LEFT WING FIGHT
Sigman Stages Another
"Strike" Stunt

Over 100 organizations represented
by $50 delegates participated in q
highly successful conference held
Thursday night at 16 w. 21st St., by
the Joint Defense and Relief Commit
tee of the Cloakmakers and Furriers.
The conference was called for the
purpose of inaugurating the campaign
of the Defense Committee for a mini
mum sum of $4,000 with which to
continue the struggle to rebuild the
needle trades unions, to fight the le-
gal battles of workers threatened
with, or already in prison, and to
fight the injunctions of the bosses and
right wing union wreckers.
Many Organizations.
Represented at the conference were
numerous Workmen's Circle branches,
Women's Councils, Workers Clubs,
sections of the T. U. E. L. from nearly
all branches of New York industry,
and various progressive organiza-
tions. The conference unanimously
voted to get behind the drive to get
| 5000 new members for the Workers
Self Defense, an auxiliary organiza-
ton composed of those who are will
ing to buy a $40 bond for member
ship rights. The bonds are to serve
as a loan which will be repaid when
the present fight is over.
Need Is Urgent.
Joseph Borochovich, acting as
chairman, after few preliminary re-
marks introduced the new head of the
Defense Committee, julius Portnoy,
who stressed the immediate need for
large sums of money. He pointed to
the necessity for carrying to a sue
cessful conclusion the appeal for the
Mineola frame-up victims, the appeals
of the contempt of court sentences
imposed upon the Is leaders of the
Cloakmakers' Joint Board, and the
need for the relief of the two fur
riers now in Sing Sing on framed-up
evidence.
Ben Gold and Louis Hyman, lead
ers OF the Furriers' and Cloakmakers'
Joint Boards, followed Portnoy. They
reported on the situation in the two
industries. Ludwig Landy, former
head of the defense work, also spoke.
In the discussion that followed Morris
Taft, leader of the Pleaters' Local IL,
declared for his union that in spite
of the fact that Local Al is carrying
on the same fight, the union is ready
to pledge sum of $500. The rest
of the discussion proved that the cam
paign will not only reach its quota
but be oversubscribed.

Green did not take the stand but on
two occasions answered questions at
length from the floor.
1.-THE whole trend of our develop
ment has been more and more to-
wards the acceptance of arbitration
and the lengthening of agreements, u
he said. 1--WE are after industrial
peace" he stated. Everything is go
ing in that direction"
When asked to give some examples
of the acceptance and successful OPP
Grafton of the principles of arbitra-
ton, Green gave the mining industry

ployerS ana .4~ government police
have been conducting war of ex-
termination against the union, in
which the coal companies have re-
fused altogether to attend the recent
Invitation" of the government for a
conference. In 1925 the whole issue
conferred around the bitter refusal of
the workers to accept arbitration.
ExpeI the Militants.
In the course of explaining the pro-
posal further Cohen brought out the
fact that it was planned to secure
compliance with the law by means of
"fines and penalties, but especially
through the action Of the parties
themselves who would if necessary
expel members or groups from their
ranks Who did not comply"
This statement followed an earlier
one by Green that there were two

ing that they would nave to be ex-

Foster, national secretary of the
Trade Union Educational League
sought unsuccessfully to secure the
stand to testify in opposition to the
proposed bill which he has charac-
terized as menace"
81 shall try again tomorrow" he
announced. "Then it will become clear
to everyone whether this is not as we
have stated, a pre-arranged frame-up
of the workers in which the open shop
interests are cooperating with the la
Dor bureaucrats who are seeking to
make permanent berth for them
selves under the law because they now
fear the rising tide of the workers
