Defy the Fake Move of Green, VOL
and Schlesinger

December 10Th, the day when the left wing
cloak and dress makers and the fur garment
and pelt workers intend to open the sessions
of two conventions in New York City which
will be merged before they are over into one
amalgamated needle trades union, rapidly
approaches.
To the reactionary union bureaucracy in
the Jewish labor movement, the spectre of a
fast approaching Dec. 20 meant the need for
mighty efforts in gathering their union
wrecking forces to stem the tide of en-
thusiasm growing among the workers in the
industry.
In the fur industry, the scab union needed
but the final push, which the convention
would have provided, to shove it off it's pre-
carious perch atop the bosses shoulder. So
the two employers associations were united,
both will grant new fake agreement to the
A. F. of L. company union, which thus OBJ
tains brief extension of it's lease on life.
Benjamin Schlesinger, chief of the cloak
makers company union, on the other hand,
was also faced with decentralization of his
company union. And he too needed an an
tidote to the developing sentiment for the
new left wing union. So, with the yellow
forger, the Jewish Forward, as midwife, a
trade program and peace plank" was
formed.
And the anxious godfathers, William Green
and Matthew Woll, recuperating from New
Orleans hangovers, recovered sufficiently to
greet the Schlesinger offspring. kilograms
of congratulations were sent. But in so far
as having an effect on the workers who were
intended dupes of the program" and fake
plan, it had none The offspring was still
born!
The reason Schlesinger, Matt Woll and
Bill Green now try to induce the workers
they have failed to deliver bound and gagged
to the bosses to join the fake union is be-
cause they realize that they are no longer
able even to function in the industry as
agents of the bosses. The workers are wise
to them.
Workers in the needle trades know that
the Schlesinger offer to let all back into
the company union with permission to run
for office provided they are qualified by the
Schlesinger constitution" is hypocritical
ruse to harm their drive to build the new
Gates" to scab sweat shop contractors. They
know very we'll that the crux of Schlesinger's
trade program is the establishment of graft
Gates" to scab sweat shop contractors. They
will have nothing to do with the dead off
spring of degenerate scab agents
Shop chairmen and active members of the
left wing cloak and dressmakers union, meet
ing at an enthusiastic conference in the big
Cooper Union auditorium, gave the proper
answer to this latest swinde of the scab
union leaders.
