the youth section the union will
have a powerful means of approach

There are thousands of youth
workers in the needle trades today,
and the number is growing. This
is the result of the elimination of
skill in many sections of the indus
Try. There are tens of thousands
of young workers in the open-shops
out-of-town and thousands right
here in New York. This is not only
true of the white goods industry
(house dresses, collars, shirts, ETC. J,
but also in the dress trade, particu-
larly in the last two years, when
union conditions and standards in
the shops were wiped out. This fact
is realized by all of the workers

hIL.L.MAN PLANS
new TREACHERY
WITH BOSS AID
To Start "Check-of
System to Tighten
Grip on Workers
Bureaucrats Quarrel
Employer Allowed to
Make Scab Garments

The Hillman machine of corrup-
ton and treachery in the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers is prepar-
ing to blaze new trails of betrayal.
Not content with foisting piece work
on the workers, subjecting them to
the most inhuman sweatshop condi-
tions and carrying on ruthless
terror campaign against all progress
sives, the Hillman bureaucracy is
now preparing to institute the
"check-off." This is a plan by
which the bosses very kindly deduct
the union dues from the wages of
the workers and turn them over to
the union officials.
"The check-off" has been the in
famous device used by the corrupt
officials Of the United Mine Work
ers to keep their pockets well lined
while the workers were starving.
By making the bosses their dues col
lectors-which the bosses are only
too willing to do in view of the
many favors received-Hillman and
his flunkeys aim to tighten their
grip on the mems garment workers
and to fatten their already over
flowing treasury still more.
The meeting of the Joint Board
of the Amalgamated, at which this
plan was to have been proposed, has
been postponed because Of the
sluabbles among the little czars of
the Hillman machine. These squab-
bles have been intensified since the
resignation of Hillman's chief ter
rorist. Abraham Beckerman, as
manager of the New York Joint
Board.
Meanwhile it has become known
that Charles Jaffe, president Of the
bosses association, has been granted
the infamous secret supplementary
agreement with the right of hiring
and firing as suits him best. And,
as an additional favor, he will be
allowed to send out his vests to be
made up in scab shops for a period
of six months.

Statement ON Dress Strike

The dressmakers' strike, which
was called Wednesday by the new
National Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union is of tremendous
inheritance to the entire working
class. 1t marks new stage in the
struggle Of the workers in New
York City and in the country gen
orally. The strike, called to abolish
the sweatshop system, for the estab-
lishment of the Industrial Union and
its recognition by the bosses, for the
organization of the unorganized, for
the 40-hour week and against the
speed-up conditions, has been an
swered with g mighty wave Of en-
thusiasm by the workers and young
workers in the dress trade.
The dressmakers' strike is the
first 70 be led by the new militant
union. The strike will DE bitterly
fought with all their strength and
power by the bosses, the yellow So
cialist company union, the police, the
courts and the whole government.
On one side stand the class-con-
scious, militant, left-wing workers;
on the other, the one solid front of
the capitalist class and it's agencies.
The union is faced with great diff
culties; but those difficulties can
easily be overcome by united and
decisive rallying of all the workers
in the needle trades. In that sense,
the question of mobilizing and or
ganizing the young needle trades
workers is of most outstanding i'm
portance and is one of the most i'm
mediate tasks of the union in this

$4,000, according to estimates
of officials of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union
which is leading the strike.
Picketing was marked by a mill
fancy and fervor such as have not
been seen in New York City since
the great cloakmakers' strike of
1926. Workers who have watched
during the last two years all the
gains won in two decades of hard
struggle destroyed by the corrupt
officialdom of the International
company union came on the picket
lines with new enthusiasm and a
determination to continue picketing
their shops until all their demands
are won.
From 60 to 70 additional shops
came out yesterday extending the
paralysis of the dress market at the
peak of the season.
Some of the shops that came out
have been open-shops for the past
25 years. Many other shops have
struck whose workers have been
nominally registered with the scab
International. The workers in these
shops, who were forced into regis
tering with the company union, are
now determined to win real union
conditions for themselves.
The police, who already showed
their true colors on the first day of
the strike, were busy yesterday.
Many workers were beaten and
abused and 65 were arrested at the
mass picketing in the morning and
IA at the general picketing in the
afternoon. Of those arrested in the
morning, 63 were dismissed when
they appeared before Magistrate
Adolph Stern in Jefferson Market
Court, one, Bertha Lerner, was
fined 81, and one, Louis Nelson,
chose to serve day in Jail instead
of paying $5 fine. Nelson had
also been beaten up. The charge
against all the workers was dis
orderly conduct.
The Ia arrested in the afternoon
were released on bail for hearing
this morning.
! Bosses. Scab Officials Dazed.
Employers everywhere expressed
astonishment and CONSERVATION at
the success of the strike. Many of
them called up the new industrial
union or rushed over personally,
pleading for immediate settlement.
A total of about $50 have so far
asked for settlement. But the union
is following no compromise pol
icy. All the demands of the work.
