EXPULSION OF
DRESSMAKERS
DAMNS SIGMAN
Reveals Real Motive Is
Not Union "SaUing"
Especial to The Daily worker)


NEW YORK. Dec. 26.-That all of
Morris Sigman's recent actions, which
he pretended were taken to save the
garment workers from insufferable
conditions due to the strike, have
been but wells to hide his real inten-
tlons Of selling control of the joint
board, is proved by his expulsion of
Dressmakers' local % according to
statement Issued today by Louis Hy-
man, manager Of the joint board

Lyman also announces, inasmuch
as the expulsion is contrary to the
constitution Of the International Lad

the bounds of all customary proceed
ure and based on mere accusations.
made without formal charges having
been fled that the order will be en-
tireIy ignored.
"Sigman's contention that he ex-
PEELED the Joint board because of mis-
management and to. save the strike,
protect the strikers and recall the
lockout is shown to be false by his ex-
pulsion of Local %" said Hyman.
This action after the strike is over
shows that he has been seeking one
thing all along; to reorganize the
Joint board, ousting the officials who
repudiate his leadership and putting

His excuse fof expelling the offici-

been cvstomaiXA punish people. not
for what they have done. but for
what they may do? The officials OF
local % have never made the slight
est suggestion that they intend call

But Sigman's action betrays the
workers. The workers intended 10
ask the employers only for a renewal
of their agreement. Now the employ
ers will be encouraged not to renew
the agreement by Sigman's statement
that the union is too weak to strike
and by his showing that the very call.

ENDORSE PRIMARY

The Nonpartisan League and
Farmer-Labor party meeting re-
Gently at St. Paul endorsed two
candidates for governor-Tom
Davis by the Nonpartisans and
Magnus Johnson by the Farmer
Labor element. Either man is
well known over the state. and
will make a strong contender for
the office, especially is this true
of Magnus Johnson. Mr.. John
son had made it known that he
desired to keep out of the poll
teal game for two years but
likely he was prevailed upon so
strong that he decided to enter
again at this time.
In their platform the Farmer
Labor and Nonpartisans en-
dorsed the primary election law,
knowing it is a friend of the or
binary people and disliked by
those who wish to get nomina-
ton and swing quickly in
through the old convention sys-
tenn.

Oh, come to the land of the Western Sum-
Where every business is overdone,
Where the stores charge freight the goods made here
Ask them the reason, they think you queer.
They serve you climate with all your meals;
It's so blamed hot your back just peels.
The "Ananias Club" includes the state
From San Diego to the Golden Gate
The movie stars marry twice year;
]. Would marry again if the way was clear
The grape fruit here is something fine ste>
cross between a lemon and pumpkin rind
The way the cows eat barley instead of hay
And the cream gets lost on the milky way
They sell you lots that made by hand,
And they make you think it's really land
The view of the is very nice,
That is included with the price
They weigh the sack and then the fruit
Then weigh them again and their fingers to boot.
They claim it is wet if it rains once year,
And you get so dry you can't shed tear
The chickens have mites and the dogs have fleas
The desert winds blow and make you sneeze
We shovel sand and you shovel snow;
Just about stand as far as l know
So tune up your fvver and start for the West
Where jobs and pay is less.
Bring all your cash and pretty Clothes
When you get any more the Lord only knows.
l am telling this story which l know is true,
AS by with my eyes of blue.
If the Booster Club gets this back
They will change my eyes from blue to black
They asked me to write the truth to friend,
And I've done and this is the end

LITTLE INTEREST SHOWN

The. proposed county endorse
ment meeting at Hinckley~ Satur-
day turned out no better than
the one held on March 13th-in
fact not as well for there were
only % present and at the March
meeting 33. Out of the %,
twelve. of them were from the
Askov community. Excuses of
poor roads and the like were
presented. If the IL from Askov
could drive 20 miles certainly
others could drive 5, 10, and Is
miles, especially on the Federal
highway. 1t is only ii miles
to Hinckley from Pine City and
not a soul from there was pres
ent. In fact the southern end
of the county, that south of
Hinckley which represents two
thirds of the population, did not
have a single delegate at the
meeting. Only one lone person
"a newspaperman from Pine
City was present to see what was
going on. He. is also part owner
of the Hinckley newspaper.
If the original twelve at Askov
wished to endorse any certain
candidate they could just as well
have done so at home, but of
course that would not have the
appearance of a county endorse
ment.
1t does make difference how
a thing is started and what the
motive is.

MUCH TO LEARN

Not long ago Arthur Brisbane
in his editorial column surely hit
the bulls eye again with his Gus
tomary briefness in the following
lines:
irresponsible boys, itching for
notoriety lacking reverence,
formed an association of damned
souls" at the University Of Ro-
chester. They profess atheism
and feel important, as silly souls
often do, when half-baked.
The undergraduates now for
mally disapprove' them, which
was hardly necessary. "A frog,
seeing a locomotive and saying,
Il know nothing about the en-
gineer," may be forgiven. But
only a fool frog would say, There
is no engineer, my high intellect
tells me that"

Opinions of Others
URGES BIG ATTENDANCE
AT P-T-A MEETING

Askov, Mimi, April 7, 1926.
Askov American,
Askov, MINI.
Dear Editor:
AS far as | recall you have,
through your columns announced
about four times the Parent
Teachers meeting to be held in
the school house on Friday even
ing, April 9. At various gather
ings-public, semi-public and
private-school matters have
been discussed pro and con.
Considerable enthusiasm and
much persuation have been evi-
dent in these discussions.
1t can be said, l think, that
the local school board is very de-
sirous of having the best pos
sible school, giving to the great
est number the most possible in
all respects. There are matters
in which the board can best
shape the school policy when it
knows the views of the patrons.
Some time ago the board ex-
pressed the wish that the Off
GERS of the P-T-A arrange a meet
ing for the discussion of local and
specific matters. The officers
were willing to comply with this
wish, hence this meeting Friday.
Now, Mr.. Editor, l am wonder
ing how many will take the
trouble to ,attend. How many who
are fairly well satisfied with the
present state Of affairs will come
out? How many of those who
have discovered the multitudin-
Gus wrongs and weaknesses of
the Department of Education, of
the school system, of the local
board and of the superintendent
will attend? How many who
have a solution of all the local
problems will remain at home?
How many will be at the meet
ing? The attendance at this
meeting should rival the attend
ance of the meeting addressed by
Mrs. Anna Dickie Olese
Will It?
Respectfully yours,
F. Clarey Nielsen.

yourself in the privacy of your
bed chamber. .. r..
Be gracious! More men and
women have lost themselves to
each other by being rough and
careless and sickening each other
concerning the little niceties of
life, when merely to keep up
things in the way they began
would have saved the whole
situation.
At this minute if l should be
asked to name the biggest rock
on which matrimony stands, |
would put my fingers on the
thing that starts discomfort and
unhappiness, as lack of courtesy
between men and wives, which
very shortly eliminates in dis
gust and disrespect.

SPRING CLEANUP

Many towns come through the
winter looking like the boy who
comes to the table with his hair
all tousled. Father tells him he
must exercise the hair brush be-
fore he is allowed to sit down
with the family. Or sue h
towns might remind us of the
man who hasn't had his hair cut
for a couple of months nor shaved
for a week.
Unsightly spots are a problem
in most towns. Public sentiment
here and elsewhere clings to the
idea that the individual shall
have the right to manage his own
property. But our patience. is
sorely tried if some neighbor al
lows his home to become disord-
erly or decadent. His careless
ness costs the whole neighbor-
hood something, perhaps the
whole town. Such situations call
for remedy.
But as public spirit advances
people come to see that it is good
business to clean up disorderly
spots, to trim the weedy whiskers
off their land, and give seedy
looking buildings a Saturday
night bath of clean paint. Towns
that take. hold of spring cleanup
with enthusiasm feel afterward
like the man who has paid the
long deferred visit to the barber
shop.
