I. Shiplacoff, manager of the union, of the old agreement with the bosses, it was learned yesterday. With this goes all the old condi- tions, a wage increase of 5 per cent for an insignificant number of week workers and a provision for a com- mittee to “investigate” the piece- | work question. | A meeting to ratify this “new” old agreement will be held this aft- ADMIT STOPPAGE Spike Lies of TAILORS TO GALL “mou: caon BIG CONFERENCE Hillman Gang Suspend A sharp denunciation of the sell- out by the chief of the administra- tion in the union with its abandon- ment of all the demands repeatedly put forth by the workers wes con- tained in a statement issued to the membership last night by the Pro- gressive Group in the union. The statement urges the membership to reject the sell-out and vote for an immediate general strike to win the demands of the workers. It fol- lows: Betrayal of Workers. “The settlement, which the ad- istration brings to us today for ratification, is a clear betrayal of our interests. The administration we put forth to the employers and brings to us the old agreement with some definite concession to the employers. The old agreement, ow- ing to the condition of our trade, the speed-up system, new machinery and other technical equipments, meeting | which the manufacturers have in- troduced in our industry, can no longer protect our living standards. Reject Sell-Out. “The prediction made by the Pro- gressive Group about the outcome of the traitorous conduct of Shipla- coff and his administration durirg negotiations with the employers for a new agreement is now an absolute fact. - “The 40-hour week and other de- mands we put forward to the em- ployers is of vital necessity to us, and we must get them in order to protect our working conditions. Vote For Strike. “Our slogans must be: A general strike to win the 40-hour week,and the rest of the demands! A gen- eval strike led by shop representa- tives. “We all know that the adminis- tration betrayed us! We must show the bosses and the clique that we have faith in our own strength and that we are ready to defend our in- \terests under all circumstances.” and Dance Our busses for this week leave: Monday Wednesday Friday 0 p.m. Saturday 1:30 p.m. ‘from 1800 SEVENTH AVE. cor. 110th St. New York Office: 1800 SEVENTH AVE.
