RESULT OF JOHN L. LEWIS’ MISCHIEF
At Venice, Illinois, the other day, a pitched battle
was fought between members of the A. F. of L. Laborers’
Union and a newly organized CIO Local of United Con
struction Workers. There is literally no excuse for such
disgraceful spectacles of union men fighting each other
with an intensity which should be reserved exclusively
for Malevolent foes of Labor organization.
The fault lies strictly with the CiO, or to make the
guilt personal, with John L. Lewis who maliciously is try
ing to muscle in on one of the oldest and most strongly
organized group of workers in this nation, the A. F. of L.
Building and Construction Trades. 'This disintegrating
example of dualism should give pause to every thought
ful union member, particularly those affiliated with the
CIO.
There are plenty of fields in this nation crying for
organization along the industrial lines championed by
John L. Lewis; and the wanton attempt to disorganize the
Organized Tradesmen in the construction lines is pure,
unadulterated sabotage, the very antithesis of the genu
ine union ideology, bowing cockles and brambles in fer
tile fields of union endeavor will not give aid or comfort
to Labor, but its inveterate enemies.
We believe the time has come for other intelligently
led National and International Unions now within the
folds of the CIO to imitate the wise decision of the Inter
national Ladies’ Garment Workers’ union and return back
to the parent organization, the American Federation of
Labor. John L. Lewis has forfeited his right to lead an
important body of Labor by his inability to place duty to
the Labor Movement, which has treated him so royally,
above personal spite and childish antipathies.—St. Louis

JOHN FREY HITS REDS AS FIFTH
COLUMNISTS — MOST DANGEROUS
OF ALL FIFTH COLUMNIST, HE SAYS
Bt JOHN P. FBEY
Prfaidcnt, A. P. L. M'Ul Trmdo D»p»rt»nt
The most dangerous o£ all Fifth
Columns in our country, is the one
controlled and directed by Moscow.
Since Lenin conceived his scheme for
world-wide revolution, American Com
munists directed and controlled from
Moscow, have labored strenuously and
ceaselessly to infiltrate into our trade
union movement. The immediate men
ace to our nation and its institutions
comes principally from this Commun
ist Fifth Column, a Fifth Column
which found no followers in the ranks)
of organized labor until it was able
to capture a controlling position with
in the C. 1. O.
As citizens we must be on constant
guard against Fifth Column activi
ties within our country. As trade
unionists we must be particularly on
guard against the Communist Fifth
Columns, working to infiltrate into
our unions, for their directors are
cruel, cunning, treacherous and with
out conscience. The Communist who
secures membership in our local
unions is not interested in trade
union problems and policy. His sole
interest is in shaping the policy of
the local union, and in some instances
the national union, in adopting poli
cies and carrying on activities which
will be in line with the purpose of the
Russian controlled Communist move
ment in the United States.
In view of the national emergency
which has been created because of the
onslaught of Germany upon the free
peoples of Europe, we must be on
guard night and day so that no rep
resentative of a foreign country will
be permitted to in any manner in
fluence trade union policy in the
United States.
Trade union policy, Communist and
dictator policy, are as far apart as
justice and injustice, honesty and dis
honesty, patriotism and treachery.
There is no place in our American
institutions for the Communist, or Us
policies, his so-called ideologies, or
his tactics. Our watchword must be,
“Out with the Communists and dic
tators, and up with the banner of
American trade unionism!"

To dream of seeing and hearing a

Nothing to do but work, nothing to eat but food
Nothing to wear but elothes to keep from going nude,
Nothing to breathe but air quick as a flash ’tis gone;
Nowhere to fall but off, nowhere to stand but on.
Nothing to sing but songs, ah, well, alas! alack!
Nowhere to go but out, nowhere to come but back.
Nothing to see but sights, nothing to quench but thirst,
Nothing to wave but what we’ve got; thus through

Nothing at all but common sense can ever withstand
