Expelled Member Speaks To Woodworkers’ Local Program adopted at the recent annual convention of the International Woodworkers of America in Vancouver was one of the most progressive and constructive in the union’s history despite the un- fortunate disruptive “redbaiting which tainted the sessions, re- ported Harold Pritchett, presi- -dent of DWA District No. 1, at a regular business meeting of Local 1-217 in Vancouver this week. : { Pritchett’s report was ‘supple- mented by reports of other dele- gates who attended the conven- tion. Reports of delegates to the recent Canadian Congress of La- bor convention in Quebec City were also heard. AGAINST EXPULSION Guest speaker at the meeting was William “Red” Wallace, of IwAé Local 2-46, Bellingham, ene of the ‘victims of the expul- sion proceedings against Com- munists pushed through by President Worth Wowery at the convention. Pritchett reported that of the 42 progressive resolutions which were adopted as the union’s pro- gram, 29 came from Districts No. 1 and 2) the majority of whose delegates were the chief opponents of the redbaiting and | expulsions at the convention.

A CHARTER MEMBER Wallace, who is a charter member and business agent of his local, told the members of the events leading up to the re- cent expulsion proceedings. He deseribed his own work as a foundation member of the union and then went on to tell how President Lowery attempted to haye him expelled from the IWA by the members and officers of Wallace’s own local. Three such attempts were made, he declared, each of which were rejected by the local. In the ease of the first attempt, Lowery’s. order came up before the largest meeting the local had ever held and was then voted down by secret ballot. In clos- ing, Wallace asked the members to support the petition being cir- culated to change the constitu- tion in order to prevent such abuses. IWA Secretary E. “EB. Bene- dict, who arrived at the meeting, was allowed to address the mem- bers by the chairman and de- livered himself of a long red-= baiting tirade which was” fre- quently interrupted by the mem- bers whose disapproval of the speaker’s remarks had to be fin- ally restrained by the chair.
