RUSH FUNDS TO
joint board OF
GARMENT UNION
Gratifying Response"
Says POrtnOy

Workers from all trades and from
all sections Of the country are flock
ing to the support Of the left wing
cloaklnakers by subscribing to the
$25O,O5O loan which the New York
Joint Board is asking, according to
the returns that have come in this
week end.
More than $50 unions, clubs and
workmen's circles have already joined
the rank and file in their struggle
against the InternationaPs corrupt
leadership
Money Coming In.
Two thousand dollars from Chicago,
$500 from Los Angeles, $3.50 from
Minneapolis, $500 from st. Louis, and
contributions from scores Of smaller
cities have come in this week end in
response to the cloakmakers' appeal
for aid. If money continued to come
in at the present rate, the campaign
will be successfully concluded in b
very short time, according to julius
Portnoy, who is in charge of the bond
issue.
The contributions from other sec
tions of the country have come in as
a result of the strenuous campaign
Of Max Levine, formerly ehairman-of
the Philadelphia Joint Board, B.
Cooper, and S. Fox, who are touring
the country, and rallying workers in
other cities to the support of their
New York comrades
1.-THE response to the cloakmakers'
appeal for help has been very crafty
ing" said julius Portnoy, in COM
menting on last weeks returns, "but
the sooner our friends subscribe the
better Every dollar that we receive
supplies us with ammunition to fight
reactionaries like Sigman, Dubinslky
and Ninfo."
The bonds are issued in S25. $50,
500 and $500 denominations and ma

Bosses Methods.
The application for an injunction is
the elimination Of a hectic week dur

been attempting by all methods to
put their lackey, Milton Corbett in
the office of business agent, from
which he had been driven after the
members had found out that he had
been taking 'loans" from the bosses

which could prove it.
Last Thursday, a committee consist.

over the union office by force. Fail

place would prevail in the union until
few individuals should go TO ieil
The committee asked him, as that

talking" and he persisted, "That is
the only way there will be peace in
the union"
When the committee objected
against his appointing officers, the
president stated that after he had the
union, he would hold elections. but
now he cannot trust the members to
choose officers.
He promised the committee that no
compulsory registration would be put
through. Now, of course, he is using
the black jack and dagger to compel
registration

Secretly Moved.
One of these manufacturers. the
Lee Gore Shoe Company, located at

still further. 1t has secretly, at mid
night carried out materials and ma

already existing open shop by the

AS soon as the workers learned of
the plans they Immediately called
strike and have been picketing the
shop for a few weeks. When the Lee
Gore firm merged with Tull and Cor
don, they Immediately announced that
no union man would be allowed to
remain on the job, and those who
were union men We're discharged. The
workers, unable to endure the wages
and conditions any longer, finally de-
clared strike, and as soon as pick
cts appeared on the line, four pickets
and two representative of the union
were arrested, but were released with
out bail. The bosses, however. Sc

workers from picketing the shop.

Though we expect a speedy and
favorable decision, yet whatever the
decision may be, VIC are determined
to renew this struggle with greater
energy than ever before to show the
bosses that their schemes will not be
successful and if they want to pro-
duce shoes they will have to deal with
the union.
SHOE WORKERS! Do not be mis-
led because there are no pickets. Stay
away from the Lee Gore Shoe Co.,
