Chicago Teachers in Ring for Kids versus Tlinois Corporations The teachers are again fighting the battle of the school kiddies against the great corporations. And once again tax-dodging is the point of at- ; tack. The Chicago Federation of Women High School Teachers and the Feder- ‘ation of Men Teachers have filed a petition at Springfield before the Mli- ; mois state tax commission, attacking | the arbitrary rye known as “Num- | ber 11.” The rule governs the man- ner in which the cash value of stocks is now arrived’ at for purposes of taxation. The petition demands abol- ishment of the rule under threat of mandamus proceedings. In the opinion of one of the attor- neys for the teachers’ federations, there is little likelihood of the peti- tion being granted by the commis- sion, and a further fight will then be undertaken. Keep the Voice Down. EVANSTON, IIL, Nov, 22.—The se- cret of keeping one’s temper is to pre- vent the voice from rising in anger, Joseph Jastrow, professor of psychol- ogy, University of Wisconsin, told Northwestern University students ia an address here. HE ADVANCE, the official organ of the Amalgamated Clothing Work. ers of America, in its editorial, “Let Us Call a Spade—a Spade,” charges that the T. U. EB. U. dislikes the Amal- gamated and that the T, U. E. L. would see the Amalgamated out of business if it cannot force it to do business in the T, U, EL, Feel a Conspiracy. The Advance would like the work- ers to look upon the left wing senti- ment that‘is so strong in the Amalga- mated as the work of a few men or- ganized in the T, U. E. L. who dislike the Amalgamated and want to impose their will upon the organization, In other words, that the T. U. EB. L, is conspiring against the Amalgamated. It is the same argument the capital- ists use against the labor movement. That the labor leaders have formed a conspiracy to stir up discontent among the workers, and thus for selfish mo- tives foment strikes. It Brother Hillman would be con- fronted with such an argument he would declare that the labor leaders , &re not responsible for the discontent, That at the bottom of the discontent and directly responsible for the strikes are the bad conditions prevailing for the workers and their mistreatment in tho shops. Reasons for Left Wing. The existence of a left wing move- ment cannot be brushed aside by such srguments, There are basic reasons for the existence of the left wing. They are the following: Li That conditions for the mem- ‘* bers of the Amalgamated in the shops in recent years, instead of im- vei head have continually become Nc 2) D tial ts administration pursues i How do you justify, Brother Schloss- l ners, the fact that in the name of the Civil Liberties Union you demand freedom of speech of the ku klux klan at a time when in your own union the heads are split of those who dared voice their opinions? By what right, Brother Hillman, do you come to a‘sister union urging the necessity of mutual assistance in time of struggle and promising them help when in your own union, President Hillman, you have deprived members of their daily bread for’ the mere fact that they collectéd funds for the cloak- makers’ strikers or because they dared to differ with you, most worthy presi- dent? By what right, Brothers Blancos, do you address a meeting of the anti- fascist organization demanding jus- tice of Mussolini, freedom for Italy, condemning the castor oil methods of the fascisti—when in your own little )sovereign, there is more than one Mus- solini? Your methods téwards de- feating an ideological opponent are more dishonorable than those of the fascisti. At one time you fought against the open shops for their inauguration of the blacklist system. And today, lead- ers of the Amalgamated have inaugu- rated their own blacklist system against the most active union mem bers. : Leaders of the Amalgamated, do you think you are pursuing the proper policy? You are no doubt familiar with the histdry of the class struggle, you are well aware of the fact that terroristic methods will not suppress a revolutionary spirit. Such methods will only serve ag fuel to the, fire. These methods that you are employ- ing are in themselves an admission of your desperateness. Worthy leaders, Hillman, Schloss+ berg, Beckerman and Harry Cohen, can you'deny the fact that» had. not the left wing movement raised the ts- sue last year against throwing work- ers from their shops, against the plot or plague of reductions and produc- tions, you would find yourselves to- tally helpless? ‘ tant struggles on the part of the work- ers to improve conditions, 3. That the administration sup- * ports a bureaucracy that disre- gards the will of the rank and file and uses its position to make agreements with the bosses at the expense of the workers, 4 That instead of pursuing a pol- * icy of class struggle, the adminis- tration concerns itself with co-operat- ing with and assisting the bosses, Has No Better Friend, The charge that the, T. U. E, L. dis- likes the Amalgamated igs unworthy of any serious-minded labor journal that is expected to give serious consid- eration to real problems that arise in the organization. The T, U. B. L. doesn’t dislike the Amalgamated, if by the Amalgamated is meant the rank and file, the members of the organiza- tion, The Amalgamated has no better and more loyal friend than the T, U, EB. L. But The Advance cannot expect the T. U. EB, L, to fall upon its knees and worship the reactionary officials who dominate the organization and who pursue policies that are wrong and very harmful to the' interests of the workers and the organization as such, Officials Responsible, HE revolt of the rank and file against the Amalgamated bureau- cracy is due to the realization on their part that the policies of their officials and the methods used by them in the organization are responsible for the prevailing bad conditions. The revolt is the left wing. Organizing it and giving it constructive direction, so that it shall not go up a blind alley and result in dualism or the complete destruction of the union, 18 the T, U.

We have paid the price, yet hundreds of workers were spared because the bosses, as well as some union leaders, were compelled to heed the demands of the ‘masses that we represented. No sooner did we cease our agitation. accepting your promise at the general executive board meeting that you will do something for the tailors, than the bosses reopened their offensive with more vigor than ever, to which you stood by indifferently, And at present, in order to satisty the greedy appetites of the bosses, you are conducting @ campaign to inaugu- rate piece work in New York. We therefore ask you, worthy leaders of the Amalgamated, are we to be con- demned because we want a good union for our Members? Are we to be con- demned because we want to help the striking cloakmakers? Are we to be condemned because we are against piece work? Are we to be condemned because we want a 40-hour labor week? Are we to be condemned be- cause we differ from you ideologi- cally? Are we to be condemned be- cause we believe that amalgamation cam strengthen the working-class movement? Worthy leaders of the Amalgamated. consider carefully where your action may lead you. The recent destroyers of the garment workers are at pres- ent employing fascisti methods against those that helped to build the,Amal- gamated, Remember that the left wing move- ment was sponsored as a result of the indifference of the professional lead- e:s to the sufferings and needs of the workers. You are making a mis- take when you think that you can de- stroy the left wing movement by de- priving the class-conscious workers of their bread. Our program has implanted deep roots in the hearts of thousands of workers. Thru your terroristic meth- odseyou may succeed in driving a few into submission, but you will not be able to destroy the movement. Remember, leaders of the Amalga- mated, that the only means we have of supporting and maintaining our families is the shop.

Says The Advance: “The officers of the cloakmakers’ union of New York, who are the political dummies of the T. U. BE.

In the most re- actionary union a deed of equal das- tardliness cannot be recorded.

Has the general office condemned Beckerman for his dastardly act? Did The Advance, which can print pages of abuse against the left wing, print a word in condemnation of Beckerman?

Also Rachel Menzies had come home, with more troubles; there was a strike of the clothing workers! Quite unforeseen and spontaneous—hundreds of workers, driven beyond endurance by petty oppressions, had walked out in the middle of a job; the movement had spread all over this Angel City, paradise of the “open shop.” The workers were crowding into the union offices and signing up, and a regular mass-struggle was under way But Papa Menzies, one of the intellectuals among the strikers, a man of force and insight—Papa Menzies was sitting at home, with his frantic Hebrew wife clinging to his coat-tails and wail- ing that if he went out and took part in the strike, the police would get him and ship him off to Poland to be shot, and never to see his family again! As a result of this, Rachel was not going to be able to come to college. Bunny, elegant young gentleman of leisure, who had never known what it was to need money in his life, could not uderstand this, and had to be told in plain words that Rachel’s family had been making sacrifices to get her an education, and all these plans were knocked out. Then of course Bunny. wanted to get Dad to help; what was the use of having a rich father, if you couldn’t serve your friends in a pinch?

Tho Ad- vance, however, knows that its argu- ment is sheer sophistry. The Advance knows that the leaders of the civoak: makers made frantic appeals to the Amalgamated for relief. Had the Amalgamated given, as it should, the relief in time ‘and in the amounts it easily could, there woukl have been no occasion for the officials of the cloak- | makers pectaettng against the Amal- gamated, Vicious Demagogy.

So what is Mr, Gitlow to do if he has a desire to run the Amalgamated?

It contains an attack upon the writer of this article, Mr, Gitlow, as he is termed. Mr. Git- low, in his desire go run the Amalga- mated, has put on the job to wreck the union the Workers’ Party, tie T. U. E. L, and the puppets in the cloak- makers’ and furriers’ unions.

This is how the administration, thru The Advance, wants to justify its criminal neglect in utilizing favorable industrial condi- tions for the workers. Furthermore, Hillman and Beckerman have already concluded an agreement in New York for two years that prevents the union from capitalizing on the favorable in- dustrial] conditions prophesied, to ob- tain better conditions for the, work- ers, For two years the Beckerman- Hillman’ administration closed an agreement which obtained nothing for the workers, which included a supple- mentary agreement that lays open the way for piece work, and which pro- vides guarantees to the manufactur- ers that no increase in the cost of pro- duction shall take place and that the union, furthermore, guarantees pro- duction standards to the manufactur- ers.

Whatever prosperity will take place will be enjoyed only by the bosses. The Advance should not make demagogic statements about the wrecking of the Amalgamated.
