A report in the Daily News Record of Monday. July 6, states that the demands of the bosses are retad- justments in cutting wages of $10 to each cutter, guaranteed single production for each cutter which is equivalent to piece work, piece work in the entire children’s clothing trade, and 10 per cent re-organiza- tions right for the entir® industry. The answer of Hillman and the ection of this clique within the union, ts only one that can encouurage the bosses in their demands against the workers. In the same issue of the Daily News Record, there is the an- swer to the attacks of the bosses. The only thing Hillman has to say is that he is surprised at the “meth- ods of demands.” Hillman is sur- prised that any demands have been | made to the press by the manufac- turers before submitting them to the unuion in conference. Hillman does not object to the demands of the bosses’ but only to the methods of printing these demands in the | papers. H ‘The Amalgamated misleaders have | laid the basis for the betrayal of | the conditions of the tailors in New York at the «time when they have supposedly renewed on the same con- ditions as the Rochester agreement, but the bosses in Rochester continue with cutting wages and throwing out workers from the shops as in the Fashion Park shops where 850 work- ers are being thrown out into the streets.
