dennis their action in ordering the
dissolution of the local. 1t defiantly
declares that the militants will fight
against all enemies for the mainten-
ance of their organization.
"Our International at the last con-
vention registered an increase in
membership of $500; Local 43 CON
tributed over 5000 members to this
increase. Is this the crime of our
local that induced the G. E. B. to
make the decision to arbitrarily
break up this local which has given
so much strength and prestige to the
International Union?
'We declare frankly that it is i'm
possible for our members to believe
in the sincerity of the G. E. B. state
ment that its decision was adopted
with the idea in mind to strengthen
our international Union If the G..
E. b. had really only this idea in
mind, why then this drastic and I'M
constitutional action; why not consult
the workers themselves whose in
terests presumably are to be protected
by its decision? The conventions de-
cision to establish a Joint Board was
adopted in order to coordinate all ac-
tiyities of the locals and to arrange
for more organized cooperation. Ii
the G. E. B. was really sincere it would
carry out the instructions of the Con-
vention and not violate them.
Real Motives Barred.
"IVe declare that the real motive
for the arbitrary and descriptive ac-
ton of the G. K. B. is provided by
the statements made to our commit
tee by some of the members of the
G.E.B. at the full meeting of the G..
f. B. held on March 2nd-10th.
"At this meeting statements were
made inferfing that our delegates
dared to vote differently on certain
questions and on the election Of Off
GERS. These statements reproached
Us for being progressive and even
went so fer SIS to suggest that they
would rather see no local of trim
mefs than local imbued with pro-
gressive ideas as is Local as.
"What constitutes our progress
