Sabatelli was arrested by company
detectives for distributing the Daily

Kelleher, organizer of the United

watching it from a great distance
without trying to defend the ar

After being kept in the company
office for few hours, Jenny Saba

with distributing seditious litera-

$3.50, bringing the tosal up to $910.
The first installment amounted to
$3.50. This increase is distinctly en-

good deal of money is still being

section and district organizations.
If this money we're sent directly by
these contributors or collectors it
would reach the National Election

Washington Ign nores
Protest Wire of
Wednesday
Paper in New Danger
Appeals to Workers to
Meet Challenge

Officials of the New York City
post office yesterday persisted in
maintaining in force the order by
which many thousand copies of the
special election campaign edition of
The Daily Worker were Tuesday
night held up in the post office and
denied the second class mailing
privileges. No reply whatever has
been received from post office head
quarters at Washington to the wire
communication sent Wednesday de-
manding the rescind'ne. If the order
under which The Daily Worker was
admittedly being withheld from the
mails because it is the "orsan of a

The lc,.ser from the local post Of
flee signed by Postmaster J. j.
Kelly is manifestly an attempt to
camouflage the whole issue by IN
jecting a new question, that of she
price at which the special edition
was put out. The letter obviously
intended merely to stall for time re-
frains from all mention of the zeal
reason for the withholding of the
paper from the mails and which was
the subject of the letter written to
local post office officials Wednes-
day. That the new excuse is merely
a subterfuge is further evident from
the fact that the local post office
admits that it is waiting for advice
from Wash ngton in a matter which
it earlier claimed is only one of or
6inary routine.
The condition providing that the
price and other conditions under
which the special editions are put
out, be specified, have been met,
notwithstanding the statement of
Kiely In one part of Kiely's letter
this fact is practically admitted.
The complete brazenness of the
deception being practiced, the pres
ent attempt to camouflage the real
reason for the attack on the paper,
the arrogant bureaucratic tyranny
of the Washington officials in ignor-
ing the telegraphed demand of The
Daily Worker for immediate action
in situation which is threatening
the very life of the working class
paper, confirms the charge made
yesterday that the new order is an
attempt to strangle The Daily
Worker solely because it is a mill
tant working class paper.

The working class must respond
to this new attack with renewed ac-

have passed through many serious

Considerable excitement was
caused by the notices and groups of

WRECKED UNION

Big Conference Sunday
Sigman Uses Local II
Issue to Escape

Discouraged and beaten, his scab
company union on the verge Of
bankruptcy, Morris Sigman resigned
as president of the ruins of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union.
Sigman's resignation was rendered
Wednesday evening to the general
executive board of his "union,'
which is now in session at the Ho-
tel Continental. The resignation
was accepted yesterday afternoon.
Ends Career of Betrayal.
The resignation of Sigman prac-
tically writes finis to the career of
one of the foremost labor betrayers
in the country. Starting in 1923,
when he became president of the
l. L. G. w. u, Sigman carried on
systematic campaign against the
rank and file, eliminating in the
expulsion of the left wing New
York Joint Board in December, 1926.
1t was then that, with the CO.
operation of the Tammany police
and the underworld, he and his col
leagues launched the real drive
against all progressive workers, re-
1 sulting in the wrecking of the union
that had been built up after years
of struggle and suffering on the
part of thousands of workers.
Official Reason.
The Official reason for Sig
mans resignation is the decision of
special committee, headed by
Matthew Woll, appointed at the fake
Boston convention in May, to reissue
a charter to Local II, the so-called
reefermakers' local. Three years ago
/ Sigman revoked the charter of this
operators local and meanwhile
built up a stronghold for himself
in Local 2. The decision to reissue
charter to Local IL was conse-
quently a terrible blow for Sigman
of a strong base for the Schlesinger
clique and the destruction of what
little power the doting labor faker
still held in his own company. His
resignation came at the conclusion
of bitter attack on the Schlesing-
er-Breslaw clique in the Interna-
tional.
The Local II issue was not, how
ever, the fundamental reason for
Sigman's exit, it is reliably report
ed. 1t merely served as con-
venient peg on which to hang a res
ignation towards which the decrepit
union-wrecker had long looked eag-
erly. The truth is that Sigman's
campaign againstthe rank and file,
which has ended so dismally and
brought his boss-supported scab
union to virtual ruin, has left him
very sick man. And since his
amusement park at Storm Lake, Ia,
earns thousands of dollars yearly
for this businessman-labor leader"
he has for some time been only too
willing to part with his job as In
ternational president, especially in
view of the fact that it has lost all
its attractiveness since the bankrupt

DELAWARE PEACHES
SELL WELL in NEW YORK
As High As $3.50 A Basket Given
For Delaware Fruit

Delaware farmers who have pea
ches were greatly pleased during
the past week with the price for this
fruit. The Philadelphia market offer
ed $1.50 to $1.75 basket for choice
peaches, but New York was almost
a dollar in advance of this, prices
ranging from $500 to $3.50. Anyone
who had good fruit could get a good
price for it.
This is some difference from last
summer when it was possible to OBJ
tain peaches in lower Delaware at
anywheres from 25 cents a basket
up. Those who have peaches will
probably make much more this year
than last because many of them are
selling their fruit at roadside stands
and thus obtaining not only the
wholesale but the retailers profit.
Tomatoes were harmed by the
heavy rain of a few days ago. This,
followed by strong sunshine caused
many of the plants to turn out
scalded tomatoes. Gamers are be-
ginning to pack tomatoes but are
paying only an average of 25 cents
a basket. Some farmers may be able
to make little money this year on
tomatoes, but great many others
will be fortunate if they make
profit off the crop.
Indications for late apples are the
best in the history of Delaware, ac-
cOrding to DR.. J. F. Adams, plant
pathologist of the State Board of
Agriculture. DR.. Adams has visited
many orchards and where the own
er has treated his trees scientifical-
ly, the fruit is in abundance and in
splendid condition.
The cantaloupe crop is lasting
much longer than had been antici-
pated. 1t was believed that the crop
would be over a couple of weeks ago
but the melons are still going for
ward at a fair price.

MILFORD MAN TAKES
BRIDE In ALLENTOWN
Ruth E. CIaUsS Becomes Bride OF
AIphOnsO E. Humes At High Noon

A beautiful wedding took place in
St. Luke's Lutheran church, Allen
town, Pa, at high noon, when Ruth
E., daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver
N. Clauss, 1909 Linden street, be-
came the bride of Alphonzo E..
Humes, of Milford. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. J. c. Rausch,
former pastor, in the presence of
relatives and friends.
Prof. D. ]. Knauss, organist at st.
Luke's for many years, presided at
that instrument, playing the Bridal
Chorus from Lohengrin for the pro-
cessionaI and the Wedding March
from Midsummer Nights Dream for
the recessional. William Burger,
bass soloist of st. Luke's choir, sang
20 Promise Me" from DeKoven's

The bride, whose beauty is of the
statuesque blond type, was picture
of loveliness in an ivory taffeta robe
de style. The gown, very bouffant,
the sides and back trailing the floor,
boasted long fitted sleeves. The brid-
al veil was close fitting and adorned
with pearls. The bridal bouquet was
of white roses and lilies-of-the-val-
ley.
Miss Mary Clauss, the brides sis
ter, was a beautiful maid of>bonor,
in dress of rose orchid taffeta, also
on the robe de style line. She wore
a large hat of horsehair trimmed
with huge bow of rose orchid taf-
feta and carried bouquet of yellow
roses and delphinium.
The bridesmaids, Misses Althea
Steckel, Evelyn Steckel and Ruth
Wolfe, made an attractive appear
ance in their charming dresses-lace
robes over soft pink taffeta, in bout
fant style with low waistlines.
Each wore a large horsehair hat
trimmed with tulle and carried pink
roses and delphinium.
The tiny flower girl, Thelma
Clauss, niece of the bride, was
daintily dressed in a French made
pink crepe de chine. She carried a
leghorn hat filled with delphinium,
fever-few and rose petals. The last
named she scattered in the aisle as
she preceded the bride in the pro-
cessional.
