lshlng enemies" the Illinois an
leaders in the current election
to chain the membership of t
parties.
In this attempt, the A. F. Of L.
leaders join with the ruling class
in an attack on the Communists
in the trade unions. Green's anti
working class letter, which demands
the expulsion of Communists from
the trade unions, has been en-
dorsed by the leaders of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor. A large
number Of delegates to the Chi
cago Federation of Labor bitterly
opposed John Fitzpatrick's (member
Of the Democratic Party motion to
expel Communists from the trade
unions. For more than two hours
militant delegates fought against
the adoption OF this anti-working
class motion which joins the Chi
cago Tribune" and New Deal" in
the drive upon the militant sections
Of the working class.
The local unions of the A. F. of
L. in Chicago, as well as the locals
of the P. M. A. in the coal fields,
are rejecting the anti-C Communist
drive in the local unions and are

tant workers. The Communist Party
calls upon the members and locals
of the A. F. of L. and P. M. A. to
repudiate and reject the program
of the bureaucracy which serves the
best interests of the bosses and
unite their ranks to defeat 1t and
rally around the program of the
