the A. F. of L. and the yellow-so-
cialists once their bureaucrats gain
hold Of the machinery of labor
organization.
The five expelled are Leo Hoff
bauer, former president of the
union; A. Resented, former secre-
tary; A. Korin, former organizer;
]. Dinoff and j. Obolovsky.
The yellow socialist" officials of
the union, headed by L. Smetona,
president, and M. Karasik, secretary,
are now seeking to re-affiliate the
union, which has been Independent
to the reactionary A. F. of L. The
union had been expelled by the A.
f. Of L. for its militancy years ago,
They were told by the International
Association Of Bridge, Structural
and Ornamental Iron Workers mis-
leaders that readmission to the A.
F. Of L. would be given considera-
ton if the yellow socialists" saw
to it that all Communists were ex-
PEELED from the union, and that no
Communists be allowed to enter the
union in the future.
The first five Communists to be
expelled by the Socialist" official
dom happen to be the Oldest MEM
bers of the union, men who built
it up and were instrumental in OBJ
tanning the 44-hour week for the
iron and bronze workers.
"When the Socialists took control
of the union machinery the mem
bership of the union had grown to
1900, due to the organizational
drives Of the left wing" Rosenfeld
pointed out.
"Now only about $50 come to
meetings, despite threats of fines
for failure to attend. Many have
dropped out and are dropping out,
due to the wrecking tactics of the
socialists Only 200 were present
Tuesday when the socialists de-
cided to expel US. The packing Of
the meeting was shown by the vote,
go to expel and 76 against.
Before the meeting the officials
ran around to the shops to pack
the hall with their own henchmen.
"The Socialists are afraid of the
coming election in January, for the
membership is growing more and
more Disguised with their wrecking
tactics daily.
Therefore they want to get all
Communists and other militants out
Of the union before the election.
1.-THE militant workers in the
union have got to fight harder than
ever to get the union out of the
hands of these nisleaders, who
want to hand the union over 20 the
betraying A. F. of l..
"The way to fight these expul-
sions is for the iron and bronze
workers to organize powerful
iron and bronze workers section of
the Trade Union Unity League.
Workers should get in touch with
that section of the League at 1928
