BLAME CLOAK SHOP OWNERS

New York-A group of political scien-
fists. including number of professors
of Columbia University, have placed the
entire blame for the lockout of 10000
garment workers on the shoulders of
the employers. The workers are mem
bers of the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers Union. The report states
that the manufacturers were prompted
by a wish to break the union at time
advantageous to them, and the investi-
gators term such action little less than
a public calamity
After reviewing the history of this
lockout, the report continues:
From these facts, which are now un-
disputed, our conclusion, after careful
consideration, is that the Manufacturers
Protective Association broke its two
year agreement, which had still more
than year to run, without other justifi-
cation than the fear that the agreement
might hereafter be broken by the union
at a time less favorable to the manufac-
turers' interest The basis for this fear
that the union was planning to strike at
a less favorable time is hard to dis
cover"
In an editorial comment on this re-
port, the New York World says: mo
sterner indictment of an employing body
was ever made
The manufacturers are attempting to
break the workers ranks by attacking
trade union officials, who are charged
with being responsible for present con-
ditions. AT mass meeting of strikers,
the following resolution was adopted in
reply to a letter being mailed by en-
ployers to their workers.
I'VE regret the crocodile tears our
bosses are shedding over Our bitter cir
cumstances, and we are very thankful
for their promises which they have
found necessary in their last literary
announcement to their dear unemployed
workers. Under their sheepskins beat
wolves hearts, fact well known to
workers from their bitter experiences
of many years. We believe our cond-
ton can be bettered only through our
own efforts, through unity in Our mighty
organization.
with full confidence we hurl back the
accusations against our organization and
against the men at the head of the or
ganization The shamelessness of the
bosses did not surprise us. We wish to
assure them that we know who are our
leaders and who are our misleaders and
therefore we declare that, through the
help of our organization we will carry on
our fight as long as it will be necessary,
until we achieve the victorious end

PROTEST JAILING UNIONIST.

Perth Amboy, N. J-Officers of the
state federation of labor are assisting
local organized workers in creating SEN
timent against the attempt of the Stand
ard Underground Gable Company to
raj road" Stephen Speck to the peni-
tertiary. About 1,600 employees have
been on strike for the past month for
wage increases and recognition of the
union. Speck has been most active. He
is now sentenced to three months in
jail on the charge that he is "disor-
dcrly person" President Quin of the
state federation of labor asked Recorder
Pickersgill to permit Speck to be lib
Grated under bond, but the court replied
that Speck would be secured in Jail by
special form of commitment under
which no lawyer could easily secure his
liberation. President Quin told the court
that such an extraordinary procedure
