considered that the height Of mill
fancy was refusal to pay dues to OF
sit in the same union with "pie-card
artists"
THE contradiction arising out Of the
conflict between the tendency to
leave the Sigman machine to stew in
it's own juice and the real role OF the
left wing as the unifying force in the
union as against the disrupting tao
tics of the reactionaries, hampered the
work of the left in the convention and
had its repercussions among the rank
and file outside OF the convention as
we'll.
This contradiction was responsible
for the convention struggle, upon
which the whole attention Of the /. L.
G. w. membership as well as that OF
large sections of the rest of the trade
union movement was focused, center
ing entirely too much upon mere ex-
posture Of the organizational methods
of the Sigman machine instead OF
using it's terroristic tactics as a start
ing point for a more complete expos
ure of its essentially middle class
character and energetic propaganda
for the left wing program.
THE natural nervousness Of the Sig
= man supporters in the face of the
exposure of its expulsion policy and
its cooperation with the bosses and
police, was understood by the left wing
as genuine fear OF the effectiveness
Of these tactics whereas, having a
solid majority in the convention insur-
ing its control Of tho machine for the
time being, and its war on the mem
bership having already been broad

wing program.
Caring nothing about the union as a
fighting instrument of the needle
trades workers, the Sigman machine
was quite willing to allow the left
wing to expend its energy on organ
national questions to the exclusion of
the more damaging but less spectacu-
lar discussion on important points Of
the left wing program.

Of the organization. 1t was impossible
for the machine, in the face Of having
been forced to sign pre-conyention
peace agreement with the left which
was in itself an acknowledgment Of
the failure Of It's attempt to rule and
ruin, to defend its record. The Sig
NANTES could have been saved from
defeat on the officers report only by
administering a crushing blow to the
left wing in the debate on the first
portion OF the report.
THIS it failed to do because the left
= wing refused, altho it wavered at
times, to be swayed from the basic
class issues involved.
Provocative as it was during the
debate, its defeat made It fur
ious, and beginning with the venom
GUS speech of Yanofsky, former editor
of Justice, now completely discred-
tied, continuing with the threat Of the
use Of police to clear the hall by Sig
man and ending with the abrogation
of the agreement for proportional re-
presentation to joint boards and the
submission of certain important ques1
lions to a referendum, the Sigman ma
chine deliberately tried to trap the
left wing into secession.
The reaction of the left wing to this
provocation is probably the most irn-
portant event of the convention from
the standpoint of left wing strategy
and tactics in the present period in
the American trade union movement.

lance the Sigmanites continued to de-
lay bringing in the report Of the gen.
eral executive board with the hope of
cutting down discussion on it to a
minimum.
Tho Left Wing Wins a Real Victory.
pUT by this time the left wing had
- learned by bitter experience that
the convention debate must be lifted
to a higher plane and altho the ma
chine skilfully divided the report into
three parts to hamper free discussion
Of the report in its entirity, the left
wing here made the best showing Of
the convention. The report was sub
divided under the heads of industrial
conditions and problems" "the inter-
nal situation of the union" and "the
morale Of the organization"
Under the first head was included
the submission Of the demands Of the
union to the governors commission by
the machine after both the Boston
convention and vote Of the member
ship had authorized general strike
in New York.
BY combining this example of mex
cusable class collaboration with the
general problem of industrial condi-
tons and future program, the machine
hoped to create endless confusion
among the left wing. The Sigmanites
made two major errors here. First.
they were victims Of the sterotyped
belief concerning all left wing move
ments, /. e., that they know little and
care less about the everyday indus
trial conditions and the needs of the
workers, that they are entirely wrap
ped up in what the so practical re-
dictionaries contemptuously call wis
ionary schemes"
The second mistake was in not
bringing in this matter earlier in the
convention, before the left wing had
profited by eleven days Of convention
struggle.
ON the subject of industrial condi-
~ lions the left wing speakers dis
played real knowledge; in addition
they had an advantage over the ma
chine speakers in that their view of
the industry was much broader in line
with their superior knowledge of cap
italist development in America.
The difference between the two
points of view on both arbitration and
the development of the ladies' garment
industry was clearly defined in the
debate altho on the question of arbi-
tration the left would have made still
better showing if it had been less con-
cerned with organizational control of

Dangerous Left Wing Maneuvefs.
WITH the appointment of conven-
w ton committees the left wing
took another step in the direction of
spltt--a step which the Sigman ma
chine undoubtedly anticipated and
which 1t capitalized to certain ex-
tent.
From the important committees OF
the convention, such as those on the
report of the general executive board,
on appeals and organization, it DELHI
erately excluded every outstanding
leader of the left wing. On the union
label committee, perhaps the most I'M
important of all, 1t placed julius Hy-
man, Rose Wortis and other oustand-
ing militants. The whole procedure
was studied provocation and the left
wing reacted by refusing to serve on
any of these committees. On this
point the Sigman machine did not
yield, even under pressure from the
left and some of it's less hard boiled
supporters, and the convention pro-
ceeded without representatives of the
majority of the membership serving
on it's committees.
Only under pressure from the more
disciplined and farsighted members of
the left wing did it consent even to
its members appearing before the
committees in behalf of its resolu-
tions.
The tension in the convention in
creased and the tendency towards a
split was encouraged by this maneu-
yer.
T ESS important but still indicative
- of the confusion among the left
wingers on the question of tactics was
the abstention from the official ban
quet of the convention, at which Presi-
dent Green was the principal speaker,
on the grounds that they could not ex-
plain to the membership why they
took part in such an affair. Not only
did the left wing refuse to attend the
banquet and there continue the con.
vention struggle but it organized and
held an affair of its own. The leader
ship Of the left wing cannot be blamed
for this separatist policy except inso-
far as it had neglected to instil the
idea Of a fight against the bureaucracy
on all fronts and at all times into the
rank and file.
The refusal to attend the banquet
was purely rank and file reaction
reminiscent of the days when it was

SHORTER HOURS
FOR OFFICIALS.
NOT WORKERS
Police Stage 'Drive" for
1000 Arrests
BY L. p. RlNDAL.
worker Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Dec. "a
According to information given out at
the city hall the commissioners of
the board Of public works have
passed a resolution reducing their
own work from five to three days a
week. The so-called common laborers
of the city were not mentioned in this
connection at all. Nothing was said
about reducing the pay check of these
officials either.
Here's A Reason!
The work is piling up, and mem
bers of the board say that they can
accomplish more by meeting three
times a week instead of FIVE"
If this argument holds good for
commissioners-why not for workers?
These officials have put forth some
reasons, of course, why they can turn
out more work in a short week than
in long one. They no doubt also
have reasons why their salaries shall
not be reduced.
Now, the workers also have argu-
ments and reasons to offer-not only
in favor of shorter hours with the
same pay as present, but also for less
work and more pay. The unemploy-
ment situation is one reason out of
hundreds in favor of such arrange
ments.
Wonderful Plan of Police.
The police of Los Angeles arrested
700 men. for vagrancy during the
month of October. In November S4S
"vags" were railroaded. On Dec. 1,
the police department announced it's
plan to arrest 1000 men this month.
Mark the word plan" They are
planning such Things.
Those back of the chief of police
are very generous with their Christ
mas gifts to the. idle workers this
year-almost as tender-hearted as the
salvation army or Mr.. Santa Claus
John S. Horn, who used to be the
boss of the Central Labor Council, is
a member of the board of public
works. But no efforts have been made
to create more jobs, or cutting the
hours, on public works in order to
give idle hands a chance. Los An
geles is an "oasis OF abundance"
Mayor Cryer says; but workingmen
go to jail by the thousand for no other
reasons than the crime that they are
alive without being given chance to
make a living.

the union at this time. Nevertheless,
the speeches of Lyman and others
showed clearly that while the reaction
aries looked upon arbitration as a
weapon Of the workers, ignoring COM
pletely it's ruling class nature, the left
wing placed its whole dependence
upon the solid organization Of the
union and the fighting spirit Of the
membership. AS Hyman explained,
the union could force recognition Of
its demands from an arbitration board
only If it proved its strength and
willingness for struggle and that If an
arbitration board made concessions to
the union it was still necessary to
strike to enforce them.

4 tive board had based its whole fu-
ture policy on fallacy, /. O., the con-
tinued decentralization Of the industry
with the corollary that the union
itself must organize the sub-contrac-
tors-a species of class collaboration
that the left wing answered in the
proper manner by showing that the
rise of the sub-contractor was due to
the weakness Of the union, for which
the reactionaries were responsible,
and the remedy for which was the or
ganization of the unorganized On a
