CLEVELAND, June 1O.-The $500
workers organized in the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union in this city have been granted
a wage increase Of 5 per cent. The

the future prospects of the industry.
Morris Sigman, president of the In

Iron WORKERS Y
WIN FIGHT ON
OPEN SHOPPERS
Iron League Backs Up;
$1.50 After Oct. /

The dispute of the Structural Iron
Workers Local No. /, with the Iron
League contractors, which led to the
strike of many big jobs in the Chicago
district, has been ended by an agree
ment in which the open-shoppers were
forced to agree to the clause providing
that the union may strike any job con-
tracted for hereafter on which non
union workers who refuse to join the
union are employed.
The union iron workers are now
ordered back to work at the old wage
rate of $1.371s an hour until October 1,
when the increase demanded at the
beginning Of the strike will take ef-
feet and the pay will be raised to $1.5O
an hour.
Union officials disclaimed knowl-
edge Of the reported "bucking" Of
bitter-end open-shoppers among the
Iron league members at the terms of
the agreement. The union will hold
its usual business meeting Monday
night to discuss this and other affairs.

Regarding the unions petition that
the coal companies be restrained from
hiring miners not belonging to the
union, the Judge ruled that contract
covering this question, "if not too
broad, could be made, provided it
could be carried out"
The court declared it could not un.
derstand the Baltimore ratification of
the Jacksonville agreement in which
the union and the Monongahela Coal
Association were the contracting par
ties. That the four companies were
members of the association he did not
doubt, but he could not take Judicial

than had been presented, therefore he
could not hold that the agreement was
binding upon them.
Counsel for the u. M. W. of A. said
that the union would take an appeal to
the supreme court.

Progressive Must Get
Members Support
By a Worker Correspond emit.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 10.-There
always comes time in every organi-
cation when the old timber" must be
cleared away and be replaced by new.
This is the case within the Journey
men Tailor's Union of America at the
present time. Brother Sweeney can
no longer serve the organization OF
which he is secretary. The J. T. U.
must get new timber" in the secre-
tarial position If it is not to be swept
under by the tides of reaction and the
old fashioned way of conducting the
affairs Of union.
In selecting this new timber we
need not look very far and we will find
! it in no other parsonage than Max ].
Sillinsky. Not because Max is hand.
some or good hand-shaker, but be-
cause he has been progressive, to such
an extent that Sweeney has even sug-
gested that he be ousted from the J.
! T. U. It would be crime If anything
like that should happen to Brother
Sillinsky.
Why is he said to be a progresslvee
Let us go over the situation and point
out just few instances. Brother Sill
linsky has for some time advocated
amalgamation, in fact ever since ANAL
gamation has become an issue in the
labor movement in America. He has
also been a staunch supporter Of the
move for recognition of Soviet Russia
and has fought on the floor of the con-
ventions of the American Federation
of Labor for it. And Max Sillinsky
has been a supporter of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense in Cleveland ever
since its inception.
A good many more instances could
be cited, but there is really no need to
do so at this time as the election
period for secretary to the ]. T. U.
is now on and the members are quite
well aware of the facts regarding the
two outstanding candidates, Sweeney
and Sillinsky. Certainly with pro-
gressive record like that which Broth
er Sillinsky stands upon no member Of
the ]. T. U. could afford to overlook
an opportunity to vote for him as Sec
rotary of the organization in prefer
ence to Sweeney.

Bumper Crop in Soviet
Union Is An Event Full
of Great Significance
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

Lobachov sums up the crop out
look in the Soviet Union in these
words:
"There is every indication that at
the end of the crop year, next
month, Russian grain purchasing or
CARNATIONS will have accumulated
sufficient reserves to provide for
market regulation and insurance
against any unforeseen develop
ments."
This is the basis on which Loba-
chov is placing large orders for ma
chinery and equipment in building
flour mills and elevators in the
United States. 1t is in view of the
present favorable prospects for the
coming harvest, that a large export
able grain surplus is expected for
the year 1926-27, which will make
possible considerable increase in
the imports of machinery and equip
ment into the Soviet Union. Some
Of the interesting figures are as fol-
lows:
From July, 1925, to April, 1926,
the amount of grain and seeds
moved from villages was 100000
tons against 100000 tons in the
same period a year previous. Pur-
chases in April amounted to 601,5 500
tons against 100000 tons in April,
1925. 1t is expected that by July,
the years program, which provides
for market movement of 100000
tons from villages, will be more
than fully carried out"
1t is significant, or should be to
all American farmers, that the Rus
sian farmers are not worrying about
"Haugen acts" or other legislation
from any congress" There was
time when the Russian peasant ap-
pealed to "the little white father"
the czar-in Moscow, just as
American farmers are now pleading
with silent Cal" Car Nicholas,
when in power, turned his back on
them, however, just as President
Coolidge does today, ignoring even
the ballot protest that comes out
of Iowa.
The Russian peasants got tired of
protesting and Joined city labor in
taking power into their own hands.
They know now that every addi-
tional bushel of grain they put on
the market and sell, helps strength
en- the Soviet economy and in
creases their standard of living.
American farmers only know that
there is powerful proft-taking
class, that dominates the govern
ment. and stands ready to demand
toll of profit on every bushel of
grain produced, unmindful of
whether the farmer goes bankrupt
and is forced to see his family
starve and live in misery.
The Soviet system of the Rus
slams stands as a challenge to the
capitalist system Of the United
States. The bumper crop in the
Soviet Union is an international
event Of great significance as it
strengthens the challenge of the So
Wet system to capitalism, not only
in the United States, but all over
the world.

One of the most important among
many significant international events
right now is the fact that the peas
ants of the Union of Soviet Repub-
lies are harvesting a bumper grain
crop.
This development no doubt has
very great deal to do with the hur-
ried trip to the United States of DR..
Alfred Zimmerman, the league of
nations general commissioner for
Austria, to urge the adoption of a
more friendly attitude towards the
Soviet Union; with the latest de-
laration out of Poland that no Bal
tic alliance against the Soviet Union
is being planned, and with the pres
ence in the United States of Ivan S.
Lobachov chairman of the Khlebo-
product or Soviet Union grain trad
ing organization.
DR.. Zimmerman is declared to be
one of the worlds greatest financial
experts. But all his wizardry has
not been able to lift materially any
part of capitalist Europe from it's
economic depression. Zimmerman
declares that Russia must return to
the economic life of Europe.
While Zimmerman has been busy
in Austria, trying to save that coun-
try from disconnected labor, the
Germans carried some of thinner
mans ideas into action by signing
a treaty with the Soviet power that
stunned the Locarnnsts, ratified the
bones of the league of nations and
even put some bad crimps in the
Versailles peace treaty.
The Germans needed Soviet trade
much more than they wanted seat
at the council table of the league of
nations. They were even ready and
eager to use American gold to ex-
tend credits to the Soviet Union.
The Wall Street government at
Washington thought this was going
a little too far and issued one of it's
pronunciamentos to the effect that
U. S. money sent to Europe must
not be used to extend credits to the
Soviet Union. No doubt DR.. Zim-
norman is rushing over to this
side of the Atlantic to report that
this hurts capitalist Europe much
more than it Injuries that large part
of the continent under Soviet rule.
All of the Baltic states depend
economically upon the Soviet Union.
Without Soviet trade their factories
and workshops lie idle while rest
less armies of unemployed continue
to grow ceaselessly, a menace to
white terror rule. The ease with
which Pilsudski overturned Witos'
rule in Poland is an indication of
the instability of the Baltic govern
ments generally.
When these could look to Paris
for financial and military support,
the outlook was not so dark. But
anti-Soviet hopes have continued to
droop with the fall Of the franc, I'M
til Baltic statesmen now try to for
get that they ever entertained any
aggressions against the Workers
Republic.
