History of III. G. W.
Bears Out Claims

NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 4.--Ttn
suspended locals Of the international
Ladies' Garment Workers Union have
been eontendlng ever since the Sig
man gang attempted to outlaw them,
that the main complaint against them
of being Communist, was only
smoke screen for the siuman offieIal-
dom to fight against their demand for
proportional representation In the
New York Joint Board.
To support their claim they cite
the official history of the I. L. G.,
written last year at the request Of
the union by DIR. Louis Levine of
the Institute Of Economics in Wash
dngton and published by B. W.
Huebsch.
In describing the Joint Board, the
local governing body, DIR. Levine
points out that the representation is
not proportional to the size Of the
locals, and he says on p. 454:
This arrangement has been and
still 10 the source Of much friction In
the international. The Operators
and Flnlshers' locals with large mem
bershlPe), especially Locals and 9
Of New York, have periodically risen
In arms against this method Of rep
resentatlon and have demanded sons
sort Of proportional representation in
the Joint Board.
These two locals, (now q and
8, together with Local 20, point out
that the passage in the Levine book
bears special weight, because it ap-
pears in the unions own history, en-
dorsed by the president and director,
In a survey covering the development
of the Garment Workers Union from
its beginning to the present time.

Lasters In Open Shop
Shoe Factories of
Lynn May Strike

LYNN, Mass, -(FP)-Strikes may
be called by union lasters in open
shops in Lynn. The Lynn joint shoe
council Of the Boot and Shoe Workers
Union Endorsed the lasters' campaign
for union wages in the open shops and
approved plans for other crafts to
make drives for union wages in their
departments. The alternative to en-
ployers' refusal will be strikes, if
General President Coils Lovely and
General Secretary-Treasurer Charles
L. Baine approve. Lasters are now
striking against the Kenney Shoe Co.

ITALIAN SEAMEN'S
UNION SEIZED BY
FASCIST GANGS
F scist Federation in
Union Wrecking Role

GENOA-(FP)-The struggle Of the
Italian seamen against the shipowners
and their Fascist allies receives a Sc
we're setback in the handing over of
the seamen's union headquarters in
Genoa, the property of the union, to
the local fascist, who in joint action
with the shipowners have formed what
they call a Fascist Seamen's fedora
ton. The consequences will probably
be that the old Italian Seamen's fed
Grafton will shortly be dissolved and
all its property, including the five
steamers of the Garibaldi Cooperative,
consigned to the Fascist leaders Of the
newly-formed company union, which
means, practically speaking, into the
hands of the shipowners.
This action Of the government
comes after long struggle to subdue
the stubborn resistance of the Italian
seamen and to break their union. Ac-
cording to the press, the occupation
of the seanien's headquarters recent
ly by the police took place to pre-
vent the fascist from occupying it
themselves. But the seamen's union
was deprived Of its headquarters in
February, 1923, when their Coopera-
tive Shipping society (GaribaldD was
also placed under the control Of a
government commissioner.
The government was never able to
lay its hands on the funds Of the
seamen's union, so that the seamen,
although dispossessed Of their head
quarters, were able still to resist the
shipowners and the government COM
missioner, whose authority they never
recognized. The third commissioner
appointed by the government to tame
the unruly seamen had to resign a
few weeks previous to the police oc-
supation of headquarters, admitting
his failure.
