ments. The American Federation
OF Labor must authorize such a
policy"
However, with the workers or
ganized into industrial unions
under the banner of the ALL and
with its disqualification poll
cy, with company men appointed
as leaders and officials, the lum-
Der workers are hog-tied and will
be more victimized than ever be-
fore.
The lumber workers must an
alize thoroughly the statements
of these takers that have past
records of nothing but betrayals
of the workers for the operators
interests.
The driving back to work of
their membership in the Long
view mills, when 1900 mill work
ers struck in sympathy with the
LongshOremen, is enough to put
all lumber workers on their
guard.
Degenerate IWW Close Sup
porter of Operators
Following close on the heels of
the AFL bureaucracy is the de.
generate leadership and pie card
artists of the lWNN. These leech-
es that haven't the stamina to
fight the boss and their oppOsi-
ton, are now carrying on a SIAN
derOus campaign and distortion
OF the program of the NLWU
and are raising the Red Scare"
in the same way the lumber Oper-
atOrs and their agents do.
In their official Bulletin issued
in July a slanderous statement
was run as follows: The Nation
al Lumber Workers Union, a by
product of the Communist Party,
represents itself as rank and
file union, but is in reality under
the domination and control of the
Party. This outfit has caused
confusion in the minds of some
workers, as their organizers have
been known to represent them
selves as the IWW under a differ
ent name, thereby securing men,
bers under false pretenses."
The NLWU checking up, find
the opposite has occurred. In.
Port Angeles lumber workers
that haven't any knowledge of
what the TWW really is have
been misled into the IWW by
just such tactics of which the
NLWU organizers are accused.
The NLWU is controlled by the
rank and file and is proud to
state that some of the most act
i've and militant members of the
NLWU are members of the Com
munist Party. The program of
the NLWU does not bar anyone
from membership because of his
political opinions, and these
IWW degenerates can not join
and disrupt the NLWU as long
as Communists are in it as they
would be exposed the same as
other boss agents.
With conditions for the lumber
workers getting steadily worse,
it is the utmost desire of the
NLWU to expose the maneuvers
on the part of the operators and
their agents in keeping the lum-
Der workers divided so the pro-
fits can be increased without any
interference. The NLWU emphat-
ically appeals to all lumber
workers to Immediately start
organizing for the coming strug-
giles. Rank and file members of
the AFL, Al and IWW, GUST the
boss agents from your ranks and
take control of your union for a
united front struggle for the right
to live.

AL ADVOCATES INDUSTRIAL
UNIONS TO DEFEAT
WORKERS

SEATTLE, Sept. 2O-The Lum-
Der Code Authority has turned
over the Administration of the
Lumber Code into the hands OF
the larger lumber operators.
This vancouver gives these greedy
parasites full reign and with gov
eminent sanction to dispose of
the code as they see fit to in
crease their profits.
The small lumber operator
can no longer compete with the
larger operators and are now
banding together to defy the
Lumber Code. The WestcOast
Lumber Mems Assn states they
will crack down" on anyone viO-
lating the sacred price that has
been enforced. Thus, resulting in
warfare between the little oper-
ators and the mOnopolists of the
lumber industry for a life and
death struggle.
With this condition existing
among the lumber operators.
makes a very favorable situation
for the lumber workers to take
advantage and start immediate
organization to force these Oper-
ators to grant higher wages and
abolish the speed-up.
Although we are not bewail-
ing the fate of the small mill
owners, but when we have the
enemy fighting among them
selves, gives the lumber workers
ain opportunity to hit them while
the iron is hot.
Operators Agents Come to Aid
The most ardent supporters of
the lumber operators are work
ing night and day trying to hyp-
notize the lumber workers into
the AFL unions. In the past two
years since the ALL has serious
ly started playing the protector
of the lumber operators profits
by organizing the Sawmill and
Timber Workers Union, the be-
trayers of the klamath Falls
Strike, sitting the lOggers in the
Weyerhauser camps out of Long
view from striking for better
conditions, has lost considerable
respect and won the distrust of
the lumber workers.
In order to continue to play
the role for the operators, other
tactics are being devised.
The lumber workers as a whole
have in the past had some train
ing of the Importance of indust-
rial unions. The AFL wishes to
take advantage of this sentiment
and to further delude and to
keep the lumber workers away
from the National Lumber Work
ers Union. They are advocating
industrial unions for the work
ers.
John L. Lewis, the labor bur-
eaucrat who has since the NRA
has been in effect, betrayed every
strike of the miners in the in
terests of the coal operators,
makes the following demagOgic
statement: "The time has come
when the employees in mass in
dustries must be permitted and
encouraged to organize them
selves into industrial unions.

PASSENGER ON
PASSING ship
BROUGHT HERE
MRS. LOUISE W. KoNE CAME
ASHORE TO HURRY TO
HOME IN ARKANSAS OWING
TO ILLNESS OF MOTHER

Mrs. Louise w. Kone, a pas
senger on the Steamer West Hika,
of the Waterman S. S.Mine, was
brought from the ship this morn
ing to Key West by the Porter
Dock company's Tug Petrol with
Captain Clarence Thompson in
command.
Mrs. Kone boarded the vessel
at Havre, France, and was en-
route to Mobile, Ala. Receiving q
radio message advising of the Sc
rious illness of her mother at the
home in Little Rock, Arkansas,
she decided to come ashore.
A message was sent to the Por-
ter Dock company and Manager
Charles Taylor sent the Petrol
out to the West Hika for the pas
senger. Arriving at the dock,
Mrs. Kone went at once to the
Hotel Colonial to rest until this
afternoon when she will leave
over the East Coast for home.
The Tug Petrol had to make a
long trip, about IL miles from the
Sea Buoy, or about 20 miles at
sea, to reach the steamer which is
disabled, having lost the rudder.
Mrs. Kone told The Citizen the
mishap occurred when the West
Hika was off the Azores Islands
and for two days the Steamer City
Of Omaha tried to get close enough
to render assistance but was pre-
vented by tempestuous seas.
At last lines were gotten on
board the West Hika, and the
voyage TO the United States re-
sumed with the City of Omaha
acting as the rudder for the dis
abled vessel which proceeded UNI
der her own steam.
Mrs. Kone was advised that by
coming to Key West and taking a
train to Little Rock, she viii be
home before the West Hika reach
ed Mobile, as the progress of the
vessel is exceedingly slow due to
the difficulties under which it is
proceeding to the destination.
