BY SWAN A. PoLLAcK.


During a struggle such as the one
which is now taking place in the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers
Union between the rank and file under
Communist and left wing leadership
and the reactionary right wing we
find, besides the struggle itself, many
sidelights that are worth considering.
Heroism and fighting spirit, which
in many of the workers had been lat
ent, suddenly asserts itself and makes
it possible for the honest and revOlu-
tionary elements among the workers
to achieve victory, no matter what
forces the enemy in their own ranks
bring into play.
Without such sacrifices from the
workers in the shops it would never
be possible to defeat the strike
breakers and Observation-Disclosures who
still hold office in the union.
Let us consider the needle trades
workers of New York City, especially
at this time the members of the 1. L.
G. w. U.
Try to Regain Control.
In other parts of this paper you
will read of the developments Of the
latest attempt of the reactionary right
wing forces in the union trying to
regain control. In this article we will
briefly refer to the obscure but yet
vitality important part of the fight to
defeat this move on the part of the
socialist-A. F. of L. alliance.
Last year when the Sigman-Fein-
berg Pearlstein machine tried to ter
rorize the cloak and dressmakers by
explosions and suspensions of the
leading Communists and left wingers
in the union the right wing also sent
their gangsters and guerrillas to the
headquarters, which at that time had
left wing administrations, and by
force take them over. They were sue
cessful in so far as locals and 9
were concerned, but when they tried
to take over the headquarters Of the
dressmakers' union, Local %, they
were prevented from doing so by hun
dreds of members Of that local, who
barricaded themselves inside ready to
fight for 1t to the last man.
Guarded Day and Night.
For several months, until the time
the left wing was successful in de-
feating the expulsion policy of Sigman
& Co., Local p was guarded night
and day by its members.
Almost year and half has passed
and today when Sigman, who has a
new ally in the place Of Feinberg and
Pearlstein, in the person Of Abraham
Beckerman, manager of the New York
Joint Board, Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America, starts new at
tack against the left wing, the latter,
learning from its experience Of before
is defending the major left wing To-
calls and the Jewish Daily Freiheit,
which Is the daily weapon Of the rank
and file, against the betrayers of the
union.

Needle Workers Defend Their Union

Locals 2, 9, % and 35, as well as
the Freiheit, are being guarded
against any attempted invasion by the
Beckerman gangsters who have to
carry the brunt of Sigman's fight on
their shoulders, as he is too much dis
credited in his own union to have
much support there.
Fighting Spirit.
Any militant worker who is under
the impression that there is no ideal
ism and real fighting spirit to be found
in the American labor movement
should spend a night in one of the
guarded locals.
Let us take Local Q, located at 81
Lexington avenue, as an example.
The same can be said for any of the
other locals.
About hundred workers are pres
ent. Early in the evening they sit
around in little groups and discuss the
latest developments in the struggle, as
well as other contemporary events.
Then a few go to a corner and start
a game of checkers, etc.
After a while a few who are very
tired stretch themselves out on the
benches, desks and chairs. For the
last process, two or three chairs close
together make a temporary bed.
Dllisent Watch.
While all this is going on a diligent
watch is being kept, so that no sur
prise attack is made on the local.
Special committees which are changed
every hour are at watch at the win
dows, doors and other places, so that
if the Sigman-Beckerman gangsters
appear on the scene they will be the
receivers of a healthy" welcome.
Sandwiches and coffee are served
several times during the day and
early morning and help to make the
twentieth century minute men, feel
full of pep"
Stay All Night.
Many Of those who stay all night
guarding their locals, some catching a
ASH NAAhS VI SASCPB anu AhOSt VI LlACnA
not closing their eyes, go direct to
work after such a strenuous night
Yes, many of them, after working all
day, hurry back and spend another
night on guard duty, and then back to
work again the next morning.
That is the kind Of fighting spirit
to be found among the cloakmakers
and dressmakers in New York City
today, fighting against Sigmanism in
what win undoubtedly end by the
uprooting of the last vestige of the
power of the Jewish Daily Forward
and its clique in that powerful union
Of the needle trades, and move one
step nearer to the realization of that
day when all the needle trade unions
Of America will be amalgamated into
a powerful, united needle trades union,
so that the battle and struggle of any
one section of the needle workers will
become the fight and victory Of all of
them.
