) GARMENT STRIKE RESULTS INMORE PICKET ARRESTS. Milwaukee Workers for Militant Struggle MILWAUKEE, May 9.—The third arrest in the strike, conducted by the Amalgamated. Clothing > Workers’ Union against the Dayid Adler & Sons Co., here, was made yesterday when the bosses: ordered one of the active picket leaders taken in by the police. He was later fined $10 in the district court. This firm is conducting a bitter struggle against the union in an at-| a tempt to establish the open-shop. The union membership here is greatly dis-! satisfied with the way the organiza- tion is being misled: by the union administration, blaming it for orga- nization activity and laxness of trade control, which did much to encourage the Adler Co., to dare challenge the union to a life and- death struggle. Other Bosses Follow. | Being one of the largest firms in| the local industry, the example set} by it is being followed by the oihstl employers. Twenty-four firms having | a union contract, failed to renew their agreement with the Amalgamated The agreement expired April 30. The; manager of the Joint Board declared | that this is not important saying that | it will be signed later. The member- Ship, however, is demanding that steps be taken to compel immediate signing of new agreements, under- standing that this is but a maneuver of the bosses to await the outcome of the struggle with the Adler Co. Workers Demand Action. Demands are being made that the union be mobilized for a general struggle to obtain not only renewal of the old contract but improvement of conditions. CHICAGO YOUTH ORGANIZE RELIEF Conference — Plans to Help Mine Strike (Special To The D, DAILY WORKER) CHICAGO, May 9.—At a special “onference called by the Provisional Youth Committee for Miners’ Relief, held Sunes May 6th, at the Hulle House, me delegates repre- ting io youth organizations dis- sséd ways and means of aiding the ruggling miners. The conference was addressed by Brother Smith, a miner of Western Pennsylvania who seinted out the need for relief for the starving coal-miners and their depend- ents. Following the speaker there was a report of the Provisional committee that had called the conference. Dur- ng the discussion it was pointed ‘out that in the past month the strike had spread to other coal districts and even anorganized miners had’ left the pits in support of the strike in Pennsyl- vania and Ohio, and against the lock- out in Hlinois. The brutal activities of the coal and iron police, the local sheriffs, and the hired mine guards against the strikers was condemned also the fact that the senate investigation committee had not proposed anything concrete, and had merely white-washed the union-smash- ing program of the coal operators. The heroic part that the young min- , ers have been playing in the fight was brought out by enthusiastic young speakers, The delegates pointed out the great work that could be done by the youth organizations cf Chicago-to raise steady and substantial relief for | the suffering women and children in| the strike regions. An executive com- mittee of one representative from éach organization represented at the con- | ference was instructed to meet, or-| ganize itself, and lay down plans for | active miners’ relief. prevailing in the conference was an indication that the organizations rep- | resented in the conference would do their utmost to help the miners in their struggle to maintain their. con+ ditions.

In his opening speech Hyman’ and the other leaders of the left wing delega- tion declared that the work has _be- gun to rebuild the one powerful union destroyed by the pogroms and expulsions of the Sigman clique, over |ference will inaugurate the movemen |ganization: so that complete control ‘rests in the hands of the rank and file of the workers, were the main slogans brought forth in the speeches of the delegations’ leaders. The conference will continue until all plans for re- building the organization, destroyed‘by the Sigman and Schlesinger henchmen, have been completely elaborated. and prepared for execution, spokesmen for he conference declared later. Artificial Ovation. Meanwhile in the convention of the union wreckers, a very obviously arti- ficial ovation had been arranged by Sigman, for himself, in order to use it as a political maneuver to blast the hopes of his opponent for the presidency, Schlesinger. Sigman had arranged that a group of about 10 followers should prepare themselves with expensive bouquets of flowers, to bring in to him while he was mak- ing a-speech. They did this. The Sig- man delegates, an easy majority over che Schlesinger partisans, _ roared, stamped, and shouted “themselves hoarse as the flowers were brought in. fhe reason for the demonstration was explained a minute later in Sigman’s speech of acceptance. In the speech he declared that the flowers were a sign that all the lo- cals were opposed to the resolution of Schlesinger to put thru a referen- dum for the election of the president. Lhat this was a prepared speech, and a prepared ¢°mo “‘,alion was shown ver when he gave releases to the press Cuii.u.. ~ enact words ut- tered by him ‘egards to the refer- endum question. It was learnt how- ever, that despite Sigman’s majority of fake delegates, Schlesinger intends to run against Sigman, . * * An active members’ meeting will held here tonight in Manhattan | Lyceum, 66 E. 4th St. according to ;a statement issued yesterday: from | the offices of the Joint Board of the | Cloakmakers’ Union.

The committee also is making a special | plea to organizations of all kinds to jenlist the aid of their full member- | ships. MILLINERS HOLD PROTEST MEET |Attack Union-Wrecking of Zaritsky One thousand cap and millinery jworkers at a meeting held, late Thursday night, enthusiastically pledged their support. to the militant jand left wing members of the union in their fight against the newly Jaunched campaign of reactionary President Max Zaritsky, who is at- | tempting to remove from the leader- \ship of the union all those who op- pose his policy of giving more and more concessions to the employers. The principal speaker at the meet- ing, which was held at the Irving Plaza Hall, 15th St. and Irving} Place, was J. B. Salzburg, until re- cently leader of the Chicago cap- makers’ strike, and removed from leadership of the strike and from the managership of the Chicago Joint Board because he denounced the ac- tion of the right wing general ex- Chicago strike. He also accused them of other disruptive measures. Salzburg Gets Ovation. Thunderous applause greeted Salz- burg when he rose to address the meeting. In a speech lasting’ two| hours he drew a picture of the union- wrecking betrayals of the clique-con- trolled general executive board. Salzburg is also a member of the general executive board, altho recent- ly suspended. He told how Zaritsky | decided to again acquire presidency of the union after his ventures into the life insurance brokerships had failed. ‘The other speakers, all greeted | with wild applause, were H. Sazer, Juqowsky, and Gladys Schechter, leader of the Millinery Hand Work- ers Local 23, which Zaritsky is try- ing to destroy. DR. MORRIS LEVITT | Surgeon Dentist 1919 So.

ONE UNION, CRY OF FUR WORKERS Re fuse d Hearing By Right Wing Council (Continued from Page One) committees’ demand, was enough how- ever, to prevent the thugs at Mc- Grady’s command from assaulting the elderly union men and women com- posing the committee. Despite an immediate police call |sent in which was answered by a large squadron of policc, the hundreds of |workers continued to picket the of- fices of the union wreckers. This did not prevent the scheduled meeting of the council from wrang- \ling far into the morning on the ques- |tion the committee placed before it.

MAURER ASSISTS LEWIS MACHINE Absents Self From State Convention (Continued from P the credentials’ commit plained by some delegates line with Maurer’s absence t ago from the Penn Party Convention. It wa: ° quite a few delegates were disillusion ed by this action of Maurer. Otis Leads Fight. Next came the big fight of the pro- gressives, led by John Otis, candidate for the presidency of the State Fed- eration of Labor for the seating of the militant striking miners at the convention. The credentials’ commit- tee, dominated by the Lewis-Cap- pellini-Maurer combination, the re- porter being McElroy, a Maurer man recommended the unseating of dele- gates Harvey and Munsey of Locals 2881 and 2210 respectively, which were contested by Fagan, president of District 5, U. M. W. Delegate Tashinsky of Local 524, a young progre ve miner amended the report of the committee to investigate the false claims of Fagan. He was supported by Delegate Burt of the Philadelphia fur workers, who pro- tested against the action of the cre- dentials’ committee and demanded that the credentials’ committee com- ply with the constitution of the Penn- sylvania State Federation of Labor that calls for the investigation of all contests of delegates. Seeing that the progressives were beginning to develop a fight against the Lewis-Cappellini-Maurer combina- tion, John Phillips, Maurer’s candi- date for the presidency, moved the previous question. Demands Seating. At this point Delegate Otis, a lead- er of the progressive forces at this convention, demanded the floor on a point of order and attempted the ex- posure of’ the machinations of the Lewis-Cappellini gang and demanded the seating of the delegates, Despite Bowers’ refusal to recognize Otis and an attempt of the machine to over- ride the point of order and an appeal to the chair, the progressives suc- ceeded in making their voices heard on the matter. Finally a vote on the previous question was taken with over 50 delegates voting against the shut- ting off of discussion and for the seating of the miners’ delegates. The machine railroaded the decision thru and exposed itself as tools of Lewis- Cappelini and the coal operators. The progressive delegates at the convention, it is reported, are plan- ning to reopen the miners’ question and the strike situation in the discus- sion of the president’s report.
