Needle Trades Union
Gives Answers to Lies
of Jewish Forward"

NEW YORK.-The Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union today
branded as false a report appearing
in the Jewish Daily Forward on Sat-
urdsy, Dec. q, accusing the union OF
signing a special agreement with the
Banner Skirt Co. at 327 w. 36th st.
for 4O-hour week and work on holi-
days.
The Industrial Union declares that
such an accusation is intended to
cover up the horse deals that off,
Gals of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union are making
with the jobbers and contractors to
drive down the conditions OF the
workers.
at is true that the workers of the
Banner Skirt Co. worked on Thanks
giving Day, but they did so in viola
ton Of the agreement and without
the knowledge or consent of the In
dustrial Union, for which they will
be called to account" the Unions
statement declares. 1.-THE agreement
with this firm provides for the S5-
hour week, observance Of all holidays
and all other recognized union stand
ards. The union agreement is avail
able for all who want to see it,"
The Industrial Union points out
that the same committee which found
the workers of the Banner Skirt Co.
at work also found an International
shop Of about rs workers at 327 w.
seth st. employed on the holiday.
The bosses at this shop produced a
permit from a union official.
The attacks on the Industrial
Union are being made by Charles
Zimmerman and his henchmen of
the IL.G.W. in desperation at the
growing dissatisfaction of the dress
makers, who are demanding an ex-
PLANTATION for their treacheries.
1.-THE Dress Department of the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union is maintaining the highest
standards in the shops controlled by
its members. Every attempt by the
bosses to cut wages will be met with
the most stubborn resistance on the
part of the Industrial Union and its
entire membership the union states.

Will Hold
Bazaar to Raise
Funds, Feb. 21-25
C. P. Calls All Groups
to Send Delegates
to Committee

NEW YORK.-The New York dis
trict of the Communist Party yester-
day called upon all organizations and
workers to support the international
Labor Defene bazaar, which is in
tended to raise much-needed funds
for defense of the Scottsboro boys and
other Negro and class-war prisoners
facing death and Imprisonment before
the capitalist courts. The call fol-
lows:
The wave of terror against the Ne
gro toilerS and the attempts of the
Southern lyncherS to railroad the
Scottsboro boys to death bring very
sharply to the attention of the en-
tire labor movement the Imperative
ness Of rallying all the workers in tho
struggle for the rights of the Negro
masses and against lynching.
In the campaign against Negro
persecution, for the freedom of the
Scottsboro boys, and for the release
OF all class-war prisoners, the Inter-
national Labor Defense has, and is
playing, a leading and historic role.
Hundreds of workers and dozens of
Work1ng-claSs organizations apply
weekly to the I. L. D. for aid. To
meet the expenses Of all these cam
paigns, the New York district of the
]. L. D. has arranged bazaar to be
held Feb. q to Is, 1884. The Com
n1unist Party of the New York dis
trict fully endorses this bazaar and
calls upon all organizations to elect
committees to the I. L. D. Bazaar
Committee which meets every Thurs
day at the office of the New York
district of the l. L. D., 870 Broadway.

Officials Who Try
Them for Disloyalty

NEW YORK.-The trial OF the lett
wing administration Of Local No. 8
II the International Ladies Garment
workers Union was resumed yester-
.sy at union headquarters, 3 W. 10th
It. The left wing officials, who were
9lected by an overwhelming majority
Il the members of Local 9, are
harged with "disloyalty" to the
nion, and are being tried to en-
bic the I. l.. G.. w. officialdom to
ust them legally"
J. Greenberg, secretary of the To-
al, read statement for the defense
yesterday in q general denial Of the
charges. He presented leaflets which
had ben distributed both by the re-
dictionary Socialist clique and by the
Kur5man clique. He showed that
he leaflets distributed by the LETT
wing local we're mild in comparison
10 the vilification OF each other con-
tained In the circulars Of the two
clioues. Leaflets of the right wing
clique charged that the Kurzman
clique misused thousands Of dollars
II the union treasury to get control
Of the local In the elections Of 1881,
md other charges of corruption.
While the leaflets were being read
VICE President Kurzman turned pale
and other members OF the board
seemed nervous. The leaflets ex-
)osed the fact that Jacob Halperin
lad taken money from the union for
70 years and was unable to get
elected. He had chosen as his new
campaign manager Max Schwartz,
Who had been removed from the
Joint Board for graft and who, q
year ago, had been manufacturer
Of cioaks and suits. Schwartz is one
Of the chief prosecutors of the left
wing leaders.
The defense statement pointed out
that the two factions had now united
in an unprincipled manner to Gust
the Local leadership elected by the
membership on the basis Of struggle.
at the outset Of the trial B. Cooper,
manager of Local 8, who had pre-
vlously asked for a dismissal of the
charges, again called for nlistrial
and demanded that the case be put
before a committee of the rank and
file. This was fatty denied. The
prosecuting clique also denied the
right to a Jewish 5tenographer to en-
able the defense to have copies Of
the speeches Of those unable to speak
English
The trial adjourned, to be reopened
Tuesday, when the defense will con-
tInue to present more proof of the
frame-up character of the chsrges of

contingent of workers who had now
assembled at And st.
A strike meeting was called i'm
mediately. Several provocateurs and
disrupters attempted to disrupt the
meeting by calling second meeting.
The workers Immediately countered
by chasing them off the lot.
Leadership Weak and inexperienced.
A strike committee of six was
elected to represent the workers, and
the entire group proceeded to march
IN an orderly manner to the @. w. A.
Office on 28th st. The inexperienced
and weak leadership, however, cowed
the rank and file by saying that they
would meet with police resistance If
they shouted slogans,
On their arrival at the G. w. A.
office they found the entrance thanked
by police. After waiting for half an
hour the strike committee of six were
admitted to the building. After an
other hour of waiting they were given
a hearing by F. I. Daniels, Executive
Director of the State C.W.A.
In the meeting with Daniels, the
weakness of the strike leadership was
shown by their repeated concessions
to Daniels.
Although the strikers had in
Structed their committee to demand
SIS day for q three-day week, work
mems compensation on the job, ade-
quate medical aid and free transporta-
ton, the committee accepted seven
and one half hour-day, four day
week, so cent wage scale and failed
to bring up the question OF work
mems compensation for men injured
on the job.
When the strike committee reported
to the workers assembled outside, the
workers booed and jeered the an
nouncement of settlement at a SIG
week wage scale.
The strike committee told the as
senbled strikers that they should GO
home; the strike was settled. The
meeting broke up with small dissatis-
fed groups of workers standing about
in the rain.
C.W.A. workers should organize i'm
mediately on the job, demanding: full
union wage scales; workmen's COM
pensation on all jobs; suitable cloth
ing; transportation to and from the
job; and no pay loss for time lost
through stormy weather, sickness
etc.

POST OFFICE CLERKS
OPPOSE FURTHER CUT
Letter Urging Against Reductions
Of "Meager Incomes"
Sent Roosevelt.

A letter strongly urging against fur
ther reduction of "the already meager
incomes" Of workers has been sent to
President Roosevelt by Thomas F.
Dolan, president of the United National
Association Of Post Office Clerks.
Explaining his organization appreci-
ates the problems faced by the Govern
ment. Dolan says:
The reason Federal employees protest
against salary reductions is because of
the universally accepted theory that the
public service, under the civil service
system, Is designed to secure continuity
and security of position, a stabilized
pay, which IS expected to be only rea-
sonable, seniority system of promotion
and other safeguards as will impel a
man or woman to give up their lives to
the service of the Government Just as
do our Army and Navy men It Is ex-
pected to be more or less life of de-
votion to duty, Of faithfulness in the
discharge of ones duties, of reliability,
dependability and general all-around
qualifications that are hardly expected
of those in any civilian service If these
safeguards are removed or If the modest
pay Of such employees is slashed with
every economic disturbance, then this
practically means the end of the civil
service, and it also removes the in
centive for men to give up their lives to
the public service or the national de-
fense."
