On Free Discussion.
A general discussion on freedom of
expression of opinion in the union
was also nicely sidetracked. Schneid
of Chicago stated that he had been
denied the right to discuss not poll
tical but trade matters and that when
even the elementary discussion is de-
MED in the press that strengthened
the power of the administration and
that issuing of leaflets and bulletins
was a protest of suppressed express
sion.
Hillman asked Schneld, whom he
classed as an experienced journalist,
to submit proof that something that
could be decently printed had been
suppressed.
Resolutions.
The S6-week year proposal was
nonconcurred in by recommendation
of committee. Resolutions calling for
the recognition of Soviet Russia, un-
employment insurance to be paid for
by employers and controlled by the
union, one against the Citizens Mill
tary Training Camps and one calling
for the protection Of apprentices were
unanimously passed.
The resolutions on International
Labor Defense and workers sports
were referred to the executive board.
To Aid Passaic Strikers.
Mary Heaten Worse spoke at
previous session on the Passaic strike
showing up the terrible conditions.
The strike was endorsed and all To-
Gals and joint boards are asked to
give financial aid.
The committees report in dealing
with the strike of the New York fur
riers declared "the committee in this
case recommends to the general exc
cutive board the most possible finan-
cial assistance and we hope that they
win the strike"

BRITISH WORKERS ARE BITTER AS
EMPLOYERS INVOKE THE LOCKOUT
Especial to The Daily worker)


LONDON, May 14.-No general res
toration of the eountrys Industry has
yet been made pending negotiations
proceeding on the question of en-
pIoyers' Iockouts in many trades and
shops.
The ranks of the workers are filled
with bitter resentment at the action Of
the bosses. While Premier Baldwin
announced in Commons he was doing
everything in his power to persuade
the employers to discontinue their
lockout and their hard demands on
the workers, the bosses continue to
discriminate and blacklist thousands
of workers.
The miners conference met today
and stayed in session until 4 p. m.
this afternoon. The discussion turned
on the suggestions for settlement OF
the coal dispute made by Sir Herbert
Samuels.
1t is understood that there was
much protest from the delegates at
the action of the General Council of
the Trade Union Congress in calling
off the strike without consulting the
miners executive.
Today the railway union heads met
with the railroad owners and came to
an agreement. Late today all it needed
was signing Negotiations are still
going on for the resumption of work
on the docks. A report states that
the bus men, tram men and subway
workers had settled their controversy,
but it was not confirmed.
Todays issue of the British
Worker" strike organ of the trade
union congress, severely condemns the
action of the employers who have
enforced conditions for the re-employ-
ment of their hands.

BY JACK TOMBSTONE.
Especial 10 The Daily Worker)

MONTREAL, Quebec, May 1.-THE
Hillman administration lodges ANAL
gamation of the needle trades unions
into one organization tho twelve ANAL
gsmation resolutions have been intro
duced.
The committee on officers reports
presented a substitute resolution reit-
Grating the stand taken by previous
conventions.
Need Of Amaiaamation.
Teams of Rochester declared that
the report of the committee was not
sufficient and drew attention to the
fact that representatives OF the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers
Union and the Cap Makers Union had
appeared before the convention Of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers urg-
ing the Amalgamated to take the in
1tiatiye in bringing about the Amalga-
nation, of the needle trade unions in
to one organization. He also called
attention to the kilograms of the
striking furriers of New York which
made the same request and pointed
out that some one had to make the
move.
TTe offered the following amendment
10 the convention:
AmsIgamation Convention.
That the committee be instructed
ITO consider the matter and to recon.
mend that the incoming executive
board be instructed to call an amalga-
baton convention within six months
time This amendment was ignored
by HilIman,
Coleman of Boston stated that the
industry was compelling amalgama-
tion. He pointed out that in Chicago
one shop was turning out mems and
women's garments and one clothing
shop in Boston was also producing
caps. He declared that if there was
any opposition in the other unions
to amalgamation that it was the duty
Of the Amalgamated to state its po-
sition clearly thru the press.
Must Take Initiative.
Rumuilla pointed out that the In
ternational Ladies Garment Workers,
The Furriers' Union. the Capmakers'
Union and the Amalgamated had at
their conventions gone on record for
amalgamation but that no attempts
were being made to bring about ANAL
gamation and that the general sxecu-
tive boards had even failed to men
tion it in their report. He pointed
out that some one must take the in
itiative and that it should be the
Amalgamated.
New York supplied Hillman with
the muchly sought for previous ques-
tion by the machine. Approximately
20 delegates opposed the closing of
the debate.
lkllman then stated that there was
no room in the clothing industry for
more than one organization, but that
the Amalgsmated would not call
convention for the other organiza-
tions, that they were not going to
