January 13, 1924 “AMALGAMATED IN $3,000 GIFT T0 GERMAN WORKERS Clothing Workers Plan Drive on West Coast The General Executive Board of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, in session in Chicago, voted $3,000 to the needle trade workers of Germany, who are now in a condition of extreme want as a re- sult of the terrible state of that eduntry brought on by the decline and demoralization of the capitalist system. Sidney Hillman, General President of the Amalgamated, in a special in- terview to The Daily Worker de- clared that the organization was in a very satisfactory condition despite the depression in the industry. Organization Drive Planned A plan is being formulated for an organization campaign on the Pacific coast where the industry is newly established and rapidly spreading in the ready-made clothing business, The report of the American-Rus- sian Industrial Corporation, with recommendations that will further advance the Amalgamated’s assist- ance to Soviet Russia, was adopted. A large number of organizers will be placed in the field at once, de- clared President Hillman. Their ac- tivities will be mainly directed to- ward what ‘are known as the out-of- town shops, where the attempt is made by employers to establish old sweat-shop conditions.

Secretary Hughes Continues To Spread Communist Propaganda The latest eruption of the bewhiskered Secretary of State to come to our attention as we go to press is a letter sent to the Workers Party of America by Gregory Zinoviev, Chairman of the Communist International, greeting the American party on its decision to start a Communist daily. A telegram to the same effect was printed in “THE WORKER”, but the com- plete text of the article which appeared in the Moscow Pravda, Dec. 14, last, was translated by Mr. Hughes’ retainers and sent out over ‘the wires to the American newspapers.

This document she immediately turned over to Ober- meier. The officers of the New York Hotel Workers’ Union and particularly the young girl, Miss Elster, are to be complimented for their action in im- mediately putting the skids under this human sewer rat. He is only one of the many that infest the labor movement. And the fact that the trade unions, conservative as well as radical are their happy nunting| ground bears evidence to the fear in which the unions are held by the} employing class. The unions are the first line of de- fence of the workers against their exploiters and the latter use every dirty method to smash the unions and expose their membership to dan- ger. When a radical union such as the Hotel Workers exists, the bosses are still more willing to get rid of it because its officers are imbued not alone with the intention to improve the daily conditions of the workers but to reach far beyond that to the goal which will end all ‘exvloitation with the emancipation of all workers from wage slavery and the establish- 1st issue of the Free Voice, official organ of The Amalgamated Food Workers. | country. |reality the work jfile, from the thousands Anialgamated Food Workers Expose Despicable Fink In Employ of the Hotel Owners | Thru the clever work of Miss Dorothy Elster, office employe at New ed Food Worke of America, Harry Pulvers, stool pigeon in the pay of the Hotelmen’s Association and member of the Hotel Workers’.
