naught. We must take up a militant
struggle against the contracting and
sweat-shop systems which have
spread like an epidemic during the
pogrom period. We must fight
against the speed-up system and the
standard of production that reduces
US to mere automatons. We must
re-establish week work in our entire
industry. We must re-establish the
unemployment insurance fund on a
basis where the funds will be under
the control of the workers themselves.
The industry must once more be
placed under union control. We must
see to it that every cloak and dress
maker should earn a decent livelihood
in the industry Sigman, like the
steel king, Mr.. Schwab, the Abe
Gains and the Lewises, declares that
there are too many workers.
Urge Industrial Union.
Sigman says that we must get rid
of large number of cloakmakers.
We say that the unemployment of the
cloak and dressmakers comes primar-
| lily from the fact that the workers are
compelled to slave 20 and 80 hours
per week under hurry-up system.
eve must unite with all unions in
the needle trades in order to build a
mighty industrial union that will
stand up against the united power of
the bosses and lead the workers from
victory to victory. We must go hand
in hand with the heroic striking min
ers, the heroic striking textile work.
ers and all others that are fighting
in an open struggle against the ex-
ploitation of the capitalists and their
servants-these agents of the capt.
talists who break our strikes and
bring misery and starvation to the
workers and their families who are
fighting in the class war against capt.
talism. We must remember that the
struggle on the economic field is not
enough; that the workers must have
their own labor party to defend their
interests on the political field
Victory Certain.
1T is years and years since the
strenuous. struggle of the militant,
constructive elements in our union
against the traitors and agents of the
bosses has been on. 1t is 10 months
that the pogrom carried on by the
Sigman regime with the help of the
police, spies, provocators, courts,
prisons and guerillas, has been on.
The pogrom, however, has not OBJ
scured the class consciousness of the
rank and file. The terror has been
of no avail to the clique. 1t is now
weaker, more insignificant, more
pitiable than ever before. The work
ers are not with them. 1t has lost the
last vestige of respect from every de-
cent union man. Such pillars of the
machine as Ninfo, Breslau and Du-
binsky have openly confessed the
bankruptcy Of the clique. They have
admitted on the floor of the conven-
ton that they have broken the union
and wiped out union conditions.
Fake Manifesto.
"They hoped, however, thru fake
manifesto to make their last desper-
ate effort to fool and mislead the
workers. This plan of the Interna-
tional cliques to cajole the expelled
members into their ranks is the best
demonstration that the cliques have
till now failed to get the adherence
Iof the workers and that they are
forced to devise new methods. Their
fake manifestos, however, will fail
them just as they have failed with
their reign of terrorism which they
employed in order to drive the work
ers into their company union
Together, with united ranks we
will go forward to the building of
better union, to union control, i'm
proved conditions, to more freedom
and better life.
