PLAN breakup
OF MY. UlON
IN SECRET Meet
Sign,an and Beckerman
Play Bosses Game
BY SYLVAN A. PoLLAck.


NEW YORK. Dec. 12.-Secret con-
ferences at which plans are being laid
to capture the international Ladies'
Garments Workers Union and expel
all Communists and left wingers from
office in the union are being held by
the Beckerman-Sigman machine at
the national headquarters of the /. l..
c. w. u. West 18th street, it was
learned today.
The call to these conferences was
issued on the heels of a strategic
move of the sub-manufacturers in
which 10000 members of the union
were locked out, and an attempt made
to force the open shop system on the
clothing workers.
Repeat Last Years Attack.
Sigman's plan, it was learned, is TO
repeat his performance of last year,
when, by employing strong-arm men,
ne captured the headquarters of Lo-
Gals 2 and 9 and installed his own
right wing officers. Last year he was
aided by Israel Feinberg and Meyer
Perlstein. both of whom are now out
Of the union.
Feeling the loss OF the support OF
his former cronies and their hackers
in the union, Sigman has rallied to his
side Abram Beckerman, manager of
the New York Joint Board of the
Amalgamated Clothing WORKERS OF
America.
"MussoIini."
1t is Beckerman, known shruout
union circles as the "Mussolini" of the
garment trade, who is the moving
force behind the new coalition. BY
using Beckerman and his gangsters,
Sigman is attempting TO drive out the
Communist and left wing forces while
they are engaged in fighting the pres
ent struggle against the sub-manufac-
turers.
The gangsters of the former Kauf-
man regime in the furriers' union
have also jointed the united front
against the left wing in the needle
trades.
The important part OF the Sigman-
Beckerman program is their intention
to sign an agreement with the bosses
on the latter's terms II their attempt
to install right wing leaders is sue
cessful. The lockout move. which
will be In force until an agreement
has been signed between the I. l.. @.
w. U. and the bosses. was instituted
to give the Sigman-Beckerm ma.
chine time to organize and carry out
Its program.

STEVENS IN FAVOR
 OF VISITING NURSE
Candidate for Assembly Comes
 Out Flat for Project
WOMEN CONTROL TOWN
Revised List of Candidates For Bal lot Issued-Showalter Property Sold-FuneraI of Stanley Fisk Held This Morning.

Breaking the silence that has surrounded most politicians Claude ". Stevens, candidate for nomina- ton as representative to the state legislature today issued a statement that he would support the measure for the appointment of a district nurse for the town of Berlin, there by backing up claims made by Ken sington women that public senti- ment Is swinging towards their side of the pendulum.
 The following statement, signed hy Mir. Stevens, vas received at the Herald office this morning,
 Tn order to correct any misun- derstanding which may have been gained from the article in Thursdays paper, regarding my position with reference to visiting nurse for the town of Berlin, I wish to state that I will support the proposition.
 The above statement undoubtedly strengthens the proposition as Stew ems is well known throughout the community and his support will doubtlessly gain many votes for the move. This movement also throws support of the women to Stevens in the coming caucus, 1t is thought by local politicians, thus making his nomination almost a certainty. That the votes of the women are valuable to prospective candidates has been proved recently when the town cleo tions threw scares into various can- didates, the swing of the usual vote being attributed to the activities of the Kensngton fair sex.
 Local officials want 1t stated that there will be more bills than the nurse question before the town meeting next Thursday and that the fact that other measures must be voted on at that time must not be overlooked by the attendance at the meeting. While the other bills have not received as much discussion and disagreement as the proposed nurse question, it Is felt by officials that they are fully as important as the leagues movement, One of the questions to be decided is the ac- ceptance of the Treasure Fields dis trict as well as the question or al- lowing Sunday movies in the town ship. Both questions are of direct importance to residents and should receive as much consideration as
