Denied Right to Speak
In the strike halls rank and file
workers are not permitted to speak
and express their opinions. All the
rights of the workers have been taken
away by the Hillman clique in order
to speed the betrayal.
In the canvas makers strike hall
where the workers forced the officials
to grant them the floor, the rank
and file made motions to place the
leadership in the hands Of the
workers, but the officials refused the
proposals by adiourning the meeting
over the protests of the workers.
Following the meeting the officials
stated that the workers who desired
to express theid opinions would not
be allowed into the strike hall.

of all out of town work and other
demands, and then later sold out

rageously, should put every worker
on his guard against repetition Of
