ORGANIZING OF
JEWELRY TRADE
At STANDSTILL
Beardsley Busy Smash
ing Left Wing
BY SYLVAN A. PoLLACK.
Especial TO The Daily Worker)


NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Instead of
devoting his time to organization
work, Samuel E. Beardsley, organizer
of Local No. l and president of the
New York district council of the Jew
elry Workers Union, is busy carrying
out the destructive, union-smashing
program of Morris Sigman, president
of the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union.
Finding the need of an active
American" and christian" in their
fight against the militant left wing in
the local labor movement, the Jewish
Daily Forward United Hebrew Trades
socialist party combination has put
Beardsley forward as one of their
leading spokesman.
The call for the Dec. Fl conference
of the so-called Committee for the
Protection of Trades Unions" had the
name of Beardsley attached as one of
its principal sponsors. He used his
title as president of the practically
defunct district council of the Jewelry
Workers Union to give it added pres
tige.
While this is going on We find no
organization work among the jewelry
workers. Six year ago the New York
district council consisted OF six funs-
tioning locals, while today only two
are virtually in existence. They are
Locals II and 3S.
Local l, which has Beardsley as it's
organizer, has a membership of IS, at
its highest peak having Do more than
300 members. That leaves over 5000
unorganized workers, which Boards
ley is making no attempt to organize.
The small amount of organization
work that has been carried on by
Local / has been done by the left wing
members Of the local without receiv-
ing any assistance from Beardsley
and his socialist friends. Beardsley is
against shop strikes" claiming that
he wants to wait until a general strike
is called in the industry. According
to those who are we'll informed, that
will be at "doomsday,," or, If called.
1t will end the same as the general
strike Of 1919, in a disastrous defeat.
At the present time Local / has not
even one closed shop under its con-
troll.
AT noon time, which is best suited
for organization work, instead of be.
ing in the jewelry district, Beardsley
Is to be found at the national head
quarters Of the I. l.. G. w. u, or the
office of the socialist party, helping
to hatch plans to break up the mill
tant trades unions.
Only when the militant and pro.
gressive members OF the Jewelry
Workers Union become declslvely in
fuential in that organization will the
jewelry Industry be organized.

CAB MAN PUTS
RAT IN HOSPITAL 4
TO BE REP AIRED
Philadelphia Chauffeurs
Stick Together
BY J. o. 5ENTALL.
Especial to The Daily WorkeF)

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-That cab,
drivers can stick together when Il
"rat" is sent to the hospital" was
firmly established in this city this
morning in the garage of the Quaker
City Cab Company as one of the
chauffeurs landed a we'll aimed fist
at the bealz of the snitcher who had
reported him to the offce for having
run his cab without dropping the flag
while carrying passenger.
1t is not an uncommon accident to-
forget turning the flag down in the
hustle of loading a bunch of cab fans,
and the chauffeurs always protect
themselves by calling the station in
such cases, which the company pro-
vides for.
But now a snooper by the name of
Joe Colasante bristles by the cab
driven by one Jim Smith," as we
will call him for good and sufficient
reasons, and did not give him time to
call up the station, but FASTENED 10
the supe to snitch. Jim pas prompt
ly fred.
Jim also promptly decided to smack
Mr.. Joseph Colasante ons as soon as
time and opportunity should present
themselves. Time came in a few
days when Jim followed Joe to the
outskirts of the city, where Jim sud
denly developed clutch trouble and
asked Joe If could help him fix 1t.
He consented before he discovered
that Jim was the very fellow he had
rated on to the boss. Caught sew
eral miles from nowhere with the
picture Of first class trouncing WV
idly before his glum eyes, Mr.. Joe got
his feet into such momentum that
they failed to stop ecen 80 much as
to step into his cab. letting said cab
remain, and speeded on his excited
legs toward the city where he found
shelter under the musty bed Of hi
mother-in-law.
The determination Of Jim, however.
to spank Joe, was getting stronger.
So one beautiful night he draws up
to the garage where Joe was due to
pull in and call it a day and waited.
In the garage were some so chauf-
feurs abiding their time to go on
their shift. They nosed about and
found that Jim was waiting for the
rate. Joe was late, but Jim was not
in hurry to leave. Joe drove his
car past Jim whom he did not no
tice, till he was we'll parked and
ready to wend his way homeward.
Then he discovered Jim and took to
his heels for the second time, but ran
amuck in a corner of the garage.
The so looked on without moving.
Not friend for the rat After he hsc
been located in the hospital the boss
returned and spluttered around ask
ing why the men didn't protect the
rat" Up to the time of going to
press the men have not given a sat.
isfactory reply. The indications are
that the chauffeurs will make all rats
more unpopular than ever. There are
also indications that the chauffeurs
are going to organize mighty soon to
get more decent wages and better
conditions. They are learning to
stick together

As part of its campaign to dimin-

The betrayal tactics Of Sigman can
be clearly seen in his statment that
even if the strike of dressmakers is
not called that the union has be.

"Union standards have been de-

man since Theodore Roosevelt.

CAL FROWNS ON
DEBT MANIFESTO
OF PROFESSORS
None of Their Business,
He Hints
especial to The Daily workerl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The ma
nifesto issued by members of the fac
ulty Of political science at Columbia
university urging reconsideration Of
the foreign war debts settlement is
looked upon by President Coolidge
with disfavor. Conveying the senti-
ment that the professors should mind
their own business" Coolidge has Civ
en- out the statement that he considers
the manifesto "ill-advised and not cal
culated TO help this government in the
pursuance Of its foreign policy"
Washington Disturbed.
Washington was visibly perturbed
over the action Of the professors, AZ
of whom, all recognized leaders in pol
itical science, signed a statement
which virtually urges cancellation of
the war debts, either in whole or part.
The Coolidge administration had felt
that the war debt problem was settled
and does not look forward to the
reopening of the matter with satisfac-
ton.
Don't Need Profs, Says Smoot.
Senator Reed Smoot, who was a
member of the American debt commits
sion, probably voices the administra-
TONS attitude, when he commented on
the manifesto. Il think Congress will
decide the settlement without the aid
of those people" he said. ut would
certainly feel able to do So"
The professors urged the calling OF
a new international conference to
take up the matter of debt adjustment.
They criticize the present settlement
as having produced dissatisfaction,
distrust and misunderstanding among
European nations to such an extent
that the progress already made to-
ward world peace would be lost and
Europe might be prevented from re-
building her war-shattered economic
structure.
Fear European Hatred.
European countries are coming to
regard the United States with a deep
esllng sense Of grievance and a grow
ing odium because of our insistence
on debt payments, the statement said,
with the result that we might find
European hatreds concentrated in a
coalition against us.
They point out that the war was
as much Americas as it was Europe's
after the U. S. entered, and that the
money was used to fight the United
States battle.
