Dressnakers
Back Chicago
Left Wingers
Nominate Militant Slate
Despite Intimidation
at Meeting

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-Alarmed by
the sentiment against the admin
istration and for the Left Wing
program, the administration under
the leadership of Balls came to the
meeting Of Local 100, I. L. G. w. u,
last Thursday, prepared to terrorize
the dressmakers into submission.
Nominations for manager, secre-
ry-treasurer and business agents
were to take place at this meeting.
Unable to whip up sentiment for
the administration by raising the
cry of Communism, physical force
was then used to terrorize the mem
bership, and two workers from the
Franklin Shop were slugged by the
Guests" of the local invited by
Bialis-Barkin Company.
When the excitement and com
motion created by the smuggling sub
sided, Balls proceeded in his at
tacks against the rank and file
taking dual unionism as his text.
He read part OF a letter sent to
workers employed in a non-union
blouse shop, advising the workers of
that shop that the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union is ready
to collect back pay for them, de-
handing nothing in return.
His charge was that this letter
was sent to dressmakers of the I. l..
G.. w. U. and that the left wingers
are members of the N. T. w. I. u
The following is the complete letter
as it was sent:
Dear Fellow Worker:
I'VE are asking you to come down
to the office of the union at 119
| South Wells Street, second floor, on
Monday, Nov. 5, 1884, at 5 pm, in
order to advise you of the plans
that we have worked out to get
your back pay which is due to you
The fact that he is moving does not
stop the union from collecting the
money which is due to you.
Your presence in the office will
help us gather the necessary facts
needed in order to fight your case
By coming to the office on Monday
you are under no obligation. We
are not requesting you to join the
union. All we ask is that you CO.
operate with us to supply us some
facts, because they are in your in
| terests.
"Fraternally yours,
NEEDLE TRADES WORKERS
INDUSTRIAL UNION,
"(Signed) E. B. GERSH,
Organizer
This attack was ably answered by
the rank and file leaders. They
said that the N. T. w. I. U. does
not aim to take away dressmakers
from the l. L. @. w. U, On the
contrary. it aims to consolidate al
dressmakers into one union, enc
the recent statement of the N. T
W. I. U. on unity expressing its
willingness to give up its New YorE
dress department is sufficient proc
of the incorrectness of Balls
charges.
Balls and his associates aimed tc
! discredit the rank ard file, espe-
cially the leadership, on the eve Of
the election. But neither terror noI
the cry of Communism" nor the
charge of dual unionism succeeded
in breaking away the dressmakers
support to the rank and file and
their program.
Nominations proceeded. All rank
and file candidates were nominated
Indications were made that they
will not be placed on the ballot. No
tice was served by Balls that the
left wingers will be cleaned out
But judging from the sentiment ex-
pressed by 80 workers at the meet
ing, Mr.. Balls will have tough
job to accomplish his amhition-ii
at all.

Joe Brainerd, editor OF the Valley

to the Bank Of Valley Center. Babson
led him into his private office. And
then, for the last time, he disclosed his
plan for the organization Of the For
lorn Valley Irrigation district.
Here's the copy for a full-page ad,"
he finished. "It's a call for a mass
meeting OF the citizens, to be held next
Saturday afternoon In the plaza, for
the purpose Of discussing the water
situation and the appointment OF a
committee to investigate the possibili-
ties Of leading surface irrigation into
