breaker with the sharpest pressure
they could bring upon the union with

Not only did they. discourage any
militant action of the union to combat
the strike.breaking methods OF the
governor, but it was quite. apparent
that scabbery was greatly encouraged
by them outside of New York, as we'll
as in New York itself, role in which
NInfo and Dubinsky played no small
part. It was also quite evident that
the manufacturers were we'll informed
about the unions plans, which made it
possible for them to hold out against
the unions demands and gave them
tremendous advantage In the settle
ment negotiations and thus made the
strike such prolonged struggle.
Every happening in the settlement
committee was known TO the leaders
Of the Industrial Council and it was
apparent that the propaganda they
put forth in paid advertisements, etc.,
was inspired from sources close to the
innermost circle Of the union. All
this was accompanied by deliberate
sabotage of relief sources, in all of
which they had the full support and
cooperation of the entire, A. F. OF l..
bureaucracy.
The distinguishing feature OF the
right wings strike-breaking policy in
this strike, which differentiates 1t
from the policy pursued by their col.
leagues in the furriers is that out
wardly, once the strike was declared,
they camoufaged their dangerous
strike-breaking policy with an atti-
tude OF militantly speaking for the
worker demands, which to consid-
cradle extent deluded the workers and
made their treachery so much more
dangerous for the union. Even the
left wing was, at the beginning, taken
In by this appearance of a real united
front to win the strike. Now that the
left wing Is exposing their strike
breaking policy In detail they are com
ing out In the open In the midst OF
the strike, while over 10000 workers
are still fighting the jobbers. ars

the head Of the American trade union
movement has made the Categorical
statement that the trade unions and
trade union positions are closed to
Communist working men and women.
THE socialist party press and the

seen expressing the same policy
which finds tactical expression as fol-
lows:

munists as descriptive, and as in
dividuals who, taking orders from
their party, care nothing whatever
about the immediate victory OF the
workers in their daily struggles.

class at large that Communists are
not workers but interlopers of a mys-
terious kind who wriggle their way

TN the public justification Of the cam
L paign against fighting trade union
ism, and which cepters on the Com
munists, there is a unanimity Of ex-
preston in the socialist, capitalist and
official trade union press that can
spring only from a common policy
The New Leader, "a weekly journal
devoted to the interest of the socialist
and labor movement" uses a column
of editorial space in its December 2
issue for an attack on the Communist
Party and the Trade Union Educa-
tional League as the leaders of the
left wing. Says the New Leader:
It is because ALL THE OTHER
OLITIcAL AND RELIGIOUS
GROUPS STOOD TOGETHER
against this exotic menace that there
is any union left at all and any
hope of recovering lost ground.
| (Emphasis mine.)
THAT "aIl the other political and
4 religious groups" constitute
minority of the membership of the
New York section of 1. L. G. w. and
are supported by the bosses and the
capitalist press does not cool the holy
ardor Of the New Leader. 1t proceeds
to incite it's readers, by what is a
finished example of socialist demagogy,
in preparation for the national confer
ence of the Committee for the Pres
ervation of the Trade Unions on
Dec. 81:
Yet in the presence of the disaster
they have wrought, Fosters league
announces that it will hold ma
tIonal conference of its shock troops
in the needle trades in New York
York City Jan. and 2. Families Of
union members are today suffering
privaton because of the dual al
leeance brought into the union by
this league and now it is proposed
to rub salt into the gaping wounds.
The measureIess insoIence Of this
proposal is amazing. Its sponsors
might at least have the grace to
beg forgiveness Of their victims.
Instead Of this they have the i'm
pudence to gather at the scene Of
their bunglIng and propose further
meddling in the union.
THE above sounds much like thu
l. provocative statements published
by the patriotic press against social
{ lists during the war. 1t is plainly de

of other points places the settlement
as one far above the governors com
mission recommendations The fact
that the cloakmakers were able to
force such a settlement despite. the
great support, covert and open, the
manufacturers received from the state
government and the right wing, is in
deed as great a victory as could have
been achieved. It is true that the
cloakmakers suffered a partial defeat
on the point of 10 per cent reorgani-
cation, but they fought against ii and
under the left wing leadership will
yet defeat the manufacturers on this
point IL, in the course OF the next
three years, the right wing Is elimi-
mated as a dominant factor IN the nee
die industry and the various needle
trades internationals are consolidated
thru amalgamation into powerful In
dustrial union covering the entire In
dustry. The partial defeat on the re.
organization must be placed squarely
on the right wing, which, thru the
governors commission, brought II into
the industry and then connived with
all the enemies Of the union TO impose
not only this point upon the cloak
makers, but intended to force settle
ment below the governors commits
sion recommendations upon the strik-
ers. In this. no matter what the right
wing may say, they were definitely de-
feated. The strike settlement thus
marks defeat for the right wing. II
eliminates the governors commission
az a factor and marks the beginning
OF the definite elimination OF the right
wing control Of the international La
dies Garment Workers Union.
