MISLEADERS IN
FINAL Move or
SECRET SELLOUT
Treachery Linked With

Especial To The DAILY W0RKER.)

Especial To The DAILY WORKER)
HOUSTON, June 25.-In accor-
dance with a secret agreement known
to have been worked out no less than
four months ago, officials of the
American Federation of Labor are
here to make final arrangements to
turn over whatever of labor's votes
they can command, to Al Smith and
the democratic party.
President William Green, vice pres
idents, Morrison, Vol, Ryan, and
O'ConneI, president of the Metal
Trades Department Of the federation,
who constitute the organizations So
called legislative committee, are here
to await their chance for a confer
ence with the democratic convention
resolutions committee. The same
committee seeking crumbs at the
heavily stocked harder Of the repubi
\can convention at Kansas City last
eek was received figuratively with
b Ene. This likewise is known to
!, Ave been a pre-arranged scheme in
>Eder that the A. F. of L. officialdom
may more plausibly endorse Al Smith,
who is expected to be nominated here
tomorrow.
Pre-Arranged.
The plan to endorse Smith is known
to date from the time when the New
York State Federation of Labor gave
its endorsement to Smith last winter.
Just at that time, Green, and officials
Of the Amalgamated Association Of
Street and Electric Railways who
were making a gesture at organizing
the New York traction workers, made
an agreement with the Tammany Hall
machine to give up organizing, and
not to call strike in return for a
favorable" decision on the INTERIOR
ough Rapid Transit Company injunc-
ton then pending against the fedora
ton and the Amalgamated.
Green then wired from Washing
ton that "the time was unfavorable
for a strike" The Amalgamated, in
accordance with the agreement, called
off the strike already scheduled, and
prevented meeting of the workers.
Within a month the existing union of
over 5000 members was completely
liquidated.
How It Is Done.
IN due course the so-called favor
aele" decision on the injunction was
granted to the A. F. of L. These Of
ficials are now here to deliver the
rest Of the goods, their support for
al Smith. One more fact needs to
be mentioned. The labor officials
more than ever are adopting the pol
icy Of dividing the workers on the
political field. Green and John L.
Lewis are both officials in the miners
union. Lewis has come out in sup
port of Hoover. Green supports Al
Smith. The Railroad Brotherhoods
support Hoover, the A. F. of L. Of
ficials support Smith.
Smith and Hoover support and are
supported by Wall Street.

Ian arose to go away, leaving the
paper on the bench. "Hey there!" a
voice beloved in his ear. "What dye
mean by leaving that paper on the
bench?"
Kaplan turned to meet the furious
glare Of the policeman. He explained
to the enraged officer of the law that
other persons who read newspapers in
the square are in the habit of leaving
them on the benches and the police
never object.
