OPEN SHOP LEGAL
Schlesinger Is Signing
Fake Dress Boss Pact

The utter degeneration of the So
called international Ladies' Gar
ment Workers Union into a mere
racketeering outfit for a few was
definitely shown when the Schles-
niger clique in control are practi-
cally ready to sign an agreement
with the Dress Manufacturers AS
sociation, which openly legalizes the
open shop insthe dress industry.
And that the agreement will be
concluded in the greatest of hurries
is the certain belief of nearly every
one acquainted with the situation.
This is because of the huge mass
meeting of dressmakers held by the
left wing union in Cooper Union,
where the workers unanimous vote

NEGRO SEAMEN
RELATE HORROR
OF SUPPRESSION
"Get Back You S
Of a B (" Yelled
Captain
"Got to Keep Mum"
Officer Used Gun to
TerrOriZe Grew

An unbelievable tale of the incom-
potency Of the officers of the Lam
port and Holt liner Vestris, and a
description of the treatment of the
Negro crew as if they were animals
to be Gagged and sent to the bottom
of the sea, were stories told to two
reporters, Dunjee and Harlow, of
the Negro Champion, by rescued
members of the crew.
AT first the Negro seamen refused
to talk, saying that they had been
ordered to say nothing about the
disaster or to give any statements.
But later, after the reporters had
convinced them that they were not
spies, some members of the crew
talked freely.
Licorish a Hero.
H. Williams, Negro seaman from
Barbados, gave Dunjee vivid ac-
count of the fearless actions of many
Of the crew, especially of Lionel
Licorish, Negro quartermaster on
board the Vestris. Licorish, seeing
theeggeet-numbor drowning, jumped
into the sea from the crowded life
boat he was in, and struggled with
the raging sea until he secured oars,
and then swan to a boat. He sue
ceeded in saving 20 persons. Will
liams also told how those in the
boat in which he was, succeeded in
picking up one woman and five men.
After wrapping the woman in their
coats and landing her safely on the
Myriam, this woman thanked them
by referring to them as "niggers."
"Below, You Black Dog"
The most vivid story of all was
told by Joshua Ford, fireman for
the last five years, to Harlow. He
said.
"When we left Hoboken, coal port
on starboard side was partly open
and ship had 3-feet of water in bilge.
After leaving port, ship took bad
list to starboard side and quarter
master told me that she would not
answer her helm. On Sunday star
beard boilers were out of commits
sion on account of water in fire
room. When I went on deck found
passengers getting ready to take to
the boats. The captain and officers
at no time gave orders to lower
away. In fact it seemed as if the
officers were dazed.
"While on deck | saw friend of
mine, Miss Henrietta Cubbins of
Brooklyn Zone of those rescued and
in st. Vincent's HospitaD who had
fallen and had hurt her hip. | picked
her up and was about to place her
in a boat when the chief REFER en-
gineer rushed up to me with an axe
in his hand and shouted, Go below
you black dog In my opinion, cap
tain and officers were incompetent.
The crew acted cody and efficiently,
but owing to the dried out condition
of life boats, it was impossible to do
more"
An equally vivid story was told
by Donald Holder, fireman:

PAPER
IMPORTS SCABS
Italian Daily Tries to
Evade Rules

The Italian socialist paper, "Il
Nuovo Mundo," has locked out the
members of the italian Typographi-
cal Union No. 261, and is trying to
man its composing room with i'm
ported socialist scab printers from
various parts of the country.
Attempt to Cut Wages.
In an effort to maintain their sup
port from the few union workers
who still support their sheet, the
Italian socialist outfit defames the
membership of the union by calling
them fascists and publishing state
ments that the union membership
are protecting fascists. The real mo-
tive for the lockout, however, is an
attempt to cut the wages of the
printers.

al Nuovo Mundo" contends that
the union fights them because they
discharged fascist. The facts in
the case are that the man discharged
was suspected by the union members
three years ago of being a fascist
and so reported to the management
OF the paper. An investigation was
held and the management decided
the man was not fascist, or so at
least they told the rest of the work
ers. The management further de-
nounced the workers for charging
the man with having fascist sympa-
thies.
The Question of Wages.
The paper has been trying for
years to get reduction in wages,
on the plea that it was in financial
difficulties. The printers did every
thing they could to aid the paper
but refused to violate union rules or
work for scab wages. For instance
the printers had loaned the firm 20
per cent of their wages for the past
nine weeks. They also contributed to
certain sustaining funds and bought
bonds that they knew were worth
less, only in order to aid the paper.
But that was not sufficient. The
socialist outfit wanted scab shop.
