TRAITOR BERRY
Union Magazine for
Corrupt Misleader

(BY Workers Correspondents)
George l.. Berry, president of
the International Printing Press
nen and Assistants Union of North
America, has been selected to act
as chairman of a committee to
advocate the election of Gov. AL
fred E. Smith to the presidency of
the United States. Major Berry
and his committee will confine
their activities to the members of
organized labor throughout the
country regardless of party af-
filiatiOn. Major Berry is a native
Tennessean and lives at the Press
mems Home, Tenn, where the
home of the Interna tional Print
ing Pressmen and Assistants
Union is located. Major Berry is
not only favorably known through
out this country by members of
organized labor, but enjoys a wide
acquaintance in the business and
professional world. He is a fluent
speaker, ready debater, and is an
excellent organizer"
Typographical Journal (September)
This is the way the officialdom
of the International Typographical
Union acquiesces in the notorious
methods used by this strikebreaker
1t is well-known by every member
of the New York union that this
man is probably a greater menace
to the typographical union than any
person in any of the printing craft
unions.
If the organized printing trades
were not officered by such a bunch
of milk and water yes men, this man
would not only have been exposed
a long time since as nothing but a
tool of the employing class, but
would probably be enjoying the
"sweet bliss" of some penal insti-
tuition. Even such a reactionary as
Matt Woll said some time ago in
a private conversation that Berry
was no longer regarded as a part
of the labor movement. But then,
this reactionary clique which has
been selling out the rank and file
for so many years has warm spot
for this arbitrator. Had the Typo
Journal told the truth it
would have treated this bit of news
as follows:
George L. Berry, convicted thief
and strikebreaker, who, through the
services Of the Burns Detective
Agency at the behest of the boss
printers, is president of the Interna-
tional Printing Pressmen's and AS
sistants' Union of North America
has been selected as chairman of a
committee to sell the labor vote tc
Governor Alfred E. Smith, favorite
son of Tammany Hall.
Major Berry is the notorious trai.
tor to the labor movement who stole
from the union S165,000 and also
broke the strike of the New York
pressmen some years back. He is
also on the democratic national com,
mittee, placed there by the publish.

faithful services to their association
and also to give the major a chance
to reimburse himself at the expense
of this other big wing of capitalism

become tired of carrying the gentle,

Our old friend, William Randolph
Hearst, the fellow who puts all the
money in our pay-envelope, looks
after our welfare so carefully and
sees to it that we keep our nose to
the grind-stone and our minds in
cold-storage, is supporting Herbert
Hoover for president.
How does it happen that our dear
friend and employer, Mr.. Hearst,
who all his life has been democrat
and has been elected to a office. as
a democrat, has now seen the light
of the true faith of Andy Mellon
and the Ohio Gang? Does the leo
pard change his spots Not a leo
pard of Mr.. Hearst's kind. He just
calls them by new name.
Heads or Tails?
Hoover or Smith-heads and tails
of the same coin minted and owned
by Wall Street. Whichever wins,
the printers and all other work
ers, working class loses. Whichever
wins, Hearst knows that his profits
won't suffer and that his wage
slaves will get just as little of those
profits as they do now.
Looking over into the camp of
the blushing progressive" our own
Al Smith, chief servant of one of
the most corrupt, most labor-hating
political machines in the history of
the country-Tammany Hall, we see
another old friend of all printers,
Major George Leonard Berry, presi-
dent of the International Printing
Pressmen's Union has been selected
to serve on the democratic national
committee to sell the labor vote to
wall Street. This is the gent who
started out as international president
with not cent to his name and as
a result of 20 years of hard work
and devoted service managed to salt
away about half million dollars.

both playing tennis, waved their hands
