Schlesinger groups, rejected our de-
mands to end the war. Our hope that
the convention would bring about a
change in the situation did not ma
terialize. The so-called manifesto is
sued by the convention does not solve
the present problems of our union
and does not offer a basis for the
restoration of peace and unity in our
in the nature of an edict issued by
autocrats who maintain themselves in
power regardless of the wishes and
desires of the membership. 1t does
not do away with the policy of dis
elimination which has brought about
the present deplorable situation in
our union. 1t is by no means de-
cision of leaders who take into ac-
count the will of the membership and
therefore this manifesto cannot make
an end to the chaos and demoraliza-
ton in our union.
1.-THE delegates of the expelled To-
Gals and Joint Boards of New York
and Chicago, as well as the delegates
elected by the Tolerance Group and
other groups of our union, came to
the convention with the demand for
unity-a demand which was backed
by the thousands of workers Of our
trade throughout the entire country.
The convention turned down this do
mand for unity and decided to con-
tinue the policy which has ruined and
|demoralized our entire organization.
Unity Is Aim.
"In view of this action of the con-
vention, we of the Tolerance Group,
who have been working with all our
might during the past few months
for basis of peace that will unite
all the elements in our union, have
reached the conclusion that we can
expect nothing further from the pres
ent administration of the Interna-
tional, and can therefore see only one
way of working toward the attain
ment of our aim for a united union;
that is, to join with those elements
who are in agreement with our pro-
gram and have made a sincere effort
to bring it into being. At a we'll at
tended meeting of our group, held on
Saturday, May 10Th, at Stuyvesant
Casino, we gave thorough consideta-
tion to the problems of our union and
unanimously decided to affiliate with
the National Organization Committee
for the reestablishment of our union,
which is the only body today that is
sincerely striving to unite all the ele-
ments for the purpose of rebuilding
our shattered organization.
Call For Action.
eve call on all workers who want
to unite for the purpose of rebuild
| ing our union and restoring union con-
ditions in the shops, we call on all
workers who have been forced into
the open shops and are working under
the most miserable conditions as re-
suit of the internal struggle, to rally
together with us around the National
Organization Committee so that with
united forces we may once more re-
build our union to serve as an instru-
ment in defense of the workers in
terests.
Brothers and sisters! Cloak and
dressmakers! Let there be an end
to the destruction! The time has
come when we, the workers, must
take our destiny into our own hands.
The time has come when we must
build our weakened union.
Together, cloak and dressmakers,
let us rally around the National Or
ganization Committee and build our
union so that it may be the pride of
the labor movement"
