By b. ANNISON.

Abraham Shipacoff and the Ossip
Wilinsky clique Of the Pocketbook
Workers Union, are now having
their hands full in trying to suppress
the rebelhous spirit of the member
ship against the corrupt machine.
As already reported last week in
The DAILY WORKER, about eleven
active workers were fined some $25
each and some $50, because they to-
gether with hundreds of others, at
tended the meetings arranged by the
cloakmakers' and fu1riers' Joint
Boards.
Refuses To Pay.
Last Monday one operator, by the
name Of A. Engel working for Bern
stein Brothers at 10th street and 9th
avenue was notified by his chairman
that he must pay up his fine. Engel
answered his chairman to the effect
that he is not guilty Of any crime
against the union. He claimed that
the union has no right to tell him
where to go or where not to go after
working hours. On this ground he
fatty refused to pay the fine.
Ordered To Stop Work.
When the chairman notified the
union office of Engel's refusal to pay
the fine he was ordered to stop him
from working. Engel refused and
continued working.
The boss then interfered and dis
charged Engel claiming that he was
instructed to do so by the union.
Engel did not bulge from his ma
chine. When the work was finally
taken away from him a commotion

NAMED sitting at their machine.
/ Immediately the boss got on the

resume their work. This attempt
was fruitless.
Boss Loyal.
Then the shop chairman told the
boss to discharge the whole section,
claiming that he has such orders
from the union. Here again the boss
showed his loyalty" to Shiplacoff
and carried out the instructions of
the union clique.
! After these ID operators had been
told that they are discharged they
still remained at the machines,
despite the fact that they were
threatened with the police. At 4:3O
the workers left the shop.
On the following morning a COM
mittee of the section went up to see
the firm about the matter. Upon
this occasion the employers stated
that he is willing to withdraw his

to be a representative of the workers,
he is the first to go to the assistance
Of the employers, and at the behest
OF Sigman, help them to obtain an
Injunction against the workers"
There are also a number of other
affidavits signed by Italian men and
women who signed some for Antonini.
Among the latter, there is an anus
ing angle in the fact that S. Amicco,
against whom vague charges of "as-
sault' are made, had on a number of
occasions spent friendly evenings
with them at dinner
Application to make this injunction
asked by the right wing leaders and
the bosses association permanent

Justice Edward Glennon in the state
supreme court. Antonini's injunction
against officers of the Joint Board
will also be argued on that date, UNI

made permanent.

Louis Hyman, manager of the Joint
Board, further linked up the Interna-
tiOnal with the obtaining of the in

have received in the Joint Board

With Bosses To Keep Workers

come back to work. The whole sec
ton rejected this offer
The same morning all the "a oper-
ators held a meeting in the office
of the union. After much mangling
with the officials who did their best
to provocate a fight, it was agreed
upon that Engel goes back to work
together with the rest on condition
that he pays So and appeals his case
on Wednesday.
But here is where the treachery
lies. When the whole section came
back to work with the permission Of
the office, the employer, who only a
while ago promised them that he will
carry out the instructions of the
union, refused to take them back.
The Boss To The Rescue.
There is only one way to inter-
pretate this fact. When Shiplacoff
and his gang felt that they could not
openly withstand the determination
of these "a workers as we'll as the
indignation Of the workers of the
trade in general, the former made a
retreat. But in an underhand man.
ner conspired with the firm against
the workers, to get their revenge.
, Shiplacoff's next move was even
more treaeherous. When the work
ers plainly told him that they knew
his game, he finally made up a letter
to the firm asking the same to take
them back temporarily, pending the
decision of the impartial chairman.

But the wording of the letter was
such that it placed the responsibility
Of this stoppage upon the workers
With this Shiplacoff purposely aimed
TO- make the case unfavorable TO the
workers with the impartial chairman
The workers naturally refused tc
take the responsibility upon them.
selves.
Here again Shiplacoff was pushed
to the wall and was forced to change
the wording.
Boss Betrays Deal.
When the shop chairman finally
handed the letter over to the boss;
the latter insisted upon the "origina
wording. In this way it was dis.
covered that Shiplacoff negotiated

BEARDSLEY HAS
OPPOSITION IN
JEWELLERS union
? rogTessives Have Tick
ct in Election

The progressive group Of the In
ternational Jewelry Workers union,
Local l, have nominated candidates
and adopted a program for the COM
ing election in the local.
The election is new many weeks
overdue and is continuing to be post
poned by Samuel Beardsley and his
henchmen.
The program Of the progressives
reads in part as follows:
eve are about to have elections in
Local 1, I. J. w. Y. Now is the
time for each and everyone Of US to
consider the activities Of the local
during the last 8 months.
"Beardsley, Williams, Smith & Co.
have ruled the local for seven years
without making any progress in
building a union. Conditions in the
trade are growing worse from day
to day. The jewelry workers are be-
ing oppressed aid exploited more and
more.
Most Of the men realize that
union is the solution of their econ
omic problems, but they have no faith
or confidence in the present leader
ship of the local. A sincere militant
leadership that would make real
earnest attempt to organize the
jewellers could rally the men to the
union standard. But Beardsley and
his clique are not capable Of doing
this. They are more capable of de-
moralizing our ranks by the unfair
tactics they apply against their
critics. They are getting desperate
because the progressives are winning
the confidence Of the membership, on
the issues of real rank and file par
ticipation in the work. The admins
tration has shown its incapability to
grasp favorable opportunity to fol-
low-up organization drives.
Membership Activity Blocked.
Undoubtedly, the administration
fears that their leadership will be
at stake if they permit the proposals
of the progressives, for the building
of the union, to be actually put into
effect. They, therefore, use any and
every means to prevent he member
ship from doing systematic work
knowing that the progressives will be
in the forefront AMI thereby gain the
confidence of the jewelry workers.
Fright after the last elections, the
progressives fought for the organiza-
ton and admission into Local / of
the watch-case makers, who still
work AZ hours week and are the
worst exploited of our trade.
"Beardsley, Williams, Smith & Co.
opposed their admission into Local 1,
and wanted them to go into the dead
Local No. 40 instead. We, the pro-
gressives, forced the issue until final
ly the watch-case makers were adj
mitted and the drive was begun. Ac-
tive members of the East Side were
organized into a zone committee lust
before the mass-meeting of the
watch-case makers. This move in
sured a successful meeting. The Sec
ond zone meeting drew more live ele-
ments into activity. But the minute
Beardsley & Co. saw that the pro-
gressives were taking the lead in
that committee, they never called the
East Side zone committee again."
The progressive candidates are:
Sam Nesin for organizer; Charles
Schwartz for president and Abe Ru-
bin for vice-president,
