Deportation Threat | organizing a branch in Bensonhurst:} AGAINST SIGMAN Workers Will Give Day Weekly to Unemployed The monster mass meeting Madison Square Garden last Satur- day was the signal for the intensifica- tion of the cloakmakers’ struggle against the united front of Sigman and the bosses. The first drive in the offensiv made on Monday night at a s meeting of active members of the Cloak and Dress Pressers’ Union, Lo- cal 35, held at 10 East 9gnd St. The gathering of these workers was spon- taneous, an outburst of their readiness | to press the fight to a victory. Fully a hundred workers were pres- ent. The atmosphere was tense with enthusiasm. In the speeches the so- called organization campaign of Sig- man’s dual local under Hi eee ship of the notorious Breslaw, was branded as a camouflage and a smoke sereen under which the labor bureau- |erats with the help of the bosses go} on with their hounding of militant workers from the shops. Company Union Leaders. Instance after instance was brought up to show the level of degradation to which these company union leaders have sunk in their onslaught against left wing workers. Many, of the workers present were victims of the Breslaw “organization campaign’. They are the staunchest rebels whom the discredited Sigman-Breslaw com- bination has picked to be made bread- less with the hope that their spirit!) would be broken. This is the splendi effort of the new “general organize: and supervisor” Breslaw who mus’ “make good” if he is to be allowe, to stay. Give One Day A Week. : But the workers at this meetin, proved how ineffectual are all the e forts of the labor traitors against th solid stand of the left wing. By a unanimous vote amid great enthus- iasm it was decided that every worker } present who has work shall give one day’s employment every week to a fellow-presser who has been dis- charged from his shop for refusing to register in the company union set up by Sigman and the bosses.
