A SPLITTING BLOW More union organization work is under way today than for year, It is headed up by 12 of the most aggressive and progressive unions in the American Federation of Labor. It is presenting a serious chalin the steel, auto and other great basic induslenge to tries for perhaps the first time in history. Now is the time for every labor man worthy of the name to rally behind this great campaign for a unionized America. And yet Meeting behind closed doors in Washington, a little group of wilful men, speaking in the name of labor, have perpetrated a foul conspiracy against labor. After a farcical trial," in which without any legal authority they constituted themselves judge, jury and prosecutors, these men have declared the 12 unions of the Committee for Industrial Organization guilty." They have sentenced them to suspension from the A. F. of L. because these unions actually set about the work of large-scal- e anti-unionis- m New-hou- unionization. At a time when labor unity and solidarity are needed as never before, executive council members have gone crazy with spite. They have chosen to split the labor movement in half, in an effort to stop others from doing the organization work which they themselves have failed to do. But fortunately they have not the power for harm which they imagine. Nor have they had the last word. Union organization has already gained too strong a hold in the industries, thanks to the C. I. 0., for them to stop it. And the last word rests with the working people of America. From the ranks of their own unions, a wave of indignation is al ready rising th$t will eventually engulf false leaders who seek to split labor when it most needs solidarity. U. N. S. D.

In all the years of our affiliation with the trade union movement we never have, until last Saturday, when the elected head of the Utah State Federation of Labor, a organization, took the platform in the Democratic party convention, and in the name of the organization he represents, seconded the nomination of a partisan candidate for governor. Many members of organized labor object to this. They would not voice their disapproval if he had done it as an individual, but they have reason for objection when he ti did it in the name of the san organization he represents, The trade union movement is made up of members belonging to different political faiths, and of supporters of different candidates in the several parties, therefore it is out of place in the name of these, for their elected leader to become a partisan for only one candidate. non-partis- an non-partis- an non-partis- an non-par- Success Story g contrast to the of General Gomez over torlike Venezuela, Thomas Masaryk has been the national leader of Czecho- Slovakia since it has formed a new state after the World war. . . .
