MILLINERS FORCE
FIRMS TO YIELD
Local 43 Gains in Fight
on Zaritsky

Another one of the millinery manu-
facturers who lent assistance to the
attempt of the right wing in the Cloth
Hat, Cap and Millinery Union to
destroy Women's Local 43, because
of its progressive policies, learned
that militant picketing demonstra-
tons are a very powerful argument
against lockouts, when the Biaritz
Hat Co., 90 w. Both ST., was forced
to take back to work the girls it had
locked out for refusing to obey the
bosses order to abandon their own
organization and register in the right
wing Local "a.
The attempted dissolution Of the
local was made by the clique con-
trolled general executive board under
the slogan of fake amalgamation
scheme.
While the struggle against the
union wreckers is going on in full
force on the picket lines, the militant
union leadership has by no means ne
elected to carry on similar fight
within the framework of the union.
Blockers To Hear Local AZ Case.
A committee from Local 43, after
presenting their case in visit to the
executive board of Blockers' Local AZ,
succeeded in gaining the permission
Of that local to appeal to blockers'
membership meeting for backing in
their fight against the Zaritsky
clique. The Local AZ board did this
despite express instructions to the
contrary telegraphed by Zaritsky.
The Local AZ executive board de-
cided to allow the appeal to its mem
bership, and at the same time told
Zaritsky that he could also come to
the meeting and defend his viewpoint.
The committee from the women's To-
cal gladly accepted this opportunity
to face Zaritsky. The committee to
appear before the meeting is COM
posed of Gladys Schechter, leader of
the local, Frieda Fraidis, organizer,
Ida Kreichmal and Gussie Rosen,
executive board members.

FOR OCCUPANCY
Restaurant to Move in
New Building Soon

Work has been started to make the
ground floor of the Workers Center,
1928 Union Square, ready for occu-
pancy. Within a few weeks the Pro-
letcos Cooperative Restaurant, which
is now at 80 Union Square, will move
into its new home on this floor, where
it will have two and half times as
much space as in it's present quar-
ters. The front part of the ground
floor will also be occupied by the
Workers Bookshop, which is temper
arily located on the second floor.
Painters are now painting the cell
ing and walls on this floor and soon
work will be begun on the great sym
bolistic frieze that will stretch around
the walls of the new restaurant. This
frieze, which has been designed by
Hugo Gellert, will symbolic the food
process from its origin until it is
ready to be served.
All plans at the Workers Center
are now directed towards the great
concert and dance which will be held
Saturday evening, June 2. At this
time William w. Weinstone, district
organizer of the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party and secretary of the board
of directors of the Workers Center,
will present red, revolutionary ban
ner to the unit that makes the high
est totals in the drive for 100000 to
establish the Center.
To End Campaign.
The time remaining until the con-
cert will serve as the wind-up of the
drive. Many units have not yet
raised their quotas and it will be
necessary for them to work hard in
order to do so by June 2. All pledges
should be collected Immediately and
the sale of Worker Center bricks"
should continue with greater energy
than ever before.

SIGMAN LAYS new
100000 TAX
Fake Convention Wants
Workers 3 Days Pay

BOSTON, Mass, May 17.-While
thousands of the rank and file of the
cloak and dressmakers in New York
were demonstrating their determine
ton to follow the leadership of the
National Conference of the militant
delegates in their renewed struggle
to rebuild the union, the Sigman-con-
trolled convention here was complet-
ing its convention sessions by voting
taxes on the membership to the extent
of 8 days pay from each worker.
Vote Tax.
While the cloak and dressmakers
in several large halls in New York,
were enthusiastically adopting the
resolution outlining the plans to re-
gain union conditions in the shops,
and were unanimously voting for Q
voluntary $40 tax to carry out this
program, not the membership, but

destructive war against the last yes,
tige of unionism in the national cloak

Another development at the So
called convention of the right wing
was the hourly expectation Of
patching up of the difference between
the Sigman and Schlesinger-B reslau
cliques.
Although this agreement" is ex-
pected, the latest reports stated that
it has not yet been concluded despite
the recalling from New York of Mos-
ris Hillquit, boss of the socialist
party Hillquit had abandoned Boston
after conferences conducted for sew
eral days had proved fruitless. Schles-
niger still demanded more than a
mere membership on the general exc
cutive board, as was the offer made
him by the Sigman gang.

problems is characteristic of the en-
tire convention. No delegate dares to
speak on vital questions. Up to the
present not a single delegate has taken
the floor.
The delegates are surrounded by
so-called guests who are managers and
other paid officials from every local
ity. The "guests" speak and rule the
convention while the delegates look on.
Apathy and fear predominant, the
delegates fearing to take the floor.
To Create Spirit.
The convention drags without any
enthusiasm. Attempts artificially
to create spirit thru distribution of tin
whistles, gavels, bells and automobile
horns do not help greatly, altho the
delegates dutifully follow instructions
and create noise.
Joseph Schlossberg, general secre-
tary of the union, reporting for the
general executive board, made his
usual type of talk. He claimed credit
for establishing one joint board in
New York and said that the workers
are delighted with the administration
of the union, there being no faction
alism. The union, he continued, has
successfully combatted its inside and
outside enemies and has successfully
signed agreements in Chicago and Ro-
chester. AS to the 40 hour week,
Schlossberg said that it could wait,
there being no hurry.
A telegram from the Montreal Of
ficialdom read at the convention adj
mits the terrorism policy practised
there is running the organization.
The feature of yesterdays session
was the real estate business of the
union. Hillman, Schlossberg and Abb
raham Kasin, manager of the Anal
gamated Cooperatives, thanked the
Jewish Daily Forward, who, he said,
invested $350,000 in the Amalgamated
houses.
Most of yesterday afternoons ses-
sion was taken up by the arrival of
the workers from the Nash shop who
were marshalled into demonstration.
Everything was prearranged, includ-
ing music, flowers and artificial en-
thusiasm. Speeches were made by
several shop chairmen. Sam Levin,
boss of the Chicago Joint Board, spoke
of tolerance" and "unseltishness."

Further disclosures yesterday as
to the character Of the contributors
to the Smith campaign slush fund
and as to their reasons for making
gifts" of such sums as $4,000 re-
vealed that in practically every in
stance these donors are connected
with the Morgan interests which are
seeking to put over the so-called
"unification" plan on the city.
In addition to William F. Kenny
who admitted that he owns thous-
ands of shares of Third Avenue trac-
ton stock, it was disclosed that Her.
bert Lehman, a banker who contri-
buted $4,000 is likewise connected
with the traction interests. On the
stand Lehman testified that he was
not an owner of traction stock. This
if not deliberate act Of perjury is
at least next to it. The firm of bank
ers of which Lehman is a partner
at 16 Williams st. and his brother
Robert, member of the firm is the
owner Of such stocks. Robert Leh-
man is a director Of the New York
Railways Corporation which owns
considerable Of the New York sur
face lines. He is also a director of
the Yellow Truck and Coach Manu-
featuring Company Of Chicago which
is q Morgan controlled firm.
James J. Riordan, another of the
large contributors to the Smith slush
fund, formerly director of the U. S.
Trucking Corporation, a Morgan con-
trolled $12,000,000 concern in which
Al Smith for a time held the posi-
ton as chairman of the board of
directors, is now a director of the
County Trust ompany. Other direct
ors of this bank, likewise controlled
by the Morgan interests, are Vincent
Astor large owner Of marlborough
stock and John J. Raskob, a director
Of the General Motors and the Du-
pont firm, both Morgan controlled.
When Rasbob returned from Europe
recently, Al Smith found it necessary
to meet him at the pier for reasons
not yet definitely revealed. Another
director of this Morgan bank is the
same Herbert Lehman who testified
that he had no interests in the trac-
ton issue. Lehman was also the
manager of the 1926 Smith campaign,
fact which connects Smith directly
with the Morgan interests.
Van Nance, now manager of the
Smith campaign and who according
to his own admissions received the
money in cash from the other contri-
butors is chairman of the up state
public service commission. The law
forbids public service commissioners
from having such connections with
utilities or directors of utilities. In
1916 four public service commission
ers were removed for similar activi-
ties. Al Smith knows this, Of course,
because he was in the Albany as
sembly at the time. He is now play
ing the game of the traction interests
entirely in the open, confident that
the plans are well laid. Thus far
he has said nothing against the plan
to put over an increased fare and a
huge unification deal.

GROUPS TO help
IN THE CAMPAIGN
Demand Cessation of
All Controversies

The CentraEa prisoners, serving
sentences of 25 to 40 years on a
frame-up murder charge at the State
Penitentiary at Walla Walla, Wash
ington, have addressed, through Inter
national Labor Defense, an appeal to
the labor movement everywhere to
organize mass protest movement to
effect their release from prison. The
statement reads in part as follows:
"For some time we have been plead
ing with our friends and fellow work
ers for united campaign for our re-
lease. We want a movement as broad,
or even broader, than the labor move
ment-in short, we want the support
of every man, woman and child who
loves justice, or hates injustice; and
whether they be laborer or banker,
saint or sinner, we not only welcome
their support, but beg for it. We feel
that we have a right to do so, for we
are entirely innocent of any crime and
are only here because of our efforts
to better the lot Of the working class.
AOhSHG Il VI W VI hSAes
ut seems now that our pleadings
for united campaign for our release
are about to bear fruit and we want
to beg all factions of the labor move
ment to forget their fractional differ
ences and pull together for our re-
lease. Our case is not factional We
are here for the whole working class
We are being prosecuted solely be-
cause we are workers. We were
singled out for special persecution be-
cause the lumber trust-the industrial
masters of this state-saw in us the
embodiment of the workers ideals.
and sought to make an example of US
that would chill the hearts of the
workers and instil in their minds a
fear that would make it forever i'm
possible to organize them for the bet
torment of their conditions.
Want United Front.
"We want the support and coop
Grafton of all elements in a united
movement for our release. We not
only welcome and appreciate the help
and support of the I. L. D. but we
have begged for it; just as we have
begged for, and welcome and appreci-
ate the support of all other elements
Of the working class who devote them
selves to our cause.
"We want all to understand that we
who have given the best years of our
lives for the workers cause, have
