tant struggles on the part OF the work
ers to improve conditions.
. That the administration sup
u ports a bureaucracy that disre-
CARDS the will of the rank and file and
uses It's position to make agreements
with the bosses at the expense of the
workers.
A That instead of pursuing a pol
k icy of class struggle, the admins
tration concerns itself with co-operat-
ing with and assisting the bosses.
Has No Better Friend.
The charge that the T. U. e. L. dis.
likes the Amalgamated Is unworthy
Of any serious-minded labor journal
that is expected to give serious consld-
Grafton to real problems that arise in
the organization. The T. U. f. L.
doesn't dislike the Amalgamated, If by
the Amalgamated is meant the rank
and file, the members Of the organiza-
ton.
The Amalgamated has no better and
more loyal friend than the T. U. e. L.
But The Advance cannot expect the
T. U. e. L. to fall upon its knees and
worship the reactionary officials who
dominate the organization and who
pursue policies that are wrong and
very harmful to the interests Of the
workers and the organization as such.
Officials Responsible,
THE revolt OF the rank and file
l. against the Amalgamated bureau
cracy is due to the realization on their
part that the policies OF their officials
and the methods used by them in the
organization are responsible for the
prevailing bad conditions. The revolt
is the left wing. Organizing 1t and
giving II constructive direction, so
that 1t shall not go up blind alley
and result in dualism or the complete
destruction of the union, is the T. U.
e. 1.-The conscious force of all the
militant and progressive workers In
the unions.
Against Bureauorats.
The T. u. IL. l.. in the Amalgamated
is composed of the best and most loyal
of that organization. 1t is
too much concerned about the welfare
and reputation of that organization to
desire its destruction. Its activities
re directed against the bureaucrats
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-11-24

The Advance charges that the cloak
makers and furriers' union went into
a T. U. E. L. receivership.
That these two unions now under
left wing control have not Jared so
well.
1t is better to be in the receivership
Of the T. U. f. l.. than in the receiver
ship of the bosses. But why consider
this bunk? Let us examine facts.
Facts, facts, facts is what has to be
impressed upon The Advance. It
would also benefit all the members in
the Amalgamated that the facts thai;
will be here stated be given fullest
publicity in The Advance.
What Furriers Won.
THE furriers' union, under the lead
l. ership of the left wing, with the
Communist Ben Gold leader of the
strike, did win II weeks general
strike, and won the following main
demands:
Forty-hour, flve-day week.
Increase in wages.
Elimination of overtime work as
Gluch as possible
No sub-contracting
cloakmakers' Gains.
THE cloakmakers, in spite Of the sa-
l. botage OF the right wing, their
criminal attempts to bring about a
defeat, in spite Of an Injunction, ac-
complished the following in their set.
Element with the industrial council
Forty-hour, flve-day week.
Materially increased wages.
Limitation OF contractors.
Thirty-two weeks work guarantee
for your established principle of time

whose destructive and treacherous pol
icies are threatening the ruination of
the union. The T. U. E. l.. has never
declared war upon the Amalgamated,
who have changed the Amalgamated
from the most progressive union in the
United States to one of the most reac-
tionary.

Says The Advance: THE officers OF
the cloakmakers' union of New York,
who are the political dummies of the
II. u. e. L.. do not want the Amalga-
mated to raise money for the striking
cloakmakers." "A very poor argument
by which The Advance wants TO ex-
cuse the unwillingness on the part Of
the Amalgamated administration to
give as generously as they can and
should to the relief of the striking
cloakmakers. A very poor argument
against the actions of Manager Beck
erman of the New York Joint Board
in ordering the firing Of six workers
from their jobs because they insisted
upon taking shop collections for the
striking cloakmakers. In the most re-
dictionary union deed of equal das-
tardliness cannot be recorded. Six

Of abuse against the left wing, print Il

quiet. Such silence and inaction must
be interpreted as full endorsement; OF

A Few Words to the Leaders of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Of America.
You, who are parading before the
public as radical leaders!
You, who are the first to join the
Civil Liberties Union, the anti-fascist
movement, and every other organiza-
ton that fights for freedom of speech
and press,
You, who have constantly agitated
for industrial unionlsm, for amalga-
nation, and for militant organization
to serve the interests of the workers.
At present, heads Of the Amalga-
mated, We find you engaged in the
task of breaking up the finest tradi-
tions of the Amalgamated, denouncing
every radical thought that you your
selves have propagated.
How do you justify. Brother Schloss-
berg, the fact that in the name of the
Civil Liberties Union you demand
freedom of speech Of the ku klux
khan at time when in your own union
the heads are split of those who dared
voice their opinions?
BY what right, Brother Hillman, do
you come to sister union urging the
necessity of mutual assistance in time
of struggle and promising them help
when in your own union, President
Hillman, you have deprived members
of their daily bread for the mere fact
that they collected funds for the cloak
makers strikers or because they dared
to differ with you. most worthy presi.
dent?
BY what right, Brothers Blancos. do
you address a meeting of the anti
fascist organization demanding JUS
tice of Mussolini, freedom for Italy.
condemning the castor oil methods of
the fascisti-when in your own little
sovereign, there is more than one Mus
solini? Your methods towards de-
feating an theological opponent are
more dishonorable than those of the
fascist.
At one time you fought against the
open shops for their Inauguration of
the blacklist system. And today, lead
ers of the Amalgamated have inaugu-
rated their own blacklist system
against the most active union mem
bers.
Leaders of the Amalgamated, do
you think you are pursuing the proper
policy? You are no doubt familiar
with the history Of the class struggle.
you are well aware Of the fact that
terroristic methods will not suppress a
revolutionary spirit. Such methods
will only serve as fuel to the fire.
These methods that you are employ
ing are in themselves an admission
of your desperateness. SOS
Worthy leaders, Hillman, Schloss.
berg, Beckerman and Harry Cohen,
can you deny the fact that had not
the left wing movement raised the Is
sue last year against throwing work
ers from their shops, against the plot
or plague of reductions and produc-
lions, you would find yourselves to-
tally helpless?

! that there is a possibility of a favor
able season ahead in the mems cloth
ing industry. With the union In
good shape and the likelihood OF
favorable industrial situation the
chances of that opposition are slim.
SO the editorial wants to infe- that
Gitlow, by proper tactics, can undo the
union il he cannot undo a favorable
Industrial outlook. This is how the
administration, thru The Advance,
wants TO justify Its criminal neglect
in utilizing favorable industrial condi-
lions for the workers. Furthermore,
Hillman and Beckerman have already
concluded an agreement in New York
for two years that prevents the union
from capitalizing on the favorable in
dustrial conditions prophesied, to OBJ
tain better conditions for the work
ers. For two years the Beckerman-
Hillman' administration closed an
agreement which obtained nothing for
the workers, which included a supple
mentary agreement that lays open the
way for piece work, and which pro-
vides guarantees TO the manufacture
ers that no increase in the cost Of pro.
duction shall take place end that the
union. Furthermore, guarantees pro-
duction standards to the manufacture
ers.

TT is no wonder that l.. ]. Jhffee.
l. head Of the manufacturers. declared
enthusiastically the new agreement
will not increase costs" This shame
full sell-out, in force for two years,
will safeguard the profits Of the
bosses. II any prosperity in the In
dustry takes place the workers will
not share In II. Whatever prosperity
will take place will be enjoyed only by
the bosses. The Advance should not
make demagogic statements about the
wrecking OF the Amalgamated. The
Advance would do better by turning
the searchlight on the Amalgamated
administration and It's open and
treacherous betrayal OF the workers.

therefore ask you, worthy leaders OF
the Amalgamated, are we to be con-
demned because We want good union
for our members? Are we to be con-
demned because we want to help the
striking cloakmakers? Are we to be
condemned because we are against
piece work? Are we to be condemned

Worthy leaders Of the Amalgamated.
consider carefully where your action
may lead you. The recent destroyers
of the garment workers are at pres
ent employing fascist methods against
those that helped to build the-Amal-
gamated.
Remember that the left wing move
ment was sponsored as result of the
Indifference of the professional lead
ELS to the sufferings and needs of
tic workers. You are making mis-
take when you think that you can de-
stroy the left wing movement by de-
priving the class-conscious workers of
their bread.
Our program has implanted deep
roots in the hearts Of thousands of
workers. Thru your terroristic meth
ods.you may succeed in driving few
into submission, but you will not be
able to destroy the movement.
Remember, leaders Of the Amalga-
mated, that the only means we have
of supporting and maintaining our
families is the shop. We will do
everything at our command that our
families should not be deprived of
their piece Of bread.

THE ADVANCE. the official organ OF
l. the Amalgamated Clothing Work,
ers of America, in it's editorial, "Let
Us Call Spade-a Spade" charges

gamated and that the 7. U. E. L.
would see the Amalgamated out OF
tueiness If it cannot force it to do
business in the T. U. E. l..
Feel Conspiracy.
The Advance would like the work
ers to look upon the left wing senti-
ment that'is so strong in the Amalga-
mated as the work OF few men or
gained in the T. U. E. L. who dislike
the Amalgamated and want to impose
their will upon the organization. In
other words, that the T. U. e. l.. is
conspiring against the Amalgamated.
1t is the same argument the capital
lists use against the labor movement.
That the labor leaders have formed
conspiracy to stir up discomfort among
the workers, and thus for selfish mo-
tives foment strikes.
II Brother Hillman would be con-
fronted with such an argument he
would declare that the labor leaders
are not responsible for the discomfort.
That at the bottom Of the discomfort
and directly responsible for the strikes
are the bad conditions prevailing for
the workers and their mistreatment In
the shops.
Reasons for Left Wing.
The existence of a left wing move
ment cannot be brushed aside by such
arguments. There are basic reasons
for the existence Of the left wing.
They are the following:
I That conditions for the mem.
4. bers of the Amalgamated in the
shops in recent years, instead OF i'm
proving, have continually become
worse.
. That the administration pursues

TWO STAR TRACK MEN OUT OF IT
HoIf and Gibson Retire for Rest
 Of Season

New York, Feb. 2 LT9-TWo mid Ilo distance runners of prominence are out of racing for the remainder Of the indoor track scaSon--Charlcy Hoff of Norway and Johnny Gibson of Fordham university.
 Hoff says that he was rather stiff and sore after performing in three events at the Millrosc games in New York last week. the pole vault, the Millrosc 500 and a special relay race in which visiting foreigners met q team of Americans. From now on, and ho has decided to engage in several meets during tho next few weeks, the record holding yaultcr will indulge only in clearing lofty bars.
 Gibson, who caused q sensation in track circles by beating Alan Helffrich. former Penn State star and conqueror of Paavo Nurmi at a half mile, in q meet in Newark early in the season, was taken i'll after the Millrose 500 last Thursday and his coach, Harry Coates, dccid- cd that his athletic future would not be jcopardized by further eXertion.
