BOSSES LIKE MIR.
DUBINSKY'S PLAN
Left Wing Group to
Meet Today

NEW YORK.-The leaders of the
International Ladies' Garmen t
Workers Union, who have given con-
siderable publicity during the past
weeks to their plans for a model
strike" to iron out misunderstood
ings," today declared that they were
ready to "straighten out" matters
through mediation.
The leaders of the international
stated that they are ready for media
ton and that they we're pleased to
know that the Tammany Lieut.. Gov
ernor Lehman had offered to act as
mediator.
The leaders of the Jobbers Asso-
citation declared that they have moth
ing against some sort of limitation
of contractors. This is one of the
demands being put forward by the
union In order to fool the workers
In other words, there is nothing left
for them to mediate any longer.
1t is clear, however, whether the
union calls a stoppage or mediates
everything is already settled between
the bosses and the Dubinsky clique
A stoppage, if it is called, will be in
order to collect extort taxes and dues
from the unsuspecting union men,
bers and strengthen the position of
the bosses association.
The cloakmakers will carry through
a mobilization for a real strike at a
meeting called Monday afternoon at
the Cooper Union Hall by the Central
Committee of the Left Wing Group
of the International. All clokamakers
are urged to attend this meeting to
discuss plans for a strike to bring
about piecework and the unioniza-
ton Of the trade.

the capitalist government, rather
than raise tax rates, proceeded dras-

measures was the arbitrary dropping

In many cities the capitalist gov

But not so in st. Louis. The Party
and the Unemployed Councils were
on the job. Prior to the relief reduc-

the holding of public hearings

Senators packed up their baggage
last night and prepared to leave the
capital for five months vacation.

the funds goes under the control of

Along with the passage Of the

EXPOSE DE PRIEST
Workers Fired on Slug
9-Year Old Pioneer

CHICAGO. Ill, July 17.-Firing
into the crowd and sayagely beating
men, women and children, the police
red squad yesterday broke up dem
onstration of eight thousand workers
in front of the office of Congressman
De Priest, republican representative OF
the Negro bourgeoisie, at 3439 So
State st.
The demonstration was held in pro-
test against the evictions of unem-
ployed Negro workers by De Priest,
who is one of the richest landlords
in Chicago, against his opposition to
the payment of the veterans bonus and
unemployment relief, his fight against
social equality for the Negro masses
and similar betrayals of the interests
of the Negro toilers.
When police pulled speakers off the
stand, other speakers took their place
at the elevated station and on roofs
Of houses. Comrades Davis and De-
cember and a section organizer of the
Young Communist League we're pulled
off a roof and arrested.
Workers fought back with sticks
and stones when police began their
vicious attack, with bullets and clubs.
1t is not known yet whether any one
was shot.
Smash Head of 9-Year- Old
The cops smashed the head of Mary
Carter, nine-year- old Pioneer of 434
Langley Street.
Eight thousand workers participated
in the demonstration and a thousand
in the march to Congressman De
Priests offices. More than one third
we're youths and two hundred were
children.
Herbert Newton, Negro Communist
candidate against De Priest, led the
demonstration, which was held under
the auspices of the Young Communist
League and the Young Pioneers.
Scores of workers have been ar
rested in the reign of terror which
followed the Red Squad attack on the
demonstration.

July, 1882, to July, 1888. OF this sum
$100,000,000 was robbed from the
wages of the poorer paid government
