Page 4 DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER §8, 1934 a Unity of Dressmakers Hailed by Rank and File VITAL PR OBLEM EVADED BY BOARD OF THE Gold Points to the Quick and Open Lovestone and Zimm LLG.W.U. Move of erman Against Unity of Workers in Trade By BEN GOLD j (National Secretary-Treasurer of | The Needle Trades Workers | Industrial Union) | We were not mistaken in our fore- cast. We prophesied that the deci- sion of the Industrial Union to unite i | of being realizi s is at the point they all of a sud- den took fright and came out with a panicky effort to resist unity at all costs. No worker can fail to see through these hollow phrases about unity. And it is because the Love- stoneites have begun to realize that unity of the w © ee vr have an excellent opportunity od | discover the role these renegades | are playing in the labor movement. | It would, however, be a funda- mental error to be lured by the| Were trimming the workers down to} hardened politicians into a discus- sion of the decision of the Indus- | | trial Union from the dishonest, un: principled and demagogic point of view of the Lovestonites. The prob- lem is of the utmost importance, not only to those thousands of workers whose bread and butter is directly involved, but to the work- ers who compose the entire labor movement and to whom the ques- | |tion of unity is of vital interest. The proposal for unity must con- |sequently be considered from a much “broader angle. First of all, we must not for one! | moment lose sight of the fact that | it is the right wing union officials, not we, that are responsible for the division in the workers’ ranks. It | |is @ fact which Zimmerman is well | aware of, convenient though it may with the dressmakers would call|the workers are no longer to Be | he for him to ignore it, When the | forth an overwhelming and enthu- | siastic wave of response from the | workers, and would be met with | fooled by these politician tricks that they now resort to outright lying. In their declaration these utterly |left wing delegates left the con- | | vention hall in 1926 with Zimmer- | man, then their “political leader,” overrun with open shops. Working conditions had become unbearable. |The wage-level was sinking like a jrock. The jobbers and contractors | the very bone. The union’s policy of locking out the workers had completely -dis- credited it in the eyes of the work-| ers. Gang feuds developed in these j helplessly drifting unions—in the |cloak and dress international be- tween Zigman and Schlesinger, in the furriers union between the fol- | lowers of Stetski, Sorkin and Kauf- man. With the union officials working hand in hand with the bosses and the police against those workers whom they could not force into} their reorganized unions, the bosses fully exploited the situation to their | profit, It became an urgent neces- sity to unite these workers and | offer resistance to this merciless cutting of their wages and condi- tions. It was at that time, two years after our expulsion from the Inter- national, that we organized the In- dustrial Union. The program of the venom and gall by those who| shameless perverters of the truth | anda split was imminent, the T.U,|1#dustrial Union, calling for a tremble at the thought of workers’ unity. In Cooper Union the masses of the dressmakers, including those that are members of the Interna- tional, greeted our move for unity with wild and prolonged applause, and eagerly accepted services in the committee that was chosen to help bring this unity about. With thousands upon thousands of workers waiting impatiently for its decision, the General Executive Board of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, has not yet moved to consider the question, nor has the Joint Board of the dressmakers yet taken up this press- ing problem. But Jay Lovestone and Sasha Zimmerman, generalissi- | mos of the fake “progressive” group, were the first to rush out in an open move against unity, to provide | the basis for a continuation of the | division in the ranks of the dress- | makers. In their official declaration in the press, which was also circulated among the workers in leaflet form, the Lovestoneite fake “progressive” group assures the workers that the decision to unite the dressmakers is made “not in order to strengthen our union (the IL.G.W.U.) and make it more effective in fighting for union conditions, but in order to strengthen the left wing in its attack upon our unions.” But the Azevs of the Lovestoneite ‘progressive” clique have not con- tented themselves with that. “This represents,” they try to convince the workers, “the last desperate attempt to bring about what the dual union- ists have always been after — the disruption and the destruction of | our union.” Two Important Points Two important points stand out clearly from the above quotations | of the Lovestoneite statement: | First, the decision of the Industrial | Union to unify the dressmakers was an unexpected blow to the | Lovestoneites; and secondly, that they are determined, and are al- ready gathering their forces, to thwart the move for unity among the dressmakers! With an inconsistency character- istic of the Lovestoneite “progres: ives,” the same circular that is filled to bursting with wild and vicious | arguments against unity, contains | also the following: “We have always and at every opportunity, fought for unity.” Apparently when the of his 66 2/3 years of service to the | sending in only “the few dressmak- | What can a mighty local like Local | \cil, while the Lovestoneites are in say to the workers that “they (meaning the Industrial Union] make it perfectly clear that the dressmakers are going back into the International in order to fight our union, in order to sabotage the work of our union.” In this way they try to bolster up their own lies by twisting and perverting the declara- tion of the Industrial Union. In other words, they say to the work- ers, if you don’t believe us, here are the words of the Industrial Union to the effect that they are going in to break up the International. And all this is done in order to pre- vent the dressmakers from uniting their forces! In their panicky efforts to work up some feeling among the dress- makers against unification, these de- | praved politicians let the cat out | of the bag. “Their main objective,” | “is to come into the International in order to combat the progressive | administration of our local,” There | you have the whole story. That's | where it hurts them! That is for them the danger spot in the whole | question of unity. That is why they | are throwing themselves so franti- | cally in the way of workers’ unity | and are issuing loud cries for help. The “Progressive” Record ‘We will come back to the “pro- gressive” record of the Lovestoneites later and bring out a few points that are common knowledge among | all the dressmakers. But first we! would like to put a few innocent | questions to the “progressive” ad- ministrators. Let us assume that. the dress-/ makers of the Industrial Union have a particular aversion for “progress- ive” administrations, that they have an unreasonable preference (can! you imagine it!) for the black-reac- tionary variety. Why should this fact introduce a panic among the thousands upon thousands of dress- | makers in Local 22, especially since, as the leaflet declares at the very beginning, the Industrial Union is ers still remaining” in their union? 22, provided with a ve” administration, have to fear from just “a few remaining” dressmakers? A short time ago furriers from the | right wing union were taken into the Industrial Union. From the | very first day these workers received | | their full rights as union members | of long standing to participate in all the activities of the union, to talk at meetings, to criticize when they felt inclined to, and to occupy } official positions. Some of these | workers, now filling position of trust | and responsibility in our union, were formerly leaders in the right wing Joint Council. Why were we not afraid of these | former members of the Joint Coun- such dread of the “few remaining” | dressmakers of the Industrial Union? ‘We had*perfect faith that the radical movement MASTER OF CEREMONIES: REPERTORY THEATRE & 6th Ave, and 14th st. @ % % at the CIVIC Featuring: Emily Early New Dance Group William Bowers Rebel Art Chorus Karnot & Robinson Bunin Puppet Show Rebel Art Players Workers’ Lab.

Why |do not the Lovestonites show a sim- |ilar faith in their workers? The dressmakers are certainly not so ignorant, foolish and reactionary as to allow tiemselves to be in- fluenced by “a few dressmakers” from the Industrial Union, to lose confidence in their ‘progressive’? administration and seek to install a black, reactionary one? Somehow it doesn’t seem to fit. Most Hardened Warriors Furthermore, the dressmakers in | the Industrial Union are known to |all the workers in the trade as the most experienced and hardened of | working class warriors, workers who |have been through the severest tests and risked their lives for the | interests of the workers. Why| should such workers in particular prefer reactionary to progressive ad- ministrations? Do not these workers have to make a living just as any others? And what worker in a shop would not like to have progressive, honest workers to represent him? Do the Lovestonites really think that the dressmakers will fall for such lopsided, idiotic arguments | that they make use of in order to |hinder the unity of the workers? ‘ ; distinguish themselves by their the Lovestoneite circular goes on who S ! to say about the Industrial Union, ee demagogy, could dare to deny | Thursday | U.L. threw its weight against such | an outcome, and a split was avoided. ' If Zimmerman were possessed of | even a spark of common decency he would have to remain silent | when the word “split” is mentioned. | In 1925-26 we controlled 80 per. cent of the furriers, nevertheless we | tmade no attempt to organize a/ {separate union, Even at the time! | when the International officials | |shut out some of the biggest locals ; \of left wing workers in the cloak, | i dress and fur trades, we fought for |reinstatement for two solid years. | Is there a single worker in the! needle trades unacquainted with | this unquestioned fact? The reor- | ganizations in these unions were} carried through without the con- | sent and against the desires of the» members, Only the _ Lovestonites, | these historic facts. Under what circumstances did we form the Industrial Union? In 1929 we had been locked out of the union for two years and our pleas for reinstatement were turned down. | The majority of the cloakmakers, dressmakers and furriers were out- side of the union. The industry was struggle to maintain both the con- | ditions of the wo:kers and the unity in their ranks, we have honestly and faithfully adhered to, despite temporary weaknesses due to our many-sided activities, The history of the six years of | the existence of the Industrial | Union is the history of a fearless, courageous battle for the rights and! for the unity of the workers. We | started out with the strike of the dressmakers in 1929 and continued to lead the workers in numerous struggles for their economic rights. | The strikes led by the Industrial Union in the dress trade year after year and season after season un- | doubtedly paved the way for the successful strike of 1933, During the past few years, afte: we had rid ourselves of the Love-! stonites and the decaying Loveston- ite opportunism, we began to de- velop a broad movement for unity | and united action among the work- ers in the needle trades. The Love-! Stonites were not slow to detect j the danger to them in this policy, and combated our united front tac- tic with all the desperation they could command. They realized that united struggles of the workers must inevitably lead to the ultimate com- {plete unification of the workers. And just as then the Lovestonites tried their best to convince every- one with loud shouts that the united front tactic is a Communist trick, |so now these demagogues try to pull | the wool over the eyes of the work- ers by declaring that “Ben Gold admits that the entire fuss they raised in the past about unity was | just a well-planned maneuver.” | These statements reveal the shabby |and tricky subterfuges which Love- stone and Zimmerman have learned to perfection in their factional bickering. But with all their deceitful and dishonest assertions about what “they themselves say” and “even they admit,” these fakers canaot deny that we not only agitated for unity and carried on _ successful strikes on the basis of the united tooth and nail, but that we have not ceased to fight up to the pres- ent moment for the unity of the workers not just in one trade, but for the amalgamation of all the} needle trades workers into one union. In the knitgoods trade, among others, we have been demanding for the past ten months that a conference of all workers be called for the purpose of creating one union in the trade. Let it be borne in mind that up till last year there: was only one union in the knitgoods industry, and that was the Indus- trial Union! With the help of the Lovestonite clique Dubinsky got up another union, and the United Tex- tile Workers went ahead and or- ganized a third. With all that, the Lovestonite Politicians try to maintain the fiction that we are the dual union- ists. Let the Lovestonites try to ex- plain why they have not taken up our proposals for one union in the knitgoods field! Are three unions better than one in the knitgoods trade? Let the Lovestonites explain why they turned down our proposal for @ united knitgoods strike, and in- sisted on two separate strikes! These bald, incontrovertible facts nevertheless do not keep th Love- stonites from declaring that they “have always, and at every oppor- tunity, fought for unity.” Such is the shameless brazenness of dema- gogues!
