
Pilot Falls From Plane

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Nov. 8 U.D.
Two 1S-year-old high school boys
were killed today when Leonard
O'Keefe was thrown out of an air
plane he was plotting over San
Diego bay and the ship crashed into
the water, carrying Marvin Dor
land.
O'Keefe was believed to have for
gotten to fasten his safety belt be-
fore attempting to stunt the plane.
Even had Dorland been capable of
plotting the ship he could not have
done so because there were no con-
trolls in his cockpit.
The plane first attracted the at
tention of Coronado residents when
it was observed flying upside down
with only one occupant.
Dorland's body was recovered a
short time later near the spot where
the plane struck the water, but his
companions body had not been
found tonight.

Cutters League Grows;
Plan Active Work in
Dressmaking Industry

A we'll attended regular meeting
of the Cutters Welfare League was
held last night in the headquarters
of the National Organization Com
mittee, 16 W. 21st Street. The out
standing question before the meet
ing was the preparation of the work
ers in the industry for the coming
general strike in the dress manu-
featuring trades. The meeting de-
cided to Immediately formulate
plans on how most efficiently the
cutters can help develop the move
ment for the organization of the
cutters in the dress trade.
"A report made by A. Horowitz, or
ganizer of the League, gave clear
evidence of the rapid and steady
growth of the League as compared
to the growing disintegration in the
cutters local of the right wing scab
union. The Dubinsky clique in con-
troll of the Sigman Local 10, workers
from the floor testified, must use
methods of terror in order to extract
dues from its members. This was
explained when the worker told of
how cutters were actually kidnapped
and brought in taxicabs to the right
wing office, where dues We're forced
from them under threat of being
beaten up.

kN!TTERS HOLD
FARLEY SUNDAY
To Start Build Union
Drive" in City

Workers in the shops of the knit
goods manufacturing industry are
choosing from among their number
delegates to attend the conference
OF shop representatives to be held
this Sunday afternoon at D. m. in
Irving Plaza Hall, 18th st. and Irv-
ing Place. The purpose of the
conference is to organize the forces
of the workers in this trade in order
to launch campaign to build
union.
Although a union of this trade al
ready exists, the organization is
quite weak. The Knit Goods Work
ers Union was formerly affiliated
with the A. F. of L. United Textile
Workers, but are now Joined uu with
the left wing National Textile Work
ers Union of America. They intend
to carry on this drive till the ma
jority of the shops in the trade are
signed up with the union.
At the conference Sunday after
noon, Albert Weisbord, national
leader of the new textile union, and
Louis Hyman, chairman of the Ma
tional Organization Committee of the
Cloak and Dressmakers' Union, will
be the principal speakers.
Thousands of circulars are being
distributed among the workers in
the trade to get them to sent repre-
sentatives to the conference, which is
for the first time expected to be a
gathering representative of this
hitherto unorganized industry.

How Workers Were Killed.
Patrolman William Gillespie, who
arrived at the scene of the disaster
soon after the explosion occurred,
described the scene for the United
Press.
when l arrived there were only
two badly burned bodies lying on
the sidewalk in front of the wrecked
factory" he said. "They appeared
to have been blown there, but maybe
they had run out of the building,
their clothing afire, and then
dropped dead on the sidewalk.
There were five other bodies,
also badly burned, lying around the
factory. l heard one big blast and
then three smaller ones. A gust of

doubtedly stimulation to other la
Dor men to be reasonable" as
Duffy was, in their dealings with
employers.
Or the bribery may take the
shape of social flattery, as we well
exemplified in the case of Com
pers himself. Was he not lionized
and made much of by all the lead
ing statesmen and capitalists Was
he not slobbered over in the press
as the greatest labor leader in the
world? Anyone who believes that
the oceans of flattery that were
poured out upon Gompers by the
big politicians and capitalists was
not the sweetest music to his ears
and did not influence his conduct
are unacquainted with the man. The
fact that he preferred the lime
light and great power as president
of the A. F. of L. rather than rela
tive obscurity in the political posi-
ton he might have had did not les
sen the effect upon him of capt.
talist praise. And so it is with
many reactionary union leaders.
They bask and glow in the warmth
of friendly capitalist publicity.
Capitalist bribery of labor leaders
is subtle. It's actual consummation
in tangible results may rest far off
in the future. Conservative labor
members prepare to harvest it by
many acts of treason to the work
ers that give them the reputation
with the employers of being "relia-
Bile" men. These eventually get
their rewards. Thus, for example,
VIM. Hutchinson laid up stores of
responsibility for himself in CAPT
talist opinion when, in Feb, 1918,
at the request Of Woodrow Wilson,
he arbitrarily called off the strike
of the carpenters in the eastern
shipyards without even allowing
them to vote upon it. The whole
upper trade union bureaucracy pro-
fitted likewise in the eyes of the
bosses by its stand during the war,
whether specific individuals imme-
diately secured good berths or not

in commemoration of the tenth an

In a statement issued to the

section of the All-America Anti

ouflaging their preparations for
new war.
"No less than 24O meetings and
1877 sessions of the various coun-
ellis, assemblies and commissions of
the preparatory commission on dis
armament have been held" she
stated, "and the sole fruits of these
407 meetings are a convention on
the trade in arms, which only
France has ratified, and protocol
prohibiting the use of poison gas in
warfare which has been ratified
only by the Soviet Union, France
and Venezuela. This. fact alone
shows how colossal has been the
camouflage of the discussion on
armament.
The secretary further called on
the workers to rally to the meeting
on Nov. 10, adding that all class
conscious workers have long watched
the struggle between the powers for
oil, rubber and economic concessions
and had never been deceived by the

others.
