mes t q BOSSES RETAIN HALF OF RELIEF Spend $40,000 of Fund For Building How the right wing leadership of the Cloth Hat, Cap and Millinery Workers’ Union administers the un- employment insurance fund, the dis- ribution of which the unemployed membership has been hopefully await- ng in this period of crisis in the in- dustry, became known yesterday when the details of the events trans- piring at a shop chairman meeting held Thursday night in Beethoven Hall were learned. Gain Unemployment Fund. The Capmakers’ Union of New York gained an unemployment insur- ance fund, as a concession from the employers as a result of the brilliant struggles for the raising of union standards conducted by the other nee- @e trades unions. The fund was to consist of contribution by the employ- ers of three per cent of their weekly payroll, The whole power of distribu- tion rested in the hands of the union. The wave of general unemployment has been intensified in the cap and millinery industry by the total ab- sence of organization. work, which should have been conducted by the union as an answer to the spreading open shops in and around New York. Many of the unemployed workers were eagerly waiting for the assis- tance which $13 a week can give to a family in such a critical period. ¢ Shut Off Relief. But the membership should have known their bureaucrats better, how- ever, for an announcement was made several weeks ago that the unemploy- ment fund was closed by the union management. President Zaritcky’s New York followers did not even con- sider it necessary to ask permission from the membership. For a certain period they merely turned away all those applying for relief without ad- mitting that the unemployment fund was officially closed. It was only the constant hammering of the left wing at the union meetings, that caused them finally to admit that they closed relief sources. The officials, however, again and again withstood the demands: of the membership that they divulge the reasons for closing the unemployment the closing was temporary. Money Squandered. The deep resentment growing among the membership crystalized Thursday at the shop chairman meet- ing, and the following simple explana- tion offered by Zaritsky’s agents. The reason for closing the fund was because there is no more money, But there are reasons for that, they said, namely that the tens of thousands of dollars with which the employers’ as- sociation was in arrears, was paid by only 50 per cent. This, they declared, was in accord with a decision made by Dr. Abelson, the impartial chairman of the industry. The other 50 per cent was to be kept by the bosses. Instead of demanding from the em- ployers that they pay interest on the money belonging to the workers, which they held in their possession for so many months, the union offi- cials allowed the bosses to keep half of the money. the “impartiality” of the “doctor” when he renders a fifty-fifty deci- sion. The second reason for the absence of money from the trust fund is be- cause they used the remaining $40,- €00 to pay for improvements on Beethoven Hall which is owned by the union. Tel, Lehigh 6022.
