William Green,
President American Federation of
Labor,
San Francisco, California.
Dear Sir and Brother:
We are in receipt of your communi-
cation of recent date relative to the
alleged boring from within tactics OF
Communists and Communistic groups
and in which you urge the elimination
from the ranks of organized labor OF
all these so-called descriptive" ele-
ments. In reply we beg leave to state
that in our opinion the success of the
labor movement depends on the CO.
operation within its ranks of all mem
bers OF the working class regardless
of their political opinions or their ideas
in regard to the relative merits of the
present industrial and economic chaos
commonly called Capitalism as COM
pared with the proposed cooperative
commonwealth envisioned by Social
lists, Communists and others.
1t is our opinion also that should
organized labor initiate such a policy
as you recommend, it would find itself
limited to a very small membership,
entirely inadequate to cope with the
problems confronting it. To us it
seems absurd to carry on a campaign
of organization and then attempt to
eliminate from our ranks those whom
observation reveal as among II most
progressive and militant members. We
remember former "Red Hunts which
resulted disastrously to the American
Labor Movement, causing it to sink
into a condition OF pitiful impotency.
We feel that, according to your stand
ards, most of our most active members
would come under the classification
red. We cannot, therefore, accede
to your request and embark on another
"Red Hunt.
The immediate problem confronting
labor is the shortening Of the work
day sufficiently to place every unem-
ployed worker back on the job and to
increase wages to the point where every

DRIFTS AND RAISES

Council has brought forward a COM
promise. Under his plan, the crafts en-
ployed in an industry, instead Of deal
ing separately with the employer,
would form a council or federation
and deal as a unit.
But like all compromises, this one
falls far short of meeting the situation.
The full strength of the workers would
still not be modified in their struggle
for economic justice. And Of course,
Mr.. Frey completely ignores the real
purpose and objective of industrial
unionism, which is to secure for the
worker the full product OF his toll. Mr..
Freys mind simply does not work that
way.
He prefers to work like he did in
the recent strike of the miners and
sm~elterworkers when he engineered the
Soc agreement with some OF the crafts.
1t made little difference that a major
ity of the Butte crafts rejected Freys
proposal It was the opening wedge
that weakened the strike front. So
long as these craft divisions exist in
a basic industry, they form lines OF
weakness and a man who is expert at
liquidating strikes a always find the
weakest spot.
We cannot forsee what success Mr..
Frey will have with his phony com
promise, but we hope it will be over
whelminly defeated and the A. F. OF
l.. leaders compelled to adopt a real
fighting policy of industrial unionism.

One of the most recent lamentations
emanating from the joss house OF Chief
Medicine Man Bill Green is the dis
mayed exhortation addressed to his
disgruntled, disconnected and thorough
" disillusioned flock urging them to
sanctify themselves and purge them
selves of heresy by extirpating from
their ranks all unorthodoX apostles OF
discomfort, all those who voice a sus-
picion that there is Something rotten
in the State Of Denmark !" all those
who whisper that there may be some
thing better in store for the oppressed
masses than the crushing load Of misery
under which they have bowed their
weary backs all through the ages. Thus
doth history repeat itself. Thus echoes
the cry down through the centuries
from Nero to Mussolini; TO the lions
with the dam christians :" ITO the rack
with the heretics; burn the witches"
and Bill, running true to form, voices
the shallowness Of his petty bourgeois
soul and shouts clean up on the Reds
Well, the Christians withstood the
shock, the heretics survived and flour
ished so Mr. Green might well get
rid of his basket of red herrings and
offer the workers something pronto
that will pull them out Of the slough
of despond'. The struggle will 60 on
till the toiler takes possession OF the
means by which he lives. The work
ers are not to be diverted from their
grim determination to emancipate them
selves by such s~haman-like appeals to
the mob spirit as this recent frothy
harangue. This is quite plainly evid-
enced by the numerous indignant re
quotations which have poured into the
Holy Of Holes" from the mill
tant ranks Of organized labor. Among
these many refusals TO be %stampeded
is the following from Butte Miners

WOLF AND MoNTcAEM

That time dissolves all things as
Aristotle declared many centuries ago,
was illustrated by pleasing ceremony at
Greenwich, England, in which a de-
scendant of the French general, Montcalm.
unveiled a statue of the English general,
Wolfe.
Montcalm and Wolfe were the oppos-
ing commanders in the battle of Quebec on
September 13. 1859, in which both were
killed. But the English under Wolfe were
the victors, and by the surrender of Que
bee, Canada was lost to the French.
Wolfe's victory was the result of one
of the most brilliant and daring pieces of
strategy in the annals of warfare. After
being repulsed in an assault on Quebec
from the front. Wolfe silently descended
the st. Lawrence river in boats at night
and led his army up supposedly sunsur-
mOuntable cliffs in rear of the city. The
next morning he was able to attack the
unprotected rear of the French position.
He was greatly outnumbered by the
enemy, SO ordered his men to. withhold
their fire until within 80 yards of the
French. Then with crushing volleys, fol-
lowed by determined bayonet charge, he
won his famous victory, If 9naf 5sa;s,<
Leading the final charge in person,
Wolfe was wounded twice, but pressed on
until third shot pierced his breast. While
in the throes of mortal agony he was In

He directed that regiment he dispatched
to cut off their retreat and said: Nov
God be praised, will die in peace"
Montcalm, equally brave and deter
mined, received mortal wound about the
same time.

AUTHOR OF DIXIE,

Whenever the stirring tune of Dixie
is played, particularly in the South, it is
met with hearty applause. Thus do South
erners pay tribute, unconscieusly as rule,
to an Ohio Yankee.
For "Dixie" was composed by Daniel
Decatur Emmett, born in Mount. Vernon,
Ohio, in 1918. Emmett, like that other
writer of Southern songs, Stephen Foster,
never lived in the South.
Emmett was one of the organizers of
the first negro minstrel company to tour
the country, formed in 1912, when it
opened in Chatham Square Theater, New
York. He was afterward associated with
Dan Bryant, and in 1865 he formed his
own company. He retired in 1873 and
died in 1904 at the age of 80. 80
The song Dixie" was written IN
1859 and instantly became popular, The
South adopted it and now after rs years it
stirs its hearers with undiminished en-
thusiasm.
In 1927 a tablet to Emmet's memory
was unveiled in the churchyard of the
Calvary Episcopal Church at Fletcher, NJ
c., the first memorial erected to him in the
South, marking another link in the chain
which binds the reunited country.

Pressure is low this morning
over New England and relatively
low in the upper Missouri val
ley; while high pressure areas
crested over the Lake Superior
region, middle Mississippi valley,
and plateau region, cover the re-
mainder of the country. Snow
has occurred during the last "a
hours from northern Michigan and
the lower Lake region eastward
over northern New England, and
there has been rain in Tennessee,
Arkansas, southern Texas, and on
the north Pacific coast. There
has been a decided fall in tempera-
ture throughout most of the lake
region, and southwark into Ar
kansas. Tennessee and northern
Georgia, with readings below zero
in northern Michigan and colder
weather also prevails in the middle
Atlantic states and Texas; while
temperatures have risen in the

far-reaching are the effects upon employ

This fact was strikingly illustrated in
a recent article on the washing machine in
dustry, which incidentally showed an in
crease in employment and production over
the previous year for eight consecutive
months during 1888, the increase in No
vember being IA per cent.
Raw materials for these machines,
with their accompanying motors, wringers
and other parts, have come from no less
than 90 states and several foreign coun-
tries. Among the 100 or more materials
involved in their manufacture are steel,
hardwood, rubber, sulphur. zinc oxide,
clay, limestone, pigskin, flaxseeds and 50
on. The same principle holds good. of
course, in the manufacture of many other
articles of household equipment.
Thus the American housewife. through
the purchase of washers and other labor
saving devices, not only relieves herself of
much of the drudgery of the past, but con-
tributes greatly to the relief of unemploy-
ment in many lines.
