ADMITS
RIGHT WINCERS
DISCHARGE men


Attempts of the international to
conceal its policy of causing garment
workers who refused to register with
the Joint Board to be discharged
were uncovered when one Of the most
prominent employers in New York
was interviewed by a reporter.
In the shop Of Reisman, Rothman
and Bieber, 521 West 57th street,
three workers we're discharged some
weeks ago, and the Joint Board,
charging that they were discharged
at behest Of the International be-
cause they refused to register allie
glance there, called a strike at the
shop.
On last Wednesday the workers Of
the shop, the largest manufacturers
Of children's coats in the industry,
were called to meeting at the Rand
School by the international, where
they were addressed by David Dublin
sky, car Of the cutters union, ac-
cording TO a report appearing in the
Freiheit.
Dubinsky appealed to them for
funds for the support Of the Inter
national and declared that the Inter
national had not been responsible for
the discharge of the three fellow
workers, but that Mr.. Reisman, part
ner in the firm, had discharged them
against the policy of the Interna-
tional. With this alibi he hoped to
convince the workers that the Inter-
national was the friend of the work
ers and entitled to their support.
When a reporter approached Mr..
Reisman on the matter, the state
ment of Dubinsky was shown to be
entirely false. In answer to a ques-
ton as to the discharge of the three
workers. Mr.. Reisman said, 1.-THE
workers Of the shop held meeting,
their leaders spoke, and it was de-
cided that the three workers must
be sent down.
"The shop chairman told me that
the other workers feared that trou-
BILE would arise in the shop so that
we might be forced to close down,
and declared that they would not
work with the three left wing sympa-
thizers".
Behind the careful phrasing of
this statement can be seen the truth
of the situation. The Sigman clique
in the shop, no doubt acting under
express orders, frightened the other
workers with vague threats of
"shut down" or in other words a
lockout, and inundated them into
a decision that the three workers
must be discharged.

SOCIALIST MANAGER SHIPLACOFF
GIVES LESSON IN DEMOCRACY

After four weeks of elaboration
Shiplacoff and his adjutants finally
reached decision regarding num-
Der of workers who were charged
with having attended the historical
mass meeting called by the Joint
Board of the Cloakmakers and Fur
riers. From the information we have
gathered, it is clear that the clique
could make up their minds as to
what to do with these criminals"
To Answer Charges
AS far back as February 9th a
great number of workers were sum.
monsod to answer to charges. When
the members came to the Union they
were told the codmittee can not meet.
All of sudden the majority Of that
committee took sick. The following
week they were called again and the
anne thing happened.
Grievance Board
Last Wednesday the first few vic
inns of the number that was origin
ally called were notified to appear be-
fore the Grievance Board on the same
day. These few consisted of B. Wal

this wavering and delay, and finally

few at the line out of the big num-
bers that was originally called proves
that these irresponsible officials have
no case, and also that they fear going
too far.
The way the trial was conducted
is an interesting study of socialist
democracy as understood by our big
guy Shiplacoff. Suffice to say tina,
these members defended themselves
against dumb ears. In their defense
they stated that the union has no
right to question its members as
what they do or did after working
hours. They claimed that it is their
own affair and can go where they
please.
After this hearing the members
were sent out and Immediately called
back to hear the decision. Taffer is
suspended and fined with $25 Citver
who has been suspended a few
months ago was fined with $50, Roth
man who was fined only a few weeks
ago with 500 and kept out of work
for three weeks was fined again with
S25. The other cases they postponed
for formality's sake for next week.
This how the family of victories keep
growing render the socialist man
ager.

In the fertile mind of this gentle
man, now known to oily fame, is
said to have been born the inspira-

Interborough Company Union. There
is a rumor Of certain differences of
opinion which at the time arose be-
tween Mr.. Ivy Lee and Mr.. Quack-
enbush, chief legal light of the In
terborough, over the advisability of
introducing any form Of mass organ
ization. Mr.. Quackenbush was then
and is no less now, an advocate of
less benevolent methods in dealing
with employees. The company union
together with a special form of "yel-
low-dog" contract was installed,
however, and even Mr.. Quackenbush
has had no reason to complain be-
cause of any lack of its effective
ness. In fact so effectively has it
operated that on several occasions
as viii be shown later, it has YER
