PLEA TO RETAIN
DON WISHNEvSKY
Local 80 Administration
Has Fine Record

A statement has been made by rro-
gressive members of Local IS, Inter-
national Garment Workers, OF New
York City, on the important election
coming up February 1S, at Bryant
Hall, between noon and 1880 P. NJ,
as to the two tickets in the field for
secretary organizer, Italian business
agent, executive board members, etc.
The two groups contesting for Of
flee are headed by Don Wishnevsky,
the present secretary organizer and
B. Drasin, renegade, who was ousted
last election.
Wishnevsky's Fine Record.
The present administration, made
up Of Wishnevsl1y and associates, has
a fine record of real trade union ac-
tivity. It is these lefts which brought
the ty-o locals of ladies' tailors and
dressmakers to amalgamate into one
local.
1t is this administration which con-
Quoted the most aggressive organiza-
ton drive amongst the dressmakers,
which resulted in an increase Of 800
members.
II is this administration that fought
for the tailors' demands at a time
when there were no funds in the In
ternational and III treasury in
the local itself ans p, in a short
strike, the 40-hour aek, as well as
wage increases.
1t is this administration that estab-
lished the unions standing amongst
the great number of unoreanized
workers, the custom dressmakers by
an aggressive organization campaign
and forced a substantial reduction OF
hours and increase of wages even in
the unorganized shops.
This was accomplished despite the
obstruction, sabotage, and demoraliz-
ing activities of the group that is led
by Drasin in this election. The many
difficulties as a result of this sabotage
cost the union additional expenses
and some smaller shop strikes could
not be conducted with the full strength
that the union could otherwise muster.
Drssin's Treachery.
Drasin, who opposes Wishnevsky.
on the other hand, has a bad record.
The progressive group in Local So
points out that he got himself elected
in 1928 by pretending to be a pro-
gressive, but once in, settled down to
soft snap, and did nothing beyond
drawing his wages and attending to
small routines.
He conducted no organization drive.
He referred most Of the demands of
the members to the governors COM
mission.
Sold Out for job.
After being defeated for the posi-
tion Of secretary organizer, at the
last election, Drasin got on the exec
utive board. But since this is not
paid position. he did not care for it.
say the Let's. and resigned in order
to be good boy and keep his job at
Carnegie's.
While on the settlement committees.
Drasin sacrificed the demands of the
employees, such as double pay for
overtime, and one additional holiday.
He also, they say, made supplemental
ry agreements and understandings
with the boss, which involved the.
right to discharge, division of work,
etc. And he associates himself now
with men like Rosenfard, against
whom Drasin himself had to bring
charges Of graft at one time, and with
former bureaucrat of the union,
who is now boss.

FURRIERS
DEMAND TO HEAR
N. Y. DELEGATES
Officer Breaks Meeting;
Workers Find New Hall

Especial To The DAILY W0RKER.)
BOSTON, Feb. 16.-A membership
meeting of Furriers' Local 80, of
Boston, was broken up by Vice Presi-
dent Botkowitz of the International
on Monday night when members in
sisted on hearing delegates from the
New York Joint Board who had come
to speak. After being dispersed by
police, called in by the vice president.
the members met in another hall and
listened to addresses of Fannie War
shawsky S. Kravitz, and A. Vino
gradsky.
Denies New Workers Hearing.
The meeting was called to hear the
report of the financial investigation
committee. Chairman Botkowitz de-
MED the. committee representing the
New York Joint Board the right to
speak on the gro lnds that the Joint
Board has been suspended from the
international.
This statement was vigorously de-
MED by Fannie Warshawsky, who
pointed out that the Joint Board had
a right to be represented, since it had
financed the last strike, and was not
legally expelled since no notification
of any such action had ever been
given.
Here Come The Police.
Botkowitz refused to preside if the
New York delegation was to be
heard, whereupon the membership
elected George Pearlman to take the
chair. Before any Of the delegation
could be heard, police appeared upon
the scene and cleared the hall, Bot
kowitz and business agent Beckman
pointing out the three Joint Board
members to the police.
Meeting Resumed.
The meeting was Immediately re-
sumed in Paine Memorial Hall. 9 Ap-
pleton street, where the New York
delegation spoke. Resolutions were
adopted condemning the action of the
officials Botkowitz and Beckman and
demanding the withdrawal of Bot
kowitz and BeclSman and demanding
the withdrawal of Botkowitz as
vice president of the International
from Local 30. The meeting voted to
bring charges against Beckman by a
special committee elected for that
purpose.
The resolutions also protested
against the action of the General
Executive Board at Montreal in ex-
pelling Vice President Gross for
political views, contrary TO the de-
cision Of the last convention which
was held in Boston. The members
voted to invite committee Of Local
% of Newark TO present the facts of
the seeking of an injunction against
the local by the International. Reso-
buttons criticizing the action of the
International officials in the last
strike in failing TO give full support,
were also adopted.

Continued from Page one)

Liz D<NALA NOlNhI4h has COIt-
sistently supported the Gales admin
istration against American imperial
ism. But we notice that in many in
stances government troops are used
against the workers in strikes. The
Gales administration has done splen-
did work in educating the Mexican
masses and IN reducing the power Of
the catholic church. but 1t is not a
workers and peasants government.
This must be the goal Of the Mexican
masses.
IONE dispatch informs us that me-
Negotiations between the British
ana Cantonese governments are
broken off. Another dispatch tells US
the exact opposite. One moment WI
fei-fu threatens to attack Chang
Tso-Lin's forces. The next wire tells
US that WI is marching on Hankow
side by side with Chang. We are told
that Japan will not cooperate with
the, British against the Chinese and
we are told that Japan Will cooper
ate. The trans-PaclIic cables are in
the hands of the imperialist powers.
Most of the news is written by their
trained liars. Lying dispatches will
not defeat the Chinese revolution. 1t
will be won by those who have right,
backed up by cannon, and the heav-
lest number on their SIDE. The Can
tonese have the man-power and right.
Let us hope they can collect enough
archery.
4 1t is well to be on guard against
! sensational stories OF Cantonese de.
: feats within the next few days. The
stage is set for as fine campaign
1 of prevarlcation as the world wal
/ produced when the lie mills OF Gen
eva and helingsfors were working
twenty-four hour shifts. Of course
a Cantonese setback Is possible. When
His Majesty the Deyii was bounced
cut of heaven we do not believe
jehovah depended entirely on his su-
perior virtue to defeat his rival. We
are Of the opinion that the archangei
Michael, the celestial commanding
general had supply Of stone
natchets on hand.
Some people persist in not believ-
ing unpalatable facts. when Ger
many was defeated in the war and
Great Britain lowed the once-haugnty
Teuton fleet into Scottish harbor,
in humiliation, a strong anti-Bntlsh
friend of mine insisted that the en-
tire British navy was at the bottom
of the North Sea and that the Kaiser S
vessels were OCCUPYING British ports
as victors. This honest fellow per-
sisted in this belief even after the
treaty of Versailles was signed.
Whether he ever changed his opin-
ion, | do not know and never will,
the poor fellow having been killed
by truck on the street few months
ago.
- ECRETARY of the Navy Wilbur
Obelieyes that Communists are all
over the place and that we need a
large navy to protect the children
from their propaganda. James Oneal,
an author of parts, tells the world
that there are only few thousand
Communists W America, just enough
to write book about. The New York
Times takes note Of 0neal's figures
but fails to find consolation in that
gentleman's assurance that the Com
munists are negligible factor. Per-
haps the Times editorial writer reads
the New Leader, including the coll
umns of space that organ devotes to
the negligible" Communists.

BETTER BUSINESS
is BASIS OF BULL
MOVE ON MARKET
otal stock sales, 1,OS4,7OO shares.
(By the Associated Press)

NEW YORK, March IL (R.-Exten-
sive weke-end readjustment of specu-
lative accounts impaired irregularity
to the price movement in today's stock
market. Trading was fairly heavy for
a half holiday session, with major
speculative operations again on the
upside.
Easy money, coupled with reports of
improving business, appears to be the
foundation on which the bull" move
ment is based. Further proof of the
ease of the money situation was seen
in the weekly clearing house state
ment, showing excess reserve in ex-
cess of S6O,OOO,O0O, the largest in over
a year, on the eve of the federal in
come tax payment date. Reports that
The proposed strike of soft coal miners
in the Pennsylvania fields on April
1, would be averted ana the denial of
Ford price cuts also helpedt to maintain
bullish sentiment.
Rails were again the leaders. Heavy
profit taking in such issues as Atchi-
son., Norfolk & Western and Cuff, Mo-
/ bile & Northern, all of which closed
to. 3A points lower, resulted in the
development of new leaders, such as
Union Pacific. Western Pacific and st.
Louis southwestern, all of which
closed / to nearly points higher.
Some of the selling in Atchison may
have been inspired by President Sorey' s
denial that stock dividend was in
contemplation, or that the road was
committed to a higher dividend policy
on the present stock.
Norfolk & Southern, which was bid
up in spectacular fashion yesterday
moved up nearly points to another
new record high at 56% today, but
later lost all it's gain. Unconfirmed
reports of a possible compromise in
the eastern railroad consolidation con-
troversy attracted widespread atten-
ton. Flurries of selling swept through
the motors, but offerings generally
were we'll absorbed. Oils also were
subjected to pressure as a result of
the extension of recent crude oil price
cuts and the announcement of another
cut in gasoline prices by the Standard
sOiI company of New Jersey effective
Monday. Rubbers continued to attract
buying on rumors of an early advance
in tire prices.
Westinghouse Airbrake was one of
the outstanding spots in the industrial
list, touching new high record for
all time at 1874. Other issues to reach
new high ground included Federal
Mining and Smelling, which jumped II
points to 120, on a comparatively small
turnover, and S. II. Kress, Sterling
Products, Pathe Exchange, ByProd-
ucts Coke, May Department Stores, G..
w. Helme, American Water Works,
Douglas-Pevin, Indian Refining, Fris-
co, common, and Gulf, Mobile and
Northern, preferred.
Foreign exchanges held firm in quiet
trading. Demand sterling was quoted
slightly around $4.S4% and French
francs just below 3.91 cents. Spanish
pesetas held close to their recent high
record, just above above 1714 cents.
