Z, Foster and other members of organized labor criminally arrested by federal author ities in . a raid at Bridgman, Mich., œ s - 10 be <le Pl° re <i that part of the officialdom of the labor movement loses no opportunity to put these workers in the most unfavorable light possible. It is the right of every official and every member of organized labor to disagree with Foster and those who believe as he does. It is also the right of Foster and his followers to disagree with every official and with members of organized labor. With logic lacking to answer the arguments for amalgamation and in dependent political action, no good will is to be aroused for those who differ with Foster and his ideas by attempting to make it appear that Foster and his associates have never done anything constructive for the labor movement, and are a menace to it. . Foster was years ago a member of the I. W. W. He toured Europe in working class fashion. He studied the labor movements of that contin ent and returned to this country con vinced that dual organizations like the I. W. W. were a menace to the welfare of the labor movement. Acting as he believed he left the I. W. W. and became a staunch mem ber of the American Federation of Labor. For a while he was the prize boy with the A. F. of L. officialdom. He was asked to contribute and did contribute articles to the Federation ist, official organ of the American Federation of Labor. . Things went smoothly until it be came apparent that while Foster was an opponent of dual unionism, he be lieved that there should be one union for each industry and that the A. F. of L. should work to bring about this needed change in organization. Then the ardor of officialdom for Foster commenced to cool. That these unions in later years were unable to meet the onslaught of the employers was not the fault of Foster but of those who insisted in the disintegration of a council that had been formed to bring more united action among the packing house un ions. In the big organizing campaign in the steel industry, it was Foster who was intrusted with its leadership by the international union officials, though the campaign did not succeed, it was the strongest move ever put forth by unorganized workers in a trustified industry operating at many points. * Had the money necessary to put on the campaign at all pbints at once been forthcoming, as it was under Al j S T ° P tod AT RAYON'S GARAGE And get that grade of oil for your tractor or car, at prices that you will buy.

SAMSON and RUMELY TRACTORS stood it would be from interested in ternationals, victory would have been achieved. But forced, thru shortage of funds, to put on an intensive campaign at one point, while little or nothing was done at other points it proved a hand icap that could not be. overcome. Men organized at one point would become restless and demand action. Finally this culminated in a premature strike. Premature for the reason that the money was lacking to send suf ficient organizers to all points where steel was manufactured at the same time. . v As the membership of the steel un grew the amount designated for work increased. ions the organization And today an organization campaign is being conducted in the steel indus try by the A. P. of L. with $<0,000.00 left over from the campaign which Foster managed. Could that $70,000.00 have been available at the start of the steel or ganizing campaign led by Foster, it is most probable that it w r ould have culminated in complete success. Foster and those who believe him often assailed for their friendli toward Soviet Russia. It is worthy of notice that conservative United States senators return from Russia w r ith praise and commenda tion for improving conditions in Rus sia. are ness It also should not be passed without consideration that one of the greatest influence against dual unionism in the United States has come from the leaders of the soviets. Radicals who could not be influenced by the con servative A. F. of L. officials have been influenced to stay in the A. F. of L. where they belong by the leaders of the Russian movement. And in this fight against dual \m ionism none has been more active and loyal than Foster. It is the influence of Foster to with the opposition to dual ism by Russian radicals, that as much and more than anything else is to be credited with checking the headway of dualism in the United States. Foster and those arrested with him at Michigan face pealties of from one to ten years in prison under the stone svndicalist law of Michigan. age - They face that penalty not for any thing they were doing to promote their own selfish purpose but for what they conceived to be for the benefit of the workers of the entire nation. Hounded and harried by a govern ment and employers hostile to organ ized labor, it is astounding to see la bor officials joining the wolf pack that would send Foster and the others to the dungeon. It is the right of every worker and official to disagree with Foster, but it is also the duty of every worker and official to defend members of organ ized labor when persecuted by those employers and that government that have attacked and assailed organized labor at every opportunity.
