IN. Y. Building Workers
Want Amalgamation

(Contjnued from Page One)
DAILY WORKER reporter as to
what specifically had resulted from
this attitude of the Building Trades
Council, Mr.. Taylor pointed to the
fact that the bosses, realizing their
opportunity, were now consolidating
their forces for a combined attempt
to deal the unions a death blow.
Taylor pointed to what he termed
the NEARLY criminal" attitude of the
plumbers locals of Manhattan and
Queens in having failed to aid Local
1 in its strike last spring.
even when the bosses locked out
the plumbers of Manhattan and
Queens, instead of uniting to fight
side by side with the Brooklyn local,
the officials of these unions sought
to escape the inevitable battle by Sc
curing an injunction against the
Bosses" he said.
Electrical Workers Must Fight!
Taylor further pointed to the in
evitability of battle in the cleo
trical trade when the threat of the
bosses not to deal with the union
after January l will have to be met
"Phe program announced by the
officials of the electrical workers
union is a policy of compromise and
certain defeat" declared Taylor. "The
declarations made by these officials
that peace and cooperation with
| the bosses would solve the problem
is conscious or an unknowing policy
of surrender"
The customary practice Of signing
| agreements without submitting these
agreements for the approval of the
membership was mentioned by Tay-
Tor as the outstanding act of betrayal
Of the workers interests.
"In some unions" he pointed out
this practice has been carried to the
point even of signing up secret agree
ments. The instance of District
Council 9, of the painters union, be-
ing case in point"

Taylor declared the first REQUIRE
ment is for the workers to support
the Building Trades Progressive
Movement, inasmuch as the old reac-
tionary officialdom has proven it's in
efficiency and incapacity to advance
the cause of the workers. The pro
gram of the progressive movement is
first the unification of the various
building councils and the amalgama-
ton of the building trades. This is
necessary, he pointed out, especially
as the bosses of the building trades
are now combined in one association

platform is a policy of militant strue.

Joint Board Replies
on Sigman Issue

The Joint Board of thu Cloak and
Dressmakers' Union has replied to
On editorial in the Jewish newspaper,
"The Day" which stated that the
American Federation of Labor had
been duped by Norris Sigman, presi-
dent of the International Ladies' Gar
'rent Workers Union. into participat-
ing in destroying the needle trades
unions. The editorial proposed to the
Federation that it step into the situa-
tion and bring about peace between
the two factions.
"The Joint Board declares that the
inner struggle in the union can be
ended and unity achieved only when
democratic control without any dis
ordinations are instituted" the Joint
Board reply said in part. "The Joint
Board has always welcomed anyone
that is earnestly interested in work
ing for unity
Board Is for Union.
''The Joint Board declares, in spite
of the fact that the American Fed
Grafton of Labor has actively support
ed Sigman in the present struggle,
has thereby helped to bring about this
chaotic situation in the cloak and
dress industry and is still active in
the struggle in the Furriers' Union,
that if the Federation is now prepared
to help end the inner struggle in the
Cloakmakers' Union on the basis of
workers control their. own organiza-
ton, then the Joint Board offers no
objections to the plan"

case, of becoming a mother.
Mrs Hart's communicative insanity
worked on her husbands Judgment

at the time of the killing, Hart did not
