getting there SO fast that HenneSsey
hardly had opportunity to see it.
The Indianapolis luminarys strong

parry with the veteran, often getting
his point in frequent furious ex

CLOAK WORKERS
TO REBUILD union
Conference Saturday to
Launch Drive

BOSTON, Mass, May S0.-Not only
in New York, but in the out-ot-town
locals of the international Ladies
Garment Workers Union, some OF the
right wing elements are finally arriv-
ing at the conclusion that the union
smashed by the Sigman war on the
membership cannot be rebuilt without
the aid of the left wing forces. This
was demonstrated at joint meeting
of all the executive boards Of the
Boston locals held Tuesday.
Sigman's follower in the Boston
union, vice-president Amdur, reported
to the joint meeting that an "organi-
cation campaign" will be started. In
the discussion that followed even some
of the right wing members OF the
executive boards declared that without
the participation of the progressive
union members no organization work
could be done. They went so far as
to openly announce that without the
election to leadership in the union of
the progressives, no real union work
could be accomplished, adding that
a number of functionaries necessary
to fill places on the executive boards
could not be obtained unless the pro-
gressives participated.
After this discussion the Sigman
vice-president declared that if pro-
gressives were elected as functionaries
the entire locals would be expelled, as
was done in New York and Chicago.
Business agent Posen, last week
sent in his resignation to the Boston
union administration. His resigna-
ton was turned over to the board Of
directors.

Newark Judge Offer to
Act AS Mediary

A definite move for buying off the
suit of the five doomed women now
suing the United States Radium Cor
poration for sum of S1,250,000 was
made yesterday by counsels for the
defense in an effort to save several
hundred thousands of dollars for the
corporation.
Federal Judge William Clark of
Newark announced that he would act
as "disinterested mediator" in an
effort to bring about an agreement
between attorneys for both sides and
"settle the matter" out of court.
This latest move toward outside set
tlement has greater significance than
it appears to have on the surface,
because Judge Clark was at one time
associated with Raymond H. Berry,
counsel for the five women, in the
same law firm.

were arrested after they refused to
obey the order of the police chief in
charge to halt the picketing. All the
above have been arrested several
times already, this being the fourth
time for the union leader Murdoch.

Heading for the far west, middle

country, delegates to the National
Nominating Convention of the Work
ers (Communist) Party are now on
their way home, ready to launch the
great presidential campaign OF the
only working class party on huge,
nationwide scale.
All the delegates, imbued with the
enthusiasm tnat pervaded the two
and a half days of the historic con-
vention, are determiped to bring the
names of William q. Foster and Ben
Gitlow, candidates for president and
vice president, respectively, of the
Workers Party, and the militant
working class platform on which they
stand to all sections of the American
working class, both organized and un-
organized.
In addition to the national candi-
dates, the delegates will also wage
active campaigns for the state and
county tickets of the Workers Party.
Communist candidates will seek the
workers support in practically every
state.
Under the direction of Alexander
Trachtenberg, chairman, the Ways
and Means Committee is now making
plans for the division of the country
into election districts. When these
plans are finally worked out, all the
election machinery of the Workers
