Boston Workers Dispute
Over Jurisdiction

BOSTON, March 8.-Jurisdiction-
al warfare in the local unions of the
American Federation of Labor has
again broken out. This time it is the
Carpenters District Council which
applied for an injunction against the
officials Of the Lathers' Union Local
72 and number of building con-
tractors.
The reason given in the application
for the injunction is the fact that the
fathers have been installing what is
known as hollow "metaf trim"
The carpenters union charges the
fathers organization with conspiring
to take the carpenters under their
jurisdiction and in this manner to
wreck the carpenters union.
Hearings on the injunction proceed
ings are being held in the Suffolk

BostonRightWing Rules
Let's Off Ballot

BOSTON, Mar. 28.-Despite the al
most complete boycott by the member
ship of the elections in the Boston Lo-
Gals 46 and 80, held here Tuesday, the
right wing clique in control of the
International Ladies Garment Work
ers Union announced the election of
their own delegates to the coming ma
tional convention. This was accom-
plished by the simple expedient of
ruling off the ballot any name known
to be in favor of unity in the union.
In the Dressmakers' Local As an
election and objection committee of
five, which is supposed to decide on
the eligibility of the candidates, was
elected at the recent membership
meeting. The right wing officialdom
Immediately deposed three members
from the committee, because they
feared that they might declare the
left wing candidates eligible Of the
remaining two, one resigned in pro-
test over such unconstitutional pro-
cedure. The only one left, right
winger, willingly did as he was told
in drawing up the official ballot.
The membership is enraged at these
terrorism acts. They are demanding
the calling of membership meeting,
so that new honest elections may be
held.
A membership meeting of Local Sc,
held on Tuesday, was turned into a
protest demonstration by the member
ship, when the right wing chairman
announced that all candidates run
ming for delegates to the convention
would be compelled to sign yellow
dog statement" This is a printed
pledge declaring that the undersigned
condemn the Workers (Communist)
Party, the Jewish Communist Daily
Freiheit, and the Trade Union Edu-
cational League.
Not only left wing members Of
local Sc protested at the meeting but
even such who were known not to be
in sympathy with the left wing. See
ing that the meeting was getting be-
yond his control the chairman tried
to adjourn the meeting, but without
success. He then left the meeting.
The vice-chairman, however, even
though not left winger, then took
over the chair and conducted the
meeting to its close.

At the same time the demand for

In the Ritz factory workers labored
under the most miserable conditions,
Investigators for the Consumers
League said. Clothes were dirty,
utensils were covered with dust and
the melting candy running over the
floor made it almost impossible to
walk. Everything in sight was sticky
and the odor almost overpowering.
Windows were so dirty and the
shelves so blocked with rubbish that
they barred proper ventilation and
light. Thirty of the workers did not
have health cards from the medical
department.
In the Shapiro factory it was found
that water oozed from the sugar
sacks. 1t was reported that they were
purchased from dealer who buys
foodstuffs in places where fires have
occurred.
