famous dressmaking establishment of
Worth from its beginning in 1926 until
1925, when the son of the original
Worth died. Charles Frederick Worth,
the founder, was born in Lincolnshire,

Cause of All Labor.
A preliminary meeting to this of
today was held Sunday in the Sea-
mems Club, % South St. The au-
dience of marine workers followed
intently the story of the frame-up
of textile workers in Gastonia as
told by Clarence Miller, Karl Reeve,
and the strikers and defendants
Thompson, Passmore, Lloyd, Brewer
and the two Tetherows. Applause
greeted the strikers determination
to stick to the union and the strike
even if they were killed for it.
Many seamen spoke from the
floor, declaring that the marine
workers would stand by the Gas
tonia strikers to the limit, and con
sidered their fight the cause o.
labor as a whole.
All workers, particularly marin,
workers, are invited to the meeting

did the boss shut off the
power?" This was the question
asked of workers throughout the
garment center yesterday. Despite
the barrage of propaganda in the
yellow, strikebreaking Jewish Daily
Forward, the trade papers of the
bosses and the capitalist press gen
orally, the workers seemed curl
ously unresponsive to the fake
militant" slogans put forth by the
company union.
Workers told how chiefs of the
company union led capitalist press
reporters to Stuyvesant Casino late
yesterday afternoon in the hope of
impressing them with the "re-
Spouse" to the stoppage. When
these luminaries arrived there, how
ever, the I. L. G. w. "boys" sud
denly disappeared.
In practically all of the halls of
the right wing the atmosphere was
depressing and listless, most of the
workers being obviously wise" to
the cheap maneuver of the Schlesin-
ger-Dubinsky gang, in cooperation
with the bosses.
Guerilla Meets Waterloo.
Hired guerillas repeatedly tried to
prevent the workers from handing
out these leaflets. Clashes were
frequent in the market, the most
violent one occurring when company
union gangsters, led by Sam Mil
vasky, notorious thug, tried to
prevent girl worker from distrib-
uting the Industrial Union call to
the cloakmakers. A group of cloak
makers rushed to her defense. Mil
vasky drew a knife, but a worker
grabbed his arm before he could
strike. When the smoke of the bat
tie had cleared, Milvasky was not
in such an obstreperous condition
on the contrary he found himself
very close to the ground, probably
for the first time in his long career
of attacking militant workers.
A "strong ARM" who gave his
name as Jack Friedman" was ar
rested in the market after he had
attacked Harry Bradin, member
Of Local 2. When this lieutenant
of Schlesinger's was brought to the
police station it was discovered that
his real name was Sam Megrin and
that he had been arrested five times
on charges of pickpocket activities

URGE REJECTION
OF SHIPLACOFF
SELL OUT PACT
Strike Urged to Win
Workers Demands

The final sell-out of the pocket
book workers, who had been locked
out for seven weeks, has been ac-
complished with the signing by A. /.
Shiplacoff, manager of the union, of
the old agreement with the bosses,
it was learned yesterday.
With this goes all the old condi
tions, a wage increase of 5 per cent
for an insignificant number of week
workers and a provision for a COM
mittee to investigate" the piece
work question.
A meeting to ratify this "new"
old agreement will be held this aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock at Cooper Union.
Denounce SeIl-Out.
A sharp denunciation of the sell
out by the chief of the administra-
ton in the union with its abandon
ment of all the demands repeatedly
put forth by the workers was con-
tanned in a statement issued to the
membership last night by the Pro-
gressive Group in the union. The
statement urges the membership to
reject the sell-out and vote for an
immediate general strike to win the
demands of the workers. It fol-
lows:
Betrayal of Workers.
"The settlement, which the adj
ministration brings to US today for
ratification, is clear betrayal of
our interests. The administration
, has given up all our demands shat
we put forth to the employers and
brings to us the old agreement with
some definite concession to the
employers. The old agreement, ow-
ing to the condition of our trade,
the speed-up system, new machinery
and other technical equipments,
which the manufacturers have in
troduced in our industry, can no
longer protect our living standards,
Reject SelI-Out.
"The prediction made by the Pro-
gressive Group about the outcome
Of the traitorous conduct of Shipla-
coff and his administration during
negotiations with the employers for
new agreement is now an absolute
fact.
"The 40-hour week and other de-
n1ands we put forward to the en-
ployers is of vital necessity to US,
and we must get them in order to
protect our working conditions.
Vote For Strike.
"Our slogans must be: A general
strike to win the 40-hour week. and
the rest of the demands! A gen.
eral strike led by shop representa-
tives.
eve all know that the admins
tration betrayed us! We must show
the bosses and the clique that we
4 have faith in our own strength and
that we are ready to defend our in
terests under all circumstances"

Spike Lies of
Odessa Fete to
Fascist, Balbo

(The Daily Worker has received
the following cablegram from Inter
national Press Correspondence,
which from official Soviet circles
has received denial of the stories
that appeared in the American cap
italist press that Italo Balbo, Mus
solini's nder-secretary for anyways
and one of the bloodiest of the fas-
cists, had been feted in grand style
on a recent official visit to Odessa,
U. S. S. r.
by Wireless to the Daily Worker
BERLIN, July 2.--The exag-
gerations and lies of the Ameri-
can press regarding the visit of
Balbo to Odessa are without foun-
dation. Balbo was given simple
reception, conforming to interna-
tionaI diplomatic usages. The
masses were demonstratively abb
sent and there were even some
Recommendations against
him.
The stories about special the
atre performance in his honor and
a banquet for him by the G. P. U.

months ago, although it had been
unoffficially stated that such a
clause would appear in the speech.
This omission is understood here as
being likewise due to the sharpen
ing ,antagonisms between the Brit
ish and American imperialisms.
No Recognition Promise.
There is no definite promise to
recognize the Soviet Union, the
speech merely stating that the cab
met sis examining conditions under
which diplomatic relations may be
resumed"
The government does not promise
to withdraw troops from the Rhine.
1t states only that "a settlement Of
this problem (reparations) will en-
able occupying powers to proceed
with evacuation of the Rhineland."
The Preparations report of the
Dawes plan board of experts is Eat
present being considered by the gov
eminent in preparation for con-
ference of representatives of the
governments concerned" but no pro-
gram, date or place of conference is
suggested.
No real program to lessen unem-
ployment is given, merely hope
expressed that the new building
programs, the revival of trade
which is expected but for which no
evidence is given, and the old Bald
win plan, now adopted by Thomas,
will alleviate the distress.
Thomas was placed in the cabinet
with the announcement that his
main business would be the solving
of the unemployment problem. He
did nothing but to propose a visit
to Canada to encourage the coolie
system of sending British workers
on contract to practical slavery for
a definite period on the wheat farms
and mines of western Canada. Those
sent out during the Baldwin regime
were enslaved, forbidden to leave
their low-paid jobs, then when the
winter depression set in callously
discharged and left to starve in
throngs in the small towns and cit
les of Alberta, Saskatchewan and
British Columbia. The Macdonald
cabinet proposes to continue this
heartlsss procedure and offers no
other plan.
The British employers press con-
graduates the labor party on aban-
doning all social;stic principles in
the program they lay down in the
Kings Speech"
Ex-Premier Baldwin spoke from
the floor in answer to the speech,
correctly pointing out that it Of
fered nothing in the way of solving
the great problem facing England
and that Macdonald should visit
England.
Macdonald answered, saying in
substance that these problems all
required serious study" and add
ing a "wonder as to how far it will
be possible without in any way
abandonink our party positions on
surrendering items of party prin-
ciple TO consider ourselves more as
a council of state and less as ar
rayed regiments facing each other

BERLIN, June 15.-Those women

Of women in industry got in the first
blow today against the rival interna-
tional meeting by laying the foundations
for creation of a new international
woman's organization. The sole pur-
pose of the proposed new organization
will be to oppose such protective legis-

Those favoring protection pursued o
policy of watchful waiting. While the
several hundred delegates assembled for

worked quietly on resolutions in closed
committee meetings. a smaller but en-
ergetic group of about so delegates

The board, however, gave the school
authorities permission to confer with
the Commissioners and advise them as
