Thom (Carpenters), said that\nPresident Welsh should have taken\nimmediate steps to counteract the advertisements. The damage is all done\nand the Trades Council is in bad for\nallowing its officers to mix up in old\nparty politics.\nDel. Bartlett (Blacksmiths), said\nthat he was emphatically opposed to\nthe officers drawing the council into\nold party politics.\nDel. Welsh said that the statement\nadvertised as his, was one that was\nmade by him two years ago, and he\nhad neither given his consent, nor\ndid he spesk on the Liberal platform.\nPresident's Duty\nDel. Crawford (Sheet Metal Workers), said that the old parties will\ntwist anything to suit themselves, but\nit should have been the duty of the\npresident to have demanded immediate red/ess. If they had refused to\nmake a public apology previous to\nelection then the president's standing\nin the Liberal party did not amount\nto much. He did not appreciate the\nstand the president took with Gale in\nthe municipal elections, and all this\nkind of thing was doing the labor\nmovement a great deal of harm.\nPresident Welsh should withdraw\nfrom the council because he had been\npanhandled by the Liberals. He was\nmoving in the wrong direction and\nnot contributing to the welfare of the\nmovement The publication of the\npresident's name, he said, was continued, after the executive committee\nthe shops and had been the means of\ncreating more dissention. Pies.\nWelsh should have demanded the\nwithdrawal of his name right away\nif he had no intention of helping the\nLiberals. Labor is thinking along new\nlines these days and objected to Labor\nofficials allowing their names and the\nname of the council to be used to play\nthe game of the- old parties. No doubt\nPres. Welsh was looking forward to\nthe Liberals getting into power, but\nit would not help Labor and the movement suffers. He had not seen or\nheard of the president speaking on\nNeelands' platform in the Provincial\nelection, nor Richardson's in this.\nOpen Shop Label\nDel.

What he thinks a strong\nsense of justice may be a strong sense\nof injustice. Such a person is very\nanxious that every other trade unionist should demand the union la\nbel, shop card or working button of\nhis particular craft, but he is apt to\noverlook the others.\nFor instance, if he is a butcher,\ncigarmaker or garment worker, he\nsees to it that his organization gets\nyour patronage. He lets the hatters, textile workers and carpenters\nlook out for themselves.\nThere is nothing of which the great\nman is more afraid than smallness.\nThe trade unionist-who is worthy of\nthe name, whether he is plate printer, baker or papermaker, will not\ndemand recognition of his trsde-mark\nand neglect that of his brother the\ncooper, iron,stin and steel worker\nor metal polisher.\nWord. Without Works\nWords without works amount to\nnothing, so he will not if s tabocca,\nboot and shoe or glove worker, talk\nof scab gloves, shoes or tobacco,\nwhile he employs non-union musicians, machinists, teamsters or chauffeurs. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nWhat we should desire is that we\nshall sll share alike. If every union\nclerk, electrician and sheet metal\nworker, while advocating his card or\nlabel, would speak s word for the\nWall paper trades, wire weavers snd\nlaundry workers, he would soon learn\nthe true meaning of our movement.\nWrong cannot be righted, but it\nneed not be repeated. If the union\nstreet car employee, stage employee\nor barber, when he made the last\npurchase, forgot the union broom\nmaker, leather worker or stove\nmounter, let him remember them the\nnext time. The man looking sfter\nthe interests of the Allied Printing\nTrades must not forgot the iron\nmoulder, the brewery, flour, cereal\nsnd soft drink worker, the hotel and\nrestaurant employee or the bill poster and biller.\nResult of Co-operation.\nMost of our troubles sre caused\nby standing in onr own light. Wo\nstand in our own light every time we\nfail to co-operate with our brother\ntrades unionists by not patronising\nthe onion label, card and button\nwhenever we spend money. We all\nknow the result of co-operation. We\nknow it to be the only method by\nwhich we can hope to progress.\nEvery successful enterprise of any\nnature has bej-n the result of a large\nnumber of persons usually interested, working for the same purpose.\nLet us resolve to unite and all\nwork for a purpose now, and let\nthat purpose be a greater demand\nfor the union label, card and button\nthan ever before.\nCorrespondence\nWelsh Not Consulted\nDec. 7th, 1921.\nThe Editor:\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nDear Sir:\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDConsiderable publicity\nwas accorded me during the recent\nFederal campaign, which was given\nwithout my consent.\nAlthough advertised to speak at\ntwo meetings I wish to state that I\nwas not consulted, and have not st\nany time given any party permission\nto use my name for political purposes.\nThe following is self explanatory:\n\"Mr. F.

This large group re a.. ruie.l\nits belief that in socializing industry\nthe workers would eventually attain\njustice.\nOf the 779 delegates, 405 were\nMajority Socialists, 260 were Independent Socialists and 114 were Communists.\nThe Majority Socialists had, heretofore, an absolute majority. Nevertheless, the old executive, led by the\nIndependent Socialist, Dissmann, retained o....ce and was merely enlarged\nby other members elected from the\nranks of the Majority Socialists. The\nfact is characteristic. The unity and\ne....ciency of the Metal Workers' Un-\noin is no longer seriously endangered\nowing to the differences of political\nparties.\nTeads to Industrial Union.\nThe German Metal Workers' Union\nis by tendency an industrial union,\nalthough it does not yet'unite all\nmetal workers under its banner.\nThe restrictions of the trade unions\nto wage movements was no longer demanded by any delegates. The conviction was general that the present\neconomic system had to be altered.\nThe executive committee was very\nemphatic on this point.'\nPolitical Consolidation.\n\"The solution of the world crisis,\"\nit states in a resolution, \"is only possible by the establishment of a new;\neconomic system. Only this system!\nis a guarantee for external and in-J\nterns! peace, for the restoration oft\nthe world's economic output, for the\nrestoration of international exchange,\nand for the liberation and welfare of\noppressed snd exploited classes. This\nobject can alone be attained by a\npolitically consolidated and well-organised working class which simultaneously supports itself by securely\ncompact trade onions imbued with the\nspirit of democracy, and which acts\nin its close harmony with the workers\nof all countries organised inside the\nAmsterdam International Federation\nof Trades Unions.\"\nI\t\nBRUTAL CRIME ENDS\nIN MURDER TRIAL\nAmerican Legion Head Charged\nWith Murder\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDTar and\nFeather Party.\nThe state commander of the American Legion in Kansas, Dr. F.

The body of Judge Bantu's\nson was found with 13 bullet holes in\nit outside Great Bend, and two men\nhave already confessed that they\nwere accomplices of Nixon in the act.\nThe murder is alleged to be the result of a quarrel between Nixon and\nBanta over $10,000 which was to have\nbeen paid to the Legion to \"get rid\nof Parsons,\" who was a campaigner\nfor the Non-Partisan League last\nMarch.\nParsons who is now organiser of\nthe World War Veterans, in reciting\nthe attack made upon him and J.

Fists, clubs, revolver butts,\nanything, were used to batter their\nunresisting bodies into insensibility.\nThen from one of the automobiles\nwas brought a boiling pot of tar, and\nbodies were lifted for the last time\nto receive their coat of infamy. The\nleader of the captors stopped and\nkicked one of the bodies until those\nclosest by heard the bones crack.\nThen the captors returned to their\nautomobiles and drove away, leaving\ntheir victims, half dead, stretched out\non the frosty ground.\nI HltL\nMen's Furiiishiiiirs I \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\n(.nth her .sons & Co- |2\n.
