perfectly to a college graduate who
may be compelled to stand on a

him. Let there be a change; the
necessity of being able to swim is
vividly apparent to the drowning

Over seven thousand persons are
drowned in the United States each
year according to statistics recently

Swimming keeps the muscles sup

THREE LOCALS HIT
ILCWU $3.75 LEVY
Left Wing Organizes
For Real Struggle

NEW YORK.-The attempt of the
corrupt machine Of the international
Ladies Garments Workers Union, to
force a 1915 tax ON the members to
pay the huge debts they squandered
in their struggle against the workers,
was defeated by the workers OF Local
l, 9 and %, the three largest locals
representing the vast majority of the
membership. The workers openly
stated that they are opposed to pay
ing this tax because it will be used
against the. workers. ..
The efforts of Dubinsky to bulldoze
the workers into voting for the tax
met with failure. The rank and file
of the workers administered a power
full blow to the combined cliques of
the Loyestoneites, LeYys and Blus-
teins by exposing their fake maneu-
yer in bringing recommendation
against the payment Of the tax 50
that they may be able to parade as
opponents Of the International ma
chins.
This defea suffered by the machine
indicates the mood of the workers
and as a result of the activities OF
the left wing opposition, the cloak
makers, just like the furriers, are pre-
pairing for real struggle to re-estab-
lish union conditions in the shops.

GUST SOCIALIST;
HEAR COMMUNIST
Street Meeting Votes
and Yipsels Wall

NEW YORK.-In the socialist
New Leader" of Oct. 10, there ap-
peared a story which stated that
Communists attacked a socialist
meeting at Barrett Street and Pitkin
Ave. What really happened at this
meeting is this:
While a Communist meeting was
in progress, the socialists passed with
banners and unsuccessfully tried to
break the meeting. The socialists
opened a meeting a block away. Dur
ing this meeting a worker asked the
socialist candidate for alderman,
Friedman, about the European social
lists betrayals.
Friedman answered by calling the
worker a moron. This was resented
by those present and the socialist had
to get off the stand. The next
speaker asked how many wanted to
listen to the socialists and about half
a dozen of the $50 present raised their
hands, the rest were for hearing the
Communists. This defeat of the So
eialist takers was signal for their
Yipsels to attack some Pioneers who
were present. The workers there
came to the defense of the Pioneers.
The workers of Brownsville will
continue to expose these betrayers
who use red phrases in order to win
the sympathy of the workers.
Tomorrow B. D. Amis, Communist
candidate for assembly in the 23rd
district, will lead a discussion on
wage cuts and the role of the social
lists in keeping the workers from
struggle.
On Saturday the Communist Party
will hold an election torch light par
AIDE and rally beginning at Pennsyl-
yania and Suffer Avenues and end
ing at Saratoga and Pitkin Ave.

20 Paterson Cops
Aid in Eviction

PATERSON, N. j., Oct. Son
Thursday an eviction took place at
Is Lane st. S. Goldman, an unem-
ployed worker, who has been out of
work for months, was thrown out on
the street with his wife and three
children. This worker is not getting
any kind of relief from the city and
is starving, despite all the promises
and talk of the city bosses that no
unemployed worker will starve.
When group of workers from the
Unemployed Council arrived, some
of the furniture was in the street al
ready. Together with the workers in
the neighborhood we appealed to the
Negro workers who were employed to
carry the furniture out not to carry
the furniture. The Negro workers
upon finding out that this was an
eviction and not simply a moving
job, as the landlord told them, re-
fused to do the dirty work and joined
the white workers against the land
lords. After that the workers car
ried back the furniture into the
house, in spite of the landlord and
two cops.
Immediately the landlord called for
more police and within short time
over 20 police arrived. The workers
insisted on the right of the unem-
ployed worker to stay in the house,
whereupon the police started to
swing their clubs in their usual man
ner driving the workers away. Under
the protection of the police the land
lord carried the furniture out him
self, piling it on the city truck, which
arrived to take the furniture away.
Rather than let the furniture be
dumped in the city yard the Unem-
ployed Council got an empty flat on
the same block and removed the fur
niture there instead.

MILLINERS HIT
DUAL CO UNION
INTHEINDUSTRY
By RYAN WALKER

In the millinery trade the bosses
are not only cutting wages and re-
ducing the whole trade to sweat
shop level but have gone into the
business of organizing unions" with
which to prevent the workers from
putting up a struggle against these
miserable conditions.
Gathering around themselves Ma
lyniak and Lederfarb, chief ieuten-
ants of Mr.. zaritzky, president Of
the Cloth, Hat, Cap and Millinery
international, the company union in
the millinery trade in breaking
strikes and smashing the militant 10

Of bosses sent their representatives
to Albany, procured a charter and
opened up the sAmalgamated MILL
merry Workers of America" The
Tough Jack clique and the Barton
clique, strong arm men Of local A
together with the Malyniak-Leder-
farb group and Mr.. Seidmsn, ex-
official of the millinery manufac-
turers' association are the fathers Of
this new scab agency. Pretending to
be against the officialdom Of locals
IA and AZ, i.e., the zaritzkys, Spectors
and COLLINS, this organization is en-
deayoring to nisleade the biockers,
operators, cutters and trimmers who
have become disguised and enrased
against the officials for their con-
tinucus sell-outs and betrayals.
zaritzky, seeing his disciples open
ing up their own "rackets" through
which to extract initiation and dues
from the members and gain the sup
port of the manufacturers, has begun
to scream blue murder-because they
dare to join hands with Mr.. seid-
man, the representative Of the bosses.
But they learned how TO DO this from
zaritzky himself, who is even now
continuing to conspire with the boss
es to put over his collective agree
ment through which the bosses will
have their sweat shop conditions L.
galized in reward for the check-off
system, which they will grant the bu-
reaucrats.

JOBLESS DRESS
MAKERS MEETING
Serious ProblemsCome
Up Today at / P. M.

NEW YORK-After a miserable
season in which many of the work
ers have hardly had weeks work,
more unemployment has set in in
the dress industry. The company
Union, working hand in hand with
the bosses, has helped to increase the
speed-up system so that many of the
workers barely earn enough to get
along during the season and are faced
with actual starvation now during
the slack period.
The Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union has recognized the ser
iousness of the unemployment situa-
ton and is working out concrete
plans for organizing the unemployed
workers. The first meeting Of un-
employed dressmakers will be held
today at o'clock at Memorial Hall,
344 w. 36th ST., where these plans
will be presented for discussion and
action.
The Industrial Union Is arranging
meeting of Italian cloak and dress
makers for Wednesday, Oct. Il, at
Memorial Hall, 344 w. seth ST., where
the Italian organizer will speak. All
Italian cloak and dressmakers are
called upon to come to this meeting.
The Industrial Union is conducting
number of dress strikes for union
conditions. The union calls on ac-
tive workers to report to the office
of the union Monday, right after
work, where they will be sent out
to picket striking shops.
