I. U. E. |. CALLS
FOR SUPPORT OF
GARMENT STRIKE
Urges Reinstatement of
Expelled Members

A very striking feature of this
struggle between the clothing bosses
and the garment workers is the
splendid example of solidarity and
self-sacrifce displayed by those who
were expelled from the union recently
for membership in the Trade Union
Educational League. Accused Of be-
ing "disrupters," their action since
the calling of the strike has proved
to everybody that these charges
were groundless. On the contrary,
even those who expelled them, had
to admit that they are among the
most active workers in this strike.
The Trade Union Educational
League in a statement issued yester-
day calls attention to this feature
Of the present strike and called on
the members of the l. +. G.. W. u.
to stand firm in supporting the
strike, solidify the ranks of the union
and make for real solidarity by re-
Installing the expelled members. The
statement follows:
"The exposure Of States Attor-
ney Grove as an agent Of the cloth
ing employers to crush the Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers
Union is but another proof Of the
correctness of the policies Of the
Trade Union Educational League.
With all the employers associations
united against them using in add.
ton to private thugs and gunner
the officials Of the government, the
garment workers should more than
ever realize the need of amalgama-
ton of all the needle trades unions
into one powerful organization, and
political unity Of all labor into a
great labor party.
"Those same members Of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union associated with the Trade
Union Educational League, who were
expelled for propaganda within the
unions, for Amalgamation and a La
Dor Party, are now proving their
sterling services TO the strike tina,
they can fight for the smallest needs
Of the workers as we'll as for those
larger needs, industrial unionism and
political solidarity which are now
more than ever crying necessity
"workcrsl The Trade Union Edu.
cational League calls upon you 10
support the strike and at the same
time to unite your union more closely
by reinstating the expelled members

Speaking for the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor, / hereby desire
to enter vigorous protest against
the actions of your Office in connec-
ton with the present strike of the
Ladies' Garment Workers Inter-
national Union.
Information has reached me,
which has been substantiated, that
you have assigned police officers
attached to your Office to strike
duty. This is an unusual and un-
called for procedure that has never
occurred in connection with any
strike heretofore. The Chicago Po-
lice Department have hundreds of
policemen assigned to patrel strike
districts.
Fomenting Discord.
The officers form the States At
torney's Office, who are not in uni
form, are mingling with the people
in the strike district and are de-
liberately fomenting discord and
trouble and are making most Of the
arrests.
Your officers are arresting work
ing girls, taking them to the Har-
rison Street police station, having
them locked up with prostitutes
and instructing the desk sergeant
not to book them until they have
been held in such company for sew
eral hours.
Yesterday, February 20, there
were eleven arrests made in con-
nection with this strike and your
officers made nine Of these arrests.
Your officers left instructions at
the Harrison Street police station
not to book or permit these work
ing girls to be baked until after
600 D. m. This is clear viola

PITTSBURGH, Kan, March g.
There are lao delegates attending the
convention of District IA, United
Mine Workers of America, which
opened here March 4. This delegation
represents approximately 5000 paid
up members of the miners organiza-
ton. When Alexander Howat was
district president before the Kansas
industrial court clash, there was a
100 per cent organization with a
10000 membership.
The. convention fireworks began
early. In the first days session at
the noon adjournment the chair
announced that all sessions would be
closed except to regular delegates and
the press. This barred Howat and
the officials of the old organization,
who had been ousted by the interna-
tional. With many other non-dele-
gate miners, the Howat group was in
attendance at the morning session.
All previous Kansas conventions have
been open to the public.
At the morning session District
President VIM. Brogart read his re-
port. It covered his term in office,
Jan. /, 1923, TO Feb. 20, 1914. The
provisional organization, set up by the
international board when the District
IA charter was revoked, was in power
here Is months prior to the present
administration.

Servant of Employers.
We have much evidence which
proves your desire to serve the in
terests of that element Of employ
ers who seek the disruption of the
trade union movement. We had
hoped, however, that you would
have some regard for womanhood
and that there was some limit at
which you would stop in your de-
sire to serve the interests Of I'M
fair employers.
To permit your Office to be used
in prosecuting young girls and
women who are in contest TO inn
prove their working conditions, to
suffer the indignity of unwarranted
arrest, brutal handling by your Of
ficers, and confinement in police
stations in company with unfortun-
ate women, is surely beyond the
limitation Of anything that might
