THE BEEFER ‘There's one in every local; You know the type we mean— He's the guy who's always beefing, But at a meeting he is never seen. He's always causing trouble, And has a lot to say; But it’s never in a meeting— From them he stays away. He puts the brothers on the pan; They never do what's right; But when we hold a meeting This bird is not in sight. He's forever spreading rumours, ‘With him we must contend, But when we have a meeting, We think he should attend. Now the brother has a right to talk, It’s only just and fair; But the place is at a meeting— Why in hell is he not there?

From page 8 Pritchett got to the point where he could mot enter the United States, he resigned and a Mr, Orton became your president. He appeared at the Atlantic City Convention of the CIO. Your union was behind in its per capita and owed bills everywhere. The | j, Party didn’t care about that as long as they could use the organization. At ; Convention I first met Worth so|Our reply added one word to that. HAYWOOD Party slogan that "Germer must go”. We would agree to it reading "Ger- mer must NOT go”. Freedom Won ~ Later a committee of Joggers came to Washington, one of the committee being Al Hartung, your present vice- president and others. The union was getting in desperate shape with the Party's conniving and scheming, Some- thing had to be done. We found that they set up the structure so that small memberships could dominate your con- vention, We demanded that at the next con- vention this be changed. Orton re- sisted, but later this was adopted. Your convention took care of the rest. You started on the road to bring the union back to the workers and away from the Communist Party. bs day your union has met every obliga- tion. It has had tough sledding many times. May I say here and now that your present -president, Fadling, and officers saw to it that every obligation to the Southern Drive, when it was on a voluntary basis was met. Bridges and Bryson never paid-a dime. In this connection, may I say to you that the Southern Drive still goes on and must go on. Men have died for the unions in the South as they have elsewhere. Organizers are getting slugged, but we must go on. Since those days your Union has made tremendous progress both here and in Canada, and brought greater security to the members and to the organization itself. In the latest agree- ment, you entered the field of human security. This is a revolutionary step. The CIO will be blessed for leading this field.
