Cloak Agreement
Pay-Cut Plan
Masses of Workers Hit
Sell-Out

NEW YORK. - The international
Ladies Garment Workers Union to-
day issued a statement in which the
heads of the union summed up what
they call the benefits of their latest
wage-cut settlement.
Although the wage-cut which was
agreed upon by the Dubinsky clique
is reported to amount to 10 per cent
the rear cut will be is per cent and
even more for the majority of work.
ers in the trade. The cut agreed
upon by the International mislead-
ers is S. from the scale. Many of
the workers are on the sac scale.
Cloaknakers, according to the
agreement, will even be further cut
through the scientific schedule de-
signed to guarantee cheaper cost of
production for the manufacturers
What this point in the agreement
means in reality is the continuation
of the bootleg piece-work plan with
greater speed up.
The clause for the double lirnita-
ton of contractors, means each job
her will now be allowed to take his
work to twice the number of contrac-
tors as previously. This will cause
increased competition among the
contractors and cause them to bring
down the cost of production by in
creased speed-up and wage-cuts.
The reorganization clause is moth
ing more than hypocritical gesture
According to the old agreement the
bosses had the right to reorganige on
the first of July--that is. they were
permitted to fire 10 per cent of the
workers. The reorganization for this
year, however, is already complete
The new agreement epires in II
months. Therefore the agreement fol-
no further reorganization means
nothing to the workers.
Thousands of cloakmakers yester-
day afternoon at four open air meet
ings denounced and rcpudiated the
treacherous settlement concluded by
the officials of the International with
the aid of the Tamrnany Lieutenant
Governor Lehman. At pm. an in
door mass meeting was held at Bryant
Hall. Both halls we're damned to
capacity and hundreds of workers
stood on the stairs unable to get into
the halls.
These meetings we're carried thru
under the auspices of the Central
Committee of the left-wing groups o;
the I.L.GW.U. which for weeks hes
been mobilizing the cloakmakers for
real strike for union conditions.

Bronx County Jail,

July 20, 1882.
Dear Comrades:
Am feeling OK. Don't worry
about me, and don't let my arrest
stop the struggle to win the strike.
The boss has been trying for the
last three weeks to frame me, but
he will not succeed. never thought
he could be so vicious, but 1 see
otherwise. expected to get bumped
around and be in the hospital as
he promised me beating from the
gangsters because I was on the
picket line every day, but I never
thought 1 would be in jail charged
with a thing Ike that. It just
shows to what lengths the boss
will go to break the strike, so just
keep the spirits Of the workers high
and continue the strike. With best
wishes to all the strikers, as ever
your comrade.
SAM WEINSTEIN.

OFFICIALS RAM
P ACT THROUGH
TOFIRE HATTERS
HUT and Wasserman
To Be Allowed 10
Dismissals
tBy a Worker Correspondent,

NEW YORK, July 24.-At the reg
ular monthly meeting last Wednes-
day, of Local 8, United Hatters of
North Amerca, the officials who three
weeks ago helped the bosses to put
over a wage cut estimated to be as
high as 40 per cent, came with new
proposition to the local membership.
This proposition was in regard to
the HUT & Wasssrman concern. This
shop was not settled together with
the others. MFR. HUT had put the
workers on week work basis at $40,
with the proviso tina he be permitted
to fire ten workers, to which, Of
course, the officials, without con-
sulting the Bill of Price Committee, ;"
eagerly assented.
The question of firing of the 10
men raised the most serious objec-
tions from the floor. Some of the
victims of this reorganization scheme
have been dues paying members Of
the union for over 80 years. 1t was
the opinion of the workers to intro
duce the bulletin system to distribute
equally the work in the shop.
Workers pointed out that the
Manson and Washington factories are
preparing to reduce their shop crews
and will claim to have the privileges
as have the HUT and Wosserman con-
Germ. It was only through the man
euvers of the officials to have the
entire force of the H. g. w. shop
come down to the meeting while the
other shops, not knowing the i'm
portanoe of the question, were not
fully represented that the officials
managed to have this matter passed.
Humphries and Afoic made a ges-
ture to the membership by volun-
tarily reducing their salary from $50
to $50. The local membership, how
ever feels that one paid Official would
suffice for the local.

JAIL WORKERS IN
GERMAN CENTERS
Dictatorship Edict Is
O. K, Court Says

BERLIN, July Embarrassing Its
terror against the Red United Front
against fascism, the Won Papen po-
lice yesterday raided a meeting and
jailed "a Communists and Reichs-
banner members in Brunswick. Ar
rests also took place In the Essen
the Ruhr heavy-industry center.
The active suppression of news re-
garding anti-fascist activities failed
to hide the fact that clashes took
place in ''0rious parts of the coun-
try, with many injured as a result.
The Won Papen press had rrevi-
ously been heralding the peaceful
weekend as justification for the die
tatorship edict over Prussia and the
clamping down of martial law over
Berlin and Brandenburg.
Following the elaborate ritual be-
fore the Supreme Court at Leipzig.
that august body solemnly sanctioned
the dictatorship decree over Prussia,
and now the social-democrats having
utilized this pretext to stem militant
action on the part of the workers,
are turning their attentions to mag
nifying the elections whoch are
scheduled to be held on Sunday.
The democratic" character of the
election is indicated by the fact that
all political parties, including the
Nasi and social-democratic organiza-
tons, have been given the use of the
government radio for one hour each
day--but not the Communist Party!
In government circles there is open
talk of the suppression Of the Party
and the Red Trade Unions imme-
diately following the election.
