Exposes Zaritslzy Attempt to Wreck the Cap Union

in which they praise my activities in
Canada. I merely wish to state that
l have enjoyed the fullest confidence
and cooperation of the hundreds of
members in Toronto and Montreal
where l worked as general organizer
for nearly three years. l wish to re-
mind our president Of the protest
meeting held in Montreal, in his pres
ence, against transferring me from
that city and of similar decisions
adopted by our Toronto locals.
1t was upon my record of nearly
three years of leadership in that ter
ritory, that Zaritsky and the General
Board chose me for the very import
ant task of organizing the many thou
sands of unorganized millinery work
ers of Chicago. And I need only men
ton the protests and condemnations
adopted at the meetings of the Chi
cago Joint Board and millinery locals
in the presence of Zaritsky and Rob-
erts, against my removal and the ex-
preston of confidence adopted by the
locals and Joint Board for my work
during the eight months that l was
with them.
Last, but not least, | might men
tion tn efact that Zaritsl1y, facing
storms of protest against his car
istic removal orders, stated to tens of
our members in Chicago that if l
were to retract the communication
which / sent to all locals, he would
see to it that no change take place
in the leadership of the Chicago or
ganization. | mention all the above
to prove that the insinuations of in
competency are aimed to cover up the
unprecedented action Of the G. E. B.
in their campaign to clean the union

The General Board claims that be-

the organization, violated our tradi-
tions and the trust put in me, and
undermined the organization" Now,
if the mere announcement of GER
tain act is so dangerous, isn't the act
itself much more dangerous? If say
ing that the general president is for
piece-work undermines the organiza-
tion, isn't the fact that the president
is for and advocates piece-work, the
real danger for the organization? Or
does the General Board think that as
long as the great membership does
not know it, it isn't dangerous?

3. That the Manufacturers Asso-
citation was encouraged by the posi-
ton of President Zaritsky in making
the second lockout against the New
York capmakers.
A. That at the end of Octber, 1927,
Zaritsky, at meeting of the Execu-
tive Board of Local 5, proposed the
adoption of piece-work. That he took
the same position at conference
with the Retail Cap Manufacturers of
New York in November; and that the
Chicago cap manufacturers, aware of
the presidents policy, were encour-
aged in fighting their workers to
force the piece-work system upon
them.
5. That notwithstanding my re-
quest, as General Board member and
against the provision of the consti-
tuition, the full G. E. B. meeting was
delayed for fully four months, while
very important problems We're facing
the organization.
6. That the full meeting of the
G. E. B., while discussing the presi-
dents request for the reintroduction
of piece-work, has nevertheless evad-
ed the real issue and postponed action
until the next meeting which will con-
sist of New York members only. The
president thus gained time to line up
a majority of the New York members
to vote for piece-work, although this
is definitely against the decisions of
our conventions.
7. That the convention decision in
structing "the G.. E. B. to continue to
steer clear of fractional fights in the
organization and use all their influ-
ence with the locals to do likewise"
is being violated by the G. E. B. as
exemplified by their decisions affect
ing Locals and 43.
l am ready to substantiate the
above statements before any impair
tial tribunal or at any public hearing
before our membership. The fact is,
that the G. +. B. does not deny any
of my charges. In their statement of
April 9th, dealing with my suspen-
sion and removal, they do not deny
but evade the contents of my letter
They dismiss the facts contained in
my letter with a statement that ''they
would not lend any dignity to the
charges by considering them" The
fact, however, is that they cannot dis
pute the contents of that communica-
ton. The official communication of
the G. Z. B. tries to make insinuations
as to my competency and response
bility. would only have to refer our
general officers to the printed rec
ords of our own official publications

practice and tradition of our organi-
cation. l have been elected to the
G. E. B. by the convention and to
that extent represent the entire mem
bership to the same degree as every
other General Board member.
Certainly when charges are brought
against General Board member all
constitutional safeguards with regard
to fair trial should also be observed.
But the G. E. B. instead violated the
constitution, disregarded the tradi-
tons and practices of our organiza-
ton, found me guilty, and suspended
me from membership without trial.
They even failed to present me with
copy of the charges which may have
been made against me. Until this
very day, l was not notified of the
date set for trial, if any such date
was set at all.
The reasons why was not pre-
sented with a copy of the written
charges and was suspended without a
trial, are quite simple. There is moth
ing with which l could possibly be
charged that could stand any public
trial. Every statement / made in my
letter of March oath is correct and
the General Board is aware of this.
1t is because they know the truth of
my statements, that they could not
follow the regular procedure pre-
scribed by our constitution and adopt
ed instead the dictatorial method of
suspending me without the presenta-
ton of copy of the charges and
without trial. They limited them
selves to an announcement of their
unconstitutional action which was sent
to the locals, using a few general
meaningless phrases, insinuations and
empty words which they know they
cannot prove, and which have moth
ing to do with the charges which
they claim were entered against me.
In my letter of March gath / made
the following specific charges, which
I wish to repeat in this communica-
ton.
Zaritsky Against 40-Hour Week.
1. That President Zaritsky con-
cealed from the convention the fact
that he is against the 40-hour week
and that he favors the introduction
of the piece-work system. In fact
he made misleading statements to the
delegates when questioned about his
stand on these vital problems.
2. That at a meeting Of the G. E.
B. preceding the last full meeting of
March 2-10th, President Zaritsky
urged the board to recommend to the
New York capmakers the giving up of
the 40-hour week.

By ]. B. sALZBURG.

The General Executive Board issued
a circular letter to all locals of our
International Union, dated April 9th,
informing them that on April End the
G. E. B. held a special meeting and
decided: l. To remove me from the
office of manager of the Chicago
Joint Board and, 2. to suspend me
from membership in the General Exc
cutive Board.
The General Board in its letter
to the locals does not specify the rea-
sons for this unprecedented action.
They merely state that charges were
brought against me for violating Sec
ton l Of Article X of our constitu-
ton and that impaired the dignity
of our organization" They also
claim that I undermined and i'm
paired the dignity of the General
Board" by sending out my letter dated
March "a to all locals in which l
called the attention of our member
ship to some mSacing tendencies
which | thought were serious enough
to receive the immediate attention of
the entire organization.
Before proceeding further, ! wish
to make clear the technical question
concerning the, law and constitution
of our organization.
Suspended Without Trial.
The G. f. B. accuses me Of having
violated Section l Of Article X of
the constitution. But the General
Executive Board itself is violating all
the rules prescribed by that article
of our constitution. According to Ar
ticle X, charges should be made in
writing only, and a copy of such
charges must be served on the ac-
cused, who must be given an oppor-
tunity to defend himself at a regu-
larly institution trial. Only after
such procedure, if found guilty, may
action be taken against him. These
rules apply to every member and as
is known to all, has always been the

tuition, that this suspension is there
fore null and void and that I am still
member of the General Executive
Board. At least until 1, I have been
served with copy of the charges
made against me and until after
trial has taken place.
I also insist that there is a definite
tendency on the part of our highest
officers to violate the decisions of our
conventions, to sacrifice the most i'm
portant gains made by our member
ship, and to inaugurate period of
fractional fights similar to that which
destroyed the furriers' and cloakmak-
ers' unions.
trust that the membership will
demand definite statement from
the G. E. B. and our president with
regard to every one of the charges
made in my communication. Are they
true or are they not? The member
ship is entitled to know. Our men,
bers must insist that the gains made
by the organization shall be main
tanned and the decisions of the con-
yention be lived up to. If our presi-
dent deceived the convention on the
question of week-work and the 10
hours, he must not be permitted 20
materialize his secret designs which
are contrary to the adopted policies
of the organization. From these UNI
constitutional actions of our highest
officers | appeal to our entire men,
bership to (1) portest against the I'M
constitutional suspensions and expul-
sions; (2) demand an immediate halt
of, the fractional fight which our chief
officers are creating in the union;
and (3) bring sufficient pressure on
the president and the majority Of the
General Board not to sacrifice any of
the great achievements of our organi-
cation but carry out instead the de-
cisions and mandates of the conven-
ton.

the students. To one who knows the
struggle of American workers to OBJ
tain an education, it seems strange
to find the young workers in Moscow
receiving free quarters and all ex-
penses during the time they are in
school
| had read something of these ad-
vantages, but I had the impression
that the actual standards of life in
the Soviet Union are below those of
American workers, and that some
years would be required before they
could be compared. However, found
that Excluding some of the unneces-
sary American luxuries) the condi-
lions of the workers is much better
in many respects than in the United
States. Few American workers are
able to have such apartments as the
new homes being built for the work
ers. In Rostov, practically new
city is being constructed-of these
workers homes. Individual cottages
are built for those who do not wish
to live in the apartments. The food
of the Russian worker compares
most favorably with the food in
America. The people are well dressed,
but are by no means slaves to fashion.
Theatres are superior to those in
New York. After careful study of
Russian life and acquaintance with
many workers, 1 was unable to see
the superiority of American life. If
permitted to do so, and if it were not
for the duty of all American workers
to fight against capitalism in their

fer to live in the Soviet Union. But
/ must confess that Russian workers
do not have the private automobiles
all American workers are supposed to
possess.
Progress Towards Communist Society
The Russian workers are making
rapid progress on the road to a Com
munist society. The "Nepmen" are

the rapid development of agricultural
communes. Near Tambov, there are
two very successful American agri-
cultural communes.
