BRIDGES CONNECTION
WITH THE WATER
FRONT WORKER

THERE is sharp disagreement
u between the presiding in
spector and the board of appeals
as to whether or not Bridges
connection with the Waterfront
Worker shows affiliation with
an organization prescribed by
the statute. Judge Sears holds
that it does; the board, con-
WINGED that "the aliens testi-
mony on the matter is consistent
and truthful" finds that at the
time Bridges was connected with
the paper it was not an organ
of the Marine Workers Indus
trial Union or of the Communist
party.
The Worker was mimeo-
graphed sheet published in San
Francisco from December, 1882,
until 1886. II was first issued by
the Marine Workers Industrial
Union, identified as an affiliate
of the Communist party. Bridges
with a group of longshoremen
was active in the publication OF
the paper. At the 1889 hearing
little was made of this fact, and
no copies of the paper were
introduced in evidence. At that
hearing Bridges testified that he
became connected with the
paper in September or October,
1882, maybe a month or two
after il had been running.
Thirteen copies of the paper
were introduced at the second
caring. the first, dated
February, 1888. being numbered
Volume /. No. 2" The same
number refers 10 the first
issue and to the December
issue" Judge Sears concludes
that the first issue under
Bridges sponsorship was that
for December, 1882, giving
reasons which seem TO me per-
suasive. He notes that of the
issues OF the paper in evidence,
four of the five published prior
10 Sept. Is. 1888. acknowledge
the assistance OF the MWIU,
and that the alien. in the 1941
hearing. stated that his group
had not taken IL over till Sep
tember, 1893 contradicting what
he had previously said. appar-
emily to disassociate himself
from any connection with the
MWIU. Judge Sears concludes
that there was no change In the
sponsorship of the paper in Sep
TENDER. 1888, and that Bridges
and his group were responsible
for its publication from 1882 TO
1886. Judge Sears finds during
that time no substantial change
in the papers policy.
Bridges admitted that the adj
dress, $50 Market street. was
the first used by his group; yet
n was used only before July.
1888. Judge Sears further con-

alone no reason, except perhaps
the last, is conclusive; but they
are cumulative, and taken to-
gether, make out strong case.
THE presiding Inspector ac-
l. cordingly concluded that
Bridges connection with The
Waterfront Worker showed his
utilization with the Communist
party.
This link, Judge Sears held,
was supported by further evil
dence Bridges was chairman OF
the strike committee of the In
ternational Longshoremen's AS
ISOLATION in the 1884 strike. He
worked with Harry Jackson, an
admitted Communist, in getting
the Marine Workers Industrial
Union "a Communist union) to
join the strike and induced sea-
men to join the latter union.
Bridges opposed the adoption
of a resolution by the Central
Labor Council and by his own
union regulating Communist
organizations; and before the
resolution was adopted, notified
Sam Darcy, district organizer of
the Communist party, that the
resolution was being contem-
plated. He approved acceptance
of the services of the Western
Worker, the Communist party
newspaper, to help the strike by
publishing daily strike bulletin
free of charge.
This cooperation was refer
red to by William Z. Foster in
his book From Bryan TO
Stain"
Harry Bridges" Mr.. Foster
wrote. was elected chairman Of
the lila strike committee, and
The Western Worker, local Com
munist organ, was endorsed as
the official strike Journal"
William F. Dunno, in a PAM
phlet describing the strike, said:
The leadership passed into the
hands of a Ieft-wing group,
working in fraternal co-opera-
ton with the MWIU, headed by
Harry Bridges"
Judge Sears concludes that
these associations and transac-
tons were further evidence Of
the aliens affiliation with the
Communist Party. l think this
conclusion is not unWarranted.

cludes that the paper during
Bridges sponsorship was under
the control of MWIU and the
Communist party. because ID
of the acknowledged co-opera-
ton with the MWlU at first,
and later the favorable treat
ment of MWIU and TUUL and
other Communist sponsored or
CARNATIONS; (2) consistent at
tacks upon reactionary leaders
of the AFL; t3) support of Com
munist candidates for political
office; (4 advice to read Com
munist literature; and go the
use of addresses of Communists
or Communist organizations.
THE board treats Bridges
l. changed testimony at the
two hearings as normal incon-
sistency, the first testimony
being merely a slip OF the
tongue as TO the year; and con-
cludes that the hiatus in pub
LEGATION referred 10 by him at
the first hearing had actually
occurred in 1888, when in the
August issue the paper was
dated by the day of publication
aug. Is. 1882 instead of by
mere reference to the month, as
previously.
The paper had changed from
monthly to semi-monthly
basis in July, yet full month
elapsed between August IS and
September 10. This and certain
evidence of changed editorial
policy in the paper pointed out
by the board is not highly per-
suasive. The main consideration
is the aliens veracity. Judge
Sears heard him testify at the
second hearing, and was not inn
pressed. The board did not have
that advantage, and merely
passed on the written record. L
accept Judge Sears finding on
this point.
The board having found that
Bridges did not become con-
nected with the Waterfront
Worker" until after Sept. Is,
1888, considers the nature Of the
paper only after that date. But
having agreed with Judge Sears
finding that Bridges had been
connected with the paper since
December. 1882, 1 concur also
with his finding that the paper
was Communist dominated since
that date.
No single reason given by
Judge Sears conclusively estab-
fishes this: that the paper at
tackled ALL leaders; that it
supported Communists for politi-
cal office bridges said he would
not decline TO support people
with respect 10 matters on which
he was in agreement with them
solely because they were Com
munists): because ii advised
reading Communist literature
bridges claimed such literature
alone printed the truth on labor
matters); finally. because of the
Use of Communist addresses by
the paper. though 10 my mind
this latter reason is the most
convincing of all.

all forms of athletic endeavor
by the partial sports poo-bahs of
Columbus. All loyal Newark
fans do not need to be reminded
of the run around handed us by
the Capital City cage bigwigs.
Those officials are now | pre-
sumo engaged in the honest bus
mess of selling pencils on the
nearest corner.
Nevertheless allow me to point
out specific instances of unfair
decisions by the Columbus
Gang" Our local American Le-
gion has annually sent a repre-
sentative to the District Tour
nament only to be defeated be-
fore leaving here. The district
offices are of course in Colum-
bus. The place, time, officials,
etc. are set by and for the con-
venience of the Columbus entry.
The diamond usually resembles
a cross between a forest and the
city dump. The umpires are also
related to someone on the team
and SO on.
However the Piece de -Resti-
ance came two years ago. By
some fauxpas Newark was nam
ed district headquarters. The
games were played at White
field and everything was fine.
The only suspicious note was the
failure of a Columbus entry to
show. The tourney advanced to
the final stages with still no
arrival. Finally the game was
forfeited to the other club.
However Columbus came through
according to form and protested
on very questionable grounds.
The Protest Board met to no
where and after a gala evening
affair awarded the protest to
Columbus. By this master stroke
of genius, Columbus won the
tournament without playing
single game. Later they won
the state title on similar tao
tics.
By the time this is printed all
tournament details will have
been completed and we shall pre-
pare for another "gyping" Be-
fore concluding | earnestly urge
that everyone interested in base
ball to come out to Whites and
support our league. Your at
tendance will be greatly appre-
ciated. AS the admission is
free, let's fill up the stands and
give the boys a break.
AS a final broadside to our
Columbus colleagues, | wish to
state that they need have no fear
of an invasion by any foreign
power, as the District Tourna-
ment would not sanction it.
