Petty Bourgeois Ambitions.

Petty Bourgeois Ambitions.
In organized shops manned by
highly skilled mechanics, whore the
staffs must be reduced, the union
either loses the shop in the course Of
struggle against the bosses, as at
Milgrom Bros, or there is only short
season employment, and usually the
younger element drops out or the
union yields to a reduction Of forces
and changes in production methods
in one form or another.
Thus there remain in the old or
ganized shops the old-time mechanics,
each grown into old habits and tradi-
tions, fearful that he may be the next
one to be thrown out Of employment
as result of these changes in in
dustry, and having some savings, not
caring for the future Of the union
as long as his immediate JOB is not
endangered. Another few years and
he may have enough saved to go into
some small business, some have in
vestments in various kinds of bust
ness even now. This is the FREEDOM
inant type amongst the organized
mechanics, the old-timers in the
trade.
About Three-Quarters Lost.
There are only about 500 of them
in the trade out of about 5000 once
in the tailors' union, and out Of these
there are about 300 that work in
modernized shops. 1t was for years
the habit of this union, whose mem
bers work in establishments full Of
unorganized needle workers Of the
same trade, working on wraps
gowns, dresses, to get conditions for
themselves at the expense of these
unorganized highly exploited female
workers, on the promise that they
would not attempt to organize them
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-01-28

In the last few years, however, due
TO the extraordinary simpification OF
styles, the female workers at $40 per
week became strong competitors, and
were used by the employers to do the
very work the proud ladies' tailors
thought could only be done by them
at sos per week This went so far
that several firms practically cut out
their tailoring departments or cut
them down to only few tailors.
The fur trade also invaded the win
ter season Of the ladies' tailors by the
change in styles towards rich fur
coats instead Of winter coats made
OF cloth.
Left Wing Arrives.
This is the situation the left wing
found when it started to work among
these fashionable garment workers.
The first step was to bring thu re-
naming locals of ladies tailora and
costume dressmakers together, which
was done through the teamwork of
the I. U. f. l.. groups in both locals
The two locals amalgamated, having
a combined membership Of about one
thousand. In the ensuing elections
in the combined local, the left wing
won out by about 30 votes supported
by the majority of the Italians who
are organized in a separate section,
