BOSTON MEETING
FIRST STEP FOR
BUILDING union
More Than 81 Delegates
Begin Huge Task

BOSTON, Mass, May 10.-With
the formation of all the essential per
manent committees completed, the
historical National Conference of the
delegates locked out of the reaction
ary-controlled convention of the In
ternationaI Ladies Garment Work
ers' Union, completed their first days
session and prepared to put into mo-
ton the machinery for rebuilding the
union at mass meeting scheduled
for last night at the Franklin Union
Hall, al Barclay st.
The National Conference is the
most important single step yet taken
for the reestablishment of union
in the cloak and dress industry, and
for the regaining of union conditions
in the ladies' garment factories, which
were destroyed by the destructive ex-
pulsion campaign carried on by the
Sigman union-wrecking administra-
ton of the international union.
Conference Opens.
The conference, opened by Louis
Hyman, leader of the Joint Board
delegation in the Hotel Brewster late
Wednesday afternoon, was partici-
pated in by delegates from New York,
Chicago, and locals of the Interna-
tional from other parts of the coun-
try. After the election of Harry Ber-
lin as temporary chairman of the con-
ference an organizational and Gre
dentials committee was elected. Their
report showed that 81 delegates were
participating in the National Confer
ence.
Later the two leaders of the i'm
partial committee of so cloak shop
chairmen, Saul Shelly, and Steinhardt,
officially declared their organizations
affiliation to the conference. In his
speech to the conference Shelly de-
clared that the shop chairmen's or
ganization had come to the conclusion
that no other course for the reestab-
lishment of union conditions is left
for them but to join the National
Conference of delegates locked out Of
the convention by the Sigman police
for the rebuilding of the union.

&c FARE IS NOW
LEGAL" IN CITY
Judges Sign Order to
Increase Charge

The Interborough yesterday re-
ceived legal sanction for its seven
cent fare when circuit court of ap-
peals Judge Martin T. Manton, and
district court Judges Knox and
Bondy composing the statutory fed
eral court signed a formal order put
ting the recent decision of this court
into effect.
1t was stated that the Interborough,
because of the impending hearing on
the order before the U. S. supreme
court next week, will not attempt to
put the increased fare into effect be-
fore the 18th, the date set for the
argument.
Outlook Dubious.
1t is generally conceded that the
likelihood of preventing the introduc-
ton of the seven cent fare legally"
has become exceedingly dubious. But
while everyone, particularly officials
Of the city, processes to be completely
pessimistic over the outlook of saw
ing the fast fading five cent fare
it is not beyond the realms of Tam
many possibility that an eleventh
hour "way out" will be found as a
result of which the already muchly
becmirched Tiger may be enabled fol
the period preceding election to cover
up his soiled fingers.
1t is not at all unlikely that Tam
many will make some further agree
ment with the traction companies
which will enable Al Smith, their chief
servant, to go before the people clean

John F. Hylan yesterday propounded

Fourth Week of Strike.

Especial To The DAILY WORKER).
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May 1O.-
AS the fourth week of the big strike
of 10000 textile workers here draws
to a close, increasing signs of the de-
termination of the mill owners to
break the solidity of the strikers
ranks are becoming daily more evil
dent. 1t is generally conceded, how
ever, that the 100 per cent walkout
will continue to keep silent the TO-
900 looms until the wage cut
of 10 per cent is restored.
That the Textile Mill Committees
which have rapidly been building {.
permanent tho new, form of organiza-
tion for the 10000 striking opera
tives, are now acquiring the outstand-
ing leadership Of the great struggle
is frankly recognized by the mill own
ers. These are the real bulwark
against which their repressive meas
ures are to be levelled.
Same Old Tale.
Along with the bosses weekly an
nouncement that the mills will not
attempt to open Monday, an announce
ment regularly violated, comes an an
nouncement from Samuel D. Mcleod
deputy chief of police, that orders
have been issued to all commanding
officers to "act" against "any unusual
gathering of persons who annoy
those going to work."
This is the elimination of a series
of drastic measures, to curtail the
activity of the Mill Committees which
have led daily picket demonstrations
in front of mills attempting to re-
open. In addition to preventing scab-
bing, the mill committees have alsc
been active in sending large com
mittee of women strikers to the home!

Many houses in the working class Sec

been completely destroyed.
After blasting two breaches in the
wall of the native city, Japanese
roops entered it. Violent hand-to-

.achment of Feng Yu-hsiang's army
flashed with the Japanese. Terror
reigned when Feng's troops, pursued
by the Japanese, fled thru the streets

in the majority, shows the need for
organization of all workers against
the speed-up system, the long hours
