FOR STATE SENATOR

Our genial editorial friend H. 3.
Watson of the Arizona State Miner
of Wickenburg has decided to run for
the state senate.
Maricopa elects two senators, so
our friend desires to be one of the
select.
He has chosen an anti-compact
platform on which to run. For this
he is entitled to credit for honesty
If not for good judgment.
Doubtless the compact will be sube
mitted to vote of the people of the
state at the next general election. If
so, such instruction would be morally
binding on all members of the legis.
lature.
But anyway, we are for Mr.. Wat.
son for the senate, as the pact is not
all there is before the people. Mem
bers of the press make better legis-
lators than do the lawyers, as a rule.

SIGMAN SCORED
FOR SURRENDER
TO EMPLOYERS
Desertion of 4O-Hours
Hit by Left Winger

1.-THE reorganization walkout called
by officials of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers in New York city
pending the jobbers' ratification of
Governor Smiths award does not dis
guise President Morris Sigmans sur
render to the employers" said Ben
Gitlow, a militant needle trades union
list to the DAILY WORKER yesterday.
"Sigman refused to sanction a
strike for the 4O-hour week and the
other basic union demands. Instead
he turned the organizations interest
over to a commission appointed by an
old party politician. The old party
politician made an award in faovr Of
the employers. Even the jobbers final
ly signified a willingness to accept
this award. Sigman's order Just calls
on the cloakmakers to stay out until
this acceptance takes the form of a
definite contract"
Can't See Bosses Books.
One of the points that union officials
claim they have gained under the
Smith award is a decision compelling
contract shops to carry a minimum of
Ia machines, thus hitting at the tiny
shops which it was difficult for the
union to control. Gitlow shows that
this decision means little because the
union is not given definite authority
to examine the books of employers
and thus to find out whether the
bosses are keeping the rules or not.
The award merely vaguely says that
under certain conditions the union
might have the right to examine the
books.
THE International Ladies' Garment
Workers oficialdom did not want a
genuine strike such as would have
taken place had the union pitted its
strength against the bosses in the first
place, instead OF letting Governor
Smith settle the issues" said Gitlow.
Preferred to Surrender.
ga strike for the 40-hour week at
this time would have been a big fight
demanding militancy and solidarity.
Such a strike would have forced the
Sigman machine to turn to the left
wing militants. The revolutionary
members of the union would have led
the battle on the picket line, and the
prestige of the red baiters" would
have waned. Sigman preferred to sur
render to the employers"
