ILGWULeaders' Deeds
Opens Way for
Sweat Shops
BY J. ABRAMS.

Three months ago the dressmakers
came out on strike at the call Of the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers Union and the Needle Trades
Union. The response Of the dress
makers to the strike was the biggest
in history Of any dress strike in New
York City.
At the conferences with the bosses,
our leaders" HOFFMAN Dubinsky
and Zimmerman saw to 1t that only
they should represent the strikers, not
consulting the workers beforehand on
what our demands to the bosses
should be. The chief demand that
we, the dressmakers fought for, were
as follows: minimum wage scale,
35-hour week and limitation Of con-
tractors. In the main the I. L. G.
leaders demanded that their union be
recognized as the only union in the
dress industry, even though there
were thousands Of workers striking
under the leadership Of the Industrial
Union. The conferences were held in
recret. No information was given to
the strikers In the halls on the pro-
ceedings. Only because Of the Left
Wing workers who were militant on
he picket lines and in the halls we're
he bosses compelled to give in to
some OF the st ikers' demands.

Only Opposition Group
Can Lead Fight for
Conditions

T the jobber finds that workers In
a given shop are fighting against wage
cuts and for union conditions he will
not send work to the shop.
The code as a whole exposed the
conspiracy of Dubins.zy, HICKMAN
and the so-called progressive zim-
norman with the bosses. They braz-
only told US to be patient and all
would be well. They did not mobilize
the dressmakers to strike for our
demands.
Only Fighting Force.
Against these betrayers there Is
7nly one force which viii fight for
our union conditions, code or no code,
and that is the Left Wing opposition
# the IL.G.W.
The Left Wing proposes that job
b2rs' committees be set up immedi-
ately, that shop meetings be held at
least twice a month in each shop to
enforce our conditions, that an I'M
employed council be set up for the
jobless dressmakers at once to force
the city to provide relief and that the
union set aside funds for weekly pay
ment to the unemployed. The Left
Wing is also fighting for exemption
Of the unemployed from dues pay
ments and for the endorsement of
The Unemployment Insurance Bill of
he A. r. Of L. Committee for Unem-
rloyment Insurance.

Are Conditions in the Dress Trade After the Strike?

'lalf times the normal wage for such
vertime work" No season in the
lress industry lasts as long as six
weeks; secondly, if there are four
seasons during the year, then it
~1eans "a weeks overtir7e. In the
main, the majority of the industry
forks piece work, SO the workers will
not get paid time and half for over
lime. Thus we see how our leaders
have given Up the 35-hour week.
What about limitation? The code
reads, Manufacturers and jobbers,
who cause their garments to be made
by contractors, shall Immediately
designate the number Of contractors
to meet their business requirements.
Within one week at the effective date
of this code the manufacturer and
iobber she'll register any and all sub
sequent chances This does
not abridge the right of manufac-
turers or jobbers to add to, subtract
rom or chanye their contractors, pro-
vided that these are not made for
the purpose Of evading the established
ware scale" If the dema,d of the
workers for limitation had been met,
wage scales could be more easily
and competition between
contractors would be reduced, thus
reducing the danger of continued
sweatshops.
Severe Competition.
Dubinsky himself admitted that
there is no limitation in the dress in
dustry. 1t means competition will go
on as ever. THE contrn ctcrS who do
cheaper work will get the work and

Shoe Workers Fight NRA Distortion of Strike Gains

Labor Board conveniently interprets,
to please the bosses, to mean, anyone
the bosses don't like they may claim
as q temporary worker and thus very
easily exclude him from the job. And
this, the National Labor Board says,
is not discrimination.
The strikers have made several
concessions in their demands in an
effort to reach satisfactory settle
ment of the strike, and while it is
true that at present there is very
little work in the shops and because
of that the manufacturers have q big
advantage, the shoe workers are
nevertheless determined that no mat
ter what the cost may be, they will
never agree to policy of discrimin-
alton, which has no other object than
to break the ranks and the solidarity
of the workers.
N. X. A. Supporters
Not only are the shoe workers con-
fronted with combination of the
Boot and Shoe officials, the bosses
and the N. r. A., but now again come
the renegades In the labor movement,
such as the Zimmerman and Bixbys,
who, under the guise of q new organ

The I. l.. G. leaders as well as the
MIRA. Commissioner Whalen ask for
quick settlement, being afraid that
the Left Wing workers would take
over the leadership of the strike.
The strike lasted only four days
and demands won were minimum
wage, recognition of the 1. l.. G.. and
the 35-hour week. Limitation Of
contractors, which might have been
won in time of the strike, had our
leaders fought for 1t, was left to the
Washington authorities. The workers
were sent back to work.
Two months passed, conferences
with the bosses we're held secretly,
without mobilizing the workers in the
least for this demand Of limitation.
In their leaflets the administration
of Local % said very little on the
fight against the bosses and attacked
only the Left Wing group for de-
handing this limitation as step
towards abolishing sweatshops The
code has already been signed and APP
proved by Roosevelt, but all our chief
demands won during the strike and
also limitation we're given up.
On the question of hours, for which
the dressmakers have so bitterly
ought, the 35-hour week, one of our
chief demands, has been done away
with. There is supposed to be no
overtime done, but read the code.
Exceptions j. may be allowed by
The code authority for a period of not
more than six weeks in any one ses-
zion; provided that the employer
shall be required 10 pay one and one

Militant Seaman
Faces Deportation
to Fascist Germany

NEW YORK.-Fritz Liedtke, mem
Der Of the Marine Workers Industrial
Union, and active in the 1923 revo-
luton in Germany, Is facing deporta-
ton to fascist Germany, where he
faces torture and Imprisonment, and
perhaps death, at the hands of the
Nazi murderers.
Liedtke was arrested SATURDAY.
night as he was leaving the Seamens
Church Institute. An order was at
once issued for his deportation this
Wednesday. The union has succeeded
in getting a stay of ten days, thus
blocking the plans to deport him yes
terday. While in the dornitory at
Ellis Island two days ago, Liedtke
was threatened by Mrs. Schneider,
an agent Of the German attorney for
the Nazi church organization, who
entered the dormitory shouting Hell
Hitler" in celebration of the Nazi
victory" in the bayonet poll last
Sunday. Leidtke, who denounced the
fascist agent, was told by MRS.
Schneider, ''It's all right, you will be
in the concentration camps within a
month"
A joint committee of representa-
tives from the union, the Interna-
tional Labor Defense and the Com
mittee to Aid Victims of German
Fascisrn, has initiated a campaign
for the right Of voluntary departure
for Liedtke, to save him from the
bloody Nezi regime. All workers are
urged to support this campaign and
to help in raising the $3.50 necessary
for his transportation. Members of
the Activists Section of the Interna-
tional Seamen's Club have already
donated ten dollars. All organiza-
tions should wire protests to Mrs.
Frances Perkins, RooseveIt's Labor
Secretary, protesting the arrest of
Leidtke and the attempt to throw
him into the hands of the fascist
butchers. Leidtke's case is significant
as the first attempt by the Roosevelt
government to deport a worker to
Germany since Hitler came into
power.
Lfedtke has been prosecuted by the
immigration authorities for the past
year Last spring he was held on
Ellis Island for three months until
mass protests forced his release.

ing workmen are to be reinstated
without discrimination and that all
those who were members of the per-
manent shop crew before the strike,
be Immediately reinstated. 1t was
particularly { is phase of the decision
that prompted the workers to accept
the National Labor Board ruling,
providing that the manufacturers
were ready to carry it out.
Now we find that the November
decision was only a smoke-screen to
fool the workers and make it easier
for the bosses to break the strike.
Today the National Labor Board in
terprets its own English to mean
that which the manufacturers want
it to mean. The National Labor Board
now rules that mo discrimination
against the strikers" does not mean
that strike breakers who now hold
the strikers jobs are to be discharged.
On the contrary, under the N. r. A.
policy they are to be preferred char
actcrs, In this manner the N. r.. A.
proposes to put more men to work.
Convenient interpretations
There is also the question of "per-
manent crew" which the National

ization, THE NATIONAL are flirting
with the manufacturers to help break
the strike, continuing the same scab
work they performed in the Cousins
Shop four weeks ago.
Every honest and class conscious
shoe worker knows that their slogan
of "amalgamation" is just another
trick put forth by the same element
as the Boot and Shoe officialdom,
with the support of the Jewish For
ward, to help the manufacturers
break the shoe strike in New York.
There is big question as to whether
the monest shoe workers in Lynn,
Mass, who belonged to the organiza-
ton known as the National, know
anything about the dirty work these
renegades of Zimmerman and Bixby
are carrying on in their name heer III
New York. There Is no room In New
York for the Boot and Shoe, nor Is
there any room for Bixbys or zim-
mermans.

Workers Win Bread.
Strike in New York
BY Mass Picketing
Price Lowered When
1njunctions and
Arrests Fail

NEW YORK, N. Y-The workers
Of the Allerton Ave. neighborhood
won their four-day bread strike.
forcing the reduction in the price of
bread from nine cents to seven cents
a pound and Of rolls from "a to 20
cents a dozen. The strike was under
the leadership of the Unemployed
Council, Women's Council, and the
strike committee elected by the
workers. Ali four bakeries concerned
have given in, in spite of injunctions
and arrests used against the strikers.
Union Shop Settles
The first and only place to settle
with the Strike Committee on these
prices was the Modern Bakery. a
Food Workers Industrial Union shop.
The other three bakers, Pato's,
French Model and Daylight Bakery,
all on Allerton Ave, have also been
forced to reduce their prices to 2
and 20 cents, but have so far re-
fused to sign up with the Strike Com
mittee.
The Modern Bakery, the Food
Workers Industrial Union Shop, Is
10 rer cent of it's ~rrnna :
for the next three days to the Daily
Worker. A big role in fcrcinr all
of the bakeries to come down in
prices was played by the Concoops
Grocery Store, which showed its soil
darity with the strikers by selling
bread at six cents and IS cents, thus
forcing the other bakeries to reduce
their prices.
Meeting Tonight
The workers of the Allerton Ave.
neighborhood put up a splendid
struggle in picketing all bakers en-
masse In spite Of the Injunction is
sued on Friday afternoon when the
strike began Children with signs
rode through the streets on roller
skates announcing the strike and
the people. During the
picketing, three workers were ar
rested and served two days In Jail.
A mass meeting is to be held TO-
night (Thursday) in the Sholem Alai-
chem Schulz on Allerton Ave. to
celebrate the victory and map out
plans for broaden'ne the movement
to fight for a reduction on other
commodities The need of organiza-
tion on everv block to guarantee the
victory for the future and win other
gains will be stressed at this meeting.

Deputy Sheriff
Exposed as Leader
Of La. Lynch Gang
Officials Terrorized
Negro Masses During
Lynching

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. 15.-Fed-
nor Richard, a deputy-5heriff at La
bad1eVille, La, was named today as
one of the gang that attempted to
lynch Norman Thibodeaux here. The
same gang was successful in lynch
ing Freddy Moore.
Ihlbodeaux was cut down from the
bridge TO which the lynchers hung
him, by some poor white farmers.
He is now in New Orleans.
A complete investigation of this
lynching is being made by the League
OF Struggle for Negro Rights and
the International Labor Defense,
which will present their reports,
naming other participants in the orgy,
to the Baltimore An1i-Lynch Con-
ference inquiry commission, this Sat
urday.
The investigation showed, it was
Announced, that after the gangsters
'ynched Moore, Deputy Richard
came to Thibodeaux's grandmoth-
ers's home, where he was sleeping.
Approaching the bed, he said:
get up and dress, Niger. We
are going to take you out ard hang
you. You are the one who wanted
white woman"
He was thereupon taken to the
bridge from which the body of Moore
was already hanging, and strung up
beside him.
During the 1ynching, Sheriff He
neil, who knew about the prepara-
tons, and had even warned Moore's
mother to get out of town, stayed
away carefully at home.
The Jail i'll which Moore was held
was left In charge of one deputy,
Landry, a decrepit old man of more
than so, who offered no resistance
in any case, but handed over the
keys to the lynchers, among whom
were many deputies from Labadieville
and other towns.
Armed guards were placed over
the homes of all Negroes in Laba-
dieville while the lynching was TAX
ing place.
The official excuse for the arrest
of Moore, which was preparatory to
lynching him and Thibodeaux, was
the murder of a while girl neighbor
and friend of Moore's, whose body
was found in a cane-field. Suspicion
in her death pointed definitely to
several white men, including her
step-fatfer.
Investigators pointed out that the
body was found in the dark by a
deputy-sheriff who drove straight to
the spot on the road nearest by,
stopped his car, went into the cane
field, and announced his discovery.
The parish authorities have an
nounced that they are holding
bloody clothes of Moore, which his
mother, Mrs. Lille Moore, they say,
surrendered to them.
Mrs. Moore, now IN New Orleans,
is quoted by the Louisiana Weekly"
a local Negro paper, as saying the
sheriffs came to the house looking
for bloody clothes, did not find any,
and returned later and seized her
sons ordinary work clothes.
"If there are any bloody marks on
those clothes" she said, they were
put there after they were taken from
my house."
1t is reported from Terrebone par
ish that Deputy Richard II calling
on all the rich planters to make sure
of their support in case charges are
laid against him in connection with
the lynching.
