the Amalgamated Journal, the official
organ of the Amalgamated Associa

fought private schools until it com

"It was organized labor that fought
about the short workday. No union
workman would consider working
from dawn till dark as it was years
ago. We know very little of the bit

for the sanitary conditions we all en

labor.
"In one state last year labor suc

farmers from the provisions of the
workmen's compensation law, repeal

increasing a state constabulary, com
pulsory labor, repealing the miners'
qualification law, and the appointment
as police officers of persons selected
by railroads. Not so bad for one
state.
"These are a few of the man uses
to which dues and assessments are

communist, it would do well for a
few central labor councils and state

persons seeking the destruction of the
labor movement," declares the Spo
kane Labor World in commenting on
the expulsion of William F. Dunne
from the American Federation of La
bor 1923 convention.
"Foster got his in Illinois Dunne
was expelled at Portland. And those
who share the same sentiments, speak
in their behalf and vote to keep them
in the councils of the American labor
movement may expect a like fate."
