Expelled MEMBER Statement
Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 7, 1924.
Mr.. M. Sigman, President,
international Ladies' Garment
Workers Union,
Chicago, Ill.
Dear Sir and Brother:
We have been informed by the
Committee from Local No. 100.
which visited you for the purpose
OF restoring unity in the unions
Of Chicago, that you stated that
this could be accomplished only if
, the expelled members made a
statement that they accept the
policies laid down by the present
officials. We desire to state our
position.
It is our profound desire to cure
the decentralization now existing in
our union. We wish to do every
thing in our power to strengthen
our union against the employers
who are trying to take advantage
OF this demoralized condition. We
want to see every worker in our
industry solidly united in a great
movement to improve our condi-
lions and wages. We are ready to
go to great lengths to accomplish
these things. But we are not SO
simple, nor is the membership of
our union so childish, as to believe
that these things can be brought
about thru our surrender of the
inalienable rights of the rank and
file membership to propaganda
for amalgamation, for the labor
party, for the shop delegate sys-
tenn, and the other measures asso-
ciated with the left-wing. It is not
thru abandonment of these fun
damental rights that unity is to be
achieved. Rather it is thru bring
ing our officialdom to respect them
and thru reinstatement of the ex-
PEELED members that our union will
be restored in strength and solidar-
ity.
We are forced to the conclusion,
that the demands made upon us are
demands that we change our opin-
ions, that we abandon our right
to speak for policies which we be-
lieve to be necessary for the best
interests of our organization, that
we surrender the rights of free
speech and criticism within our or
ganization. For us to agree to
any such demand would be treason
to the labor movement. We will
never agree to any proposal that
involves such a violation Of the
fundamental principles of union
ism.
The actions taken against us
were not based upon charges of
any specific actions on our part.
It is impossible, therefore, for us
to make any agreement to cease
particular kinds of activities that
