SHOPMEN HEAR FROM DELEGATE Report Presented to Meeting Strongly Opposing Efforts to Break Organization Members of Keystone Lodge No. 1070 International Association of Ma chinists at their meeting Wednesdyj night took drastic action against radicalism and I. W. W. boosters- and propagandists. There is to be a well planned fight to eliminate them from Harrisburg and keep them out. Join ing hands with Keystone Lodge mem bers will be members of other shop crafts. A report from the special conference along this line was read from M. T. Foster, business agent of District No. 40. who attended a recent conference at Washington, D. C. The report in part follows: "Facts were presented to show that in some sections members were found to be distributing" I. W. W. literature within the lodge room, and others #ere selling it in lodge rooms. Every known method of creating dissentlon snd disruption was being used, and the time had arrived when the of ficers of our organization are going to see that the Constitution made by our membership is obeyed by our membership.

No member will be allowed to hold membership in the International As sociation of Machinists and also the t. W. W. or any dual organization. T f found to be a member of the I. W. W. Ills membership book in the In ternational Association of Machinists is to be collected at once. It was made plain that the Inter national Association of Machinists is not to become reactionary, but to eliminate the ones who do not appre ciate the most democratic organiza tion within the American Federation of I>abor and who have been using the democracy of this Constitution as n tloor mat while boosting the I.
