The organization drive launched by
the bathrobe workers resulted in 70
shop strikes, involving about 200

FIGHT FOR LOOT
BREAKS OUT in
ACW CO. UNION
Orlofsky and Hillman
Fight For Spoils
Of Racketeering

NEW YORK-Having completed
their united front in binding the
mems clothing workers to a wage cut,
speed-up agreement, the internicine
fight in the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers bureaucracy broke out again
with the Hillman clique moving
against the Orlofsky Beckerman
clique in the cutters local.
Joseph Schlosberg, general secre-
tary o6 the A. G. w. in a communi-
cation to Philip Orlofsky, manager
of Local 4, cutters, demanded that
the books, vouchers, receipts and
other papers of the local be turned
over to the General Board and that
Orlofsky was charged with misap-
propriating and nisapplying funds.
Orlofsky in Def.
The Orlofsky group, preparing to
fight the Hillman clique, issued a
def, saying that an examination of
Local 4 books could be made only
in the offices of the local and that
Orlofsky would not appear before the
General Board.
Specifically a struggle for the
immediate dues, graft and loot of
the company union, the basic issue
Is that Of struggle between the
two cliques for control of the
union" treasury and the posi-
bilities of racketeering that go with
it. During the recent stoppage
when manifestations of the left
wing arose for general genuine
strike, the OrIofsky -Hillman forces
were united in keeping the COM
pany union intact and putting over
the sham stoppage and the two
year slave pact.
Definite indications are that the
small independent bosses support the
Orlofsky group and the big employ
ers in the Exchange support Hillman
in the internal clique fight.
Wages Cut Rage.
While the two racketeering cliques
in control of the company union con-
tinue to struggle for the spoils of
office wage cuts and new speed-up
continue unabated in many of the
union" shops. Workers in the Eagle
Clothing Co, were cut 66 cents on
a garment without even the formal
ity Of a shop meeting. A victory
celebration was held in this very
same shop Immediately after the
sham stoppage.

NEW YORK. - The Schlesinger
clique of the International Ladies
Garment Workers has suddenly an
nounced a special meeting of its
General Executive Board to consider
the financial situation. From infor-
nation, We gather this board meet
ing is to rubber stamp the decisions
reached at a secret meeting of the

workers in order to pay the debt due
to the International Bank. In order
TO cover up this attempt to extort
money from the workers, the clique
will undoubtedly come out with a
campaign call for a fake stoppage
when the agreement expires.
The cloakmakers in the market to-
day were indignant over this new
racketeer scheme of the Schlesinger
union. An open forum meeting of
cloakmakers has been arranged for
this afternoon at Memorial Hall, 344

A truck-tractor and a semi trailer

for the purpose of automobile regis
tration, Harold D. Shaft, assistant at
torney general, ruled In an opinion
furnished to the motor vehicle regis
trar.
No special definition of a semi
trailer is given and no license fee is
provided for semi-trailerS or for truck
tractors as separate units in the law
defining various types Of motor ve-
hicles for the purpose of registration,
Shaft said.
Licenses are payable upon three
classes Of vehicles" the opinion stat
ed. passenger vehicles, motor trucks
:, and trailers. The term trailer is
specifically defined in the act and
the definition is such as to exclude
semi-trailers from it's terms.
From these provisions 1t Is my
.opinion that truck tractor and semi
trailer combination should be licensed:
as one vehicle rather than as two
units"
Four other opinions were given by
Shaft in reply to other queries from,
the motor vehicle registrar regarding
the law relating to dealers licenses.

Licenses on used cars held by IL

All dealers in motor vehicles, In
cluding new and used cars, must pay

amended so that the one dealers IL
cense now In existence Is that pro-
viding for the $25 fee in subsection
G of section Is. chapter 1873, laws OF

One set of dealers plates should

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, Sept. 5.-T1-The finan-
cial markets began three-day vaca-
ton Saturday after week OF declin-
ing prices traceable to industry's
apathy on the eve Of what should
normally be season of Improvement.
Stocks made something of q fuss
over unfavorable news, beng particu-
larly disturbed by the omission of the
Lehigh Valley and J. I. Case company
dividends, a few bond interest de-
faults, the Florida East Coast and
Tri-Utilities Corporation receiverships
and the slump on the Berlin Boerse.
None of the happenings was q COM
plete surprise: but taken In conjunc-
ton with the discouraging steel re-
ports the disappointingly small gain
in freight car loadings and unim-
proved electric power output. they
aroused bearish sentiment and caused
bulls to postpone plans for a further
rally.
The markets technical position was
improved by an increase in the short
