1--WE manufacturers feel it a national
duty to establish normally in the gar
ment trades" says A. E. Lefcourt of
the Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufac-
turers' Protective association, land we
do not intend to have a few union
leaders stand in the way of a cOnstruc-
tive policy"
The time has gone by, if there ever
was such a time, when it could be
considered a national duty or even the
duty of the garment manufacturers to
incite strike in order to break it and
the union with it. Mr.. Lefcourt and
the manufacturers know as well as
the public that the real object of the
protective association in restoring
piece-wOrk and the 49-hour week is
the destruction Of the union. A
flooded labor market puts in their
hands an opportunity to reduce the
working standards of the trade to the
sweatshOp level, and they have con-
cluded to sacrifice the public and the
strikers in an attempt to re-establish
autocratic control of the industry.
In such cases the public, as silent
arbiter, must act as the last court Of
appeal. The cloak, suit and skirt
manufacturers are wrong in compel
ling a strike. They have unscrupu-
lousy broken their agreement, made
last May, to submit to a joint com
mission the conditions which they now
bring forward in support of the return
to sweatshop methods. The public
should rule definitely against the Man
ufacturers' Protective association
