Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - March 11, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news warmer these Days Fly George e. Sokolsky he re not Rusty television is a discloser. In the old Days when an orator Rose to Tho occasion in ung his arms Over ins head pulled himself up on his toes and let out a shout it was impressive. On television in looks hysterical. I watched the orators shout and shriek Over television from Madison Square Garden Anent the dressmakers strike and it was a grand show because on Telven on these very serious minded labor Leader. Did not look so serious a Ideo they looked like politicians putting on an act but not a Good act president Eisenhower is stage minded by Robert Montgomery who in his Day was a pretty g of actor in tin movies however the president has a figure Aid a face that lend themselves to television that cannot be said it David Dubinsky the dressmaker s a a. Who is Short and dumpy and who gets hoarse too easily i Beard him Ray some words on telex Iii n. Sta ring his minions to strike. The words sounded to me through ins hoarseness and accent to be a we ainu trusty a a presuming that that is what he said i was not puzzled by the remark for Hie is a very Rich Union Worth about $200,000 000 in various assets it has had no strike in 25 years Dubinsky dominating this Industry completely not so much through his control of labor As by his control of the Bosses. This was accomplished during the depression Yea when Franklin d Roosevelt was in office too Dubinsky advantage was twofold first dressmaking is a marginal Industry involving a great Many employers who possess Small capital. Most of these employers Art Foi Mei workers members of he Union. When and if they go broke they must expect to go Bat k to work with a Union card. The relations therefore Between employee s and Union leaders Are unusually cordial. Secondly during the very bad years the Union was Able to lend the Bosses Money to Kilt p them in business this has paid off in a Quarter of a Century of Industrial peace. However one of the Basic troubles in this Industry is that Many old time racketeers particularly Tome of the boys of murder inc have invested their Money in it and such people an always in a hurry for profits. As new York City the Center of the Industry is not too pleasant for old associates of Lepke and Hurrah they have established their factories out of town principally in Pennsylvania and Connecticut. The Pennsylvania manufacturers an Able to undersell the new York manufacturers in a declining Market. This can disrupt any labor situation and Dubinsky has met it with a strike. Another Factor that enter., Fri. Picture is the changing racial composition of the won Force in this Industry. It used to be the outstanding Trade of the newer jewish immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe. Now re work Force is italian. Greek. Puerto rican and negro italian and Spanish have replaced yiddish As the Trade language but the Union leadership remains with few exceptions jewish. The leadership in fact was recruited principally from the old soda list party of Eugene v. Delis and Morns Hillquit ii is violently anti communist and has driven the communist out of their unions. It has fought the communists in every part of the world using Union funds for that purpose while they were doing this grand International Job the character it their working Force changed and a wide separation Iii thought language and motive developed Between the leadership and the rank and 1 lie. Whereas Dubinsky is highly respected As a Good citizen who is on intimate terms with such people us Nelson Rockefeller governor Harriman and mayor Wagner wages in Titis Industry Are still Low and seasonal shifts plague to worker it is a marginal Industry nobody wishes to crack d h Usky s Union because nobody wants the racketeers to came into the shops again that is the alternative. A Union Treasury of $200, ho.-000 is mighty inviting to the Crooks and because of the character of employment in this Industry it is a natural for the bracketed and the Crook. Therefore the employers As Well As the labor leaders understand that this is essentially a strike to strengthen the control of the labor leaders Over their own Union. There ought to be a More orderly Way to achieve objectives of this kind than the ridiculous strike a he Quot Quot a. \ of. So no. Ait it. Pleasant now a.
