international Ladies' Garment
Workers Union were to use in
their campaign to fasten COM
pany unionism on the workers
in the industry by fighting
their attempts to build a real union
of their own, was revealed yester-
day. This money has already been
spent.
Implicated in this deal to crush the
workers in their fight for liveable
working conditions and at the same
time to sell them and to sell their
votes to the Tammany machine are:
Benjamin Schlesinger, who is about
to become the new president of the
discredited remnant of the l. L. G.
w. u, the socialist Jewish Daily
Forward, the leaders of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers Union,
the leaders of the socialist party
machine, and Colonel Lehman, who
got the right wing machine half of
this fund.
$25.000 From Forward, Amalga-
mated.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars of
this fund was contributed by the
Forward and an equal amount was
pledged and in due time delivered by
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union thru its bank.
Morris Hillquit and Norman
Thomas, one the chief of the So
cialist party, and the other, its can
didate for president in the coming
elections, were both at the last con-
vention of the right wing Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment. Workers

where Benjamin Schlesinger received
Hillquit's and Thomas backing for
the presidency of the union.

With the union wreck because
of the right wings policy of fight
ing the left wing, who were at that
time holding conference in the
same city to form a new national
union, Schlesinger demanded of his
hackers, Hillquit, and Abe Cahan
of the Forward, that he be guaran-
teed fund of s100, 900 before he
would take the helm in the reac-
tionary drive against the workers in
the industry. The fund was pro-
vided, even tho the socialist party
leaders had to go to Tammany Hall
/ to get it.
The whole complicated deal OF
Tammany Hall, the socialist party,
and its trade union bureaucrats, was
made at time when the left wing
struggle to build new union was
gathering tremendous headway ma

so that the work Of Tightening the

ON november 4
Funeral Planned at the
Madison So. Garden

Carried by six prominent pail
bearers, the political body of Morris
Sigman will officially be buried in
effigy at Madison Square Garden on
Sunday night, Nov. A. The pail
bearers will be, in all probability:
Matthew Woll, Norman Thomas,
Benjamin Schlesinger, Al Smith,
William Green and Herbert Hoover.
The occasion will be the celebration
of the 18th anniversary of the Rus
sian revolution.
AS the mournful strains of
Chopin's Funeral March fill the
monster meeting hall, a coffin,
draped in yellow, will be carried to
the last resting place of the labor
faker. This spectacle will be part
of the much-heralded Pageant of
the Class Struggle" which is one of
the features of the celebration.
Irish comrades will hold a wake
over the body and place blessed
candles at the head of the coffin as
Sigman lies in state. Jewish COM

ashes over their heads in mourning

STRONG PROTEST
FORCES FEDERAL
OFFICIALS HAND
Notice Evades Mention
Of Real Reason For
Barring Paper
Danger Still Imminent
Labor Urged to Keep
Up Support

Officials of the Post Office
Department at WASHINGTON
yesterday countermanded the
order of the New York post Of
flee which Tuesday held up the
big special election edition of
the Daily Worker. In a wire
signed by Postmaster General
Harry S. New, several hundred
thousand copies of the Cali
fornia and other special edi-
tlons which have been denied
the mails are restored to second
class privileges.
At the same time certain new
and peculiar specifications are laid
down which indicate that the issue
is by no means closed and nav
again be revived at any moment
thought favorable by the govern
ment officials.
Emp,oy Subterfugc.
As was foreshadowed yesterday.
post office officials have sought to
camouflage the original reason for
alolding up the paper because it is
.ihe "organ of political party" in
..'he new claim that the paper was
denied the mails because of a ques-
ton over the failure to- report the
price at which the special editions
were put out.
Your post office has been ad-
vised," the wire states, "to accept
themN (the copies of the special edi-
tion) at second class pound rates"
Then follows the significant pas
sage which may be used in the fu-
ture as new pretext for holding
up the paper:
"in similar cases in the future"
the wire reads, "you should
furnish your postmaster with
evidence of purchase of copies and
amount paid for them"
May Be Trick.
This new provision which nay be
interpreted in various ways accord
ing to the whim of the post office
officials may at any time be used as
the excuse again to bar the paper.
The provision "evidence of purchase
of copies" and the amount paid
for them" are obviously impossible
of fulfillment in most instances since
80 paper can be expected to secure
eldvance evidence of purchase par
ticularly when the question of what
constitutes evidence" is to be de-
cided by the post office.
The added burden and expense
which have been placed on the Daily
Worker as a result of the new at
tack, as well as the unusual ndi-
tion set down for it in the future
forces the paper to continue its ap-
peal for financial aid to members
of the Workers Party and its SYM
pathizers. Workers are urged to
continue their support of the paper
and to send in contributions in order
that very serious crisis lay be
averted.

FIRE THREATENS
CLARK BUILDING
Careful Work of Fire De-

Small Area Between
Floors.

Had 1t not been for the fact
that Harve Perry and some other
employees OF the j. G. Penney Com
pany we're working until after
midnight, it is probable that the
Clark building would have been
a mass of ruins this morning
Shortly before they we're ready
to leave the store smoke was no
ticed TO be issuing from the CELL
ing. Perry rushed upstairs and
discovered the flooring OF a va
cant office 10 be burning
An alarm was turned IN at once
and the fire department respond
ed promptly. Under the direction
of Fire Chief Case the men OF
the department fought the lire
between the floor and ceiling With
great care. Only small amount
of water and some chemicals were
used.
Perry covered the large stock n
his store below as nearly as pos
sible with oil cloth which minlmlz-
ed the damage from water and
smoke.
1t is the theory OF Fire Chief
Case that the fire resulted from
hot ashes or Goals which had been
placed in a box IN the vacant
room on the second floor.
The total damage will probably
not be over 5000.
