The True Story of the San Francisco Situation
It is better for you to hear the details of the San Francisco situation from some one not connected officially with our Brotherhood than it would be for. you to read it from the pen of your paid 'officers and for that reason we publish in toto, the article, "Facts are Facts," which appeared in the June 28th issue of Organized Labor, the official publication of the California State Building Trades Council. Don't fail to read the entire article; also the letters sent by the representatives ot the seceders to the president of the Panama Pacific Exposition Company. These letters are indisputable evidence of the attempt of the seceder and the interest they represent to disturb the present satisfactory arrangement existing be tween the Exposition Company and Organized Labor, and create a labor war on the Pacific coast.-(Editor's Note.)

Of course, we cannot foresee what action our Convention will take on any question that may confro!:~ us but we hazard the opinion that our Brotherhood, after five long years of strenuous battle against the outlaws, during which time it has defeated them in the courts of the .~merican Labor Movement as well as in the courts of LA'vV, where they brought us will not make the mistake of taking any action that will give the Seceders a new le:;tse of life, nor any action that will hold out any hope to them that our Brotherhood will recognize them as an organization in any way in the future. The battle is nearly ended and our Brotherhood should feel proud of its success for our victories mean much for our future welfare as well as for the protection of all bona fide organizations of Labor against any band of disrupters who may arise ,,,ithin their ranks in the future for the purpose of dividing it. 1'\" 0 organization was ever cunfronted with the issue that our Brother hood was confronted with. Some of them, aye, most of them have had to confront secession, but none have ever had to fight through the courts' the issue of one member tying up its funds and keeping them tied up for five years. " Every member in good standing has a property right in the funds of our organization that is quite true, and has a legal right to appeal to the courts if that right is illegaly trespassed on, 'provided he has first appealed to all the courts within our organization. Had "Gieb's" property rights heen" imposed on he would have appealed to the courts of our Brotherhood instead of the courts of Ohio, but merely acting the part of a tool for others in a deep laid plot to disrupt our organization, he started a suit of law based upon information and belief (which anyone can do) in the Court of Com n10n Pleas of Cuyahoga' County, Ohio, which court was over three years" behind in' its docket. Mr. Geib knew full well that he was not subject to the law for starting such a suit, and those he was acting for knew full well they could not be punished for it. They all knew, however, that all our Brotherhood could do was to wait until our day in court came after those three long years had passed hefore we C011ld get at the bottom of it and expose the conspiracy. Tn the meantime they hoped to have accomplished their object which was to disrupt the Brotherhood. \Ve tried several times to have the hearing advanced by the court, and each time the Seceders opposed the advancement, which clearly showed. their hand and object. Delay, delay, delay, was their slogan, and so we had to wait and bear our burden. And all this time circular letters were THE ELECTRICAL WORKER. 1027 going the rounds accusing us of the delay, and our Local Unions were pounding us to have the suits tried. We truthfully explained the facts to them and told them when in the opinion of our lawyers the law suit would be tried, and when that time came, another delay would be occasioned, when some more of our Locals would secede. At last our day came in court and our Brotherhood was victorious, our officers were vindicated, the American Federation of Labor and all of its departments were vindicated in rendering the decisive decisions they did, upholidng our Brotherhood after several long hearings and investigations. We were then brought to the Court of Appeals of Ohio and again we were victorious, that court sustaining the Court of Common Pleas in all of its findings. We were next brought by the Seceders to the Supreme Court of Ohio, where the case now awaits its turn on the docket. The Seceders are telling their followers that the Supreme Court is going to reverse the two Lower Courts' decision. They claim to know positively that both the Court of Common Pleas and the Court of Ap peals erred in their findings. We do not know what the Supreme Court's decision will be, but our confidence in that court is just as strong as it was in the other two courts. We feel sure our Brotherhood will be again victorious when the decision is handed down and when that decision is handed down, it will mean that never again will a Geib or a Reid or a Sullivan or a dozen of them or men of their calibre be able to tie up the funds of our Brotherhood of their own accord or at the behest of others and keep them tied up for one week let along for over five years. That is the principle we are fighting for, it means much to all or ganizations of Labor, for they all have as much to gain by our victory as our Brotherhood. We feel confident our convention will turn down any effort on the part of any delegate or delegates to sacrifice that priflciple on the eve of final success, no matter under what guise they may undertake to do it. We threw our doors open to all seceding Local Unions last January so they could come back to the fold practically free of cost before March 15th, and thereby be eligible to participate in our Boston Convention. and have both voice and vote in the making of laws for the government of our Brotherhood and in the selection of International officers for the following two years. The seceding Local Unions that did not accept of that extremely gell erous proposition have themselves to blame. They have no say, nor no right to say what our laws shall be or who our officers shall be, we do not even suggest to them what they shall ao when they have a convention. We concede that, that is their own busi ness and what is more we do not care what they do in their convention nor what their laws are or who their officers may be. We are not inter ested. They can attend to their own business as they see fit. We will attend to ours. It is a safe prediction that when our Boston Convention ends the will of the majority represented will have prevailed and our Brotherhood will continue to fight the Secessionists until they are forced to come back into the fold. We cannot afford to compromise the principle involved no matter what the Seceders' sympathizers may do or say. 1028 THE ELECTRICAL \YORKER. COL. MULHALL'S For years the leaders of the Labor Movement CONFESSION. have been preaching to the unorganized men and women of Labor the necessity of their joining the Trade Union of their respective crafts, they have pointed out to them re peatedly that the National Manufacturers' Association, representing an aproximate capital of 10,000,000,000 under the guise of being a non-political business and trade organization, was nothing more or less than an insti tution organized for the purpose of disrupting Labor organizations, breaking strikes, and promoting Legislation (State and National), adverse to the in terests of the wage earners of the country. Very little attention was given the organizers of the bona fide Labor movement by the 5,000,000 or more men and women employed by the 4,000 employers which comprise the National Association of Manufactur er$. We have heard it said very often that there were nothing to it, it was merely a canard sent out by the Labor Movement for propaganda purposes, that the members of the Manufactors' Association was not op posed to organized Labor, they did not care whether their employees were Trade Unionists or not, and further that their position on the Labor question was merely one of protection for the non-unionists who desired to work without being compelled to join a trade union. This bunk was handed out by the representatives of the Manufact urers' Association and passed among their employees so often that many of the employees looked upon the organizers of the Labor Movement as a bunch of grafters who were merely looking to get the initiation fees and the monthly dues from them to spend for their own amusement and main tainance. That the Manufacturers' Association, with their well filled purse, the contents of which was used to hamper the progress of the Labor Movement, was successful to a great extent cannot be denied and while the officers of the American Federation of Labor and the various Interna tional Unions were aware of the corrupt tactics used by the Manufacturers' Association through their paid agents, the rank and file of the organized Labor Movement and the public in general might never have known the true facts had .not Col. Martin M. Mulhall who, for ten years was a lob byist, field worker and strike breaker for the National Manufacturers' As sociation, recently made a clean breast of his actions in the interests of that Association, it is an amazing narrative and appeared in part in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Sunday, June 29th, 1913, and is copyrighted by the New York W orId. Col. Mulhall states that the National Manufacturers' Association was solely responsible for the creation of the tariff commission during the administration of President Taft, the object of which being to forestall re vision of the tariff existing at that time. He also gives the names of congressmen, ex-members of Congres", whom he states receiyed financial reward from the aforesaid association for services rendered or for political purposes. The Colonel also states that a person known as Mr. X was intrusted with the task of attempting to bribe President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor for which $40,000 was appropriated by the l'\ ational Manufacturers' Association. This effort was fully exposed by President Gompers at the Norfolk Convention of the American Federation of Labor and substantiated by Vice President James Duncan and several others who were brought on the scene by President Gompers while the effort was being made to bribe him, for the purpose of getting sufficient proof to have the would-be briber arrested and punished as well as exposing the interests he represented. THE ELECTRICAL WORKER. 102~ The Colonel gives the names of Congressmen who were blacklisted by N. M. A. and opposed in their respective districts for re-election because they took the side of organized labor and opposed the tactics of the N. M. A. He further states that Congressman James T. McDermott, Fourth Congressional District of Illinois, an ayowed champion of Labor in the House of Representatives, was in the employ of the lobby of the N. M. A. in Washington. He also states that former Congressmen James E. Watson, John J. Jenkins, Kittredge Haskins, Charles E. Littlefield, Harry M. Bannon, Henry M. Coudry, J. J. Gardner, Ralph D. Cole worked in the interests of the N. M. A. in \Vashington, D. C. The Colonel also gives the names of some of the men placed on the black list of the N. M. A. Among them is Congressman John L. Burnett, Former Congressman Henry L. Maynard, Speaker Champ Clark, Congressman A. Cooper, Former Con gressman Thomas D. Nichols, Herbert Parsons, \V. D. Wilson, now Sec retary of Labor, George D. Pearre, John Killiher, Congressman W. S. Green, Gilbert N. Hangen, former United States Senator Louis E. Mc Comas, United States Senator VVm. Hughes, President Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison of the American Federation of Labor. Col. Mulhall's narrative to the New York \V orld is backed up by more than 20,000 letters, telegrams, reports, telegram expense accounts and corroborative memorandum and he states he is actuated by a two-fold purpose, the first is to render a s€rvice to the public by disclosing the identities and undertakings of the men at the head of this powerful organiza tion in the United States, the second and, to his mind the most important, purpose is to compel reform of the evils revealed by him. He further states he has personal knowledge and accounts to show that during his lobby, political and strike breaking work for the N ati011al Manufacturers' Associa tion he paid out to accomplish the purpose of that association a sum ap proximating $200,000, all of which was supplied him by officials of the Association. The Colonel's story, we are glad to state, is going to be investigated by committees of the House and Senate. Vie believe it will be gone into in detail and all the men mentioned will be forced to tell all they know about it. If it is we are sure it will open the eyes of the fair-minded public to the unlawful and un-American abuses the Labor Movement as repre sented by the American Federation of Labor has been subjected to by this gigantic organization of capital, and the poor oyerworked and underpaid men and women employed by the members of the N. M. A., will assert their freedom and rights and join the organization of their respective crafts under the banner of the American Federation of Labor and compel their employers to give them fair compensation for the work they perform. We have a nice, healthy and fast growing organization, that is suc cessfully overcoming all obstacles pIerced in its way by the Secessionists and their sympathizers, the most skeptical of our delegates to the Boston Convention will be surprised when they compare the general condition of our Brotherhood at the present time, with its general condition at the time the Secession movement occurred. Have you ever thought that without the aid and support of the Central Labor Union and Building Trades Council of your city, ~hat your Local Union would not be enjoying the present condition. Don't be ungrateful and pull away from them now that you are at peace with your employers, and remember you may need their assistance again. 1030 THE ELECTRICAL WURKER. The return tu the Brotherhood of Local Union Xu. " Springfield, 1.1ass.; 211, Atlantic City, X. ]. and the reorganization of the Electrical Workers of Des ~Ioines. Iowa under Local Union No. 51, will bring forth the usual denials from the Seceders that nothing of the kind has occurred and no doubt many "f their followers will faIl for it, but again Facts are Facts . .:\11 delegates should remember that our preseut laws will be our guide from the beginning of our COllYention until the closc, and not come to Boston with the idea that they can side track our present laws to suit their convenience. Are you going to be represented at the Convention of your respective State Federation of Labor. It is your duty to send delegates and help along the good work, the cost will not be much and your Local will be doing its duty. It is the duty of all journeymen to teach their helpers the trade thor oughly, so that they will be competent mechanics when they have served the required time. Remember you were a helper once and appreciated the advice and teachings of the journeyman you worked with. \Vise mcn in a fight know when !hcy are heat and quit. Then they begin immediately to build new fortifications stronger than the previous ones they fought behind. \\Then they are finished they start a new battle and as a general rule they are victorious. The morc delegates there are thc more pleased will be the convention committee of our Boston Local Unions. The convention committee has a program arranged that will prove a surprise to all. Our 'sisters in Boston are preparing to entertain the delegates and their better halves. They ha\"e several surprises in store for us. \Ve got this confidential, so don't tell anyone. . How are you getting along with those amendments to our Constitution. Remember they must he in the possession of the International Secretary . before the Convention. . It is important that the Examining Board of your Local plays no favorites. A square deal is due every applicant and you should see that they get it. Read the statement of the San Francisco Building Trades Council on the San Francisco situation. Yes, Facts are Facts and you cannot get away from them. Ask for the Lnian Label in the summer months as well as in the winter months. You can never get so hot nor so cold that you cannot perform that small duty. Local Unions should send the names and addresses of the delegates elect to the Boston Convention to our 1. S. immediately. Some Local Unions make the mistake of increasing theit wage scale at the sacrifice of their ",.. orking conditions. THE ELECTRICAL WORKER. 1031 187 · .. , ......
