The meeting was called together as a result of distribution of circulars signed by a voluntary impartial com- mittee of unemployed cloak and dress- makers, Many workers spoke from the floor, severely condemning the vight wing Sigman machine for con- ducting a war against the union which has resulted in great unemploy- ment and the destruction of union conditions in the shops. Sigman Makes Confessions. At the General Executive Board of the I. L. G. W. U. which reconvened yesterday at the Hotel Manger in New York after having met all last week in Forrest Park, Pa., Sigman, in | discussing the finances of the union | revealed two very significant facts. | One is that he admitted that the funds | of nearly all the out of town locals | have been drained to get money with | which to carry on the war against the / Joint Board. Sigman also announced | that the I. L. G, W. U. no longer | controls fifty-one per cent of the stock | of the International Union Bank. He admitted that a considerable portion of this stock had been sold to outside 'm. on “The Decisive Struggles in the Friday evening. a jlyn, * Hike Sunday Morning.

This is intended as a move to! line up the workers in support of the | request and possibly to prevent union- | izing of the men, it is stated. In 1921, Quackenbush, Hedley, the! president of the road, and other of-| ficers raised their own salaries when| the pay of the men was reduced 10! per cent. In 1926 these officers voted! themselves a bonus of several thous- ands of dollars for their activities in, breaking the 1926 strike. | Phone Stuyvesant 3816 ’ John’s Restaurant SPECIALTY: ITALIAN DISHES A place with atmosphere where all radicals meet. bee E. 12th St. New York.
