Cardinals automobile dealers don't
like the prospect of having their me-
chanics organized by the International
Association of Machinists and are
doing their best to block the organi-
zation move. AS part of their cam
paign, they tried to form fake union
in Durham, known as the Brother
hood of Automobile Mechanics, with
headquarters in Richmond, Va The
plan to organize the fake union was
exposed by Alfred Hoffman, southern
representative of the American Fed

Workers, who is a leading figure in
the southern movement for unionism.
A vicious fight is being made to
prevent organization of auto mechan-
les by local dealers in various cities.
This fight has cost them much in re-
pair work and even in automobile
sales. The fight is not an open one,
but the demotion of isolated shop

Big New York Cloak Strike
Ends With Gains For Union;
Sweatshops Get Hard BLou

New York City (ILNS) S)-The big
strike of cloak makers belonging to
the international Ladies' Garment
Workers Union is virtually over, with
substantial gains registered by the
union. The union and the three asso-
Citations of employers have ratified a
new wage agreement, ending the
strike in the shops of the organized
employers. About 10000 workers are
back in the shops, leaving 5000 en-
ployed by independent shops still on
strike.
The agreement between the union
and the Industrial Council of Cloak.
Suit and Skirt Manufacturers, which
is the basic agreement that ended the
strike, was signed in the governors
room at the city hall in the presence
of Mayor Walker, Lieut.. Gov H. H.
Lehman and leading figures in the
cloak and suit industry.
The return to the shops was cele-
brated by the workers with bands
and parades with banners. u
One of the chief objects of the
strike was to eliminate the sweat
shops and union leaders are much
pleased with the progress in this di-
rection. The jobbers pledged them
selves to lead in the fight on the
sweatshops and to do everything ir
their power to do away with sub

foremen, demotion of competent
craftsmen, and underground agitation
against unionsim is the method.
This method of discouraging or
ganization has resulted in show of
amazing initiative in some places In
Durham for instance members of the
union, anticipating trouble, have
opened an airport with three planes.
A cooperative garage is also being
promised, to be owned by the union
and to have three eight-hour shifts,
to do general repair work, with spe-
cialized service on larger type cars.
This project has the support of four
Durham hotels, and approximately 95
gasoline filling stations in the vicin-
ity of the city.
To discourage the start of the COM
pany union idea among the grease
hounds" very successful drive by
George w. Marshall, of the Machin-
lists, is bringing many of these work
ers into the union each month.

stated that the recent development of

William Kelly, organizer of the
United Textile Workers, who followed
Mr.. McGrady, stated that the settle

the concern and the union checked off
those shops operating on a sub-stand-
ard basis.

ANY manufacturer, any chain store
or any mail order house which feels
that it can stay in business only by
producing garments under a cursed
degraded system of production in
which the lives of our workers are
endangered and the public welfare
jeopardized, has no right to exist in
