West Coast. Not a single word
about the textile strike involving
100000 workers, not a single word
about strikes in any part of the
U. S. :. Let me recall to you an
instance three months ago. We
were holding tremendous open air
meeting in New York City Of work
ers organized in local unions af-
filiated with the A. F. OF L., in be-
half OF the general strike on the
Pacific Coast. Thousands of work
ers on Union Square listened to
speakers asking for financial sup
port, for moral support to help the
militant strikers in San Francisco.
We realized in New York that a VIC
torious struggle in San Francisco is
a victory for the entire population
OF this country. We have also real
lied that a defeat in San Francisco
is a defeat for the entire popula-
ton. Irrespective of political affili-
alton. Republican, Democrat, So
cialist or Communist. every one
realized that solidarity in every part
Of the country would help the strike
in San Francisco. Our great presi-
dent, Mr.. Green, who received the
key to the city from Mayor Rossi
today, stated that the general
strike on the West Coast was not
authorized by the A. F. OF L.
The gentlemen in Washington in
political circles were excited. Said
William Green; Don't get excited.
the A. F. Of L. has nothing to
do with this strike One hun
dred thousand A. F. of L. members
participated in this strike! That
the strike was not authorized by
the A. F. of L. is lie! 1t was not
authorized by the Executive Coun-
Gil! No strike was ever authorized
by them! :. F. But the rank and file
organized in the local unions all
over the country know that only
through strike struggles can their
conditions be bettered, and we will
fight until they are won.
Destroy Their Graft
Bosses and bureaucrats say that
We want to destroy the A. F. of l..
but we are building it for the rank

Textile Strikers Picket
Coatsville Mill; Demand
Scab Operations Cease

COATSVILLE, Pa, Oct. 17--One
young textile picket, Alta Ashen-
felter, was arrested when several
hundred AronSohn silk mill strikers
picketed the Christina plant Of the
same company.
The picket demonstration was
held to greet the at empt of the
Aronsohn Co. to open the mill at
Christina in Lancaster County,
after all attempts to break the
strike in Coatsville failed.
Apparatus of the Christina fire
company was brought into use
against the strikers. Workers of the
Aronsohn mill remain 100 per cent
solid, and have made it known that
continued efforts to operate the
Christina mill with scabs will call
forth a still greater demonstration.
The company thus far even refused
to meet the strike representatives.
The following day another mass
picket line appeared. The workers
are getting more militant than ever
as they see the boss trick of pitting
the workers at the Christina mill
against those at Coatsville, and it
is expected that the struggle will
reach a still higher pitch.

Weinstock Calls on A. F. of L. Locals To Send
Delegates to National Rank and File Convention

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct IT.
With the A. F. of L. convention
at San Francisco over, the need
for a rank and file movement in
all unions is more apparent than
ever" said Louis Weinstock, ma
tional secretary of the A. F. of l..
Rank and File Committee, as he
urged locals and progressive trade
union groups to send delegates to
the National Conference of the
A. F. of L. rank and file, to be
held in Pittsburgh on Oct. a and
%.
With the rank and file confer
ence of unions, held here stimuli
taneously with the A. F. of L. con-
vention, concluded, Weinstock is on
his way to New York and will adj
dress mass meeting at Webster
Hall New York on Oct. 25, where
he will report on the A. F. of L.
convention and the tasks before the
rank and file committees in all
unions.
In San Francisco the rank and
file convention was opened by a
large mass meeting at Eagles Hall,
at which Weinstock outlined the
issues facing the American trade
unionists, and the reasons for the
left maneuvers at the convention,
by Lewis, Tobin and such.
His speech in part follows:
This rank and file organization
in the A. F. of L. challenged the
Executive Council of the A. F. of
L. for the past three years. 1t
represents hundreds of thousands
CT rank and file A. F. of l.. work
ers and it says that the Executive
Council is not the true represen-
tative OF the A. F. of L. rank and
file. We, and only we, have the
right to speak in the name of the
organization. :.
I'm the past IL months the facts
prove that the rank and file in
the local unions are disguised with
the leadership of the Executive
Council. 1t is expressed at the local
unions and established in hundreds
of small and large strikes which
have taken place il the U. S. What
happened in the A. F. of L.? Did
VIM. Green go to the left: did Mat
thew VOL become radicalized or
did the rest of those in the Execu-
tive Council become conscious

have not changed their policies but

have gene over the heads of our
international officials. They did

strikes, for the good advice of VIM.
Green, Ryan and other Interna-
tional leaders, but they have taken
steps which have resulted in the
tremendous movement which has
developed in the last twelve months.
Workers Waking Up
1.-THE fact is that hundreds of
thousands are wise to the leaders
of the A. F. of L., and it is merely
question of time when the rank
and file organization will drive out
these takers and will establish rank
and file leadership.
1T is timely to mention that the
A. F. of L. convention, which is
supposed to be our convention,
opened in this city. Who opened
this convention? The militant lead
ers of the longshoremen or the
militant leaders Of the Southern
textile workers, or the militant
leaders of the Northen textile work
ers, of Minneapolis, or any of those
who fought side by side with the
rank and file of strikers, who were
daily on the picket lines? NO!
Your HONORABLE Mayor Rossi
lcrowd boost who is responsible for
the death of two workers during
the General Strike in San Fran
cisco opened the convention as
Green's honored guest.
Boss Representatives
Ninety per cent of the delegates
attending the A. F. of L. conven-
ton are not delegates of the rank
and file: 90 per cent are interna-
tional officials, general vice-presi-
dents of general organizations !.
people who have nothing in COM
mon with the rank and file !.
Who have poisoned conventions
from year to year These people
are speaking in our names because
they keep the constitution of the
organization in their hands through
gangsterism and dictatorial control.
But there is another 10 per cent,
growing year by year. Two years
ago we had no delegates represent
ing the rank and file. A year ago
IN Washington, We had one single
delegate. +. This year we have
10 delegates who will fight for every
single resolution introduced by this
rank and file convention and will
challenge the policies Of the takers
at the top.
Leaders Ignore Struggles
:. The report OF the Executive
Council of the A. F. of l.. is heavy
book, 157 pages. a report of the ac-
tivities of the A. F. of L. for the
last IL months. But there is
not single word in these l57 pages
about the general strike on the
