CLOAK and DRESS
WORKERS CALLED
TO SAVE UNION
Shop Chairmen Issue a
Statement to Members

The problems facing the cloak and
dressmakers at the present time are
discussed in a statement issued last
night by the shop chairmen's council,
cloak and dressmakers, calling on
them to attend tonight's meeting at
Manhattan Lyceum Immediately after
work.
The statement reads as follows:
"The shop chairmen's council is
calling a meeting of all shop chair
men and shop committees of the cloak
and dress industry regardless of
whether they are registered or not
registered. The meeting will take
place on Wednesday, right after work,
at Manhattan Lyceum.
"At this meeting the situation in
the union as result of the % weeks
struggle in our industry will be taken
up.
Condition of Union.
"The many months of struggle has
reduced the union to mere shadow
of it's former condition. The condi-
tions we have gained as a result of
our bitter strikes have been complete
ly annihilated because of the internal
war forced upon our membership by
Sigman. This war has brought about
deplorable condition for our mem
bers now in the 18th week Of the
struggle.
Planning New Conspiracies.
"Sigman is preparing to plan new
conspiracies by which to deprive the
workers of the remnants of union
conditions that still prevail in our
industry.
"Recent events in the fur market
where Sigman, the president of our
international, has sent hired gang
sters to murder the courageous fur
strikers, proves that Sigman is ready
to destroy not only his own union but
the furriers as well.
at proves conclusively once more
that Sigman hopes to get control Of
the union by means of gangsters. The
seven gangsters openly confessed in
the police court that they were hired
by Sigman to do their murderous
work against the strikers.
Have Fought Courageously.
"The cloak and dressmakers have
fought couragsously against the reign
of terror, against gansterism, injunc-.
tons, and police brutality.
"We will continue this struggle un-
til we have won the right to dictate
the affairs of our union and to con-
vert it into real instrument in the
interests of the cloak and dress
makers"

expeditionary armies under General
Chang Kai-shek have met with a
severe reverse in the neighborhood of
Hsuchowfu, suffering 10000 casual
ties, most of whom were killed, ac-
cording to dispatches from Shanghai.
Sun Chuan-fang, whom Chang Kai-
shek defeated before Shanghai, at
tackled Hsuchowful in force. Chang
Kai-shek, after four days of desper-
ate fighting, was compelled to evac-

direction of Pengpu, representing a
loss of 80 miles of territory.

Canton Workers Revolt

HANKOW, June 28.-The National
list troops have occupied Ichang, and
Yangseu's troops are in flight. This
establishes direct railway connection
between the Wuhan cities and Chen
chow.
Chen Ta-shun, the most powerful
Kwangtung general has attacked
Kiangsi and was repulsed by the third
Wuhan army. He has fled to Nam
ching.
The fourth Wuhan army has been
sent as a punitive column against the
Kwangtung province, and has reached
the border. The advance Of the WI
han army is assisted by revolts of the
Canton workers.
Reports declare that the Chinese of
Shanghai refuse to pay extra taxes
to meet the military expenditures Of
foreign troops. They declare: "No
taxation without representation" "
Since the Chinese pay most taxes they
demand municipal representation.

a CATION to the Geneva conference
picked on July 4th as the date on
which to give banquet to the
American delegation. Such a ban
quet if given in the United States,
in the British embassy or in some

of good results, but the Americans
in Geneva have access to the wine
shops as well as the British, SO the
British admiral has nothing by way
of novelty to give them.

ACCORDING to Chinese news dis
"A patches in the capitalist press,
chang Kai-shek, the so-called mod
crate militarist has issued a death
warrant for Michael Borodin, the
Russian adviser to the Hankow
Nationalist government. Fortunately
Chang is up against the same prob
lem that confronts a hunter. He
must first catch his hare. Reports
have it that General Feng and Chang
have entered into an alliance against
Hankow, and that Chang wants to
have all labor unions outlawed. This
may be true and it may not as far
as Feng is concerned, but there is
no doubt but Chang is fully COM
mitted to the imperialist program
and has turned out to be an inn
placable and bloody enemy Of the
Chinese masses.

OUT even as the Russian workers
and peasants got sick of their
aristocracy, the wealthy daughters of
Americas leading capitalists are
finding their aristocratic foundlings
anything but assets. We have the
sad case of the Baron Tornow in the
uniform of an imperial Russian army
officer. He married the daughter Of
Joseph Clendenin, millionaire mining
magnate. The baron had too many
eyes so he may soon have to go to
work for living or hire out as an
anti-Bolshevik expert to Matthew
Woll and the Civic Federation.

CZARIST barons have been doing a
v rushing business in the American
matrimonial market since the Rus
sian revolution cut them off from
their bases of supplies at home.
Lesser lights among the old aristo-
crazy did fairly well, but the barons
were sweeping everything before
them. Girls with millions fell before
their advances like a field of grain
before a moving machine. They lost
Russia, but won the heart and bank
roll of the Americans that count.

y ted that the old fellow was I'M
duly influenced by Uldine Utley, the
youthful lady evangelist who per-
formed recently in Carnegie Hall.
Uldine is now at bathing resort,
according to snappy pictures in the
tabloids. This is reminiscent Of
Aimee Mcpherson. 1t seems that
eyangelists have a weakness for the
seashore. The Rev. Straton admits
that Miss Utley influenced him and
is grateful to his god for it. That's
the way we like to hear a fellow talk.
THERE are two kinds of religious
convulsions according to Straton,
or rather commissions that appear ex-
actly alike to the naked eye, appear
in a different light when seen thru
the spiritual microscope. For in
stance his sons CONFUSION was the
work Of a genuine holy ghost, while
other manifestations Of a similar

the work Of the devil. This is one

difficulties.
