ATTACKS
BARRED MEMBERS
AT RECENT MEET
Insults Progress ive
Who Dared Flay Him
(By Electrical Correspondent

by Electrical Correspondent
At the regular meeting of Local
3, I. B. of E. w, last Thursday at
the Central Opera House, East 9th
ST., Breach made most demogogic
attack on the hundreds of members,
whom he has barred from meetings,
in a strenuous effort to belittle
them in the eyes of the member
ship. He stated that in any organi-
zation of 1000 members, at least
500 or 1000 are mentally unbal-
anced, and that this trait can be
traced to their family trees.
Breach then referred to Israel
Josephson, a member in good stand
ing who is barred from meetings, as
being a "flathead." Josephson is
one of the many who have dared
to take the floor and voice their
opinions in direct opposition to
Broach's reactionary tactics. Breach
says that Josephson had the nerve
to come to his office and dare to
demand his rights" Breach sar-
castically denounced Josephson for
rights" and wrongs" It seems
not knowing the difference between
that Breach detests any man who,
like Josephson, opens his talks with
the salutation of Fellow workers."
Breach admitted the, fact that he
has organized clique or machine,
saying that this was necessary in
order to have perfect Harmony"
and cooperation inside theilocal. He
stated that the Communists should
be the last on earth to sqauwk about
his machine, as they themselves. had
organized the most powerful ma
chine in the world soon after the
revolution in Russia. Broach COM
pletely lodges the fact that the
machine" organized mi the Soviet
Union is solely for the benefit of
the workers, whereas his machine is
for the full benefit ofghimself and
his officials.
Breach stated that Ehe did not
deem it advisable to consult the
membership in reference to the
changes and additions, to the by
laws. His reason for this was the
fact that the membership was not
fully familiar with thet conditions as
they exist inside the local at the
present time. Therefore he decided
that the officials, who were
thoroughly familiar with all "facts,"
should assume the FUN responsible
ity.
The progressive group of Local
urges every member to attend the
next regular meeting of the local
and take the floor to- denounce the
man who has proved to be a reac-
tionary labor faker. IN. N.

MAY WIRTH CHIEF
ATTRACTION AT
LUNA PARK CIRCUS

Luna Parks Circus is being over
crowded, so Manager Arthur Jarvis
has decided to increase the seating
capacity of the stadium. The in
crease in the attendance at the cir
Gus is due to series of acts that
heretofore have only appeared with
the largest circuses.
May Wirth supported by the vari-
Gus members of the famous Wirth
family, recognized as the greatest
equestrian act in all the world is the
top line at Luna Park. Adele Mel
son and her trained baby elephants
is another, and "The Aerial Smiths"
is a popular third. Another feature
is the comedy clowning act of the
DeKos Brothers.

succeeded in entering Local 3. The
rest were turned loose.
This, however, did not discourage
the men who were determined to
fight for livelihood. The men or
gained again into the Alteration
and Maintenance Union, which was
later changed to the Independent
Local 1.
Send in Stool Pigeons.
But here again, the organization
after few months of existence dis
solved. The corrupt and dishonest
leadership of this organization to-
gether with the stool-pigeons whom
Breach sent in, sold out the organi-
cation. One set of officials sold it
to Breach, another one to Dick
O'Hara, former president of Local
8, who was expelled from that local
on charges of graft and corruption,
At the present time there is no
attempt being made to organize the
electricians. This despite the fact
that electricians are suffering most
from unemployment and as result
of this-low wages.
The wages of the average cleo
trician today is Sc per day.
But because of the miserable con-
ditions these men are undergoing
and because of the experience they
had with H. H. Breach, the deter
mination towards organization is
greater than ever before.
The electricians will not be fooled
any more by job-seekers in their
own organization nor will they be
fooled by Mr., H. H. Breach, the
little Caeser" of Local 3.

Your articles on Local 8, of the
|. B. E. W. carried in your militant
paper well express the sentiment of
not only the progressive members
of Local who have red blood in
them, but also that of the morgan
lied electricians in New York.
The unorganized electricians who
are working for unthinkably low
wages and miserable conditions are
also affected by the present admin
istration in Local 8.
H. H. Breach, who is we'll named
Little Caeser" is not only betray-
ing the members of Local but also
the great majority of the morgan
lied electricians. Although the
members of Local 8 are heavily
taxed to pay a salary of $115 a
week to an organizer no attempt is
being made to organize the unor-
ganized electricians.
Demands Organiatoin.
The electricians of New York
have demonstrated time and again
their determination to become
unionized Several organizations
we're formed for the last IL years
with the aim of entering into Local
8 or becoming branch of Local 8
and thereby improve their conditions.
They all failed. The desire for a
union was especially demonstrated
in 1926. when 1000 electricians
Joined the organization known as
the E. w. A., within a period of six
months.
H. H, Breach seeing the organi-
cation grow by leaps and bounds,
decided to break it up. He proposed
to take all the members in at $3.50
initiation fees without any discrim-
ination, The E. W. A. agreed, for
that time the fees were 5000 and
the books closed.
One of the conditions that Breach
demanded was that the organization
dissolve at once. This was done.
After waiting for over a year less
than 200 out of the original 1900
rank and file to run their own af-
fairs.
2. Every barred man must be
permitted to enter the meeting and
take part in the union business. He
must be given an opportunity to ex-
press his views no matter what these
are and no matter whom these
opinions displease.
3. A plan for unemployment re-
lief. Reduction of high salaries
during the period in which members
are out of work and some of them
starving. Reduction of dues.
4. The elimination of the gang
ster rule at meetings, the elimination
of the spoilers and the reign of ter
ror.

of the membership.

Oct. 12.-With the spectre of death
on the gallows looming, William
Edward Hickman, condemned to die
October 10 for the murder of Mar
ian Parker, Los Angeles school
girl, was gloomy and downcast in
his cell in condemned row" here
today.
Ordinarily Hickman has laughed
and ioked with his fellow prisoners
during the recreation hour, but yes
terday he would have nothing to do
with his companions. He declined
to Join them in the usual game OF
dominoes, and kept to himself dur
ing the time allotted for games and
exercise. :.
Just before he re-entered his cell
he had a brief talk with the Rev.
Father Raymond Kenney. His lips
were drawn tightly. his pallor was
more noticeable, and he showed
that the strain of waiting was
Weighing heavily upon him.
Los ANGELES. Calf, Oct. L.
One more effort to save William
Edward Hickman from the gallows
may be made by his attorneys, 1t
was intimated here today.
They may petition Warden James
HoIohan to ask the district attorney
of Marian county in which San
Quentin Prison is located. to have
Hickman's sanity passed upon by q
jury. This action could be taken in
the event the warden personally be.
1ieved Hickman to be insane. it was
said.
Whether or not this move will be
made will be decided after con-
