Labor, and was under the general
supervision of Tammany's banker
lieutenant governor, Col. Herbert
Lehman.
BY tonight, when final confer
ence will be held, it is expected that
everything will be fixed and the
workers will be sent back to their
shops Tuesday. Thus, the widely
heralded fake stoppage, which was
to have inaugurated "a new era"
for the bitterly exploited cloakmak-
It's, will have lasted exactly two
Ieeks, the shortest "strike" in the
kstory of the garment industry.
But in that time it will have served
its purpose, repeatedly emphasized
in the Daily Worker: it will have
strengthened the employers asso-
citation by declaring open war on the
competition of independent manu-
facturers; it will have Melted the
socialist" officials of the scab In
ternational many thousands of dol
lars in strike assessments and dues
(exhorted from the workers mainly
by force), as well as contributions
muleted from the members of other
unions where the corrupt right wing
gang is in control, and it will have
established a Joint board of con-
troll" (the control will be by Tam
many and the bosses) for the more
complete enslavement of the cloak
makers

In other words, everything that
the Daily Worker declared in the
past about this fraud has been
proved true. In Mondays issue the
Daily gave the details of the fake
stoppage conspiracy between the
company union chiefs, the employ
ers and Tammany politicians. The
announcement of the agreement be-
tween the l. L. G. w. and the In
ustrial Council shows that the pre-
lotions of the Daily Worker, which
Fere based on authoritative infor-
nation, have been proved true al
most 100 per cent.
All the capitalist press frankly
declares that the basis for the new
agreement is not improved condi-
tions for the workers, but the elm.
nation of the independent manufact
turers and the strengthening of TIKI
three bosses associations! In fact
this was the keynote of the speech
of the president of the A. F. of L.
William Green, who declared thai
independents who want settlements
will first have to join one of the
three associations.
