Facing tiie Facts
With PHILIP PEARL
They say *11 the good things in life
are free. That goes for publicity,
too. We could write reams about the
fallacies, the hypocrisy and the sinis
ter aspects of the C. 1. O. and not do
half so good a job as John L. Lewis
does for us unconsciously every time
he opens his mouth to make a speech
or issue a statement. We ought to put
him on our payroll.
The trouble is that once we started
anything like that we would have too
many candidates. And, besides, we
couldn’t afford it. But we do appre
ciate the efforts of those who are ef
fectively doing our jpob for us these
days. And so, we are going to turn
over the column to them this week.
First we want to quote from the
statements made at a meeting of shop
chairmen of Local 26 of the Amal
gamated Clothing Workers of Amer
ica (CIO) in New York City, as re
ported in the New York Times of Feb.
8. Mind you, this is the union headed
by Sidney Hillman, vice-president of
the C. I. O. The meeting was held
following Lewis* open attacks on Pres
ident Roosevelt and indignation ran
high. Jacob Berkowitz, a member
of the local, said:
“The President of the C. I. O. is
now playing in the same orchestra
with the Communists and the Nazis.”
When the Worm Turns
Strong words from a C. I. O. mem
ber? But listen to what Benjamin
Fleishfarber, a member of the local’s
executive board, said:
“Frits Kuhn is in jail, Earl Brow
der has been sentenced to a prison
term and the only one to carry on
Communist propaganda in this coun
try is John L. Lewis.”
If this weren’t enough, Joseph
Goodman, another executive board
member in this C. I. 0. union follow
ed it up by declaring the members of
the United Mine Workers would be

"happy” if Lewis resigned as their
president. Apparently, the speaker
realized the miners couldn’t get rid of
Lewis any other way.
Now we turn to the Nation, issue
of Feb. 24, and we find an article
by Kenenth G. Crawford, new presi
dent of the American Newspaper
Guild (CIO), taking Lewis to task
for his speech at the American Youth
Congress. Mr. Crawford says:
“His (Lewis’) position on the Fin
nish question has made him a figure
around whom the forces of the ex
treme left, badly demoralieed by Rus
sian collaboration with Germany in
Poland and by the subsequent Russian
invasion of Finland, can rally.”
The cream of the crop, however, is
an article by Benjamin Stolberg, for
mer C. I. O. sympathizer, in the cur
rent issue of the American Mercury
Mr. Stolberg says:
“Today Lewis has only one policy:
No peace at any price! For almost
a year he has kept all peace negotia
tions with the AFL suspended, and in
his own inner circles he has vetoed,
almost hysterically, every possible
move towards unity.
THE ST ALlN-HITLEJt-LEWIS PACT
“His seemingly senseles sattacks
on the President in January at the
Golden Jubilee convention of the
miners, his desperate sabotage of the
AFL in trying to organize dual un
ions even in well-organized building
industry, the ever tightening central
ization of power in his own hands, the
close approximation of his program to
that of the Communist Party even
after Stalin’s attack on Finland—ev
erything he does is determined by his
be no unity
obicyiion tlirt
in the labor movement.
“The fast that Lewis, who it neither
a Communist nor a fellow-tuawler,
needs the Stalinists to prevent neeee
in the labor mwnafr Though ho
does not ‘fbUoto* thePoOtjrXine, he
'parallels’ it The new ‘radicalism’
and isolationism of the Stalinists Is «f
course motivated entirely by the mili
tary necessities of the Soviet Nasi al
lies. But the Communist procram it
also Lewis’s program, though his mo
tives art simply to p re vast peace with
the AFL and to keep power ever the
C. I. 0. It could be shown that al
most every ieeae he raises has been
raised the *ae wag in the MQp
Worker. At no time has Lewis In
dicted the StaUn-Hitlsr alliance; he
has kept , mam about the attack on
Finland. Today he is the hero of the
Communist Party. In the C. I. O. the
Communists made their activiteia be
hind Lewis’s hostility to the Admin
istration.
“The fact that Lewis cannot get rid
of the Communists in the C. I. O., for
they permeate its entire structure.
And he wouldn't if he could because
they are his main aids in preventing a
united labor movement. But the la
bor war which he and the Commun
ists are deepening impairs the
strength of organised labor at the
time when it most needs strength and
unity.”
In the third century B. C., Empev
ror Chin (often recorded as Shill) of
China, for whom China was named,
drew the various regions together and
fromed an empire. He then built the
Great Wall as a protection against
the nomad tribes of the north. Chin
also erected a palace containing one
thousand rooms, and slept in a differ
ent room each night, fearing assassi
nation.

GARMENT WORKERS*
LABEL
The United Garment Workers of
America uses the above Label,
which distinguishes the class of
merchandise for which Label is
issued by running through the
center on the face of the Label
in line type the word “Clothing**
as on the above. On others: “Spe
cial Order Clothing,’’ “Custom
Made,” “Duck Goods,” or “Neck
wear .*V This identification of prod
uct is made clear either in line
letters across face of Label or
printed at one end of same, t
The United Garment Workers of
America adopted the Union Label
in 1891. At that time tailors
worked 16 hours per day under the
task and sweating system. Ninety
eight per cent of the tailoring
industry was done in tenement
house shops; operators furnished
their own thread and machines
and it was a common practice for
much of the work to be done in
the living room in which the family
slept. Tailors worked as many as
78 to' 86 hours per week. The
United Garment Workers were
greatly instrumental in having
laws passed abolishing the opera
tion of tenement house shops, the
task, sweating system and home
work. Wages were standardised
and increased from year to year.
Hours were reduced until now the
work clothing business is on a 40
hour-week basis and 36 hours in
the men's clothing industry. The
Garment Workers industry was
one of the first to establish the
five-day work week.
Millions of the United Garment
Workers' of America’s Union
Labels are used annually. It is
the only official emblem in the
men's clothing industry that is
recognised by the American Fed
eration of Labor.
