SOU new members were organized
into the Hotel Workers Branch in
1928 indicates that there was no
lack of organizational activity in
the union at that time. If these
members were not held. as Burk-
hardt complains, it was the fault not
of the Hotel Workers Branch but
rather of the apathetic Central Ex-
ecutive Board, inspired by Burk-
hardt and his boosted quarter of a
century's experience"
Militant members of the union
know that if the A. F. w. had a
more centralized, progressive con-
troll, and if the official organ of the
union actually voiced the demands
of the workers in the industry, every
local in the union would hear less
about lost members and lost shops
and more about increased member
ship and union victories. But how
much advice has the union got from
the Central Executive Board, and
how many times did rank and file
members of the Union see Burk-
hardt?
Obermeier was not, as Burhhardt
lies, compelled to leave his office
as secretary treasurer" Obermeier
declined to run for that office, but
was nominated instead for union or
ganizer And Burkhardt conven-
iently refuses to state how many
members remained in the unior dur
ing Obermeier's term of office. And
does he forget that under Ober-
neier's leadership, with rank and
file support, the union conducted
such a successful fight against one
of the biggest concerns it ever con-
trolled, that rather than suffer de-
feat, S4,000,000 business was ulti-
mately compelled to liquidate?
Local f64, Burkhardt points out,
gained It's members within the last
year. Local 16i is the only union
that showed results against unfa-
vorable circumstances. But IS the
increased membership due to the
control of the Central Executive
Board? No! Increased organiza-
ton is due entirely to the militant
campaigning of the officials and
rank and file members of Local 1874.
Yet, in spite of the increased men,
bership, this local is not getting sup
port from the Central Office, as
many of the delegates to the Cen
trail Executive Board know.
Local 6 is increasing its member
ship. But what is the administra-
ton doing to keep it? True, the A.
+. w. shows an increase of 800
members. But these members come
from The very locals that clamcr for
more militant, progressive policy
and a union organ that reflects ac-
curately the struggles and aspira-
tions of the workers in the food in
Gustry.
Michael Obermeier is a candidate
for general secretary of the Az, F.
W., not because of personal griev-
snces, but because he expresses the
demands Of the militant workers of

not received the actual support of
the organization. The situation
among the food workers is such that
unless the entire membership and
the entire organization constantly
support the various branches of the
industry, progress in organizing the
unorganized workers will not be

heroic struggle to maintain itself,

LATIN AMERICAN
UNIONS TO MEET
AT MONTEvIDEO
May Congress Call to
Get Wide Response

MONTENEGRO, Uruguay, Feb.
1.-The Provisional c 20 m m t t e
working for the establishment Of the
Latin American Trade Union Con-
federation. announces that many Ia
tional trade union organizations of
different Latin-American countries
have already announced their adj
hesion to the program issued by the
preparatory conferences and have
elected delegates to attend the con-
stituent congress to be held here
May Is.
The following countries are re-
ported to have elected delegates from
their principal national trade union
center: Colombia, Venezuela, Ecua-
dor, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Para
quay, Bolivia, Brazil, Uruguay,
Mexico, Cuba, Panama, Salvador,
Costa Rica, and Guatemala. The
new confederation will rally trade
unions to the struggle against i'm
perialism, and its servile tool, the
Pan American Federation of Labor.
Even in the preparatory stage, the
committee organizing the coming
congress has done much to unity the
labor movement, especially assisting
the marine transport strike on the
La Plate river, in uniting all sup
port to the striking plantation work
ers of Columbia and. sounding the
alarm against the war danger by its
call to the workers and peasants of
Bolivia and Paraguay.

"Since it is forbidden, according
to our constitution, that campaign.
ing for an office be allowed, this
time the General Executive Board
regardless of the constitutional pro
visions in this respect, has sane
toned such action" declares August
Burkhardt, candidate for reelection
for general secretary-treasurer OF
the. Amalgamated Food Workers, in
the current issue of the Free Voice
of the Amlagamated Food Work
ers. Burkhardt's statement accom-
panies the declaration of Michael
Obermeier, the opposing nominee for
the office.
With background of "a quarter
of a century's" experience in cleo
ton campaigning, it is easy for the
bureaucratic Burkhardt to publish a
statement against the opposition
candidate after first ensuring, with
the aid Of the machine whose exist
ence he denies, that the opposition
submits its election statement first.
Thus he smothers Obermeier's
chance to make a reinstatement.
For by the time such statement
would appear in the official organ
the elections will have been over.
When Obermeier's statement was
first submitted to the Central Ex-
ecutive Board delegates opposed a
paragraph relating to Local 6 on
the grounds that such paragraph
might prove harmful to the general
organization. Obermeier in.medi-
ately stated that he would be glad
to change the paragraph, if, IN the
opinion of the delegates, the effect
would be harmful to the food work
ers.
1t was accordingly agreed that
Obermeier's statement be published
in the Free Voice." provided that
the paragraph in question be re-
vised after consultation with the
editor of the paper. When, how
ever, a motion to this effecS was
taken up, Burkhardt strenuously OBJ
jected on the grounds that he al
ready had his answer ready. Burk-
hardt, then, in his anxiety to con-
tinue office, whether for the benefit
IF the food workers or not, gives one
more proof of his boosted sincerity
and devotion to principles.
"We find that the Hotel Work
ers Branch at the time he tOber-
meier) took office could boast of
membership of $500, and during the
year 1928 initiated into their ranks
within seven months over $500 new
members" Burkhardt almits in his
statement. Then he complains that
these new members could not be
held.

Honor Killing Gag

BINGHAMTON. N. Y. Feb. L.
The state of New York, through the.
local district attorneys office. is ac-
lively helping two white mTrderers
of Negro worker, Jasper Dillworth,
to evade paying the penalty for their
deed.
Dillworth, who used to work for
Gaylord, a white farmer of the
neighboring town of Barker, was re-
Gently beaten to death with a small
axe and a stick of wood. Gaylord
and farm hand, Cornelius, en-
ployed by him, were accused of the
murder and forced to confess.
With the help and connivance of
the district attorneys office they
brought in the old gag of killing
the Negro to protect white woman
hood" Gaylord and Cornelius are
now telling a story of the dead man
trying to force his way into the
room where Gaylords two daughters
were sleeping, and giving fight when
he was detected.
District Attorney Urban c. Lyons
has made it known that he will not
prosecute the two white men fer
murder, but will merely ask indict-
ment on a charge of manslaughter.
