Show OTHER UNIONS REJECT RADICALISM. Without directly referring to the action of the Utah Federation, the mmJ Salt Lake Tribune makes a timely criticism by way of comparison when it refers to what other labor uganizations have done in rejecting! radicalism. The Tribune s?ys: The United Mine Workers in their Cleveland meeting took cm- ' phatic stand against radicalism, reaffirming their determined opposition to Bolshevism, sovietism, the I. W. W. and kindred organizations and propagandas. Another labor union gathering in Detroit denounced the "One Big Union" movement as unpatriotic, unpatriot-ic, un-Amencan and dangerous. The American Federation of Labor has gone on record as unalterably un-alterably opposed to these radical activities. Here and there a ' group of men claiming to speak for organized labor have em- f I braced the imported theories and declared for soviet rule and 1 the reign of the proletariat. ' The heart of union labor is sound. It occasionally is misrep- 1 resented by its own membership in isolated instances. The three tailors of Tooley street speak ng as the people of England have y their counterparts these days u small groups undertaking to ; commit organized labor to the principles of social disorganization.
