Non-unionism with low wages and
sweatshop conditions Is flouTishing in
Brownsville cloak contracting shops.
This section Of the city has become a
center for small competing contract
shops. There are two or three hun
bred scattered throughout the district
employing about two thousand work.
ers, most of whom are non-union.
Many Of these shops are located in
wooden shaelSs which long ago were
condemned as dangerous fire hazards.
Brownsville Cloak Sweatshops
Visiting such shop ON East New
York Avenue, the writer climbed two
flights Of shaly steps and found no
safety in attempting TO hold on a
broken banister A single gas jet,
Pickering in the lower hall was the
only source Of illumination. A fire
in this timber-box would undoubtedly
result in loss Of many workers lives.
Doors Locked
The doors Of the contractors factory
were locked tight. Only after five min
utes Of persuasion and of assurance
was ] permitted to enter. Here ! was
greeted with a strange sight. Two
men held revolvers in their fists and
another had a large, lead pipe poised
on his shoulders ready to strike any
unwelcome intruders.
The loft was about sixty feet long
and forty feet wide A rank odor,
obviously coming from the toilets,
came to my nostrils as soon as / was
permitted to enter the loft. The
wooden floor was dirty and some Of
the boards were loose. Four small
windows, none open, were the only
visible means Of ventilation.
Five Italian women and two men
were hard at work, never once lifting
their eyes from the garments they
were making. Later I learned from
one Of them that they were non-union
workers and that they earned from
$500 to $500 a week for about So
hours labor.
Dangerous Shop Conditions
This condition was found to be the
same in many other shops that were
visited. Men and women were work.

CROWDS SEE breaking CHAINS" BENEFIT FOR
DEFENSE OF JAILED CLOAKNIAKERS AND FURRIERS

Over six thousand workers saw the
famous motion picture Breaking
Chains" which was presented yester-
day at New Star Casino for the bene-
fit Of the Defense Fund for impris-
oned cloakmakers and furriers.
Before the final showing Of the
picture had taken place last night,
Henry Robbins, chairman Of the De-
Tense Committee, reported that over
$500 had been taken in collections,
and that at every performance tho
hall was crowded with hundreds of
people standing.

DUBINSKY is EXPOSED ON THE 25th
ANNIVERSARY OF LOCAL union 10
The Statement of the Cutters Welfare League 18th
Anniversary of the Cutters Local Union TO- international
Ladies' Garment Workers Union.

The situation created at that time
was such that the dissatisfaction in
the ranks of the cutters almost caus-
ed Dubinsky's resignation Also af-
ter the successful fight of the Joint
Action Committee when all the locals
decided to pay thirty-five cents dues,
Dubinsky demanded of the cutters
forty cents, which demand they also
rejected. AS in the above instance
Dubinsky succeeded by fraud in put
ting thru his proposition.
Total Failure.
Dubinsky can not belittle the
strength Of the progressive opposi-
ton, for the official records in the
local viii prove all his attempts at
annihilating this opposition, which
were total failures. His first at
tempt to rid himself of the progress
siye opposition was made upon his
return from the Boston convention of
the |. l.. G. w. U. He then suspended
for two years the most active men,
bers of the local such as Cooper,
Steinberg and others. for the "crime"
of being part of the progressive
group. Horowich was latter suspend
ed for similar Crime. The final
operation Dubinsky made in order to
rid himself Of the opposition resulted
in &c active members being suspended
from the local. These 26 active mem
bers were suspended for no other
crime than that of being staunch
fighters against his strike-breaking
and betrayal of the cloak and dress
makers as well as against the cutters.
PrOgressives Are Powerful.
At the present the progressive
group represents a powerful and de-
termined opposition which put fear
into the hearts of Dubinsky and his
clique. The progressive cutters group
has for the past four years sunk its
roots deep into the ranks of the cut
ters receiving great support from the
rank and file.
All Of the above facts will surely
not find any place in the speeches
of the Dubinskys and Sigmans and
not in the so-called "history" of Lo-
cal 10 which has been published by
the administration.
The conglomerated underworld
heroes and the poisonous elements
thrown off from the body of the
union who viii be present at the ban
quet are not interested in the above
facts. Their only desire is one bottle
of whisky after another. The cut
ters-rank and fiIe-who lived thru
all the struggles and are really in
terested in the welfare of the union
should certainly have a real celebra-
ton of the 25th anniversary of their
union. A celebration of the cutters
and for the cutters.
Such a celebration will certainly
take place at another occasion in the
near future.
The present celebration is the Du-
binslSy-Sigman clique's last one in the
ranks of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union.

Boston City Council,
lingo League, Secret
Spies, Trail Pioneers

BOSTON, March 27.-BOstOn's
city council has started another red
scare by asking Mayor Nichols and
District Attorney Foley to hunt for
distributors of Communist pampl-
let's among school children in two
working class districts. The In
dustrial Defense Assn. Inc, pro-
fessiOnal patriotic organization,
started Councilman Robert Wilson
on the hunt. Wilson is also seek
ing Governor Fuller's aid through

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-03-28

The cutters of the women's gar
ment industry are now celebrating
the 25th anniversary of the existence
of Local 10. In these 25 years the
cutters local has gone thru many
struggles from which much can be
learned for the future.
In addition to the so-called "his-
tory" of Local 10 as given out by
the present administration much
more can be added to it.
Organized in 1901, Local 10 has
had various administrations. There
were time when Tammany Hall con-
trolled the union. However, rotten
the Tammany Hall administration of
those days was, the rights of the
membership were not violated as is
being done by the present so-cailed
socialist" administration. The Du-
binsky administration has reached
such a state of betrayal and terror
against the membership, that the for
mer Tammany Hall administrations
in comparison with the present were
idealists and good union leaders.
Will Praise Themselves.
At their present celebration the
Abe Cahans and the Sigmans will de-
liver beautiful paens to the Dubinsky
administration for it's empty vic
tories. The main sermon will be de-
livered by the second handed knock
out Dubinsky". He will tell the cut
ters of his great achievements accom-
plished for the workers during the
five or six years in which he was
in office. He will tell them 1901
tales, but he will not tell the truth.
Will Dubinsky tell the cutters Of
the standard of production that he
obtained for them from the bosses
how many of the cutters are getting
the three dollar raise--will he also
speak of his betrayal of the last
agreement? How many cutters will
be deprived of their bread and but
ter? Will he tell of the pogrom that
the International in conjunction with
the administration of Local 10 are
conducting against the cloak and
hIcscAtuhShSs W III ile AletiLlOh WIdJ
results the pogrom has already
brought to the cutters? viii he point
out the hundreds of shops which are
no more employing cutters and where
the bosses themselves became the
cutters? All of the above will sure
IS be forgotten at the jubilee.
His Own Boys.
What Dubinsky will speak of is:
that the cutters have been always
loyal to his majesty, and in regard to
the progressive group, that they do
not exist. 1t will not be difficult
for him because those who will be
gathered at the celebration will ac-
cept anything from him as virgin
truth. The squeelers of Long Island,
the decayed element of the cloak
makers union and the gangsters of
Beckerman will swallow everything
shat Dubinsky utters, hook line and
siuier.
What are the real facts regarding
the loyalty of the cutters to their
beloved" manager? When we look
back to 1924 when the international
officials forced upon the membership
the fifty cent dues we find that Du-
binsky on August IS, 1924 with his
executive, came to the local meeting
with the recommendation for fifty
cent dues. After all his pleadings
the membership Indignantly rejected
the recommendations. Only thru
fraud could the administration force
upon the workers the fifty. cent dues
at another meeting August rs, 1924.

Verify, a strange and incon- gruous situation has arisen in the North. A free people, authorized to work out their own governmental salvation, yet finding themselves hamstrung and shackled at every turn they make to free themselves of membranes, and even blocked from entrance to the one tribunal provided by the American Constitu- tion for the adjudication of their rights. And yet four Alaskan Sen ators and seven representatives pre- ferred the present board of control, which is responsible for these de- plorable conditions, to one to be selected by the people of the Terri tory for the protection of their in- terests.

STR HUGH DENNTSON

Main Features of Speech Before The
 Skagway Chamber of Commerce
 Sir Hugh stated that he had been requested by the chairman to give his idea as to what was the matter with Skagway and what might be done to improve the situation here. It was his opinion that the U. s. Government had no apparent inter est in the development of this dis trict and that if the people of Skag- way wished to improve their con- ditions he made the following sug- gestions.:
 1st That the people of Skagway endeavor through their representa- tive to Congress, to have the Town of Skagway and the Skagway val ley leased for a long period of years to the Canadian Government for the purpose of using same as a port for the development of the Yukon and northern British Columbia.
 Tn this connection he stated that at present we had only around 10000 tourists a year while with proper handling we should really

Why should Judge Wicker sham or any other private citizen be compelled to prosecute these cases before the courts in the in- terest of the people if they desire to correct the present conditions? If offices under the Territorial Gov ernn-ent are held illegally, or if money is appropriated from the Treasury of the Territory in viola tion of the provisions of the Or ganic Act, why should not the pro- secution lie with the individual who represents, in a legal capacity, the people who elected him? The ans- wer is that he is denied quo war ranto authority before the courts by officials Bureaucrats. He is de- nied the privilege of exercising the powers conferred on him by the legislature whereby he could protecr the rights of the humblest citizen in the courts. He is denied the privilege of appearing before the Bureaus in the interest of Terri.

 The argument is put forward that the meal is used for the raising of chickens in California and other states. Herring the natural food of the chickens but herring natural food of the salmon and halibut. It would in order for Alaskans to attempt to preserve conserve food for their fisheries than to furnish fodder California chickens Other food be found for the bird but there is no substitute for the salmon.
