LABOR
BUYING BONDS TO
AID UNIONS HERE
Financial Aid Comes
From All Sections

With a check for $700 received yes
terday, Chicago completed the pur-
chase of $4,000 worth Of cloakmak-
ers' bonds in one week.
This splendid record follows the
arrival of A. Weiss, one Of the Joint
Board business agents, in Chicago,
and shows how completely the dress
makers and other workers Of the
windy city understand the present
critical situation in the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union.
Weiss has been in Chicago only ten
days and the splendid response to
the bond appeal there is giving fresh
impetus to other parts of the country.
From all sections the r. A. I. c..
shares are coming in large numbers.
During the past week 1920 worth of
bonds have been purchased by Dallas,
Texas. Branch 35 of the Workmen's
Circle has bought 1926 worth Of
bonds; SOS has come from the Los
Angeles Young Mems Association,
and $25 from the Lithuanian Working
Women's Alliance. The Freiheit Sing
ing Society has, so far, raised S700
and this group of young workers is
still keeping up its good work.
Workers Buying Bonds.
Renewed interest in the "Save the
Cloakmakers' Union" bond issue is
being displayed in the shops too, and
in addition to large contributions from
several shops, smaller payments are
being made regularly each week for
the purchase of bonds. The workers
realize that the fund must be kept
growing in order to take care of the
imprisoned strikers and their families.
The majority of the bonds already
purchased have now been mailed out
and if ayone in New York has not
received his bond he should call for
it at the office of Local %, 16 West
21st Street, at once.
The slogan of the cloak and dress
makers now is every Bond Holder
a New Bond Purchaser" and in adj
dition to buying a new bond. each
subscriber is being urged to sell one
to friend. In this way the $3.50, 900
mark will soon be reached, and the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union viii be once for all rescued
from those treacherous officials who
have tried to destroy it.

CHAIRMEN
PLAN DRIVE FOR
DEFENSE FUNDS
Cloak, Dressmakers to
Hold District Meetings

A constructive and comprehensive
program to combat disintegration of
the cloak and dressmakers union was
outlined in resolutions adopted at q
meeting of shop chairmen Of the in
dustry held in Manhattan Lyceum,
So East 4th Street, after work on
Thursday. The meeting was under
the auspices Of the Council of Shop
Chairmen.
The plans call for a series Of dis
trict and general mass meetings in
the residence sections of the cloak
and dressmakers, an active drive for
defense funds for the imprisoned cloak
makers, and a drive for sale of "Save
the Union" bonds. It particularly calls
for an active campaign against the
open shop menace which has devel-
oped in the industry due to the weak
ening of the union by President Sig
mans expulsion policy and betrayals
of the workers to the bosses in his
attempt to gain control of the union.
Reaffirm Loyalty to Joint Board.
Workers who have been forced to
register with the International are
urged to reaffirm their loyalty to the
Joint Board and to pay dues to the
Joint Board. That there are many
such workers, who, fearing to lose
their jobs. after the exhaustion Of the
long strike, yielded to the threats of
the International and the bosses and
registered, although their sympathy
and loyalty lies with the Joint Board
has been proved to Joint Board lead
ers, according to statements Of Louis
Hyman, manager. Many of them have
explained the situation to Joint Board
leaders, but are loyal and pay their
dues to the Joint Board in spite Of
their registration, Hyman declared.
To meet this situation, the Shop
Chairmen's Council will carry on an
intensive drive to unity all such work
ers under the leadership of the Joint
Board.
Just as the meeting was closing a
group of furriers, headed by Ben
Gold, general manager Of the Fur
riers Joint Board, entered the hall
with greetings from the fur workers
who had just been meeting in Cooper
Union.
An enthusiastic demonstration
broke out as soon as Gold appeared,
and continued while he and small
group of furriers made their way to
the platform. More than a hundred
other members of the delegation were
unable to enter Manhattan Lyceum
because the hall was so crowded, but
they held a demonstration of their
own outside and pledge their support
to the Furriers' Joint Board and the
Joint Board of the Cloak and Dress
makers.
Among the speakers att he shop
chairmen's meeting were Louis Hy-
man, Joseph Boruchowitz, Joseph
Goretzky, L Brauner and five other
members of the shop chairmen's
council.

DUCHEN PICKETS
FREED BY JUDGE;
STRIKE GAINING
All Skilled Workers
Are Out Now
BY SIDNEY HAUER

Three strikers who were arrested
while peacefully picketing in front of
the Duchen Mill at 2402 Atlantic
Ave, Brooklyn, Monday morning on
the charge of disorderly conduct were
acquitted by Judge haubert of the
Jersey Avenue Court Wednesday
morning.
Upon several occasions the police
intelfered with the picketing of the
strikers issuing an ultimatum to the
effect that no picketing would be al
lowed in front of the Duchen Mill.
They insisted that the strikers carry
no signs or other evidence of the
fact that the Duchen Mill was on
strike.
The strike was called by Knit
Goods Workers Local 55 of the
United Textile Workers after two
strikers were fired for belonging to
the union. The grievances are dis
elimination and victimization of
union members. The union is de-
manding of the Duchen mill: 1)Re-
cognition of the union. p Reinstate-
ment of the discharged union men.
81 No discrimination. d The forty
four hour week.
Endure Police Persecution.
In spite Of the fact that the work.
ers did not go outside the bounds Of
legal and peaceful picketing they
were arrested and force to endure
police persecution which ended IN
their trial before Judge Haubert of
the New Jersey Ave. Court.
If anything was needed to openly
Justify the cause of the strikers this
victory has done so. They have taken
heart from it and are taking part on
the picket line with more militancy
than ever before.
The Duchen Mill is entirely crippl-
ed. All of the skilled union members
have left the shop and it will not be
long before it is closed from base
ment to roof and all operations cease.
The remaining workers who are
mostly young and extremely exploit
ed girls are rapidly joining the ranks
OF the union.
This strike is of particular signifi-
canoe to the 10000 knit-goods work
ers throughout Greater New York.
The union is actively engaging in
membership and organizational drive
in all departments of the trade. Fs-
pecially is this of significance to the
Roschel workers in the trade.
1t is imperative that all members
of the trade in New York join the
union now so that the splendid work
of organizing and winning for the
workers the right to union and bet
ter conditions, may more effectively
and powerfully be carried on.
