pany union where everything is de-
termined by the boss thru his own
representatives A company union is
good for both; the union official is
guaranteed secure job, the boss is
guaranteed against workers struggle.
Both companions strive to ride on the
back Of the workers.
Right Wing Weakens.
"Now when it has already become
clear to everybody that the forces of
the right wing are becoming weaker,
that the Sigmans and VOLS have not
accomplished their aim, that bicker<
ings and riffs are destroying their
own ranks, that their credit and their
prestige are on the wane, the time
has come to halt the hand of the po-
grom-makers. The time has come to
end the vicious attack on our funda-
mental interests. With united forces,
with new energy, with new faith we
are now starting to free ourselves of
the black affliction.
Build Up Shop Organization.
1--WE must first of all build up the
organizations in the shops. Wherever
Sigman and the bosses have succeed
ed in eliminating our elected shop
chairmen and chairladies, new cleo
tions must be held. If resistance is
offered we must fight for our right
to elect shop representatives.
eve must re-establish union con-
ditions in the shops. We must stop
the sweating system. We must OPP
pose piece-work with all our might.
We know that this cannot be achieved
without fight. But only thru the
fight will the workers establish their
rights.
eve must combine the activities of
the shops among themselves and with
the Joint Board of the cloak, dress
and furriers' unions, because only
through united forces can we improve
our conditions.
Understand Their Plans.
eve must make impossible the
union of the right wing leaders with
the bosses. We must show the right
wing leaders that we understand
their pogrom work and that we will
not tolerate their betrayal. We must
show the bosses that the aid of the
right wing cliques is of no avail to
them. We must insist on our right
to organize in our own way and to
defend our vital interests.
eve must conduct our work in
close unity between the cloakmakers,
the dressmakers, the furriers and
other fighting workers. We must re-
member that the more workers of the
same trade are united the stronger
is their organization and the better
is the outlook for victory. In our
daily practice we must lay the foun-
dation for the amalgamation of all
the needle trades into one big union
eve must regain our right to elect
our own leaders who are necessary
for US and not for the bosses.
Hold Elections.
'NeW elections must be held among
the cloakmakers, dressmakers and
furriers, in order that the workers
and the whole world may finally see
as clearly as possible what the needle
workers wish, what policies they are
ready to pursue, what line of action
they deem right. The workers have
right to new elections. They must
insist on a free expression of their
will In order that there may be no
doubt in the minds of ANYBODY and in
order that their will may be expressed
with perfect freedom, they must in
sist on .non-partisan supervision of
their elections.
Brothers and sisters, only thus
can we put an end to the pogrom.
Only thus can we save our unions.
