clearer it became that the basic ma

in the long run left to their own fate.
The strike movement appeared to
have entered a cul.de-sac. Some
change was necessary, some new
basis, the adjustment of the objects to
the isolated character Of the strike.
1t was here in this Second phase of
the movement, that the other, labor
side of the strike revealed itself.

Labour Council moved to the fore, not

demands were reduced to questions of
local significance, such. as the mixed

opened up the possibility of maneu-

WHILE his henchmen were using
" every low device known to or
ganizational tricksters to obtain a
fake majority at the convention of
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union now being held in
the city of Philadelphia, Morris Sig
man, president of that organization,
and S. Yanofsky, editor of the official
organ, published editorials on demo
crazy orderliness and loyalty in the
organization.
So unspeakable has been the per-
Torrance of Sigman since he sue
coded to the office of the discredited
Schlesinger that he has incurred the
hatred of the overwhelming majority
Of the membership. When the rank
and file perceived the manner in
which they were being betrayed in
to the hands of the bosses in the
ladies garment industry they started
a movement to save the union from
becoming the open adjunct of their
class enemies. When the spokesman
for the rank and file, the leaders of the
left wing, demanded a policy that
would benefit the workers, Sigman
fought against them, first by threats,
hen with open terror. A wholesale
policy of explosions was initiated
When whole locals went over to the
left wing gangsters fairly swarmed
around the headquarters trying to
batter their way in and forcibly expel
the duly elected officials of these
locals. So much for the democracy
of Sigman!
Fear the Left Wing.
DEALING that the left wing
~ could not be crushed and that the
membership of the other locals were
swinging to the left, Sigman agreed
to peace pact with the three ex-
PEELED locals. But it was only an ar
mistice; not the end Of the war. What
he could not achieve last winter by
force he now tries to achieve by a
combination of force and puerife

ers and members to learn the real
character of the labor party demand
of the Communists, they distort the
nature of such a party by declaring
that IF all the workers are to belong
to one political party, that whoever
would venture to belong to another
political group or school would by
the nature of this resolution be ipso
facto Disseminated"
Everyone familiar with the struc-
ture of an "all-embracing labor party
knows full well that it does not mean
forcing all the workers to follow one
! school Of political thought in the
abor movement.
Such party would be based upon
he trade unions and working class
political parties. One Of the funda-
mental demands of the Communists is
that such a party must permit varied
expression of political opinions. With
in such party the Communists
would be free to carry out their pro-
paganda and endeavor to convince
the other groups that our program
is correct; the socialists would have
the same privilege, likewise the S.
L. p, the proletarian party, and
such other minor political groups as
may now exist or come into being.
Opposing a labor party; on the basis
of the objections of the Sigman ma.
chine is nothing more nor less than

~ the Sigman publication denounces
the demand for world trade union
unity. First starting out to whitewash
their own unspeakable record of
thuggery by accusing the Communists
of having, in the recent left wing
warfare in New York, tried ito root
out every shred of unity in our midst
and to break down feelings of unity
in though and action" the objections
