During the trial the Sigman machine did all in: its power to prejudice the case against the strikers by spreading rumors that they were “Communist slug- gers.” Morris Sigman is president of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers Union. Since the convictio: the New York Joint Board of the Union, under leadership of the mili- tant section of the workers, has worked night and day to secure their release. Rights Defeated Recently it became known that the efforts of the New York Joint board would be successful. The Sigman machine saw with chagrin that the prisoners were soon to be free.
