THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1928 Page Five. SIGMAN ORDERS PIGKETS JAILED 3,000 Dressmakers. at Webster Hall, Meeting As a result of the recent announce- ment by Morris Sigman, president of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union, that he intends to begin a so-called organization drive, Ruth Honingsfeld and Mike Carlozz: yesterday afternoon, to days in the workhouse by Magistrate Alexander Brough, in Jefferson Mar- ket Court. Arrested While Picketing. Instead of building the union by organizing thousands of unorganized dressmakers, it is pointed out, Sig- man’s “drive” consists merely in try- whose workers support the Joint Board. This was proved when the Rose Dress Company, at Sigman’s suggestion, ordered its workers to register in his union. The workers answered this with a strike. The arrests took place when the workers were picketing the shop ear- lier in the day. Three thousand dressmakers meet- ing at Webster Hall last night lis- tened to speeches by leaders of the Joint Board, Cloak and Dressmakers’ Union. It was pointed out to the as- sembled workers that Sigman’s drive is merely an attempt to collect dues. The speakers were Louis Hyman, manager of the Joint Board; Julius Portnoy, treasurer, and Rose Wortis of Local 22. Charles S. Zimmerman presided. The right wing meeting held at the same time at Bryant Hall was at- tended by less than 30 people. Foreign Born Council Organized in Yonkers 1a YONKERS,, N.

I. Shiplacoff, manager of the Pock- jetbook Workers’ Union, at a meeting in the, Rand School last Wednesday answered the union membership who |had condemned him for applying for |injunctions instead of organizing the workers to fight the bosses. Disregards Workers. ers who advocated the mass violation of injunctions, Shiplacoff complained that hiring gangsters was too big an expense, and insisted on continuing his policy of facing the employers with legal writs. In spite of the serious unemploy- ment problem facing the workers who jare already overburdened with a six- |ty-dollar tax and heavy dues, Shipla- coff announced the intention of the union to buy a building for $100,000, instead of making an unemployment jfund. To Oppose Shiplacoff. Nominations for officers also took |place. Louis Eisner, a charter mem- | ber, was nominated to oppose Shipla- eoff in the coming elections for man- ager. tion that $150 a week jobs are quite scarce, is responsible, it is believed, for his acceptance of the nomination. Taxj Driver Ready to Plead Case Is Freed Samuel Lauer, 28, a taxi driver, argued his case well when he ap- |peared before Magistrate McAndrews charged with pa ig a traffic signal. Noticing a thick book under Lauer’s arm, the magistrate asked him what jit was. \it was a copy of the penal code, and that he was studying law. The magis- trate, impressed, let him go. Seldom do the taxi drivers get off so easily, however. Usually suspen- ‘sions and revocations follow the most trivial “offenses.” The hack bureau at which practically all cases are “tried,” is the source of considerable bitter feeling among taxi drivers against the police control of the in- dustry. 50 Rescued In Tenement Fire Fifty panic-stricken tenants of a East One Hundred and Thirteenth St: mostly women and children, were res= cued early yesterday when they were trapped in the building by flames and smoke, | The fire, starting in a dumbwaiter shaft on the second floor, quickly spread to the other floors. Some of the occupants dashed through flames to the street and several others got out by a fire-escape in the rear be- fore the blaze gained headway. Others found the way blocked and rushed to windows to call for help. eS \I. Gratz, secretary, 209 Bay 34th St., Brooklyn. * * For Relief of Fur Workers.
