SIGMAN SHOWN
HE CAN'T FIRE
CLOAK WORKERS

The cloak shop Of Fishelbere Broth
ers, at 222 West 9th Street, was
again the scene of an attack by right
wing gangsters upon the left wing
pickets, yesterday morning, and the
result was an announcement by the
boss that he intends to end this lock-
out at once, whether the officials of
the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union like it or not.
Early yesterday morning, two scabs
surrounded by 10 gangsters managed
to get into the Fishelberg shop. Out
side there was a great demonstration
of workers, at least 1000 Of them,
picketing the shop in protest and de-
manding the reinstatement Of Henry
Turk who was discharged at Sigman's
request few days ago.
Shortly after the scabs reached the
shop, the boss came down and stated
to the workers Of his shop who were
on the picket line. that he refused to
have in his shop bunch of gangsters
who would steal everything they
could lay their hands on. He an
nounced he was going to tell the In
ternational that, and it is expected
that the shop-with all its original
workers-will be back at work on
Monday.
Turk Member of 80.
During the picket demonstration,
several workers who had been scab-
bling at the Hogo Dress Company in
this same building were persuaded
not to go to work. This was the Sec
ond day of mass demonstration at
this building following the discharge,
the reinstatement, and the re-dis-
charge of Henry Turk. He had been
singled out not only because he re-
fused to register, but because he is
a member Of Sigman's own local and
was active in opposing his gangster-
ism in Local IS.
During the demonstration at Fish
elbergs, Edward F. McGrady, head
of the A. f. OF L. Reorganization
Committee in the Furriers' Union,
came by and was recognized by the
workers.
McGrady Booed.
"Squealer, squelear," cried the
workers as soon as they saw him.
And followed by these cries, and by
the whole two thousand workers he
hastily retreated from 9th Street.
1t is very hard for these reactionary
right wing leaders to maintain their
dignity when they come face to face

at the last convention the capmakers'
delegates were the only ones to favor
recognition of Soviet Russia and they
felt ridiculous when all the other dele
gates stood up in opposition to this
motion. And their action in this mat
ter was used against them when they
went organizing in out-of-town cities.
They must be careful how they took
stand opposed to the A. F. of L.
A. F. L. Probing Camps.
And then when it had been decided
to leave the delegates to act at their
own discretion, speaker brought out
the fact that the A. F. of l.. had al
ready had d committee investigate the
c. M. 7. c. and it was found that they
were not military but physical train
ing camps, and there was no danger
that the men trained there would be
used against workers during a strike.
So once more the capmallers and
milliners submit to the will of the
A. r. of L.
Condemn Furri Sentences.
The convention passed unanimously
a resolution protesting against the
injustice of the sentencing of the nine
fur workers at Mineola. 1t also con-
demned fascist government, and par
ticularly the fascist government Of
Italy. (This is all right because the
A. f. of L. did it too).
The convention decided that there
shall be educational committees APP
pointed in each local. 1t closed the
day by voting varying sums of money
to a number of socialist and anarchist
papers and organizations.
The proletarian banquet of the
progressive delegates to the conven-
ton brought together a large number
of progressive workers from all the
needle trades last night. The dinner
was in Stuyvesant Casino and it was
a jolly celebration, with speeches by
many Of the prominent leaders and
rank and filters.

HATTERS CHIEF
SPIKES UNITY IN
CAP CONVENTION
No Amalgamation But
Only Cooperation"

Anlalgamation is evidently not Ia
yored by the United Hatters of North
America. This was made quite clear
yesterday in the speech of M. f.
Green; president of the United Hat
ters, before the convention Of the
Cloth Cap, Hat G. Millinery Workers
international Union, being held in
Beethoven Hall on East 9TH Street.
Green was introduced by the chair
man, Max Zaritzl1y, with effusive
compliments and offered the 'key to
the hearts" of the capmakers and mil
liners. Great emphasis was laid puon
the close cooperation of the two
unions, and the closer relation to
come.
But while Green hopes for amalga-
nation Of the two unions gin the fu-
ture," he believes it best at present
to have the United Haters stay in
"our Bible House, and you in your
Beethoven Hall; and we will keep on
cooperating as we have for the past
two years"
Boasts of Left Gain.
Another speaker at yesterdays ses-
sion, was Julius HICKMAN who came
representing the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union. He began
by Dragging about the "forty hour
week which we have gained" and
talked about how far in advance Of the
rest of world labor this gain is. Us
ually the Communists are denounced
by the right wing clique for having
prolonged the strike until the forty
hour week was won; but HICKMAN
never mentioned that the Commun-
lists had anything to do with it.
Instead, he launched into the Gus
tomary TRADE against all Commun-
lists, past, present and future. The
very word seemed to set him off into
an automatic denunciation of every
thing connected with Communism, in
Guiding The DAILY WORKER from
which he quoted an editorial. Some
of the delegates remarked at the
change in Hochman's style of speech.
Formerly he talked always of sun
shine and flowers and the springtime
which was scarcely more interest
ing to the workers than his latest
line.
The chief debate at the convention
yesterday conferred around resolu-
ton calling for denunciation of the
Citizens Military Training Camp. The
resolutions committee reported no OBJ
jections to the Whereas sections;
but as delegate l. Feingold pointed
out:
eve differ as usual when it comes
to taking some action instead of Just
resolving"
The opposition in connection with
this resolution was an opposition to
instructing the delegates to the next
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor to introduce measure
opposing the camps.
'1n Principle
eve are unanimously opposed to
the G. NJ. T. C. in principle. but"
said the resolutions committee, and
the convention.
1t was decided to leave it to the
discretion of the delegates whether
they should introduce such a resolu-
ton at the A. F. of l.. convention. If
the A. F. of L. was not going to take
such stand, and if the capmakers'
delegates would be the only ones OPP
posing the camps and would thus be
conspicuous and ridiculous because of
their opposition, they were not to be
forced to do it.
Speakers pointed out the fact that

HEMP CROP IN

OF INVESTIGATION
Imperial Linen Products
Company Asserts Hemp
Not Violation of Law

An investigation viii be begun at
Sacramento at once to determine
whether stock selling permit was
issued by the state department for
a project outlawed by the state
laws. This probe will be conducted
in connection with the Imperial
Linen Products corporation. which
is supervising the growth of approx
ima> l60 acres of hemp in the
valleA
Announcement that this investi-
CATION will be made was given out
following a conference yesterday
between Governor C. C. Young and
Frank H. Benson, state narcotic de-
partment chief.
The question was first raised by
Sheriff C. L. Gillett, who discovered
that the hemp being grown in the
valley is practically the same growth
as that known as marijuana. 1t is
believed that state laws are in eff
feet which prohibits the cultivation
of marijuana.
The question now being raised is
whether in its articles of corpora
ton the Imperial Linen Products
firm was granted permission to
carry on the business of raising
hemp.
Benson has already made tour
of the valley, looking over the fields
of hemp being raised here and con-
ducting an investigation to deter
mine the extent of the use of mari
juana for smoking purposes in the
valley. Roy p. Womack of the state
agricultural department has just
conducted further research here to
determine whether or not the pro-
duet was being raised solely for
commercial purposes or whether it
was used to any extent as drug.
His report has not as yet been sub
mitted to Governor Young.
Company Interested
incidentally the Imperial pro-
ducts company in defense of its
hemp holdings here has pointed out
an official investigation conducted
by Col. NJ. L. Walker, governor of
Panama. Walker appointed COM
mittee to conduct an investigation
when resulted III tHe IOlloWlhS re-
port following an exhaustive study
of marijuana as drug.
"Sixteen subjects, all army men,
were used in the experiment. Some
of these men smoked as high as
six mariiuana cigarets within an
honr and suffered no noticeable bad
effects. Two of them later quail
fled as marksmen and one who had
smoked mariiuana from childhood
qualified as an expert marksman.
"The influence of the drug when
used for smoking is uncertain and
appears exaggerated. There is no
medical evidence that it causes in
sanity. Tests confirm the belief
that it is not habit forming drug
and no pleasurable sensations nor
acts of violence were observed.
"This board recommends that no
steps be taken to prevent the sale
or use of mariiuana by authorities
of the canal zone and that no spe-
cial legislation on that subject is
needed -
The committee conducting the in
vestigation was comprised of reli-
able men including numerous physi-
clans and army officials.
