Workers organization here is not try
ing to get membership under false
pretenses. It's officials point out the
work there is to do, but they point
also to the certainty of success, as
demonstrated in other cities, if the
union work is done.
One method of organization in ~hi-
cago is to hold frequent mass meet
ings, to which all workers in this
field are invited by eircularizing of
the shops with leaflets, by personal
appeals and hru the press.
At the meeting last night a good
many girls Joined the union, and a
lively discussion took place on the
floor as to the best methods of pro-
noting organization.
Besides the secretary there also
spoke Agnes Nestor, president of the
Women's Trade Union League of Chi
cago, and Ida Rothstein, member of
the joint board Of the International
Ladies Garment Workers.
Miss Nestor told of her own expert
ences as glove maker. When the
glove makers first went on strike. the
bad conditions were illustrated by the
very modest demands made. The first
demand was that the company stop
charging the operatives for the power
they used; the second demand was
that the employer should sell needles
at cost and cease to profiteer on them,
and the third was that oil for the ma
chimes should be furnished free.
Union shortens Day.
Ida Rothstein told Of the growth of
her organization and the results in
betterment Of workers wages and
shortening Of the work day. When
the ]. L. G. w. first came into exist
ence the number of hours worked per
week was 81. Now the 40-hour week
Is being obtained in New York, and
the extra long work day is abolished
wherever the union has strength. She
used the history of this union to prove
that permanent, solid organization is
what brings results, and that the work
ers must be ready to work for IT,
without impatience or discourage
ment. II they do they will surely win.
The I. L. G. W., she said, had made
great gains, but she did not think
they were too great; the workers
should still have more, since they
were the sole producers Of wealth.

Rejects SCHEME

NEW YORK CITY, Aug. 30. - The
proposal OF Governor AL Smith to the
strikers in the ladies' garment indus,
try, that the strikers go back to work
and leave their demands to- arbitration,
has been rejected by the union, thru
letter signed by Morris Sigman for
the International and Louis Hyma1
for the N. Y. joint board and approved
Of by the strike committee.
The letter, which is of excessively
polite wording, is, in part, as follows:
Gratefully Appreciatlve.
we are very grateful to you for
your keen interest in the fate Of our
members now struggling to secnrc
liveable conditions, and we deeply ap-
preciate your efforts to establish peace
in the most important industry int New
York.
Our union throughout its existence
has given ample and consistent proof
Of its general disposition to settle any
E differences with employers by concilia-
tory methods and with the aid of vol
untary and impartial outside tribun-
ais.
Arbitration Would Not Serve.

lion at this time if we had any hope
that the particular difficulties which
confront our industry could be solved
by that process. Our union, however,
has, after mature deliberation, reached
the conclusion reluctantly but definite
ly, that arbitration would serve no
good purpose in our present condi-
TONS"
The letter speaks sweetly of the
governors commission which, after
two years Investigation turned down
the demands of the union in all essen
tial points. These commissioners, the
letter says, were exceptionally well
qualified for the difficult task by abil-
ity and training as we'll as their gen.
rally recognized fairness and high
indsd devotion to the cause Of indus

Is sufficient redress of the workers
many and justified grievances. The
Jobbers,' who are responsible for
about rs per cent of the total produc-
ton, have officially ignored the rec
concentrations of the commission and
practically rejected them in toto"
After citing the anarchy in produc-
ton and the evasion of responsibility
by the jobbers. the letter ends with
the suggestion that the governor bring
about conferences between the work
ers and the different types of employ
ers in an effort to solve the problem.
"Dear MIR. Governor"

the union can be OF real benefit to
them in their daily problems on the
job.
When the left wing stepped into the
positions of leadership it found the
organization badly demoralized. The
members had gotten out of the habit
of bringing complaints up to the union,
and did not expect it to take their part
in any effective way when they were
imposed upon by the employers. For
a long time they had not been able
to get much satisfaction from their
union.
Persuaded to Complain.
The first thing that had to be done,
say the present officials, was to per-
suade the members to bring their
troubles to the union. The activity of
the new officials in settling disputes
to the advantage of the workers has
gradually changed the situation en-
tirely. Now the members keep all the
officials busy, and continual growth
in numbers is reported by l. L. David
son, the organizer. Wages have also
been raised, the natural result OF or
activity. The cutters have
gained FIVE dollars fat raise, the fin
ishers have won increases on many
different jobs, and some OF the op-
orators are getting more pay.
The employers are now prevented
from humiliating the workers by
shouting at them or personally com.
planning about their work. All the
employer can do II he does not like
the speed the worker shows Is to file
a complaint against him thru the
union, whereupon a fair investigation
results.
SIanderous Criticism.
Thru this entire period OF rehabilita.
ton of the union by the left wing, the
new oficials complain OF being SLAM
dered, hindered and interfered with
by the right wing officials who have
lost their Jobs thru the vote of the
membership changing the administra-
ton. and by their organ, the Jewish
Daily Forward.
Some Of the articles in the Forward
are OF doubly treacherous nature, IN
that they not only hinder the union ac-
tivity OF the present officials OF the

ers but also encourage the employers
to believe that the organization cam.
paign will fail and that they have a
chance to break up the union.
