Socialist Leaders, With ~ r. H., Broke Kngoods Strike

tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union. Workers who were on strike
under Feingold's leadership can now
understand why Alberts was at first
hesitant about supporting the lead
ers and eventually came out against
the leadership. 1t was part of his
stool-pigeon job for the bosses and
the N. R. A.
A. F. of L. Strikebreakers
But the fact that damns the whole
leadership of the reactionary unions
is the statement that if they had
supported the strike it should"
have been won. Thus these min
utes of the Regional Labor Board
are confession of the fact that
the labor takers would rather see
the strike broken and the workers
driven back under slave conditions
than see the strikers victorious
under rank and file leadership. Out
of their own mouths it proves these

gional Labor Board and the Off
Gals of the A. F. of L., the Anal
gamated and other old line unions
dedicate their activities to one
thing-splitting the ranks of labor
in order to tie the working class to
the strikebreaking policies Of the
government.
Why the Red" Scare?
From the beginning of the knit
goods strike the bosses and their
agents raised the cry of reds in
control" and tried to split the ranks
on that scare. Even though under
the Leadership of an American Fed
Grafton of Labor locel union, af1li-
ated with the United Textile Work
ers, the strike had a broad leader
ship elected democratically by the
rank and file. Feingold was the
outstanding leader and, from the
first day, the agents Of the NR.A.
Regional Labor Board and the CHI
Gals of the Philadelphia Central
Trades Council and other local
labor takers endeaTored to enlist
the support of The weakling and
careerist. Alberts, in an organized

Trades Workers Industrial Union,
affiliated with the T. U. U. L.
HMW). The chairman of their
strike committee believes that
they can hold this group in the
u. 7. w. and eliminate Mr.. ]. II,
Feingold as their leader with the
Communistic element who follow
him. The matter was left with
Mr.. Weinstein to continue his at
tempts at mediation. Some of
the union members of the board
reported that the other unions
had not cooperated up to that
time with the strikers. Labor has
taken the part of the board and
given the strike no support. If
they do, unicn labor should be
able to defeat Mr.. Cohen head
of the bosses association and the
knitgoods manufacturers. How
ever, labor has its problems, and
the leadership of this strike is
one of them. 1t was recommended
that the board use its best eff
forts to have Mr.. Cohen and Mr..
Weinstein in fer further con-
ference. Mr. Rosenwald under
took to arrange a conference be-
tween Mr.. Cohen and Mr.. Vein
stein for Monday, April 3Oth in
the office of this board"
Such was the action of the
Socialist leaders at time when

is this disgust of the former strik-
ers with the U.TW. leadership that
prompts the bosses and their agents
to use the stool-pigeon, Alberts, to
try to swing the knitgoods workers
under the leadership of the strike
breaking leaders of the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union.
This exposure of the activities OF
the Regional Labor Board and
their tool, Alberts, will make such
a move impossible.
In most OF the mills the workers
are actively inaugurstirg rank and
file committees to fight against dis
elimination, bla 1kiisting. speed-up
and hunger wages, and it is certain
that these mill struggles, taken to-
gether, will soon lead to resump-
tion Of the strike struggle, under
militant leadership, that must re-
suit in victory.

your strike, You must approach
the veteran5' organizations and in
terest them in your struggle and
solicit their aid and support on your
side of the strike when the strike
occurs.
Fight For United Front
You must fight untiringly for
united front with all the unions in
the steel industry. The Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union
has issued to your convention an
appeal for united front in the
coming action with the A. A. This
appeal, however, Mike Tighe re-
fused to read to the delegates &C
he has done on many other occa-
sions when the S. NJ w I. U. has
made appeals for united action of
both organizations.
One OF the main necessities for
the success OF the coming strike
Is the unity Of all the steel work
ers. Mike Tighe and the inter-
national officials are opposed to
this unity. and in this very oppo-
sition TO unity they are proving
to the workers that they do not
want the workers to win their
strike. Every local union, every
lodge, must take up this united
front appeal of the S. M. w. /. U.
and carry 1t into life over the
heads of Mike Tighe and his
machine.
The rank and file must see to it
that if a conference takes place in
Washington on the proposed strike
action with the National Labor
Board or any ether government Of
ficials or agency, that such con-
ferences will be attended by mass
delegations of steel workers from all
over the country, and that no
agreements should be signed until
they receive ratification from the
rank and file members of the
union and the workers on strike.
THE members of the Amalgamated
and all steel workers must un-
derstand that Mike Tighe and the
international officials are opposed
to the program of offensive action
adopted by the convention and will
do everything in their power to
hinder its going into effect, and
will bring forward a whole series of
Jim Davises' Mrs. Pinchots, etc, etc,
in order to check the growing sup
port of this strike movement. You
must insist that this strike be in
the hands Of the rank and file.
Although the international officials
are opposed to this strike action
they will. when they see they can
not check it, do everything in their
power to get in the leadership of it
in order that they may be in bet
ter position to betray it.
You must begin now in every lodge
to set UP your own rank and file
strike committees and in aech plant
the immediate election of united
front committees, composed Of all
the workers in the mill, regardless
of what union they are affiliated to
organized or unorganized, and be
prepared to guard jealousy this
strike. Any leader who weakens

action despite the fact that the op-
position had defeated Tighe in his
efforts to put through rules Of
order which would deny from con-
sideration Of the convention any
resolutions which were not pre-
sented before the converting Of the
convention, in time for printing in
the official program of business Of
the convention. They amended this
rule, so that every resolution pre-
sented by any delegate from the
floor would be considered by the
convention on condition that the
resolutions were presented the first
three days of the convention.
This Tighe too tried to block, but
he was unable to. Even in the face
of this amendment, he was brazen
enough to rule out several very good
resolutions. One calling for revising
of the constitution along industrial
unionism, trade union democracy,
and the unrestricted right to strike
and picket.
THE opposition succeeded, only on
l the last day of the convention,
in bringing before the convention
its program which it worked over
in committee. Here Tighe tried
again to rule this program for Of
fensive action out of order, saying
it had been covered by previous
action. The delegates in very
stormy scene threatened to bolt the
convention and began to collect
together their papers and material,
ready to walk out. A delegate from
Weirton took the floor and told
Tighe that unless he allows this
program to come before the con-
vention, this means the end of the
Amalgamated. THE workers in my
town are ready to go into the Com
munist union unless this program
is adopted by this convention. "
Tighe finally was forced to concede
to the pressure Of the delegates and
the resolution calling for all new
lodges to ask for recognition at the
same time-on May 21st-thst Of
fensive action be taken in the
middle of June If demands are not
recognized by the employers.
Delegates Force Action Resolution
The delegates then forced through
a resolution calling for the setting
up of a committee in charge of
offensive action. When this was
passed, Tighe declared he washes
his hands Of the whole business.
He would have nothing to do with
the setting up Of such a, committee
The delegates met by districts and
elected one from each district, 10
in all, as the committee in charge
of offensive action, this committee
to go back into the districts, call
district conferences, elect a broad
district leadership to carry through
the offensive action and to have the
lodges elect broad strike committees
and to prepare for strike.

tons were adopted by the con-
vention: The six hour day, five

N.R.A. Board Minutes
Show Plot to Eliminate
Militant Leaders
BY H. NJ. WICKS

PHILADELPHIA. = The
Socialist Party leaders who
are members of the Regional
Labor Board were the chief
organizers and leaders of the
fierce drive launched to break
the knitgoods workers strike.
This is proved by ui1impeachable doc
umentary evidence in my possession
the official minutes of the meet
ing Of that board held on April 81,
1884. The yellow Socialist leader
who was entrusted with the job of
using the combined power of that
governmental body, the official
leadership of the A. F. of L., and
the Socialist Party, to break the
strike, was Mr.. Charles Weinstein,
general manager of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers.
Here Is the Evidence
On page four of the official
minutes Of the April 9th session of
the Regional Labor Board, meet
ing under the Craftsmanship of Dr..
the president, we read
where Weinstein boosted of his
strikebreaking role, declaring that
labor" by supporting the rank ana
file strike Of the knitgoods workers
should be able" to defeat the
manufacturers, but preferred deuo-
eraccly to sabotage the strike and
heip detect the workers. Here is
TIC eject quotation from that sec
ton Of the Official minutes dealing
with tire lsnitgoods STRIKE:
