the workers split by barring out the
militant Industrial Union from
amalgamation. Other resolutions
were sent for burial to the general
executive board.
The most elementary rights Of the
members were wiped out with the
stroke Of a pen by this reactionary
convention as it moved in the direca
ton of fascination Of the unions.
Yearly elections in the local unions
provided for in the constitution
since the union came into existence
was abolished. In addition, the
machine carried through a RESIDUE
ton giving the general executive
board authority to supervise all
elections to prevent any rank and
file worker who in any way disc
agrees with the dominating chqu5
from finding his way into any OF
the leading bodies. They also dee
feated every proposal for referens
dunn vote on officers. Rank and
file representation on the leading
bodies of the union was also de-
feated.
The class struggle preamble was
rejected on the ground that 1t would
antagonize the courts. The policy
Of expulsion and discrimination
were reaffirmed by upholding the
decision of the administration in
eliminating the left wing leadership
from Local 9. All amendments 10
the constitution, giving more con-
troll and power to the rank and file
went down to defeat.
Donate to Counter Revolution
The black counter-revolutionary
character of the convention was
shown when it donated $500 to the
ter-revolutionists in the Soviet
Union; additional funds to the
counter Revolutionary press, while at
the same time refusing to act on a
resolution of greeting to the So
Wet government for establishing an
autonomous republic in Biro-Biian.
The same cowardly action was
taken with regard to the resolution
for the release of Thaelmann.
To sum UP this whole convention,
whose decisions were crammed into
not more than three days out of
the two weeks, it was nothing but a
rubber stamp for the class collab-
grafton policies Of the ruling bu-
reaucracy, a good time for their
supporters, and an occasion to hand
out honors to loyal hangers on, Zim-
norman among them, by electing
them to the general executive board
whose number was increased to %.
The bureaucracy attached itself to
the chariot of Roosevelt's New Deal
and gave its unequivocal endorse
ment to the strikebreaking ~ r. A.
The protest sent by the rank and
file committee of the Amalgamated
Association Of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers to the convention asking
this labor convention controlled by
the Socialist Party bureaucrats to
re j ect Johnson's strikebreaking
speech. was suppressed and was not
even known to the delegates.

Sidelights on the l.L.G.W.U.
Convention Held in Chicago

thousands Of workers in the trade.
Throughout the entire first week Of
the convention the Negro delegates
we're Disseminated against in the
most shameful way. While on the
floor Of the convention the bureau
Gratis made high sounding conde-
scending speeches with regard TO the
Negro workers, it was through the
pressure of left wing delegates that
they we're forced to take stand
and to move the convention from
the aristocratic Medina Hall.
Use Steam Roller
After ten days of merrymaking,
Of beer parties, banquets, of throw
ing bouquets at each other, the
ILG.W.U. convention finally got
down to business and the steam
roller began to work at full speed.
The left wing delegate, Esther
Schweitzer, being the spokesman at
this convention for the tens Of
thousands of rank and file workers,
presented a series Of resolutions
dealing with the policies and tactics
of the union. These resolutions as
well as an analysis of the N.R.A.,
the conditions in the trade, the
problems and tasks confronting the
workers we're embodied in a dec
laration sent with the left wing
delegation elected at the recent ma
tionaI conference. When this dele
CATION was denied the floor, the
declaration was distributed among
the delegates at the convention.
Most of the resolutions dealing
with the real problems of the work
ers, were killed in the committee
rooms and never even saw the light
of day. Instead, the committee re-
ported its own resolutions, which in
many instances were complete
evaSions of the real problems raised
and in other instances open def
ance of the will of the membership.
With the steam roller at work hard
ly any discussion was permitted on
these questions. The delegates we're
hardly aware of the content of the
resolutions before they we're de-
clared accepted by the chairman.
Those few resolutions that came up
for discussion met with the same
fate.
After a half hearted discussion on
week work, the question was left to
the respective joint boards. When
we consider who is in control of
these joint boards we can readily
see that week work will be taken up
only by a determined struggle of the
rank and file under the leadership
Of the left wing.
The resolutions to strike for the
enforcement of the agreement, to
fight the bosses wage cutting
schemes we're similarly treated.
Despite the mass unemployment
that prevails in the ladies' garment
industry, the resolution endorsing
the Unemployment Insurance Bill
H. R. 1898, was rejected.
Instead the Convention lined up
with all the reactionary forces in
endorsing the Wagner Costigan Bill,
which throws the burden of the
unemployed on the shoulders of the
employed workers.
Bar Militants from Amalgamation
The resolution for the amalgama-
ton Of the needle trades unions was
modified by excluding the Indus
trial Union. Thus these bureau

unionism have openly shown their
intentions of keeping the ranks of

BRINGING EN- BACK-BUT NOT
ALIVE

IN 1918 and 1919, the 339th In
l fantry and the 310th Engineers
invaded Russia to fight the Boil
shevikS. They did not stay long.
When the boys got wise to what it
was all about. they refused to fight
and forced their commanders to
bring them home. This is official
history but gets very little recog-
milton because American doughboys
are not supposed to do such things.
An expedition is now in Moscow and
will leave late this month to scour
the forest region Of South Arch
angel for the graves Of 81 of the
American soldiers who lost their
lives in this Inflated campaign.
The bodies will be brought back to
the United States. At the recent
Rank and File Convention In Wash
ington there was an original mem
Der of this group who saw action in
the Valleys of the Dvina and Vaga.
This regiment was Familiarity known
as the polar bear" regiment. When
I asked him what he thought of the
whole business, he told me that the
Bolsheviks have taught him and
many more of his comrades that
there was only one enemy worth
fighting-that is the capitalist sys-
tenn. No wonder the officers capt.
ulated to the demands of the men
to be shipped home. If they hadn't
the 339th Infantry would have been
liquidated and perhaps, by this time,
would be bearing the title Of shock
brigaders."
