strike of cloakmakers in New York.

ton committee, which took exactly
half an hour, recommending that an
intensive campaign of organization be

putting even these measures into eff

decisions have made it impossible for
the international to cope with its pres

Needed Unity Against sweatshops.
One of the greatest needs of the
organization at this juncture is unity
of all factions within it, based upon
cessation of persecution of the mil

all members may be directed towards
overcoming the dangers which threat

however, and the amended constitu-

driving out the most active members
of the union, or eliminating them from

LEFT WINGS GROWING
STRENGTH.

The convention of the International
has exposed the incompetency of its
bureaucratic officialdom, their ruth
.lessness in crushing opposition, their
failure as leaders of a militant trade
union. But on the other hand, it has
demonstrated the growing strength
and power of the left wing in the
'pbiim. True, the machine had big
majority at the convention, but this
gathering was in no way representa-
tive of the membership.
1t is indeed the fact that the con-
structive program advocated by the
militants is gaining more and more
adherents and that their influence
among the membership is rapidly in
creasing which caused their persecu-
ton in the organization. The tactics
Of the International administration
before and during the convention, in
dictate a policy of despair on the part
of those who see their hold upon the
organization gradually slipping, and

Left Wings Program.
The future belongs to the militants
in the Inter- tional. Theirs is the only
constructive program which can lead
the union out of the morass into which
its leadership has thrown 1t. The only
constructive note sounded at the con-
vention was that contained in leaf
let outlining the program of the left
wing distributed among the delegates.
This emphasized, among others, a.

ton which have been held largely
responsible for the condition of the
industry. Since the organization Of
the Trade Union Educational League
more than two years ago the opposi-
tion has become crystalized and has
adopted definite program which is
gaining ground in the union. This has
led to bitter persecution of the mill
tants reaching its climax in the expul-
sion Of the most active members of
the International. The decision of the
convention approving Sigman's ex-
pulsion policy marked the elimination
of the attempt to drive progressivism
out of the union.
9 Days Of Machine Hysteria.
For fully seven days the credentials

regularly elected delegates based on
charges of membership in the League
and criticism of the officialdom. At
least two more days were taken up
with the officers reports on the left
hysteria" and the cases of the expell-
ed members from Chicago and Phila-
delphia. Turnout that time the CON
vention was the scene of an orgy of
persecution by an officialdom drunk
with power.
The convention was under their
control-they had planned for that be-
fore it met. By explosions from the
union, illegal removal from ballots,
and other acts of discrimination, they
had eliminated from the convention
the leaders, the fighting militants of
the opposition. They had brought at
least so delegates from country locals
artifcially created for that purpose,
to Offset the votes Of any progressives
who had not been kept out. BY their
propaganda and scurrilous attacks be-
fore and during the convention they
had created spirit akin to the mob
psychology of lynchlng.
Eject 16-Choke Discussion.
The machine had been well-prepar-
ed. Sixteen delegates were elected
from the convention while Sigman's
steam roller choked off discussion Of
the issues involved in their cases. Full
leeway was given the officials Of the
union for the most violent attacks
upon them and the principles they adj
vocate, but no answer was permitted
When the case of the Chicago expelled
came up, Sigman refused to grant any
of the individuals involved hearing
before the convention; and vice presi-
dent sPerlstein went so far as to
threaten with similar punishment
those delegates that dared defend
them. On the question of the League.

IGNORING TRADE PROBLEMS.
This spectacle lasted almost thru
out the convention The trade prob
lens facing the workers in the indus
try were not taken up until the
eleventh day Of the sessions, and then,
the strongest oppositional elements
having been removed, it was all sim
ply matter of accepting reports Of
committees with little, If any, discus
sion.
The convention adopted plans for
educational work, for unemployment
sick, and family protective insurance
