What the clothing workers need to-
day foremost is complete amalgama-
ton of the six existing unions Of the
clothing trades into one organization,
departmentalized according to the
branches of the industry.
DOR years the workers of the cloth
4 ing industry have been regarded
as the dynamic force in the American
labor movement, but today thru the
machin<ion of the officialdom we
have fallen into the background to
such an extent that even conserva-
tive unions such as the Carpenters
can rightfully claim closer afiliation
of the workers in their industry and
point out the fact that they, the Car
penters Union, have broadened the
scope Of organization and to a certain
extent have met the needs of the
times by embodying under one head
the piledrivers, boxmakers and even
pencilmakers. We, the clothing work
ers' unions have indeed fallen mighty
low in our organization work when
we have to take a back seat on ANAL
gamation questions from even the car
penters, who never professed to
champion that cause.
THERE is no doubt that amalgama-
4 ton is the paramount issue of the
needle industry and this must be
driven home to every worker in the
industry. From contact that 1 have
had with the progressive wing in the
Journeymen Tailors' Union, there is
no doubt that the membership is ripe
for amalgamation. tits simply a ques-
ton OF stimulating the other organ
izations to prepare for it.
1t is an unforgivable crime that an
organization that is composed almost
entirely of people of foreign birth, has
not thru its present oficialdom, with
Thomas Sweeney as its head, raised a
single voice of protest nationally
against the vicious bills that are now
pending before congress, which are a
death blow not only to the foreign
born workers but to the American
unions. 1t appears as if the Journey
men Tailors' Union has raised protest
only in the locals where the progress
sive wing has been able to push the
idea forward.

May Day With the TaiIors

THE organization of the unorganized
4 is another great question before us.
There are no less than 100000 eligible
members. On this question, the pro-
gressives insist upon the present sys-
tenn of national organizers being
changed. The situation demands that
district organizers be put into office
who will be responsible for the build
ing up of the organizations under their
jurisdiction. They will not, as at the
present time, be able to go to some
fertile field no matter in what part of
the country it may be situated, to
build up a reputation for themselves
and thus perpetpate themselves in Of
flee. They will be compelled to de-
velop the organization in their own
district, and thus we will be able to
check up on the results that they at
tain.
T Asst but not least, the Journeymen
- Tailors Union needs a special con-
vention. There has been no conven-
ton of the union since August, 1921,
and it was upon the advice and urg-
ing of the present general secretary
that the convention was postponed
against the protest of the militants in
our organization, who have rightfully
pointed out that to postpone conven-
ton means to further stop activity.
Some of the membership believe that
the reason Of this postponement is
that the present officialdom cannot
face the membership on a square foot
ing and be reelected.
A INFLAMMATION being held back
\ and often ridiculed in the official
organ of the Journeymen Tailors'
Union, protection of the foreign-born
having been completely ignored, a con-
Vention postponed till 1929, the organ
izers on the payroll being such as only
to suit the whims of the present gen.
eral secretary there is only one thing
left for the progressives and that is
to clean house. The approaching
elections impel every progressive to
be on the job and to give the pres
ent secretary retiring card. The
stage of compromise and of expecting
to accomplish anything from the pres.
ent officialdom is past, and it is a /
question of a clear, uncompromising
tanned in short order.

BY MAX J. slLLINskY.

THE most important question before
the rank and file of all the needle
trades is amalgamation. The mem
bers of the Journeymen Tailors'
Union realize that the problem of
amalgamation is just as important to
their organization as it is for instance,
to the largest organization in the
clothing industry.
Aside from the fact that the exist
ence of six organizations means ex-
'penses that burden the membership,
with separate offices, STATS and or
CARNATIONS; and aside from the fact
that this impedes the organization Of
the unorganized, for the unorganized
look upon the six unions as store
keepers drumming for trades; in addi-
ton there has arisen a state of antag-
onism and antipathy of one union of
the needle industry toward one an
other which is very harmful and dan
gerous. Furthermore, the existence
of the several unions is a detriment
to the worker in his securing a live
lihood. For instance, if there is
slack in custom tailoring and man
is compelled to get work that comes
under the jurisdition of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers, he is obliged
to join the Amalgamated and pay
new initiation. If he is unable to pay
the initiation fee, he can get no work.
TOR long time, the progressives
! in the Journeymen Tailors' Union
have realized that they can expect
nothing from the present administra-
ton on the question of amalgamation.
No half-hearted measures will be ac-
ceptable to the progressives of the
union. The rank and file in the cloth
ing industry must be united on a
solid basis and cannot permit itself to
be loosely webbed together in alliances
formed by insincere officials, which at
best do not solve the problem of unity
for the working class and which
proved an abortion when attempted
by the officials of the garment work
ers' union several years ago.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Editor of The DAILY WORKER
Very glad to see The DAILY WORK
Err making another drive for new
subscribers. The drive should be CON
tinuous, with no let up for the time
and conditions demand that more and
more workers should be posted on the
great events taking place such as the
Passaic textile strike and the New
York furriers' strike and so many
other great events taking place all
over the world which are of very great
importance to the workers.
The facts of these events The
DAILY WORKER keeps before their
subscribers daily. What does the
hypocritical kept press give of such
events? Not an item of news that is
of interest to the workers. All they
give is lies, scandals, advertisements
and comic pictures. Yet there are
millions of workers paying $12 or
more year for this corruption when
they can get their own newspaper the
DAILY WORKER that will benefit
them morally and economically for Sc
a year.

For the Unity Of the WOrkers and Farmers

hach year with the increasing bank
ruptcy and machinizing of agriculture
hordes of disposssssed farmers and
their families, together with the
grown-up children of the land owning
farmers, find theirways into the cities
to throw their labor power into an
already oversupplied market to beat
down wages and destroy labor organi-
cations. The poor present standard of
living of the workers and his organiza-
ton, which is the basis of that stand
ard, cannot be maintained much longer
without the definite organization OF
the toiling farmers thru the accom-
plishment of the united front of the
two groups, both Ein their economic
and political struggles.

THE workers must awake to these
facts and take the necessary steps
to safeguard themselves and their
brother workers on the farm. The
consideration of these necessary steps
is a proper and timely subject for dis.
cussion at the May Day celebrations.
The farmer is coming more and
more to realize with the progress of
the machining of agriculture. with
the ever increasing value of land. and
with the passing of the lands into the
hands of the mortgage companies, that
his social status is that of the work
ing man, mercilessly exploited because
OF his utter lack of organization and
resistance; that he faces the same
problems faced by his city comrades.
He is therefore becoming more and
more a2aenable to organization, more
and more conscious of the necessity
of organization and of the effecting
of the united front with the city work
ers for the overthrow of their common
exploiters. us

MAY DAY! The day of the Interna-
AVA tional Festival of Labor. How the
very words send thrill thru the veins
of the working masses of the world!
This May Way should be the occa-
sion and must be the time of the law
ing of the foundation for the unity of
the organized workers and the toiling
masses of farmers in their common
struggle to break the chains of their
common exploiter and oppressors, as
proposed by the presidium of the
Farmers International, representing
the millions of organized toiling farm
ers turnout the world, in it's May Day
greetings to the editorial board of the
DAILY WORKER.
Unity Of Workers and Farmers.
THIS day should by no means be re-
stricted to the promotion of the
advance in the unity of the organiza-
ton of the industrial workers alone.
but it must be the occasion for the
broadening of the basis of unity to in
clude the idea of the coordination of
all OF the organizations of the toiling
masses of farmers and the unity of the
organized masses of the working class
with the organized masses of the toll
ing farmers.
This united front of the workers in
the factories with the workers in the
field has not in the past been given
the consideration that its vital impor-
lance demands by the revolutionary
movement, which movement has al.
ways been basicly an Industrial move
ment, which has ignored and neg
lected the revolutionary sentiment of
the farmers, which sentiment has at
times assumed mass proportions. and
failed to take advantage of and direct
it into proper channels, coordinate
1t with the revolutionary sentiment of
the city workers to the accomplish
ment of common purpose govern.
ment of the workers and farmers.
A Common Problem.
TNHE problems of the workers in the

ers. The groups march shoulder to
shoulder to victory. Until this fact is
recognized and this unity accom-.
plished, capitalism is safe. Well are
the exploiters and oppressors aware of
this fact.
So they endeavor in every way to
retain their influence over the farm
ers. Consequently the struggle be-
tween the workers and exploiters for
this mighty ally-the toiling farmers
Is the struggle for the victory Of the
working class as 1t is of the toiling
