Right and Left Wing Forces and Methods in the
International Ladies' Garment Workers

TT there Is such thing as whistling
L to keep up ones courage, Justice,
the Official organ of the right wing
of the International Ladies' Garment
Workers, must be in continual pain
from pursed lips.
It claims a tremendous success for
the registration" Of cloakmakers I'M
der Sigman auspices-the plan by
which the right wing hoped to break
the ranks of the cloakmakers, an over
whelming majority of whom are sup
porting the regularly elected New

JUSTICE says:
- According to figures given out
by the international office nearly H.

ICED Locals 2, 9, % and 35, in addI-
tion to the 1900 workers already
in the locals which never were un-
der Communist domination--1o, %,
4S and 80.
The cold fact is that not to exceed
8 500 workers have registered at the
right wing offices.
A MOTHER fact is that the locals
"A cited by Justice as supporting the
right wing have not $4,000 members
all together. 10000 is a very generous
estimate and in addition there is the
fact that these local unions all have
strong left wing bIocs.
There are $4,000 members OF the

take the inflated figures of Justice

If we take the correct figures-12,
600 and 35,OO0-we get 1880 support

DUT as we said before. the RICH

the left wing workers. In all RICH

THE right wing leadership is bank

by injections of militant reaction by
Matthew WollS the Daily Forward and
the capitalist press and by financial
support from sources, which when eX-
posed as they will be, will create a
new scandal in the labor movement.
The left wing, in contrast TO the
shady financial policy of the reac-
tionary and discredited Sigman OIL

loan to meet the immediate emergency
created by the attack of the right
wing coming at the end of bitter and
costly strike.
THIS emergency will last until the

is fully guaranteed by the New York

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. - In the
presence of Senator Reed, democrat
Of Missouri. chairman of the campaign
fund committee, an agreement was
signed to impound all the votes cast
in the last Pennsylvania senatorial
election between William S. Ware and
William B. Wilson.
Is First Step.
This is the first step toward in
vestigating the election of Ware in
November, which 1t is confidently ex-
pected will result in his being barred
from the senate. The Reed committee
as already uncovered expenditures OF
more than $3,OOOOOO in the primary
campaign, and the impounding OF the
ballots means that crookedness in
counting votes, ballot box stuffing, and
other election frauds will be probed.

No comment would be made by
Ware on the action of the senate, but
his campaign manager. Harry Mackey
declared that ware will welcome this
investigation" 1--WE want to show the
world that a Pennsylvania election

TO SAVE SACCO AND VANZETTl; ALL
GROUPS ACTIVE IN THEIR DEFENSE
BY c. MEYER,
BY a Worker Correspondent.

BY a worker Correspondents
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. 49, - Tho
there are no anarchists in Milwaukee
who are initiating a move for the free
dom of Sacco and Vanzetti, protests
are being heard from various parts OF
the labor movement-which may in
the future develop into a special Sac
co and vanzetti conference in Mil
waukee.
Members of the International La
Dor Defense, of course, are doing
their work toward the distribution OF
leaflets at meetings and picnics.

Trades Council calls upon the Wiscon
sin senators and congressman at
Washington to make an investigation.
Robert M. LaFollette and Victor L.
Berger have been called upon The
local press-capitalis and labor-and
publications in general here have also
helped to properly advertise the case
as a "frame-up."
Besides trying to "Popularize tlGs
Frame-up" some individuals Of Mil
waukee have kept in personal touch
with Vanzetti who instead of being
cheered is cheering his correspond
ents on the outside.
Demand Investigation.

Federated Trades Council demands
lin the name of justice than an i'm
mediate investigation be made by the
congress of the United States Of the

the connection of the department Of

Whereas, 1t has become apparent
during the last few weeks that the
Coolidge administration is taking
drastic action in the Nicaraguan in
ternal affairs which would be con-
strued as an act % war If directed
against none powerful national; and
whereas, Both the acts of the gov

a way as is likely to bring war with

Congress Left Out.
Whereas, The acts of the president

The designations will result IN

Locals Forced Probe.
The whole matter has been brought
about through the cooperation OF the
Butte unions of the international and

about 1000 of the 5000 members OF
The International, were about to with

Until last June there had been nc

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-The Ameri-

airy organizations here, have issued
toint statement in which they attack
the Citizens Union, composed OF lead
ing New York residents, for backing
the demand of the American Civil
Liberties League for an "old fashioned
free speech, meeting at Stuyvesant
school house. These organizations
charge that the letter written by the
Citizens Union to the commissioner
OF education In defense of the Civil
Liberties League was ''prejudiced and
biased"
The reason they give for the. bias of
the union is that Walter Frank, mem
Der Of the union, is contributor to
the league. They charge that Frank
was the author of the letter.

Then the trio attacks the league,
declaring the free speech means TO

Commissioner Frank Graves is now
considering the appeal of the Civil
Liberties League from the decision oil
the board of education which denied II
the use of the school building for the
meeting.
The secretary OF the Citizens Union
has issued counter-statement, declar

worker Correspondent)

NEW lOhK. Jan. 1S.-"The gov
eminent OF Soviet Russia has laid
basis for the solution Of the race
problem" This was the verdict OF
Dr.. w. e. B. Du Bots, leader of the
National Association for the Ad-
yancement Of the Colored People,
who spoke here tonight at an open
forum meeting. DR.. Du Bots recently
travelled in Russia, and had oppor-
tunity to study the race problem in
that country.

st is significant" he stated, that,
when Negro passes along the street
in Paris, he is the object of polite
interest, in Berlin he is a curiosity,
in London an inferior Colonial but
in Moscow he is just an ordinary
person, and does not suffer inquisi-
tory glances,"
He related that, on arrival at Kron.
stad and Leningrad, he found these
cities to be industrious and peaceful;
later on, while in Moscow, he read in
the New York Times, that during the
very days that he was in Leningrad,
those cities were the scenes OF ter
rible industrial and political upheav-
ais. causing the editors of the Times
to predict the immediate fall of the
Soviet regime.
Intelligence Shown.
DR.. Du Bots showed that Russia
tho one of the most heterogeneous o.
all nations, has less race disturbance
than any other country.
"The Soviet government shows it'
Intelligence and tolerance by permit
ting each racial country within Rus
STA to have it's own autonomy. Th'
schools. tho built and maintained b.
the government, are permitted Il
teach their own racial language, thu
only demand of the government Il
that the Russian language must als'
be taught, so that the future genera
ton will be able to speak an all-Rus
sian language, a pre-eminent neces
sity for the unifcation of the reput
lie. Thus Russia is accomplishing
with patience and intelligence, tina
which other countries have tried to d
by forcible methods, and failed in.
These were some of the interestin
points brought out by the speaker.
Compared With U. s.
Comparing the race problem of s.
Wet Russia with that of the Unite
States, Dn Bots deplored the fact th;
the position OF the American Negro
so disadvantageous, that as rae
minority, the Negro suffers the into
erance of both the white capitalists
. we'll as of many white workers. N
gro lynching, tho of common occu
renee, is hardly protested against
the white population" he said, "aI

: speaker pointed out lies directly vii
