Of the Committee OF Ten made an
attack on the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union and Com
munists as trouble makers"

Secretary Treasurer Leonard was
introduced to make the leading re-
port, and a great portion of it was
devoted to a vicious attack on the
S. M w. I. U. and reds" Leonard
called for the expulsion of all Com

delegate said. pledged his LOYALTY to
the A. AS international officers.
Father Coughlin was brought for
ward at this district conference as
one who will speak at tomorrows
national convention.
1t is obvious from Leonard's re-
port and from Tighe's vicious at
tack in press statements today on
Communists, that these interna-
tional officials, in their campaign
of explosions now being launched.
are following the old Red scare"
line Of making no distinction be-
tween the organization itself and
international officials. The charges
were made that the Communists
and the Steel and Metal Workers
Industrial Union want to destroy
the A. A." etc Leonard heaped
praises on 'Tighe's fight in Wash
ington" He said propaganda
against Tighe and Leonard is aimed
at preventing workers from or
ganizing into a real fighting union"
He praised Coughlin highly. Bur-
CESS spoke five minutes. Forbeck
in his speech attacked the Steel
and Metal Workers Industrial
Union, the delegate reported, and
declared the Communists are
tricky and will not get hold Of
him.

Intelligent interest in our welfare
Except for recent period OF TWO
wars. when we were represented
nv one of our own group, we nad
no one to speak for us In the

someone happened to recall that
We also were his constituents, ana
when vote-getting was the oruer
