ers employed by the New York and
Brooklyn Edison Companies, Breach
ragged and frothed at the mouth, and
started a most severe campaign of
persecution against the progressive
of that local.
would like to ask Mr.. Breach a
few questions.
Mr.. Breach, what secret agree
ments have you with the New York
Edison Co. and the Brooklyn Ed
son Co.?
Why do you refuse to organize
the electrical utility workers en-
ployed by these companies?
Why do you viciously persecute
members of Local 20 when they try
to organize them?
Takes Away Work.
Should it not be the purpose of all
good and true union men to organize
their fellow workers in the same
trade and if it should, why do you
rage when these members of Local
20 want to do it?
Why did you take away the work
Of the Hudson Ave. power house
from the members of Local 20?
Wasn't it for the primary purpose
OF discouraging these workers and
weakening their efforts to organize
the utility men employed by the New
York and Brooklyn Edison COM
panies?
And now our honorable and hys-
terical Mr.. Breach speaks of cam
paign against the New York and
Brooklyn Edison Companies. What
a joke!
Breaks Union.
Mr.. Breach, isn't it true that
when the unorganized alteration and
maintenance electrical workers or
ganized the independent Local No
1 after losing all hope of the A F
of L. ever organizing them, that
you sent in your spies and your
thugs to break up that organization
and didn't you succeed?
Breach, in carrying out the wishes
of his masters the building trades
employers and utility corporations
stands ready now, as ever before, te
prevent the organization of the un.
organized building trades workers Of
which the electrical workers, doing
construction work are part, and
the unorganized utility electrical
workers.

Some time ago at a meeting of
Local of the International Brother
hood of Electrical Workers, H. H.
Breach, international vice-president
told the membership that in the
near future his efforts would be
directed towards the opening of a
campaign against the New York
Edison Co. and the Bell Telephone
Co. of New York.
But Breach forgot to mention the
nature of the campaign. The mem
bers would like to know whether it
would be an organization campaign
or merely campaign" to gain
some of the work now being done by
unorganized electrical workers in
the employ of these two companies.
Keeps Corrupt Contract.
These companies employ thou
sands of electrical workers who in
stal meter equipment and telephone
apparatus. Breach has done moth
ing to organize them.
The former officials of the union,
the corrupt O'Hara group signed a
contract with the Edison company
pledging themselves not to organize
the electrical workers employed by
it In compensation the union was
to get some of its power work. What
has Breach and his local machine
done to get out Of that contract
Nothingl
In spite of all his boasting, Broacf
and his lackeys in control of Local
8 continue to work under the O'Hars
agreement, in spite of the fact that
the members of the corrupt O'Hars
group have been expelled from the
local and for two and nalf year!
have had their places filled by tn,
present officials.
Gentlemaniy Betrayal.
Evidently Breach and the cliqu,
in control of the union have ono,
more entered into one of theil
'gentlemen's agreements" with tht
employers. For a consideration q

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Feb. 20.-The

of the political flunkeys who consti-

No less flunkey than the mayor

When the local International La
