Its membership is fully capable of deciding this question for itself without any advice from the exploiters of labor.

Answer 'Red Scare' The general membership meeting declares that the leaders of our union have faithfully served the interests of the membership. They have conducted themselves as responsible trade officials and have not imposed on the union any issues, political or otherwise, contrary to the interests of the union and its members. They have shown their efficiency -as organizers in the building of our union. TheyThave demonstrated their loyalty and courage under fire. The "red scare" of the Citizens' Alliance is nothing but a fraudulent maneuver to distract our attention from the struggle for decent living conditions and demoralize our ranks.

They will not succeed. The conditions of our lives are too bitter. Nobody can divert us from the fight to better them. We note with the greatest indignation that D. J.

Tobin, president of our international organization, has associated himself with this diabolical game of the bosses by publishing a slanderous attack on our leadership in the official magazine. The fact that this attack has become part of the "ammunition" of the bosses in their campaign to wreck our union, is enough for any intelligent worker to estimate it for what it really is.
