The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-02-15

A change in the system Of work
which hitherto could be affected only
by the mutual consent Of the workers
and the employers, is now optional
with the firm only
Firms giving up business, who
upon resuming same, were hitherto
compelled 70 re-engage all their old
workers, are now no longer COM
PEELED to do so if they resume bust
ness after two months; which means
a 1000 reorganization, for if firm
desires at any time to get rid Of a
certain set of workers all it has TO
do is give up business at the end oil
one season and resume at other prem
ises at the beginning Of the next
season.
Cutters, who according 10 the old
agreement were to be paid by the
week, have now become time workers
and can be laid off at any time dur
ing the week.
This agreement, secretly negoti-
ated by Sigman completely does away
with union standards and places our
industry on an open shop basis with
a union label.
These have been the activities Of
Sigmsn and his supporters in the
Dressmakers' union. This has been
the role that Sigman has played in
the Dressmakers' union since 1890.
Yes, from the very first day that Sig
man placed his paws on the Dress
makers union he has brought moth
ing but ruin and destruction, misery
and starvation. His latest act of
treachery has stamped him as the
open agent of the bosses.
The dressmakers have known how
to tight Sigmsn in the past. Now.
when he stands exposed as an open.
traitor, they will not rest until Sig
man and Sigmanism have been com
pletely wiped out Of our union and
the workers, for the first time. will
Undertake the task of building their
organization on a zound and solid
foundation without any hinderance
from self-appointed officials.

SHIPLACOFF GETS
MILITANTS FINED,
BUT NOT CRATER
Two Who Attended Left
Meetings Prosecuted

because they refused to support
Abraham Shiplacoff in his attack
against the y orllers in the local
needle trades, members Of the
Fancy Leather Gods Workers have
zen fined 500 eaen.
The charges against them7was that
instead of attending the mass meet
ings held in the 69th and list armor-
les by Sigman-Beckerman and Com
pany, they had gone to. one of the
seventeen halls where the left wing
workers had gathered to counteract
the right wing maneuveTs.
Graft is q. X.
While the grievance committee was
eager to fine militant members of
their organization they quickly
squashed charges brot against shop
chairman by one of the workers who
claimed the chairman had accepted
fifty dollars from the boss so the
latter could violate the trade agree
ment. This shop chairman is one of
Shiplacoff's henchmen and had to be
protected while the two workers had
to be punished for opposing the union
wrecking policy that the right wing
administration of the union is pur-
suing.

Sigman's Role in Dressmakers' Union

Bosses Call it Sweeping Victory.
Mr.. Schwartz, president of the as
ISOLATION, is quoted in the Women's
Wear (the organ of the manufactur-
ers) as having boldly stated at a
meeting of the contractors, that
never in the history OF the association
have the contractors been able to
achieve such a sweeping victory over
the union.
Sigman has concluded an agree
ment with the dress contractors in
WHICH he has publicly conceded eleven
demands. What does this agreement
mean to the workers in our industry :?
The agreement does away with the
guaranteed minimum for piece work
ers. This practically means that the
earnings OF the operators, who CON
stitute the vast majority of the work
ers, win be greatly reduced to the
minimum.
The two weeks trial period will
mean that many workers will lose
their season going from one shop to
another without establishing them
selves in any place.
The abolition of extra pay for over
time re-established the forty-four
hour week in our industry at the time
when the entire labor movement has
taken up the struggle for the forty
hour week. It will mean that while
il. some shops workers will be conf
PEELED TO work long hours, hundreds
may be completely unemployed and
will constitute a great menace to the
workers employed, resulting in lower
ed standards and conditions.
The right Of the association TO take
in new members without the consent
Of the union will mean that any time
the union conducts a strike against
any particular firm, the firm will
join the association and the strike
will be broken.
In case Of stoppage the inter-
national obligates itself TO supply the
employers with a new set of workers
If the workers 10 not return to work
within twenty-four hours. This
means not only a reorganization but
open shop with the union as a seab
agency.
No compensation for the first three
days in case Of an unfair discharge
viii give the employers the right to
discharge workers without any loss
to themselves and will place the
workers at the mercy of the bosses.
Worker Fears Automatic Discharge.
The worker who absents himself
from the factory for twenty-four
hours is automatically discharged.
These are some Of the points print
ed in the agreement that has been
made public. The secret agreement,
however, which will eventually be-
come known to the dressmakers. in
cludes other points, such as,
The elimination Of the 1870 to tenn
porsry workers.
No pay for holidays that fall out
on a Saturday.

GARMENT BOARD
CHANCES BOOKS;
DEFIES SIGMAN
Shows Contradictions
In His Attack

Working himself up to q pitch of
unrighteous indignation yesterday,
Morris Sigman. president Of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers
union, denounced the left wing once
again and this time accused the Joint
Board Of creating a "dual" union
among the Italian workers of Locals
4S and SO.
Shows Confusion.
According to Joint Board spokes-
men, this just "offers further proof
Of the confusion that exists in the
right wing ranks as to how to justify
the illegal ousting of the entire New
York Joint Board and four of the most
powerful locals of the union.
"The statement made by Sigman
points out that locals 4, S end 80 were
not reoragnized by the International
union; but at the time the custer
orders were given, the International
claimed that it was 'reorganizing
every local in New York, while adj
hitting that it had reappointed Of
ficers of locals who were tools of the
International.
More Contradiction.
Although this statement implies
that some locals we're 'reorganized'
even if Locals 4s and SO were not,
the International, through its attor-
ney Morris Hillquit, declared at the
hearing before the Impartial Chair
man Raymond V. Ingersoll that The
General Executive Board is without
power to expel members or suspend
locals without proper procedure, and
up to this time there has been no
expulsion or attempted expulsion nor
removal from office, no suspension or
expulsion of local or subordinate bod
les The fact that the International
claims one day that the Joint Board
is expelled and the next day that
there has been no expulsion, proves
the weakness of its position legally.
"The Joint Board will continue to
change the union books of any mem
bers Of any local who comes to ask
for a new book. 1t is the duty Of the
Joint Board to issue new books every
six months"
