to claim that it is doing something
to solve the problem.
Members of the Anchor Club, who
have been active in seeking solu-
ton of the problem were bitter in
their denunciation of this move.
Will Be Killed.
at is obvious" one of them said,
"that this resolution will be disre-
garded by the Tammany Hall politi-
clans and their republican fellow
grafters. How hypocritical this res
olution is may be seen from the fact
that at the last meeting. the labor
skates of the Central Trades and
Labor Council, attacked unemployed
workers who came there to report
their suffering. At that meeting also
so-called unemployment program
was adopted which was intended to
side-track the real issue.
Following an order from Tammany
Hall, the Central Trades forced thru
a resolution to create an employment
bureau which will give job to only
one person, John Sullivan, the bloated
president of the New York State
Federation of Labor.
"This is the program which Breach
is supporting"
In line with the growing discon-
tent on the unemployment issue there
has grown up considerable amount
of bitterness over number of other
issues in the union the neglect of
which, on the part of Breach, is be-
ginning to appear more and more
like betrayal of the members inter-
ests.
No Accounting Given.
A motion to secure an accounting
of the activities of the organizing
committee made at the last meeting
was strenuously opposed by the
Breach administration.
Breach himself spoke on the issue
and gave as an excuse the fact that

significant. Breach has testified that
his reign has greatly increased the
membership of the union, yet he APP
pears to fear any accounting of his
organizing efforts.
More definite criticism has been
voiced of the enormous expense being
entailed by the excessively large staff
Of high salaried men now on the pay
roll while thousands Of workers are
literally starving. Breach has char
acteristically sought to stave off cri-
ticisTn on this issue by making
proposition that will be used some
time in the future. This promise is
likewise being branded as fraud"
by some of the more informed mem
bers in the union who point out that
even if this move were genuine it
would take several years to put into
effect. In the meantime Breach is
doing nothing to relieve the immedi-
ate suffering.
Getting Wise To Breach.
Another member of the Anchor
Club stated that "our members are
now getting wise to Broach's game.
We now understand what he is up
to.
Recently another group of workers
pointed out that only new and mill
tant program could solve the problem.
in the industry. The chief demand
was amalgamation of the building
trades unions to meet the united
front of the building trades bosses;
a real program of unemployment re-
lief; shop steward system on thee
jobs; equal division of work during
unemployment, etc. In addition the
issue of "For a Labor Party" was
raised. 1t was shown that the old
parties had already too long betrayed
the interests of the workers
