Is It the National Organization Committee or
Sigman- Schlesinger Forward Clique

Garment Workers Union, and now
they have the audacity to claim that
we have formed an opposition union
under another name and that our
union is the scab union. In connec-
ton with this, one recalls the story
of the policeman, who after slug
ging a man unconscious with a
heavy club, later arrested him for
obstructing the sidewalk.
The Forward Clique.
If it is true that we are the scab
union and they the real union, the
bosses would surely not have forced
their workers to go to their union.
They label US ."Sulkises" (Sulkis
was famous scab agent in the
annals of the cloakmakers' union)
and scab agents, but all the cloak
makers know that Sulkis had the
full support of the bosses and now
the Sigman-Schlesinger clique are
getting this same support. For this
reason alone it should be clear to
everyone that not we but they are
the Sulkises and scab agents.
This same gang, which is now
raising such hue and cry about
opposition unions land in their es-
timation an opposition union is
synonymous with scab union) has
nevertheless time and again formed
such union when it served their
own interests. Is it not a we'll
known fact that Sigman formed an
opposition union against the Inter
national years ago, at time when
the International was real work
ers' union and not a company union,
as it is now. And what about our
sanity Mr.. Shiplacoff? Was he not
the manager of an opposition union
(the Amalgamated)? And is it not
common knowledge that the United
Hebrew Trades with the aid of "The
Forward" formed an opposition
union last year against the Grocery
Clerks Union for the sole reason
that the said union had sent in dele
gates to the United Hebrew Trades
who were opponents of the Forward
clique?
Friends of the Bosses.
These most discredited elements,
who maintain themselves with the
support of the bosses, the courts
and injunctions, who have betrayed
the last strike of the cloakmakers,
who have broken the union and

important locals, the officials of the
International, who are not elected
by the members but at conventions
by delegates from fake locals and
by excluding the legally elected
delegates from the large locals, sue
ceeded in electing themselves to the
highest offices of the International,
pefpetuating themselves in power
against the wishes of the member
ship and using their official posi-
tions to expel the representatives
elected by the workers, and even the
workers themselves. In this manner,
thru an autocratic edict, it was pos
sible for handful of iobholders to
expel 80 per cent of the member
ship from the union. This small
group of jobholders maintain that
they are the union and that the tens
of thousands of members are of no
account and must submit to their
dictates.
However, the workers have never
submitted to these unprecedented
and scandalous acts of the clique,
and have demonstrated before the
entire world that they will never
recognize these self-crowned Off
Gals and will insist on their right
to elect leaders in whom they can
place their confidence.
Their Allies.
The international clique, together
with "The Forward" held this pro-
test of the membership in contempt
and formed opposition locals mad an
opposition Joint Board. With the
aid of the bosses, elements of the
underworld, the police, courts and
methods of terrorism they tried to
force the members to recognize
their scab locals and scab Joint
Board. They have even taken out
injunctions against the Joint Board
of Chicago and against the New
York locals, representing thousands
of members, prohibiting us from
using the name of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union,
while they, handful of jobholders,
together with "The Forward" clique,
proclaimed themselves as the Inter
national.
The clique has formed an opposi-
ton union, has taken out injunc-
tons prohibiting us from calling
ourselves the international Ladies'

There is no better way to start a

newspaper free-lancing as he can

Lamont voted for John D. Davis in

watch.

A few minutes later we entered
the almost empty grill of the Stuy-

Shortly after we had given our
order a uniformed attendant en-
tered and, howing deferentially at
the district attorneys elbow, held
out an unaddressed communication
sealed in one of the clubs envelopes.
Markham read 1t with an express
sion of growing curiosity, and as
he studied the signature a look Of
mild surprise came into his eyes.
At length he looked up and nod
ded to the waiting attendant. Then,
excusing himself. he left us abrupt
ly. 1t was fully twenty minutes be-
fore he returned.
Funny thing" he said. THAT
note was from the man who took
the Odell woman to dinner and the
theater last night.

staying here at the club-he's a
nonresident member and makes it
his headquarters when he's in

question diSinterestedly.
I've met him several times-chap

respectable member Of Society-one

He wagged his head dolefully.
"Y' know, Markham, it appears
to me that the testimony in this
case constitutes conclusive legal
proof that no one could have been

presumably alive.

Suddenly Markham swung round.

tauntingly.

such as are denied ordinary NOR

informed me, somewhat grandilo-

lead me infallibly to the culprit,
whether he left footprints or not.
You recall that boast?
We'll, here's crime, and the per-
petrator left no footprints coming

suspense by conf1ding in me who
killed the Odell girl"
Vance's serenity was not ruffled
by Markham;s ill-humored chaI-
lenge.
He sat smoking lazily for several
minutes: then he leaned over and
f1icked his cigaret ash out Of the
window.
"'Pon my word, Markham" he
joined evenly. I'm half inclined
to look into this silly murder.

sank back on the cushions.

His account Of what happened
last night agreed perfectly with
Jessup's. He called for the girl at
seven, brought her home at about
eleven, stayed with her half an hour
or so and then left her.
when he heard her call for help
he was frightened, but on being as
sured by her there was nothing
wrong, he concluded she had dozed

no more about 1t.
HE drove direct to the club here,
