 Sylvia made some kind of noise in her throat by way of answer.
 She wasn't thinking of Aunt Agony or of what Aunt Agony was saying. Her eyes and thoughts were on the man who stood across the street.
 He had thrown away his cigarette and, with his hands in his pockets, he was standing still, looking straight across the street at the tall gloomy house where Sylvia lived. His eyes seemed almost to meet her own through the net curtains that hid her from him.
 Her hand went out to pull aside the curtain and only the voice of Aunt Agony, close behind her. stopped her from doing that piece of impulsiye foolishness.
 Now what do you suppose he's standing over there gawking at this house like that for?' she asked, se- vercly.

Garments, Unions and Strikes

A F. of L. union out of the picture.
Here you meet the first case of ex-
pulsion.
Then when the socialist bureau
cracy got into control they became
very practical, so much SO that some
members thought there was no diff
ference between old Sans friends
and them. Thereupon the anarchists,
who We're then in their prime, picked
up the discomfort and captured some
Offices, and there we had little more
expelling. But the real trouble"
started when the Trade Union Educa-
tional League got into the picture.
First the bureaucracy tried to ignore
it, then some of them tried to play
politics with it, then they got the
Mysteries and started to expel. But
this time the opposing side, organized
and led by the T. U. E. L., learned
something about tactics from past ex-
periences. After few months most
of the expellers were kicked out of
Office by those they sought to expel
in the most spectacular fight Of it's
kind the American labor movement
has yet seen.
But it was not the explosions that
really broke the neck Of the old bu-
reaucracy; the explosions were
merely the match applied to a powder
magazine. The real cause was that
for years the earnings of the needle
workers were going down, due to the
shortening of seasons. The employers
got away with their tricks of moving
their factories out of the organized
centers into small unorganized towns.
The big employers gave up their fac
tories and transformed themselves
into merchants (jobbers) that had
their garments made per bundle or
ders from small sweatshops ICON
tractors), thru whom they escaped re-
sponsibility, for union conditions, and
sold the garments thus produced in
retail stores.

its strikelbreaking tactics was 80 shat
tering that it almost created an open
rupture amongst themselves. Hence
in the cloakmakers' strike they camou-
tagged their tactics carefully. In pub
lie they talk militantly, their press
writes militantly, but their sabotage
is quite apparent from their covered
maneuvers with the governor Of New
York and from the announcement
they give to scabbing and to shifting
production outside OF New York, as
illustrated in Philadelphia, two hours
from New York, where the agreement
expired during the strike and not
even the demands for 40 hours, etc.,
was put up, the agreement having
been renewed with a slight wage in
crease, practically on the old condi-
lions. thus encouraging the New York
employers to shift some OF their pro-

The employers are thoroughly scared

to lead the workers on to an offensive
against the employers for the 40-hour
week, higher wages, job control, ETC.,
while the rest OF the unions under
reactionary leadership are meelly sur

that's where, historically speaking,

not do anything to remedy this situa-
ton. As this bad situation came to a

stale in their offices since their sue

the expulsion policy. THEY claimed
to have a cleverer way of beating the
left wing. The success of the left
wing in the other trades and its pow

BOULDER CANYON
BILL in HOUSE

WASHINGTON, April 28.-Finances
for construction of the Boulder can
yon projects can be obtained in the
most simple direct and convenient
manner through the treasury financ-
ing scheme, Under Secretary winston
of the treasury department today told
the house irrigation committee.
Representative Leatherwood, repub-
lican, Utah, warned the committee in
the course of the discussion that haste
in consluding consideration of the
measure, might cause the upper basin
states to oppose the bill with solid
front. The treasury financing scheme
was criticised by Representative Hay
den democrat, Arizona an opponent
of the Swing Johnson bill.
winston admitted that the project
would cost $125,OOO,OOO of the taxpay-
ers' money, but he said the treasury
scheme for financing the project was
not novelty and that it was not
materially different from the method
in financing amy similar government
project.
The treasury he said, should have
complete freedom in raising the neces-
sary money, in case the government
decides to construct the, project. Rep>
resentative Swing told the committee
that revenues from the project would
ultimately repay the government for
the expense of construction.
Representative Leatherwood declar-
ed that California has refused to en-
dorse the project until certain of her
rights had been protected and he
warned the committee that the uppe,
basin states would be as careful, and
that they would not approves the pro-
iect unless their rights are fully pro-
tecteG. After the meeting he intro
duced a resolution to authorize the
secretary of the interior to negotiate
with private concerns and investigate
the feasibility of private construction
of the project, under government reg
uIation. The secretary would be re-
quired, UNDER the resolution, to OBJ
, tain agreements for the sale of the
resources of the project before con-
struction was started in order to be
certain that it would pay. He an
nounced that he would introduce ar
amendment to the bill Saturday which
would put the power resources of the
project under the control of the fed
eral water power commission so that
dvelopment might be by private in
