Phases of Life in Soviet Union
UNDOUBTEDLY the best motion pic

UNDOUBTEDLY the best motion pic
ture showing conditions in the So
Wet Union to be shown in America
up to the present time is Russia To-
day." produced by the first American
Student Delegation to visit the Work
ers and Peasant Republic, now play
ing at the Fifth Avenue Playhouse.
The photoplay portrays all sections
Of life in the Soviet Union. More
than half of the picture is devoted to
factory scenes, the rest to several i'm
portant contemporary events in the
Soviet Union.
One of the most inspiring parts of
the picture is Defense Week which
took place after Voikoff, Soviet Union
ambassador to Poland was murdered
and Great Britain broke off diplo-
matte relations. Thousands of factory
workers, guns over their shoulders,
march to the Red Square, Moscow, to
let world Imperialism know that they
are ready to defend the Soviet Union
against any attack made upon it.
The funeral of Arthus McManus,
one of the leaders of the Communist
Party of Great Britain is another
amazing sight.
Thousands of workers are crowded
into the Red Square, in front of
Lenin's tomb while N. Bucharin,
editor of the Pravda, delivers an ora
ton over the body of the dead English
Communist.
The scenes of the development of
industry are also remarkable. New
buildings and workers homes in many
parts of the Soviet Union are shown.
The workers rest homes are also
displayed upon the screen Here we
see the former palaces of the Roman
offs and their supporters being used
by factory workers as a place to rest
after toiling in the factories.
The student delegation is to be con-
graduated for issuing such a fine pic
ture. The photography is unusually
clear. In fact, better than most pic
lures produced in the Soviet Union
that have been shown in America.

BY ROSE WORTIS.

In the "Women's Wear" of Friday,
November the 4th, there appeared a
statement about the organization of
q new Association of Women's APP
parel Industries of America. The
statement runs in part as follows:
1.-The objects to be accomplished
include the Joining together for
the purpose Of mutual benefit for
those engaged in the manufacture
or wholesale distribution of wom-
ems, misses and children's wear
and kindred lines, and those en-
gagged in the manufacture or whole
sale distribution Of materials that
go to produce and develop the in
dustries mentioned in the United
States.'"
1T has been repeatedly pointed
out that the commonalty of in
terests of all ready-to-wear con-
Germs demanded a powerful unified
organization TO ably direct activ-
tiles"
The statement further goes on to
say that:
1.-THE new organization has al
ready arranged an affiliation with
other leading organizations in the
women's ready-to-wear market,
notably the United Women's Wear
League of America and its affiliated
organizations, the Eastern Millinery
Association and its units, the As
ISOLATED Fur manufacturers and the
Associated d is Industries of
America"
'The new association will have as
its chief objects the betterment of
internal trade conditions and the
achievement Of closer accord be-
tween wholesalers and retailers, and
wholesalers and their sources of
supply"
1T will now be possible for the
Women's apparel industries to pre-
sent united front in the further
ance of their common goal"
Association to Fight Workers.
While this association is seemingly
organized to take care of the purely
business end of the employers in
terests, there is no doubt that the
broad aim-of unifying and protecting
the interests of the manufacturers en-
gagged in the various branches of the
industries-will include mutual aid
and protection in the event of labor
trouble. The organization of this new
association shows that the employers
are alive to the industrial develop
ments. 1t shows that they recognize
Capitalization as the best means of
protecting their interests in all fields.
The needle trade industry is contin-
uously growing in Importance in spite
Of the occasional seasonal slumps.
The employers recognize that by
solidifying their forces, by establish
ing centralized machinery on a
scientific basis, their position in re-
lation to other factors in the industry
will be strengthened to the great ad-
vantage of their business growth.
The association thus far is limited
to women's apparel industries, but the
close connection and similarity of
problems between the women's and
the mems clothing industries will I'M
doubtedly lead to the extension of this
association to include the employers
OF the mems garment industry.

for meeting the pressing problems of
the workers. In this blind alley the
decadent bureaucrats, in an effort to
maintain their hold on the unions, are
erecting ever greater barriers against
united action Of all the needle trade
workers. They are divided and sub
divided into various cliques. Their
policy is not dictated by the needs of
the workers, not by the developments
of the industry, but by their clique
interests.
Make Common Cause Against Masses
There els one danger, however,
which is recognized by all of them, a
danger which to them is more real
and more menacing than the attacks
of the employers; that is the rising
revolt of the workers against their
further domination in the unions. To
obviate this danger, they have found
common ground in explosions and
tented with their bankrupt policies of
submission to the employers. To ac-
complish this, they have modified all
their resources and have been carry
ing on a war of destruction in the
needle trade unions for the past few
years.
Right Wing Replies with Reaction
The demands of the workers for
amalgamation of all the unions in the
needle trades to meet the united
front of the bosses are answered with
explosions and prosecutions. The de-
nand for organization of the I'M
organized workers, a task which can
only be successfully accomplished
thru the unification of all the bran
ches of the industry, is met by conces-
sions to the bosses at the expense of
the workers. The demand for rank and
file control of the unions, for demo-
cracy in the administration of union
affairs is met with police, injunctions
and Imprisonment of workers.
Left Wing Leadership the Solution.
The developments OF the past few
years have been an object lesson to
the workers in the needle trades, as
well as to the labor movement in gen.
eral. The brief experiences of the
furriers and the cloak and dress
makers with the left wing administra-
tons have shown the workers way
out of their difficulties. 1t has shown
them that only the progressives have
program for Strengthening the
unions and command forces capable
of gaining improvements for the
workers. These brief experiences,
more than any amount Of propaganda,
have made possible the determined
struggles of these workers during the
/ past year against the combined forces
of reaction in the attack on their
unions.
Forge Weapons in Struggle
/ The workers in the needle trades
J are living thru a period of great
stress and agony, but in the course of
these struggles they are forging the
weapons that will enable them to re-
construct their unions on a sound
basis where craft unionism, autocracy
and policy of class collaboration
will be substituted by amalgamation,
democracy and a militant struggle
against employers. Only in unity of
action against the united front of the
bosses lies the salvation of the needle
trade workers. The struggle must
go on and will go on until this is ac-
complished.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-11-15

branches OF the industry nave at al
times been conscious of their common
interests and during critical periods
have come to ore another's assistance
both financially and morally. A striS-
ing illustration was the attitude of
the Industrial Council during the Fur
riers' strike of 1926, when they re-
fused to permit their employees to
work an extra half day during the
height of the season (Which under or
binary circumstances they would have
gladly agreed to) simply because the
money was to be contributed to the
support of the fur strikers. However,
the organizational separation was an
obstacle to more active cooperation,
with the result that today this diff
Guilty has been obliated by the for
nation Of this new association Thus
we see employers OF the needle in
dustries, taking full cognizance Of
their common needs by joining their
forces in "a united front in the
furtherance Of their common goal"
What Of the Unions.
How are the unions equipped to
meet the new developments in the in
dustry? How will the needle trade
unions face the united front of the
bosses? How will the officials of the
needle trade unions, who are opposed
to amalgamation of the needle trades
and have prosecuted all the opponents
of amalgamation, meet this new of
fensive of the bosses? What is the
situation in the needle trade unions
today?
The Cloak & Dressmakers' Union.
The Cloak & Dressmakers' Union
is lying PROSTATE, without a vestige
of its former strength. The jobbing-
contracting system, which had for
years been the source of all evils, has
received such impetus by the internal
struggle that daily the more legit-
innate firms are disbanding their
plants and are becoming jobbers.
Union conditions, for which the cloak
and dressmakers have bled for many
years, are completely wiped out. The
week work system, which was estab-
lished in the cloak industry after a
long and bitter struggle, has been
abolished and piece work, at rates
even lower than those prevailing in
1910, re-established. The 40-hour
week, one of the greatest achieve
ments of the needle trade unions, is
but memory of the past. The ten
and twelve hour day and the seven day
week is common practice in the in
dustry.
Corruption and Decentralization.
Not trace is left of the dignity
and self respect achieved by the
workers thru the organization of
their union. The cloak and dress
maker today is an abject slave of his
employer and is subjected to the
speed-up system and to humiliating
conditions.
The Cloak & Dressmakers' Union,
which was the proud achievement of
thousands Of men and women, is
shattered into fragments, it's prestige
undermined, its morale broken. The
best union workers, employed by
their respective firms for many years,
are discharged by order of the high
est officers of the International.
Workers are sent to scab against
each other and are given police pro-

their miserable conditions.
Shamelessly, the leaders OF the
I-Amalganated are selling out the in
terests Of the workers to the employ
ers and are advocating the individual
standard Of production, which will
eliminate the most basic union con-
ditions in the shops Without any
sign of resistance, and even with the
tacit consent of the officials Of the
Amalgamated, the employers are re-
their shops and throwing
out all such workers who insist on
union standards, regardless of
whether they are rights or lefts.
The workers Of the Amalgamated
are paying dearly for the treachery of
their leaders during the cloakmakers'
strike, for the support given by
Beckerman and his gang to the
bureaucracy of the l. L. G. w. U. and
the Furriers, the Sigmans, VOLS and
McGradys in their efforts to convert
the militant needle trade unions into
company unions" ruled by their
clique.
The Cap Makers.
This breakdown of union conditions
in the more important branches of the
needle industries is having it's effect
on all other branches and today we
find situation in the Cap Makers
Union where President Zaritzky and
his supporters are ready to give up
the 40-hour week, the establishment
of which came as the result Of the vic
tory Of the furriers. Zaritsky is not
only ready to give up the 40-hour
week without sign of resistance, but
is even willing to give up the week
work system, prevailing in the indus
try for many years, and substitute
piece work in its stead.
Same Right Wing Methods.
Zaritzky's manoeuvres in the Union
today are typical Of the methods en-
ployed by the trade union bureaucracy
in answer to the offensive of the en-
ployers and the demands of the work
ers for an aggressive policy. Instead
of adopting the policy of fighting the
jobbers and organizing the out-of-
town shops that have migrated from
the main centers, as proposed by the
left wing, Zaritzky advises granting
the employers concessions that would
reduce the standards of the New York
workers to the level of the out-of-
town shops.
Unions Weakened-Bosses
Strengthened.
Thus we see conditions where the
unions have been weakened and dis
organized, union standards under
mined, the jobbing- contracting sys-
tenn becoming more widespread, the
open shop becoming ever more
menacing, the problem of the out-of-
town shop more pressing, the sweat
shop and speed-up system once more
coming into existence, and the ranks
of the workers disunited, their energy
and enthusiasm dissipated in internal
strife. This is the deplorable situa-
ton we find in the needle trade
unions at a time when the employers
associations are Strengthening their
ranks and solidifying their forces.
Right Wing Bankruptcy Proved.
In the course of the past few years
the bureaucracy Of the needle trades
has demonstrated it's bankruptcy. 1t
has demonstrated it's inability to lead
and guide the workers in their strug-
