ests of the workers, takes no pos
tive action against the leaders Of
these three sections Of the organ
ization for their treacherous and
dsruptive practices, but launches
into charges against the left wing
that are not substantiated by proofs
and are absolutely false.
The G. &. 3. charges that the left
wing is in league with the manufae-
turers. No proof Is presented.
How can the G. E. 3. make the
charge that the left wing is in
league with the manufacturers
when the left wing bitterly fights
every attempt of the manufacturers
sometime with the aid of union
otficials-to reduce working forces,
to speed up production to reduce
wages, etc?
THE charge Of the G. E. B. that the
L left wing sabotaged the strike
against the International Tailoring
company and the ]. L. Taylor COM
pany and did everything in its power
to see that the strike was lost is
vicious lie. The following statement
IN the International strike appears in
the program of the Amalgamated Ac-
ton Committee:
"The left wing cannot lose sight
0f Ivaka
strike is strike to preserve the or
ganization. The left wing must give
its whole-hearted support to win
this strike. The left wing must COM
bat the scab United Garment Work
ers and must with all it's emphasis
call upon the workers to mass Vio-
lation Of the injunction. The left
wing in New York will give all it's
energy to the end that the strike
against the international shall Gull
inmate VIGOROUSLY for the work
ers."
THIS proves that the charges of the
4 G. E. B. is nothing but brazen
SANDER. The G. E. B. knows that it
was the left wing that led the mass
picket demonstration against the in
junction in front of the International
Tailoring company, and that the pick
cts succeeded in breaking the injunc-
TONS power in spite Of the brutality
of the police
The left wing is proud of its rec
ord in that struggle. The left wing
will always be in the forefront of the
workers struggles. Let the manufac-
turers dare to attempt to crush the
Amalgamated and the Amalgamated
will find no better fighters for the or
ganization than the left wing and its
/ followers.
The G. E. B. further states: "OuI
local organization in New York has at.
tempted to approach this group to see
whether basis for peace could not
be arranged, but all who approached
them found that warfare in the organ.
ization was the aim of that group and
that no concession could possibly
bring them to discontinue their de.
structive work within the organiza.
| ton"
The left wing categorically denies
that its activities are destructive. The
left wing in the Amalgamated has is
sued a program on what it holds must
be done in order to remedy the rotten
conditions existing in the organization
and in the industry. The wing pro
posals are constructive. Our propos.

cost of living. for unemployment in

bosses against the workers.
The left wing also categorically de-
MES that II is opposed to proposition
of establishing peace, real unity and
solidarity in the organization. On this
question the left wing has more than
once made its position clear The left
wing is opposed to any proposition Of
peace that is offered on the basis Of
Hillman's usual policy, that is. on the
basis of dividing the jobs between the
opposing factions.
DEACE can be established in the
New York organization only by
agreeing upon a common program and
by going back to the provisions OF the
constitution, by permitting the men,

democratic provisions. This involves
