Custom Tailors Win
Partial Victory and
Union Recognition

NEW YORK.--The general strike
Of the custom tailors which lasted 8
weeks has resulted In partial VIC
tory for the custom tailors and the
establishment Of a powerful mill
tant union in the custom tailoring
trade.
The c. T. W. I. q. has succeeded,

bargaining.
Despite the interference on the
part of MIRA officials and the strike

mated Clothing Workers Union, who
have sent scabs to take the places
of the striking Fifth Avenue tailors
and supplied the merchant tailors
with contractors to do their scab
work for them.

lition of home work and increases

File Put Up Slate

NEW YORK. Rank and file mem
bers of Local 25 of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers will present their

tions to candidates be voiced at mem
bership meetings.
Fear that the tailors are now be-
coming aware of the NR.A. swindle
and of the effect Of growing unem-
ployment on the rank and file, has
prompted the Hillman clique to rush
through the local elections to en-
able them to put through new pro-
gram Of wage slashes.
Candidates of the rank and file
committee are pledged to program
of obtaining complete account of
the thousands of dollars in the I'M
employment fund now in Hillman's
hands, the immediate distribution OF
these funds to the extent of $40 a
week to every unemployed man and
woman, exemption of dues for the
unemployed and establishment of
their full rights as members. The
rank and file committee is demand
ing that Hillman disclose his secret
negotiations with the bosses and that
a struggle for increases in wages to
meat higher living costs be waged.
Rank and file members are urged
to protest against the racketeering
leadership of the Amalgamated and
vote for candidates who will fight in
the interest of the tailors, The fol-
lowing are the rank and file candi-
dates: Max Youngman, Paul Persi-
koff, Max Feigelman, Sam zantner,
Better, Aron zalitzin, Friedman,

which might have proved colusior
between the A. F. of L. plaintiffs and
the fur manufacturers associations.
The A. F. of l.. fur union, which
was deserted by its members after &
history of corruption and betrayal, is
seeking to gain an injunction COM
polling these workers to come under
it's racketeering control again. This
drive, which has been characterized
by intimidation, coercion, violence
and murder, was inStigated by the fur
bosses who control the A. F. of L.
dummy union.
Indicating his willingness to throw
the force Of the state behind the
bosses and their A. F. Of L. allies,
whose hired gangsters have proved
incapable Of forcing the fur workers
back into the company union,
Judge Gavegan gave it as his opin-
ion that an agreement signed between
the bosses and the A. F. Of L. officials
was a collective agreement even
though the A. F. Of L. union at the
time of the signing had no members,
and even though it has no fur worker
members today.
During the afternoon, when counsel
Tor the fur workers introduced proofs
of violence and intimidation pro-
ceeoing from the right wing" Of
1cialdom, Gavegan was seen to doze
on the bench. He had already an
nounced that he would turn over all
evidence Of violence, on either side,
to the federal prosecutors who are
bringing suit against the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union.
irving Potash and JACK Schneider
were two Of the fur workers leaders
who testified during the afternoon.
Potash told Of being attacked by q
gang armed with knives, who were
later defended in court by Marko-
witch, member Of the law firm which
represents the A. F. Of l.. plaintiffs
in the present trial.
Schneider told Of a series of frame
up cases in which he had been ar
rested and prosecuted by the plain
tits attorneys, in every case the
charges having been finally dropped
Null, plaintiffs attorney. brought out
the fact that Schneider is under de
OAesROlOll Vial ECS. WuGl BElG DE-
tense Attorney Boudin protested on
tile grounds that this had no bsar-
ing on the case, Judge Gavegan de-
clared: II consider it Of great i'm
port2nce.' Later, however, when
Boudin showed that the deportation
charges are part of the persecution
campaign against leaders of the mil
liant Industrial Union, he was silent
Mrs. Mollinari and Ben Young, ful
workers, testified to beatings anc
court frame-ups that were given then
as part Of the bosses strikebreakina
and terror campaign to drive the
workers back into the A. F.. of L.
Great interest has Leen shown
throughout the trial among the flu,
workers. Every day the court is
packed with furriers watching the
latest attempt of the bosses through
their courts to break their unity and
beat down their conditions.

Natl Shoe Union
RenegadeS Out to
Smash Shoe Union
Furnished Sc a BIS tC
Bosses at Outset
of Strike

NEW YORK.-Pians to take con-
troll over the shoe workers in New
York City and drive out the Shoe and
Leather Workers Industrial Union are
being made by certain self-styled
leaders of the National Shoe Workers
Association, an organization with a
membership in the New England
states.
Thsss organizers, who tried to
break tie heroic Strike of the shoe
workers In New York city in tire early
period of the strike, as for example in
the Cousins Shop, whsre they sup
piled scabs and failed to accomplish
the results they intended are now at
tempting new striGabreaking action
against the shoe workers.
At the moss critical period Of the
strike, the Lovestoneite rsno3adss,
BiXby and Zimmerman, are calling a
mass moeting of shoe workers at r.
wing Plaza Wednesday night, under
the smokescreen Of an "analgema-
ton" call but actually to continue the
same scabbery they were guilty of at
the outset of the strike
The announcement by w. II. Buck
ley, another organizer, that the Ma
tional Labor Board settled the shoe
strike was branded as a lie, by Fred
Biedenkapp, union secretary, who de-
clared that the strike is net yet set-
tied. The "ama1gamation" slogan of
the renegades is not for amalgams-
ton with the workers, but with the
bosses, Biedenkapp declared.
The real rank and file movement
throughout New England for ANAL
gamation, he stated, receives the
hearty support of the rank and file
workers in New York and TIE Shoe
and Leather Workers Industrial
Union will participate 100 per cent
with all other shoe workers through
out the country for the building Of
one National Industrial Union on the
basis of the Shop Delegate System,
with rank and file control. Shoe
workers OF New York will teach these
renegades q lesson SO that they will
know that there is no room for them
amongst honest workers, he declared
Shoe employers in New York ap-
piled to the National Labor Board for
a reinterpretation of its decision call
ing for reinstatement Of all strikers.
The Board, which functions in their
interests, readily granted their re-
quest and ruled that all scabS be per-
mitted to remain in the shops.
At a membership meeting at Ar
cadia Hall Monday, the shoe strikers
voted to continue their fight against
discrimination in the shops and to go
to the bosses with their demand for
reinstatement of all strikers.

Demand Inquiry in
Murder of Anthony

NEW YORK.-New York workers
are demanding an open investiga-
ton into the death of Paul An
thony, anti-fascist fighter and
member of the Greek Spartacus
Club, who was found murdered in
the lavatory of the Pennsylvania
station two weeks ago. Police are
blocking an investigation with the
claim that he died of "heart fail
ure," despite the fact that his face
was beaten to a pulp and his body
was covered with bruises.
Anthony, who was unemployed
and homeless, had been passing up
Communist election slogans the
night before his murder. 1t is be-
lieved that he was attacked in the
Pennsylvania station while pa5ting
up these slogans. He was Sc years
old and an active member of Sec
ton Two of the Communist Party.

Where No Red Watch
ers Were Present, Vote
Totalled Zero

NEW YORK.-Wholesale stealing
Of Communist votes on a city-wide
scale is revealed in charges made yes
terday by Carl Brodsky, Communist
Party election campaign manager.
Inspection of the election records at
Police headquarters discloses, Brodsky
said, that in hundreds of election
districts where there we're no Com
munist watchers, the Party vote
totalled zero.
Brodsky stated that it was at these
places, where watchers failed to ap-
pear, that most of the Communist
votes we're stolen. He added, how
ever, that even at polling places
where watchers were present, votes
were thrown out, citing many cases
where the watchers count greatly
exceeded the final official report.
Several examples of such discrep-
ancies between watchers reports,
taken from the voting machines just
before they were sealed, and the re-
ports send to the Board Of Elections
by the election district officials, are
as follows:

Soviet View Unchanged
MOSCOW, Nov. II, - The Soviet
press today prints a dispatch from
the Tass Agency in America, referring
to editorial comment in American
newspapers on the negotiations in
Washington:
'If these comments represent the
serious opinions Of responsible Off
Gals, well-informed circles believe
that a serious situation may result,
the dispatch said.
"Sympathizers of normal relations
between the United States and the
U. 8. S. r. wonder whether the State
Department understands the firmness
of the Soviet Governments position
that it is not inclined to discuss such
questions as debts and counter claims
before the establishment of normal
diplomatic relations.
1T is feared in these circles that
some officials ignore the fact that
other governments have tried to
shake the position of the Soviet
Government on this question and
that all such attempts have come to
inevitable failure.
"These officials" it was added
Should understand that the Soviet
position has not changed, but con-
trarily has strengthened, and they
must assume responsibility for the
possible consequences"
