Dubinsky Answers
Reeds Criticism,
OF Garment Union
l. l. 6. w. u. Head
Mentions Old Dispute
As Motivation
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
David Dubinsky, president Of the
international Ladies Garment
Workers Union, accused former
Senator James A. Reed today Of
"intemperant" and "unwarranted
attacks" on the union and said Mr..
Reed was motivated by a dispute
going back to N. r. A. days.
Mr.. Dubinsky testified before the
House committee investigating the
National Labor Relations Board
while the former Senator from Mis-
souri, looked on.
The witness appeared at his own
request to reply to testimony given
the committee last Saturday by Mr..
Reed regarding attempted I. L. g..
w. U. organization Of the Donnelly
Garment Co. Of Kansas City. The
company Is owned by Mrs. Reed.
Mr.. Reed had said his company
had attempted to protect workers
at the Donnelly plant from "hor-
rors" with which he declared they
were threatened by I. L. G. w. U.
organizers. Girl workers at plants
near the Donnelly plant were strip
ped and beaten, he said, for refusing
to Join I. L. G. w. U.
Disputing Mr.. Reeds testimony
that the Donnelly Garment Co.
Workers Union was not q company
union, Mr.. Dubinsky declared 1t was
given preference over his own organ
ization. He also attributed to the
company campaign to "coerce"
the workers into not joining I. L.
G. w. u.
Mr.. Dubinsky asserted that his
unions attempts to organize plants
in Kansas City were inspired by bad
working conditions there, which, he
said, had their effect on the rest Of
the industry in this country.
Mr.. Reed, he said, became q "foe
Of our union" after Mr.. Dubinsky
opposed an amendment proposed by
the former Senator to the N. r. A.
