The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-07-16


International and particularly in the
conducting fight against the betray-
al of the workers interests and
against the disruption of the organi-
cation.
The policy of Sigman machine back
ed by William Green president of the
A. f. of L., the socialist party with its
Jewish Daily Forward, the bosses and
an army of hired gangsters and gum
men, is to rule the organization or
ruin it. When the capitalists are com
bining and merging their interest the
reactionary officials of the American
labor movement are doing everything
in their power to prevent the unifica-
ton of the workers by proceeding
methodically and in high handed
manner to disrupt and split the
unions.
No Broken Ranks
The 10000 members of the expelled
locals have clearly demonstrated
where they stand in the fight that is
now going on in the international.
They stand solidly behind the left
wing and the suspended militant lead
ers of the rank and file. Every attempt
by the use Of gangsters and police to
break their ranks has failed. The
mass revolt that is sweeping the In.
ternational Ladies Garment Workers
Union is indicative of what will soon
take place thruout the American labor
movement.
When this mass revolt will become
general and will have the spirit and
determination of the revolt now
sweeping the International, then the
reactionary oficialdom with its policy
Of class collaboration and craft union
ism will be defeated and driven out
of the unions.
Wrong Move flinders
The eyes of the entire American la
Dor movement is focused on what is
now taking place in the International.
A wrong move on the part of the
workers now will greatly hinder the
progress of the movement for the re-
building unification and Strengthening
of the unions. The Sigman gang of
disrupters has so far failed to make
dent in the ranks of the workers
who are militantly and aggressively
fighting against his descriptive tactics.
This makes it all the more neces-
sary for the workers to guard against
any insidious attempt on the part of
the reactionaries to fool them into a
position where their ranks will be-
come demoralized and their fight dissi-
pated. If this takes place it will result
in the reactionary leaders again do
minating the organization with their
policies. Vigilance and more vigilance
is now required of the workers.
Breslau Favors Sigman
Such an insidious attempt on the
part of the International machine to
fool the workers is the attitude of
Breslau, the car of Local 35. Work
ers are being fooled into the belief
that Breslau does not favor the ex-
pulsion policy Of President Sigman.
This is rather strange. Only a few
months ago Breslau, who has the
wholehearted support of the Forward,
the champion Of thorogoing expul-
sion policy, was opposed to Sigman
because he was not aggressive enough
in expelling the left wing.
There were many militants who,
correctly estimating the Breslau
group in the joint board as one of the
blacklist forces, were inclined to favor
Sigman at the time. To expect such
dyed in the wool reactionary labor
official to oppose a militant policy of
expulsion against the left wing is the
high of folly. BPeslau is and will con-
tinue to be bitter opponent of the
left wing.
Playing Double Game
While some workers are putting
hope in the attitude that Breslau is
assuming. Breslau, like Sigman did
before, is playing a double game.
While maintaining an attitude of
hostility to Sigman, his elements in
Local 80 are valiantly supporting Sig
man in his fight against the militant
workers who are being driven from
the shops in the desperate attempt of
the Signian machine to defeat the
rank and file.
Breslau is a menace and danger
