MANY Illusions are abroad about the glorious
AVA fighting tradition of the Amaglamated Cloth
ing Workers, its progressive policies, etc. Mr..
Hillman knows better, do some of the insiders.
1t is but II years since Nashville, Tennessee, where
the A. C. w. A. was started. 1t took about that
long to unravel before the masses the game that
was sent afoot and then played between few,
amongst whom what is now known as Hart,
Schaffner 6 Marx and his office employee Mr.. Hill
man We must admit the game was played quite
clevery. There are but few who know the story
and it makes quite interesting reading
Hillman's abilities were recognized by his boss
quite early, and having in mind the establishment
of modern garment factories with cheap labor in
Chicago with the middle west its chief market,
Hart Schaffner & Marx found Mr.. Rickert, then
President of the United Garment Workers affilia-
ted with the A. F. of l.. in their way. The u G. w.
led by Rickert was playing the game of the New
York bosses and Mrs. Schaffner found it necessary
to use the union against his competitors nationally
and locally picked out his able and trusted office
clerk, Hlrnan, to do the job.
Mr.. Rickert by his arbitrary and brutal methods
at the convention played into the hands of the
opposition let then by group connected with Hill
mans boss and out of it came the A. c. W.. formed
around the set of employers led by the first trust
in the clothing industry the firm of Hart Schaffner
& Marx The opposition to Rickert returning to
New York found a sell-out agreement signed by
Rickert with the New York bosses, kept the tallors
on strike thus forcing the New York bosses to give
further concessions all of which was gravy for
Hart Schaffner & Marx. Mr.. Hillman then became
President of the new union and an agreement was
signed in Chicago. Thus the modern big clothing
manufacturers got valuable ally against the
smaller fellow who had intrenched himself previ-
ously on the market and who had to be dislocated.
Even the big Rochester manufacturers and Nash,
in time began to the game and signed up,
through diplomacy with the new union. The lib
lral Hart Schaffner & Marx kept supporting
he Hillman administration and used it to play its
Nolieies in the clothing market.
major part of the strategy was to pull the
masses of radcalized clothing workers away from
}ickert G. Company Circumstances were such as
. facilitate this The whole split maneuver bore
he character of rebellion against the A. F. of l.

TheMyth About the Progressive Amalgamated

Mr.. Hillman quite lucky. The war pros
perty helped to established the Amalgamated, not
that Hillman had any different policy than Com
pers; namely of restraining the workers from
taking advantage of the enormous profits OF war
profiteering In the postwar crisis the left wing
had not as yet sufficiently understood how to show
up this Hillnan policy
Thus Himans administration steered thru the
first serious crisis without much opposition. our

tHERF is no doubt in the mind of the progressive
| seaman that as far as he is concerned the edify
40 and uplifting influence of the Y. M. G. A. and
he various church and mission organizations serves
ct,ally to pull him down deeper and deeper into

itions of organization, and the pressure that has
been brought by the workers upon their wardens,

some chance to meet fellow workers and discuss
things to- go home to ones family and hear of the
and troubles which have accumulated in the
domestic group during the day, and and

superior officers, life is a painful drudgery and
little if better, than prison workhouse routine.
If YOU add to this fact that the wages of the able

dollars month scale, the life of the average sea-
ashore turns out to be little better 10 the lie
which he spends at sea-
Most self-respecting sailors in spite of the fact
that the sea is after all their natural calling and
trade begin to hate and doge the very thought of
shipping cut madhouse which leaves man
badly bent after after trip.
Naturally the ship owners look after their enter
prises in the field of labor quite vigantly. This
watchfulness manifests itself in the church insti-
tutes which find, amongst the heaviest donors and
contributors those interests that are intimately
bound up with shipping and ships. There is no bet
ter example of this than the Seamen's Church In

One of the RI Honorable and reverend gentlemen

continuing the strike for better conditions. The
strategy of the firm of Hart, Schaffner Marx
left plenty of room for militancy on the part of
the new union, particularly against it's competitors
in some of the eastern markets. Amalgamation of
all needle trades unions would have facilitated the
extension of Hart Schaffner & Marx policy over
the whole needle industry. This slogan also helped
give the appearance OF progressivism to the Anal
