LEFT WING SEES
SIGMAN SELLING
OUT TO JOBBERS
Demands He Make Known
Real Agreement

Information that a sell-out to the
dress jobbers as disastrous to the in
terests of the workers as the sell-out
to the sub-manufacturers which Nor
ris Sigman is now busily attempting
to camouflage, has been accomplished
by the Information, was received by
left wing leaders today.
Challenging Sigman to publish the
agreement with both jobbers and sub
manufacturers in full, C. S. thinner
man, manager of the press division
in the Joint Board, charged that Sig
man as given away to the jobbers
two provisions of the old agreement
$50 that this agreement virtually sane
tions the open shop.
Yielding To Boss.
He declared that according to the
agreement recently negotiated, job
bers who gave out work to non-union
shops would not be fined, as hereto
fore, and that non-union shops would
be permitted to finish whatever work
they had begun, whereas the union
has had power to force it's discontinue
ance at any process.
"These two changes IN the old
agreement make it plain that Sigman
was not telling the truth when he de-
clared in his meeting on Wednesday
that the agreement with the jobbers
had not been changed" Zimmerman
said.
Pooling Workers.
"In the same way he is attempting
to fool the workers as to the pro-
visions of the agreement he has made
with the manufacturers. He does
not announce what is fact, that he
has given up to the employers the
extra pay for legal holidays that fall
on Saturday and that the guaranteed
minimum wage scales. for piece work
ers have been practically abolished
These facts he keeps from the work.

has won victory in a provision that
piece workers do not have to finish
a garment until the price has been
settled, while all piece workers know

ment for many years.
By careful phrasing which he hopes
the workers will not understand, he
tries to hide the fact that the trial
period of one week has been extended
to two weeks. The mutual consent
of the worker and the employer to
extend the trial period" is necessary,
but where is the worker out of a job
who will not consent to lengthening
his trial period if the employer de-
mands it? The abolishing Of the
labor bureau is another concession
granted to the employers by Mr.. Sig
man.

"After all these evasions and at
tempts at concealment on the part Of
Mr.. Sigman Of the agreements he has
made, the workers are unable to be-
lieve that the real truth about the
agreements has been found out yet.
We challenge Mr.. Sigman to publish
the real agreements in full details"

British Government
Offers to Surrender
Its Chinese Concessions

LONDON, Jan. %. - Charge
dAffaires O'Malley is reported to
have made new proposals to the
Cantonese government involving
the surrender of the British
concessions throughout China, in
GLIDING extra-territoriality and
plans for new treaties supplanting
the present unequal ones. Those
who are justifiably suspicious of
British diplomacy see in this move
either surrender to the inevitable
or a trick to throw the Cantonese
off their guard while the British
forces were rushing to Shanghai.
Reports state that the Cantonese
will be in Shanghai before the
British forces get there.

European Oil Companies
Obey Land Law


WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Mexico's
land and petroleum laws, which the
state department consider so confis-
catory that a break in relations has
been threatened, have proved accept
able to 95 per cent of the foreign oil
producers in Mexico, according to
figures issued today from the Mexican
embassy here.
The embassy statement did not
specify the identity Of the five per
cent minority, but it is understood to
include some of the companies con-
trolled by the Doheny, Sinclair and
Standard Oil of Indiana interests.
Only U. s. FLUTES Held Out.
Up to the Dec. 81, the statement
set forth, 643 applications were filed
for permits to operate under the new
laws, these obligations covering some
26,833,330 acres of land. Of this
total, 1923 applications concerned oil
rights derived from contracts prior
to May /, 1917 (when the new con-
stitution was adopted) and 326 con-
cerned rights derived from contracts
subsequent to the adoption of the con-
stitution.
The applications filed covered &c.
833,330 acres, and embraced 94.17 per
cent of the lands affected, according
to the embassy's figures, while the
applications withheld covered $780,
908 acres, and embraced $50 per cent.
The Embassy made public the fig
ures without explanatory comment,
preferring apparently to let them
speak for themselves.
No comment was Forthcoming from

State kellogg has ia several days

The attitude of the department ap-

ever, is not generally shared.
The religious issue was injected
into the Mexican controversy again
last night when a mass meeting was
held in Washington auditorium and
addressed by Joseph Scott, Los

Many members of Congress and rep

Especial To The Daily WOrker.)
BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 2s.-The
fight to save Sacco and Vanzetti from
the electric chair was resumed yes
terday, at the appeal before the full
bench of the Massachusetts supreme
court.
This is considered by many as the
final battle. The appeal is made
against the decision of Judge Thayer
issued last October on the plea for
a new trial based on the .sixty-three
affidavits brought before him which
contained the confession of Maderios,
exonerating Sacco and Vanzetti from
guilt.
Also Thayer disregarded affidavits
showing the part the department Of
justice played in the case.
Renew Famous Case.
Fred Thompson, of the defense, and
his assistant, Ehrman, read before the
court brief, reviewing the history
of the case and the famous Palmer
raids.
Arguing before the full bench to-
day, Thompson showed that Judge
Thayer's decision was full of mistakes
and misstatements as to the facts. He
proved that the decision of the Judge
showed that his feelings became so
involved as to make him incapable of
dealing logically or impartially with
this motion.
Refuted Point BY Point.
Thompson took up the judges de-
cision seriatum and showed his mis-
statements in regards to the jury be-
ing satisfactory to the defendants, to
the manner in which the Judge
charged the Mederios confession was
gotten, and his statement to the jury
as to the defendants unpatriotism
and disloyalty to the country.
He told Of the Maderio's confession
in detail and was corroborated by
other evidence which the Judge did
not take into account, also the evil
dence that the Morreli gang are the
real guilty ones in the murder for
which Sacco and Vanzetti are framed.
Thompson told of the affidavits
dealing with the activities of the de-
partment of justice in the case, how
they assigned twelve men to cover
activities of the defense, how a spy
named Caribono was placed into the
cell next to Sacco, and another named
Ruzamenti, was sent to become a
ledger at Mrs. Sacco's home.
The affidavits showed further that
the department of justice believed
Sacco and Vanzetti to be innocent but
supplied the district attorney with
facts with the hope of getting rid of
them some way.
The refusal of the department of
justice to give access to their docu-
ments in this case was also told by
The lawyer for the defense.
Thompson in his motion for new
rial and rehearing on the motion
which was denied) also demanded
hat if hearing be granted it should
be before another judge as Thayer is
incapable Of being impartial in the
case.
The hearing will continue tomorrow
and after the district attorneys argu-
ment may conclude Saturday.

themselves against gangSCerS, Wh
No Consideration.
The method in which the boss
court metes out "justice" to workers
was seen in the brutal sentences the
strikers were given. Altho never ar
rested before, they were shown no
more consideration than the ordinary
criminal in spite of the fact that they
were arrested when fighting for their
most elementary rights as workers,
and defending themselves against the
boss gangsters and the local police
force.

for ten years, and Nathan LEM,
member of the same local for four

Joseph Pearlman, who has been a
member of Local for fourteen years
and Anton Romanchuck, also a men,
Der of this local for ten years, were
given intermediate sentences of six
months to one year. They were also
charged with assault in the second de-
gree.
Indeterminate Sentences.
Theodore Turetsky was sentenced
to an indefinite tarzn in the peniten-
tiarv.
intermediate sentences of one
month to year and a half were
given to the following:
Anton Kutsuk, Local 35, Charles
Walfish, Local IS, Joseph Kerensky,

Louis Antonozsh and Max Goren-
stein were released on two years pro-
baton while Jacob Levin and Jack
Sharfe were placed on probation for
three years each.
1 No Mercy
While the complainsnt against
Walfish was willing to withdraw the
charge and the jury recommended
mercy, Judge Roalsky Nevertheless
gave him the unusually long sentence
of a year and half. ~
Many relatives and friends of the
accused workers were. present in the
court room when J1dge Rosalsky
handed out the sentences. One wo-
men tainted and had to be taken
home in an ambulance and,many 9th
ers screamed and shouted their dis

destroy merchandise, and / am going
to send you to prison; as "a warning
to you'that you mustnot be identified
with lawlessness." ~
LYMAN Amazed.
Louis .Hymai,S general manager of
the Joint Board said when he heard
of these sentences:
Never in the history Of the labor
movement have such severe sentences
been meted out to workers who have
been engaged in the struggle for bet
ter conditions in their industry.
These men are ordinary workers.
They have never been arrested before.
Sam Cohen and N. LEM, who were
given the heaviest sentences, have
been members of Local for ten and
fourteen years respectively. Every
other man sentenced has been a union
member for years.
