The conference of shop representa-

Organizing Committee opens at 10
o'clock this morning at Webster Hall,
11th Street and Third Ave. The pur-
pose of the meeting is to begin the
drive to build the union of the rank

to again reclaim the industry from
the morass of open-shopdom into
which the Socialist-boss partnership
has driven it.
A whole series of such conferences
are to be held in the near future in

centers of the country.
The conference of the National Or
ganizing Committee, sent broadcast to
the workers in the entire industry, has
been answered by as great response
from the shops, as has ever been re-
corded at any of the numerous gather
ings of cloak and dress makers yet
held, according to the preliminary re-
ports coming in.

HIGH TAMMANY
men IN CRAFT
Lougheed Exposes Big
Steal

Taking off the lid completely from
the vile-smelling, Tammany street
cleaning scandal from which in the
past few weeks escaping odors have
already penetrated thruout the city
administration, William J. Lougheed,
self-confessed CRATER, yesterday ex-
posed the whole nauseating mess in
the $200,000,000 steal, the full story
of which will, it is believed, leave no
important high official in the dem
ocratic party untouched.
In the course of his testimony
Lougheed, who is witness for the
state in the prosecution involved AL
fred A. Taylor, head of the street
cleaning department; "Big Billr Ed
wards, commissioner of the depart
ment in 1911, and suggested that
even Mayor William j. Gaynor who
was elected to office in 1918 had
profited from the payroll padding.
He did not say whether the present
mayor was also implicated.
More than $230,0O0 have been
grated during the past three years
in the one Cromwell Avenue garage
alone of which Lougheed was fore
man. Of this sum William j. Oswald,
district superintendent in the Bronx,
received at least $4,000. Another
$4,000 went to Charles A. MCGEE,
assistant general superintendent of
the department, who with Oswald is
on trial in the Bronx County Court
on charges of grand larceny and for
gerry.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June l.
An appeal to the Superior Court has
been made by the International Labor
Defense for William 7. Murdoch, SEN
fenced to 90 days, A. Porter, 80 days,
and IL other active strikers, heavily
fined for picketing the mill gates
earlier in the week. Murdoch, who is
secretary of the New Bedford Textile
Mills Committee, was released only
after bail of 5000 was furnished.
The sharpness of the attack
launched by the police all during last
week in an effort to halt the regular
picketing being conducted by the
workers following the Textile Mill
Committee, has proved boomerang.
AS arrests of the picket leaders con-
