LOCAL 9 CLIQUE
RUNS SPEAkEASY

NEW YORK.-While the Local g.,
I. L. G.. w. election was going on
Thursday the left-wing members dis
covered some facts which prove that
those workers who think that the
fake "progreSSiVes" and their col
leagues, the Lovestoneites, have no
spirit are in great error.
During the elections a speakeasy
was discovered which proves, on the
contrary, that they had plenty OF
spirits. Credit for this discovery is
due to the left wingers. The left
wingers of Local 9 found out on the
day of the elections that at 80 E..
Seventh st. there is speakeasy
where people are being taught to
vote, from where they are sent to
the polling place where the voting is
going on. The left wingers immedi-
ately went to Seventh st. and found
that at this number there is an
empty store which the administra-
ton of Local had hired for one
day. Plenty Of booze of the real
genuine kind was found there, and
throughout the entire day herds of
people we're brought there in auto
mobiles, where they took q sip and
received a valuable lesson in how to
vote. From there they were imme-
diateIy taken to Stuyvesant Casino
Baldwin o. KS 1t.
A number of the left wingers went
to protest to Roger Baldwin, who was
called in by the gang as a so-called
impartial supervisor"
The left wingers demanded that the
election should be nullified. The
Schlesinger gang OF the local were
very indignant over teh fact that the
fake "progressives" had learned the
speakeasy business from them, and
they also joined in the protest. Bald
win agreed that this practice was
worse than Tammany Hall, but he
stated that it was only moral Of
Tense" and therefore decided that the
counting of the votes should con-
tinue and that the election will be
declared void only if the admins
stration is elected by small min
GRITTY. Later in the afternoon the
Schlesinger clikue completely with
drew from the election.
Despite all this fraud and speak
easy business the left wing slate
especially in the executive board, is

CARPENTERS HIT
DECREE TO CURB
EMERGENCY MOVE
District Officials in
Dissolution of Local
2090 Committee

The Left Wing Opposition OF Car
penters Union, 2O9O, issued a state
ment yesterday denouncing the at
tempt of the New York District Coun-
Gil to remove all democratic rights
within the union. The statement is
addressed to the members of the local
and reads:
1.-THE New York District Council
has once more trampled upon the
democratic rights of the membership.
Several local unions that have set up
an emergency committee with the
idea. of lettering the conditions OF
the carpenters are threatened by the
despots of the District Council, who
conduct the affairs of the Carpen-
ters' Union as if it were their pri-
vate property, consider this crime"
They have "decreed" the dissolution
of that committee and imposed fines
upon those taking part in it, among
them the chairman Of Local Union
2O9O,'
Local Union 2090 and other locals
of the Brotherhood should now stand
squarely against the action OF the
District Council, because it is not
only case of the emergency COM
mittee which failed because of not
having a militant program and tao
tic. 1t is a principle case. 1t is the
rights OF the locals and the menu
bership which we now have to defend
against the interference of the Dis
trict Council and the Hutchinson Ma
chine.
AT the same time we must call the
attention Of the members that the
local unions should stand up for their
rights. irrespective OF weakened in
dividuals like Morrelly, who having
Cnce been a member of the radical

hood hade a cowardly attack against
radicals" when faced with the ac-
ton OF the District Council. Those
that say they aer against ''radicalisn
and help to defeat radicals can not
be and are not sincere towards the
workers. They are mere job holders,
seeking popularity for themselves
with militant talk, only TO collapse
when faced with a fight. We must
stand against the treacherous &C
tons of 5korrelly in this case, while
At the SINE time standing for the

RAYMOND FLAYS .
Music IN CIVIC
CLUB NJ EXITING
Warns Edison Workers
A ga in st Socialists
and Independents

NEW YORK-"You are out of Or
der. This was the answer of A. j.
Music, chairman of a so-called Edison
employees protest meeting at Civic
Club Thursday night, when Harry
Raymond, representative OF the
Daily Worker, who took the floor
in support of the struggles of the Edi-
son workers, launched into a scathing
expose of the reactienary role of the
socialists who are posing as friends
and saviors of the working class in
their struggle against wage-cuts and
unemployment.
Raymond took the floor in the dis
cussion which followed report by
Rev. Eliot White of the Civil Liberties
Union on the brutal smuggling and
maltreatment which he received from
the Edison Electric thugs December
IL while distributing leaflets to the
Edison workers in Brooklyn. He
pointed out that the attack in Brook
Ign was not merely fracas, as Rev.
White describes it, but an integral
part of the class struggle, and that
the attack was organized by Matthew
S. Sloan, president of the company
and member of Hoover's fake jobless
relief committee, and was part of the
Hoover hunger program against the
workers.
But when Raymond spoke Of the
role of the Communist Party and the
Trade Union Unity League, exposing
at the same time the betrayalS OF
the socialists and so-called middle
road groups, and called on the work
ers and intellectuals present to take
their stand with the Communist Party
and the revolutionary unions, Music
called him out of order and gave the
floor to representative of the Y. M.
| C. A.
The Communist Party and the T,
u. U. L., in supporting the struggles
of the Edison workers warns them
against such smooth labor betrayers
as A. j. Music whose agents, Carl
Holder1nan. John Edelman and Louis
Budenz, recently sold out the hosiery
workers to wage-cut of 80 to 80
per cent. The building of rank and
file shop committees under the lead
ership of the revolutionary unions is
absolutely necessary at this time to
smash the terror of the bosses and
defeat any betrayal attempted by
Music or his henchmen.

have been kept in strict secrecy as
those of the Hoover-aval, Hoover
Grandi pacts for war upon the work
ing class.
There is one thing positive that
the workers know and is clear to
everyone, that behind the closed door
Hillman agreed to help the firm
starve the 100 workers until they will
be forced to accept the wage-cut and
reorganization plans Of the boss. The
work of Simon and Alderman is
being made in other Hillman control
led shops and, to be specific, the work
is being made at Lyman and Berg
man and at the shop located at 500
briggs Ave, Brooklyn. When the
workers of Hyman and Bergman pro-
tested and refused to Scab on their
brothers, Mr.. Jackson and Catalan
otte told their either do the work
and keep quiet or you will be fired
from your job"
The workers of the Simon and
Alderman together With the workers
of all other shops must unite under
the leadership of the Rank and File
Committee for determined struggle
against the boss and the Hillman ma
chine who are responsible for the mis-
cry of the tailorS.
The lockout must be turned into a
strike, by placing picketS in front OF
the shops whether Hiilman and Pack
son like it or not, and to stop the firm
from manufacturing the work in other
shops. Get in touch with the Rank
