the mass meeting in Union Square

displayed by the striking miners and
their courageous determination to
fight for the right to organize is find

Sigman Against Unity.
Brauner told how, after Sigman
and his right wing allies had sus-
pended the New York Joint Board,
he together with the shop chairmen' s
council attempted to restore unity in
the organization. At meeting at
Manhattan Lyceum on Jan. 3, 1927,
shop chairmen registered from 932

Sigman and Hyman to be present,
he said, but Sigman did not appear.
Later attempts were just as unsuc-

FALSE RUMORS OF
UKRAINE REVOLT
FROM R0UMANIA
Alb. Cahan of Forward
Admits Story Absurd

Rumors of a "bloody revolt" in
Ukraine directed against the Soviet
Union carried in an Associated Press
despatch which appeared in yester-
days night edition of the New York
Evening Post travelling circuitously
from Bucharest, Rumania, are disre-
garded here
That the report is pure fiction was
generally agreed in various quarters
yesterday. In the same despatch was
contained the information that "the
Soviet government at Moscow had
flatly denied these reports"
Under a local date-line the Post
printed an interview with Abraham
Cahan, socialist editor of the Jewish
Daily Forward, who declared
can armed rebellion in the Ukraine
is impossible and absurd. The report
today emanated from Rumania and
it is obviously an inspired and prob
ably, fabulous account"
When called on the telephone by
representative of The DAILY WORK
Err, Cahan, who has just returned
from a three-months' visit to the
Soviet Union, denied the validity Of
the POSTS observation that "Mr. Ca
han, with a regretful hand, today
threw cold water on cabled reports
that all the Ukraine is in savage re-
volt against Soviet Rule"
Cahan explained that the report is
on its face absurd. Furthermore, /
would consider a revolt against the
Soviet Union very unfortunate"
He also denied categorically that
he had said to the Post reporter that
"the people (of Ukraine) themselves
do not like the Soviet government, but
they are helpless"
What he did say, he declared, was
that 'the Ukraine has won what it
sought. Altho member of the Soviet
Union, it is almost a separate entity
nearly state"
The Opposition.
Everybody in Soviet Rua a treat
ed me NICE" Cahan told The DAILY
WORKER yesterday on the telephone.
II hope you people do so, too, and
please quote me correctly"
Cahan expressed his regret that the
Trotsky Opposition was unable to
continue its activities within the Rus
sian Party by declaring that IAN OPP
position that counts at all is an OPP
position with the party itself.

six dead and many wounded was the
answer of the Colorado Fuel & Iron

must accept the challenge. By their
attendance at the Union Square mass
meeting they will prove to the en-
ployers and their thugs their solidar-
ity with the miners of bloody Colo

York to protest against the slaugh-
ter perpetrated by the Colorado

Anti-Fascist Speaks.
Carlo Tresca: Every class con-
scious worker in New York should be
at Union Square today to protest
against the murder of six striking
miners in Colorado. These bestial
class murders will continue as long
as the masses of workers in the
United States remain unorganized."

nesses for the defense. They included
NJ. Backall, Chicago correspondent
of the Freiheit; Hyman Epstein,
Isadore Brauner, chairman of the
shop chairmen's council of the Cloak
and Dressmakers union, and H.
Cohen, an active member of the
Cloakmakers' union.
/ Backal was the first witness called
when the case opened at 1870 a. M
Under examination by Brodsky he
told how he visited Storm Lake, Ia,
on two occasions last summer to in
vestigate Sigman's amusement park
there.
Owned By Sigman.
Backall also told the court investi-
cation of the deeds showed Sigman
owned the cottages. He also pointed
out that Mr.. Shelter, president of
the Citizens National Bank of Storm
Lake, had informed him that Sigman
had invested over $4,000 in the
amusement park. At previous ses-
sions of the trial Sigman attempted
to minimize the amount of money
he had invested in the park, which is
conducted with non-union labor.
Hyman On Stand.
The next witness was Hyman. Re-
ferring to the 1926 cloakmakers
strike, which Sigman branded as
illegal when he settled" with the
employers after % weeks, Hyman
had favored its being called when
comforting with the Joint Board Of
ficials, headed by Hyman, general
manager.
Hillquit Wrote Resolution.
Hyman pointed that before the
strike was called he and Sigman went
to see Morris Hillquit, counsel for
| the International Ladies Garment
Workers Union, who informed them
that a strike vote taken at Madison
Square Garden membership meeting
would comply with the union consti-
tuition. Hillquit then wrote strike
resolution, which was later adopted
at Madison Square Garden, Hyman
testified. When Sigman was on the
stand earlier in the hearing he con-
tended the Garden" vote was illegal
and that he had opposed it. Hill
quits resolution was produced in
court yesterday as evidence.
Hyman also testified that Sigman
spoke at the meeting in favor of
calling the strike.
Spoke For Strike.
"Sigman spoke in favor Of the
strike at all Joint Board meetings"
Hyman said in answering question
by defense counsel.
The witness then told how Sigman,
without bringing charges against
Joint Board officials, superseded
their power and made a so-called
settlement with the employers.
Hyman next told how Sigman with
the cooperation of the employers
caused the discharge of all workers
who refused to register with the dual
unions set up by Sigman. In their
places Sigman sent men and women
who had paid 80 cents for a So
called union book, Hyman continued.
These included many former scabs,
Hyman pointed out.
Betrayed Workers.
"Sigman's action was looked upon
as betrayal by the mass of cloak and
dressmakers," stated Hyman.
eve could not continue the strike
when the international officials act
ed as betrayers. The workers finally
had to return to the shops under any
conditions the employers wanted to
give"

Tea COINS Of Yesferyeuy G1Ue My to
Sb0,7s Costumes Of To-Day
By HARRIET

Once upon a time the closets of the
maid and matron who pretended to
know the slightest thing about fash
ion were filled with curious garments
called tea gowns.
Tea gowns were a cross between a
negligee and a ball gown. They
frothed with bows and ruchings and
headings and ruffles and lace. Trains,
guaranteed to make the wearer re-
sernble a duchess crossed with movie
vamp, abounded.
But where are the tea gowns Of
yesteryear? They have given the
way to the sports costumes of today.
Suzanne's Pronouncement
Suzanne Lenglen, / believe, who
masses for as much of a fashion as
tennis authority, says that . woman
could have a wardrobe of nothing but
sports and evening costumes and be
an exceedingly well-dressed woman.
Sports costumes may be worn cor
rectly for practically any daytime af-
fair, barring possibly garden party
and a very swanky tea.

in smart hotel tea rooms in the aft
ernoon, at bridge parties, and at
lunch.
am not sure that the general
fashion rule which says sports cos
tunes may be worn at most any day
time affair makes the dressing prob
lem any easier for women than in the
days before sports attire was so ae-
cepted.
Costumes and Costumes
For there are sports costumes and

would not be correct at a formal tea,
nor a tailored suit on the tennis court,
though, strictly speaking, both come
IN the sports wear class
If your sport activities are not so
numerous that you need outfits for
golf, tennis, riding, ct al, but It you
want just one or two good snappy
street sports outfits nothing could be
a better choice this spring than one
Of the short plated skirts worn with
short little jackets of solid color
matching the stripe or plaid OF the
skirt. Blue and white checked, striped
or plaid skirts with solid blue jacket
make fetching ensemble, as do black
and white and beige and brown COM
binations.
Plain old-fashioned tailored suits
are back this year as they have not
been for several seasons. Blue, as
usual, is the best color. But the really
chic woman will catch the newer note
with contrasting skirt and jacket.
Black Velvet Jackets
The younger girls will flaunt the
ducky little black velvet jackets
worn with brief pleated or plain
skirts.
