HYMAN, SPEAKING FOR L. L. CIV.
MEMBERSHIP, WARNS BOSSES NOT
TO SIGN UP WITH JOINT BOARD

But they accepted II formally, and il
was only thru their own stupidity that
they were exposed in all their naked
ness, so that the world could see that
they had not the slightest idea of
fighting for the 40-hour week. This
exposure developed in the following
manner: e
On the question Of the guarantee of
certain numbef of weeks work per
year, the left wing put forward the de-
mand for a 36-week guarantee. The
Sigman machine accepted a 32-week
guarantee, and denounced the left
wing demand as demagoguery, citing
the results of the governors commits
sion investigation as showing the aver
age amount of work per year was 80
weeks, and declaring that a demand
for larger guarantee meant to throw
number of workers out of the in
dustry altogether. (See Justice, May
s. official organ of Sigman & Coz
They forgot entirely the very i'm
portant fact that the 32-week average
established by the governors commits
sion investigation was based upon
the 44-hour week, and when they
adopted the 32-week guarantee this
meant that they had abandoned the
demand for the 4o-hour week.
5Iackisting the Workers.
In these three issues it is clearly
shown to the entire membership, that
the fight now going on is not a fight
between factions in the union--it is
fight between the rank and file,
demanding that their interests be pro-
tected in struggle against the en-
ployers,. as against the bureaucracy
of the union, which is in alliance with
the employers. This is the broad
economic basis of the inner union
fight now conferred around Locals 2,
and 20.
Many, many other issues have en-
FILTERED the fight. For example, the
Sigman machine is proceeding to
throw left wing workers out of the
shops, and establishing a blacklist
against the militants. One of the out
standing instances of this was the
case of Stanzer, chairman of Local 2,
who was driven from his job in the
shop by order of Sigman-Perlstein
combination, altho the employer said
openly that Stanzer was one of his
best workers, and the other workers
In the shop are violently opposed to
such discrimination. The workers in
the shops are up in arms against this
blacklisting game, and undoubtedly
there will soon be stoppages and
strikes to put an end to this official
terrorism. 3.t
A Mass Movement to the Left.
II would be a mistake, OF course to
assume that the 10000 workers en-
gagged in the struggle are largely Com
munists, or that this is strictly
Communist fight. The Sigman-For-
ward combination try to make Com
munism the issue, hoping thereby to
brighten away the more backward
workers from the struggle. But there
are not more than 1000 Communists
among the 10000 workers, and in the
executive committees and officers of
the three locals who are under
charges, there are only "a out OF n
that are Communists As a matter
OF course, the Communists have been
among the most militant fighters for
the vital interests OF the workers, and
have taken a leadips part In this
night. That is whykthe vast masses

CHURCH OF DAVIS AND LEE
HoNoRS SEXTON

Richmond, Va.-For the first time
in history, a Negro funeral was held
in historic St Paul's Episcopal church
Of which the Rev. w. Russell Bowie,
p. p, Of Grace Episcopal Church in
New York formerly was rector. In
it Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and
other distinguished Southerners wor-
shipped, making it the church which
was probably more intimately con-
nected with the war between the
States than any other in the country.
This afternoon, April Is, it was the
scene Of the services for Robert
DANIEL, "a years old who was its
sexton for the past eighteen years.
The entire lower part Of the church
was reserved for the colored. and the
gallery for white friends Of DANIEL.
Colored mourners occupied the pew
Of Jefferson Davis when he was Pres
ident Of the Confederate States
There on Sunday, April 2, 1866. he
received the note from General Lee
saying that Lees lines around Peters
burg had been penetrated the night
before by Grants forces.

His head was the first laid low.
He depicted the Negro as "a fam
ished people seeking homes in which
they might live, asking for an honest
living and the rights that are due him
as citizen Of this great nation Thirty
years ago, he said, we were neglected
in our community, but men who were
our leaders gathered US in and we have
come out of that condition and now
we are excelling in oratory, law,
medicine, music, and along other lines
politically, religiously and industrially
Mr.. O'Donnell, in a most pleasing
manner, told US that he has seen US
come forth at our Masters bidding,
and that unless we believe in Love
One Another" and that every man
should have his rights" we cannot love
Him.
In the Negro we find patriotism, the
elements Of great Americanism. All
that he needs is greater opportunities.
The white man is afraid that he will
be his superior, because he has come
further in thirty years than any Of the
white races. Everything is here in
Chicago. No city in the world will
give us the sympathy that the white
man will give US in the city Of Chi
cago, composed Of so many classes Of
people, all the prosecuted races are

opean shall stretch forth his hands

SOME OF THE NEWS OF THE
WEEK
Religious Conference in Georgia; Our
New Neighbors
(By Charles Stewart, Jr)

"a new aspect apparently is being
gathered for the betterment Of relig
ious and moral conditions at gather
ing now being held in metropolis city
Of the state that has the un-Americar
war like organization stamped upon
its being commonly known as the Ku
Klux Khan, which has done more Il
demoralize the American civilization
than any disconsructive organization
formed since the establishment Of the
American government
1t is hoped that this conference Of
southern officials Of both races now
I'll session at Atlanta, Ca, will recog-
nize the fact that when the Master
created races Of men and gave to
them minds to develop for the better
ment Of communities Of which they
are a part. He knew no color, and
if this gathering Of christian men and
women is as described in the Associ-
ated Press dispatch it means the
fatherhood Of God and the brother
hood of man. Each and alike should
be permitted to live and labor for a
higher constructive government that
would Be commendab1e to christian
community.
No set Of men can rise higher than
the moral, social, and religious devel-
opment Of their women. If this con-
ference means anything it means, that
this gathering in truth and in fact
have joined themselves together for
the purpose of making better path
way in every avenue Of life for all
of their citizens who comply with the
Just laws 1t means that the violators
of law regardless of race or color will
have a fair and honest trial. It means
that they are advancing to destroy
the hellish problems Of the scullions
Of the south whose very cursed souls
are Hayden with the flaming fires of
hell. 1t means that they have had a
spiritual awakening from the Master
himself, and if they follow honestly
the plans that should be laid down
to draft a civic platform it will forever
wipe out the burning and craving
thoughts in the vicious prejudice
minds of the rioters and law breakers.
The commission of inter-racial CO.
operation must be men who can
honestly act and stand square on
every problem leading to the high
principles Of justice that the nations
Of the earth will read tomorrow that
this day in Georgia, christian com
mittee unfolding in heart and in spirit
have resolved to take from the south
the block that it has carried since its
formation as a state.
We shall watch with abated breath
the results Of this gathering and it
is to be hoped that the time spent
will not have been lost.
In short thousands Of girls and bows
will follow their moving vans and
their parents to new communities,
thus will be compelled to make new
acquaintance. Whatever might have
been the ills Of the communities Of
where they left, let them fully resolve
to build better form of character
building. # those from whom thew
parted have not been up to their stand
ards morally and socially let them Be
forgotten forever and resolve to build
a new principle that will preserve for
them more reliable position. that
will in all times to come bring bright
er memories and thankful hearts that
their parents give them new opportun-
tiles foS better educational atrnos-
