GUNS TO KILL WORKERS
By JOE PLOTKIN.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 26.-Every
district in the city is at present
equipped with riot guns, and every
policeman on the force taught to
handle them. Chief of Police Clerk
announced that the guns will be used
as means of protection against
|gangsters, gunner, bandits and other
law violators. To many it is OBJ
Ivious what Chief Clerk means by
"other law violators."
At present with the thousands OF
unemployed in St. Louis it is only a
question of time when bread riots
will break out. 1t is for these jobless
workers that the riot guns are being
prepa' ed. The charity organizations
are crowded every day by the needy,
and many are not being taken care of.
The skilled building trades workers
are harder hit then usual in this
present period Of unemployment, and
many union men are working for
contractors paying half the wages the
union scale calls for.

does not expect that the labor bureau
cracy, the VOLS and the Greens and
Company. will have change of heart
and come out for labor party. These
elements are the labor lieutenants of
imperialism in the labor movement
and they will continue to serve their
masters and do everything possible to
prevent the organization of a labor
party or united labor ticket.
At the same time we have the La
Toilette, Norris, Borah Group which,
while from time to time appearing
and acting in the role of insurgents,
in reality plays the role for the bour-
geoisie in attempts to dissipate all
existing sentiment for labor Party
by one form or another. These ele-
ments are not even ready to break
with the old parties and organize a
third party. They would do this only
if there was a tremendous mass pres
sure for labor party and then they
could turn this sentiment into the
channels of a third party under the
leadership of these elements in the
interests of the capitalist class. The
Workers (Communist) Party full well
understands this danger and a whole
campaign has been worked out by the
Party to educate the Party member
ship and the workers of the role
that these elements play

THE 1923 election campaign, the
prospects for Labor Party or at
east united labor ticket and the
participation of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party in the coming elections
will be thoroly discussed at the COM

utive Committee of the Party to be
held in New York beginning with the
TIL of February.
To Discuss Labor Party Sentiment
From the report received at the
National Office from the field organ

clear already that there exists grow
ing sentiment among the masses of
1rganized workers for a labor party

The Plenum of the Central Exec
utive Committee, at which there will
De represented all the districts of the

Nor is the Workers Party blind to
the role that the Socialist Party
plays.
The Socialist Party stands opposed
to labor party in that it stands op-
posed to the development of the class
theology of the workers, to the
separation of the workers from the
two old Parties, the Republican and
Democratic Parties. The Socialist
Party is playing right into the hands
of the labor bureaucrats by announc-
ing that it will run ticket of it's own
and claiming that the Socialist Party
is the labor party. In this role they
do not come in conflict with the labor
bureaucratic, but on the contrary COM
pletely surrender to the labor bureau
Gratis, allowing them to continue to
betray the masses and to sell them
to the two old Parties.
The Plenum will discuss the united
front and it's relation to the Socialist
Party.
While working out plan to in
tensify the campaign for a labor
Party or at least united labor ticket
in the coming elections, the Workers
(Communist) Party will at the same
time go ahead with it's plans, prepar-
ing to place it's ticket on the ballot,

A few months ago the forward
and the Justice" began widespread
publicity campaign about Sigman's
new plan to save the cloak industry.
Discussions went on in the employ
ers' circles and in "Women's Wear"
Sigman gave numerous interviews.
The entire right wing press was full
of hints and comments as to the i'm
portance of this new plan that was
to be proposed by Sigman at Cen
eral Executive Board meeting. A gen
eral atmosphere of expectancy was
created in the entire market and
everyone awaited the announcement
as to what might be the new panacea
to save the cloak industry.
The plan was not revealed at the
board meeting, but after months of
idle speculation we finally learn the
profound nature of it. He solemnly
decreed that all contracting shops be
banished from the industry and that
large shops be organized in their
place, anu Lie way W dCNVliipiioi ehio
was simply to convince the employ
ers of the advantages to be derived
both by the workers and the employ
ers, by adopting Sigman's program
(Alas, the employers turned d2af
ear to his convincing arguments.)
The dress problem is today APP
preached in much the same manner
as Siglnan's previous plan to save
the cloakmakers. Tho it is already a
few months since discussion has
been started about strikes, stoppages
and walkouts in the dress industry
the month of January has almost
passed but we are still in the dark
as to Sigman's plans.
Planned to Liquidate.
AS far back as last October Sig
man began to confer with the dress
contractors. 1t is known fact now
that the subject under discussion at
these conferences was the imminent
dissolution Of the Dress Contractors
Association which had in reality
ceased to function and had become
an organization in name only, as
frankly admitted by it's officers.

event it is impossible to have a labor
party in the coming elections the
Workers Party will be prepared to
put forward it's own ticket and to
carry on a struggle for the immediate
demands of the workers and at the
same time have as one of its chief

unions.
Some Errors.
The Plenum will also take up the
problem Of creating the proper or
ganizational basis for the coming
election campaign and to overcome
the apathy which exists among the
ranks of some comrades to election
campaigns.
Another problem that will be taken
up will be to discuss the errors made
by some comrades in the field in the
conduct of the labor party campaign
thru their failure to always bear in
mind that it is the duty Of the Com
munists to bring forth the independ-
ent role of the Communist Party in
these campaigns.
All good standing members of the
Workers (Communist) Party will be-
admitted to the sessions of the Cen
trail Executive Committee.

Sigmans New Plan to Save Dressmakers

chiefly comprised of officers, most of
whom are themselves beginning to
realize the futility of maintaining an
organization in name only.
The bitter hatred of the dressmak-
ers toward the clique, which had ac-
cumulated in the course of many years
of persecution and expulsion, has
now reached point of desperation
where the workers are ready to risk
all in their determination to wipe out
the Sigman machine, and any plan
undertaken by Sigman under the pre-
vailing conditions is doomed to fail
ure at its very inception.
For Catch Phrase.
The Sigman clique, in spite of its
boasts Of having subdued the dress
makers, is well aware of the desper-
ate condition in which it finds itself
Hence so much time is devoted ir
the discussion Of various mysterious
plans which they are reluctant tc
make public. The big chief HICKMAN
and his new assistant Reisberg have
called together joint meetings of their
so-called executive boards from the
various locals. Sigman and the other
chiefs also attended these meetings
and jabbered about strikes, stoppages
ana organization drives. Some de
clared all these schemes to be old
fashioned. HICKMAN has set his
whole staff industriously exploring
dictionaries in an effort to discover
some new catch-phrase chat would
stir the imagination Of the dressmak-
ers" as he expressed it.
Once more the machinery has been
set in motion to arouse the curiosity
Of the workers as to what exactly
the Sigman-Hochman combination.
whose "throne" is beginning to shake,
are planning for the dressmakers. The
same veil of mystery, behind which
Sigman's plan to save the cloak in
dustry was shrouded, has now been
transferred to the dress industry. All
this hesitancy on the part of the
clique to come forth with any pro
posals is an indication of the hopeless
situation in which they find them
selves today Sigman's new plan to
save the dressmakers will IN all prob
ability follow its predecessor (the
(large shop plan) to oblivion.

public announcement of the dissolu-
ton of the Dress Contractors Asso-
citation, following close on the heels of
the liquidation of the Jobbers' Asso-
citation, particularly at a time when
it was proclaiming to the entire world
that Sigman had the situation we'll
in hand.
1t was therefore decided at that
conference that during the dull sea-
son the international would subsidize
the association, and promise was
made that at the beginning of the
new season radical steps would be
taken to improve the situation. One
of the proposals made, was to call
a general strike in the dress indus
try, proposal which Sigman knew
could not be carried out because the
basic requirements for successful
strike in any industry is leadership
which has the confidence Of the work
ers, which exercises control over them
and can mobilize them for the strug-
gle; situation which does not exist
in Sigman's union.
The Dress industry Today.
The dress industry, which at the
beginning of the present struggle had
barely recovered from the destruc-
tive effects of the civil war forced
on the union by Sigman in 1925, was
hard hit by his new expulsion crusade
which cane but few weeks befor<
the expiration of the agreement in
the dress industry. The dress con-

grasped the opportunity to press
greater concessions from the union
and lined up in full support Of the
Sigman machine, which concluded an
agreement with them behind the
backs of the dressmakers.
1t is an undisputed fact even in
the ranks of the Sigman clique that
the overwhelming majority of the
dressmakers supported the left adj
ministration and only thru the most
drastic and ruthless methods was it
possible for Sigman with the aid of
the jobbers and contractors to ter
rorize portion of the workers into
registering with his union. For a
period Of thirteen months the dress

born resistance to Sigman's hired
gangs. The most desperate and spec
tacular struggles during the past
year occurred in front of the dress
shops. Every inch of ground was de-
Tended in a most heroic manner.
Faced Starvation.
Hundreds of workers were thrown
out Of the shops, choosing starvation
rather than submission to the Sig
man machine. The best union shops
were destroyed in the course of Sig
mans registration campaigns. The
open shop spread turnout every nook
and Granny of the trade without any
check. Wages are now reduced to the
lowest level, working hours are I'M
limited and unemployment is ram
pant. Misery and starvation have be-
come the lot Of the great mass Of the
dressmakers.
The jobbers, who had extended open
arms to Sigman at the outbreak of
the struggle, concluding an agree
ment with the International, have
used the Sigman machine as a tool
to further their ends in destroying
the union and shaking off whatever
responsibility they carried for the
working conditions in the industry
Having accomplished their aim, they
no longer saw any further need for
continuing their relations with Sig
mans union and thereupon completely
liquidated their association.
Contractors Officials Hit.
The agreement concluded by the
Contractors Association with the Sig
man machine, which had no control
over the membership soon began to
show disastrous results not only for
the workers but for the contractors
as well. The chaos wrought by Sig
mans pogrom, his failure to enforce
the agreement with the jobbers, the
unhampered growth of the open shop
the failure and inability to carry or
organizational work, did away with
the necessity for contractors to seek
protection against the union by join
ing an association, with the result
that the Contractors Association
with a membership of close to eight
hundred firms has now been reduced
to an insignificant number, and 1,
