TRUE DEMOCRATS
They Elect Themselves
Unanimously
(By Worker Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, (By MaiD.
The elections from the Philadelphia
locals of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union to the Ma
tional Convention have been held IN
the usual farcical Sigman fashion.
Locals
Local 40 with membership of 800
elected 8 delegates. Local ~ with a
membership OF 100 elccted 2 dele
gates. Local. SO with membership
of 40 elected 2 delegates. Local II
with a membership u 100 elected
2 delegates. Local AZ with no mem
bership elected two Sigi,lan delegates.
Local so with atmemoership of 700
elected only A delegates.
How the delegates were elected in
each local is a huge Joke, or more
correctly as far as the militant
workers were concerned, a sad, very
sad story.
Local 50, of which the writer is
a member, has not held meeting
of any Kind for a period of one
year. This is no surprise to the men,
bership, for it was to be expected.
When the election of delegates to the
joint board was necessary, a meet
ing was called, and much to the sur
prise of the Sigman gang, the meet
ing was a success.
Embarrassing Questions
The membership started asking
questions of the Sigman gang in con-
troll, such as why meetings are not
called and why trade union questions
are not taken up and why certain
members, militants, are not permitted
to speak.
Hearing these questions, the gang
were afraid to call meeting Of dele

/ KENOSHA, Wis, (By Mai).-
The strike of the men and womel
organized in the American Fedora
ton of Full-Fashioned Hosiery
Workers Union, against the open
shop Allen-A company of Kenosha
Wis, is now in its tenth week. The
strike involves $50 workers, most Of
whom are young workers.
Speed-up.
The strike followed the attempt OF
the labor-hating Allen-A company tc
introduce an intense speed-up system
! by forcing the workers to work on
two knitting machines instead of one
It is claimed that the Allen-A
company purchased some machinery
recently from a Philadelphia concern
The Philadelphia concern advised the
Allen-A to speed up its employees So
that in a short time the firm would
be able to make sufficient profits to
cover its expenses in purchasing the
machinery.
Be that as it may, no sooner did
the Kenosha firm decide upon its
vicious speed-up policy than they
began laying off workers from time
to time. First they fired only two
workers, then two more and then
more and more. The workers fired
were those who actively opposed the
new speed-up policy of the Allen-A
mill.
Threaten Lockout
BY this time there was so much dis
content among the workers that the
company held meeting with them
and issued an ultimatum as follows:
Either accept the two machine sys-
tenn or you will be locked out"
The workers refused to accept and
were locked out.
Immediately line Of pickets was
thrown about the mill The enthusi-
asm and determination of the young
strikers was splendid. They pieketed
so effectively that the production of
from approximately 5000 dozen to
about 200 dozen. Those now made
are of an inferior grade.
Import Scabs.
In spite of a state law prohibiting
the importing of scahs and hired
thugs, the Allen-A company import
ed them from out-of-town in des-
perate effort to break the strike.
These hired thugs, together with the
local police, began beating up the
workers on the picket line and num-
erous arrests were made. On April
2, about 45 strikers were arrested on
some false pretense.
However, instead of breaking the
spirit of the workers, these attempts
of the bosses steeled the workers to
struggle on more determined thar
ever. The company urged it's hirec
hooligans on against the men. The
result was that one young striker
Walter Duffin, was knitted about the
face and body and is under a doctors
care This worker had taken a lead
/ ing part in the heroic struggle Of
the men and the bosses were forced
to take desperate means to break thu
union. solidarity of the men.

EASTER OBSERVANCE

Easter Sunday this year falls on April 8, ex-
actly midway between the earliest and latest pos
sible dates established for this important Christian
festival which may occur as early as March 22 or
as late as April 25.
Strictly speaking, the observance Of Easter was
an innovation introduced into the church calendar
more than hundred years after the ministry OF
Christ being a continuation outgrowth of the
Jewish Passover.
There is no trace of the observance OF Easter
as a Christian festival recorded in the New Testa-
ment or in the writings of the apostolic fathers.
Neither Christ nor his apostles enjoyed the keeping
of this or any other particular feast. The early
Christians being derived principally from the Jewish
church. continued to observe the old Jewish festi-
vals hence their Passover was perpetuated in the
spirit of their new religion and eventually became
the feast we now celebrate Easter.
The date of Easter observance was the subject
of some of the most bitter controversies which rent
the early church, at one time no less than three
different dates having been observed in the same
year by various branches.
The very name of Easter is from the old
Teutonic mythology, being derived from Eostre, the
Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring.
But, however originated, Easter commentaries
the central basis of the Christian religion, the res
direction of Christ and has been observed from
very early times with stately and elaborate cere-
monial, coupled with many curious and interesting
popular customs, among which the sending of
Paschal eggs, is one of the most universal
This custom, in turn, is derived from pagan
sources, the egg being known to the ancients as a
symbol of Immortality

Republican convention at Kansas City together
Tuesday for the purpose of selecting Minnesota's
member of the National committee. Heretofore the
committeeman has usually been elected while the
delegates We're enroute to the National convention
city. Mr.. Mckenzie had the machine well creased
and he was named committeeman. He has plenty
of ability as an organizer. There may have been
some method in his haste to get the election over
early because by the time the delegates leave for
Kansas City it will be quite apparent that Mr..
Lowden's chances for the nomination will have
gone glimmering and McKenzie's selection as the
head of the party in Minnesota would not have
appealed to the delegates perhaps.
