DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1929 __ BOSSES, LGW. 0 STOP FAKE STRIKE TUESDAY Industrial Union Calls for Struggle | (Continued from Page Onc) | Labor, and was under the general | supervision of Tammany’s banker | lieutenant governor, Col. Herbert Lehman. | By tonight, when a final confer- enee will be held, it ip expected that | everything will be “fixed and the | workers will be sent back to their | shops Tuesday. Thus, the widely- heralded fake stoppage, which was | to have inaugurated “a new era”} for the bitterly exploited cloakmak- fs, will have lasted exactly two leeks, the shortest “strike” in the story of the garment industry. But in that time it will have served its purpose, repeatedly emphasized in the Daily Worker: it will have strengthened the employers’ asso- ciation by declaring open war on the competition of independent manu- facturers; it will have netted the “socialist” officials of the scab In- ternational many thousands of dol- lars in strike assessments and dues (exhorted from the workers mainly hy force), as well as contributions muleted from the members of other unions where the corrupt right wing gang in control, and it will have established a “joint board of con- trol” (the control will-be by Tam- many and the bosses) for the more complete enslavement of the cloak- | makers. Predictinns of “Daily” Vindicated- | In other words, everything that | the Daily Worker declared in the past about this fraud has been| proved true. In Monday's issue the | “Daily” gave the details of the fake stoppage canspiracy between the! company union chiefs, the employ- | ers and Tammany politicians. The announcement of the agreement he- tween the I. L. G. W. and the In- ustrial Council shows that the pre- ietions of the Daily Worker, which ve based on authoritative infor- ation, have been proved true al- most 100 per cent. . All the capitalist press - frankly declares that the basis for the new agreement is not improved condi- tions for the workers, but the elim~ ination of the independent manufac, turers and the strengthening of the three bosses’ associations! In fact, this was the keynote of the speerh of the president of the A. F. of L., William Green, who declared that independents who want settlements | will first have to join one of ‘the| three associations. Workers Must Reject Fraud. The only hitch in this wonderful display of ‘brotherly love is the cloakmakers themselves. ‘ging the cloakmakers to reject ungquivo- cally the new fake pel seein a statement issued yesterday by the Joint Board of the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union, declares: “The ‘strike’ called by tke com- Jany union, at the request of the sosses’ associations, is alrendy set- tled. ‘The so-called demands put forth by the Schlesinger clique, such as unemployment ‘insurance, elimination of discharge, increase of wages, as well as the counter-de- mands of the bosses, wexe/merely 2 smoke screen in order tg, create the fmpression that there are real dif-| ferences between the inher union and the bosses and tlrat the fake atrike is a real strike. “The Forward and jall the capi-| talist newspapers, including the Day, are widely proclaiming the ‘victory’ of the cloakmakers. ‘As far as the workers are concerned, however, everything remains ‘as before, the same sweatshop, the same long hours and miserable conditions, Even the point with/regard to dis- charge, of which the/company union made such an issue during the last few months, has heen abandoned. Give Up 40Hour Week. “According to, the report of ‘Women’s Wear,’ ‘the employers’ or- gan, it is evidenjt to all that the tosses have won the right to have the cloakmakers, work on Saturday, which means that the company union has giyen up the 40-hour, 5-day week.

Very important matters will be i} at 8:30 p.m, SHARP, at 26 Union HIT SPY SYSTEM $ taken up, and it is important that you should be present without fail—BE ON TIME. Ti is quite possible that in order to, fool the workers and cover up their | shameful treachery the Schlesinger | clique will get the bosses to agree | to an increase of $2 or $3 on the minimum scale, which means prac- tically nothing to the workers, since the vast majority of the workers in| the contracting shops are working piece-work and after the ‘victorious’ | strike will surely continue to work piece-work, most likely at lower yates. For this reason the contrac- | tors can afford to promise a raise | not only of $2 “but even of $15 per | week. “The fake strike and the treach- | erous settlement will tear off the| mask of te Schlesinger scab| agency, now they haye openly con- | ceded through President Green that | the task of ‘the union is to organize | a strong association and to drive all} hosses into the association. Their | contention that the independent: shops | are the sweatshops of the industry and that the association shops are | conditions ‘is such a brazen lie that | even the most backward. workers | will net be fooled, Is it necessary | te tell the cloakmakers that there are enough shops in the association | where the workers are compelled to | submit to the most shameful condi- | tions and that, on the contrary, there s¥e independent shops where | the conditions are more or less de- cent. “Outright Treachery.” | “Newer before was there a prece- | dent of such an outright treache: as is ‘this fake strike. It is the first time that workers are called out on rike in order to organize associa- | tions for the bosses. | “But the cloakmakers will not per- | mit’ themselves to be used as tools | by the clique, the bosses and the Forward ‘socialist’ agents. | “To defeat their treacherous plans | the cloakmakers must refrain from contributing a single penny to the cpmpany union. They must imme- diately join the Industrial Union | and together we will destroy the | present conditions | “The cloakmakers must immedi- | ately begin to break the chains thrust upon them by the treacher- cus clique and their agents. This can he accomplished @énly ‘when the | cloakmakers in mass will join the | Industrial Union. Then we will be! in a position, through our united, forees, to build a strong and pow- erful union which will bring back the unjon conditions, sold out to the | bosses by the Schlesinger-Dubinsky | ~ seab agency.” P { The Needle Trades Workers In- | dustrial Union announces that it has} made settlements with several more | shops and the cloakmakers are re- turning to work under the 40-hour, | 5-day week, week work and the| other union conditions.
